A compilation of the world’s scariest tourist attractions

Every tourist attraction has its own characteristics, and some attractions use horror as a reason to attract people to come here. The horror element has always been an element that some people like, so today we Let’s take a look at some of the scariest tourist attractions! The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, Sicily

The Catacombs of the Capuchin monks of Palermo are catacombs discovered in 1599 on the Italian island of Sicily.

There are 8,000 mummified corpses hanging on the walls. These corpses are suspended by hooks at their necks and feet, and they are wearing expensive clothes. These clothes are replaced at regular intervals with donations from the families of the deceased. .

Initially, the catacombs were only used to display deceased Catholic monks, but local rich and famous people became interested in this sacred underground tomb and planned to display their bodies here after death. As a symbol of social status.

The mystery of the tomb lies in the unique mummification method used by the locals.

The body of the deceased was first washed with vinegar, and then hung on a ceramic tube in the catacombs to dry for 8 months, exposed to a flowing air environment.

After these treatments, some bodies were preserved with antiseptic drugs, while others were sealed in glass cabinets.

The last body preserved here was a little girl, only 2 years old, named Rosalia Lombardo. The body was preserved in 1920. She died of pneumonia and her body was preserved by a Catholic doctor. Her body was almost completely preserved, with everything from her black hair and blue eyes to her delicate eyelashes clearly visible. Czech Ossuary

The Ossuary is located in Kutna Hora, Central Bohemia, Czech Republic. It is the largest ossuary in Europe. The exterior of the church is a Gothic architectural style, but the interior decorations are all made of human bones.

There is a wax platform made of more than 120 human bones at the entrance of the church. The ceiling is covered with limb bones. The tapestry on the wall is also decorated with human bones. The altar is made of human bones of different sizes. The pattern is inlaid with ribs.

According to records, in the 14th century, the Black Death was raging and so many nearby residents died that the church was filled with bones. Later, there was no more land to bury them, and the church was almost completely surrounded by graves.

In the 15th century, the Bohemian War broke out, resulting in the accumulation of more than 30,000 graves in this small cemetery.

A priest came up with a way. He asked craftsmen to sort the bones into categories, and then use these bones to make all the decorations in the church.

In 1870, a woodcarver named Frantiek Rint was hired by the Schwarzenberg family to build human bones into various patterns.

In his work, he became enthusiastically interested in using human bones to piece together patterns, and even killed people to get new bones, but no one discovered his crime at the time. Japan·Aokigahara

The Aokigahara Sea of ??Trees is located at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. It is a natural forest farm. But what makes Aokigahara world-famous is not its natural scenery, but because many people with suicidal thoughts choose to end their lives here.

So, it is also known as the "Suicide Forest" ".

It is said that before the war, many poor families would choose to leave their children or elderly people in this sea of ????Aokigahara trees and let them fend for themselves.

There are also tourists who pass by here and break into the forest to take pictures out of curiosity, but in the end they find that their companions are missing and there has been no news since.

Geological data shows that Aokiyuan is rich in iron ore and belongs to the magma zone where Mount Fuji erupted. The magnetic field of the volcanic lava prevents the compass from pointing normally. Altitude and air pressure are also constantly changing, making it easy for people to lose their sense of direction.

Most of the young people who choose to commit suicide here hang themselves. The forest is full of corpses and suicide tools, such as nooses.

The issue of suicide has attracted nationwide attention in Japan, and there are also slogans about cherishing life in the forest.

“Think about your family!”, “Life is precious, please think twice before you act!”.

Edinburgh, UK

Edinburgh is a city that has witnessed many bloody events, including murder, plague, torture, body snatchers and other horrific elements.

It is said that tens of thousands of undead wander around every corner of the city every day.

Mary King Street is an underground street in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland, England. It was an underground street in a slum settlement in the 16th century. It was closed in 1645 due to the outbreak of the Black Death, and has since left countless haunted legends.

Edinburgh Castle has a history of 900 years and has witnessed many sufferings and bloody wars. It was once a place of execution and was once occupied by the British. On the walls of the castle dungeon, there are still traces of finger marks scratched on the walls by French prisoners.

A team of nine researchers and more than 200 public representatives explored the castle's inner chambers and secret passages, looking for signs of alleged hauntings.

According to participants, every day spent at Edinburgh Castle, they would see illusive shadows, experience sudden drops in temperature, and feel as if something was pulling on their clothes.

This is the favorite city for ghost hunters. The mysterious and weird castle, the "ghost hunting tour" led by a senior local tour guide, will definitely satisfy your desire for excitement. !Crescent Hotel, USA

The Crescent Hotel is located in the small town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, USA. It is a holy place for paranormal enthusiasts, but in fact it is a luxury spa resort hotel.

It is said that during the construction of the hotel, a carpenter fell to his death in the area of ??Room 218, but no one came to claim his body.

Since then, people have continued to say that they saw "Mike" wandering around the place where he fell to death at night.

When the Crescent Hotel closed down, it lay idle for a long time until 1908, when it was reopened as the Crescent Youth Academy and Conservatoire. Rumor has it that a female student fell to her death from the roof of a building.

At that time, a TV program specially found a group photo of students who studied here, and the photo was extremely weird: a group of girls in white, all with no lower bodies.

In the 1930s, a doctor named Norman Baker bought this place and used it as an anti-cancer hospital. In the name of treating and researching cancer, he performed various perversions on his patients. During the experiment, hundreds of patients died tragically from the "treatment".

To this day, the rumors of "ghost collisions" in hotels are still flourishing, and the Crescent Hotel has also prospered as a result, and has made hauntings a feature of the hotel.

The hotel has even established a guest ghost report on its official website, which contains many ghost photos of guests. Mexico·Isle of the Dolls

The Island of the Dolls is located on Lake Teshuilo between the south of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and Xochimilco. It is an extremely strange place.

In 1951, a gardener named Julianne on the island saw a little girl accidentally drowning one day. He quickly went into the water to save the girl, but he still failed to save the little girl's life.

Every night when he was sleeping, he could hear the little girl’s painful cry for help. He felt guilty and afraid, so he prayed for God’s help.

For several days, the gardener caught old dolls while fishing in the canal. He believed that this was a decree from the underworld, and he wanted to use the dolls to soothe the little girl's soul.

From then on, he continued to collect old dolls and hung them on his tree, eventually hanging more and more dolls.

Despite this, the gardener did not get a "good death". In 2001, the gardener was found drowned in the same river by his family. In 2011, his nephew was also found dead in the river where the little girl drowned 50 years ago.

There are more than a thousand "ghost dolls" on the island, some of which look very much like real children. Many tourists will feel that they are always being watched, which makes people's skin crawl and creepy.

Fantasy hunters, please be sure to bring a gift before going to the island. Otherwise, the curse will be with you.
