TOP 10 Most Terrifying Places on Earth :
10. Riddle House :
The Riddle House in Palm Beach County, Florida, was originally a funeral parlor. Joseph, one of Riddle’s former employees, committed suicide by hanging himself in the attic of the house. Joseph, for whatever reason, hated men, and displays this hatred by attacking men who enter the attic. One man had a lid flung at his head, and men are now no longer allowed in the attic. Other places in the house are haunted as well, with furniture being frequently moved.
9. Helltown :
The Northern part of Summit County in Ohio is known by the eerily blunt moniker, Helltown. The steep Stanford Road drop off, immediately followed by a dead end, is aptly named The End of the World. If you get stuck at this dead end for too long, according to ghost story enthusiasts, you may meet your end at the hands of many members of the endless parade of freaks patrolling the woods.
8. Stull Cemetery :
Stull, Kansas, is a tiny, unincorporated town in Bumfuck, Nowhere- er, pardon, Douglas County. In the early 20th century, two tragedies rocked the tiny settlement (please observe, these are not legend or folklore, but fact). First, a father finished burning a farm field, only to find the charred corpse of his young son in the aftermath. The second incident to occur was a man went missing, and was later found hanged from a tree.
7. The Ridges :
Athens, Ohio, is listed as the 13th most haunted place in the world, as per the British Society for Psychical Research. The most famous story, however is that of a 54 year old female patient who ran away and was missing for 6 weeks. She was found dead in an unused ward. She had taken off all of her clothes, neatly folded them, and laid down on the cold concrete where she subsequently died. Through a combination of decomposition and sun exposure, her corpse left a permanent stain on the floor, which is still visible today. Her spirit now haunts the abandoned ward.
6. Byberry Mental Asylum :
The Philadelphia State Hospital at Byberry, or known simply as Byberry, was the poster image for patient maltreatment. The terrifying aspect of this location isn’t so much it’s hauntings or the unsavory characters that lurked after dark. The terror here comes from the facts of the how the hospital was run. The staff was abusive, and frequently exploited and harassed patients. One patient had a tooth pulled without Novocaine, while another killed and dismembered a female patient.
5. Leap Castle :
While this Irish castle is perhaps the most popular location featured on the list, it is worth recapping the long and often gruesome history. The castle is rumored to be haunted by a vast number of spirits, including a violent, hunched beast known only as the Elemental. It is most recognizable by the accompanying smell of rotting flesh and sulphur. While renovating the castle, workers discover an oubliette, which is a dungeon accessible only through a ceiling hatch, into which prisoners are thrown, then forgotten and left to die.
4. Shades of Death Road :
This New Jersey road winds through 7 miles of countryside. Gruesome history and spooky name aside, you have much to fear along this byway. This lake is frequently the home of specter-like vapors, and the sky is supposed to be unusually bright, no matter what time of night you are there. As per the name, ghosts of the highwaymens victims roam the area, and they are most frequent in the abandoned cabin across the lake.
3. Humberstone and LaNoria :
These two abandoned mining towns in Chile were recently featured on an episode of the SyFy Channel’s show, Destination Truth. It is rumored that the dead of the La Noria cemetery rise at night and walk around the town, and ghostly images frequently show up in photographs in Humberstone. These towns are so terrifying, the residents of nearby Iquique refuse to enter them. The former residents never left, and can be seen walking around, and children have been heard playing.
2. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum :
Welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, home of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. This former high school was converted, in 1975, to Security Prison 21 by the Khmer Rouge. The prison was used as a base to torture and murder prisoners. Many prisoners were tortured and tricked into naming their family and associates, who were them also arrested, tortured and murdered. The ghosts of the estimated 17,000 victims of Tuol Sleng continue to roam the halls, and odd happenings around the place are often attributed to them.
1. The Mines of Paris :
The seemingly infinite tunnels that run below the streets of Paris should not be confused with the Catacombs of Paris, the famous underground ossuary.
