If you’re one of those people who loves a good thrill, you’re going to want to add these places to your must-visit list. Known as some of the scariest destinations in the world, these aren’t for the faint of heart. Definitely bring a fellow thrill-seeker with you if you’re brave enough to visit one.

Without further ado, here are lucky number 13 creepiest places to visit (or not, if you’re a ‘fraidy cat like I am!).

1. Holy Land, Waterbury, Connecticut

   Gosh, what is it about abandoned amusement parks that give me the shivers? Holy Land USA was once a religious theme park, but has been shut down since 1984. Since then, there’s been tons of ghost hunters who have claimed the park emits supernatural powers and contains paranormal activities. Head over and check it out at your own risk!

2. Hashima Island, Japan

   An abandoned island, there are deserted concrete buildings and a surrounding sea wall at Hashima Island, but absolutely no humans. You can sign up for a guided boat tour of the island from Nagasaki, about nine miles from the site. But people believe the site is haunted, so beware!

3. Screaming Tunnel, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

   Legend has it that this tunnel is haunted by the ghost of a young girl who died after being burned to death in the tunnel. There are a few versions to the story, but all of them include the girl screaming inside the tunnel as she died. The tunnel is so terrifying it was used on set during the filming of the 1983 film adaptation of the horror novel The Dead Zone by Stephen King. Eek.

4. Monte Cristo, New South Wales, Australia

   Known as Australia’s most haunted house, it’s said that people died in this house all sorts of odd and scary ways—from a child falling from the stairs to a stable boy being burnt to death. The website even warns “Be prepared to be scared!” That is, if you dare to take a tour.

5. The Island of the Dolls, Mexico

   Nothing is scarier than a creepy baby—well, except when they’re decaying and hanging from the trees, some with severed limbs, of course. There’s a legend that the person who hung the dolls at The Island of the Dolls had initially found the body of a girl who drowned and hung her doll up on a tree as a respect type of thing. He then spent 50 years adding to his collection. He died in 2001, but locals have left the dolls hanging. Some say the dolls are alive—possibly possessed by the girl’s spirit—and move or whisper to each other. That’s not scary at all, right?

6. Willard Asylum, Willard, New York

   This asylum for the chronic insane first opened in 1869 and was able to hold around 4,000 patients, many demented and deformed. Patients came to the asylum in all sorts of frightening ways—one even arrived in a chicken crate. The asylum shut its doors in 1995 and witness around 50,000 deaths in that time, only of which very few were from natural causes. Gulp.

7. Craco, Italy

   Italy is usually a pretty popular (and happy) tourist spot, but not Craco. Known as an abandoned medieval ghost town, the last time any humans were reported in this village was in 1963, and it’s now it claimed to be cursed with evil souls and paranormal activities. Craco isn’t open to the public, unless you sign up for a guided tour.

8. Catacombs of Paris, France

   If you want to bear witness to the remains of more than six million people, be our guest. Though pretty creepy, the Catacombs of Paris is still one of the most highly visited locations in Paris, especially when visitors are looking for an activity to do inside.

9. Stull Cemetery, Kansas

   People literally refer to this cemetery as a “Gateway to Hell” and say that it’s possessed by the devil. It all started in 1974 when a student newspaper article claimed that the devil appeared in the cemetery twice a year: Halloween and the spring equinox. Sounds like a bunch of Hocus Poc—okay, we’re not even going to go there…

10. Helltown, Ohio

    Talk about spooky, Helltown, Ohio is a deserted town that houses a church with with upside-down crosses, an abandoned school bus, and dangerous roads that don’t really lead anywhere. There are a lot of theories about what all these freaky things are for, but you can read about it here because this writer is a little too shook to reiterate it for you.

11. Tower of London, England

    There are several tours you can take at the Tower of London—from “Wicked Women,” where you can meet two of former prisoners of King Henry VIII, to a twilight tour at night where you might discover some secrets of the Tower’s history. People say you might hear voices or see images of ghostly figures while inside.

12. The Myrtles Plantation, Louisiana

    Lots of ghosts are said to haunt this residence, but the biggie is Chloe—a ghost who appeared on a photograph in 1992 taken for fire insurance purposes. See the creepy photo yourself. There’s also other ghosts that were said to be caught on camera—so it’s for sure as haunted as they come. Lucky for your thrill-seeking self, you can stay at the Myrtles Plantation over night! (It’s gonna be a no from me though, thanks).

13. The Death Railway, Thailand

    With a name like “The Death Railway,” you know you’re in for a scare with this one. (Okay, so its real name is the Burma Railway, but even so.) It’s said that when the railway was being constructed, workers died from all kinds of unhygienic conditions, malaria, and other epidemics, and to this day it’s claimed to be haunted by them. Take a walk if you dare!

How scared are you even after reading about these places? Would you dare visit any?
