What is it that attracts certain travelers to the scary? Is it the fear factor or the thrill of that spine-tingling sensation?

Whatever the reason, some of us are drawn to spooky places while enjoying more familiar landmarks and landscapes. Fortunately, there is no shortage of spooky places to explore around the world, many of which are historical or entertaining.

Anadolu Agency highlighted an interesting post on its Instagram profile with the "most haunted" places in the world.

Hashima Island Japan

What are the six scariest places in the world: They are "infested by

Hashima Island has a very complicated history, but what is certain about this place is that when the people left, the buildings collapsed and nature flourished.

About 14.5 kilometers from the city of Nagasaki lies this deserted island, without any inhabitants, but with a rich history.

Hashima Island was once important for underwater coal mining, a grim illustration of Japan's rapid industrialization. It is also known as Gunkanjima, meaning warship island, due to its resemblance to a Japanese warship. Hashima actually operated as a coal plant from 1887 to 1974.

Kolmanskop, Namibia

What are the six scariest places in the world: They are "infested by

Kolmanskop is an abandoned town, a so-called ghost town, in the Namib Desert in southern Namibia. It is located a few kilometers inland from the port city of Luderitz.

In 1908, a worker named Zacharias Lewala accidentally found a diamond while working in the area. It was soon determined that there were large quantities of diamonds there, and many German miners soon settled in search of them. Encouraged by the great wealth of diamonds, the inhabitants built a city in the style of German cities of the time. The city had all the facilities and institutions, such as a hospital, dance hall, power station, school, bowling alley, theater and sports hall, casino, as well as the first tram in Africa. The city had a railway connection to Lüderitz. After World War I, the diamond reserves were almost exhausted and the city was finally abandoned in 1954. Some of the abandoned buildings collapsed or were partially buried by sand.

Today, Kolmanskop is a tourist attraction and the most famous ghost town in Namibia. Since it is located in the Sperrgebiet protected area, tourists must have a special permit to enter.

Pripyat, Ukraine

What are the six scariest places in the world: They are "infested by

Pripyat is located in the far north of Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. It is 100 km from the capital Kiev and is located on the Pripyat River of the same name.

It was a town where the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant lived. After the accident in 1986, the city was abandoned within a radius of 30 km. The population before the accident was about 50,000 inhabitants, and now it is a completely empty city. This city, although it had military importance, was accessible to everyone. Nuclear reactors of the time were considered the pride of engineering and progress of the Soviet Union. Although the power plant was to be built only 25 km from Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences insisted that it be built further away from the city, more precisely 100 km from Kiev, in the city of Pripyat.

Bodie, USA

The site was populated in 1876 when gold and silver were discovered in the nearby hills, with the last residents leaving Bodie during the 1940s.

About 200 ruined buildings, including the Methodist church, are today only an attraction for rare tourists.

Craco, Italy

What are the six scariest places in the world: They are "infested by

Have you ever wondered what the Italian ghost town of Craco looks like? Well, you could say – like in a movie. Especially if you’ve seen Mel Gibson’s “The Passion.” The once-grand town of Craco in the southern Italian province of Matera was abandoned at the end of the 20th century.

Today, it is a famous tourist attraction in the south of the country, just waiting to be added to the already crowded list of things to see in Italy.

Although the inhabitants of Craco have long since abandoned their city, the grandeur of this medieval fortress still takes your breath away. Perched at the tip of the Italian “boot,” the once-prosperous city stands atop a 400-meter-high cliff with spectacular views of the river valley.

The brave village survived several invasions, but Craco did not die due to enemy invasion. After several earthquakes and the creation of numerous landslides, the city became unsafe and residents began to evacuate due to natural disasters.

Oradour-Sur-Glane, France

In that place, on June 10, 1944, one of the bloodiest events in France during World War II occurred, when the Nazis killed 642 residents and burned almost everything.

President Charles de Gaulle ordered the site to be left as is, in memory of the victims killed. There is only a museum there.
