5 places around the world that make your blood run cold
There are places on the planet that make your blood run cold. Some locations are kept in complete secrecy, but that's exactly what attracts tourists.
OBOZREVATEL has collected the most mystical places in the world that every thrill-seeker dreams of visiting.
Lake of Skeletons - India
In 1942, a terrible discovery was made in an Indian lake, namely 500 skeletons. Witnesses believe that the remains belong to Japanese soldiers who were killed by the British. Scientists found out that the skeletons were there in 850 AD. They managed to survive in good condition due to the thin air and low temperature.
The study of the archaeological phenomenon has been going on for decades. Some scientists believe that people died because of a huge hailstorm. Deep cracks were found on the skulls, meaning that the blows were inflicted from above.
Area 51 - USA
The US government has always denied rumors about Area 51. It is currently the most secretive military base on the planet, located 135 kilometers from the city of Las Vegas. It is used to test new military developments. Some believe that the facility is located on the site of an alien ship crash, which is why it is so closely guarded.
This mystery gave rise to many theories about aliens. Residents of the United States even wanted to storm the base and find out why the authorities were hiding this object. Many curious tourists tried to get there, but nothing worked out.
Chillingham Castle - England
Chillingham Castle is the oldest "haunted house" in the world. The negative energy here arose due to the fact that captured Englishmen were tortured in the dungeons. The rooms with the remains of prisoners and an eerie atmosphere prevail on the territory of Chillingham Castle. It is considered one of the most terrifying and mysterious architectural structures in the world. It is said that the presence of tortured people is felt here, and at night you can hear death cries.
Catacombs - Czech Republic
There are passages in Jihlava, Czech Republic, that were dug in the Middle Ages. The underground corridors are 25 kilometers long and run 12 meters deep.
At night, organ music can be heard here. Scientists did not believe it until they sent an expedition. Later, they found out that the organ does sound here. Thus, the catacombs seem to hide secrets that science cannot solve. Psychologists then assessed the members of the expedition, but no abnormalities were found.
Aokigahara Forest - Japan
100 lifeless bodies are found in the Aokigahara Forest, the second place in the world in terms of suicides, every year.
There are legends that demons live in the forest. The police have even set up signs, "Life is a precious gift from your parents" and "Consult the police before you die!" When the foresters find a corpse, they have to take it to the local station themselves. Tourists also often come here.
