Many of them appeared as a result of natural cataclysms, and some became the fruit of human activity.
Mystery and mystery, different spirits and ghosts have been attractive at all times. They are relevant today. Let’s name some of them.
The African horn or Afar basin, located in the countries of Somalia and Ethiopia. Geological activity here is such that the earth is constantly moving and shuddering from earthquakes, there is active volcanic activity, abysses are suddenly forming in different places.

There is a place in Turkmenistan called “Gates of Hell”, it’s really scary to be near them. In 1971, as a result of the accident at the drilling station, the gas coming out of the fracture caught fire, which cannot be extinguished to this day.
In New Guinea, there is the city of Port Moresby, where cannibals live. Locals cost nothing to catch and eat a stranger. They don’t like to work, and it’s difficult to find work there, but I always want to eat.
In Italy there is an island of ghosts called Povela. Here in the Middle Ages, they brought the corpses of those who died from the plague. In the 50s of the last century there was a clinic for the mentally ill. Her head doctor was an amateur to carry out various experiments on patients, and then he himself went crazy. He died jumping from a lighthouse.

There are several ghost towns in the world that were once abandoned by residents for various reasons. For example, the city of Centreiliya in the USA became a victim of a fire. Previously, anthracite was mined here, the best grade of coal, which burns very slowly. After coal deposits ignited 50 years ago, they cannot be extinguished until now. As a result, the surface of the land in the city was covered with cracks, spewing acrid smoke. Residents were evacuated. It is assumed that coal in this place will burn for another 250 years.
Aokigahara Forest in Japan is literally covered with the corpses of suicides, who most often either hang themselves or are poisoned. Here voluntarily come those who decided to take their own lives.
