5 scariest places in the world

5. Aokigahara Forest in Japan

 For all that it takes, you wouldn't want to go hunting or go on a safari in this creepy, creepy woodland. At the base of mount Fiji in Japan lies the Aokigahara woodland. It’s known to be the home of as many as 500 suicides. With the dead bodies scattered around, it has well earned its reputation of being so creepy and mysterious. Suicide in Japan is a serious vice and Aokigahara has risen to the occasion as hundreds of Japanese people have gone there to take their own lives.

Besides bodies and homemade nooses, the area is littered with signs displaying such uplifting messages like "Life is a precious thing! Please reconsider!" or "Think of your family!” Ghost encounters of the wandering dead are said to be often encountered more than just frequently as well as many ghost photos. Recently, people found out that lots of the dead people in Aokigahara had cash and jewelry on them and thus began the scavenging of the dead people of this terrifying forest. As if a dark forest full of hanged corpses wasn’t enough!

4. Stull Cemetery

This place could as well be one of the gate-ways to hell. Stull is in the city of Kansas, the U.S. In the early 20^th century, there were two weird happenings in this tiny town. A man after burning a farm field, found the charred corpse of his son. The second incident occurred when a man went missing and was later found hanged from a tree.
The Stull cemetery is so haunted that people believe it goes into the realm of the diabolical. The devil is believed to hold court there with his worshippers. The place is supposed to be so unholy, in fact, that some claim Pope John Paul II refused to allow his plane to fly over eastern Kansas, on his way to an appearance in Colorado.

3. Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, Oswiecim, Poland

This death camp was in operation from May 1940 till the Soviet soldiers dismantled it in January 1945. An estimated 2.5 million people were killed in gas chambers during these times. The killings took place in the underground chambers and the bodies were carried to five crematoria ovens on an electrically operated lift. Before cremation, gold teeth, jewelry, and other valuables were removed from the corpses. Captured Jews, known as “sonderkommandos” were forced to work the crematoria under SS supervision.
Today, there is an overwhelming sense of foreboding and melancholy in what used to be Auschwitz-Birkenau; visitors have been known to break down in tears for no apparent reason and many have to abandon their tour groups without ever completing the tour. Visitors are struck not only by the horrific memory of the place, but also by the effect it has on the present day: birds still refuse to sing in the trees surrounding the death camps and there is little evidence of a thriving natural environment anywhere nearby. The silence, as they saw, is deafening, even after all these years. One visitor report that someone or something tugged on her clothes and she heard a voice whispering to her but could not make out anything but one or two words." Please and leave"! It could as well be the most haunted place on Earth.

2. Poveglia Island

Poveglia Island is a small island near Venice in Italy. The history of this island is as intriguing as it is freaky; the island is believed to be haunted and no tourists are allowed to go there. Those ghost hunters that have been allowed have left the island terrified. When the plague hit Italy the island was the place where dead bodies and those suffering from plague were dumped. Centuries after that a mad doctor built a hospital and used people for experiments and in many cases tortured his patients. This hospital still stands there. With all those tragic events it is no wonder that the Poveglia Island is considered one of the scariest places on Earth.

1.      Coliseum, Rome, Italy

In the pits beneath the Coliseum, gladiators waited to fight, prisoners waited to die, and average Romans placed bets on the outcomes of myriad competitions. Such a fabric of life can’t help but wrap itself around the pillars and posts that make up the foundation of this ancient charnel house, and it is no surprise that many reports of ghostly activity have been associated with the Coliseum over the years.

 Tour guides and visitors alike have reported cold spots, being touched or pushed, hearing indiscernible words whispered into their ears; security guards with the unenviable task of securing the ancient edifice have reported hearing the sounds of swords clashing, of weeping in the more remote areas, and, oddly enough most disconcerting, the sound of ghostly animal noises such as the roars of lions and elephants. Ghostly citizens have been seen among the seats of the Coliseum, and the sight of a Roman soldier standing guard, silhouetted against the night sky, is a common one.
