There are many places in the world that both attract and frighten with their mystery. People disappear there, things fly there, ghosts appear there. Scientists still cannot really understand these phenomena, either explaining them as mass hallucinations or simply throwing up their hands. Below we will tell you about the 10 most mystical places on the planet.

Arkaim. This is a rather mysterious place. First of all, you need to be able to get here in the right way. According to beliefs, it is not enough to just buy a bus or train ticket to this mystical city. Another aspect is much more important here - will this place want to receive a guest? People come here not just attracted by an interest in antiquity. Quite strange and unusual things happen here. So, you can spend the night on the top of the mountain, where it is quite cold and windy. In this case, a thick sleeping bag will not be needed - the cold will not overcome you anyway. They say that all diseases that lie dormant in the body and sometimes make themselves felt come out in these places and never return to a person. People literally experience withdrawal symptoms after visiting Arkaim. The old life loses all meaning. Anyone who has been here begins to feel renewed, starting a lot from scratch. This ancient mystical city was found by Soviet archaeologists in 1987. It is located at the confluence of the Karaganka and Utyaganka rivers. This is in Chelyabinsk region, south of Magnitogorsk. Among all the archaeological monuments of Russia, this is, without a doubt, the most mysterious. Once upon a time, the ancient Aryans built their fortress here. However, for some unknown reason, they left their home and left, finally burning it. This happened about 4 thousand years ago. But during this time the city practically did not collapse; another Aryan city, Sintashta, looks much worse. According to the plan, Arkaim looks like two rings of defensive structures, inscribed one into the other. There are two circles of dwellings, a central square and again a circular street, in which the flooring was wooden, and there was even a storm drain. The four entrances to Arkaim were oriented to the cardinal points. There is no doubt that the city was built according to a clear plan. After all, all the circular lines here have a single center, where all the radial lines converge. In addition, the city also has a clear orientation by the stars. The fact is that it was not only built, but also lived taking into account astrological aspects. Arkaim is often compared to Stonehenge, but it would be more appropriate to compare it with the City of the Sun by Tommaso Campanella. This philosopher was fond of astrology and dreamed of creating a society that would live according to the laws of the Cosmos. The City of the Sun, which he invented, was to be built in the form of a ring, taking into account astrological calculations. The culture of the found city existed 38-40 centuries ago. This correlates with the theory of the settlement of the ancient Aryans on the planet. Legends of those times say that the white race came to Europe from the continent of Arctida, which sank in the Arctic Ocean. Then the Aryans settled along the Volga and in the Urals, Northern Siberia. From there they moved to India and Persia. Thus, it is Russia that can be considered the cradle of two ancient world religions - Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The Avesta and Vedas came to Iran and India from us. As proof of this, we can cite the Avestan traditions, according to which the prophet Zarathustra was born somewhere in the foothills of the Urals.

Devil's Tower. This place is located in the US state of Wyoming. In fact, it is not a tower at all, but a rock. It consists of stone pillars that seem to be made of bundles. The mountain has the correct shape. It was formed 200 million years ago. For a long time, it seemed to an outside observer that this mountain was of artificial origin. But man could not build it; therefore, it was created by the devil. In size, the Devil's Tower is 2.5 times larger than the Cheops pyramid! No wonder that local population I have always treated this place with trepidation and even fear. In addition, there were rumors that mysterious lights often appeared at the very top of the mountain. A variety of science fiction films are often filmed at Devil's Tower. The most famous of them is Steven Spielberg's film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. People have only climbed to the top of the mountain twice. The first conqueror was a local resident in the 19th century, and the second was rock climber Jack Durrance in 1938. The plane cannot land there, and from the only area suitable for helicopters they are literally torn away by wind currents. Experienced parachutist George Hopkins intended to become the third conqueror of the summit. Although he was able to land successfully, the ropes that were thrown to him from above were damaged due to the impact on the sharp rocks. As a result, Hopkin became a real prisoner of the Devil's Rock. The news of this shook the whole country. Soon several dozen planes were circling over the Tower, dropping down free equipment and food supplies. However, most of the parcels were broken on rocks. Rats became another problem for the parachutist. It turned out that there were quite a lot of them on the top of a smooth rock, inaccessible from below. Every night the rodents became more aggressive and bolder. In the USA, a special committee was even created to save Hopkins. Experienced climber Ernst Field was called to help him along with his assistant. But after only 3 hours of climbing, the climbers were forced to abandon further rescue. Field said that this damn rock was simply too tough for them. This is how it turned out that professionals conquering eight-thousanders turned out to be powerless in front of a rock 390 meters high. Through the press, the same Jack Durrance was found. Within two days he was in place and decided to conquer the peak based on him alone known route. The climbers, led by him, were able to reach the top and lower the unfortunate parachutist from there. Devil's Tower held him captive for a whole week.

White Gods. In the northeast of the Moscow region there is a place called White Gods. It is located in a tract near the village of Vozdvizhenskoye, Sergiev Posad district. As soon as you delve deeper into the deep forest, a regular stone hemisphere appears. Its diameter is 6 meters and its height is 3 meters. I mentioned this place in my notes famous traveler and geographer Semenov-Tyan-Shansky. Legends say that there was a pagan altar here in the 12th-13th centuries. Its layout was somewhat reminiscent of the English Stonehenge. There, by the way, according to some sources, sacrifices were also made to the gods. In the pantheon of ancient gods, good was personified by Belbog. His idols were installed by the Magi on a hill, people prayed to him for protection from Chernobog - the personification of evil. The father of these two gods was Svantevit, the god of gods. Together they made up Triglav, or the triune deity. This was the image of the pagan system of the universe among the Slavs. Our ancient ancestors did not build their settlements just anywhere. A number of conditions had to be met for this to happen. Typically, the Slavs tried to build near river bends so that groundwater, ring structures and geological faults were present. This is evidenced by photographs from space, as well as an analysis of the location of old settlements, churches and monasteries, as well as stories that the mystical properties of nature are manifested in such places.

Hatteras. There are many mysterious and mystical substances in the Atlantic. One of them is Cape Hatteras. It is also called the Southern Cemetery of the Atlantic. The East Coast of the United States is generally quite dangerous for shipping. There are islands here called the Outer Banks or Virginia Dare Dunes. They constantly change their shape and size. This creates difficulties for navigation even in weather with excellent visibility. In addition, there are often storms, fogs and swells. The local "Southern Haze" current and "Gulf Stream soar" make navigation in these waters quite stressful and even deadly. Forecasters say that during a “normal” force 8 storm, the wave height here is as much as 13 meters. The Gulf Stream near the cape flows at a speed of about 70 kilometers per day. The two-metre Diamond Shoals are located 12 miles from the cape. There the famous current collides with the North Atlantic. This leads to the formation of a very surprising phenomenon, observed only in these places. During a storm, the waves collide with a roar, and sand, shells and sea foam fly up in fountains to a height of 30 meters. Few managed to see such a spectacle live and then get out of there. The Cape has many victims. One of the most famous is the American motor ship "Mormakkait". It sank here on October 7, 1954. Another famous case occurred with the lightship Diamond Shoals. It was tightly tied to the bottom with anchors, but strong storms tore it out every time. As a result, the lighthouse ended up being thrown over the dunes into Pamlico Sound. In 1942, he was finally shot from his cannons by a fascist submarine that unexpectedly surfaced here. In general, sandbanks during World War II became a favorite place for German submarines. There, submariners swam, sunbathed and even organized sporting events. And all this is under the very nose of the Americans. After resting, the Germans boarded their boats and continued the hunt for Allied transports. As a result, in this area from January 1942 to 1945, the following were sunk: 31 tankers, 42 transports, 2 passenger ships. The number of small ships is generally difficult to calculate. The Germans themselves lost only 3 submarines here, all in April-June 1942. Cape Terrible at that time became an ally of the Nazis. Those natural factors that hindered American ships only helped the submarines. True, shallow depths posed a danger for the Germans too.

Czech catacombs. In the city of Jihlava, in Czech South Moravia, there are catacombs. These underground structures were created by man. This place has a mystical fame. The passages were dug here back in the Middle Ages. They say that in one of the corridors exactly at midnight they begin to hear the sounds of an organ. Ghosts were repeatedly encountered in the catacombs, and other supernatural phenomena occurred here. Scientists initially rejected all these mystical incidents as unscientific. However, over time, even they were forced to pay attention to the increasing evidence of something wrong happening underground. In 1996, a special archaeological expedition arrived in Jihlava. She made an interesting conclusion - the local catacombs hide secrets that science simply cannot unravel. Scientists have recorded that in the place about which we're talking about In legends, the sounds of the organ are actually heard. Moreover, the underground passage is located at a depth of 10 meters; there is not a single room near it that could accommodate this musical instrument in principle. So there can be no talk of random errors. The eyewitnesses were examined by psychologists who said there were no signs of mass hallucination. But the main sensation told by archaeologists was the existence of a “luminous staircase.” It was discovered in one of the hitherto little-known underground passages. Even the old-timers didn’t know that it even existed. Samples of the material showed that there was no phosphorus in it. Witnesses say that the staircase does not stand out at first glance. However, over time, it begins to emit a mystical reddish-orange light. Even if you turn off the flashlight, the glow will still remain, and its intensity will not decrease.

Coral Castle. This complex includes huge statues and megaliths, whose total weight exceeds 1,100 tons. They are folded here by hand, without the use of any machines. The castle is located in California. The complex has a square tower with two floors. She alone weighs 243 tons. There are also various buildings here, thick walls, and a spiral staircase leading to the underground pool. There is also a map of Florida made of stones, hewn stones, a table created in the shape of a heart, an accurate sundial, and stone Saturn and Mars. The moon, weighing 30 tons, points its horn directly to the North Star. As a result, many interesting objects were located on an area of ​​40 hectares. The author and creator of such an object was Edward Lidskalnins, a Latvian emigrant. Perhaps he was inspired to create the castle by his unrequited love for 16-year-old Agness Skaffs. The architect himself came to Florida in 1920. The mild climate of this place extended his life, because it was in danger due to progressive tuberculosis. Edward was a small man with a height of 152 centimeters and a weight of 45 kilograms. Although outwardly he seemed frail, he built his castle for 20 years alone. To do this, he dragged huge blocks of coral limestone here from the coast, and then created blocks from it. Moreover, he didn’t even have a jackhammer; the Latvian created all his tools from discarded car parts. It is quite difficult to understand now how the construction itself took place. It is unknown how Edward moved and lifted multi-ton blocks. The fact is that the builder was also very secretive, preferring to work at night. The gloomy Edward was extremely reluctant to let guests into his place of work. As soon as an unwanted guest arrived here, the owner stood behind him and stood there silently until the visitor left. One day, an active lawyer from Louisiana decided to build a Villa next door. In response to this, Edward simply moved his entire creation 10 miles south. How he managed it remains a mystery. It is known that the builder hired a large truck for this purpose. Many witnesses saw the car. However, no one saw how Edward himself or the builder loaded anything there or unloaded it back. To astonished questions about how he managed to transport his castle, he answered: “I discovered the secret of the pyramid builders!” In 1952, Lidskalnin died unexpectedly, but not from tuberculosis, but from stomach cancer. After the death of the Latvian, parts of diaries were found that talk about the magnetism of the Earth and the control of the flow of cosmic energy. However, nothing was explained there. A few years after Edward's death, the American Engineering Society decided to conduct an experiment. To do this, they tried to move one of the stone blocks, which Edward never managed to install, with the most powerful bulldozer. The machine turned out to be unable to do this. As a result, the mystery of this entire structure and its movement remained unsolved.

Kyzylkum. Between the Syrdarya and Amu Darya rivers in Central Asia there are a number of anomalous areas that have not yet been explored. Thus, in the central part of Kyzylkum, in its mountains, strange cave drawings. There you can clearly see people in spacesuits and something very reminiscent of spaceships. In addition, UFOs are often observed in these places. A famous incident occurred in November 1990. Then employees of the Zarafshan cooperative "Ldinka", driving at night along the Navoi-Zarafshan road, saw a long forty-meter cylindrical object in the sky. A strong, focused, clearly defined cone-shaped beam descended from it to the ground. An expedition of ufologists found in Zarafshan an interesting woman with supernatural powers. She stated that she is constantly in contact with representatives of an alien civilization. In the spring of 1990, she received information that an unearthly flying object was destroyed in low-Earth orbit, and its remains fell 30-40 kilometers from the city. Only six months passed and in September two local geologists, breaking down drilling profiles, stumbled upon spots of unknown origin. Their analysis showed that they cannot be of earthly origin. However, this information was immediately classified and was never officially confirmed by anyone.

Loch Ness. This Scottish lake has long attracted all lovers of mysticism and mysteries. The reservoir is located in the north of Great Britain, in Scotland. The area of ​​Loch Ness is 56 km², its length is 37 kilometers. The maximum depth of the lake is 230 meters. The lake is part of the Caledonian Canal, which connects the western and east coast Scotland. The fame of this lake was brought by the mysterious large animal Nessie, who supposedly lives in it. Outwardly, it is very reminiscent of a fossil lizard. Scientists estimate that since the creation of the road on the lake shore in 1933, more than 4 thousand evidence of a monster emerging from the waters of the lake has been recorded. It was first seen in the 20th century by the Mackays, owners local hotel. However, there are not only documented stories of eyewitnesses, science also has dozens of, albeit unclear, photographs, there are underwater recordings and even recordings of echo sounders. One or more lizards with a long neck can be seen on them, in whole or in part. Proponents of the existence of the monster cite a film made in 1966 by British aviation employee Tim Dinsdale as proof of their theory. There you can see a huge animal swimming in the water. Military experts only confirmed that the object moving around Loch Ness cannot be an artificial model. This is a living creature moving at a speed of about 16 km/h. It is also believed that the lake area itself is a large anomalous zone. After all, UFOs were often observed here; the most famous evidence dates back to 1971, when alien “irons” flew here. Researchers do not leave the lake alone. So, in the summer of 1992, the entire Loch Ness was carefully scanned using sonar. The results were sensational. Dr. McAndrews' team stated that at least several unusually large living creatures were found under water. These could have been dinosaurs that somehow survived to this day. The lake was also photographed using laser equipment. Researchers said that the lizard living in the waters is unusually smart. Even a submarine was used to search for the monster. In 1969, the Pisiz apparatus, equipped with a sonar, descended under water. Later, the search was continued by the Viperfish boat, and since 1995, the Time Machine submarine also began to take part in the research. An important study was carried out in February 1997 by the military, led by Officer Edwards. They patrolled the water surface and used deep-sea sonars. A deep crevice was found at the bottom of the lake. It turned out that the cave is 9 meters wide, and its maximum depth can reach 250 meters! Researchers want to find out further whether this cave is part of an underwater tunnel connecting the lake with other bodies of water in the neighborhood. To find out, they are going to launch a whole batch of non-toxic dyes into the hole. Individual particles of it will then be searched for in other bodies of water. The lake can be reached from London by train, and from Inverness by bus or car. A whole branched network has been created around Loch Ness tourism infrastructure. There are many hotels and hotels here. You can even pitch a tent, but not on personal land. In summer, the lake warms up enough to swim in. But only Russian tourists dare to do this, and local residents simply take them for crazy.

Moleb triangle. Between Sverdlovsk and Perm regions There is a geoanomalous zone on the bank of the Sylva. This triangle is located opposite the village of Molebki. Discovered it strange place geologist from Perm Emil Bachurin. In the winter of 1983, he found an unusual round footprint in the snow with a diameter of 62 meters. Returning here in the fall of the following year, he saw a hemisphere glowing blue in the forest. Further study of this place showed that there is a strong dowsing anomaly. Large black figures, luminous balls and other bodies were observed in the triangle. At the same time, these objects demonstrated reasonable behavior. They lined up in clear geometric shapes, watched the people exploring them, and flew away when people approached them. In September 1999, the next expedition of the Cosmopoisk group came here. They repeatedly heard strange sounds here. The researchers mention that they heard a running engine. It felt like a car was about to roll out of the forest into the clearing, but it never appeared. And no traces of her were found later. The Moleb triangle is generally quite famous among tourists and ufologists. In the early 90s, so many curious people began to come here that it became simply impossible to do any research here. It has become increasingly mentioned in the press that the Perm anomalous zone has ceased to exist under the massive impact of people. That is why interest in the mysterious triangle has noticeably decreased recently.

Chavinda. This unusual place is located in Mexico. In Chawinda, according to beliefs local residents, there is an “intersection of worlds”. Therefore, no one is surprised that anomalous and mystical incidents occur more often in this area than in other places. In the 1990s, a sensational incident occurred here. Eyewitnesses say it was a moonlit, cloudless night. You didn't even need a flashlight to see what was going on around you. The treasure hunters suddenly heard a horseman approaching them. He was in national costume. The horseman told the frightened Mexicans that he saw them from the top of a distant mountain and rode here in 5 minutes. It was physically impossible! The treasure hunters dropped their tools and fled in panic. When they came to their senses, they naturally doubted what they had seen. The Mexicans soon began searching again. But it turned out that this was just the beginning! Their new cars began to break down, and within just one day they turned into old wrecks. No repair could stop this process. One of the cars was even no longer visible to other drivers on the road. Once she was even rammed by a truck, whose driver watched in amazement as he crashed into an “invisible” car. Such mystical troubles continued until the Mexicans, who had previously believed in nothing, were forced to promise themselves that they would abandon the search for this treasure.

There are many mysterious places on Earth that no one still knows anything about. Various myths and legends are associated with them; anomalous phenomena. Such mysterious places on the planet are created not only by man, but also by nature. Archaeologists and other scientists argue, trying to explain some of the finds, but they cannot give a clear answer to a lot of questions. The same goes for natural phenomena - anomalous and mysterious places defy explanation. One can only guess why these objects were created and what purpose their authors had in mind. What corners globe are considered the most mysterious places planets?

Bermuda and Moleb triangles

The Bermuda Triangle is considered one of the most mysterious, but, as it turns out, this is far from the only place where people disappear.

In the zone Bermuda Triangle There is some force at work that can cause malfunctions in the operation of navigation devices. Tsunamis often originate in this area. It is here that mysterious disappearances of people and equipment are frequent. So, in 1945, five military aircraft disappeared from radar, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

It turns out that on Russian territory, on the border Sverdlovsk region And Perm region, there is another triangle - Molebsky. At the end of the last century, several groups of tourists disappeared in this place. A group of scientists followed in their footsteps. She managed to find out that inexplicable phenomena were occurring in the triangle area, strange glows were observed.

In 1959, an event occurred that still remains a mystery. A group of ten students went to Mount Kholat-Syakhyl, translated from Mansi as “Mountain of Death Row.” In mid-February the group was supposed to return, but fate decided otherwise. Rescuers sent to search for Dyatlov's group could only find mutilated bodies. Until now, no one knows the exact cause of death of the students and cannot say what exactly happened in this place. This story was classified as classified by the government and has not yet been lifted. Since then, the place where the bodies were found began to be called the Dyatlov Pass and it joined the list of the most mysterious places on the planet.

Envainenet Island, located in Kenya, is also included in the list of mysterious corners of the Earth. People disappear here inexplicably. A police record dated 1936 states that a group of ethnographic scientists disappeared on the island. There are also records of how local residents disappeared. These cases are inexplicable - people simply disappeared, leaving home, food, and all personal belongings.

Death Valley

Among the mysterious places on the planet is Death Valley, which received its name in 1930. It was named so because of a strange story that happened in ancient times. The local hunters were missing several dogs and went in search of them. They found them dead. The animals lay as if their breathing had suddenly stopped. There were no plants near the dogs, only bare earth and the corpses of other dead animals and birds. After this story, many expeditions were sent to the valley, but not all of them ended successfully. Since then, more than a hundred people have died in this place under strange circumstances.

Devil's Cemetery, or Glade of Death

Among the most mysterious places on planet Earth, it is worth highlighting the Devil's Cemetery, which is located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. There are different stories associated with this place: there are rumors that the anomalous zone arose as a result of the fall of the Tunguska meteorite. Initially, a hole appeared in the ground, and later animals began to die in this very place, in such numbers that the entire clearing was strewn with bones.

Many research scientists have visited the Devil's Cemetery. They all described this object in the same way. Of course, one could attribute everything that happens here to gas escaping from the bowels of the earth, but something incredible is happening in this place. Approaching the clearing, people noted that all navigation devices began to behave strangely, and the compass needle completely changed direction. According to some reports, more than a hundred people died in one of the most terrible and mysterious places on planet Earth.

Black Bamboo Hollow

In southern China there is a valley where people disappear. It is called the Black Bamboo Hollow and is rightfully considered one of the most mysterious places on the planet. Terrible things happen in this place - people disappear without a trace, and their bodies cannot be found. Accidents often happen here. In 1950, for example, a plane crashed. No technical problems were detected and no distress messages were received from the crew. That same year, according to statistics, about a hundred people went missing. A few years later, the valley absorbed a whole group of geologists.

In 1966, military cartographers who were correcting terrain maps disappeared here. Ten years later, a group of forest rangers disappeared in the ravine. And this is not the last case of mysterious disappearances of people.

Devil's Tower

One of the interesting and mysterious places on the planet is Devil's Tower - a rock in the USA, Wyoming. This is an amazing natural formation with a regular shape, consisting of columns with sharp corners. According to some data, this formation is more than 200 million years old.

The dimensions of the object are several times larger than the Cheops pyramid. From the outside, the rock resembles a man-made structure. Because of its impressive size and regular shape, it attracts the attention of many scientists, and local residents claim that Satan himself created the rock.

Cahokia, or Cahokia, is an ancient Indian city whose ruins are located near Illinois. It shows how ancient civilizations lived: the complex structure and architectural features prove that one and a half thousand years ago the Earth was inhabited by highly developed civilizations. Ancient city included in the list of the most mysterious places on the planet, its photo shows how developed civilization was. A network of terraces, mounds, a huge solar calendar and other amazing architectural objects have been preserved here. To this day, scientists are wondering why 40,000 people left this place and which Indian tribes are the direct descendants of those who once lived here.

The Cahokia Mounds are a favorite destination for tourists: people come here trying to uncover the secrets of the ancient people.

Patomsky crater

In 1949, news of the discovery thundered among scientists. strange object. For many years, scientists avoided this topic, without even trying to explain its origin. It was only in 1971 that several helicopter photographs of this strange phenomenon were taken.

The Patomsky crater is the most mysterious place on the planet. Outwardly similar to a lunar crater. Its height is 40 meters, its depth along the ridge is 86 m, and its base is 180 m.

The crater is a cone-shaped hill consisting of crushed limestone. At the very top there is a funnel of unknown origin. Some scientists suggest that it was formed due to the fall of a meteorite, while others believe that it is of volcanic origin. Several hundred trees grow on the crater itself.

If you look at the crater from top to bottom, you might think that it is a volcano, although they have not appeared on the territory of the Irkutsk region and Yakutia for millions of years. And this crater is quite fresh. It is located on the slope of a hill overgrown with larches. There are no trees on the walls or inside the formation yet. According to some reports, the age of the anomaly is no more than 200 years.

Another mystery of this object is that in the center of the depression there is a semicircular fifteen-meter dome. This should not happen in volcanic craters.

Local residents call this place “the nest of the fiery eagle,” but why is unknown. There are no such anomalies in the world, which is why it is considered the most mysterious place on the planet. The Patomsky crater, according to some scientists, is the site of nuclear tests, since this place is located away from prying eyes.

Chavinda

According to Mexican aborigines, this place is the center of intersection of reality and other worlds. It is here that incredible phenomena occur that are difficult for modern man to understand.

Chavinda is of interest to many treasure hunters. Although to date no treasure has been found there. Seekers attribute their failures to otherworldly forces.

Newgrange

One of the most mysterious and mysterious places planet can be called Newgrange, which is located in Ireland. It is considered the heritage of the Druids. This building is more than five thousand years old. Scientists believe that the corridors with the room located inside are a grave, but for whom it was built is still unknown.

Scientists cannot understand how ancient people were able to build such a perfect structure that could stand for many millennia. Moreover, the structure not only retained its appearance, but also remained waterproof.

Pyramids of Yonaguni

In Japan, near the island of Yonaguni, mysterious underwater pyramids were discovered. They cause a lot of controversy among modern scientists. It is not yet possible to understand whether the structure is a phenomenon, or whether the pyramids were erected by man.

In the course of numerous studies, scientists were able to establish the approximate age of the objects - they are more than 10 thousand years old. If it can be proven that the buildings were erected by an unknown civilization, the entire history of mankind will have to be rewritten.

Nazca geoglyphs

In Peru there is a rocky desert, which is rightfully called one of the mysterious places on the planet. Photos of the Nazca geoglyphs taken from the air are truly amazing: images of birds, animals and people, many geometric shapes and straight lines intersecting at different angles and diverging in all directions - the surface of the plateau is literally streaked with them... Moreover mysterious drawings occupy vast areas.

Historians, archaeologists and other scientists of the world cannot explain their origin. What is this - the legacy of ancient civilizations, traces of the activities of guests from outer space? But what exactly did the authors of these drawings want to express and who were they intended for? According to some ufologists, huge images are guidelines for extraterrestrial civilizations. Some people believe that these are some kind of lunar calendars. In any case, these are not quirks of nature; the origin of the Nazca geoglyphs is clearly not natural. If this is the work of an ancient civilization that once lived on the territory of modern Peru, we can only envy its capabilities, for it was highly developed.

Among the 200 mysterious and enigmatic places on planet Earth, the Giant's Causeway, located in Northern Ireland, stands out. It consists of approximately 40,000 basalt formations in the form of columns resembling steps.

Some believe that these formations are similar to those that form Devil's Tower. If you look at these two objects from above, it may seem that these are not rock formations at all, but stumps from giant trees.

The Giant's Causeway refers to the objects world heritage UNESCO. Every year this place is visited by thousands of tourists from different countries peace.

Goseck circle

An unusual structure called the Goseck Circle was discovered in Germany. It was discovered by accident at the end of the last century while flying over the area on an airplane.

The original appearance of the structure was restored only after a complete reconstruction. Scientists believe that the circle was used to compile a calendar, as well as to conduct astronomical observations. This circle proves that our ancestors also studied space and kept track of time.

Moai

The 10 mysterious places on the planet include the Moai monuments, which are located on Easter Island. This object is known throughout the world for its huge monuments and statues located throughout the island. It is believed that each figure was created ancient civilization in the crater of the local volcano Rano Raraku. About a thousand similar sculptures were discovered on the island, and most of them went under water.

Today, many of the statues have been returned to their platforms. They stand like guards, facing the ocean, reminding guests of the island of the power and level of development of the ancient people.

Richat

On the territory of Mauritania, in the largest desert in the world, the Richat, or Eye of the Sahara, is hidden. This is the most unique a natural phenomenon Proterozoic period. The object is visible from space due to its huge size- in diameter up to 50 km. The structure consists of several ellipsoidal rings formed by sedimentary rocks approximately 500 million years ago.

Darvaza Crater

Among the most terrible, mysterious places on the planet is a place in Turkmenistan, which the local population calls the “Gateway to Hell.” It is located in the Karakum Desert, located near Darvaza. Externally, the crater resembles the entrance to hell. In fact, geological surveys were carried out in this place. In the process, a group of scientists stumbled upon a gas that almost caused the death of a large number of people.

Scientists decided to set it on fire, expecting it to burn for about five days, but the gas crater is still burning to this day.

Stonehenge

All people on the planet know about this place. It attracts with its mystery, mystical beginnings, and legends.

Stonehenge represents megalithic structure about a hundred meters in diameter, located on Salisbury Plain. In this object, the stones are arranged in a circle and are surrounded by an earthen rampart and a ditch. In the very center there is an altar made of sandstone.

Until now, scientists have not been able to determine why exactly this structure was erected and how ancient people used it. But there are suggestions that magical rites were held here or that it was an ancient observatory.

Roraima

On the border of three countries - Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela - there is an unusual place - Mount Roraima. Its summit is not a peak, but a luxurious plateau with an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers. The top is shrouded in light haze and clouds. On the plateau itself there is a picturesque piece wildlife, with waterfalls and unique plants. This is probably how A.K. Doyle imagined his lost World.

The Indians say that Roraima is the trunk of a giant tree that gave birth to all the vegetables and fruits on the planet. Maybe this is one of those trees that were once on Earth and are now encountered by people in the form of rocky formations. Scientists still have a lot to learn about our planet, to unravel a large number of mysteries, although many of them will remain a real mystery forever.

On our beautiful planet, there are places that evoke mystical horror. Many of them are the activities of man himself, like abandoned cities and accident zones, but even more of them were created by nature itself. And to those and other places travel companies offer trips, because man is designed in such a way that he is attracted not only by everything beautiful and interesting, but also by everything scary and mysterious.

The most scary places On the Earth

Manchac Swamp

Such a swamp is located in the American state of Louisiana. An abandoned place with a huge number of alligators, twisted and rotten trees. It emanates mysticism, many tourists see ghosts, guides explain this by the fact that many slaves who once fled from their masters found their death in the swamp. In 1915, a terrible hurricane swept through here, which added more casualties - several villages along with people and animals were washed into the swamp. That's why the swamp is called the place of ghosts. It's especially creepy there at night.

Suicide Forest in Japan

At the foot famous mountain Fuji is home to the dense Aokigahara forest, which attracts suicides. But the fact is that since ancient times this forest was considered the “place of residence” of ghosts, and sick and infirm people were brought here to certain death. These were mostly old people, children and disabled people. Yes, the morals then were such that if a person cannot feed himself, then his place is precisely in this quiet and gloomy forest, full of dark rocky caves. The forest is literally saturated with dark energy, affecting the suffering of the people abandoned here. It’s not for nothing that people who want to commit suicide choose this place.

Not many tourists take the risk of seeing the Aokigahara forest; mostly suicides and rescuers come there to try to find them and talk them out of their fatal mistake. They also install signs with inscriptions about the value of life and loved ones left at home. But it seems that this stops few, since every year more than a hundred corpses are found in the forest, which the looters have already managed to search. And since it is very easy to get lost in the forest, the corpses of marauders are also added to the suicides.

Chernobyl Ukraine

Here the human factor played a tragic role. In 1986, an accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant site. For two days, the city of Pripyat and adjacent to the station settlements were urgently evacuated. People were sure that they were leaving their homes for several days, so they left not only their acquired property, but also their animals. Today, the radiation level has decreased significantly and short excursions are held in the exclusion zone. Tourists are invited to examine the sarcophagus and walk along the streets of the abandoned city. A very painful impression is left by hastily abandoned residential buildings with children's toys, empty kindergartens and schools, to which people will return for a long time, or perhaps never.

Danakil Desert

This is the Ethiopian desert, which is also called “Hell on Earth”. It received this name because of its strange landscape, similar to that of Mars. All this is aggravated by a lack of oxygen, the fetid smell of saturated gases, and scalding air. They are born from the boiling earth and melting stones underfoot. Traveling in fifty-degree heat, suddenly awakening mini-volcanoes, harmful sulfur fumes, warring semi-wild tribes - all this is a great health hazard for thrill-seekers. But this does not stop many, because the African Danakil desert is very beautiful and mysterious.

Babi Yar

Another terrible place in Ukraine due to its tragic events is the Babi Yar tract. Here, during the Second World War, mass executions of the Jewish population of Kyiv were carried out. The German occupiers herded Jews, Gypsies and those who sheltered them here and, according to eyewitnesses of those events, the executions did not stop for several months. Historians claim that more than one hundred thousand people died here. Those tragic events left their mark on the entire area.

Today there is a memorial “Menorah at Babi Yar” and many monuments with a variety of inscriptions. So the site was immortalized in memory of all the innocent victims.

Hell Gate

In 1971, after an accident on a Soviet drilling rig, a 100-meter wide fault was left in Turkmenistan. Gases began to emerge from the crack, which it was decided to set on fire. But no one could calculate their number, and since then a fire has been raging in the well. It can be seen for many kilometers and, it seems, will burn there for a very long time.

Island of Abandoned Dolls

In Mexico, among the many islands, only one is marked with a terrible feature - the Island of the Dolls (La Isla de las Muñecas), the territory of which is hung with forgotten or thrown into the trash dolls. It all started with the death of a girl who drowned in one of the island’s ponds. The guy who witnessed this tragedy kept the doll of the drowned child and hung it on a tree, supposedly in memory of the deceased. Since then, he has constantly found discarded dolls and brought them to the island, and in 2011 he himself drowned in the same lake, shortly before becoming a hermit and the only inhabitant of the island. The toys are mostly broken and mutilated, which is why an eerie and ominous atmosphere reigns throughout the island.

Catacombs of the Capuchins

IN Italian city Palermo contains catacombs with the mummified remains of monks, numbering about five thousand. The last burial here dates back to 1990. Since then, the catacombs have been open to tourists.

Overtown Bridge

The Arch Bridge near the Scottish city of Glasgow became famous not because of its beauty, but because of the strange suicide of dogs that began in the mid-20th century. The mysticism is that every month on the same day dogs jumped from a fifteen-meter bridge. Under the bridge there is a waterfall site with many stones, so almost all the animals died. Those who survived again climbed the bridge and jumped from it.

The Scots explain this behavior of dogs with a legend about how a father threw his son off this bridge and now the ghost of the child calls the dogs to him on the very day he drowned. Most likely, only dogs see the boy’s ghost and rush to his aid.

Scientists explain the fact of the suicide of dogs by the fact that they are all hunting breeds and, walking across the bridge, they see and smell the minks living under the bridge, and just like that, obeying instinct, they die. But there are skeptics who refute this theory, saying that dogs jump from the bridge on a certain day, and not spontaneously. The question remains open, although more and more new versions of strange animal behavior constantly arise. One of which, absolutely incredible, is the opening of a portal site to other worlds. But there is still no solution, and the dogs continue to die.

Paris catacombs

Unlike the Italian catacombs, the Parisian ones are much larger and famous throughout the world. They are a chain of winding tunnels with many caves and descents. The length of the catacombs is about 300 kilometers, they pass under the whole of Paris. According to experts, more than 6 million people are buried here.

Despite the fact that such places have a negative impact on people, hundreds of tourists visit such creepy places in search of thrills.

Despite the fact that abandoned cities and creepy corners of the earth terrify impressionable tourists, hundreds of travelers constantly come to these most terrible places on the planet in search of thrills.

Prague cemetery

One of these terrible places in the world is considered to be the Prague cemetery with 12 thousand ancient tombstones, which operated in the Czech Republic for four centuries. Unknown travelers found their last refuge in this cemetery, but most often wealthy townspeople were buried in luxurious processions. The cemetery area is small, but 100 thousand dead are buried here. It is noteworthy that the older burials were covered with earth, then the new dead were buried on top of them. This is how about 12 tiers were formed: now travelers can observe an eerie picture - the subsiding earth has exposed several upper “floors” with coffins and gravestones.

St. George's Church

St. George's Church is also located in the Czech Republic, in one of the tiny villages: tourists go to the abandoned temple, attracted by the unusual legend of the place. Sometime during the next funeral service, the roof over the church collapsed. The once holy place was decorated by the Czech artist Hadrava with numerous ominous ghost sculptures.

Mexican Island of Abandoned Dolls

The Mexican island of abandoned dolls attracts adrenaline junkies with the exotic nature of forgotten toys. In the middle of the last century, a hermit who settled here began to collect and “resettle” dolls thrown into the trash around the island. About a thousand broken and mutilated toys are tied to trees - many dolls sit on the ground or hang on branches: this is how the hermit decided to perpetuate the memory of a girl who drowned in the bay.

Chapel of Bones

The next terrible place in the world is also impressive - the chapel of bones, built many centuries ago by a Franciscan monk in one of the cities of Portugal. The small chapel contains the remains of five thousand monks. The roof and walls of the tomb are decorated with intricate inscriptions in Latin.

Paris catacombs

The world-famous Parisian catacombs are a winding system of underground tunnels with extensive caves and descents. A communications network stretching up to 300 kilometers lies near Paris: more than 6 million people have found their home here.

Japanese island Hashima

The Japanese island of Hashima is also considered the most mystical place in the world. This abandoned mining town once supplied the country with coal, with quarries and a mine operating in the late 19th century. People came here in the hope of making money: miners densely populated the island with their families. Almost 40 years ago, the enterprise became unprofitable and the coal mines were closed. Now this island has become a popular ghost town among tourists.

Suicide Forest

Jukai, the famous Suicide Forest, is located on one of the Japanese islands and went down in history as a bad place where thousands of people committed suicide. The forest initially enjoyed a bad reputation thanks to ancient legends about ghosts, and since the middle of the last century, suicides have become frequent in these eerie thickets. Going several hundred meters into the forest, along the paths you can find things - shoes, clothes, bags of those who have passed away. Knowing how attractive the place is for people with weak mental health, the authorities installed a warning poster with a helpline number.

Kabayan fire mummies burials

Among the most mystical places in the world are also called the burial places of the fire mummies of Kabayan in the Philippines. These remains are more than seven centuries old: locals believe that the spirits of the mummified deceased still live near the burial sites. A peculiarity of local customs is that mummies were buried in small coffin capsules made of wood, placing the bodies of the deceased in them in the most uncomfortable positions.

Akodessewa Magic Market

At the magic market of Akodessewa, which lies in the center of the capital of Togo, you can see sorcerers who still practice voodoo magic and use terrifying-looking dolls in rituals. Buyers and fans of monstrous artifacts are offered a choice of decorated skulls, magical accessories, potions and medicines, dried monkey heads, hare and chicken feet, various souvenirs and local amulets.

Mental hospital

In the ranking of scary places in the world, tourists are attracted by the old psychiatric hospital in the city of Parma: it was once one of the successful clinics in Italy, but over time the building fell into disrepair. A masterpiece from the object was made by an artist from Brazil, who painted the walls of the hospital with silhouettes of patients. Ghostly figures decorate the building, conveying to rare visitors the eerie atmosphere of an Italian abandoned hospital.

Plague Island

In Italy there is another terrifying attraction - the Plague Island in the Venetian lagoon. Since ancient times, this place has been adapted for the residence of patients who were exiled here from all over the country. More than 16 thousand plague victims are buried here, but locals believe that their souls have not calmed down and still hover over their graves. The island’s gloomy reputation is also supported by legends according to which terrible experiments were performed on the sick.

City of Centralia

Connoisseurs of the horror genre and realistic computer games go to the American city of Centralia for a special experience: it was here that the famous horror film “Silent Hill” was filmed. This town in Pennsylvania is famous for the fact that due to a massive fire, the population almost abandoned the area. The underground fire has not yet been extinguished: the atmosphere of hopelessness is emphasized by particles of ash in the air over empty streets with destroyed houses.

Mountain of crosses

The most mystical places in the world in the last century were replenished with a new attraction - the Mountain of Crosses with ancient Lithuanian crosses represents creepy looking a hill that is not a cemetery at all. According to numerous legends, anyone who places a cross here will receive good luck and change their fate for the better.

Cave in Belize

A cave in Belize attracts tourists with the strange atmosphere of the cult of the ancient Mayans. This unusual archaeological site is located near Tapir Mountain and is famous for its unique cathedral, built in one of the cave halls. Blood sacrifices were made here for terrible deities. The Mayans also believed that it was here that the gates to the underworld opened.

Chowchilla Cemetery

The Peruvian ancient cemetery of Chauchilla was also included in the list of the most terrible places on the planet. The country's landmark is located near the Nazca Plateau, famous for ufologists. The necropolis was discovered by scientists about a century ago. The burial method attracted the attention of archaeologists: the dead were placed in graves, covering their bodies with a special composition. Thanks to ancient recipes, the dead were perfectly preserved: the dry climate of the Peruvian desert also contributed to this.

Snake Island

In Brazil they consider it the creepiest place Snake Island: the area is famous for the presence of a huge number of snakes - here on every square meter of forest land you can find up to six dangerous and poisonous reptiles. Now tourists are prohibited from visiting Queimada Grande due to the risk of attack by huge poisonous reptiles.

Moleb triangle

The Moleb Triangle was included in the ranking of the creepiest places in Russia: this is a remote village in the Perm Territory, where anomalous UFO activity was noticed. Previously, the Mansi lived here, who made sacrifices to their gods on a stone plateau.

Russia also has its own exotic city dead: the small Ossetian village of Dargavs is famous for its richly decorated family crypts.

Overtown Bridge

One of Scotland's bridges, Overtoun, has become notorious for unexplained cases of suicide among dogs. Dozens of dogs threw themselves onto the rocks and died, and the survivors went up to try again.

Hanging coffins of Sagada

The list of the most terrible places on the planet would be incomplete without the hanging coffins of Sagada - original burial structures were built in the forest of one of the villages in the Philippines. Locals bury the dead, hanging them so that the souls of departed ancestors are closer to heaven.

Sanctuary of Tophet

In the Tunisian sanctuary of Tophet, several centuries ago, animals and children were sacrificed: this was a feature of the bloody religion of old Carthage.

Unfinished subway in Cincinnati

The grandiose construction project - the unfinished subway in Cincinnati - amazes with its atmosphere of abandonment. The depot was built at the end of the 19th century, but the line was frozen for economic reasons. Now the depot can be visited several times a year, although diggers from all over the world often visit the unfinished metro on their own.

Horror phenomenon

When talking about mysterious and mysterious places in the world, people usually mention ghosts or semi-legendary stories about the atrocities of the previous owners of certain buildings. Today we will try to highlight those that are not related to the action of ghosts.

Sigmund Freud also identified a special human drive, which he called “Thanatos”. The great psychologist thus explained people’s desire for death and especially dangerous events and activities.

Each reader will be able to name the creepiest place on the planet. Because some people are frightened by local legends, and a glance is enough for all the nightmares to come to life in their imagination. You can't get through others with anything. Therefore, we tried to select anomalous zones that varied in action.

There are 5 of the creepiest places associated with poltergeists, ghosts or tectonic activity. We will talk about objects that may not look entirely remarkable in appearance, but leave an indelible and deep mark for life after visiting.

Winchester House, San Jose, USA

During our virtual tour we will look at the most terrible places in the world. Sampling concerns not only artificial objects created by people, but also unexplained natural phenomena.

The first place we will visit will be an extravagant mansion in California. Today it is a tourist attraction. But this used to be the home of Sarah, the widow of William Winchester. His father invented the famous rifle. He soon died, as did his son and granddaughter.

When the woman had an audience with the medium, he gave her a message from William. According to the deceased, she should have bought a plot of land in San Jose and built a mansion there with a specific layout. It should have many rooms, traps and tricks to confuse the angry ghosts of people killed with hard drives.

She spent her entire multi-million dollar fortune on building this shelter. It has some interesting moments. For example, stairs to the second floor ending in a wall, or doors without rooms. Also, this mansion is thoroughly imbued with the magic number 13. There are so many steps in each of the staircases, in many rooms there are so many windows, there are “a damn dozen” bathrooms in the building.

In total, the estate has more than one hundred and sixty rooms, forty staircases, six kitchens, but only one shower. There are also about two thousand doors, but only four hundred and fifty doorways.

We decided to start our tour with this estate, since it is the most extravagant and unusual. There was even a feature film based on the biography of Sarah Winchester.

Aokigahara Forest

Probably the creepiest place on the planet is the Suicide Forest in Japan. In the original it is called Aokigahara (valley of green trees). This reserve is located at the foot of Mount Fuji. In principle, planting can only be enjoyed in clear sunny weather. The rest of the time she simply breathes doom, dullness and meaninglessness.

Aokigahara is only slightly behind the San Francisco bridge in terms of the number of cases of suicide. Interestingly, the forest has long been considered the abode of evil spirits and demons. Here, until the beginning of the twentieth century, poor families brought old people and children whom they could no longer provide food to die.

Later, around the middle of the last century, many low- and middle-level workers flocked here. Apparently, impressionable Japanese find only this way to escape from the “rat race” of society.

About a hundred suicides are found here every year. Recently, unofficial detachments of marauders have even appeared. They comb the thickets in search of bodies and pick out their pockets and remove jewelry. Thus, the mysterious places of the planet help not only the development of tourism, but also enrich local scammers and thieves.

The Japanese government is providing funds to clean up the bodies. According to eyewitnesses, the most common methods of ending life are drug poisoning and hanging.

Local authorities have taken a number of measures to help as many people as possible avoid this stupid decision. Along the perimeter of the forest there are signs calling on people to come to their senses and a helpline. There are also video cameras directed at many of the paths leading into the thicket. And service personnel working in nearby establishments have already learned to identify potential suicides. They immediately report the information to the police.

It is noteworthy that several books and films have been published in Japan telling about the specifics of this place. And the “Suicide Guide” written by Tsurumi is often found near corpses in the forest.

Overtown Bridge

The darkness of the soul is incomprehensible to another person, and even the most persistent and sane individual can go crazy in the nooks and crannies of inflamed illusions. But what makes some animals resort to suicide is an interesting question.

We continue to look at the scariest places in the world. And next in line is Overtoun Bridge, near the settlement of Milton, in West Dumbartonshire. Since about the middle of the twentieth century, interesting cases have been recorded here. Almost every month at least one dog jumps off a bridge into the water.

Most die immediately, and the survivors return after a while to try again.

It is noteworthy that animals live by instincts, and such deviations are not characteristic of them. That is why commissions came here several times to investigate such an unusual anomaly.

Today there are two versions that highlight the reason. One of them was proposed by ethnographers and folklore collectors, the second by zoologists.

According to the first, a man and a child once came to the bridge. He declared his son a product of satanic forces and threw the baby into the water, and a couple of days later he jumped in himself. Since then, it has become a tradition that the ghost of a boy invites dogs to play. Animals, because of their ability to perceive the subtle world, without suspecting anything, follow the ghost and die.

Scientists have put forward a more rational explanation after months of research. According to their theory, minks are to blame for everything. These rodents live along the banks of the river, and for many years these places simply smelled of them. The dogs, guided by the intensity of the smell, rush to chase the prey and fall from the bridge into the water.

We consider the most creepy places in the world. And no one can fully explain their specificity, otherwise they would cease to be mysterious. Same with the Overtown Bridge.

Even if the reason lies in the minks, why do dogs that survive a fall of fifteen meters come back and rush again? These animals have a very developed memory of places and people who caused them pain.

Jatinga

Thus, it is impossible to hide from some terrestrial anomalies, even if you rise high in the air. For the first time, the English tea planter and plant researcher E. Ji spoke about the unusual phenomenon. He described a strange period at the end of August when large flocks of birds begin to fly into the Jatinga Valley and crash into the ground in a big way.

At first, no one believed him and considered his notes to be fiction. But one orientologist decided to verify the legend. It turned out that the tea grower was telling the truth. Thus, Sengupta became the first scientist to record the unusual August birdfall.

According to this researcher, the birds are in a kind of trance, “like somnambulists.” They rush into the light of the fires and lamps of the local village. If you take an animal that has not fallen to death, it does not resist, but completely refuses food and water. It is noteworthy that after three or four days of madness, the released bird flies away as if nothing had happened.

But creepy places in the world are often perceived ambiguously. Tourists and visiting researchers see them as an anomalous threat, while locals come up with a myth to justify the event. Thus, the aborigines of this valley say that the gods rewarded them with such a “birdfall” for their righteousness. They can collect a bunch of carcasses and use them for food. It turns out to be a kind of “manna from heaven” for an Indian village.

Thelema Abbey, Sicily

Discussing the most terrible places in the world, we return to the creation of human hands. The next attraction we will talk about is a one-story house in the town of Cefalu on the island of Sicily.

It was once acquired by Aleister Crowley, one of the most famous and controversial occultists of the early twentieth century. Here he was going to create the basis for a future civilization, cleansed of Christian darkness and obscurantism.

It was within these walls that Crowley resumed satanic rituals, as well as the practice of witchcraft using narcotic drugs. Thus, the initiation included the simultaneous use of marijuana with heroin and a night of reflection in a special room called the “Chamber of Visions” or “Room of Nightmares.” In this room, the walls are painted with gloomy frescoes depicting different circles of hell and heaven.

The abbey was closed after the famous British aristocrat Raoul Loveday died on its territory. Presumably, he was poisoned by drugs mixed with cat blood. Thus ended the story of a commune living under the slogan “Do whatever you want - that’s the only law.”

There are many creepy abandoned places on the planet, but they only attract crowds of unofficial visitors. Fans of witchcraft and the work of Aleister Crowley come here every year. They strive to touch the ruins in order to receive a powerful energy charge from their idol.

Damn Cemetery. Krasnoyarsk region

There are natural scary places in Russian Federation. We'll start in a remote area in Siberia. In general, ethnologists have collected a lot of materials about the most incredible features and terrible secrets that the taiga keeps. But now we'll talk about what was actually recorded by various groups of researchers in the form of photographs and videos, and not simple stories.

Presumably, the Devil's Cemetery appeared as a result of unusual cosmic activity associated with the fall. According to the recollections of old-timers, one day an object fell from the sky, and a rounded edge formed in the forest. The ground turned black and smoke began to appear from it at times. In summer, no grass grows in this place, only a little moss, and in winter there is no snow.

Any animal that gets inside the devil's circle dies within the next few hours. People, according to eyewitnesses, here experience an inexplicable feeling of melancholy, and as they approach the very edge, irrational fear grows, gradually turning into panic.

Thus, creepy places on Earth can be not just natural, but also of cosmic origin.

Sablinskie caves

Speaking about the creepiest place on the planet, it is especially worth stopping at There are no bloodthirsty monsters, inexplicable and oppressive horror among visitors or satanic symbols. Just a fairly large underground natural formation. For example, the length of one of the catacombs is more than seven kilometers, and the height of the halls is up to five meters.

In Soviet times, the facility was classified, since all sorts of criminal individuals who were outside the law were hiding underground. They called themselves dissidents. There were even about ten different gangs formed. Several people disappeared here every month and are still disappearing. At the same time, all the famous “political” people who were hiding underground have long since left the lost place. Today, according to official data, there is not a single “underground inhabitant” there.

Extreme sports enthusiasts and those who like to visit creepy places in Russia constantly come to Sablinsky Caves. They are not even afraid of the frequent disappearance of curious onlookers.
Scientists see the reason for this anomaly in underground shifting sands and movements of the earth's crust. A group entering one of the tunnels may in a second find itself buried under tons of sand. All this data is based on the stories of gang members who once lived in these caves.

Road of death. Lyubertsy-Lytkarino highway

Let's talk about the mysterious places of the Moscow region. In principle, there are researchers around Moscow anomalous zones There are about a dozen highway sections with an increased risk of fatal accidents.

But the section of the Lyubertsy-Lytkarino highway, near the village of Pekhorka, is considered the most unsafe. If you drive along this road, you can see many wreaths on the trees along the asphalt surface, marking the places where drivers died.

Most of the accidents date from 1990 to 2002. The sudden decrease in mortality after 2003 is explained by the fact that at that time the governor took charge of the “anomaly”. Having previously been a military general, he did not hesitate. In this section, the concrete road surface was replaced with excellent quality asphalt, and four speed bumps were built.

After such preventive measures, the drivers did not have the opportunity to accelerate strongly along the highway.

Skeptics and realists often say that scary places are deadly only for those who neglect common sense and Locals tell a legend that this section became the “road of death” because the covering was laid on top of the old cemetery. So the ghosts of the dead take revenge on unlucky drivers who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Beria's House

We talked about the mysterious places of the Moscow region, but in conclusion I would like to mention another strange building in the capital itself. In Soviet times, this house was perhaps the most terrible place in the area. Passers-by tried to go around the street along the tenth road, and if it was necessary to go along it, they crossed to the opposite side.

What kind of terrible building is this? House of State Security Commissioner Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria. This man was one of the organizers of Stalin's repressions. The building is located in Vspolny Lane. Today its premises are occupied by the Tunisian Embassy.

According to eyewitnesses (local residents and researchers), a couple of times a month at about three o'clock in the morning ghostly sounds can be heard near the house. It is said to be the distinct noise of a powerful motor. An invisible car “drives up” to the doors of the building. You can hear its doors opening and a man's voice saying something. Then the door slams and the car drives away. The entire incident takes about three minutes.

Thus, in this article we talked about creepy places in Russia and the world. We got acquainted with both safe objects that can interest ufologists or teenagers, and with deadly formations that it is better not to approach.

Good luck, dear readers! Travel wisely.
