Mutter Museum

The museum is a cabinet of curiosities - various medical pathologies are exhibited there. It was opened in 1750, but it has been fully operational only since 1858. At first it was a laboratory for the study of anomalies and deformities. Later it was turned into a museum, which is recommended to be visited only by people with a strong nervous system.

• the corpse of a woman who turned into soap in the grave due to the characteristics of the earth in this place;
• abnormally long human intestine - 12.5 m;
• the body of Harry Eastlack - a man whose extra bone began to grow in place of each bruise or wound (he voluntarily bequeathed to transfer himself to the museum after death);

The Museum of Medicine will be of interest not only to those who like to tickle their nerves, but also to those who are truly interested in this field of science, and especially in physiological anomalies.

Almost everything was covered with algae, and the equipment grew into corals. In addition to cars, there are also human remains. Such a post-apocalyptic picture attracts everyone who is bored with everyday life.

It is a set of booths and shops where sorcerers and witches predict fate, “remove” and “induce” damage, “treat” with conspiracies and potions, etc. Also here you can buy various components for the manufacture of magic tools, magic manuals, cards and other attributes for divination, medicinal plants. Mexicans believe in magic, so this market is not just a tourist place for them.

Theleme Abbey

It was founded in the 1920s in Sicily by Aleister Crowley for orgies and named after the utopia in F. Rabelais' book Gargantua and Pantagruel. In an ordinary, at first glance, farmhouse, the followers of a famous occultist gathered and arranged black magic rites, mysteries and orgies.

The main one was the Nightmare Room, where newcomers were initiated: after taking the drug, they had to look at the frescoes of heaven and hell and focus on their sensations. After the death of a famous London dandy from drugs, a scandal arose, and the authorities finally banned the gathering. Now this terrible house lies in ruins, but some terrible frescoes have been preserved in it. There are no official tours here.

Pripyat

This Ukrainian city suffered from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986. The radiation background, which is almost fatal for humans, made it necessary to evacuate all residents. Years later, when it declined, in Pripyat and other settlements The Exclusion Zones began to conduct official tours.

Tourists are attracted by the romance of an abandoned city: empty, crumbling houses, schools and other institutions in which many things remain; yards overgrown with grass and trees, which have practically turned into a forest; rusty rides in the park and swings in the yards. Pripyat, like other ghost towns, is a clear example of what the Earth would look like if humanity disappeared.

House of Winchesters

The house is located in the California city of San Jose and is one of the 10 most creepy and scary places in the world because a curse hangs over it. It was built by Sarah Winchester, the daughter-in-law of the inventor of the famous rifle. After the sudden death of her daughter and husband, she was at a séance, where the spirit of her husband told her that the deaths were the revenge of those killed with a gun. To escape, you need to build a new house, but as soon as the construction is completed, Sarah will die ....

Following this advice, the woman bought an old mansion and over the years rebuilt it, making it more and more like a labyrinth. Construction went on from 1884 to 1922. As a result, a huge number of rooms (160), kitchens (6), windows, including those in the floor (10000), doors (2000) were made in the house. Sarah Winchester died a natural death, but after that, anomalous phenomena began in the house: the doors themselves slammed, the windows opened and closed, the lights went out.

Even if among the tourists there are those who do not believe in ghosts, the house is still dangerous for them: it is large, it is easy to get lost in it, besides, there are many stairs leading to the ceiling, doors behind which are not rooms, but walls, etc. .d. Even without anomalous phenomena, this design is awe-inspiring.

Known for huge stone idols, the origin of which is not known for certain. There are suggestions that they were created by an alien, and not an earthly civilization, because. the Polynesians who inhabited the island did not have such advanced technology to carve such statues.
