If you’re looking for strong emotions, you’re always ready to listen to creepy legends and put your psyche to the test, Incrível.club presents you with some of the most terrifying tourist places.

Bodie is a small town in Southern California. In 1876, when a large gold reserve was discovered, the site grew rapidly. Prospectors, crooks, bandits and prostitutes began to move there. The city has become a typical western movie scene: robberies, murders, betrayals and violence. The inhabitants spent all the gold they panned in one night.

When the gold reserves ran out, the inhabitants left the city, until there was nobody left. In 1962, the place was declared a historic park and tourist destination. People can only visit it in summer. In winter, the roads to Bodie are washed out by the rains. There you can see 19th century buildings, dusty furniture, abandoned items and hear stories of local atrocities.

This pub is on Broadwick Street in London. This is where the cholera outbreak took place that killed 500 people in 1854. The cause of death was the pumping of contaminated water from the pub.

The Doctor. John Snow was the one who identified the infection. He recommended shutting down the water pump and personally ripped off its handle, saving hundreds of people. His personal research served as an impetus for the development of epidemiology. By the way, this pump with the torn handle has been there ever since and the same pub has been renamed in honor of the doctor.

In the city of Gomantong, Malaysia, there is a crack that leads to a complicated system of caves popularly called “caves of horrors”. This is because visiting this place is not much fun for people with fragile nerves.

Thousands of bats nest in the damp ceilings, the walls and floors are covered with cockroaches, insects, rats and snakes. Here reigns a dense smell of ammonia and the waste deposits of these creatures are just a few meters away. The caves have bridges that you can cross to explore the place. Of course, if you have the stomach for it.

The Mummies of Guanajuato are a collection of 111 naturally mummified bodies, which are on display in the Mexican city of Guanajuato.

The bodies were exhumed in the period from 1833 to 1958, when there were laws regarding the payment of a tax to the cemetery, for their dead. When relatives stopped paying, the bodies were dug up. The soil and air in this place are very dry, which contributes to an excellent mummification of the bodies. They did not rot and the exhumed corpses were placed in a common grave. It didn’t take long for the place to become a tourist attraction — a rather shady one.

Trenton Psychiatric Hospital was founded in 1848 and was the first state-owned mental hospital in New Jersey, USA. But in 1907, William Cotton (pictured left) became the director of the clinic, and since then a complete horror has begun.

Cotton believed that psychiatric problems were caused by infections and could be resolved by removing infected body parts. As a result, he performed hundreds of surgeries on patients. Furthermore, he claimed the effectiveness of his method in 85% of cases, but in reality, most patients simply died. Today, anyone who wants to can visit the abandoned clinic. However, considering its history, few people dare to enter.

The Vrolik museum at the University of Amsterdam is a collection of 10 thousand samples of anatomical anomalies of humans and animals, which have a special scientific value.

200 years ago, the museum was a private collection of Professor Gerardus Vrolik (1755-1859) and his son Willem Vrolik (1801-1863). In addition to Willem completing his father’s collection, he wrote work on mutation that significantly contributed to the development of medicine.

The entrance to the museum is open to the public, but only those with a strong stomach dare to visit this exhibition.

St. George’s Basilica, better known as “the basilica of ghosts”, was built in the year 920 in the Czech village of Lukov, by the local duke. The church burned down many times, but was always rebuilt. In 1968, the roof of the building collapsed during a funeral, and after that, people began to believe that it contained ghosts.

For this reason, the building remained closed for a long time. Only in 2012 student Jakub Hadrava used it as a place for his art. He created plaster figures and placed them on pews and aisles, turning the abandoned basilica into a tourist attraction.

This is one of the most mysterious and attractive places in Finland. A stroll through this park feels like a trip into the subconscious of a madman. But Veijo Rönkkönen, the creator of this park, was not a psychopath, but a renowned artist who for 41 years built this place. He created 450 life-size concrete sculptures of both people and animals and placed them in a garden.

The sculptures look downright scary, but they’re impressive. He separated them into different themes and reflects the path of the artist himself. Childhood memories, fragments of modern reality, meetings with people and fantasies, all this can be seen in this amazing park.

Cahills Crossing in Australia is one of the most dangerous crossings in the world. In a small part of the flooded road, more than 120 crocodiles live, waiting for the moment when someone can fall into the water.

Indeed, animals gather to eat fish, the schools of which swim upstream. Every year, dozens of motorists try to cross this stretch of road, but not all of them succeed. Despite the warning signs about the risk of an attack by crocodiles, the passage is very popular with fishermen and tourists. For these, excursions are organized under supervision.
