10. Chernobyl, Ukraine

9. Thelema Abbey, Silicia
Alistair Crowley is probably the most famous occultist in the world. This terrible place, replete with dark pagan frescoes, was assigned the role of the world capital of Satanic orgies. Crowley appeared on the cover of the Beatles album, Sergeant Peper's Lonely Hearts Club. He founded Thelema Abbey, which became a community of free love. Director Kenneth Anger, a follower of Crowley, made a film about the abbey, but later the film mysteriously disappeared. Now the abbey is almost completely destroyed.
8. Dead End Mary King, Edinburgh
In the medieval part of the Old Town in Edinburgh, there are several streets with a hideous and dark past.

A hundred years later, a large building was built at an impasse. For tourists, a dead end was opened in 2003.
7. Winchester House in San Jose, California
There are many myths and prejudices around this colossal construction. Once a fortuneteller predicted the successor to the weapons factory Sarah Winchester that ghosts would haunt her all her life, so she should leave Connecticut and go west and there begin construction of a huge house, which should last her whole life. Construction began in 1884 and did not end until Sarah's death in 1938. Now the house is inhabited by the ghosts of her madness: stairs abutting the ceiling, doors at the height of the middle of the wall, chandeliers and hooks. And even those who do not believe in ghosts claim to have seen or heard something inexplicable in this house. This house ranks seventh in our ranking of the top 10 scariest places on the planet.

4. Easter Island, Chile
