Hi!
When we talk of scary.. first thing which comes in our mind is... GHOSTS!! or something related to it
so i'm going to post about....
Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. It probably has something to do with all the dead bodies scattered around.
More than 500 people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s
The density of the trees is so intense that you can wander in pitch black darkness during the day. Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees and an absence of wildlife, the forest is also known for being extremely quiet. Just a dark forest where you can hear a pin drop..
The forest has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology and is the second most popular place for suicides in the world (right after the Golden Gate Bridge). Almost 100 people a year wander in the forest never to return again. If you ever plan on visiting, then don’t be surprised to run into a few as Japanese authorities have a hard time finding and removing all those bodies. For years the corpses just stayed there and rotted away, meaning the forest is scattered with human skulls and bones.
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!"

6 Scariest Places on earth ( we definitely wouldn't want to spend the night in )…
If you ever walked through a cemetery at midnight (yes I know, who does that?!) – then you might have felt a feeling of fear and unease. (now whether you believe in ghosts or not.) Your common sense tells you that there is nothing to be scared of, yet deep inside, you almost expect a skeleton to emerge from the grave, grab you by the ankles- and drag you down into the underworld.It’s just one of those things. People are intrigued by death, who doesn't like a good Horror movie, but we are also programmed to run away from it.
And there are some places in which none of us would want to spend a night. These places have well earned their reputations as being so creepy, tragic or mysterious (or all three) that they definitely qualify as "haunted."
Number 6!!
Hunedoara (Hunyad) Castle – (Transylvania)
Over 13 storeys high, Hunedorea Castle is not just an intimidating construction, it’s also a place were some very disturbing events took place. When entering the castle yard you will immediately notice a well that is over 30 meter deep. According to the legend, this fountain was dug by twelve Turkish prisoners to whom liberty was promised if they reached water. After 15 years they completed the well, but their captors did not keep their promise and chopped of their heads instead. It is said that the inscription on a wall of the well means “you have water, but no soul”. It is also the place where the legendary warlord Vladimir the Impaler learned his sadistic hobby. Thousands of people were impaled in the castle and after being imprisoned by János Hunyadi, the crazed warlord couldn’t stop his sadistic urge, as he started impaling the rats in his prison cell instead. Yes Vladimir was pure evil incarnated and by drinking the blood of his victims he sought to harness the power of the devil itself.
Mediums say there is an extremely powerful evil presence that resides here and which has manifested itself in every nook and cranny of the Castle. Numerous exorcist rituals have taken place here- but the dark powers of the castle are too strong to banish- or even do battle with, according to Gypsy witches who took place in these rituals. Yup… definitely a place, I don’t want to spend the night.
Number 5!!
Aokigahara Forest- (Mount Fuji-Japan)
Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. It probably has something to do with all the dead bodies scattered around.

Complicating matters further is compasses going apeshit by high concentrations of magnetic iron in the area’s volcanic soil! Unless this forest has a pot of Leprechaun gold and I have GPS coordinates, I wouldn’t go near this place!
Number 4!!
Abandoned Takakanonuma Amusement Park - (Japan)
What makes this abandoned amusement park so frightening is the amount of mystery that surrounds it. It’s literally surrounded in a thick cloud of mist that swallows the park entirely, making it the ideal location for anyone with a Halloween mask to scare the living crap out of anyone foolish enough to set foot in that place.
Disney Land meets Silent Hill in this twisted place
Built in 1973, the park’s first attempt at bringing fun family entertainment lasted only two years. While never officially confirmed, it was rumoured to be closed due to a number of mysterious death’s inside the park. Perhaps the park was repaired, or maybe it was long enough for people to forget the bizarre freak accidents, but the park reopened in 1986. This time it only stayed open for a single year, again mysterious death’s were rumoured to be the cause.Today, the sprawling hills and trees of the surrounding forests seem to have taken over the park, and its grounds are littered with the remnants of a failed run as a theme park. Roller coasters are still in place and their tracks sweep through the evergreens, but no one has been here for over a decade. Although adventurous travellers or Horror movie directors- may be tempted to seek out this Disney Land from hell, the recent nuclear meltdown at Fukushima keeps a prohibitive level of radiation in the area.
Of course the lethal freak accidents are just rumours, but think about what that park must have cost? There has to be a pretty damn good reason to just pack up and leave it totally abandoned like that, right? What’s also very creepy is that there is no official information about the place… at all. It’s not on any map…almost like it never existed. A whole amusement park vanishing, without David Copperfiel around, now that is plenty of reason for concern…
Number 3!!
“La isla de la Muñecas” or “The Island of Dolls”
If you ever watched “The River”, then you know where they got their inspiration from for the creepy baby tree scene. This bizarre- and frightening place is located within an extensive group of canals, south of Mexico City. That sounds like a beautiful holiday destination right? It’s not… this strange place is actually the opposite of beautiful. The island is totally abandoned and the few people who travelled there descibe it as dark, silent with a feeling of chill.
What doesn’t help this place becoming a popular travel destination is the fact that almost every single tree is decorated with deformed and mutilated dolls. The dolls almost seem evil and I seriously wonder where one would buy such creepy dolls, other than the Michael Jackson estate auction. As you walk the island, it supposedly feels like you are being watched at all times
Scared yet? Well of course creepy toys aren’t enough to make this a candidate for scariest place in the world. You guessed it, the island is supposedly haunted!
Seriously…
Even though the island is totally abandoned, over 50 years ago, a man named Don Julian Santana left his wife and kids and moved there to live the rest of his life alone. When he was living there, the body of a dead little girl came floating up in one of the canals. Don Julian thought he had become haunted by her spirit. He began to collect dolls and decorate the island with them. He would trade vegetables and fruits in exchange for any dolls. The dolls were believed to be used by Don Julian as a shrine for the spirit that haunted him. Over the 50 years that he lived there, he continuously collected dolls and decorated them all over the island, until he died.
Some natives of Mexico believe that Don Julian went crazy. They think that Don Julian would throw the dolls into the canals and save them as if they were real babies. His family said this was not true. They say it was his way of coping with the haunting of the little girl.
In 2001, Don Julian was found dead by his nephew. He found him in the same canal that Don Julian supposedly found the little girl. After his death, tourists have said that they heard dolls whispering as they passed them. People have become so superstitious with this island that they believe you must bring a gift to the island for the dolls in order to ease the spirits.
This was an easy pick for one of the most scary places in the world. If you ever go here- you better pray on a stack of bibles that the guy operating the boat doesn’t leave.
Number 2!!
Winchester Mystery House
In San Jose there is this house. It is a gigantic, sprawling 160-room complex designed like a maze, with mile-long hallways, secret passages, dead ends, doors opening to blank walls and staircases leading to the ceiling.
It's the work of Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune. In the late 19th century, deeply saddened over the death of her husband and daughter, she visited a Boston medium who told her she was haunted by the spirits of all the victims of Winchester rifles. She needed to make peace with them by... always be building a house. As in, never stop building a house, or else she will die. What a nice thing to say to someone who has just lost her family. There is no way this could end with Sarah building a real life version of the Addams Family household.In 1884, Winchester started construction of her new San Jose mansion, which has gone on non-stop for 38 years right until her death. Despite modern contractors taking about that much time to put in the
wooden paneling in your kitchen, the Winchester mansion eventually grew so big you could, in all seriousness,
wooden paneling in your kitchen, the Winchester mansion eventually grew so big you could, in all seriousness,
get lost in it. And getting lost was the idea, the crazy twists and turns and dead ends were intended to confuse the ghosts.
Sarah was kind of a jerk like that.But pissing off vengeful spirits was just one of the many architectural choices for the mansion.
The entire Winchester Mystery House was decorated with a constant spiderweb motif--which Sarah believed had some spiritual meaning--and everything from the hooks on the walls to candle holders has been arranged around the number 13, supposedly for good luck.
Yeah... for someone trying to free herself from ghosts, Winchester did everything but sacrifice a baby goat to Satan to assure her house will be haunted.
Number 1!!
Matsuo Ghost Mine

They package that up and release it on people who accidentally tune in to The Big Bang Theory.

"Ventured into village, was ripped apart by otherworldly creatures. Pretty standard small town experience."

This is exactly the type of place where we'd go looking for our supposedly dead wife.
Matsuo Kouzan in northern Japan used to be the biggest sulfur mine in the Far East, but it closed in 1972. Today, the only things that remain of it are the abandoned apartment complexes that were used by the mine's workers, cut off from the rest of the world high in the mountains. Those abandoned buildings, however, are not what make the Matsuo mine truly creepy -- it's the fact that you can't even see them through the ghostly mist that envelops the place like an ethereal death shroud.At one time 15,000 people lived here. Now it's deserted. It seems that despite having been closed down, the Matsuo mine is still pretty operational, though instead of sulfur it now produces a tingling feeling of dread clawing out from deep within your immortal soul.

It has become famous among urban explorers for the ebb and flow of the mist, which is thick enough to completely conceal the entire makeshift town where the mine's workforce once lived. We're talking about a giant complex of 11 four-story buildings just totally disappearing from sight, which is pretty disconcerting when David Copperfield isn't involved.Some people have spent up to an hour simply trying to locate the town while wandering through the mist, and towns are generally things that stand out in the middle of an empty goddamn mountaintop. Once you finally find the place, though, it's just a typical abandoned town in a secluded region surrounded by inexplicable terror mist.
michaeljohngrist"Ventured into village, was ripped apart by otherworldly creatures. Pretty standard small town experience."
The fact that the Matsuo mineworker town used to have an acid river nearby just ratchets up the horror level, considering that means the only other available liquid for bathing and drinking would've been the blood of the fallen. And blood won't eat through your clothes, so ...
