There are many places on the planet, when visiting which the soul is shackled by a chilling fear. Sometimes this fear has a mystical inexplicable origin. But sometimes the danger is so real and tangible that it cannot be ignored. But thousands of people seek these places every year. Perhaps their craving is irrational, tours to the most terrible places in the world, filled with horror, are in constant demand.

What attracts tourists to Ukrainian Chernobyl? The terrible dead city of Pripyat is a mute reproach and a reminder of how shaky everything that each of us lives with every day is, how reverently and carefully we need to treat everything around us. Abandoned toys and baby strollers, cemeteries of abandoned equipment, open apartment doors welcome tourists here. And the gloomy, gloomy sarcophagus, hiding the tamed, but unquenched flame of the reactor, seems to be a product of universal evil. Tourists are especially struck by meetings with self-settlers who have returned to the Zone and live next to the rebellious atom.

What attracts people to the terrible catacombs filled with horror, stretching almost 190 km under Paris – all these are the most terrible places in the world?

But all descriptions pale when you see human remains firsthand, laid out like a commodity preparing to be shipped from a warehouse.
