the island of dolls. We start with the place perhaps the most horrible of all, it is located in Mexico. Any girl and father would stop liking dolls just by looking at the place where a hermit called Julián Santana Barrera lived. Legend has it that one day the man found a little girl floating in the sea who had no life, he felt devastated and scared to witness such a tragedy, so to scare away the spirit of the girl he decided to place dolls, which he found thrown, hanging from the trees. In 2001 they say they found the dead hermit in the same place where the girl was found.
Since then it has been considered a tourist stop, to contemplate the wide collection of dolls, however people say they feel that they are being observed. Some of the visitors when the man was alive passed through the island to meet it and some gave him their dolls, many came to have the same belief that the hermit helped the crops to be prosperous.
The Old Belchite. It is an old town in Spain, located in Aragon, which is actually the remains left by the Civil War of 1936, where with the passing of time, the buildings have been falling apart. Many people want to meet him but just thinking that a ghost appears or touch a structure and that it goes down, makes them lose their desire. The story goes that after the catastrophe it was not rebuilt, but a new town was created nearby called «Belchite Nuevo», with the same name, by order of the dictator Francisco Franco.
It has been uninhabited for more than 50 years, where those who visit it have experiences that give goosebumps, as there are those who say that it is haunted. The people who can get to know the town are those who go with tourist intentions, since it is not a busy or public place, and the only thing they can witness are unstable infrastructures, deserted streets, strange shadows, even sensations in which they do not feel find alone.
Gunkanjima Island. On the Asian continent there are always legends of extraordinary places, where this island of Japan stands out. It looks like a place from a movie, which although none is immensely large, it is easy to get lost. It was a mining settlement that was inhabited between 1887 and 1974. After the announcement of the closure of the mine, the inhabitants began to leave, leaving the trade to decline until its total bankruptcy and abandonment of the island. They say the last one was in 1974.
The island was left with a lagoon of buildings and structures that have been falling apart, it also has a museum built in the 1960s that, due to the conditions to which it is exposed, is falling apart, since around it there are large parts of its structure, care visits it and is hit with some debris. They say that in homes there are still everyday objects, such as dishes, furniture, appliances, that perhaps at some point you will be able to hear strange sounds of these colliding with something.
The City of Pripyat. Walking through Ukraine you can not miss knowing this ghostly place. It is almost impossible that you have not heard of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, when a nuclear reactor exploded and contaminated the territory with radioactive substances, which forced the citizens to leave. This settlement is a reminder of how little trust citizens have in the government.
The story goes that the impact literally paralyzed time, since the clocks remained static. This city was incredibly beautiful, it came to house more than 40 thousand people, built places of entertainment such as cafes, cultural centers, amusement parks that are still there, full of slag, cobwebs and rust where only ghosts have fun. Since the incident, people have not been allowed to stay there, because the radiation is still present, however, it can be visited if tourists accept the conditions.
Oradour-sur-Glane. Hidden in France, the town is still intact, after one of the most important massacres in history, led by a Nazi criminal. These ruthless people killed most of the inhabitants, women and children were the most wanted. It was not rebuilt on the orders of former French Prime Minister Charles de Gaulle, to remember the evil that ran through the veins of the Nazis. It is a tourist place today, it allows a pleasant, relaxing and surprising walk, because there are even cars there, which are rusty. People say that at night, you can see specters or terrifying spirits.
Kolmanskop. It is a place located in Namibia, a country in southern Africa. It was built for those German miners who loved to search for diamonds. Interestingly, in that ancient times, gems were easy to find and people could have a large amount of money without much effort digging like today. Although they were rich in diamonds, these were devalued little by little after the First World War and because of this the German town became desolate. What is surprising are the homes full of sand, making it a silent, unique and strange place that only the brave can visit. They say that some miners took the diamonds and swallowed them to use them later for their personal use, which was illegal, so they were monitored by cameras.
Humberstone. In Latin America an old town of Chile is located, in the middle of the desert, like the previous one, it is a mining town that bears the name of the engineer James Humberstone. It was a place rich in the compound potassium nitrate, but by circumstance its economy declined. It could be said that it is a semi-ghost town, since a very small number of people live there. A curious fact, the commune is located, in Chile, right on the borders with Peru and Bolivia. You will find that it is a very quiet place with some structures undone by the years, if you hear something you may or may not be an inhabitant.
PortArthur. This town in Tasmania, Australia is perhaps one of the most sinister. It was the home of the worst criminals in the history of Port Arthur, in 1996 a disaster broke out where a single man with mental problems ended with crowds shooting left and right. Although it was a horrible event, it served as a lesson for the government not to allow the use of weapons. Today it has a high tourist entrance, where many of them leave scared because they believe they have heard angry voices, bells, screams or claim to have seen specters.
body. Another old mining town, but the most famous in the United States. It is a spooky place with some buildings in good condition and others devastated. In it there are attractive objects that if he is a brave person he can take it, however, he would have to commit the worst of his life, since the ghosts that live there chase the robbers. It was an active gold mining settlement, which began to decline in the 19th century, and because of this, the workers were no longer satisfied with their profits, so they decided to look elsewhere; Another cause was the climate, since the winters were harsh and the miners died, as well as the insecurity in the excavations.
