The more we have the opportunity to discover places in the world, the more we realize that it is full of places that really give us the creeps, and not necessarily because they have a macabre history in the background, but simply because of the scary way they look. In this list, we share with you 5 of the most terrifying places around the world!

1. Renz Women’s Penitentiary

This old and abandoned penitentiary can be found outside of Jefferson City in Missouri. It was originally opened back in the 1920s as a prison for men, and with the time it became a women’s penitentiary. During the hit of the Great Flood in 1993, all the inmates had to be evacuated from the building, only leaving it empty ever since then.

The overall building has been completely damaged, and it has been said that it is also home of strong paranormal activity phenomenon even to the point that this prison got named “the most haunted place in Jefferson City” by the Paranormal Research and Investigation Society of Missouri.

2. Rockland Psychiatric Hospital

In general, one could say that psychiatric hospitals have the potential to become quite a scary place when abandoned, but what would you think of a place that is partially abandoned and even haunted and at the same time actively receiving patients?

This is the case of Rockland Psychiatric Hospital, and although the abandoned areas of this hospital are heavily restricted and off-limits, we can’t deny that just seeing a couple of pictures gives us the creeps. In addition, this place is extremely popular with paranormal fans, as some people have claimed to have ghost encounters right here.

3.  Centralia, Pennsylvania

This town has a couple of nicknames, but the one that might catch your attention the might be The Burning Ghost Town. This area is not only popular for being haunted in every corner, but also it has been victim of several fires, toxic gas leak concerns, and deaths-by-sinkhole… no wonder why it is the least populated municipality from Pennsylvania.

In 2016 it was estimated that it had roughly 1,500 residents, the coal town began to lose habitats ever since 1969, seven years after a coal fire set ablaze in the mines below. 

4. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

You’d think going to the beach was all beautiful and harmonious, but if you dare to go a mile off of Oregon’s north shore, you will find the Terrible Tilly. This cute little lighthouse, when looked at from far away seems harmless. However, it has been rumored that it is highly cursed since its construction started during the 1880s.

Its master, Mason, was swept away by the ocean waves and no one ever saw him again. Then again, sometime after the first incident, there was a big shipwreck right next to the Terrible Tally, and along with this ship, the lives of 16 crew members vanished. 

5. Drawbridge, California

Adding another abandoned ghost town to the list, and being the opposite of the first town, this one is not burning but sinking in water. In the beginning, this town was ideal for bootleggers during Prohibition and housed several brothels, as it was quite and far enough away from the urban life, people from the city would come to this town to have a break from their busy lives.

However, these visitors decreased and so the lively ambiance from the town, until the population peaked in 1928, just with 90 houses left. Also due to its location, the town began to sink underwater, leaving some areas virtually uninhabitable.

This brave group of people will unveil over 200 years of mysteries and superstitions, including all kinds of anomalies from UFOs, paranormal activities to a Native American legend of a shape-shifting creature known simply as The Skinwalker.

Background story about Skinwalker

The Skinwalker Ranch also known as the Sherman Ranch, is located in the southeast of Ballard, Utah. This ranch has been strongly attached to several paranormal activities, and people highly believe that this is a place where you could even encounter extraterrestrial life. 

This Ranch gets its formal name from a native legend, people have seen a hyena-like looking creature attacking some of the ranch animals but not as a normal wild animal would do. This creature has been described as ” low to the ground, heavily muscled, weighing perhaps 200 pounds, with curly red hair and a bushy tail.” But the story behind continues…

Among the Indians there was a legend passed through generations, that the bordering ranch is “on the path of the Skinwalker” but what they believed to be this skinwalker creature, was far beyond a hyena-looking animal.

It was said that the Skinwalker was a malicious shape-shifting witch of the Navajo people. It was also said that the skinwalker used to hide out in a place called Dark Canyon, which is located nearby and would come to the Ranch to hunt for some animal lives and in worst cases, humans. 

What makes this creature so horrifying is not only its appearance but also the supernatural abilities that it had, since it’s able to run faster than a car and have the ability to jump high cliffs. They are extremely fast, agile, impossible to catch.

There are times when we find ourselves in certain events or happenings so surprising, that we are not sure if it is our mind that is playing tricks on us, or if we are really encountering a paranormal phenomenon. But thanks to the advanced technology we have today, these phenomena can be captured and shared with the world only to feel that we may not be the only ones who have experienced something similar.

A few years back, a couple of Mexican people from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon experienced something quite unusual. It was a calm night like any other when suddenly these people met a burning figure and it moved as if it seemed to be a person walking.

The figure was so striking that it instantly caught their attention, so they decided to stay at a safe distance, but close enough to capture the strange phenomenon. As the figure moved on the ground, it suddenly began to float in the air until it rose high enough to disappear into the darkness of the night.

You can hardly understand what these people are saying at the moment when the alleged witch takes flight, but there is no doubt that they were totally surprised by what they were looking at..

While some people think this is a very strange figure for a witch, the truth is that these mystical creatures can take different shapes and colors, which is why in past times people used to accuse different animals of being witches.

Also, within the Pagan Witchcraft, one can learn about the Fire Witches, which represent courage, individuality, and power… possibly these people were witnessing the presence of one of these unique witches.

The video lasts a little over 17 seconds, and its quality is not the best but this is enough to leave everyone who dared to watch the recording thinking…You can watch the video yourself, and give your opinion.

The month of October arrives, and everything around us begins to take an eerie, spooky feeling that’s how you know Halloween is approaching.

Some enjoy the trick or treat nights, others prefer binge-watching some good old horror movies or even go to a bar or some costume parties, but if you want to spice things up a bit this year you could consider doing something different, something unique for instance, some rituals?

A ritual can be defined as a practice regularly performed in a definite manner, and nothing sets the perfect mood for it than a Halloween night…

1. Closing stages

This ritual is perfect if you ever felt like leaving behind the past memories such as lovers, possessions or jobs, you want to be reborn, to become better by giving up what you no longer want.

Take a moment, celebrate the cardinal points and the four elements (fire, air, earth, water) then, in a small cauldron, burn a paper that has old habits written on it, habits you want to leave behind. The fire fulfills an expiatory function, and the ashes are buried in the earth along with a seed. It is recommended to do this ritual accompanied.

2. Halloween walk through nature

This ritual takes you to the origin of Samhain, and also of Beltane, the spring/summer celebration of the Wiccan wheel, in which a walk in the middle of nature was performed. You can do this in your garden, park nearby or wherever you connect with nature. The idea is to contemplate colors, aromas, sounds and connect with them, be one with the season. We are part of the cycle of life, this deserves a reflection: dying in winter is what allows us to be reborn in spring.

3. Ritual for having an oracular dream on Halloween Eve

For this ritual before sleeping, you must take a purification bath, clear your mind of the day’s burdens and leave it blank for a moment. You ask yourself three times a question, to which you would like to know the answer. Then at night, the answer will be revealed to you during your sleep, in a dream. Remember, its important to formulate properly your question, in order to obtain a better result.

4. Ritual to honor the ancestors

This a simple ritual, it consists of preparing an “ancestor altar”, can be on a small table or any space available. You put a tablecloth that indicates that this place will be special and on it, you arrange photos or objects that remind you of them, objects they used to own or like.

You place the elements of the maternal lineage on one side and those of the paternal lineage on the other. In the center, you place a white candle that reminds us of the light we all come from and return to, after this life.

As it is located in the center, it unifies both lineages. A container with fruits and flowers, in front of the candle, will provide the energy of blossoming and rebirth, which is a way to remember that each experience lived by our ancestors was a contribution to the world they left behind.

5. Purification bath at 12 o’clock

According to European folklore there is a “witching hour”, it is quite mentioned and many people around the world wake up at night at this time without knowing what it is and yes… it is at 3 a.m.

It is said that at this time supernatural creatures wake up. For instance, during Halloween night when witches and wizards cast spells, some recommend bathing at midnight, as a purification ritual, with hot water, salt, a few drops of vinegar, bay leaves or lavender to maintain negative vibes away, on this haunting day.

The 1970s was an era where horror movies were becoming quite popular, the audience was seeking thrilling stories with dark backgrounds. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is among the classic and most world-renowned titles, being released in 1974.

This movie was promoted as a “based on a true incident” film and even though this was more like a marketing strategy to attract more viewers, its director Tobe Hooper indeed said that the main character from the movie, Leatherface, was based on Ed Gein, other than that the whole plot of the movie was fictional.
