By 1974, coal reserves and other fossils on Gunkadzhim were finally exhausted, and people left the island. Today, visiting the island is prohibited. The people there are a lot of legends about this place.

1. Julun, China.
In the spirit of post-apocalyptic works of Philip Dick, Julun was once a densely populated city, which reigned lawlessness. In the last year of the city's existence, the population density in it was 603 people per 450 sq.m. (For example, in Lower Manhattan, 16 people are on the same area). The city was founded as a military cashpost, but after he was captured by Japanese invaders during World War II, by 1948 Julun became a refuge for 2000 emigrants. Without the influence of the government and the presence of local laws that would regulate life in the city, he quickly became a criminal center.

2. Turmond, West Virginia.
At the end of the 1800s, the Turmond was a prosperous coal-mining city with a population of several hundred inhabitants, of which only five remained for 2010. The cause of the death of the city was the appearance of a diesel engine. In the 40s and 50s, when the trains switched from coal to more comfortable diesel fuel, the Turmond lost its main customer. Previously, the trains stayed at the train station of Turmond to replenish coal reserves. In 1958, the last steam locomotive was drove here. The remaining inhabitants, in 2005 six of the seven people, held municipal positions.

3. Piercher, Oklahoma.
Pitcher was a city with a rapidly developing industry for the production of zinc and lead, which has numbered 25,000 inhabitants. But in the early 1980s, the Environmental Protection Office found that the soil fertile earlier was now overly contaminated, and the accommodation here became very dangerous. Mountains of mine waste rumped out everywhere and source of a poisonous lead, poisoning the blood of citizens. Analyzes have shown that in the blood of children living in the city, the lead level was very raised, which was why they had delays in development. In addition, both the young and the elderly population of the city were in danger due to the possible collapse of the shaky buildings.

4. Piercher, Oklahoma.
In the 1990s, the government offered families with young children to buy their real estate and many accepted the offer. In 2006, the Engineering Corps confirmed that 86% of buildings could collapse at any time. Because of the mass departure of the residents, by 2009 all works stopped in the city, and the population fell to 20 people. Ironically, the reason why the city was called dangerous for living, the mines were, which is, for what the city was founded.

5. Centralia, Pennsylvania.
The devilish fire broke out under the ground of Pennsylvania. In 1962, a fire began on one of the coal mines of the Centralia and spread over a variety of abandoned mines under the city. Despite the fact that huge funds were thrown on fire extinguishing, he lasted in the 60s and 70s. In the 1980s, the effects of fire became unbearable - lack of oxygen, a dangerous level of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, karst funnels that appeared on the streets of the city. But in 2009, the authorities were taken out by local residents and closed the Central Postal Code.

6. Centralia, Pennsylvania.
Until 2010, 10 inhabitants remained in the Central. They are absolutely sure that the fire is the result of a government conspiracy aimed at destroying the city. Those who come to look at this post-apocalyptic landscape can see the drawn posters about the government conspiracy against the residents of the Centralia.

7. Flagstaff, Maine.
The Lake Flagstaff is now, once was the place where Benedict Arnold's troops were installed. But in 1950 the government adopted a plan for the construction of a hydroelectric dam. Unfortunately, for the city, which was then in an absolutely dry area, it meant a complete evacuation due to the fact that he had to completely go under the water. Residents moved, taking with them even some buildings. But mostly the city remained in its place and now is a modern Atlantis.

8. Pripyat, Ukraine.
Built in the 1970s for employees of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the city of Pripyat, by 1986 he had 50,000 inhabitants. When an explosion occurred at the power plants, the city quickly empty. People left many of their things, because of which the city looks frozen in time and simultaneously disappearing.

9. Pripyat, Ukraine.
Two main attractions are still in place: "The Bridge of Death", from which people were watching how the reactor burns. They were able to defeat radiation for several weeks. The second is an abandoned amusement park in Pripyat, in which there is a fixed ferris wheel. This wheel has become a symbol of post-apocalyptic world, used even in computer games, for example, Call of Duty.

10. Dogtown, Massachusetts.
The British founded this nameless settlement in 1693. It was conveniently protected from the attacks of local residents. But after the war of 1812 and the emergence of new coastal roads, many farmers moved, leaving empty houses for vagrants and lonely widows who kept dogs to protect.

11. Dogtown, Massachusetts.
Gradually, the dogs were wild and looked freely through the streets, because of the city, the current name of Dogtown appeared, and he has overgrown with legends about wandering things. In the end, local residents, even those who considered wits, died. When the last famous resident died, Cornelius Finnson died in 1830, the city finally switched to the power of dogs.

12. Glenrio, Texas.
Highway 66, this city, which was on the border from New Mexico, was once a prosperous dressing, restaurants and motels for tired travelers. But in 1973, life in the city stopped when part of the track was transferred bypassing Glenrio. There are rumors that there are still several inhabitants. The old spirit of the city can be seen on the pages of the novel "Breasta Wrath".

13. Spinalonga or Kalidon, Greece.
This city island survived many rebirths, but his last role was a colony for lepers. Starting from 1903, the lepers were sent to the city fenced by a wall, where they were given food, water and provided medical care. The conditions here, of course, were not the most elegant, but compared to those caves in which the lepers were hidden in those times, it was just a resort. In 1957, a medicine was opened from leprosy and the healed residents left the city. Now, this is a historic sightseeing among tourists, and in addition, there are legends that the goddess Britomartis lives in the waters surrounding the island.

14. Independence, Colorado.
This city in Colorado was doomed from the very beginning. Located at an altitude of 10,900 feet above sea level, the city every winter suffered from the strongest snowfalls, which continued from October to May. Independence was founded in 1879 as a mining city, and by 1882 there were 1500 inhabitants. But in the winter of 1899, the terrible storm destroyed all the roads, leaving miners without food. Brave residents built Sani from their homes and left the city, moving down the mountain to the city of Aspen.

15. Varosha or Famagusta, Cyprus.
Until 1974, Varosh was a popular seaside city. But that year she became a ghost city. After the invasion of Turkey to the city, the locals were evacuated. Breakfasts were thrown on the table, and the light continued to burn. At the moment, the city is the hostage of political flies. The Turks were expelled from the city, and the UN will allow to settle here only to indigenous people, although none of them shows such a desire. Because of this, Varosha looks in time: there are still 1974 sample things in the shop windows, and the vintage cars rust in car dealerships. Trees grow in cracks in asphalt on sidewalks, and turtles are resting on deserted beaches.

16. Castelnovoyy Sabbyon, Italy.
Sometimes abandoned city is something big than it may seem. The picturesque Tuscan village of Castelnuovo de Sabbeion allegedly emptied in the 1970s due to erosion, provoked by coal mines. But even earlier, the Nazis arranged a huge burial bonfire from furniture and locals. 78 people died in the flame. On the walls of many houses, mysterious and incomprehensible pictures are still preserved: pentagram, fish and other mysterious drawings, telling the story that no one can read.

17. Center for Innovation, Research and Testing "Pegas", New Mexico.
If the majority of ghost cities have become accidental, this empty city is created by Pegasus Global Holdings specially. The city, which is still at the planning stage, will be the size of New Haven, Connecticut. It will be used to test technological innovations of the company, such as self-governing cars protected from terrorists Computer networks and renewable energy sources. There will be roads, houses, buildings, but there will be no residents. The city worth one billion dollars will be built somewhere in New Mexico.

Ghost cities - the former settlements abandoned by residents. Each of them has its own sad story; Causes of different (catastrophe, accident, war), and the result is one - destruction and emptying.

In our world, there is a lot of inexplicable, but perhaps the most mysterious is the existence of long-forgotten and abandoned ghost cities: most of them appeared as a result of a large-scale or natural technogenic catastrophe. We present to you the top 10 dead cities of the world, which almost erased from the face of the Earth, but have their amazing history.

10. Badi (California)

The city was founded in 1876 as a settlement for gold miners, and in just 4 years of its existence, the number of inhabitants exceeded 10,000 people. However, the rapid depletion of resources made citizens leave their homes, and the fire of 1932 destroyed half of all buildings. Currently, the city is assigned the status of a historic park, and anyone can stroll through the empty streets.

9. San Li (Taiwan)

Initially, it was planned that this futuristic city will acquire the status of an elite and closed and will be the place of residence of rich people. However, all the work had to be collapsed due to a series of deadly accidents that took place with the workers. No one decided to demolish the "aliens" at home, and many believe that the souls of the dead builders now live in them.

8. Varosha (Cyprus)

Once years later, numerous tourists came here, but in 1974 the city was occupied by the Turkish army, as a result of which the locals were forced to leave their homes in a rush, although many hoped to return, but in vain. Now Varosha looks as if time in the city stopped forever.

7. Gunning Japan (Japan)

This city also became a victim of mineral hunters. He is located on a small, which in 1890 bought Mitsubishi. Here launched large-scale coal mining work. Soon the density of the working population reached a record mark - 835 people per 1 hectare. But when in the middle of the 20th century, gasoline came to change the coal, the company began to endure losses, and she had to turn his activities. The city was empty, and today the penetration of its territory is equal to a criminal offense.

6. Ballestrino (Italy)

It is still reliably unknown how this city has formed. The first mention of it is dating in 1860. Then there lived only about 850 people who were engaged in farming and the production of olive oil. The earthquake, which happened at the end of the XIX century, made citizens leave the city and move to safer place in terms of geological stability.

5. Centralia (Pennsylvania)

The city flourished until the middle of the XIX century. He was the center of the extraction of anthracite coal, but after the release of the founders of the founders from the business, there was no one to control the deposits. The consequence of such a "negligence" is an underground fire that could not be extinguished for several decades, and only in 1981 the authorities decided to evacuate the inhabitants. The fire still does not fade, and according to experts, this process can delay for another 250 years.

4. Jamina (Japan)

It was assumed that this city will be the tourist center of Japan: it is located on the top of the picturesque plateau, and here there was once a monastery of Shikoku, who was a favorite place of numerous pilgrims. But, as practice has shown, the European traveler, he was little interesting, and everything is good and left for no one.

3. Agdam (Azerbaijan)

The name of this city was familiar to every fan of strong drinks during the existence of the Soviet Union. Once he wore the proud name "White Dome", and is now referred to as the "Caucasian Hiroshima". Agdam today is a kind of monument of stupid and cruel war in the proud, but unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh.

2. Neftegorsk (Russia)

May 28, 1995. Sakhalin shuddered from the most powerful earthquake of the magnitude of 10 points, killed more than 2,000 people and destroyed a small industrial town, just erased him from the face of the earth. It was decided not to restore Neftegorsk, and only plates were reminded about the locations of destroyed houses today, with numbers carved on them.

1. Pripyat (Ukraine)

Probably there is no man who did not hear about the Chernobyl tragedy. This beautiful and promising city turned out to be the youngest ghost city. Now the population is 0 people, but everyone can sign up for a full-fledged excursion, and such a lot.

1. Top Mountain Washington
It happens very beautiful, but to be on Mount Washington that in the northeast of the United States is very scary. Peak height is just 1917 meters, but his peak is almost more dangerous for the visitor than the highest point of Everest.
Mount Washington holds the world wind speed record on the earth's surface. In April 1934, air masses at the top of Washington reached a speed of 372 km / h. In winter, such winds mean snow storms, which picturesquely notice the complex of the buildings of the observatory with tightly clogged at this time of the year doors and windows. The buildings and instruments of the extremal meteorological station are able to withstand the gusts of the wind speed up to 500 kilometers per hour, and this is possible.

Winter Tale Mount Washington is deadly for a random trampoline and a deliberate photographer of natural beauty. And insanely desirable for the one who "ordered" suicide through blowing the hurricane wind into a spiny ice snowdrift.


2. Poisonous beauty of the desert Danakil
We understand - active leisure, new impressions, but not as much! - We talked to friends who collect things for vacation in the Ethiopian desert, and they did not listen to us.


Danakyl desert in the north of Ethiopia, all who have been there, call "hell on earth." Lovers of risk and horror hit the storylors, watch pictures and one after another are sent to the deadly triple three of one of the most terrible and strange landscapes of the planet.


Speakers will pass through the space surface of Danakil - and you do not need to fly on Mars. There is almost no oxygen for breathing over a volcanic wasteland, but on all and there is enough of the burning air, saturated with flicker gases born boiling under the legs and melted stones.


Traveling the desert Danakil at least harmful to health. The fifty-degree heat, the risk of step on the awakening volcano, yawning of the lava, and welded, the risk of sulfur in dishes to the rest of his life and make it short. In addition, in the Afar region, the semi-tribal tribes of Ethiopia citizens periodically go to the water trail for water and food. The ten-year-old boys with guns and machine guns can be another one of the most terrible surprises in the world that lifted the traveler at the site of unearthly beauty - the African desert Danakil.


3. The capital of the grandchildren of cannibals
The main city of Eastern New Guinea, the state of the state that calls himself "Nyudzhini", the city of Port Morsby is the most dangerous of world capitals. From the sea, from the sky Novoguinskaya "Pearl" looks quite attractive:


In fact, it is such:


Such steering "Banana republic", as president and ministers, are living in Port Morsby, and manage the real life of the city of gangster brigades. For the White Man, the Capital of PNG is a terrible place. Still, the intellectual to the prison to youngsters to please.


Papuans in the forest kill strangers for food, and this is explained by the deficiency of the protein in their traditional diet. Papuans in the city "uroat" of tourists because of laziness and unemployment. Locked by Australian handies, the aborigines do not want to work, and if they want, it is very difficult to find work. One thing remains to go to the gang and produce funds for drinking, drugs and girls, hunting on the suckers. Kill in Port Morsby 3 times more often than in Moscow. Police with these boys nicknamed, for bought or intimidated. Look at their face and never dream of becoming the second Miklukho Maklam, for they will eat, like Cook.




In any burdened man, there are dark corners not in a biographies alone, but also in the home. This is not necessarily a cooling spider to intimidate Pinocchio. In a dark corner, it may be, for example, a surplus - something valuable, which, in contrast to a person, darkness is not terrible. There are such mega corners and in each country on any continent. No culture can live without damned places. The most terrible places on the planet compete among themselves in the intensity of quiet horror, as if economics, brands or football leagues. The most terrible places attract guests - from among the bins, which horrors are accustomed to see on TV. Without such corners of the earth, it would be bored to live. As in the apartment without chosen angles.
We continue our rating review. If that, do not be afraid - letters and pictures do not bite.

Aokigahar is an old forest at the foot of the Sacred Mount Fuji. It does not come here on mushrooms, not on kebabs, but to say goodbye to life. For some time, Aokigahar has been gently challenged with authentic Japanese suicides.






An exemplary calculation of the left in the forest is forever from the beginning of the 1950s. For half a century, Aokigahar accepted the body and, for a while, the souls of more than 500 volunteers. Say fashion came after the publication of the book of Seico Matsumoto "Black Sea of \u200b\u200bTrees", two characters of which, holding hands, went to hang out in this respectable forest, so mastered with shadows, that even in a sunny afternoon there is no way to find a terrible place, bitten by raw Grave dusk.

Walking along the terrible forest of Aokigahar, the traveler will stumble not only on the corpses, skulls and loops. And on numerous shields with inscriptions like "life is a priceless gift! Please think again! " Or "think about your family!".


In the 1970s, the problem attracted nationwide attention and since then annually, government units are sent to the scourge of the forest from the "fresh" corpses. Tree area - 35 square kilometers. During the year on the branches of trees "ripen" from 70 to 100 new arrivals of suicidents.


Several years ago, Marauders who brush the horstelles of pockets were appeared in Aokigahar and tear off their necks, but gold and silver chains. We manage to get lost. Keep meekness and optimism.


5. Beer, glass, skeletons
The cozy, civilized Czech Republic can not be called a terrible country. Tourist here is all in a buzz - delicious beer, affordable drugs, beautiful houses, bridges and girls. And even the most, perhaps, the terrible place of Western Europe pleases the eye of the tourist, coming for life. This is the famous Kutnika Mountain.


For the inhabitants of medieval Europe, the abbey in the saddle, the suburb of the Kutna Mountain was the most fashionable and desired cemetery. Its insane popularity was due to the fact that in 1278, a certain monk brought a little land from Jerusalem, with the same Calvary, and the soil scratched the soil with small handles on a local graveyard. Many thousand people walked buried exactly in the saddle. The cemetery has grown a lot, to bury the steel in 2-3 tiers, which is not in the divine. Therefore, from 1400, an unusual tomb has earned in the abbey - a warehouse for bones extracted from the graves, which was not conducted.


In 1870, new, the secular hosts of the land and the buildings of the old monastery decided to bring the order in the Kuznice and invited to this local creative, a carver on the name Rint. With the inherent True Cezham, the death sentence and taste of Pan Rint created 40 thousand people a terrible miracle from the Barn Catholic remains. He not only ordered the deposits of bones and skulls, and also built the massive coat of arms of the master's nobleman and a magnificent chandelier with garlands. Memento Mori, Pani Ta Panov!



A terrible chapel is open to saved beer and beherring visitors seven days a week.


6. Museum of horror stories - Manyak's dream, pride of physicians
Museum of Metter Medicine History, which in Philadelphia, is the place of concentration of all the most terrible, which can happen to the human body. The museum was founded in 1858 by Dr. Thomas Dent Mutter. The entrance ticket to the sanctuary of the science of medical is worth 14 dollars. The exposition presents all sorts of pathologies, ancient and unusual medical equipment, biological samples of varying degrees of nightmare. The most impressive collection of American skulls is also collected.




Top positions in the Metter Museum occupy such curious exhibits as a wax sculpture of a unicorn woman; The three-meter human intestine, which contained 40 pounds of this very; the body of "soapy lady" (a female corpse that turned into the ground in a firout); tumor remote from US President Cleveland; Fraggated liver of Siamese twins; A piece of brain Charles Gito - Killer President Garfield.





It is rumored that at night in the museum there is something out of a number of outgoing - whether it is terrible, or cheerful.


7. Monkey for enlightened
Drapch Tibetan prison, which is located on the road from Lhasa Airport to Lhasa, is considered the most terrible penitentiary institution in the world. In the drapes, the evil Chinese since 1965 are pedantically pushing unoccupied Tibetan Lam. Here, behind the barn, monks are more than in any single Buddhist monastery.




The Chinese occupation authorities cynically refer to such cute "rehabilitation centers". In Drapychi, you can catch the "crash" bullet in the forehead for the wrong look towards the verturaya. For the slightest protest, the monk-monks are mercilessly beaten. One of the violators of the regime as long as a long time in a single chamber, which has learned to speak. The other is once again in conclusion for the 20th year for distributing a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In addition, the Chinese Gulag Buddhists are forced to go to school communism. I did not learn a lesson - get by the chakram batalog. It did not come to the lesson - taste the bamboo porridge. True, the prospect of this is terrible?




Lyrical retreat: Having lined in black Japanese forests with hungry and intestinal museums, we were completely forgotten by us, romance, about the most terrible places on the planet, as working torture offices of the criminal investigation in the Poly-Miliation Reeds. On places where the small civil war and nano-genocide are played daily. From visiting such "territy" of us, romantics, saves the Holy Faith in justice and the neat appearance of the chaste eyes. And what to the Civil War, then, I remember, the most terrible, bloody and unusually stupid of these was in Rwanda. A terrible African country where we are now and go.
8. Africa is terrible, yes yes!
All Soviet children know that in Africa there is a nasty, bad, greedy barkmale. The concentration of Barmalevs on the square mile of tea plantations is offshore for 420 individuals. In 1994, Barmaley with Machete decided to highlight thousands of 900 souls. That's what came out of it




Having learned from the Embassy reports of Rwandan genocide and its consequences, a white man sighed heavily and went to pacify Barmalev. Those of whom those who have hands in the blood turned out to be higher than the elbow, jail. Yes, in difficult - the most crowded and unsanitary in the world. This incredibly terrible place has a lyrical name - guitar.




In the barracks designed for the maintenance of 500 zacks, there are more than 6,000 Rwandan Barmalev, 8-10 years old (!) Waiting for trial. They are tormented by hunger, therefore, to bite off the heel or ear in the ceamer - the phenomenon is normal. There are no place to lie down, so the concluded from the prisoners rot the feet that doctors have to amputate without anesthesia. The floor is wet and ridden, the vonya spreads to polivni, after writing in the eyes of peacekeepers the capital city of Kigali. Each eighth Barmaley dies in this prison, without waiting for the sentence - from violence or diseases. And do not give any God nor the devil get into the guitar with a white intelligent person ...




9. Million of a millionaire from slums
What smells of real India? Incense, marijuana, fried cremation meat? This, non-disattended India smells with hindrances, uncleanness and waste of chemical production. This stench from morning to evening breathe benevolent and superstitious consumers of Bollywood film products, residents of the district, where to rent an "apartment" for a month costs no more than 4 dollars. It is Dharavi, the largest in Asia Salstroy - Slums village in the heart of the charming, multimillion mumbai.




The main character of the film "Millionaire from a slum" is from the city of Dharavi. At 175 hectares of a dirty land here more than a million Hindus and Muslims live here. Their bread is the processing of urban garbage, which is brought and bring tens of tons here daily. Inhabitants of terrible slums are engaged in the disposal of plastic, cans, glass and waste paper. Their barefoot children and wives are climbing Mumbai garbage containers in search of what can be recycled.






By 2013, the Mumbai authorities intend to compare Dharavi with Earth. Where to celebrate residents, those who did not have time to become millionaires? Go back to the village? Scary to think about it.


10. The capital of the incessant violence
When the Indian awakens and goes to collect bottles, the Somaliele still sleeps in an embrace with his beloved toy - the Kalashnikov machine gun. He sleeps sensitively, shuddering and launching black saliva - after all, that and looked, the land Somali pirates will come and rupture. In the capital of the collapsed Somalia, the city of Mogadishu, violence and fear is the norm of life.


People of Somali anthropological type are statically and beautiful. They often die with young, carrying out their cruel beauty in the desert grave. But new, future marine and urban robbers are born, who do not bear anything, just not to show themselves weak and not stay without dinner.





Those who are tired of war running from Mogadishu, but can not escape from themselves. Over the past year, 100 thousand inhabitants of the warring capital left the city, risking not to die from bullets, but from thirst. The UN even their humanitarian assistance is not in a state - scary, and no security guarantees.






How to live terribly ... Fortunately, not for us.
