The Most Terrifying Places on Earth: Searching Through the World's Most Horrifying and Scary Locations

Rate this book
Prepare to be frightened...very frightened by these extraordinarily scary places most of us probably never knew existed! The world around us is a scary place. With danger lurking around so many corners, the threats we can explain are often easily quantified and dismissed. Rather, it is the unexplainable, the paranormal and the strange which present the biggest threats to our psychological well-being. All across the planet, certain places and buildings have come to represent these abnormal and unexplainable phenomena. From ghosts to genocides, brutal murders to witches’ covens, these locations are both hyper specific and universal. In almost every town, village or city, there is often an area where people are wary. A certain building people say is haunted, or a home they know has a particularly gruesome past. People might warn children to stay away, these buildings might form the backbone of some local folklore, or they might actually be condemned and restricted to the public. In these buildings our imaginations run riot and we wonder what could be possibly be lurking down the long, dank and dark corridors. But not all of these places are created equal. In this book, we will examine some of the most terrifying, strange, bizarre, odd and depressing places on earth. These might be haunted homes or the resting place of a murderous maniac. Some have been created by the evils of modern man while others are tributes to ancient and dark mysteries we still struggle to explain. The one thing they share is their ability to chill you to the bone. But as you work through this list, the true extent of humanity’s capacity to imagine the horrific should not be underestimated. When you are ready to learn about some of the worst places in the world, like the island of the doll in Mexico, the Paris catacombs, the Hell fire Club in Ireland, the Ridges in the USA and much more…just read on!

Includes Little Known Places that are Horrific

This short book contains some fascinating information on some frightening places on earth. The author has extensive research, and several of the places mentioned here I had never heard of before. Unit 731 was simply horrific. Read and listen to find out more. There is a wealth of information here and it is both intriguing and disturbing. I read this book using immersion reading, while listening to the audiobook. Narrator Charles D Baker does a wonderful job bringing this book to life. I definitely will check out more of Mr. Bauer's books.

This was a very good that is suitable for the YA audience. There is some violence, but it is not graphic. It has a wonderful underlying message about the importance of believing in yourself and accepting your flaws. The characters and the world are so realistic it’s hard to believe this is a first novel. It s filled with all sorts of magical creatures, fairies, witches, pixies, magicians; some good, some bad and some, I hope that are just mistaken.

This was a short read and I'd read about every single place before. Still, it was good to refresh my memory and I liked it
