The Creepiest Places in the World

I found this title at another blog, and it got my attention probably as much as it now has yours, lol.

Concierge.com has an interesting series on the world’s creepiest places. The places that make the top ten are… very creepy, indeed. There’s a nifty Google Map for it, too, here.

Surprisingly, no New York State tourist attractions made the list. Oh well, the Legislature will soon be gone for the season, anyhow.

One place they did include is Chernobyl in the Ukraine. When I was a schoolgirl in the 80′s, the news was filled with the shady and unaccounted-for reports of what was happening after a fire at a nuclear power plant (this was before glasnost). Over the past twenty years, the horrors of the nuclear fallout have come to light. Those poor, pitiable people. Years ago, I read a blog about a young woman who drove her motorcycle through the area. She snapped photos, and her narrative made you ache along with these plighted, peopleless homes. Her journal is riveting. Be prepared to spend hours going over it.
