Beautiful Photos of Nature in Abandoned Places Around the World. Giant Hands Cradle Vietnam’s New Golden Bridge Near Da Nang. Haunted places around the world. A fascination with the unknown drives many travelers to the most bone-chilling corners of our world. Sometimes it’s a lonely place with a violent or macabre past, said to be haunted by the tormented souls of those who already left the Earthly planet.
