The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth

The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth
It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in ghosts, there are some places in which none of us would want to spend a night. These places have well earned their reputations as being so creepy, tragic or mysterious (or all three) that they definitely qualify as "haunted." Places like... Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. It probably has something to do with all the dead bodies scattered around. What Niagara Falls is to weddings, Aokigahara is to suicide. More than 500 fucking people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. Also skulls. Besides bodies and homemade nooses, the area is littered with signs displaying such uplifting messages like "Life is a precious thing! Winchester Mystery House Oh, bitch...!

The Castle - StumbleUpon Viking Jewelry Unearthed in Denmark Several pieces of Viking jewelry, some of which contain gold, have been uncovered at a farm site in Denmark that dates as far back as 1,300 years. Although the Vikings have a popular reputation as being raiders, they were also farmers, traders and explorers, and the craftsmanship seen in this jewelry demonstrates their artistic skills. Archaeologists working with volunteers used metal detectors to find the jewelry in different spots throughout a farmstead on Zealand, the largest island in Denmark. Finding such lavish goods at such a modest farm site poses a puzzle, the archaeologists said. Heart-shaped animal head The "most spectacular" example is 2.9 inches (73 millimeters) long and shows an image of a heart-shaped animal head with rounded ears and circular eyes, writes archaeologist Ole Thirup Kastholm, of the Roskilde Museum, in a paper published in the most recent edition of the Danish Journal of Archaeology. "The neck is covered by a beadlike chain," Kastholm writes.

Sur ce site ô combien romantique, façon Grand Meaulnes, Brindos a été l’un des temples de la Belle Époque, initiée à l’Hôtel du Palais de Biarritz grâce à la clientèle du gotha dont Sacha Guitry, les princes russes et les têtes couronnées. On doit à l’international de rugby du Biarritz Olympique, Serge Blanco, la magistrale rénovation du château aux colonnes et statues de pierres, baigné de lumière et de sérénité. publicité 1 allée du Château 64600 Anglet.

Southern Thanksgiving Menu {Main Course} Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. You see, the entire day involves being with the ones you love, cooking, eating, cooking some more, eating some more, and then planning out what to do the rest of the holiday weekend. There are no gifts to be exchanged or costumes to be made. It is a day filled with gratitude for our many blessings and celebrating with family and friends. My family starts planning our Thanksgiving weeks in advance. One of the highlights of the day is as we sit down to our meal, we take a moment to share our gratitude for the people in our lives and not the things. That and the Southern Cornbread Dressing. Southern Thanksgiving Menu The Southern Thanksgiving Menu is full of tasty, traditional recipes that just can’t be missed. The Turkey It seems like every few years we try something new with our turkey for Thanksgiving. Southern Cornbread Dressing Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be the same without my Grandmother Verdie’s recipe for Southern Cornbread Dressing.
