10 Weird and Strange Places Around the World

Some of the strange and weird places on earth aren’t legitimately haunted, but they are haunted by the memories of the horrors that were once committed there. The absence of life and positivity in a place that is just an archaic link to the past can be more chilling than any ghost story.
