Who would say they hate to travel and explore different places? Very few, but what if we say that there are some places in the world, where rarely anyone wish to visit. Top 5 names among them have been mentioned below:
Top 5 most peculiar and horrifying places
Centralia, Pennsylvania
In 1962, a mysterious fire broke out in a coal mine beneath Centralia. This fire led to some unusual and dangerous events: in 1979, a gas station owner discovered that gasoline in his underground tanks was extremely hot, and in 1981, a boy almost fell into a 150-foot-deep sinkhole. These incidents caused many residents to leave. Today, the town is filled with crumbling buildings and broken sidewalks. You might even see smoke rising from the underground fires, which scientists say will keep burning for another 250 years.

Gomantong Caves, Malaysia
The Gomantong Caves are home to over two million bats, whose droppings cover the ground and even the handrails. The caves are also inhabited by millions of Malaysian cockroaches, along with hundreds of snakes, scorpions, and freshwater crabs. It’s definitely not a place for fun activities.

Hanging Coffins, Philippines
In some parts of the Philippines, coffins aren’t buried underground—they’re attached to the sides of cliffs. If you visit there, you’ll see coffins hanging high beside the hills. And seeing this is obviously not a pleasant experience at all.

The Door to Hell, Turkmenistan
Located in the Karakum Desert, the “Door to Hell” is a massive, 230-foot-wide crater that has been burning for over 50 years. This fiery pit was created in 1971 when Soviet scientists accidentally drilled into a methane reserve while searching for oil. To prevent the dangerous gas from spreading, they set it on fire, and it has been burning since then.

Snake Island, Brazil Snake Island, as the name suggests, this place is filled with venomous snakes. There are reportedly one to five snakes per square meter, and their venom is five times more potent than that of their mainland species. In order to avoid risk to humans, the Brazilian government has banned public access to the island.
Visiting these places can absolutely be a dare for anyone but we say not to accept those kinds of dares which can risk anybody’s life. Be safe and visit beautiful places not terrifying ones.
