The post Awesome Abandoned Places Photos From Around The World appeared first on Barnorama.

Jacob’s Well, Texas. Jacob’s well is a 12-foot wide perennial spring, just outside of Wimberly, Texas. The well’s one of the creepiest places on earth, pretty much because it goes down 30 feet then levels off into an expansive underwater tunnel system that stretches for miles. So far, at least 8 divers have died in the system trying to map and explore the caves. Imagine swimming in complete darkness, with your oxygen running low, you’re lost and confused and all you need is an air bubble to regain your composure, but there’s nowhere to stop and breathe. That’s my nightmare, right there.

The Killing Fields, Cambodia. During the end of the Cambodian Civil War precipitated by the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979, close to 1.7 million and 2 million people were the subject of genocide by dictator Pol Pot. There are thousands of these sites all over the country, where you can still find human bones sticking out the dirt paths, with a whole host of various injuries that they sustained in their execution.

Poveglia Island, Italy. We’ve written about this one before, but this island off the coast of Venice is the most haunted place in Italy. Over its years, it’s been a plague victim dumping ground, a graveyard and a mental hospital where strange experiments are conducted. Its rumoured that the mad doctor in charge of the experiments was pushed off the bell tower by unseen hands and suffocated by a fog after surviving his fall. The island’s been left to rot since 1968, and no one is permitted to visit.

Death Zone, Mt. Everest, Nepal. This is a pretty depressing name for the highest altitudes of Mt. Everest. Anything above 8,000 metres (of the total 8,848m height), is where the oxygen becomes so thin that you can’t breathe without oxygen. At this point, between the lack of oxygen, exhaustion, extreme cold and various climbing hazards, mean that the majority of the 200+ lives that Mt. Everest has claimed, have been here. Since rescuing or carrying an injured climate back to basecamp is impractical, they’re typically left there to die. So far, about 150 corpses are unrecovered and it’s not crazy to find corpses alongside the standard climbing routes, frozen in their last moments, trying to make it back down.

Paris Catacombs, France. Since the 13th century, the ground beneath Paris has been mined for limestone and other minerals, so the entire ground that the city sits on is a labyrinth of tunnels. A little over half of those tunnels are mapped, while the rest are left to speculation. Back in 1800’s, the graveyards of Paris were getting so full, that they had to start transferring the bones to the tunnels, and arranged them in a Gothic display. This ossuary (where the bones are kept) are open to the public for you to check out and even touch, if you wanted to. If that’s your thing. We won’t judge.

The Wall, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The Wall is a 2-mile straight vertical drop to the ocean floor. As soon as you leave the beach, the water is shallow, warm and amazingly clear. You can swim with colourful fish and snorkel among the scattered coral formations on the ocean floor. About a quarter mile out, however, it just drops. The depth goes from 1,000 feet to 2 miles, straight down, and the water changes from warm and clear to cold and solid black. It’s like swimming over a black abyss of nothing. Just cold, dark, evil nothingness.

Aokigahara Forest: The Suicide Forest, Japan. Since the 1950’s, more than 500 people have committed suicide in the Aokigahara forest. Almost half of that number just comes from 2010. Generally, anyone going to kill themselves in the forest, will resort to hanging themselves or overdosing, and due to the density of the forest, you might not get found. The government only cleans up the forest once a year; otherwise you’re likely to stumble upon a successful attempt any time you go in.

Mexican Doll Island, Mexico. Just south of Mexico City, between the canals of Xochimico, there’s a small island that was never meant to be a tourist destination, but through tragedy, has become one. Legend has it that a girl was found drowned under mysterious circumstances on the island, and to quell her spirit, thousands of dolls found their way to the island. There’s severed limbs, decapitated heads and blank eyes that just stare at you. The rumour is that she inhabits the dolls, so it’s not odd to see them opening their eyes or moving.

Darien Gap, Panama. This is an area of swampland that separates Central and Southern America and essentially cuts off the connection between the two. As it would have been expensive to build roads, here, it’s all swampy terrain with no clear paths. If you try to navigate it on foot, you’ll be dealign with poisonous plants and dangerous animals. Then there’s the insurgents from either side that are looking to kill or kidnap you, for any number of reasons. This is considered one of the most dangerous places on earth, full of abandoned signs attempts at civilization and hiding places for all the nopes in the southern hemisphere.

The Marianas Trench, Pacific Ocean. One of the deepest known points on earth, no one really knows what’s down there. It’s deeper than the average causing altitude of commercial airliners and is full of nightmare fuel and nope creatures. There’s been several expeditions down to the Challenger Deep, which is the deepest crevasse, but they couldn’t go all the way down, as the pressure was too deep. If this is what lives down there, I’m ok. I’ll stay on land, thanks.

The Overtoun Bridge, Scotland. On the road to to Overtoun House near Dumbarton, Scotland, is a bridge that invites suicide, especially in dogs. Since the 1950’s at least one dog per year has jumped off the bridge, onto the waterfalls below. Several animal behaviourists and scientists have tried to figure out a reason for it, but everyone is stumped. Whenever someone takes their dog on the bridge, they will try to kill themselves. There’s signs everywhere to make sure you keep your dog on a leash, but some dogs are so persistent in jumping that they break away. Now that’s sad; poor doggos.

Door to Hell, Derweze, Turkmenistan. The entire area of Derweze is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas, and caused the cavern to collapse, creating a huge hole with a diameter of 229 feet. To avoid the gas discharging and poisoning the air, they decided to burn it off. They figured it would burn out in a matter of days, but it’s been 46 years. It literally looks like the doorway to the hottest place in the afterlife. That’s a hell nope!

The Gates of Hell, New Jersey. This is a legendary passageway that leads to a network of underground tunnels and storm sewers, and, according to rumours, the lair of the devil himself. While other drains and tunnels are square and full of water, this tunnel is made of stone, always dry and filled with satanic symbols, bones and other esoteric items. There’s also a legend that if you follow the tunnels all the way down, there’s a room only a few can enter, with a glowing skull and the devil himself. Go Devils.

Catacombe dei Cappuccini, Italy. These catacombs present an endless array of preserved corpses, a lot of them being either small children and babies, or friars. Originally, after the graveyards got full, the friars excavated catacombs for their burial and used a special solution to preserve the bodies. Since the 1500’s, it also became fashionable to be buried down there as a symbol of status, so up until the 1920’s you could find yourself there. It’s now a tourist site, where you can take a tour and see all the skeletons, arranged in various positions, including the very last body in there; 2-year old Rosalita, who’s still perfectly preserved.

Gas Chambers, Auschwitz, Poland. This is one of the creepiest places on earth, and this image one of the saddest. During World War II, it’s estimated that 2.1 to 2.5 million Jews, Soviet soldiers, Gypsies, Poles and other people from Slavic and European backgrounds, were gassed to death in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. This image is of an inner wall of a chamber and those white lines are nail marks of people being gassed, as they tried to escape. This place shows the worst of humanity and it’s like every lost soul is just imbued in the ground there. You can feel it all there. It’s both creepy and incredibly sad.

The post You Need To Eat At These Crazy Places Before You Die appeared first on Barnorama.

The Secret Archives of the Vatican : Unless you’re a high authoritative figure in the papacy, you’ll never walk through the doors of the Vatican’s secretive archives — a room full of ancient biblical texts. Because of the public’s inability to access these texts, many theorists suspect the Bible was heavily edited by the Vatican. You’ll never know. You could be a ten-year-old leukemia ridden Make-A-Wish boy whose last dying wish is to visit the Vatican’s archives and the archbishop will gladly slam the door in your face.

Wildenstein’s Art Gallery : The world’s most exclusive and privately owned art gallery purported to be full with Renoir, Rembrandt and Vermeer paintings, is completely off limits to us commoners. The Wildenstein family (famously known for Jocelyn Wildenstein’s plastic surgery addiction) only allows a selected few high members of society to view their private collection. So while Jocelyn is busy getting her cheekbones shaved off, you’ll never know the complete collection the world deserves to see.

Area 51 : A long-time mystery destination, Area 51, the questionable military base, remains a shrouded in secrecy. Whether they’re communicating with extraterrestrial beings or devising a new time travel device, people never know. Because if you step inside the premises without permission, deadly force will be used at all costs.

RAF Menwith Hill : No one really knows what’s going on inside RAF Menwith Hill, a highly-secretive British government air force station that harbors golf ball-like domes and satellites. It’s reputed to be the largest electronic monitoring system in the world and can easily spy on other countries.

Ise Grand Shrine : This Japanese shrine is completely off limits to the public. Home to the Sacred Mirror, the chief priest or priestess and the royal family are solely responsible for the up-keeping of this sacred place of worship. They’re so protective of the site that they demolish and rebuild the shrine every 25 years so it will be even more off limits.

Necker Island : Like many islands, Necker Island is privately owned by a famous billionaire: Sir Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Records). Accessible only by helicopter, this British Virgin Island is said to have a luxurious villa large enough to comfortably house 28 of Branson’s guests. Only high profile people like Kate Winslet and the late Princess Diana of Wales have stayed there. Google founder and fellow billionaire Larry Page married his long-time girlfriend on Necker Island.

White’s Gentlemen’s Club : The world’s oldest and most exclusive gentlemen’s club is situated in a highbrow area of London. No women are allowed to visit (with the one exception of Queen Elizabeth) and this private club is specifically for men of royalty. It’s also the place where Prince Charles held his bachelor party before his marriage to Lady Di.

Ark of the Covenant : In the small town of Axum in Northern Ethiopia, lies the secretive Chapel of the Ark of the Covenant. The ark, like some twisted Indiana Jones-esque holy relic is strictly forbidden for the public to view. Only certain high priests can view the ark themselves.

Poveglia Island: If you’ve seen “Shutter Island,” then this location will be familiar to you. Not far from Venice, Italy, this island was once home to one of the most horrific insane asylums that was reputed to perform cruel medical experiments or lobotomize their patients. Today, the island is completely abandoned, but the remnants of the hospital/prison still remain. Nearby locals and tourists are not allowed to step a foot on this island (except the ghosts of the criminally insane and their mad doctors).

Aldwych Tube Station: The famous London Underground has a defunct station: Aldwych. The station opened in 1907, but was closed for the duration of WWII and used to hide and transport museum pieces and provide shelter from aerial bombardments. It was reopened after the war, then closed permanently in 1994 due to lack of use. The station and tunnels surrounding it have since been used to film multiple action movies. You are unlikely to ever see it (except on film), unless you get invited to one of the art exhibitions, book launches or other private parties that are occasionally held there. Otherwise it’s closed to the public.

Club 33: This highly secretive speakeasy is located in the last place you’d expect — at Disney World’s New Orleans district. This extravagant liquor club only opens up after the park closes and caters to a small party. Unless you can foot the $30,000 venue fee, you’ll never step inside Disney’s under-the-radar magic kingdom.

North Korea: South Korea, sure. North Korea? Nope. This country is notorious for being closed off from the world of outsiders and strictly does not allow residents to leave. And it’s not looking like Kim Jong-un is going to change his mind on tourism anytime soon (that is, unless you’re Dennis Rodman).

Surtsey, Iceland: This volcanic island started erupting in 1963, and it was four years before it stopped. Afterward, new life sprung from the ashes and colonized the island. Home to 89 different species of birds, Surtsey Island remains untouched by humans, with the exception of a few expert botanists and ornithologists. This island is definitely not for the public view.

Snake Island : Lets admit it, you’re not all that bummed to bump this off your bucket list. Remember that disturbing dream where you are surrounded by slithery snakes crawling all over the floor and hanging from trees? Such place does exist and it’s Snake Island off the coast of Brazil. And if that wasn’t scary enough, the island is home to an uncountable number of the world’s most venomous snake, making this one destination dangerous.

The post 14 Mysterious Places You’re Not Allowed To Visit appeared first on Barnorama.

The post Oh the Places You Sleep When You’re Drunk appeared first on Barnorama.

Vatican Secret Archives
Despite the church’s attempt at openness, critics say the contents aren’t accessible enough since only qualified clergy and academics are allowed inside the facility, and even those granted entry cannot view items without advanced approval.Thus, the skeptics remain, with theories ranging from the cavern hiding gospels that contradict the Bible, to it housing the earliest known collection of pornography, and holding plans to control the world.

Fort Knox
Fort Knox is home to the US Bullion Depository. It not only stores thousands of tons of gold, but, it is said to house important historical documents as well, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Magna Carte. If a bank robber was somehow able to get through the solid granite wall perimeter and past the squadrons of machine-gun wielding guards and armed military, they would still have to contend with a 22-ton vault blast door held shut by a lock so intricate that it requires a 10 person team to unlock.

Federal Reserve Bank in New York
Below the streets of Manhattan sits a vault so impenetrable that it’s entrusted with more U.S. gold bullion than the famous Fort Knox. Security is so tight that men aren’t allowed to enter the vault; pallets are moved around by a team of robots. The bank’s security systems are so trusted that even foreign governments use it for gold storage. And – as if that wasn’t enough – a Jason Bourne level protection force watch the perimeter; their shooting range scores are so good they’re better than marksmen.

Tumen River
This river makes up part of the boundary between Russia and North Korea and also snakes down into Chinese territory. Within a mile, you can go from North Korea, through China and end up in Russia, which makes this a good place for those wishing to defect. As such, it is generally well guarded by North Korean soldiers.

 The Iranian Gold Reserve – Location Unknown
What makes the vault holding Iran’s gold reserve impenetrable is that nobody can say for sure where it is. One could assume the vault is either in the Imperial Treasury location or the Iran Central Bank, but you know what they say about assumptions. Iran secretly flew gold into the country from Europe in order to dodge “financial pressure” from the US and UK. Now that the reserves are back within Iranian borders, the location of their holding vault has been very elusive.

Bank of England gold vault
If Britain’s Prime Minister had a secret, he would want to keep it here. More than 4,600 tons of gold are safeguarded in what is the UK’s largest gold vault. A figure that’s second only to the Federal Reserve Vault. The walls are bombproof and the security system is so intricate that it involves voice recognition, 3 foot keys and other security measures that aren’t even published.

The Swiss Vaults
Crime thrillers usually have talk of a Swiss bank account. There’s a reason: Swiss banks are among the safest on the planet. The 3-key safety deposit box in particular has been used by the World’s most wealthy citizens for over 200 years.

The Mormon Church’s Secret Vaults
These secret vaults contain genealogical and historical records. Not only are they heavily guarded, but also, rumor has it that the records are even protected by temperature control as well as motion and heat sensors. Photos of the complex can be a challenge to come by.

Korean Demilitarized Zone
The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land dividing North and South Korea. It is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world, stretching 160 miles in length and 2.5 miles in width. Because of the high defense surrounding the border, people rarely dare to cross it, and as such, it has become a nature preserve.

Iron Mountain
What do the charred remains of Flight 93, the original photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue, and Edison’s patent for the light bulb have in common? They’re all stowed under Iron Mountain. 200 feet below the ground, this retired limestone mine houses 1.7 million square feet worth of vaults. The US government is the biggest tenant, and the identities of 95% of vault owners are confidential. We do know that Warner Brothers, the Smithsonian Institution, and Corbis all have vaults there. Thousands of historic master recordings, photo negatives, and original film reels live here. Iron Mountain is also home to Room 48, a data center backing up some of America’s biggest companies. Two waves of armed guards protect the entrance, and it’s said they inspect guests so thoroughly that even the TSA would be embarrassed.

ADX Florence Prison
The Administrative Maximum Facility (ADX for short) is a supermax prison (for men) in Colorado housing the baddest of the bad. These criminals are considered the most dangerous cons in the US and has earned the prison the nickname of “Alcatraz of the Rockies.” Described by one former ADX warden as “a cleaner version of hell”, security measures at the prison include attack dogs guarding the area between the prison walls and 12 ft. high razor wire fences, 1,400 remotely controlled steel doors, motion detecting laser beams, pressure pads and cameras. Current residents include the ‘Shoe Bomber’ Richard Reid, Oklahoma City Bombing conspirator Terry Nichols and many others.

Bold Lane Car Park
You won’t have to worry much about car thieves when you leave your car parked here. This car park (or parking garage) in Derbyshire, England is one of the safest places in the world. You can’t get in unless you have a ticket indicating your exact parking spot. Then once your car is parked, it is protected by motion detectors and other alarms that will go off if someone messes with your car. If the alarm does go off, the whole place goes into lockdown mode.

Cheyenne Mountain
The Cheyenne Mountain complex was, at one point, the command center for the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Space Command missions. It is so well guarded that the tunnel is protected by solid granite and reinforced. NORAD has since moved its operations to another location. It is interesting to note that the Cheyenne Mountain Complex was also the home to the fictional Stargate Command on the popular TV show Stargate SG-1.

Air Force One
One of the most well built planes in the world and what many consider the world’s most secure moving location, Air Force One has plenty of security. The United States President travels in a modified Boeing 747-200B series aircraft. It has the world’s most advanced flight avoidance, air-to-air defense, and electronics technology packages available anywhere in the World, all for the protection of the Commander-in-Chief and his entourage.

Area 51
This top secret air force base in Nevada is guarded so well that no one can get in, and even flying over it is forbidden. The area is covered in motion sensors and is heavily patrolled by all sorts of vehicles. It’s the home of anything pertaining to UFOs and alien conspiracies.

Haven Co
Haven Co was a data-protection company located in the North Sea off the coast of Britain. The only people ever allowed in were authorized personnel, investors, and members of Britain’s royal family. However, it allegedly shut down in 2008. Set into the middle of the North Sea, there was no way you were getting into this place. What data was stored here, and why did it suddenly go defunct without explanation?

The Greenbrier
Spread out across 6,500 acres, this exclusive resort lies deep within the forests of West Virginia. Underneath lies the real secret, however. Underneath lies a 25-ton nuclear blast door, with tunnels behind it which create a nuclear bunker that is filled with supplies for members of the U.S. Congress to weather out a nuclear attack.

The 1960’s Bar
Located 100 feet underground within Britain’s secret subterranean Burlington bunker complex in Wiltshire, England, the 1960’s Bar is a recreation of a pub popular with British Government officials. This top secret base was first constructed during the Cold War and designed to be a refuge for the higher-ups to reconstruct Britain in the event of a nuclear attack.

Doomsday Seed Vault
As its name suggests, the vault, officially known as the Svalbard International Seed Vault, is designed to store a wide assortment of seeds in an effort to preserve crop diversity and assure humans will have a source of food no matter what earthly disasters occur.The storage compound is located in Svalbard—one of the remotest places on the planet that’s still fairly accessible. Svalbard is a large, barren rock island in the Arctic Circle, and the vault is situated inside an old copper mine. As if the isolated landscape weren’t enough, the seed safe is defended with blast-proof doors, motion sensors, airlocks, and one meter thick steel reinforced concrete. Its unique climate and position should keep the seeds safe from any disaster, man-made or otherwise, for centuries.

The post Places on the Planet, Which Become More Colorful When Spring Comes appeared first on Barnorama.

There are actually more rabbits than people.

This is due to the fact that prior to 1945, Ōkunoshima was top secret military base, which was engaged in the production of toxic gases. After the war the factory was destroyed, as well as any evidence of it. Residents and workers left the island.

But now this place is a real home for rabbits that roam without fear throughout the island.

Despite the fact that the animals are wild, they welcome tourists without fear, jumping to their knees and taking as a gift all sorts of treats. Ōkunoshima visitors are allowed to feed and stroke the animals. They even allowed to bring own food for rabbits, especially in winter, when natural food on the island is not enough.

Every year it attracts more than 100,000 visitors. The island also has a guest hotel, a small camping and even a golf course.

In order to protect the local fluffy population, tourists are forbidden to take to the island dogs and cats.

Photographer Niki Feijen has an amazing eye for the unbelievable. Especially as he takes photos that seem to be too real. You know, the ones where there is more than what initially meets the eye and have a depth lying under the surface you can’t quite identify?

Well, Niki recently wandered into an abandoned town, formerly home to over 50,000 people, and showed us just what the end of the world might look. From abandoned homes, churches, and even an amusement park, the results are terrifyingly interesting.

If you’re like me, you never, EVER, want to visit that place. Seeing the abandoned places stretching as far as I can see, walking through the remains of people long lost, would seriously haunt my dreams. Thankfully, Niki has showed us without us ever needing to go.
