Aokigahara Forest

Aokigahara Forest, also known as the 'Suicide Forest', has somehow became the go-to destination for those wanting to end their lives. Located on the base of Mt. Fuji, the forest is filled with the decomposing remains of so many Japanese citizens that there are people hired to venture into it and report on any new findings. The lonely and depressed often camp out in the forest prior to committing suicide, with their abandoned tents scattered around its floor.

Devil's Kettle
At first glance this waterfall and rock formation in Minnesota looks perfectly normal. However, while on the surface the pothole on the left of this image wouldn't turn many heads, it's what happens underground that has confused researchers the world over. While the water of the Brule River runs into the 'Devil's Kettle', no one has ever discovered where that water goes. Multiple tests have been made in an to attempt to discover where the Devil's Kettle leads to, but all have proven inconclusive. As it stands, it seems that anything that goes into it simply vanishes.

Island of the Dolls

Isla de las Munecas, or Island of the Dolls, is so called because it is littered with hundreds of dolls tied to its trees, hung from branches and scattered along its floor. What makes this even more disturbing is that all of this was done by one man, a hermit named Julian Santana Barrera, who according to legend discovered the remains of a young girl who had drowned off shore. Julian found her doll floating in the water nearby, and in memory of her tied it to a tree. He then began to decorate the island with more dolls he found in tips and the nearby canal, which he believed was appeasing the spirit of the dead girl he found. Julian died in 2001, with the prevailing theory behind his death being that he committed suicide after being driven insane. However, the Island of the Dolls is still accessible by boat.

Pripyat

Evacuated a few days after the Chernobyl disaster, Pripyat was once home to 50,000 people but now it stands completely abandoned. Hospitals, theme parks and playgrounds are desolate landmarks from a society forced to leave their lives behind them, and due to radiation it remained completely uninhabited for over two decades. However, the Ukrainian government has now begun to allow tourists to visit the city due to a decrease in the possibility of radiation poisoning.

Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester Mystery House in Northern California was constructed under the supervision of Sarah Winchester, who insisted upon around-the-clock development on the property. As such, the house is actually more of a huge, winding mansion, filled with corridors that lead nowhere, staircases that seem to go upwards endlessly and other odd features. It is said that Sarah believed she was being haunted by the spirits of those who had been called by Winchester rifles (her deceased husband was gun magnate William Winchester), who ordered her to keep working on the house. Following her death construction work on the property immediately stopped, and it is now a tourist attraction.
