World’s eeriest abandoned places

 

Today we’ve found something different, but like all places rarely explored by humans, we thought it worth a nod.

Adam H. Graham reports for Travel + Leisure Magazine on the world’s creepiest abandoned places, from vacant medical hospitals (like the above one in Norway) to sunken villages and derelict amusement parks.

“Young creatives have made a hobby out of photographing derelict and discarded buildings and uploading the images to sites like Abandoned-places.com and Weburbanist.com, along with Flickr’s numerous user groups, like Abandoned Motels, Abandoned Sweden and Best of Abandoned. The most popular group, simply called Abandoned, has 20,000-plus members and remains a go-to source for those looking to find new terrain.”
