Before we go on vacation, we plan our route very carefully, and we learn as much as possible about the place we will be visiting. Different people go on vacations for different reasons: some look for peace and quiet, and some want to deal with their fears face-to-face and challenge themselves. However, not everyone has the time or the money to visit every place they want. But if you find time to read this article, you will take a small but very interesting journey.
Know Bright has made a list of places that can make you feel like you are a character in a horror movie. If you are one of those people who need a big dose of adrenaline in their lives, you have to visit at least one of these places. We also prepared a bonus for you that will show you how unusual and weird the things in deserts can be.
1. The Chapel of Bones
This chapel is located in Évora, Portugal, and it is one of the most famous monuments of the city. The chapel gets its name from the interior walls that are covered and decorated with human skulls and bones.
The Chapel of Bones was built in the 16th century by a Franciscan monk who wanted to tell his brothers that life is short. This is why the walls are covered with bones. At the entrance of the chapel, there is a sign:
Nós ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos. This can be translated as
We bones that here are, for yours await.
2. Hoia Forest
Hoia Forest is situated in Transylvania and is famous for various stories about paranormal events. According to the legend, the forest is named after a shepherd who once entered the forest with animals and disappeared with them in a thick fog. No signs of an assault were found.
Many researchers claim that they experienced fear, they panicked, and they heard different voices while they were in the forest — all for unexplained reasons. Some of them are convinced they saw a UFO there; others are sure they met ghosts. It’s hard to believe any of this, even though there are photos that supposedly captured these events. But is there a better place than Transylvania for stuff like this to happen?
3. The Hill of Crosses
The Hill of Crosses is a holy site in Lithuania, and it is a hill with a huge number of crosses on it. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but, according to some calculations in the ’90s, there were about 50,000.
