October is usually the best time for great videos. My channel does similiar creepy/strange subjects and have a Halloween theme going if you're interested.
I live near Kolmanskop and I must admit, when visiting the ghost town it's 100 times creepier than any pictures can portray. If you decide to make another video featuring Kolmanskop or a video about it, I have some good video footage I filmed there and would happily share it. Greetings
+Ant Unison you didn't walk through Chernobyl, you walked through Pripyat, which is the city located near. The city itself is not radioactive and there are actual people living there now. The radioactivity comes from the tanks, cars and helicopters used in the Chernobyl operation.
The Twin Files don't be ignorant. People don't eat animals from there. And those people that live there are workers on the plant, that have a job in making sure everything is secured.
the woman reading the text gives her best to get different pronunciations correct and i appreciate her so much for that. You can hear her effort- well done WatchMojo.com lady!
How about the entire southeastern portion of the island of Montserrat, including the capital city and old airport, destroyed by the island's active volcano? Can't imagine a creepier ghost town than that.
funny how Centralia, Pennsylvania wasn't included in this list, due to an underground mine fire forcing people out of their homes and out of the area, which also was spewing out smoke and poisonous gases as well as closing down a major highway

I've been sneaking into Beelitz for a couple times now, but it's not that scary. Lots of graffity, lots of candles in the basements (for occult stuff) and not that many old beds or objects. You do kinda get the slight feeling it's hauted during the evening though, you even hear those creepy doors closing.
i have watched SOOOOO many videos on abandoned and haunted places but you did a really good job because I have never heard of most of those before. every other video is pretty repetitive but this has actually given me some new info, thank you!
No.1 Reminds me of this "I was just a 'Leftenant' back then, doing some wet work. Chernobyl, Christmas for the bad guys. Even a decade later a lot of them still used it to get their hands on nuclear material. A lot of them, including one Imran Zakhaev. Of course we couldn't just let that happen, cash for spent fuel rods? That's one hell of a recipe for destruction. It was the first time our government authorized an assassination order since the second World War. I was under the command of Captain MacMillan." - Capt. Price
I am from Morristown, NJ and in the town next to me there is Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital. It was rebuilt in I believe 2008, but the old hospital still stood for many many years, abandoned. There were underground tunnels between buildings that were left behind as well. The main building was hundreds of years old, massive, and extremely creepy looking. Allegedly, it was also very haunted. It was technically off limits, but a lot of people either broke in or knew a police officer who would let them in. Most of the old equipment and medical records were still there. Some parts of the buildings looked as if they had all just walked right out and never returned. Other parts of the building hadn't been updated in so long that it was like walking into another era. Everyone wanted it to be turned into a museum, but they demolished it to make more parks and fields a few years ago :(.
The radiation has died down significantly since then. Granted, it's still radioactive but it at least safe enough to go on a tour, with the obvious exception of the actual power plant.
I've been there this year for two days and a night and funny little known thing is that the "zone" is mostly anything BUT deserted since the town of chernobyl located about 18km from the powerplant has currently population of about 1500 workers who either work on new sarcophagus or on the powerplant itself. Its pretty safe to walk in short sleeved t-shirt and jeans on most places.
Actually the radiation level is now so low that there are tours through Pripyat. The most encouraging thing about the Chernobyl tragedy is the amazing resurgence of flora and fauna in the area. Numbers of individual animals and species have increased to an amazing level and the forests and lands around the site are flourishing. It shows how well nature can recover and rebound without the contamination of human presence.
The hospital looked where Hitler was treated looked like one of the old zombie maps in cod waw I forget the name of the map though I think it started with a V or something.
Pripyat is a very creepy but still very interesting place. Yes, you can call me crazy for these words but I'd love to visit it. The whole video is great. Nice job, dear WatchMojo
It's not abandoned, it's a tiny-iny little island, it's surrouned by water and people are always passing by in their Chalupas (small wooden boat) every day
No. 1. the abandoned town of Pripyat, for 32 years, derelict buildings full of old decaying furniture. Deserted in 1986 after the worlds worst nuclear explosion in CH NPP reactor 4
You should check out Rawhide Village in Gillette, Wyoming. The Wyondatte Coalmine destroyed the over 300 homes and only left the school in order to get to the coal.
@@baconoftheark She's Canadian, as are most of the crew of this channel, and she speaks with a city-raised accent.

@@russellbrown6888 where? I've never encountered any rural person that speaks like that. Also, it's a bit of an exaggeration to claim all rural Canadians speak in a similar way.
@@nollypolly1869 I am only slightly exaggerating. Most of rural Canada has a very similar accent and dialect, which is similar to what I described.

There are exceptions like in Newfoundland and the Territories, which have their own accents and dialects, but apart from these most of rural Canada sounds very similar.
Omg, I just realized that pripyat was the city in ghillied up! Remember the Ferris wheel, and remeber Macmillan saying "watch out for Pockets of radiation in the area"
Well I never thought that my hometown would be on a list of watchmojo xDD Lived my whole life in Beelitz (Beelitz-Heilstätten is not exactly in Beelitz) and there where a lot of suicides and Kind of a murder case as well. And yeah, it is really spooky but there are plans now to make it into a Museum and liveable houses again. But thanks mojo for getting us out there! and sorry about hitler...
Hashima Island would be a badass Call of Duty map. It looks like something out of Fallout. We all knew Pripyat would be number one, but Fukushima deserved a nod as well. It's in pretty much the exact same state, with the added benefit of the entire place being largely untouched, whereas Pripyat was looted dry and destroyed by urban explorers and graffiti artists. Literally, a time capsule of Japan at the time of the accident. Another good one you missed was the Sanzhi pod city, before they tore it down. It's a 1960s esque luxury vacation complex in China, with houses shaped like ufos. They abandoned work on it after a string of suicides and deaths during construction, and the whole place was said to be incredibly haunted. Fun video.
I've decided my next holiday will be to all the top 10 creepiest places in this video. Abandoned military site in Chernobyl is particularly eerie, and definitely no security guards patrolling it.
You should’ve had garnet Montana on this list. It’s a ghost town now but my grandma lived there as a child. It’s quite the place when you visit in person. It looks like you just went back in time to the 1800’s it’s rather amazing. It was a mining town but when the gold ran out the people left.
Check out Humberstone, in northern Chile, it's a ghost town.. And in front of it, there's another abandoned town and there's always noises there, probably for the wind, but still creepy..
No lie, I'm pretty impressed on how this lady pronounced most of these locations.
Rebecca is the best narrator they have

There are two types of gamers who know about Chernobyl/Pripyat:
Gamer 1: STALKER
Gamer 2; CoD 4: Modern Warfare
Get out of here stalker.

So if Chernobyl is so radioactive, how did you just walk up into there in Cod 4?
Through the power of it being a video game, I'd imagine.
The Twin Files makes sense
+Ant Unison you didn't walk through Chernobyl, you walked through Pripyat, which is the city located near. The city itself is not radioactive and there are actual people living there now. The radioactivity comes from the tanks, cars and helicopters used in the Chernobyl operation.
Ray Mcdonalds Why would anyone return there? You can't even eat the animals there. They're all radioactive.

I am surprised that Centralia, Pennsylvania was not on the list.
The place with the coal burning under ground?
Yes!
It's amazing that this fire has gone on for decades. It's a wonder that it hasn't spread past the town.

Yes, Centralia is the place that inspired it.

I can see them using Pripyat as a map for Battlefield 5

I'd like to go to Pripyat with an excursion one day. Radiation is still there, so at the age of 99 I'll be ready>
The radiation has died down significantly since then. Granted, it's still radioactive but it at least safe enough to go on a tour, with the obvious exception of the actual power plant.
The radiation levels are low enough for you to be there for 45 minutes maybe even an hour before the radiation starts to make you sick.
