7. Glenwood Power Plant
Looking creepy enough to be used as a filming location for horror movies, this power plant has been abandoned since its closure in 1963. The plant was built to provide electricity for the New York Central Railroad tracks and became operational in 1906. The structure was abandoned for 50 years and today is littered with graffiti and almost completely empty. Recently the Goren Group started a project to convert the building into an arts-focused events complex that will include a hotel, restaurants, and a marina.
6. Oradour-sur-Glane
Technically this village was never abandoned. The inhabitants of the town were slaughtered on June 10, 1944, when a Nazi company massacred 642 of its residents, including 247 women and 205 children. French president Charles de Gaulle ordered the village to be maintained in its original state as a permanent memorial and historical site after the war. Today the village endures as a popular tourist site, with many people claiming to see ghostly figures roaming the vacant streets late at night.
5. Florida Dome Homes
Once upon a time, these dome homes were the self-sustaining, state of the art dwellings of an oil tycoon. Today they lie abandoned and run down, a mere shell of their former greatness. Oil producer Bob Lee built the futuristic homes as a vacation spot on Cape Romano for his family in the 1980’s. The problem with Florida beachfront property is that it can be susceptible to hurricanes, which often plague the area. The Dome Homes were severely damaged several times and after requests to build a seawall were denied the property was ultimately abandoned.
4. Port Arthur
Said to be one of the most haunted places in Australia, Port Arthur in Tasmania has seen plenty of tragedy and death in its time. The port was a penal colony in the mid-1800’s and was home to some of the hardest British criminals and had some of the strictest security measures in the British penal system. Much like Alcatraz Island, it was often billed as an inescapable prison. In 1996 28-year-old Martin Bryant went on a killing spree in the small town in which 35 people died, making it the worst mass murder in the country's post-colonial history. This event led to a severe crackdown on firearms throughout the nation in which 640,000 weapons were turned into authorities.
3. The Bhangarh Fort
Often dubbed the most haunted place in India, this 17th-century fort is completely ruined today. There are many myths about the place that have added to its haunted reputation. According to legend, a wizard is said to have cursed the fort and everyone in it after being rejected by a princess with whom he had fallen in love. The curse endures to this day and there are plenty of people who have reportedly had contact with ghosts or felt evil spirits when visiting the area.
2. Willard Asylum
This hospital opened in 1869 as Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane in New York. The first patient was a woman named Mary Rote, who had spent the previous 10 years of her life chained up in a room. The asylum helped improve her condition and by 1890 the hospital had over 2000 patients. By this time the location had become completely self-sufficient. Patients grew their own food and tended to their own medical needs. There were even a morgue, a cemetery and a bowling alley on site. A huge push for deinstitutionalization occurred throughout the country in the 1990’s, leading to the asylum’s closure in 1995. Over half of the 50,000 or so patients who called Willard Asylum, their home also died there. Since the asylum closed its doors it has become widely recognized as a haunted location.
1. Pripyat
The infamous Chernobyl disaster of 1986 left an entire city which once had a population of nearly 50,000 completely abandoned. Thanks to the high amounts of radiation that escaped during the terrifying event the land is sure to remain untouched for hundreds of years. Chernobyl was the worst nuclear accident in history. While two human deaths occurred during the actual event, hundreds of thousands of people and animals in the area are thought to have been affected detrimentally by the high amounts of radiation exposure that the accident caused.
that number count down sound effect is fucking annoying.
hahaha I agree, that made me laugh for real
Paul Colbourne shut up
yeap
Firgate Firgate no you shut up... im getting you are recess
agree
Thanks for putting the circle in the thumbnail. I wouldn't have seen the place without it
My grandparents used to live in an old castle in Austria (Schloss Spielfeld; housing for poor families after the war). My grandmother told me many stories of 'Klara', who once lived in the castle and was still roaming the halls as a ghost... When I slept over at my grandparent's as a child, I always woke up under the bed. Although I never really saw anything, I was terrified to sleep there.
Me: I'mma watch this.
First location: Doll factory
Me: Nope
Great video, very informative, thanks for posting
An urban explorer who went through Château Miranda claims that it's been torn down. It was a really cool castle. It just suffered from fire and water damage. Before it was demolished, it was a very dangerous place to explore. Many of the floors were gone and explorers would have to navigate over exposed floor joists.
When places are abandoned I think it's kind of sad for most of the stuff I'd be very happy to see the old stuff remodeled or new stuff built.
I would love to live in any of these places!
Really u want to be haunted?
Me too
Then, what stopping you from doing it?
Keyboard warrior
Even Chernobyl?
I like this video except for the annoying chime
::: xxx
I agree. It just sounds...off, like a cell phone ring's chime sound.
::: xxx and?

For the love of everything that is holy, chill out! That's all the person wanted to say. It's just a person expressing his or her feelings and making a comment People are allowed to do that, you know? If you don't agree with it or don't like his comment, there's no need to be a smart mouth.
I made a comnent also...what's your point??,
My point is that you're getting irritated over NOTHING. What more do you want? The person said all that they wanted to. Also, what the heck was the point of your first comment, huh? Oh, you just wanted to get attention, by being a trolling ass. My bad, 🤤 duuuuh! You have a bit of drool coming out of your mouth. Oh, you're use to that, aren't you?
With 181 kilos of cocaine, that was one hell of a HIGH flying magic carpet ride.

Yeaaaaaah, whatever. 😒
kinda scary. in 2001 one I was there with my parents xD
The picture of a seagull flying free outside of Alcatraz where people fantasized about being free is almost poetic.
Great video, thank you very much
The Dome Homes are now completely surrounded by water. Erosion at its finest
The state wants them removed now? I think they offer a nice structure for the fish.
I think the state is just going to leave them because as the water rises they will become artificial reefs
Beckah Mataronas
They are holding a lot of fish now and I don't see any point in removing them.
the first one is called "The Eye of the Storm" . they will outlast any wooden structure
I used to party at the dome homes and camped overnight several times. There was also a pyramid home and a house on stilts there. By 1995 the pyramid was gone but the house on stilts was about 50 yards out in
the Gulf of Mexico. By 2000 the domes were half in the water. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Romano_Dome_House
I could be wrong but number 12 spreepark looks like a filming spot for the movie "Anna", number 8 Chateau Miranda looks the home of MCs in the movie "The Others", and number 7 Glenwood powerplant seems like Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed was recorded there. If the movies weren't actually filmed at these exact locations I believed they heavely inspired the movie makers.
I thoroughly enjoyed the content, the audio and the layout. I like that you get straight to the point and give me the meat instead of talking & talking .....
great video!
"Half the 50,000 patients of Willard Asylum nearly died there". Does that mean none of them died? That would be quite an achievement.
Try changing your tone when speaking. I vagued out half way through.
Yah
Great video
There is nothing scary about the #5 dome homes. They are in my area and I see them often while boating.
i got to walk around them a few times before they were completely surrounded by water
peterbiltnation 379
I remember them always being there when I was a very young kid and I'm 41 now.
Have you explored them?
I would love to see a floorplan and some before and after pictures.
Jenny M
There was a write up on them with pictures when they were lived in. Just do a search on google.
Strange, but not scary.
Absolutely FASCINATING and truly the definition of BITTERSWEET.
3:23 #8 : Chateau Miranda, which was located in Belgium, has been entirely demolished in mid November 2016.
That's too bad, it was beautiful on the outside and known as one of the worlds most haunted castles
very informative and interesting...!!
Very interesting 👍🏻
I'm not ashamed to say I would never stay the night in the doll factory F-that
•Jo• you are however ashamed to use the word fuck
Unlike the word "fuck".
I'd stay the night in you
I would
Max and akari are weak ppl who can't handle the word fuck
Actually some 30 or so people died from the immediate accident at Chernobyl. It just took them a week or two to succumb as their bodies fell apart.
Oh goodness.
I don't get it
Why are any of them scary? I'm not getting the fear effect. It could be the notification sound...
YO IVE BEEN TO THE ABANDONED FLORIDA DOME HOMES, I jet skied by their a few years back and I saw them up close and it was crazy to see
Im from Naples,...just sayn'
Dude. LOSE the annoying synth pluck between topics.
I didn't even notice it; but because so many comments have mentioned it, I went back to listen for it. Still doesn't bother me🤷🏾♀️
Dude. Lose that ugly face of yours
@@goatmansasquatch1485 good one 🦹🏿♂️
Piercing
@Hamdon Nut HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
very interesting....creepy yet very sad that something wasn't done to preserve these buildings and put them to good use
this is all so amazing
3:11-4:33 hey did you make the background music yourself or did you find it somewhere? Because I really enjoy the melody that's in the Bell sound and I'd like to cut out the violins and just add 808 drums and some soft snyth sounds and make a beat out of it for SoundCloud
change the sound that plays when you say a new list number
Willard Asylum has become a prison. It is a 90-day SHOCK facility. If you don't know what that is, it is a Marine-style "bootcamp" for non-violent, and mostly drug offenders, which if they violate their parole from being released from the SIX month program SHOCK which is hard hard hard. I myself did 6 month SHOCK in Buffalo NY. Some of the staff I had came from Willard and said it was haunted. I know people that have been sent there, and they say it's creepy. The old Asylum\hospital is empty, but still very "active", so they say. I figure why not tell of the place if I know of it. Gives it another layer, you know?
You're right, Teresa. Thanks for sharing.
you're welcome. I live in upstate NY, and know about a lot of creepy haunted places. I am one of those people that have a thirst for trivia and will gladly share...Check out The Utica Asylum, the TB place in the Adirondacks, lots of weird old villages from Colonial times. Just a thought, if you feel the need to hunt for something that people haven't seen ot heard about yet.
Gosh, you are lucky. I'd love to live in anywhere but where I do. I live in Texas, the state of perpetual summer. Seriously, we have 9 months of summer and for the other three months days in the 80s are not uncommon and we have a sprinkling of cold days scattered through out the 3 months, but seldom more than two at a time. If you hear of cheap rentals (I'm retired) that is animal friendly let me know. Congratulations on completing the course. I hope you have a good life.
my brother lived in Texas, and my guy just came back from living there for eight years. Believe me, there are days when we all want perpetual summer. when it's 10° BELOW zero with a wind chill that makes it feel like 20° below zero, we all hate it. I have to admit that watching the seasons change and when it's this time of year, it's beautiful here. first snowfalls and the Christmas lights are everywhere, it's worth seeing..
teresa sparks America sure loves it's harsh outdated penal system eh? check out what Western Europe countries are doing to improve their justice system. meanwhile here we have millions of gangs thugs and giant prisons turned into TV shows for the masses.. pathetic!
LOVE those dome homes! 😍
Interesting. Thank you.
3:38 my favourite house but its haunted places so..... but i love it😉
" a wizard cursed the fort " .
fuck this shit i'm out.
so cool!!!
Interesting Video
Interesting places. The castle is sad that it's abandoned.
I didn't like the noise between videos, not good for my sensitive heart.

Then don't watch it
I'm so so sorry you had to endure those sounds.. Prayers and thoughts go out to you and your loved ones during this traumatizing time in your life.. I hope someday you'll be ok

Theoretically while the Cape Romano Dome House was abandoned, it is currently an active reef therefore making it a inhabited location.
Im from Naples...just sayn'
Where did you get all this info??? I so love you.
Hey mate,
What software are you using to make these videos?
Cheers, Leigh.
So... you consider a giant hole in the ground scary?
D Shade don't think you heard depths..
it was made by Stalin's orders so..........
well it DOES suck helicopters
Living by that tho ._.'

Florida Dome Homes.. I was waiting for Murlocs to attack!
Narrator : Doll factory is really spooky
Chucky : are u kidding me ??
I can't explained why my heart was beating faster than normal , watching this with the sound 😂😂
I love abandoned buildings. There is a certain beauty to them.
Nice presentation 😊
4:30 has been 1 of my fave history facts
I will not stay in doll factory
why does everyone complain about everything In the comments. don't watch if it bothers you that much.
Shut up bitch
TH-cam allows it so relax
Some people cannot experience joy unless they're making others miserable
Sarah Kay I know right
Well said sister
Interesting video I like it Not really scary places but still interesting
nice video
Narration needs some work. It sounds like you're reading an essay in front of a class.
some of these arent scary at all
Most aren't
The skyscraper is excellent
Wow! Interesting.
Port Arthur is not truly abandoned it is a tourist attraction, but it certainly does have a sad and tragic past.
Screw the other buildings the doll factory should be first if I was there for at least 5 minutes I would have passed out or just start running as fast as I can out of the factory.
Yolo God pussy
I love Light houses and I might put one in my yard.
Jess Tarriero
* builds full sized 230ft lighthouse in front yard *
So scary but somehow beautiful
I used to live near a significantly smaller big-ass man-made hole called Helm's Pit. Saved part of the town when it flooded. They imported some beach sand, installed a playgrounds, tables, & grass, turned it into a beach park in the middle of the desert. Then houses & a mall went up near it.
I know where those dome houses are and they are all half way submerged under water because of the erosion, I've never heard of them being haunted or scary they are just there and people visit them jut to see them..... it's definitely not one of the scariest places on earth at all
"Doll factory" haha hell no bai
i love your vidos
I've been to the domes with my family. Each time we visit, which is like once a year, the water has came up into them more and more. It really is amazing though
Fell into 'despair.'
Its like more than a minor problem, the ongoing universal pronunciation errors in native English speaking narrators. The problem is they are reading this off a sheet and not going over it and publishing it. Morons though. like they and everyone listening have never heard these words before.
matt mammone Thank you, Matt!!!

The word "penal" is pronounced PEE-NULL, not "PIN-ALL"
it was driving me crazy how he keeps saying pen all. Xx'
Joe thank you....yikes he seems to be somewhat educated us think hed know that....but yes he sounds ridiculous
it depends on if you are British, and/ or whatnot. (and no one needs U to point that out~"teacher" of ???) LOL do YOU think we are all idiots except YOURSELF?
Who are you talking to? Since when is "penal" pronounced "pin-AL" or "pin-ALL" in England...? And why does it matter? The narrator is speaking with an American accent.
Lori Jamroz I think u are taking it a bit rough...he is correct in the pronouncing of the word....where as the narrator is not...and like he said...even if it was different in a British accent, the poster is obviously not speaking in a British accent. hey I give u credit for wanting to stick up for the guy...but there's nothing to defend here...he was just trying to save him from sounding like an idiot in the future I think...and I too found it to be a little funny...don't be so serious girl! relax!
Tbh the number countdown sound is more scary than any of these places
Port Arthur I've been there and the feeling of being watched is really high, in the old jail block you can feel the hunting power there and at the cafe that the mass shooting was in
Chateau Miranda does not exist anymore :(
Demolishing started in 2016 (in may i believe). For what i know now, only the ground floor is still standing, but will be gone soon..
:(
The Berlin amusement park is not scary at all. I live there. It's a nice place to chill.
@Fuzzy Butkus I don't get your comment. If such stuff was found in a place one time, that doesn't mean it's laying around there all the time. You can find drugs anywhere. Also, this still doesn't make it a "scary place", drugs are party of society, although it's damn sad. The park has no spooky vibe to it at all - been there dozens of times. It's a beautiful place. No haunted feels to it. Not every abandoned place is scary just because it's abandoned, and that's what I wanted to point out because the maker of the video has probably never been to the Spreepark himself yet calls it creepy.
This is cool
# KnowledgeFeed good work
7:15 face in window
I've been to the Dome homes and they are not scary 😂
Journey Brown spreepark allso. Dont know how anyone think its scary 😂
Hahaha that's the only reason I came to this video! I literally camped in them for 3 days in 2013. Had a great time, nothing scary at all except for maybe the abundance of sharks. Lol
The castle has fallen into despair? Oh, that's so sad.
I went to the dome homes about 10 years ago. Pretty cool place. Not safe to go in though since lots of the floors are falling through. Good scuba diving off the shore though.
Penal is pronounced Pee nal with the accent on the first syllable. The push to close massive mental asylums began in the late 1960s with the introduction of psychotropic drugs and was fairly complete by the 1980s. Any that were still open after that housed only a fraction of their initial population. Most of the radiation has disappeared from Pripyat and many scientists journey there now for research purposes, so the 100s of years myth is disproved. And surprise!! Tourist groups are now taken on trips through Pripyat. Although there was an initial and heartbreaking die off of animals and plants the absence of people has allowed all the wild life, both flora and fauna, to flourish and thrive and various species abound in the area profiting from the absence of humans, the great destroyers.
Spreepark looks like where they filmed the finally of the film 'Hanna"
because it actually is, lol
They did!
That doll factory is my worst nightmare
Omg spreepark was in one of the scenes in one of my favourite movies, "Hanna" at the end of the movie. Im just hearing of spreepark for the first time.
Half of these places were left abandoned because of money
"Penal" is pronounced "Pee-nal" not "Pinal".
You all sound as if you are the experts at spelling penis. I mean penal.
LOL W
And buildings fall into disrepair. Only people 'fall into despair'.
Whoever is narrating this seems to have a third grade level of comprehension...
Crowgrl Temprano That's generous. Unless of course he repeated grade 2. Over and over ad nauseam.
You had me at Dolls-"
Lol he says the Castle fell into despair. Um I think it’s “disrepair”
Despair could work because despair means a total loss of hope.
There’s a lot he says wrong, let’s not get too nit picky here
@@megariz89 He said Charles DeGow!! Ha ha..have to nit pick now & then.
like the video man its really really good but maybe try and sound a Lil more into it
It's pronounced "pee-nal", not "pennal"
Yes, and I think the castle fell into "dis-repair", not "despair".
I noticed that too. TH-cam is the bastion of amateurs, and I'm glad it exists. A little grace is necessary. When I listen to my own videos I cringe, but it's the best I can do.
I suppose, but still, it's a pretty common word, even for an amateur.
Curby Weaver I would probably cringe at my own products too, if I had them, so point taken re a little grace.
David Broughall You sure it isn't penile😨
It's crazy how many people have died at these abandoned places.
What is so scary about these areas. This person must be easily frightened
What's a peh-nal colony? Do you you mean penal?

Château Miranda aka Château de Noisy was demolished in October 2017. The only thing left standing on the site is the sculptures that sat either side where the original gate was.
I recognized the thumbnail/dome homes because when I visit my grandparents, we always see those domes on my grandfather's boat. They're in pretty bad shape since I last saw them and they have graffiti EVERYWHERE.
Where exactly is the fear?
stupidaccountsoicanpost the fear is in the stupidity of those who choose to let imagery intimidate them...
those who can't do are Free to be critical... those who TRY should be rewarded... just sayin
what's scary about some of these locations like the some buildings they are domes that are abandoned so scary.
3 my favorite seen it was amazing on a trip
that last place was used in call of duty
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is all about those places
Your right i play call of duty that is used in call of duty!
