Not everyone has the bravery to visit a hair museum or a shrine dedicated to a terrifying mouse.
1. Doll Island, Mexico
Known as Isla de las Munesas or Doll Island, it may sound cute, but it's a choice for those who enjoy horror movies.
To commemorate the soul of a departed girl, the island's owner has collected hundreds of old, dirty, and eerie dolls hanging from the trees. These dolls are said to hold the spirit of the deceased girl and are enough to send shivers down the spine of the faint-hearted.
2. Bubblegum Alley, USA
Bubblegum Alley, also known as the 'chewing gum alley,' is one of the most unique tourist spots in the United States. Unlike other places where chewed gum is thrown into trash bins, in this alley, chewed gum sticks to the walls, creating a peculiar mural.
This gum wall has been constructed since the 1970s and continues to attract a large number of tourists to California.
3. Avanos Hair Museum, Turkey
While there are several quirky museums worldwide, the Avanos Hair Museum in Turkey is perhaps the most 'eccentric' and also the most frightening. From the ceilings and walls of cave structures beneath a pottery shop, the museum owner has hung thousands of hair items, creating a chilling scene reminiscent of Japanese horror films.
4. Capuchin Catacombs, Italy
Situated in the famous tourist city of Palermo on the southern Italian island of Sicily, the Capuchin Catacombs are another heart-stopping destination. Here, over 8,000 well-preserved corpses, dressed in full attire, are arranged in rows on the catacomb walls, allowing visitors to stroll and marvel at the sight.
5. Karni Mata Temple, India
The Karni Mata Temple, also known as the 'rat temple,' is a place most female tourists hesitate to visit. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Karni, who believed that her relatives never died but transformed into... rats. That's why at this temple, rats are considered sacred, cared for, worshipped, and allowed to roam freely inside and outside the temple!
6. Paris Sewer Museum, France
'There is another Paris right beneath the city, a Paris of the sewers.' That's what Victor Hugo wrote in his classic novel 'Les Misérables.'
In Paris, tourists can visit this unique sewer museum to admire the underground system and artifacts beneath the magnificent city. Especially, you can explore the underground locations described in Victor Hugo's masterpiece.
