Do you Know Where is "The Door to Hell"?

Yep, "The Door to Hell" really exists. Creepy? Yep, this is not a hoax.  It's located at Darvaz, Uzbekistan. An underground cavern was found 35 years ago in this small town, but miners and site drillers weren't able to dig down dipper because of the gas inside the den. So, they just tried to lit the place up thinking that the gas content of the cavern will eventually subside. But over 35 years, the place is still burning like a hell. It only shows, that the den has too much gas that the fire did not stopped since it was lit up.

The ghost town buried in the sand

48 years ago, Centralia (Pennsylvania) was exposed in vein of anthracite. The fire was extinguished successfully but the coal underneath still burns until now. the smokes created by the fire underneath the town covers the place as if an abandoned haunted village. Centralia will still expect to be ghostly looking for more than 250 years because of the volume of coal chich continue to burn underneath.

Another ghostly town, Kolmanskop located in Southern Namibia near the port of Luderitz.  Upon the discovery of the expensive diamond on the sandy desert, people rushed into the Naim b dessert to make an easy fortune, until the town was filled with buildings and establishments such as schools, hospitals residential buildings and casinos. But after World War II, there have been a big decrease and disinterest in sales of diamond, residents left the town and became big dunes of sands. Now, the place looks like a creepy town and all you hear is a ghostly, and creepy sound of doors blown by whistling winds.



Before Christianity spread throughout Lithuania and Russia, pagans   believed that when planting up their crosses literally on this hill will lessen their burdens and would get lucky in his entire life.  The story goes throughout the decades, until the hill was filed with more than 50, 0000 crosses. The hill now, looks like a haunted cemetery but it isn't a burying ground at all.

First ever sink holes was discovered in forests of Russia. Mysteriously, during 1980s there has not much explanation about these endless holes. But eventually, after many appearances of these natural created holes, geologists finally discovered that these were all result of soft soil foundation underneath the solid soil structure of earth.
