  (#4) Hoia Baciu Forest In Transylvania

  The fact that it's located within Transylvania – which most outsiders like to think of as a Dracula theme park – automatically gives Hoia Forest a mysterious air that is alluring to ghoulish thrill seekers. But there's more than just a vampire legend hanging over this forest; over the years both strange disappearances and sightings have been recorded in the area, from a shepherd going missing with his flock of 200 sheep, to a military technician claiming to have seen a UFO in 1968, despite the fact that to do so was career suicide under Communist rule. With oddly shaped trees, reports of gripping fear and nausea, and people literally trying to find the entrance to another dimension within the forest, Hoia Forest seems to have something for everyone.

  (#2) The Screaming Dering Woods Of The UK

  This woodland stretch of Kent, located in South East England between the quaint villages of Smarden and Pluckley, is known to be the most haunted woods in the UK. Stories of horrifying tales and paranormal activities surround the harrowing folds of Dering Woods, including kidnappings, massacres, and cults.

  It has earned the nickname of the "Screaming Woods" from these stories, as shrieks and dark shadows are said to emerge from the foliage.

  (#11) Abysmal Waters Of The Devil's Kettle

  Minnesota is home to a beautiful waterfall that is equally as eerie and metaphysical as it is scientifically alluring. The glorious waters of the Brule River tumble downward into a seemingly endless pothole in the Earth, where countless objects and dyes have been tossed in an attempt to see exactly how far the water goes.

  A few theories circulate around it, and people think all sorts of natural events could have dug an underground stream for the water, but ultimately, the river itself still remains a mystery.

  (#14) The Shifting Racetrack Playa of Death Valley

  The massively dehydrated lake-bed that is Racetrack Playa, is located deep in Death Valley. Massive rocks that scatter the hardened Earth move across the bed, leaving a streak of chiseled ground in their wake. Although researchers have discovered that this is due to a shifting lake underneath the rock-hard crust, paranormal skeptics believe that this is the work of alien forces.

  (#7) Bermuda Triangle

  • Atlantic Ocean

  The Bermuda Triangle may not exactly be a tourist destination, since it covers about 500,000 square miles and has a rather iffy reputation, but the amount of strange things which have occurred there, many of which have little to no explanation, easily make this geographical location one of the strangest on Earth. Although there have been efforts in the 21st century to debunk the legends surrounding the Triangle, stories of planes going missing, of ships going off course, and other bizarre occurrences have left this stretch of open water with a creepy reputation it probably won't ever get rid of. Even Christopher Columbus, during his first journey to the New World, "reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up."

  (#12) The Blood Falls Of Taylor Glacier

  For years Taylor Glacier in Antarctica has been the site of one of the most unusual and strangely horrifying natural sights on this Earth: a bloody waterfall. While it's not actually blood pouring down the side of the glacier, the appearance of Blood Falls on the Taylor Glacier has left plenty of people wide-eyed and more than just a little creeped out since it was discovered in 1911. 

  In 2017 it was discovered that the red color is actually the result of oxidized iron in brine saltwater. The change occurs when the briney saltwater becomes exposed to oxygen, essentially dying the water a blood red color. While the explanation might make it a little less horrifying, it's still a bizarre phenomenon to witness.
