- Everywhere you journey
to in life has a past and while many of them may
be pleasant and positive, there are just as many places with brutal, dark and even bloody pasts, that many say retain that
dark energy to this day, those places are what some
would consider to be cursed and the following places are those that you should never attempt to visit. (light eerie music) Here are 10 Cursed Places
You Should Never Visit. (light eerie music) Number 10 is La Llorona Creek. (light eerie music) There are hidden, remote
locations in California, which used to be part of Old Mexico. Today backpackers and others in the know warn others not to stray into those areas, because they are simply cursed. Numerous travelers, who
have been unlucky enough to visit the wrong stretches of Trabuco Creek near San Juan Capistrano have run afoul of the La Llorona, La Llorona means the Weeping Woman, she's the vengeful spirit of a woman, who murdered her own children and is cursed to walk the area, where she committed the terrible crime. Unaware backpackers have
wandered into her territory and paid the ultimate price, rumors persist, that
disappearances in the area are directly attributable to
the terrifying Weeping Woman. Of those who have escaped,
they've been shaken to the core and warned all others to
stay away for their own good. Number nine is Scott's Hut. (light eerie music) Scott's Hut is found in Antarctica, the most desolate, but
deadly place on earth, but despite being so remote, Scott's Hut is reportedly cursed and while some have been
brave enough to visit, many warn not to go there at all. The hut was built in a
place called Cape Evans in Ross Island, it's made of wood and was to serve as a base for operations for Robert Falcon Scott's fatal mission to reach the South Pole
in the early 1900s. While Scott and his team
made it to the Pole, they all died on the way back, in fact, there is a cross that exists outside the hut to honor the dead. Since then, that place has been plagued by footsteps, voices in the bitter winds and even a plane crash back in 1979 on the same island, which
killed all 257 people on board. The entire area is cursed
and it's said that the ghosts of perished explorers
are drawn to that area. Number eight is the Patomskiy Crater. (light eerie music) The Patomskiy Crater is a huge
landmark in Siberia, Russia, which baffles scientists. Many believe it has a
paranormal origin and is cursed. The crater is a large mound
of shattered limestone blocks and measures 160 meters across and 40 meters high. The origin of the formation
is a complete mystery with scientists recently
ruling out an asteroid impact. It was discovered in 1949 by
Vadim Kolpakov by accident, the locals had directed
him in that general area, as they wouldn't enter it, because they called it the Devil's Place, a name it continues to have to this day. Stories abound by people being afflicted by something in the
ground making them go mad, theories range from a UFO impact to the crater being dug by
a secret Stalin death camp, but those living nearby know
that the place is cursed and is not to be taken lightly. Number seven are Hanging Coffins. (light eerie music) Throughout China, a strange custom of hanging coffins from very high places was once popular among the
Indigenous peoples there and some now believe that the locations of the dead are cursed. Many of the coffins have
since been discovered with some dating back centuries. 131 of them were recently found in 2015, carved into a rock face
over 1200 years old, it's believed that those
buried in the coffins are less likely to haunt the living, when placed into a cliff side in this way, but stories abound of vandalism and other desecrations of these graves. Such upheaval has
resulted in angry spirits, which encourage visitors to throw themselves from the cliff side. There are also accounts of people visiting the Hanging Coffins only to find that one of the spirits
has followed them home, just to cause havoc in their lives. Number six is Dudleytown. (light eerie music) Dudleytown was once a small
settlement in Cornwall, Connecticut, it thrived in the 1740s, but since it was abandoned in the 1800s, many have come to believe that
the entire area is cursed. The remains of the town lie in a valley known as the Dark Forest, given its name due to
the strange dark shadows, which cast from the surrounding mountains. Not much has survived
of the original town, just a few cellar holes and
fragments of structures, but what does remain is the
town's infamous reputation as a haunted hotspot, numerous accounts claim
that the remote location is home to terrifying creatures
and demonic apparitions. While the official account
states that the area is closed to the public to
protect it from vandalism, many believe that because of
the evil that lurks there, it is simply too dangerous. Number five is the Lumsden Mansion. (light eerie music) Some paranormal experts
believe that locations absorb the terrible acts
that are committed there, many then experience these horrible events in the form of dark, brooding moods, as such, these stained
places can become so marred by tragic occurrences,
that they've become cursed. This is the case with the Lumsden Mansion in Cheshire, England, in
2005, successful lawyer, Christopher Lumsden killed
his wife in their bedroom, Lumsden used a knife to
murder his wife brutally, though he was eventually found to have diminished responsibility and talked about the killing as though something had
influence over him there. Ever since, the house has laid empty, its long grass lawns are
overgrown, its windows boarded up and locals now believe
that the house is so cursed that anyone who moves in
will suffer a similar fate. Number four is the Sonae Factory. (light eerie music) Many believe that a series of accidents at the Sonae Factory in Knowsley, England are the direct result of
the place being cursed. An investigation into the accidents found that between the year 2000 and 2010, there had been 22
seperate major accidents, these included an explosion
releasing toxic gas, the pollution of local rivers
with a strange, white liquid and two workers being
pulled into a machine and ground into pieces. In June of 2011, there was
a fire, which spewed toxins into the atmosphere,
affecting 18,000 people. During the clean up, a
demolition expert was killed trying to remove damaged
parts of the building. A second fire broke out in 2012, resulting in the factory
finally being shut. The ground has been sold for development, however many people refuse to go there, because the place has been
cursed by an unseen evil force. Number three is the Lake
Shawnee Amusement Park. (light eerie music) The Lake Shawnee Amusement
Park in Southern West Virginia was abandoned in 1966 and
has remained derelict, because many people believe
the place is cursed. It's easy to see why so
many people avoid the park, considering its macabre history, the park was built on an old
piece of Native American land, which was the site of a bloody
conflict during the 1700s, this conflict resulted
in settlers' children being kidnapped and burned alive. In the 1920s, a few rides
were built on the site, but a little girl died
in an accident on a swing and soon after a boy drowned in the amusement park's swimming pool, several more have died through the years, until the park was finally
shut down for good. Now the rotting rides stand as
a testament to those who died and many believe their
spirits walk the grounds, lamenting their cursed fate. Number two is the Halloween Pen. (light eerie music) There is a strange tunnel
in Scotland, which is cursed and has the sinister
name, The Halloween Pen, it can be found in the
Maryhill suburb of Glasgow. Some think that the tunnel is part of an old, abandoned railway network, but it was actually carved through a hill to let sheepherders move their cattle. Various stories abound about
the tunnel's haunted history, including the tunnel
being the gathering point of a secret, Satanic group,
which would carry out a dark ritual each Halloween. Several people have died inside
the tunnel and at its mouth, some of those people died from stab wounds and others were found to have overdosed. Occasionally a light can be seen inside the tunnel from a distance, which some believe to be
the light from candles used in an ongoing Satanic rite and number one is Gaiola Island. (light eerie music) The island of Gaiola can be
found off the coast of Italy and is the site of a
powerful and enduring curse. During the 18th century, the island was home to
a mysterious hermit, who was referred to by
the locals as a wizard. After his death, a villa was built there by a man called Hans Braun, in the 1920s, Hans' body was found
wrapped up in an old rug, following this, his wife drowned. The next owner fared little better, dying of a heart attack on the island, then another owner went
mad and committed suicide, as did the son of a subsequent resident. Other tragedies befell Paul
Getty, who bought the island only for his grandson to suddenly die. No one is quite sure of
why the curse prevails, but the villa has remained
empty for some time and few are brave enough to live there, for fear that the curse will consume them as well as their loved ones. Thank you for watching,
