This is an abandoned island that legend says was formed by the ashes of the thousands upon thousands infected by the bubonic plague.

And today we're looking at 10 real and terrifying places that are scarier than any horror movie.

They believe they would look into their hearts and they would become penitent if they spent enough time in isolation.

But of course, what it did instead was just kind of drive people insane.

Centralia, USA it all began back in May 1962, when local officials unwittingly sparked sparked an underground fire.

A fire that would make the town uninhabitable.

What happens when your hometown becomes a literal hellscape?

Centralia was once a small mining community in Pennsylvania until a coal seam fire ignited beneath it in 1962.

And the fire spread from the garbage through an opening in the pit that went into this labyrinth of abandoned coal mines beneath the town.

And that's how the mine fire got started.

The fire still burns to this day, releasing toxic fumes and turning the town into a smoldering wasteland.

Streets are cracked, homes are in ruins, and

nearly every resident has been evacuated, turning it into a ghost town.

Smoke still seeps from the ground and the eerie silence reigns where life once thrived.

In fact, Centralia served as a major inspiration in designing the town for the film November 74.

When the fire caught, they tried to evacuate this place as quick as they could.

But it was hellish, people were dying and disappearing.

Hell, they couldn't even find half the bodies.

Saltpeter Works CHILE Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert sit the abandoned mining towns of Humberstone and Santa Laura.

One spooning with workers extracting valuable saltpeter, also known as white gold.

These towns collapsed after the synthetic version was invented and demand evaporated.

Residents fled, leaving behind rusted machinery, creaking playgrounds, and eerily intact buildings.

That said, these buildings are mere shells of what they once were, haunting and decaying remnants of times gone by.

Walk through empty schools and silent factories and you'll feel like you've stepped into a post apocalyptic film set.

Only it's much scarier because it's real.

The town's ghostly stillness and true sense of isolation are enough to make any visitor's skin crawl.

The 25 Cromwell Street England 25 Cromwell street in Gloucester has become one of the most infamous addresses in Britain.

For 20 years, Fred and Rose west quenched their appetite for sex and murder inside this house of unimaginable horror.

Oftentimes, the most horrifying places aren't haunted by spirits.

At 25 Cromwell street in Gloucester, England, Fred and Rosemary west committed a string of gruesome murders during the 70s and 80s, luring young women into their home for tormenting and murdering them and burying their remains around the property.

It's horrible to think that there are, you know, dead bodies in a garden just down the road.

Among the victims was the couple's own daughter, Heather.

And when their crimes went public, the house became a symbol of pure evil and was demolished in 1996 to erase its sinister legacy.

Today, all that remains are some chilling photographs, including some absolutely haunting pictures of the basement where the victims were taken and murdered by the sinister couple.

On March 4, 1994, police moved their search inside the house.

They had a feeling that down in the dark cellar, they may uncover even more bodies.

Nicknamed Battleship Island, Hashima lies off the coast of Japan, its crumbling buildings rising from the sea like a concrete ghost ship.

Once a bustling coal mining colony owned by Mitsubishi, it housed thousands of workers packed into narrow apartment blocks.

But when the mines closed in the mid-1970s, everyone left and the island was completely abandoned.

Decades of exposure have left it frozen in decay.

With collapsed walls, broken windows, and eerily empty classrooms, the silence is deafening.

For years, Hashima was completely off limits to the public, though it's now open to limited tours.

And its haunting beauty inspired Silva's villain lair in Skyfall.

Hashima feels like walking in humanity's footprint.

After the Apocalyp, The Tower of London, England.

These ancient fortifications, set in grounds the same size as those of the White House, are far more than just a castle.

Tourists may come for the crown jewels, but many leave convinced they've met a ghost.

The Tower of London has stood for nearly a millennium and has seen centuries of imprisonment, excruciating pain, and

A near inescapable prison incarcerating all who angered the sovereign ruler of the day.

Its most famous spirits include Anne Boleyn, said to roam the grounds carrying her own severed head, and

the princes in the Tower, two young boys who were likely murdered by Richard iii.

But even if you don't believe in all that, you can't deny the tower's heavy atmosphere.

The stones are ancient, and the cold is relentless.

Both literally and symbolically, It's a royal fortress, an execution ground, a brutal prison, and a paranormal hotspot.

Prison conditions at the tower do vary enormously.

People have this vision of sort of dungeons and rats, and certainly for some people, that's true.

It really does depend on your social status.

It if you had nothing, this could be a really horrible, horrible, cold, nasty place.

Eastern State Penitentiary, USA I would define dark tourism as a site or institution whose history or content or subject matter has to do with something morbid.

These kinds of things opened back in 1829.

Eastern State Penitentiary revolutionized prison design.

One look is enough to send chills through your blood.

But mainly, it helped popularize solitary confinement as a form of rehabilitation, locking inmates in near total isolation.

Eastern state's often known as the world's first true penitentiary.

And what that means is a building designed to inspire regret.

And a big part of how the prison officials did that was, again, through architecture.

The outside of the building resembles a gothic castle.

The result, Widespread mental health issues and endless suffering.

But the echoes of its horrid past remain.

Peeling paint, rusty cell doors, endless hallways, and a cold, damp air, creating a highly unnerving atmosphere.

And yes, paranormal investigators have flocked here for decades, calling it one of the most haunted places in America.

This is scarier than any gothic horror movie.

Now, is this how these guys were locked in here, by these kind of doors?

There was a metal door on the inside and a wooden door on the outside.

So the metal door would have swung closed, and

the sliding wooden door keeps them from talking across the hall.
