1. Pripyat, Ukraine
Pripyat, once a thriving Soviet city, became a ghost town overnight after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The radioactive fallout rendered the area uninhabitable, leaving behind eerie, untouched remnants of everyday life.
The crumbling buildings, rusted Ferris wheel, and abandoned schools make Pripyat one of the most terrifying places on Earth. It’s a chilling reminder of the disaster’s scale, with nature slowly reclaiming the desolate streets.
