Are you a fan of creepy stories? Do you get goose bumps when you hear about haunted houses, ghostly places, and abandoned hotels? If yes, then we have something interesting for you. There are certain places on earth that are so creepy that one feels fear even thinking about them. There are several such places scattered all over the world. Some of them have sinister pasts; some have eerie legends associated with them; and others just give out an eerily sinister vibe because they’re that freaking creepy! If you love reading spooky stories and looking into the mysterious side of things, here’s a list of 7 most mysterious places on earth that will send chills down your spine:

The Bermuda Triangle:
The Bermuda Triangle was discovered way back in the 1930s but it has attained mythical status in the 21st century for all the wrong reasons. This area in the Atlantic Ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda is supposedly a very dangerous place and has been responsible for numerous unexplained disappearances of ships, aircrafts, and swimmers. It is believed that electromagnetic anomalies, strange magnetic fields, and gases rising from the ocean floor are the cause of the mysterious disappearances. The Bermuda Triangle has been featured in many books, movies, and TV shows. It has been studied extensively but the causes for the disappearances continue to remain a mystery.

Shunka Maran's Tomb:
Shunka Maran’s Tomb is an ancient Buddhist structure located in Chinese Turkestan. The place is famous for its haunting story of a Buddhist monk who was murdered inside the tomb. It is believed that the monk was slowly bled to death and his blood was collected in a vial. In the 19th century, the tomb was broken into, and the vial was stolen. It was never found. A British archaeologist is said to have heard the monk’s dying screams and felt the monk’s presence in the tomb. The eerie story associated with the tomb along with the eerie presence of the monk’s ghost has made it one of the most mysterious places on earth.

Ruins of Synagogues in Iraq:
The ruins of synagogues in Iraq are one of the most mysterious places on earth. These ruins are more than a thousand years old and are remnants of a thriving Jewish community in Iraq. However, the Iraqi Jews were forced to flee the country after the creation of Israel. The Iraqi Jews have largely settled down in Israel and other Western countries. The ruins of these Jewish synagogues have acquired an eerie quality since the Jews have left behind their belongings. The ancient manuscripts, Torahs, and books are still there on the shelves of the libraries. The quaint quality of these places makes them mysterious, and one can only wonder about the history of the place.

Borck-Chongru Ruins:
The Borck-Chongru ruins are ruins of limestone buildings in the northeastern Indian state of Meghalaya. The ruins are said to be about 2000 years old. The place has an eerie feel to it as it is said that the skeletons of hundreds of women who were killed in an ancient massacre are still lying there. These women were killed because they were believed to be witches. These mysterious ruins are situated in a very remote area of Meghalaya and have not been excavated so far. The place has become a hotspot for paranormal enthusiasts who believe that the spirits of the women have been trapped in the place.

The Ruins of Praepura:
The Ruins of Praepura are mysterious ruins of a church in a very remote place in the Australia-Brazil border. The church was built in the 17th century by Jesuits, who were missionaries sent by the Pope to convert the natives and make them Christians. The church was later abandoned and has now turned into ruins. The place is said to be haunted by the ghosts of Australian aborigines who were killed in a massacre there.

Sedna-II Research Station:
Sedna-II Research Station is a research station located in the Arctic Ocean. The place is also a very mysterious place. It is one of the coldest places on earth. The temperature as well as the conditions at this place are so harsh that it is almost impossible for humans to survive there. The research station is meant to house scientists who study the underwater creatures during the summer months when the water becomes ice-free. However, there is a very eerie quality to the place. One of the reasons why Sedna-II Research Station is so mysterious is because it is situated in such a remote area that is almost inaccessible in the winter months. Another reason why it is so mysterious is because it is surrounded by a very dark and cold ocean that is filled with sea creatures that are unknown to humans.
