The most abandoned place in the world. Railway depot in Czestochowa, Poland. Video about the scariest abandoned places on the planet

Stalking is a very popular type of hobby these days, covering more and more people who want to get some adrenaline and feel the atmosphere of abandoned places. On the Internet, we often see breathtaking photographs of abandoned places around the world, where eternal silence reigns, where nature begins to win back what man has taken from her.

In fact, it is not at all necessary to go on a long and expensive trip for a stalker, and if you are not a fan of such outings, then we suggest you just enjoy our selection of the scariest places that can be found right in Russia.

1. Abandoned submarine dock

Huge open spaces and at the same time closed spaces. The sound of water and the echo of waves in the lifeless walls. This shelter for submarines began to be built in Pavlovsk, Primorsky Krai, in the middle of the 20th century. The construction was given as much as 20 years, but in the early 80s, construction was suspended due to an outflow of funding. In 1991, the United States and Russia signed an agreement under which the countries pledged to disarm, and this underwater base was finally abandoned.

According to the stories of local stalkers, in some rooms of the base there is an increased background of radiation, so if you are suddenly going there on a trip, it is better to play it safe.

2. Khovrinskaya hospital, Moscow

Hospitals have always been a favorite place for stalkers and ghost hunters to visit. No wonder, because this is not an easy hospital, the authorities decided to build it right on the site of the cemetery in 1980, but abandoned this idea halfway through. The building remained unfinished, and poor organization to strengthen the soil and ensure the strength of the foundation led to the fact that the structure is still shrinking.

This place was chosen by teenagers who identify themselves with various subcultures. If you know for sure that you want to communicate with the spirits of the dead, then you are here.

3. Russian Valley of Death

Think Death Valley is only in the US? In fact, there are similar places in other parts of the planet, albeit not so cruel. For example, Death Valley in Kamchatka was discovered in the mid-70s of the last century. Hydrogen sulfide, carbon disulfide and carbon dioxide escape from cracks in the ground. Such a hellish mixture is dangerous for living organisms, so the ground here is often littered with the corpses of careless animals who did not pay attention to the unusual smell.

A person from here, most likely, will leave without problems, but the corpses of animals on the surface are so common that this makes the Death Valley in Kamchatka one of the most terrible places on Earth.

4. Sablinsky caves

Fans of tickling their nerves can choose as a place to visit the ancient caves, which were formed as a result of sand mining in this place from the 18th to the 20th centuries. When mining was stopped, the caves had to be closed. There are real labyrinths here, so only experienced stalkers and speleologists decide to go to such a place.

In the middle of the last century, real bandits and those who escaped from prisons equipped their lairs in the Sablinsky caves. Few dared to go deep into the caves, even those who lived in them. There were times when people disappeared in labyrinths and died. Now tourists are already being taken there, a special “walking” zone has been allocated for them, but an ordinary tourist will not be able to get into the depths. But stalkers find loopholes.

5. Abandoned submarine base

In a city called Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-54 is an abandoned place, a submarine bay that has long been considered a secret. A few decades ago, life was in full swing in this place, and submarines returning from missions parked in the bay.

After the base was closed in 1996, the military rolled up all their property and left the place. However, no one went to extremes, so a lot of props of those times have survived to our times, which are of value precisely from the side of the atmosphere. There are few places where you can feel such an oppressive silence.

6. Kadykchan, Magadan

Oddly enough, but translated from the local language, Kadykchan means the same "valley of death." This urban-type settlement was built in 1943. Not far from it, the authorities launched the extraction of high-quality coal, and until recently, life was in full swing in the town. However, around the mid-90s, a disaster occurred at the mine - gas exploded. Seeing this, people began to disperse.

By the early 2000s, there were more than 700 people in the city. But in just a few years, the number of inhabitants fell to such a minimum that, by a strong-willed decision, the authorities decided to disconnect the city from central heating and water supply, since these services did not even pay off. After such a cardinal upheaval, the last inhabitants left the city, and now it is a ghost town, which still retains the indescribable atmosphere of a dead place.
