Every country has them…abandoned scary places. Places that give you goose bumps and make the hair on the back of your neck prickle. For Halloween I thought I’d compile my best scary and creepy pictures from around the globe. It’s heavy on abandoned buildings and cemeteries since those are two things I love to photograph.
Let’s hope you don’t ever get stuck in some of these place alone at night! Trick or Treat!
The abandoned cafeteria of Beelitz Heilstätten, a sanatorium for tuberculosis treatment methods in the early 20th century near Berlin.
An old crumbling house in Connemara Ireland
Graves in Delhi India
Situated in old East Berlin, the abandoned Alte Fleischfabrik (Old Meat Factory) was owned by the Konsumgenossenschaft (KGB), a consumer association, and was established in 1899.
Graves of the sisters at the Presentation Convent Cemetery in Cork Ireland
A broken lock at one of the many buildings of Beelitz
Voodoo graves in New Orleans
A grave remains in this residential area in Kauai Hawaii
St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay BC Canada. Abandoned school where the First Nations people were forced to assimilate into Canadian Catholic culture.
Abandoned home on Maui Hawaii
Beelitz Sanatorium near Berlin also had a dental room…not a place I’d like to be for a tooth ache.
Muckross Abbey in Kilarney Ireland. Old graves intermingle with new among the ruins of an old Abbey. Creepy to walk around on a rainy day.
Old STASI prison cell in East Berlin.
Abandoned house that reminded me of a scene from Poltergeist. Found on Prince Edward Island Canada – the weeds/flowers are a nice touch…
Abandoned Printing factory outside of Berlin
Beelitz room – not too cozy…
A destroyed and abandoned resort along the Lycian Way in Turkey
Cemetery next to the raging sea on Prince Edward Island Canada

What a great collection of photos – just in time for Halloween! I especially liked the ones from the Berlin area. I love exploring abandoned buildings, too. 🙂

The old abandon house that reminds you of Poltergeist reminds me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It’s almost identical except maybe the color.

The one of the residential school in BC struck a particular nerve, as I know about their history. The horrors perpetuated on these kids are truly the stuff of nightmares!

Wow, these pics are just beautifully scary. My favourite most creepy pic is the dental room. You captured the atmosphere very well.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Sabine! I loved that dental chair – but I wasn’t about to sit in it!

My familyis buried in that cemetery on Prince Edward Island. I haven’t been there in 20 years. Ironically, I am leaving to go there for a visit!
Thank you

The owner of the turquoise house is still on PEI, just getting too old to repair it. It’s been broken into too many times. It’s so sad to see it in such a state. There is a book being published soon about the history of the area where the house is located.
