Inside some of the most terrifying tourist hotspots in the world | The Sun
NOT all tourists have the same idea of a good time when going on holiday.
While a lot of people like to laze by the pool, or top up their tan at the beach, there are others who simply like to be creeped out.
We've rounded up some of the weirdest places on earth that people will go to when on holiday.
Sedlec Ossuary, Prague
About an hour away from Prague is the small town of Sedlec – home to one of the world's best known ossuaries, which is a container or room in which the bones of dead people are placed.
The ossuary in Sedlec is found in church where the bones are arranged into ornate displays in some instances, including a goblet arrangement and a decorative shield.
The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people and is said to have influenced film maker Rob Zombie for his film House of 1,000 Corpses.

Pripyat, Ukraine
Pripyat is abandoned city in Ukraine that was deserted after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster.
The town was created in 1970 specifically to house workers from the plant and was the closest town to the fourth reactor which famously exploded on April 26, 1986.
The town had to be evacuated and has remained frozen in town ever since – providing a living photograph of how things looked in that time.
Tourists would frequently visit the town prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has since prevented people from visiting the country – around 200,000 people visited the site in 2019.
