10 Places On Earth You Should Never Visit
2020 has been, well, not have been very kind to us. With all of us stuck in our homes, I’m pretty sure
that most if not all of you are planning your first trips as soon as the lockdown is all over. However, no
matter how stir crazy you might be, I suggest don’t pay any of these places a visit, especially number 1,
not unless you want to be tormented by demons. Stay tuned to find out where that is as we bring you
10 places on earth you should never visit.

Number 10. Pluto’s Gate, Turkey
Pluto’s Gate, or Ploutonion in Greek, is an archeological site in southwestern Turkey that was discovered
in 2013 after following the route of a thermal spring. The site matches closely the description of the
temple to the underworld, called the “gate to hell”, that disappeared in the 6th century.
As the Greek geographer, philosopher, and prolific traveler Strabo, who lived from 64/63 BC to 24 AD),
so enticingly described it: “This space is full of a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the
ground. Any animal that passes inside meets instant death. I threw in sparrows and they immediately
breathed their last and fell.”
Pluto Gate's reputation was confirmed by scientists. After measuring the CO2 concentration, they found
out that at night, when the temperature decreases and CO2 becomes heavier than air, it forms some
kind of a lake on the bottom of the Gate. At dawn the concentration reaches its peak and any living
being risks their life by getting there. However, at daytime the site becomes safer, because the sun
dissipates the gas.

Number 9. Ilha da Queimada Grande
Better known as Snake Island, Ilha da Queimada Grande is home to a huge population of snakes.
According to some estimates, there's one snake in each square meter of the island. And they aren't just
some harmless grass snakes that only frighten you with their look but can't cause you any damage. The
snakes living in this island are world's most dangerous species. Among them is the golden lancehead
viper whose venom melts flesh around the bite.
These vipers' venom can kill a person in under an hour, and numerous local legends tell of the horrible
fates that awaited those who wandered onto the shores of "Snake Island." Rumor has it a hapless
fisherman landed onto the island in search of bananas—only to be discovered days later in his boat,
dead in a pool of blood, with snake bites on his body. From 1909 to the 1920s, a few people did live on
the island, in order to run its lighthouse. But according to another local tale, the last lighthouse keeper,
along with his entire family, died when a cadre of snakes slithered into his home through the windows.

Number 8. Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan, India
Located at the border of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, Bhangarh Fort is a
17th-century fort, infamous all over India for being the 'Most haunted place in India'. Because of the

numerous ghostly experiences and happenings in the fort premises, villages have sprung up far away
from the fort, due to the fear of what lies within. Even the Archaeological Survey of India or the ASI has
forbidden the locals and tourists from entering the fort at night. This completely ruined, haunted fort of
Bhangarh does have a very eerie, negative aura to it. Several legends have attested to the paranormal
happenings inside the fort.
The history of the fort dates back to centuries. Built in the 17th Century in Rajasthan, the Bhangarh Fort
is an ancient specimen. It was believed to have been erected by Man Singh I, one of the Navratnas of
Akbar's court for his son Madho Singh I.
The place is said to be haunted due to a curse put on it by a black magician whose advances were
rejected by Princess Ratnavati of Bhangarh. The whole landscape around the Bhangarh Fort has been
haunted since.

Number 7. North Brother Island, New York, USA
Located on the East River between the Bronx and Riker’s Island, North Brother Island is an island with a
fascinating and tragic history. It was uninhabited until 1885, when the city purchased the island in order
to build Riverside Hospital, a hospital for people suffering from contagious diseases such as typhus,
tuberculosis, yellow fever, and smallpox.
The island’s most famous resident was “Typhoid Mary” Mallon, who bore the unfortunate distinction of
being the United States’ first documented asymptomatic carrier of the bacteria that causes typhoid
fever.
