We asked six SDG colleagues about the spookiest places they’ve visited or are too scared to visit. Their nine picks include: Craig y Nos Castle in Wales, a former sanatorium said to be haunted Naturland, an abandoned resort in Turkey full of headless animal statues Hồ Thủy Tiên, an abandoned water park in Vietnam with a giant dragon The Sedlec bone chapel and the ghost-filled church in Luková, Czech Republic Tel Aviv’s maze-like Central Bus Station There’s also a “ghost” that turned out to be an old man in a white robe riding a bicycle. The conclusion: a place isn’t spooky on its own. It’s what you bring to it, like the stories you’ve heard, the company you’re in and how dark it is. So, would you go?
