Fear is a natural reaction to threat, our brain\u2019s way of telling us that we need to move away from danger, pronto. Then why is it some of us enjoy the heart thumping adrenaline rush <\/a>associated with the ghoulish or gruesome?<\/p>

It probably has something to do with our inquisitive nature; curiousity can drive some of the most odd and regrettable decisions. If you\u2019re the sort that derives enjoyment from the morbid and macabre<\/a>, then why not travel off the beaten path to places most men dare not enter?<\/p>

Thrill-seekers may love macabre Halloween-themed parties and scary movies, but it will take a steel-hearted daredevil<\/a> (or Batman) <\/em>to want to visit these creepy destinations.<\/p>

From an island filled with dolls hanging from the trees, to a hauntingly quiet forest infamous for suicides, these places are proof that the world is filled with real life horrors. Check out our gallery for a list of places that will inspire your nightmares.<\/p>
