The travel channel had a show on the top 10 creepiest places. Some of them will swiftly be added to the Life List I'm putting together. Some... not so much.
10. Bermuda Triangle (on the list)
- they recommend the island of Bimini alleged to also be the location for the Fountain of Youth and the remains of Atlantis, worth a look at least
9. Hollywood (lame)
- haunted hotels mostly, including the Roosevelt and Knickerbocker.
8. Tower of London (awesome)
- no need for explanation, just a lot of killing in one central location far away
7. Mutter Museum of Medical History in Philly (AWESOME!)
- forget Smithsonian or the Bodies exhibit, this
museum looks to be 10 times more spectacular. Their slogan: Disturbingly Informative. w00t!
6. Gettysburg (meh)
- lots of dead soldiers and people who've experienced their presence
5. New Orleans (Best Place in the US)
- voodoo and cemeteries in a lively hedonistic environment. Yes, I will retire here.
4. Salem, Mass (meh)
- 24 people were killed as witches. And now they need tourists.
3. Area 51 (not realistic)
- 75 miles northwest of Vegas, an army base I couldn't get anywhere near, whatevz
2. Winchester Mystery House (wtf?!)
- it may be because I grew up around it, but the house is not a number 2 on the creep-o-meter. It's fascinating and neat, but #2?! More creep than the Tower of London?! No way. No one even died in this house!
1. Fall Rivers, Mass. (potential)
- you know the house where Lizzy Borden's father and step mother were brutally murdered? Well, it's a Bed and Breakfast now and no joke, you can sleep in the bed dear old step mommy was murdered in and lounge on the couch where they found her father sans face. Yeah, that sounds like a #1.
