As I venture into unusual, abandoned locales, I frequently come across the eeriest sites. Here’s a glimpse of the spookiest encounters from my journeys.
My name is Justyna and I am an explorer of unusual and abandoned places based in Prague, Czech Republic. I invest time in map study, thorough online research, and meticulous tip-saving for sites of interest. After selecting a destination from my map, I board the train and travel to document it. To date, I have explored hundreds of such places in Europe. What I cherish most about unusual locations is their authenticity – they are usually created by people living there and exist for non-commercial purposes. I’m also drawn to abandoned places, particularly for their aesthetic appeal, as decay transforms them into breathtaking scenery.
All visited locations are documented on my website and Facebook page dedicated to unusual, abandoned, undiscovered places.

#2 The Church Of Ghosts In Luková, Czech Republic
While exploring the north-western Bohemia region in the Czech Republic, don’t miss the abandoned Saint George’s church in Luková, a small village. Built in the 16th century, it fell into disrepair in 1968 when the roof collapsed during a funeral service, leading the locals to believe it was cursed. They abandoned the church, opting for open-air sermons and masses. Fortunately, a solution emerged: local artist Jakub Hadrava created an eerie collection of ‘ghosts’ that now occupy the pews and aisles, drawing thousands of visitors from around the world. Their voluntary donations are aiding the restoration of this once-beautiful old church.

#5 Creepy Sculptures In An Abandoned House In Italy
La Casa delle Favole, or the house of the insane, the most common name of this place, is the best way to describe it. The site was inhabited by Alice and Nelly, a couple of slightly insane siblings who lived isolated from the rest of the inhabitants, devoting their lives to art. Alice died in 2007, while it’s unclear what happened with Nelly after his sister’s death. In any case, today, the house is abandoned and full of creepy decaying artworks—the outcome of the weird lifestyle of the siblings.

#9 The House Of Hanging Dolls In Rváčov, Czech Republic
In Rváčov, Czech Republic, you can’t miss the eerie sight at the village’s end. An enormous tree adorned with countless dolls grabs your attention, followed by a house surrounded by hundreds of aging, dusty toys. This unsettling scene lingers in your memory, leaving you pondering who curates such an unusual collection. The mastermind behind this kingdom of creepiness is Lubomír Votava, a former bodyguard and adviser to a Czech right-wing politician. He maintains this unsettling place not to scare passersby but to preserve discarded dolls, emphasizing their eerie charm. Opinions on this house of dolls vary, with some intrigued and others finding it foolish.
