4. Jatinga (India)

Jatinga, a small village in Assam, India has been a part of weird and unexplainable things from last 100 years. With just 2,500 population of the village, Jatinga Bird Mystery is something that still baffles some of the greatest minds in the world. Every year, from September to November, many migratory birds commit mass suicide at this village. The incident particularly occurs from around 7 pm to 10 pm, just after sunset when hundreds of birds commit suicide by crashing into buildings and trees. Birds are not considered to be suicidal which is why this practice causes a lot of stir among the people in and around the village.

5. Island of the Dolls (Mexico)

If you were even remotely scared of Annabelle in The Conjuring, because let’s face it, it was scary as hell, then you should never even think of visit this place. Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, Mexico is an uninhabited island with thousands of dolls hanged on its trees. As per a legend, once a young died near the island as the caretaker of the island was not able to save her, he hangs her doll on the tree in order to pay homage to the girl. However, after this incident, dolls began to wash ashore and the caretaker continued to hang them.

Many say that these dolls move their hands, legs and even heads. While one can visit the island in the daytime, pulling an all-nighter over here would be an absolute no-no.

All these places have that spooky touch to them that can make you give up on sleep today, however, the fascination surrounding these places is just on another level.
