There has been a rise in tourism to abandoned villages and towns. To get really scared and to take creepy photos. Here are 8 of the most terrifying abandoned towns in the entire world.

1. Craco , Italy

This small town in southern Italy was established in the 8th Century. The town was home to approximately 1,500 people in its glory days. However, since the 1960s, most of them have moved on. The 1963 landslide forced the evacuation of the residents. Ten years later, there were floods, earthquakes, and possibly some locust swarms. Although no one has lived in Craco for more than ten years, tourists continue to visit the town every day just to see the Virgin Mary statue that somehow survived the disasters.
