Pripyat’s Chernobyl is living proof that not all hauntings have to be from ancient times. Located in what’s now a part of Ukraine, this abandoned city has essentially sat frozen in time since 1986’s nuclear power plant explosive disaster. Due to lingering radiation concerns, the area is so desolate today that almost nobody is allowed past several security checkpoints. Once a thriving community, the decaying structures of civilization remain creepily silent. With its experiments clearly gone awry, legends are told of strange phenomena and mutated creatures throughout. In fact, some of the modern cryptid species debated today may have their origins dated back to this particular historic incident. What should be a growing metropolis has actually become the epitome of the term “ghost town”.
