7. House of the Bulgarian Communist Party — Mount Buzludzha, Bulgaria

The locals are trying hard to open this place as a tourist attraction, but the cost is so high that the government has not taken any further step.
6. Wonderland Amusement Park — Beijing, China
At no. 6 is the Wonderland park of Beijing. This amusement park was built for creating the same attraction as the Disney land did. In the year 1998, some disputes over the land resulted in the halting of the construction of this park. The amusement park covers a lot of areas and after abandonment; it feels like the house of the ghost. Most of the lands are being used now for growing crops by the farmer residing in the nearby areas.

5. Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital — Marlboro Township, New Jersey, United States
After visiting this place, the first impression you will have about this place is “is this a set of some horror movie”. But, the answer is no. At no. 5 in our list is the Psychiatric hospital of Marlboro Town, U.S.A. This hospital lasted about 67 years from the day it was opened in the year 1931. This hospital is creepy because of the events that took place within its boundary. Several patients admitted went missing; even some of them choked to death and some in a dramatic manner got frozen to death.
These sorts of incidents led to the investigation in the early 1970s. The Public advocate office carried on the investigation. But even after the investigation, this hospital operated for nearly 2 decades.
