Beaches are for squares... why laze in the sun when you can creep round a haunted children's hospital 😈

Any hospital nicknamed ‘the place of no return’ needs to not exist.

This psychiatric hospital (inspiration for horror video game The Town of Light) was home to 6,000 patients before it was shutdown in 1978 for cruel practices - ice baths, inducing comas with insulin and hiding letters from families was common.

Roam around giving yourself a firm case of the willies. You can also see the giant mural by patient Oreste Ferdinand Nannetti, who etched his thoughts into the walls using a belt-buckle.

American Horror Story’s been slacking.

Over the years, Roosevelt Island has been home to a prison, an overcrowded asylum and a smallpox hospital where 13,000 people died. Yikes.

If you’ve got balls the size of watermelons, have an explore - the building’s a bit wobbly on its pins, but you can have a look from the outside.

If you hear a noise, it’s probably just one of the feral cats that’s taken over the area. Or, y’know. Ghosts.

Beelitz is the former TB clinic and sanatorium where Hitler was patched up during WW1, and it still has a whiff of Nazi-nastiness about it.

After WW2 the Russians took it over, and it became the biggest Soviet hospital outside the USSR - they didn’t give it up until 1994.

Things took a turn for the even worse in the following years, when two different murderers used it as the place to kill people and have sex with their corpses.
Bloody hell.

But the town is now more famous for its asparagus, so it all turned out ok.
