From Pluto’s Gate to a haunted asylum, here are some interesting places to visit on Halloween- if you dare.

PLUTO’S GATE

It’s not every day that superstitious rumors are proven to be true. Well, Pluto’s Gate in Turkey was definitely proven to be as dangerous as everyone says. Since ancient times, no one dared enter it.

Scientists who came to study this phenomenon found that there were heavy CO2 concentrations in the cave which caused all of the deaths within it. It’s much safer during the day, since the increased temperature causes the CO2 to weigh down to the bottom, but no one really wants to risk it.

Rancho Los Amigos

The Rancho Los Amigos (“Friends Ranch”) opened up in 1888.The facility was built in two distinct quarters, known as North and South Campus.

Occasionally, the abandoned South Campus is utilized for training by the US Army and Marines.

In 2006, a group of Marines discovered a collection of mummified legs, arms and brain tissue in a freezer at the facility.

South Campus has become a hotspot for paranormal encounters ever since.

Locals have said that several people who continue to reside at North Campus continuously complain to staff that they can hear the sounds of spirits crying from the abandoned buildings.

I’ve chosen a couple of Murder Ballads to feature on today’s #100toHalloween because even though they’re not Halloween songs, they’re haunting and they do explain where the ghosts we celebrate on October 31st come from.

A woman gives birth to one or two illegitimate children (usually sons) in the woods, kills them, and buries them. On her return trip home, she sees a child, or children, playing, and says that if they were hers, she would dress them in various fine garments and otherwise take care of them. The children tell her that when they were hers, she would not dress them so but murdered them. Frequently they say she will be damned for it.

Two sisters go down by a body of water, sometimes a river and sometimes the sea. The older one pushes the younger in and refuses to pull her out again; generally the lyrics explicitly state her intent to drown her younger sister. Her motive, when included in the lyrics, is sexual jealousy – in some variants, the sisters are being two-timed by a suitor; in others, the elder sister’s affections are not encouraged by the young man. In a few versions, a third sister is mentioned, but plays no significant role in events. In most versions, the older sister is described as dark, while the younger sister is fair.
