Not to bring the mood down or anything but if you want scary go to Auschwitz and Birkinau concentration camps outside Krakow in Poland. Went there last year and one thing you will notice immediately is the silence, it hits you like a hammer. Fucking unpleasant place.

i'd have gone without a second thought.

the only thing i'd be afraid of is tripping over something in the dark and smashing my knee.

nothing to do with macho bravado - i just cant find anything to fear in a situation like that...

i wouldnt stand anywhere close to the edge of a cliff though .. that terrifies me


ps - next time - use a flash :D

Scariest place for me is inside my own head. I know it soundslike i am being dramatic, but it seriously is a scary landscape in there. Thank god i have impulse control.


Living in Germany there were some damn scary places. We went on a field trip to Maastricht (in the Netherlands) and they took us to a bunker where families had been hiding for hundreds of years. It had originally been a wine cellar for a nearby estate, but then it was used as a hideout (cant remember the reason), and ended up being empty and used for hiding since, of course, Jews would hide there during ww2... They took us down into one of the alcoves, about big enough to fit a bus i, then killed the lights. Being 30 feet underground in a stone cave with no light is creepy as hell. And they wouldnt say if anyone was caught and killed there, which of course gets your imagination gong because if they hadnt, they would just say NO.

I'm reading a fictional book right called burnt bones by micheal slade that has to do with an artifact from the massacre at glencoe as well as stonehendge. The historical tidbits made me want to find out more about it and the picture you posted is amazing . Helps me understand what it looked like and how they all got hemmed in there.

I was born about 40 miles north of stonehenge, is the book any good?

(I 'm not the writer, just got me interested, sort of spooky connection that's all)

Yeah TIC that really is a beautiful place I think I would love to go and camp there for a few nights.
