City Methodist Church, Indiana
Gary, Indiana, known as the birthplace of Michael Jackson, is also home to a stunning abandoned church. The City Methodist Church, built in 1926 with funds from U.S. Steel, features Gothic architecture, stone pillars, and stained glass windows. Due to the decline of the steel industry and the city’s population, the church closed its doors in 1975. Despite its crumbling state, the structure remains beautiful and has been featured in movies such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Poveglia, Italy
Poveglia Island, located less than half a mile from Venice, has a dark and haunting history. It has been used as a quarantine zone for plague victims, a storage space for weapons, and an asylum with reports of horrific medical experiments. The asylum closed after a doctor’s tragic suicide. Although it is illegal to visit Poveglia today, you can catch a glimpse of the island and its decaying hospital from the beaches of nearby Lido.
