Louisiana is known for being a very mysterious place. Some people call it spooky, eerie, weird, or just plain unsettling. I attribute a lot of that to our state just being very old, and unique. Or maybe it's just because we have voodoo, who knows?!

The Crazy Tourist has come up with a list of some of the most mysterious places in the world. If you are looking to head to some locations that are a little left of center this year, then put some of these fascinating places on your radar.

 

  • The Bermuda Triangle -  tales of vanishing aircrafts, ships, and  people for hundreds of years
  • The Banff Springs Hotel, Canada - home to many ghost stories, supernatural happenings, and an entire family who was murdered in one of the guest rooms
  • Transylvania, Romania - home of Gothic towers and gargoyle roofs, and Dracula, of course
