Throughout history, we remember some of the strangest and most impressive archaeological finds to have bee unearthed. Tales of the pyramids and the ancient worlds of Greece and Rome abound and often, it can feel like there is no mystery left in the world any more.

It turns out, we’re just getting started. There are dozens of weird finds out there waiting to be discovered and each day, people stumble across places which haven’t been entered for decades. These abandoned places were all but forgotten until someone happened to wander into their walls and trust us when we say that they’re more than a little creepy.

Spoils of the Cold War can be found the world over and if you look a little closer at Eastern Europe and Russia, you might be surprised at what you will find. Balaklava in the Ukraine was once a top secret submarine base, with a huge amount of activity. Built into a cliff face, the now abandoned base once contained deadly warheads and secret submarines.
4. No Mans Land Fort, The Solent

A relic of the Second World War, No Mans Land Fort in offshore England has been left abandoned since 2004. Once used as a mode of protection, the fort was later bought up and converted into a luxury home and hotel venue for the rich. Following a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease, however, the fort was left abandoned, sitting derelict in the sea.
3. Battleship Island, Japan

Now a technological leader on the world’s stage, Japan was once a capital for industry and workmanship. Battleship Island is just one relic from its former days, abandoned in the middle of the ocean. Once a fully functioning mining operation, the island has since ceased running, having been abandoned one night in the 1970’s.
2. Bodie, California

America might be at the height of many global industries right now, but look a little closer into its states and you will find remnants of humbler days. The tiny town of Bodie in California has barely changed since the mining boom of the early 1800’s, where it was a thriving hub. During the gold strikes later in the century, however, people left the town for pastures and ever since, it has been left abandoned.
1. Maunsell Sea Forts, Thames Estuary
[post_ads_2]
Whilst the Second World War might feel like a long time ago, there are still traces left all over the world. Just one of the war’s destructive effects can be found in the abandoned Maunsell Sea Forts, in the British Thames Estuary. Once used for protection against aircraft fire, the towers currently have no modern use, and since the end of the war, have been left to rot in the water.
