Hold onto your spelunking hats because we’re about to delve into seven super creepy caves you might want to think twice about exploring! The Cueva de las Manos in Argentina, which means “Cave of Hands,” is filled with ancient handprints on the walls, giving you the eerie feeling that someone’s watching you from the past. Ever heard of the Aokigahara Forest in Japan, also known as the “Suicide Forest”? It’s as spooky as it sounds, with a tragic history of people taking their own lives among the dense trees. Don’t forget about the Waitomo Glowworm Caves in New Zealand, where thousands of glowworms create a mesmerizing starry sky underground. While these caves hold a certain allure, they also come with a big dose of creepiness.
