Ever have one of those nightmares that feels so real,
you swore you were actually there? Usually, after experiencing something
like that, you'll wake up and reassure yourself that it was all just a
dream. A place like that couldn't possibly exist in real life, right?
Well, you're in for a (terrifying) treat.
Believe it or not, the places from your nightmares actually exist and
they're probably closer to home than you might think. Prepare for some
serious creepiness.
