    Scary is not always bad, it can also be a good kind of scary. Ask any thrill seeker, and they will tell you that being scared is their favorite state of mind. If you wouldn’t mind a few thrills of your own, we’re not about to suggest that you should do something truly dangerous, like swim in shark infested waters or something similar.

    On the contrary, thrill seekers usually take all the necessary precautions that will ensure that they will be around for more thrills next time. So if you’re done with tame, everyday travel experiences, here are top 5 scary things to do this summer that will put some spice in your life.

    Take a stroll at the top of the world

    Anyone who’s familiar with Toronto is also familiar with the CN Tower, he tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, which was the tallest building in the world for a long time.

    The tower is one of the main elements of Toronto’s skyline, but if you want to look at things from another perspective, climb up to the observation deck, about 450 meters above the ground. We dare you not to feel a chill on your back when you look down.

    Ride on the steepest roller coaster in the world

    Takabisha, one of the newest rides in Fuji-Q Highland theme park in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan is officially the steepest rollercoaster in the world. It’s most famous drop has an inclination of 120 degrees, and although the whole ride does not last longer than 2 minutes, we guarantee that they are going to be the longest 2 minutes of your life.

    Sleep with ghosts for a night

    Whether or not you believe in ghosts is irrelevant, a night spent at a supposedly haunted hotel in the UK will surely make your hair stand on end at least a little.

    These castles have a knack for unsettling even the most sensible traveler, and the hotel’s management will probably do their utmost best to scare the wits out of you – they have a reputation to maintain, after all. Try Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, which has quite a large ghost menagerie.

    Cross a scary bridge

    Bridges are usually not purpose built to scare you, but there are a select few bridges in the world that would quicken the heartbeat of anyone. Bridges like the the Hanging Bridge at Trift Glacier, Switzerland, the bridge in Taman Negara National Park in Malaysia, or the horrendous Hussain Bridge of Borit Lake, Pakistan look more than threatening , but since the locals have been using them for ages, they are generally safe enough.

    Visit the Devil’s Tramping Ground…and stay for the night

    The Devil’s Tramping Ground in North Carolina is subject to some of the oldest legends in the area. This 40 ft diameter circular area is completely barren, despite efforts to make vegetation grow.

    Supposedly objects left overnight in the ring disappear. Although there’s probably a perfectly reasonable explanation, camping out on the tramping ground is nevertheless unsettling.
