43 Spooky Cities Around the World People Would Not Go Back To

St. George’s Church in Lukova, Czech Republic, carries a history as haunting as its current state. This 14th-century church, plagued by multiple fires, was last scorched in the 1960s, leading locals to declare it haunted and abandon it for over four decades. In 2012, art student Jakub Hadrava transformed this forsaken place.

He crafted ghostly figures from plastered sheets draped over live models, placing them throughout the church to mimic a spectral congregation attending midnight mass. This eerie installation revitalized interest in the church, turning it into a local attraction open for visits on Sunday afternoons.
