9. The Putangirua Pinnacles, NZ (Paths Of The Dead)
Not quite as frightening in real life; the Putangirua Pinnacles are the result of mountain erosion that began seven million years ago. Over the past 120,000 years, the Putangirua Stream washed down scree and gravel to the coast; in turn exposing an ancient layer of gravel, and some dramatic voodoo-looking pinnacles. Jackson chose this for the creepy Paths of the Dead in "Return Of The King" - where Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas wander through to conjure the Undead. You can camp in the scenic reserve surrounding the ancient pinnacles or take designated walking routes to view the haunted passages for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_ZXicKxA7M&feature=youtu.be
