15 Abandoned Places That You Can See Only in Pictures

Long before the advent of the internet and Google Maps, vast reaches of the world were cloaked in mystery.

Read on to learn about 15 abandoned places you can explore only through photographs—unless, that is, you're willing to risk a trespassing charge (something we strongly discourage). Though abandoned, many of these locations are still private property, and while some aren't technically off-limits, concerns about toxins, deteriorating structures, and other dangers should offer a strong deterrent.
