The places you'll see here are not created by screenwriters. They are real and people who live there got used that they are different from everybody else.
#1 Centralia, USA
Centralia was a developed mining town. However, since 2013 only 7 people live here. The reason is the coal mine fire. It started in 1962 and continues today. Several fire companies were to clean up the town landfill as usual but something went wrong. The fire entered the abandoned coal mines.
#2 The land of twins, India
Kodinhi is a small village in India famous for the highest twin birth rate. There are more than 200 pairs of twins. Most of them are of the same gender. The real reason for this phenomenon is still unknown.
#3 Dying village in Japan
This small village in Japan is called Nagoro. However, if you look closely it turned out to be even smaller. About 300 people used to live there and today there are only 30. To make things better, Tsukimi Ayano, a talented artist decided to make life sized scarecrows who became real citizens of this place.
#4 Lily Dale, USA
This small settlement in southwestern New York State is the largest center for the Religion of Spiritualism. About 300 mediums and Spiritualist healers live here. A lot of visitors come to this place to masterclasses, lectures and workshops.
#5 Just Room Enough Island, USA
Trying to have a rest and escape from the stresses of everyday life, one family bought this small island in the 1950's. However, their unusual house and island attract a lot of tourists and this place is no longer quiet and isolated.
#6 Vedic City, USA
Maharishi Vedic City is home to 250 people. All of them live according to Vedas. The buildings are designed according to Veda architecture. People believe it brings health, happiness and peace. There is a Vedic observatory, a hotel, an art fair and an organic food market in the city.
#7 The happiest people of Piraha
The Piraha people live in Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. There is an atmosphere of happiness. People have no social hierarchy and know everything about the place they live in. They sleep 30 minutes every 6 hours, don't know numbers or colors and seek harmony with nature.

There is more than one Centralia in the USA. Several states have a Centralia.

Centralia, IL had a mine explosion in 1947 that killed 111 people but the Centralia in the story above has to be in PA where the fire still burns.

Same as Judy. Only one pic revealed itself.

Being an Upstate NY resident for most of my life, I have driven around the outskirts of Lilydale many times but have chosen not to go into the town. The thought of reaching out to the spirits of the departed makes me feel uneasy. A whole town devoted to this purpose is not something I want to experience.

Interesting places for folks who like extreme solitude. Not for me. Thank you.
Janet Acuna
There's a pic missing.

Do the pictures cost extra? Just asking, because they either don't come up or take forever.
