18 Haunting Photos Of An Abandoned Nazi Hospital

Ponyhenge, Massachusetts

Anything that ends with -henge tends to be shrouded in weirdness and mystery, but “Ponyhenge” in Lincoln, Massachusetts, might just be our new favorite. As its name suggests, Ponyhenge is a collection of plastic ponies and rocking horses sitting pretty (and nightmarish-ly) in a field about 14 miles west of Boston. The first ponies started appearing sometime around 2010; over the years, the collection has grown exponentially and will frequently rearrange into circles and rows. How did the first pony appear? Who adds and organizes the collection? Do the ponies come alive when we're asleep? No one knows. It’s Ponyhenge.

While most abandoned buildings looks like they're haunted, they're really just the derelict remains of mansion that a family struggled to sell or the shell of an old warehouse. But the history behind Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital is actually as creepy as it looks.

Built as a tuberculosis sanatorium, this enormous hospital complex stands 30 miles southwest of Berlin. It was used to treat Nazis during World War II and the Soviet Army up until the 1990s. This is also where a young Adolf Hitler recovered after being wounded in World War I.
