Traveling out of the country as a tourist can be a very strange experience for some people. It&#39;s usually a good idea to check local laws and customs as well as making sure you are sticking to&nbsp;the safest routes. Over on Reddit, people are sharing their strangest tourist experiences that stayed with them long after their trip was over.

Who doesn&#39;t have some creepy small town stories? Isolated and insular places can&nbsp;have some of the scariest vibes anywhere. After all, every community is different, and plenty of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-american-small-towns/noah-henry" target="_blank">towns are just plain weird</a>. Maybe it&#39;s a history of xenophobia, or a political dispute institutionalized over the years, or possibly a doomsday cult attempting to summon the apocalypse by sacrificing unsuspecting travelers.

Whatever the case, creepy small towns are everywhere, and this list collects some of the most off-putting&nbsp;for you to remember next time you&#39;re driving back roads late at night.

People Describe The Creepiest Small Towns They've Ever Passed Through

Each US state has a motto, words that epitomize the core values and spirit of the people and institutions within its boundaries. Alongside <a href="https://statesymbolsusa.org/categories/state-motto" target="_blank">official mottos</a>, many states have slogans - some that have been officially branded, others that have developed as colloquialisms.

As mottos and slogans have taken shape over the years, they may or may not really represent a state - especially if you ask the individuals who live there. Mottos and slogans are ideals but, as times change, so do beliefs and practices.&nbsp;

As a result, residents&nbsp;in all 50 states who hang out on Reddit decided it was time to rebrand where they live. When given the chance, people chimed in with what it was actually like to live in a state, how they felt about it, and what they believed best represented where they call home.

Take a look and decide for yourself which new mottos really capture what your favorite states are all about.&nbsp;

Throughout history, quite a few bandits have tiptoed past guards, scaled high walls, and made their way into seemingly inaccessible places. These <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-unsolved-heists/jfergus" target="_blank">famous break-ins</a> in heavily fortified locales lead to an important question: Are these venues as safe and secure as they claim?

Tricksters and heisters manage to&nbsp;sneak into impenetrable spaces&nbsp;for many reasons -&nbsp;whether it&#39;s to abscond in the night with valuable pieces of art, to intrude upon <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/historical-inaccuracies-in-the-crown/setareh-janda" target="_blank">Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace</a> after a night of heavy drinking, or to give NASA scientists a run for their money. That being said, some of these cases are much more clever than others. Read on below to vote up the most artful and intelligent examples of someone actually breaching unassailable buildings, networks, or even military planes.

Food Around the World

As anyone who has ever endured a stay in the surgery ward knows, there are plenty of reasons that hospital visits don&#39;t exactly qualify as destination vacations. Of course, there are always the upsides - like the big window you can peek through to see newborn babies, or the time off from work, or, you know, the pain-relieving&nbsp;pump. But what about the food? As you&#39;ll see in these photos of hospital food around the world, whether or not you get edible meals largely depends on where you stay.

Below you&rsquo;ll get a glimpse into the many different incarnations of hospital food in different countries, ranging from the good to the just plain wrong. Believe it or not, some of the food in hospitals in countries like Japan and Estonia actually looks pretty delicious. Getting your appendix removed might be your ticket to the best meal you&rsquo;ll eat all year.

...Unless you&#39;re in Penarth, UK. Or Poland. Or Hungary. At these unfortunate hospitals, you could be subjected to &quot;appetizing entrees&quot; like minced bologna or mystery meat that looks alarmingly like skinned rodent. So if you&rsquo;re curious to see which countries treat patients with culinary care, and which ones you really want to avoid, these hospital food pictures are for you.

Hello Is There a Ghost Here?

Is Edinburgh haunted? Ask any of the dozens of ghost tour guides&nbsp;in the Scottish city, and the answer will be a definite &quot;yes.&quot; The <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/history-of-edinburgh-scotland/genevieve-carlton " target="_blank">bloody history of Edinburgh</a>&nbsp;has inspired countless rumors and legends of ghosts, from the coffin cages in Edinburgh&#39;s graveyard to spirits haunting the strange system of vaults under the city. And dozens of stories claim <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/friendly-nice-ghosts/laura-allan?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">there are ghosts</a> in Edinburgh Castle. According to legends that date back hundreds of years, the medieval fortress on a hill is home to a ghost bagpiper and a headless drummer boy. And many believe the witches tortured in the castle and then thrown into the lake below may still haunt the city.&nbsp;

Just like the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-ghosts-haunt-the-tower-of-london/erin-mccann" target="_blank">ghosts haunting the Tower of London</a>, these specters have deep roots in Edinburgh&#39;s history. The underground street where plague victims were locked away and the notorious slayers who sold their victims to science have fueled the city&#39;s haunted reputation. Edinburgh&#39;s Black Dinner even inspired the gruesome Red Wedding from&nbsp;Game of Thrones. Its many ghost stories make Edinburgh one of the most haunted cities in the world.&nbsp;

A small town in Mexico is home to what are called the&nbsp;screaming mummies, a collection of eerily preserved bodies that are all less than 200 years old. Mummies aren't&nbsp;just from Egypt –examples of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mummies-found-in-real-life/mike-rothschild&nbsp;" target="_blank">mummies have been found around the world</a>. Today, the screaming mummies of Guanajuato can be found in the Museo de las Momias, one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strangest-us-museums/amandasedlakhevener" target="_blank">strangest museums in the world</a>. The mummies, who died between the 1830s and 1950s, are on display for tourists drawn by the Guanajuato mummies tour.Were the Guanajuato mummies buried alive? At least one mummy, discovered chewing on her own arm and with a mouth full of blood, was buried before she died. Others died during Mexico’s deadly cholera outbreak of 1833, the same outbreak that killed thousands around the world. Before a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/john-snow-cholera-map/genevieve-carlton&nbsp;" target="_blank">London doctor proved that the&nbsp;disease was caused by infected water</a>, hundreds may have been <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-is-being-buried-alive-like/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">buried alive</a> to stop the spread of cholera.&nbsp;The Mexican mummy museum, which is home to over 100&nbsp;mummies, is both gruesome and fascinating. The preserved bodies of the mummies in the museum, including the world’s smallest mummy –&nbsp;still a fetus when his mother died –&nbsp;are windows into the past.

First settled by humans more than 1,200 years ago, gorgeous Hawaii is so much more than America's 50th state!

Aloha, Hawaii

Although Hawaii consists of well over 100 islands, only&nbsp;eight are considered main&nbsp;islands. One is Niihau, which&nbsp;is privately owned and has a history wildly different from Hawaii&nbsp;as a whole. Niihau is known as the &quot;Forbidden Island,&quot; and access is highly restricted. The family that owns the land reserves the right to evict people, regulating who is allowed to visit. There are also&nbsp;strictly enforced rules for those who live on Niihau - residents can&#39;t partake in illicit substances&nbsp;or alcohol, and they have to follow certain codes with regard to appearance. The small number of people who live on the island don&#39;t pay rent&nbsp;or buy their own food - it&#39;s all supplied by the island&#39;s owners.

Going to the island is easier today than it was in the past; for a little over $400, you can fly above the island in a helicopter and touch down on one of its well-preserved beaches. Though it&#39;s had its fair share of controversy, not unlike the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/who-is-the-heir-to-the-hawaiian-throne-fight/megan-summers" target="_blank">Kingdom of Hawaii</a>, Niihau has managed to preserve Hawaiian culture on a series of islands <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/injustices-committed-against-hawaii/erin-mccann" target="_blank">forcibly overtaken</a> by&nbsp;American interests.

List of international <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-menu-items/ranker-food" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s menu items</a> you won&#39;t find in the U.S. This list includes weird, delicious, gross, and unusual McDonald&#39;s menu items from all around the world. If you have traveled internationally and visited a McDonald&#39;s abroad, you may have noted that while some of the menu items in McDonald&#39;s in other countries are similar to U.S. items, there are many McDonald&#39;s items that you have never seen before. You can see the items in video form <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeajfFfdyj4" target="_blank">here</a>.

Why is McDonald&#39;s menu different in other countries? It&#39;s simple: they want to sell their food in those countries and people around the world have different tastes and cultural customs that allow them to enjoy some fast food over others.&nbsp;The fast food masterminds behind the McDonald&#39;s empire are smart. 

For example,&nbsp;because cows are generally not consumed in India, there are no menu items made from beef on the Indian menu. Instead, they serve up paneer (a popular South Asian cheese) and chicken-based menu items that are seasoned with masala and cumin and topped with mint mayonaise (a sauce similar to India&#39;s popular mint yogurt sauce). They also serve plenty of vegetarian McDonald&#39;s foods. It&#39;s a perfect example of how McDonald&#39;s uses regional spices and food preferences and adapts those to their international McDonald&#39;s menus.&nbsp;

While McDonald&#39;s abroad locations adapt their flavors and ingredients to please local flavor palettes, they don&#39;t take this too far. Often, McDonald&#39;s in other countries will take local favorites and fuse them with classic McDonald&#39;s dishes and come up with weird McDonald&#39;s menu items in other countries. What are some of the weirdest international fast food items? &quot;Los Beefos&quot;--meatballs covered in crunchy breading from German McDonald&#39;s and &quot;Bubar Ayam&quot;--rice porridge topped with chicken strips from Malaysian McDonald&#39;s is also pretty unusual. Menu items that fuse local fare with traditional McDonald&#39;s flavors (like fried breading and chicken strips) do this because people who come to McDonald&#39;s still want the &quot;Western food experience&quot; when they eat foods they are used to. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Next time you go to Micky D&#39;s and order your same old Big Mac, chicken nuggets or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-french-fries?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">french fries</a> you can be happy (or sad, depending on your taste) to know that in other countries they are eating Chicken Maharaja Macs, McPatatas and Spinach and&nbsp;Parmesan&nbsp;Nuggets rather than your favorite McD&#39;s items. You can take comfort in knowing that there are plenty of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mcdonald_s-secret-menu-items/secret-menu-items">McDonald&#39;s secret menu items</a> if you want to mix it up. &nbsp;

Here is a peak at the best-looking and most unique McDonald&#39;s menu items from around the world. Vote on which items look the best to you!

Action Park was reportedly one of America's deadliest&nbsp;amusement parks. The park opened in 1978 as&nbsp;the brainchild of Eugene Mulvihill, a man&nbsp;considered equal parts P.T. Barnum and Walt Disney. He envisioned a theme park with slightly more thrills,&nbsp;one where the riders &quot;controlled&quot; the action.What he ended up with, though, was a deadly New Jersey amusement and water park, which still lives on in the memories of New Jerseyans and New Yorkers&nbsp;born in the '70s and '80s. Even New Jersey Senator Cory Booker <a href="https://twitter.com/CoryBooker/statuses/372559998900895745" target="_blank">fondly remembers&nbsp;his scrapes and scars</a>&nbsp;from riding the&nbsp;park's Alpine Slide.Nostalgia aside, some dark stuff went down, way beyond run-of-the-mill injuries. Multiple visitors sustained injuries on <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-dangerous-theme-park-rides-ever/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">the park's&nbsp;dangerous attractions</a>.Still, none of the owners or operators ever went to jail for negligence; the park only shuttered in 1996 due to financial woes. We've compiled a list of the most frightening events in the park's 18-year history, a place that remained open 14 years <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/ways-to-die-at-a-water-park/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">after its first accidental death</a> in 1982.

This Is America

Weird

Each American state carries a personality all its own, a set of characteristics that sets it apart from every other member of the union. As with any personality, there are oddities and quirks that come along with it, which may explain some of the weirdest state traditions. Every state boasts at least one custom or practice people from&nbsp;other states simply shake their heads at in confusion and wonder. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/50-bizarre-state-laws/litgoddess" target="_blank">Bizarre state laws</a> and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/50-bizarre-state-laws/litgoddess" target="_blank">outrageous food laws</a> ensure a state&#39;s peculiarities get official notice, but strange state traditions ensure said peculiarities are celebrated.

In most cases, the tradition in question connects to the state in some way. In others, finding a link between the custom and the state is much more difficult. Nevertheless, residents come together to take part in these unusual festivities and celebrate the quirkiness that makes their state unique. In this day and age of divisiveness and division, communities gathering together is a good thing indeed - even if the reasons for such gatherings are a little odd.

From 1789 to 1799,  French revolutionaries overthrew the monarchy of the Ancien Régime, set up a republic, eliminated a lot of people, and drastically changed the course of human history.

French History

Queen Elizabeth II. Kim Kardashian. Marilyn Monroe. What do they have in common? All three have been memorialized in wax by Madame Tussauds.&nbsp;Today we know Madame Tussauds&nbsp;as a wax museum featuring celebrities and royalty, but most people don&#39;t realize the bloody history of Madame Tussaud herself, who nearly lost her head during the French Revolution.

How did Madame Tussauds&nbsp;start? Marie Tussaud was only in her twenties when revolutionaries thrust a severed head into her arms and made her to sculpt it in wax. For the next several years, Marie Tussaud was forced to watch her friends from Versailles visit the guillotine, and then sculpted their offed heads in wax mere moments later. And while the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ways-french-monarchy-incited-revolution/setareh-janda" target="_blank">French monarchy might hold some blame</a> for the revolution, Marie Antoinette didn&#39;t deserve to be accused of some of the&nbsp;questionable charges against her yet <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/surprising-facts-about-marie-antoinette/setareh-janda" target="_blank">they still dispatched the&nbsp;queen</a>, and Madame Tussaud was left with her head.

Today, you can visit Madame Tussauds locations around the world, from the original museum in London, founded in 1835 by Marie Tussaud herself, to Hollywood and Tokyo. But to this day, there is no Madame Tussauds in Paris. Even two centuries later, the memories of making <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/plaster-death-masks/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">plaster death masks of severed heads</a>&nbsp;might be too strong.

Many have&nbsp;fallen in love with the Harry Potter series and the fantastical wizarding world created by JK Rowling. Harry Potter's history is rich with detailed fiction – from the idea of a Horcrux to the intensely terrifying presence&nbsp;of Dementors. It's got decades of rules and words and customs that even hardcore fans struggle to keep straight. However, while the stories themselves are fictional, real world inspiration lies behind the series.&nbsp;There are tons of Harry Potter references based on real life events, myths, or traditions.&nbsp;JK Rowling has a knack for foreshadowing what's going to happen in Harry Potter with historical references.&nbsp;From Britain's biggest prison break to the bombings of the Irish Republican Army, the real world events in Harry Potter&nbsp;grant the books a rich, intelligent context. Readers will enjoy picking apart fact vs. truth in the books, especially those who paid attention in history classes in high school and college.&nbsp;The true&nbsp;events alluded to in&nbsp;the books and movies&nbsp;make&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/disturbing-harry-potter-facts/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">wizarding&nbsp;world</a>&nbsp;– with all its spells and sorcerer's stones -- seem that much more real.&nbsp;From Nazis to Catholic saints, here are&nbsp;some historical references you may have missed in Harry Potter (but don't even get us started on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/historical-events-that-might-have-parallels-in-the-fantastic-beasts-universe/joedonley">The Fantastic Beasts</a>&nbsp;universe).

Lists about America's pastime, including rankings of MLB players by every position. 

Play Ball!

Cities that should have a baseball team include the large metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada that are currently lacking a Major League Baseball team but certainly could make a good case as to why they deserve one. Currently, the MLB fields 30 teams and attracts an average of more than 30,000 fans per game, second only to attendance of the National Football League. With a draw like that, it only makes sense to bring America's pastime to other big cities across North America.Many of these cities have baseball teams currently, home to minor league teams, but as of the 2012 season, none of these areas enjoy a MLB team. Columbus for instance has the Clippers in the International League. Indianapolis also has an International League team with the Indians. The Portland Sea Dogs play in the Eastern League while the Oklahoma City RedHawks play in the Pacific Coast League. All of these cities have baseball teams, but there's a certain bit that is left desired between having a minor league team and one in the big leagues of the MLB.But even worse than having a minor league baseball team is not having one at all. Some formerly were home to MLB teams only to see the team move to another location for one reason or another. The Montreal Expos are the most recent example of that having been the first MLB franchise outside of the United States and existing from 1969 to 2004. Alas the Expos faced a multitude of issues and relocated, interestingly enough to America's capital, Washington DC.Whether these cities are simply big, deserving American cities like Buffalo, New York, Indianapolis, Indiana, and New Orleans, Louisiana, or worthy cities in Canada like Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa, each of these metro areas could easily support a Major League Baseball team. Live in a great city that deserves a professional baseball team? Add your city below or vote for the cities you think deserve an MLB team!
