EP 74 - The Haunting of Chernobyl | Ukraine: Chernobyl is known for the nuclear accident that took place on April 26th 1986. The citizens of the nearby city of Pripyat were forced to evacuate, but for many, it was too late. Thousands were infected by the poisonous cloud that spread from reactor 4 across several countries. The contaminated area surrounding Chernobyl nuclear power plant remains uninhabitable and will stay that way for thousands of years. Staff and visitors to the exclusion zone have noticed a spike in paranormal activity in the abandoned buildings and even inside the reactor itself. Strange sightings in the area date back to even before the accident claimed so many lives. Tune in as we dive into the worst man-made nuclear accident in history, as well as the hauntings that took place before and after.
