</form> In Netflix's docu-series Dark Tourism journalist David Farrier explores our macabre fascination with the dark and weird locations around the world
Most tourists will flock to beaches to sunbath or pop into historical landmarks to satisfy their thirst for cultural experiences or knowledges
Some though, need more to quench their thirst - and so was born dark tourism, which involves people visiting places that are more associated with death and tragedy than tans and magaritas
Farrier explores destinations around the globe that people actually visit to get an experience outside of the norm
From tourists soaking up radiation in Japan to abandoned labour camps, "poor taste" museums with crime collections and the second most popular suicide spot all feature
Here we take a look at some of the most famous - and popular - dark tourism destinations and sites in the world - and how you can visit them
Santa Muerte, Latin America Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, has risen in popularity in Mexico in recent years
Statues of cloaked skeletons and skulls are at the centre of what is essentially praying to death
The ceremonies take place in a modest temple, though in Dark Tourism we see a small shop that's become a sort of mecca for worshippers who shuffle on their knees to the see the statue
Santa Muerte plays a role in the famous Day of the Dead that is help November 1-2
She's also known as Bony Lady, and her appeal lies in her "non-judgemental nature" and "ability to grant wishes" according to her followers
So where did it come from? Popular thought is that it stems from Mictecacihuatl, the Aztec goddess who presided over the festival of death in August
But after the Spanish conquered Mexico in the 16th century they encouraged them to celebrate All Souls Day, a Catholic festival
The Day of Death is a sort of fusion between the Catholic beliefs and the locals'
Santa Muerte is seen by some as the reincarnation of Mictecacihuatl - making Day of the Dead as her unofficial feast day
The Vatican has denounced Santa Muerte. People still visit to take part in the festival though
Simulation Illegal border crossing It may seem strange but a Mexican town simulates the illegal border crossing so tourists can feel what it's like
Be warned, it takes it to the extreme. You are essentially paying to be chased, shot at, and abused
You leave at night and experience the same stressful conditions. The Night Walk takes three hours and is a 12km obstacle course that has tourists running across a rugged wilderness all while being chased by "agents" with guns
The tour started in 2004 with the idea of showing people what it's like to be an immigrant
It takes place in Parque EcoAlberto, in Mexico. The tour has met criticism, first because it was seen as a training camp for those who actually would go on to cross, and second because it was seen as trivialising what actually happens
Either way it's intense. You can sign up for a Night Walk still too. Tomioka after Fukushima Nuclear Disaster The city was known for its stunning beaches and cherry blossom tree tunnels, but after a tsunami and nuclear disaster it was left wrecked within 12 months
It became a ghost city after it was evacuated in March 2011 over safety fears concerning dangerous levels of radiation
More than 15,000 residents living in 6,000 properties were forced to leave the city turning it into a wasteland
The government has begun to encourage people to move back into certain areas, and there are tours taking people into the area to see the aftermath
In Dark Tourism the reality is unsettling as the area still has high levels of radiation, personal possessions are left abandoned and areas are still on lock down
Real Fukushima run tours. Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park Often dubbed the world's weirdest theme park, Huis Ten Bosch is a weird mix of worlds
VR rides, manga characters walking around and replica buildings. It's essentially Amsterdam in Asia
The Dutch-themed amusement park, in Sasebo, is a weird colliding of themes, ideas and rides
There's robots and dinosaurs, but tulips and replica canals. Tickets for Huis Ten Bosch cost £45 per day
Visit english.huistenbosch.co.jp or seejapan.co.uk . Aokigahara - suicide hot spot Also known as Sea of Trees, Aokigahara, is a forest on the northwestern area of Japan's Mt Fuji
It's beautiful, but it's also the world's second most popular suicide location, the first being the Golden Gate Bridge
Since the 50s, Japanese businessmen have wandered into the forest - and at least 500 haven't come back out
In 2002 there were 72 suicides, in 2003 105 bodies were found. The 'romantic' ending to Seicho Matsumoto's novel Kuroi Jukai is often blamed for revitalising the forest's popularity
The novel ends with a joint-suicide. Logan Paul also made headlines when he visited and filmed a body in amongst the trees
He apologised afterwards but Police, in response, have erected signs "Your life is a precious gift from your parents," and "Please consult the police before you decide to die!" Compasses are useless thanks to the rich deposits of magnetic iron in the volcanic soil
A two-hour drive from Tokyo, there are tours and trips which take tourists to the forest, though you can also take a tour alone or travel with a local guide to see its numerous caves
Be warned though, remnants have been left behind from people who have chosen to end their lives there
It's wise to travel in a group. Expedia has a tour, as does TripAdvisor . Hashima Island You may recognise Hashima Island , also known as Gunkanjima aka Battleship Island, if you've seen James Bond as it's the secret headquarters of Raoul Silva, the villain in the Skyfall
Hashima Island is an abandoned island lying about 15 kilometers from the city of Nagasaki, in southern Japan
It has a complicated history. At the turn of the 20th century it was a bustling coal-mining town owned by the Mitsubishi Corporation, but during WWII the Japanese turned it into a labour camp for Chinese and Korean prisoners
By 1959, it had the highest population density on Earth and, as you'd expect, living conditions deteriorated
When Japan switched to petroleum the prisoners were moved from the island and it was left to degrade
In 2002, filmmaker Thomas Nordanstad visited with Dotokou, who grew up on the island
It was the first time he'd returned as an adult. You can no longer visit by fishing boat, you now have to join an organised tour - there are boats every 30minutes usually from Nagasaki
For tours take a look at Gunkanjima Concierge . Described by its curator as not something for those "easily offended, disturbed, or sensitive in nature" it's easy to see why
It claims to be Europe's largest true crime museum with politically incorrect exhibits, from KKK figures hanging a black child and items from serial killers and the Nazis
Museum owner Andy Jones has faced a lot of criticism for his collection and the way he displays it with some saying it's in "poor taste"
You can visit museum - just bear in mind he's not joking when he says it's designed to shock
Be prepared to part with £10 for an adult ticket, and despite warning against taking kids in, there's a children's ticket too for £9
