Be sure to check out these odd places to visit in Kentucky below
Planning a trip can be either lots of fun or a daunting task. Trying to figure out where to go and what to see to keep your trip interesting can be a chore. Here I have places to offer you to visit if you are planning a trip to Kentucky. Keep in mind that these places are less then ordinary, they are in fact odd. This is a compilation of odd places to visit in Kentucky. I am sure that as you start to go through the list, if you haven’t already planned a trip to Kentucky you will now. Kentucky is filled with odd places to visit.
The first odd place to visit in Kentucky is located in Alexandria. Located in Alexandria is Witch Hill. Located in the middle of the road in Wilder stands the remains of the tree that was used to hang three witches, it is said that this tree is cursed. This curse will be passed to any who spit on the tree or try to cut it down. In 2004, the tree was in fact moved from the middle of the road to the top of the hill in the church parking lot. This tree has three equally spaced humps in it just before the bend of the tree. These humps are said to be the grave of the three witches. Worth seeing and trying to photograph, on your journey to the tree you will surely experience a few of the very odd happenings that take place to all that visit the tree. While taking a picture of the tree has proved impossible even on a clear night, for you will find that when the photo is developed all you will see is white blotches all over your photo.
All the research that I have done proves that a very odd place to visit in Kentucky would be Bowling Green. It is here that the University of Western Kentucky is located and it doesn’t seem that there is one place at that university that you can go that will not find something odd. Whether it is the scratching of finger nails on doors and windows in the campus housing to the pictures that hang in the hall way that will smile back at you as you look at them there is definitely something odd enough for everyone there. While in Bowling Green you can also visit the Greenwood Mall. Here there is a parking space with the face of a man in an oil stain, that if you park your car on that stain and leave it over night it is said that you will see the body of a sleeping man in your car.
I don’t want you to think that all of the odd places to visit in Kentucky are haunted or supernatural, though the list is quite endless, there is the odd that makes you go “hmmmm.” One such place is Corbin, Kentucky. Here they host a four day long festival in honor of the chicken. This is known as the Annual World Chicken Festival which includes a chicken themed parade as well as the “World’s Largest Skillet.” The skillet is 10’6” wide and 8” deep with and 8’ handle. To fill this skillet it takes 300 gallons of cooking oil.
If you are looking for an odd place to visit in Kentucky for name sake alone, I say you make the drive to Disappointment, Kentucky. You really have to wonder what is in a place called Disappointment and how happy the people that live there really are. Make the drive just to have your picture taken under the sign that reads “Welcome to Disappointment.” There are other odd places to visit in Kentucky such as Death Valley in Cave City or perhaps the Gates of Hell located in Elizabethtown and Bone Lick Park in Florence.
There are few other places in the United States that offers such a variety of truly odd places to visit then Kentucky. I don’t know about you, but I am already planning my next trip there.
