The Sanzhi UFO House, Taiwan
1. Matti Suuronen?
2. 1978, demolished in 2010
3. Taipei County, Taiwan
4. No one is supposed to visit, but it was secret tourist attraction.
5. Cost at least $32 million.
6. The Pod City was supposed to be a vacation destination of Futuro homes, mostly for US military officers or wealthy people from the Far East. It was destroyed after many questionable deaths and accidents. A new resort is supposed to be built over it.
7. I picked this one because it's creepy and is supposed to be haunted.
