An intriguing site that has come to my attention lately is grief-tourism.com a site that has dark tourism, battlefield tourism and dead celebrity tourism as it’s central themes.

It’s all about tourism to the sites of tragedy and evil — Ground Zero, Holocaust sites like Auschwitz and infamous places such as Strawberry Fields & the Dakota Building (where John Lennon was assassinated) and Soham, England (the scene of the murder of two young girls).

Grisly but fascinating, a real exploration of the dark side of human nature and our attraction to the horrific.
