7) Bohemian Grove, United States
Bohemian Grove is not as secret as it once was. Located on the fairly brazen ‘Bohemian Drive’ in Monte Rio, California, the 2,700 acre plot of forest and campground is owned by a private men’s club that hails from San Francisco. Each year in July, the club hosts a two-week retreat that is said to be frequented by the most rich and powerful men in the world. What goes on during this retreat is the subject of much speculation with claims of pagan rituals and drug-fuelled orgies going on in the secluded location. Gaining admission to the Bohemian Grove club is all but impossible unless you happen to be the president of a country or the CEO of one of the biggest conglomerates in the world, although a few civilians have managed to infiltrate the proceedings. The most famous of these is conspiracy theorist and filmmaker Alex Jones who entered Bohemian Grove with a cameraman in the year 2000, an escapade documented by writer Jon Ronson in his book Them: Adventures with Extremists.
