I'm a big history buff, but my real history fav is Chernobyl and Pripyat. I wanna know if it's normal to wanna spend the night in an abandoned house in Pripyat. If so, what should I bring.
It's my guess that the houses won't have been maintained since the mid 1980s, for obvious reasons. Some of them will be unsafe, uninhabitable and mouldy/damp. I'd take a hard hat, a torch, a face mask, food, water, and a fully charged mobile phone (presuming you can get a signal) or some other method of communication (if you can't get a reliable phone signal).
I think the area is still under some kind of loose guard (I know someone who was allowed in without any kind of special clearance, although he was a scientist so maybe that makes a difference). He seemed to suggest you can visit in the same way people visit Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Bring a friend so he can tell scary stories around a (nuclear powered) fire.
Can you even enter those cities? Aren't they restricted by the Ukrainian authorities?
I'm gonna look so dumb if Chernobyl wasn't in the Ukraine but I'm too lazy to go look it up.
My guess is you will be killed by zombies just like in the movie Chernobyl Diaries.
