We recently drove to Nemacolin and on the way there, there were some creepy small towns. Same for when we were driving Kiawah, SC. There were some dilapidated homes along the way.

Really depressing

Gary, IN is super scary too.

One of my parents family is from Youngstown and we went only once for a funeral. I still remember thinking the whole town was weird, sad and depressing even as a kid. That was back in 96 so I can only imagine the place now.

Wow. You realize there are towns and homes with this description in every state, right?

I’m not sure whether you mean poverty and crime, or truly haunting and sad. The worst energy I’ve ever felt anywhere was on an empty road leading to an open field in Cassedega, Florida. It is supposed to be a super high-vibe town. And for the most part, it was. But that road really got to me. I’m sensitive to energy and truly had a hard time breathing. I didn’t stay in that space long enough to even try to feel into whatever it was.

I visited this neighborhood in the high desert of California during the housing crash of 2008/2009. Picture foreclosure papers blowing in the wind like tumbleweeds. Boarded up 3500 square feet, 5 year old homes in a suburban community. Lots of people who bought these new "McMansions" as the neighborhood was built up in 2005/2006 for $450k only to have them be worth less than $100k a few years later. Truly a place of broken dreams. One of the most eerie places I've ever been.

We stopped there once on a road trip, thinking it would be fun. We stayed one block OFF that casino strip. I've never been so scared in my life. I know I heard gun shots. Didn't sleep a wink.
