Ford’s Theater
Gettysburg-even my husband who doesn’t believe in ghosts found it incredibly creepy as if we had some sort of presence standing near us while we were there.
Lowell, MA- I was a teen when my parents insisted we visit there to see old mills and I found it so creepy.
York, Maine dates back to colonial times and while it is very pretty, I get a creepy vibe from it. There’s an old cemetery and an old colonial jail that have an strange vibe.

Old Occoquan. Swore I’d never return. Dark energy.

We had a very strange encounter. We were alone at the resort and someone would not stop banging on our door. Awful.

No what you feel is enslavement. Probably ancestors of former enslaved people —haunting you if you’re white. I’m Black and never felt this way there.


I’m white. I have nothing to do with slavery or segregation being born over a century after the end of one and decades after the end of the other. So nothing is going to haunt me about either.

Felt like I was in the old "Gargoyles" movie.

Oh, wow! What do you find creepy about Mendocino and Humboldt? I wanted to go to school at Humboldt State, but I was afraid that I'd flunk out because I would always be hiking and kayaking. It's just gorgeous there, to me.

I think the town is run-down and depressed looking and feels slightly dangerous. The Victorian houses and gray skies are an eerie combination. The woods up in that area are so thick and old and like you could just disappear and never be found. People who live in isolation on side roads. The college is in Arcata and maybe has a different vibe. I find the whole area beautiful but eerie at the same time like you have to respect nature's power and remember you're small and insignificant.


Agree with this completely. It is so misty and full of desperation with lost souls who want to live on the fringes and disappear from regular society.


I haven’t been up there, but I’m sure the fact that 10s or even 100s of billions of dollars of marijauana commerce has gone down up there over the decades is part of it.

That much of a black market brings elements that permeate everything.

I never want to go back to Charleston for this very reason. The vibe was unsettling.

I remember being on top of that Cahokia mound at night once years and years ago. Felt neat sitting up there in the middle of the night alone. Would be neater during a blackout.

The Adirondacks near Lake Placid. I stayed in a small motel right in Lake Placid and had horrible hallucinatory dreams and tried to shake it off in the morning with a scenic drive, only to feel even more creeped out. I ended my trip a day early.


What's wrong with the drive from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. I used to drive it all the time and loved looking at the mountains and desert landscape. So peaceful.


It was beautiful but there was a weird energy I felt the entire time that made me feel anxious and unsettled. Once we were in Santa Fe, we felt fine, so I can’t explain it.

We were driving in the middle of nowhere in Ohio on a blazing hot summer day. I have to go and we see a sign "Rest Area." A tiny building in the middle of a cornfield. No cars in the parking lot.
I walk into this building and am hit by a blast of cold air. A guy in a uniform is sweeping a gleaming marble floor. A pristine, fully stocked convenience store/cafe contains a single employee staring into space. Hushed, ambient music is playing. I go into the bathroom and it looks like a luxury Zen retreat.
Then I walk out and I am again surrounded by an endless cornfield baking in the sun.
This was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. It was like I traveled through a wormhole to Narita airport.
