Stay away from these creepy destinations mentioned onAsk Reddit.
1.I went to a rest stop at 1am outside Springfield Illinois a few years back.
Went to the restroom and there was blood everywhere.
It looked like something got slaughtered.
I have never high tailed it out of somewhere so quickly as I had there.
2.When I was in high school it was a popular dare to go to the dollhouse.
It was insanely well built, like a scaled down version of a normal house.
There was even a little air conditioner.
The people who owned it never locked it so you could go right in through the front door.
At first it seemed normal, just small.
There was carpeting and a set of stairs leading up to a tiny second story.
The air felt stale and quiet.
Then you would see them.
Maybe the owners built it for their grandkids or something but no me gusta.
The morgue was downstairs and still had the drawers.
My job was to lay in the drawer and pop out when people walked by.
4.The Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River Massachusetts.
Heres the story behind it…
30 year old Lizzie Borden lived in Fall River in the 1800s.
There is a full Buzzfeed Unsolved video about the case as well, I would recommend checking it out.
Its my favorite thing/story about my hometown.
5.The Killing Fields memorial in Cambodia.
After hearing that I had the most physically sick reaction Ive ever had in my life.
I started shaking and sweating PROFUSELY.
I was drenched in sweat in a matter of seconds.
I felt physically sick and couldnt eat or sleep for three days.
I couldnt focus on anything.
I felt like a zombie.
I guess I just dont have the stomach for being near places where mass evil against innocents has occurred.
6.Earnestine and Hazels in Memphis.
Later, we find the place is reportedly haunted.
We had a few beers and ate possibly the best handmade hamburger Ive ever had.
We were buzzed but I still felt a bit uneasy up there.
There was one door closed and you could tell someone was in there.
Figured it was the office or something.
It looked it, inside and out.
The lady whod been showing us housesreallytried to push us to commit to this one.
We all admitted that the creepy feeling was the strongest when we opened the basement door.
None of us was brave enough to go down.
Like, people had been killed or something.
We all admitted wed gotten the same feeling and politely noped right out of there.
8.Forest Haven is an abandoned insane asylum in Maryland.
Its posted no trespassing and technically patrolled by guards, but in reality is very easy to get into.
I was there two weeks ago with my SO, exploring and taking photos.
We actually found a stack of patient files in a dark, windowless room.
He has been at Forest Haven for five years.
Only the age and duration change from page to page.
The facility was ordered to close in 1974, but didnt actually close its doors until 1991.
In its last year of operation, there were 9 deaths at the asylum.
Kenny was one of them.
He shared the same first and middle name as my SO.
Just a weird, creepy coincidence in a cold, wet, creepy place.
9.I had a friend who cleaned out and sold foreclosed homes for a living.
From the moment we got there, it was unsettling.
Numbers outside each of the bedroom doors, large closets/ weird spaces turned into bedrooms.
About 5 years ago I was living in a town just outside of Washington DC.
The house was a short 2 story house with a basement that was built in the 50s.
The whole house has a weird vibe to it, not exactly scary, but unsettling.
It was VERY dark out, and I didnt know I was near a school.
Kids should only be allowed to laugh in groups during daylight, in plain sight.
12.I was in a youth hostel in the Netherlands.
More spiders than I have ever seen in my life.
The windows barely let in any light at all.
And the spiders were fed by the insane amount of mosquitos.
Biggest spiders I have ever seen as well, other than tarantulas at the zoo.
Spiders in the NL are not supposed to be that big.
I never knew bugs could be obese before.
13.I found an old abandoned farm house a little ways outside of my little town.
It looked as if the people who had lived there just up and left one day.
All their clothes were still hanging in the closet.
State fair ribbons were stuck all over one wall, one dating back to 1912.
To make it creepier, I explored the house at about 3 AM.
The silence of that place felt so heavy and it made me very uncomfortable being there.
14.An abandoned mental institution in NJ.
The offices still had patient files and the pediatric area still had kids artwork.
It had been abandoned for about eight years at that point.
It was really creepy and also really sad.
When my grandfather died about 10 years later, his was put there too.
That room always creeped me out for some reason growing up, & I didnt like going in there.
16.I went to an interview shortly out of grad school.
Im a librarian, and it was a cataloguing job.
It was located outside of the city, on a remote country road.
There were no other buildings or houses located nearby.
The address was ahouse.
I was desperate enough to not turn around and drive away.
I get up to the porch, and there was a VERY LARGE dog waiting in the mud room.
The place is musty, and has a Bates motel meets The Office decor.
Am I going to be murdered?
Shes super strict about a lot of things, but especially the dog.
No complaints about dog, ever.
I got the hell out of there, and ignored further emails from him.
The moral of the story is that you shouldnt apply to random jobs without researching.
17.The gas chamber in Mauthausen concentration camp.
Its a deeply truly horrifying experience.
18.The solitary confinement cells at Alcatraz which is a pretty creepy place all on its own.
But those cells are like the Heart of Darkness.
10/10 for creepy, will not go back.
19.Theres an abandoned mental hospital in my great aunts old neighborhood.
Looking back on it I think that she walked there purposely.
They had a playground but all the equipment was made for adult sized people.
I started to play on it and then had a whatthefuuuu moment looking around.
Like Alice in wonderland.
It was so bizarre.
And then I asked what the building had been.
(Adults were having polite small talk and hadnt Seemed to notice their setting).
She explained what it had been.
Adults looked kinda weirded out.
I didnt see any ghosts or anything like that but it was the most unsettling feeling.
That was resulting from a place.
20.Found a pile of human bones on an operating room of a sunken ship.
21.The abandoned turnpike in central Pennsylvania, specifically the Sideling Hill tunnel.
I went in the middle of winter, and there was nobody around besides the person I was with.
Very creepy, but cool.
22.Personally, the Royal Derwent Hospital in New Norfolk, Tasmania.
Its the old asylum, now derelict, partially burned, and partly destroyed by arson.
It was the longest continuously operating mental health institution in Australia.
Its an entirely hopeless place to be inside.
And the rotting and decrepit building really helps sell the illusion.
The coal vanes under the ground are on fire and have been for years.
The ground smokes and is hot.
The town is abandoned.
24.In high school my friends and I would go up to the local abandoned state mental hospital to explore.
The rooms were mostly creepy from the state of decay they were in.
The graffiti wasnt creepy, just markings from other teenagers.
Sometimes we would find bullet casings scattered on the floor.
However, the creepiest area I saw were the underground tunnels.
25.My neighbor has an old cemetery in her wooded backyard.
26.A room converted from the previous morgue in a hospital about 135 years old.
27.I explored the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans.
It was closed for Katrina and never opened again.
28.I was on a family vacation to Atlanta, about 1972.
We went to visit some cousins of my grandmothers.
Twin sisters, never married, in their 80s.
The house was in a rundown neighborhood.
From the street youd think it was abandoned.
Overgrown yard, part of the roof caved in, boarded up windows.
Wallpaper pealing, old portraits half fallen.
Looking up to the second floor from the stairs, just cobwebs and collapsed ceilings.
They said they hadnt been up their in years.
And definitely rat noises.
They both looked and lived like ghosts, and seemed half mad, very civil and proper but off.
He can live with us.
I burst into tears, and we left.
29.The crypt (I think thats what it was) of a church in Bayeux, France.
I chose the church.
IIRC they had just found the crypt a couple of years before.
Like, Im going to get sick right here nauseous.
Went upstairs to get some air, and the feeling went away instantly.
Creeped me out, and when I went down with the group afterwards I felt totally fine.
30.Operating room for brain surgery.
They tighten down clamps on your head so it cant move.
Then knock you out.
I had a bunch of scabs and taped cotton balls across my face and scalp.
Then they seal up your skull and sign off on it.
They use reciprocating saws and similar power tools to carpenters, its morbid, terrifying, cold.
But it can give you your life back.
