1.Used to do security work for a company that has stores in malls…
Being in a mall late at night by yourself is super creepy… One of which was particularly desolate.
Set back in the woods, and pretty remote.
Ethan Hoover
No other lights around, surrounded by woods.
3.I live right next to a disused airfield.
Its a square kilometre of completely clear, flat land and is really unnerving.
theres also the control tower in the centre that gets extremely spooky at night.
Theres a playground near me thats actually built on the foundations of a tuberculosis sanatorium.
My son loves it during the day, but at dusk we skedaddle.
6.Antique shops and second hand stores.
It didnt help it was an old building from the 1800s too.
Thumps, whispering, and shadows were normal.
Whenever she got in new stock, new things started happening.
I was weird and loved it.
(All my cousins were chickens.)
7.Might be low hanging fruit here, but theaters.
Acting theaters, not movie theaters.
For a while I was helping closing up our big local old theater.
Theres just no way to not assume that place is absolutely haunted.
Pretty sure no one was ever murdered there, but somehow that place is definitely haunted.
A lot of them are nocturnal, and youre sometimes unfamiliar with the sounds an animal makes.
Not being able to see the cute fluffys, your brain starts to give you misinformation.
Cranes and herons make it sound like Jurassic Park.
And you cant see them.
Squirrels and armadillos in the bushes, or falling out of trash cans.
Snakes that blend in with the cracks and lines of sidewalks.
First few weeks can be creepy, and you question the safety of your job.
But you get used to it.
A personal favorite: I had never heard goats before.
At night their sounds are fucking terrifying.
I was less afraid of the jaguar.
It felt like I was the only person left alive after some apocalypse.
Id have to walk it at night to babysit my neighbors kids and the difference was crazy.
At night the roar of the frogs is deafening.
The trees seem to encroach on the road and you catch glowing eyes in the woods around you.
11.My apartment…. after the lights go out the roaches get to have their fun.
Just mummys in cases.
It wasnt night time, but holy crap it was the creepiest place Ive ever been!
Night shift cleaner here.
It would be a great place to film horror movies.
The one I work at hasnt been remodeled since the 70s.
Except for tiles and porcelain.
Its like an 80s horror movie.
The Deep black Pool in a completely silent huge room.
The strange sounds you here.
The atmosphere just gives me the creeps, but it gets more terrifying when strange stuff happens.
One time the speakers in the pool started playing music out of no where.
When I opened the door to the room to investigate the speakers stopped and went static.
I walked towards the control room to turn the speakers off.
When I was in the center or the room it just stopped.
Then I heard a sploosh like something just quietly got into the pool.
I noped the fuck out of there and locked the door.
The pavilion is used to host banquets such as weddings, proms, etc.
but at night its the most unsettling building Ive ever been in.
The fucking ATV battery died, so here I am middle of the night in a fucking landfill.
I had to walk back to my truck and leave the ATV until the next day.
That walk back was eerie as fuck, noises everywhere and was pitch black.
1/10 wouldnt do again.
17.Indoor self-storage facilities can be a little weird at night, especially the ones with motion lights.
Dark hallways that all look the same and the light follows you.
you might almost picture the fermented decapitated head behind one of the doors.
Theyre horrifying at night.
To be more specific, my high school.
A lot of hallways have no windows and even more are completely isolated.
My whole school is in the middle of no where surrounded by citrus trees and grass.
It feels like what hell looks like.
If youre wondering why Ive been at the school after hours, theres a few things.
19.Any body of water I cant see the bottom of.
Fuck, going in my childhood pool at night always got me on edge.
20.My basement growing up was creepy.
There was a weird storage are that you couldnt access unless you had a ladder or something.
The door was about 3ft wide.
the are itself was pretty deep.
Like easy could fit a few people in there.
I never found out what it was used for.
21.A childrens rehab facility.
My son had an 80 stay and I would stay there with him overnight.
So I had to make my way down the hall to use the public one.
The lights were dimmed at night and everyones room had beeping machines.
The creepy part was the noises that would float out of some of the other patients rooms.
This was a facility that rehabilitated children up to 19 y/o with various health problems.
Sick kids can be creepy AF sometimes, its heartbreaking.
Staring into that dark abyss.
Theres a bridge about 5-minutes from my house, just past down town, perfectly fine during the day.
But at night its creepy as fuck, the town crackheads congregate there and yell at each other.
25.Disneyland at 4 am.
26.Any kind of dock by the water, beautiful during the day, nightmare at night.
Going to mourn your loved ones during the day, going to desecrate a grave at night.
28.A church doesnt even have to be abandoned.
I didnt believe in ghosts until I worked at one.
A lot of things come alive in the sand and the shallows become very active.
31.Usually any summer camp.
32.Surprised I havent seen this, but the Holocaust museum in Berlin.
At night, I wouldnt even walk past the columns that are ankle high.
33.I find the opposite effect in night clubs.
At night they are exciting, loud, music blaring, lights flashing, packed with happy people.
They look really sketchy, and they do not make you want to come back at night.
