What is the unlikeliest place you've found scary, disturbing, or eerie?

Question

Graveyards and old derelict houses are a given -- but are there seemingly fine and normal places that've given you the heebie-jeebies?

Answer 1

Bear with me, this is a TRUE STORY.

I used to work at Walt Disney World as a janitor, or "Custodial Host" as they called us. One day, they were doing some kind of an overhaul on the "It's a Small World" so it was shut down, and they called me in to clean while this work was being done.

The place was eerie enough because without the music it was just this big dark cave with a bunch of dolls everywhere. It was obvious they had intended to switch what section was what, so most of the dolls had the trappings that made them culturally unique removed i.e. the clothes and heads. So I'm cleaning and suddenly without any warning the whole ride fires up around me! I'll tell you I have never in my life seen anything scarier than a room full of dancing, naked, headless children singing "It's a Small World after all! It's a Small World After All!"

Answer 2

The employee-only hallways "behind the scenes" in shopping malls.
A seemingly never-ending maze of loooooong monotonous passageways... military-grey cinder-block walls lined with non-descript locked doors, cement staircases, and poorly lit service elevators. In reality, they just look very utilitarian... but they seem to evoke this eerie feeling that someone is following you... and that you're more likely to get lost than find your way out. The ones at Water Tower Place in Chicago are particularly creepy. That mall is seven stories tall so the maze-like quality is rather intense... you could wander those passages for days before ever finding a doorway to the real world. Somebody really ought to film a horror flick there... I can just picture the ingenue frantically testing door after door while the knife-wielding maniac patiently ambles towards her from down the hall...

Answer 3

The Pima Air Museum in Tucson, Arizona. During the day it's a cool place, has all kinds of old aircraft on display. Right next to the road they have a few B-52 bombers, and they are huge. Anyway, I was working down there one night and I took a wrong turn on the way to my hotel. Tucson is very dark at night and as I was driving the wrong way with no one else around I came upon the museum and saw the silouhettes of those huge B-52s and it freaked me out for some reason. I can't really figure out why it freaked me out.

Answer 4

St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral in Fargo, ND USA. Supposedly the original cardinal was buried underneath the Cathedral. Even before I knew that, I felt unease there...and I was raised Catholic! Another place is The Gardner in Fargo (it's an apartment building now)...it's a really old building and the staircase is really neat, but really creepy...I don't know why though. I have the feeling that someone was hanged there (accidental or suicide). I'm the type of person that wants to help all people...living or dead, but sometimes my body won't let me. lol. Both are really normal places.

Answer 5

The university I attended was creepy. We found out that it had been transformed from an insane asylum used to do medical experiments on patients. I recall laying down in bed, which was more like a hospital bed than a dorm bed, with a rail on the side. I turned off the lights and was about to drift off to sleep, when it sounded like a bunch of horses came galloping down the short hallway, in front of my room. My mat lifted off the floor for several moments. There wasn't a breeze, no open windows, and our wing had only six rooms in it, and the security door was closed. There was no one around.

Answer 6

have been those 'undesirable comments' wrote till now the movie premiered? Do you base a number of judgement on movie comments? kind of, because of the fact lots of the flicks i watch are clever video clips, i'd desire to would desire to examine a assessment to understand the flicks deeper which skill, or how somebody else perceived it besides. because of the fact i distinctly lots have not have been given any preparation (on something clever) i'd desire to would desire to examine up because of the fact i probably overlooked specific aspects of the plot which result how i choose the movie. Do you get indignant once you examine comments you quite disagree with? not probably, people who waste their own time to place in writing a undesirable assessment insulting the movie particularly of explaining why it sucked are idiots not nicely worth thinking approximately, in case you wrote your individual assessment how balanced could you attempt to make it? i could be shite at comments for a similar reason as my first answer. i in my opinion think of this is plausible to place in writing a first rate-ish assessment for any movie. in case you think approximately who the movie is aimed in the direction of and %. out any redeeming effective properties. Do you compromise? specific, this is stable to locate reviewers who you recognize will provide a extensive opinion on the movie particularly than specializing in what they think of. BQ: Natalie Portman is an actor, Mila Kunis is a movie star. So it may be Kunis out. Wait i'm male are not i? Portman is warmer. (nonetheless on the 2nd i could bounce on the possibility of the two.)

Answer 7

Probably this well to do upper-class house I went to with a friend. I've always been perceptive to emotions in places and the place LOOKED nice, but it bombarded me with negative emotions like hate, anger, frustration, and fear. Turned out the place was owned by a really unhappy couple who was abusing their kids, but they kept up appearances.

And, I also don't find graveyards creepy.

Answer 8

My closit!!! LOL It's a large room off my bedroom with 2 closits,2 windows,and our dressers. When we first bought the house,my mom and my kids and me walked though for the first time(with the kids) After we left I asked my son if he liked the house. He said "Yes,but who was the old man in the upstairs?" I got really creeped out! We have been here over two years now,If he sleeps in my room he makes me shut that closit door so the "man" can't watch him! One day he came downstairs (in the middle of the day) and asked why "that man with white hair was laying on my bed?"....NOW I SHUT THAT DOOR AT NIGHT WHEN I SLEEP!!!!! LOL,great now I'm scarred myself and don't wanna go up to bed tonight! lol

Answer 9

I GOT TO GO

I got to go, I got to go,
Oh no! I got to go.
They're all asleep, can't be no help
with things that ain't of light-time.

All day it lurked, the little beast,
laired-up in ghoulish shadow.
Aslump amongst the weave and web,
of all the eight-legged squealies.

It stirs, it stirs. I know it stirs,
although it never moves.
It's slept the day, the wierdy thing,
and hungers into night-time.

Oh horror-fangs I must not see,
but taste their breathed-past air.
Slow razored claws I dare not hear,
but feel their scritchied shiver.

It's no quick walk of sun-bright time,
this cold stygian trek.
The hidey-blankets so far back,
through hallwayed caves of night.

The bathroom bulb's a fright away.
Oh terror! I'll never reach it.
So dead and dark, its switch unclicked,
no help--to light the Fears-It.

I swear by heart-crossed toads,
just let me pass-------this once.
I will be good--won't wait again.
Please, now-----I GOT TO GO.
