Spooky small towns

White's City, New Mexico.

Worst place I've ever been in my life. If you ever go or have been to Carlsbad Caverns, it is the "resort" town you have to pass through if you are coming from the East.

My older brother back when we lived in Arkansas was out driving in the woods with his girlfriend and they decided to just go wherever in the woods and they went down a road into a trailer park.

All of the people there weren't talking and just stared at them until they drove back out. While driving away someone threw a rock at their car so they hauled ass out of there.

>>18081901
Explain. Why's it so bad?

>>18081894
Staring at you as if you were an alien is pretty common. I've had that happen in little towns in Italy as well as through the US. I remember once I went into a little roadside diner along Route 66, a place straight out of the '50s, and I didn't even make it through the door. As I was pushing it open, every head turned in the place...only a handful of locals plus the aging waitress, all original interiors but beaten and run-down, a marker board for a menu...and I literally backed out of the place and got back in my car and left, lol.

>>18081908
Semi long story incoming...

>Went to White's City with my grandparents when I was about 8. It was nice at that time.
>About 7 years later my family, just my mom, dad, sister and I want to go see Carlsbad Caverns.
>Grandparents suggest going back to White's City to stay at the resort
>Mom and Dad agree
>Take my sister and I.
>We drive all the way there and realize the place looks closed.
>The Water Park (just a pool with two slides.) has a barbed wire fence around it, no cars but ours there, and the shops all look closed.


Here is where the fun starts, I'll post in next comment.

>>18081915

I've experienced this in small town eateries. It's a weird thing to have everyone just staring. Be fun to just look back and yell ooga booga before leaving but I'd never have the nerve lol

International Falls, Minnesota
(Technically, there is more activity when you go a bit west, but no one lives over there.)
All kinds of aliens. Like, if you want to meet some aliens, just go out in the woods over there and do some drugs. I'm not even kidding. I can even take to where the aliens like to meet up with me, nearby a hole.
And, no, my experience is not special. I mean, I have the most extensive alien contact of anyone I know, but almost everyone has met aliens, ghosts, possessed animals/whatever in those woods. It was one of the last places in the continental USA to be populated by humans. The aliens are there to study the local flora, ect.


But the city of International Falls is also a Satanic capital of the Western Hemisphere. If you've ever heard of the "Moral Majority", this city is where those heathens had their start. I'm sure that cities like New York actually have more activity because they have such a greater population, but the Illuminati uses those woods as a training ground for super soldiers after their soul has been split via Satanic ritual.

As much as I'd like to keep ranting about this, I need to get ready for school and maybe do some Tai Chi.

>>18081915
this is autism

of fucking course they are going to look at you. They dont get a lot of visitors and they are just seeing whos coming in. Big fucking deal. How goddamn beta do you have to be to walk in a diner then back out because people looked at you?
Ive been on plenty of road trips and been in many small 2 horse towns. None of them were creepy, just old. They are just regular people in there.

this thread is just pure, distilled autism.

>>18081940
>see sunlight through plastic
what plastic? Huh?
>bathtub is on the ground
what?
>hop over fence to go around back and the wall is gone
what?

>>18081950
No, not really. I'm usually really comfy in small towns. Even creepy ones. I know how to fit in because, you know...they can see the white trash in my genes.

That is probably the only bad small town experience I have ever had, personally.

>>18081940

>>18081972
>What plastic

You know those cheap bathtubs made of thin plastic with a smaller porcelain tub underneath? Like, the part that was supposed to be the "tile" for the wall surrounding the bathtub was actually just cheap, thin, molded plastic. And since there was no solid wall behind it, you could see the rising sun through it.

>what?

The bathtub in the room next to ours fell out of it's socket and was on the ground. It's cheap molded plastic "tile" walls cracked I guess and it slid out the back.

>what?

There was a fence blocking the back of the building we were in. It was one of those long, two story motel buildings like you see in movies. We had to hop the fence to investigate as to why we could see light through the bathtub's plastic wall/lining.

When we got there, there was no back wall. The wooden/vinyl siding was gone and there was no Sheetrock behind it. You could see the plumbing of the whole building.

>>18081990
Did u stay at whites city resort? I stayed there a few months ago and it's a long two story building so I'm wondering if it's the same one

>>18081990
i remember you posting this story quite a while back; nice to see you around again.

>>18082013
Near Carlsbad and Roswell?

Yep. I truly think we just went at a bad time and they were renovating or something. But...fuck.

>>18082018
Oh yeah! And people were googling the resort on all those hotel websites and keking at the reviews.

And It's good to be back.

Cairo, Illinois is terrifying to drive through. The city's economy was basically destroyed by an interstate being built around it and the ferry business dying. After that it was finished off by a pseudo war between the 70's equivalent of the BLM movement and a white supremacist neighborhood watch militia. On top of all of that, to get in or out of the town you have to drive under a massive metal floodgate that feels like you're entering a formerly quarantined compound. Today it's mostly just spooky and crimed-ridden.

Been meaning to check this place out and do some photography. Heard it's pretty dangerous though.

Southern IL in general is pretty creepy. I used to drive down to visit my girlfriend. Very bizarre people down there.

I was in vacation through east Europe and we stopped the car to take some pictures of the beautiful scenery in the middle if nowhere.
A random police car stopped by and they were like
>I hope to GOD you aren't going to sleep here tonight
>no, why?
>just beware of the small town ahead. People die
Then they rode away.

We continued the trip and the very moment we entered the small town, a group of dirty kids ran in front of the car and tried to stop it with their bodies.
I stopped and when I saw a group of gorillas come at us we turned around and full speed away. Holy shit I get goosebumps just thinking about that fucking town.
Back home I did some research and apparently people get stopped in their tracks by kids running in front of the cars, then they get mugged and killed.

>>18085217
What parts are you from? here in West Sussex all the little towns and villages are quite nice, noone here stares. Then again there is some tourism so perhaps people are more used to it, and it's not exactly in the middle of nowhere.

>>18081976
Actually you hit a very valid point there. I'm from an extremely small satellite town of another small town in south georgia. I've lived in savannah and Atlanta and git along fine there but right now I live in Cedartown and while it's bigger than where I grew up the locals all treated me great from the first day I was here. I've seen other outsiders literally run out of town though. It's that small town white trash gene that shines like a beacon to these people.

>>18084420

No, he's right. If you lived in a small town where you've known everyone in it your entire life you'd stare if a new face came into your regular diner. Also he used reasoning to back up his dismissal as well.

Checked some reviews on the White's City resort before reading.

Yes it's kind of a wrecked place, but you're lying. It's not missing the whole back of the building. No problem with insects or snakes either. No problem with the service.

Also.. no building stands and misses it's back.

Cool story though but no need to make something up. Just a regular, run down tourist resort with 7 inhabitants it is.

Point Pleasant, WV

It's the site of the infamous mothman and UFO sightings.


>Paranormal enthusiasts flock to Point Pleasant in search of Mothman, a creature said to be a harbinger of imminent disaster that inhabits an abandoned TNT factory from World War II. John Keel published a book in 1975 entitled The Mothman Prophecies, and a film inspired by the novel was released in January 2002. Later, another film, loosely based on the legend, was also released. The town is host to a Mothman Museum, and every year it holds a Mothman Festival that features tours, pageants, balls, films, music, and other events to celebrate what they consider "one of Point Pleasant’s largest tourist attractions

>no building stands and misses it's back.

Even a SINGLE wall can keep standing if the conditions are right and nobody comes along with a wrecking ball.

I came to Florida that year it was hit by 3 hurricanes in a row. The motel we usually stayed at was in that exact condition. Standing, with only 3 walls left. And, like the one in Orion's story, it was still open for business.

It was booked solid, in fact - full of traveling construction workers who came to FL to fix all of the destruction and who didn't care about their own conditions because they'd be out working during all daylight hours. The motel just rented all of the rooms on the ground floor. It couldn't rent out the top ones because the roof was gone too (or at least totally fucked up).

When I drove by it again years later, they'd put the wall and roof back up but the place was clearly still in awful condition.

So I think the story is legit.

Woronoco MA, located off of route 20 on the Westfield/Russel boarder.
You wouldn't even know its there unless you knew to turn off one road (yes, one road into this village, one road out). Its a small riverside community with a couple "defunct" factories that appear to be meth labs and a dam with a bridge. This is a one way metal bridge that shakes as you drive over it, and people actually live on the other side (pictured with factory). I'd say about 100 or so people live down in this area. Very very strange community with only one municipale building that is their firehouse, town hall, post office and police station.

We use to drive out there in college to hike Mt. Teoka and I've seen my fair share of shit. From what appeared to be mobsters or something working behind a run down factory with new barbed wire (Russian Mob owns that town), lights on in the buildings at 2am, strange noises and screams around Mt. Teoka, a really strange Sheriff that follows you but doesn't approach you, I can go on and on.

Woronoco Mass, fucking strange little place.

Not a bad experience all in all, we still chuckle about it and have been back to the town many times since. The people there are pretty friendly.

I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned this city
>Hilldale UT
>Literal FLDS city
I don't have any specific scary stories but just the thought of being anywhere near that place creeps me out. There are a lot of stories of the town sheriff using the police force to forcefully take underage girls to Warren Jeffs or some other polygamist to rape and "marry". If you drive into that town an all black suv will follow you until you leave. The locals are all incredibly hostile to any outsider and will not only stare but tell you to leave and threaten you. If you're a woman and you're alone you will almost certainly be kidnapped into a life of being raped by some polygamist whackjob that believes he's doing God's will. Seriously, spooky fucking place. If you're traveling from Arizona to Utah make sure to give Colorado city and Hilldale a VERY wide berth.

Wow shit, speaking of small towns I found this while looking for the cemetery in my town on google maps. I censored out the name mostly out of there's already some pretty spooky shit up here and I'd rather it be left alone than bring it in the focus of others. Sorry about that. The town was once big in the 70's but then all the mines closed down and the town is left with roughly 5k~ residents left. Whole lots of tiny, abandoned towns around too. I recently explored an abandoned farm house if anyone wants pictures of it. I wasn't able to go inside since the floor was sinking in, but I did manage to get a good look around outside.

I've lived in southern GA my whole life, every town here is a tiny shit hole town. Town i grew up in had a population of 600 and i had to drive 30 minutes to the next city over to go to school. There's abandoned buildings and sheds and barns everywhere in Georgia, not necessarily scary but very desolate and eerie. The feeling of total aloneness is very overwhelming. Come check out Pavo, Ga. We have a dollar general, IGA, one restaurant, a library, NAPA autoparts and a hardware store. Also inbreds. We got plenty of those too.

KY fag here. Been to the mothman festival a few times. It's cool and neat to talk about, but also nothing more than a made up folks tale that happen to get bigger than anyone there expected. Now the story works nicely as a source of tourist income every year in a town that would otherwise not have much else. That being said point pleasant is a nice little place and the people are friendly, if you live within a state away it's worth going to the MM festival, it's cool man.

UK here, interested in american small villages. been googling the shit out of all these ones mentioned. they give me the heebie jeebies lads. in the uk any small town is will be no more than 10 mins from somewhere bigger. the apparent lawlessness / lack of civilisation of some of the places mentioned here is amazing. the usa is so massive... must be great to live somewhere where you can explore weird places and cut-off. isolated towns.

LOTS of odd small towns in West Virginia And far western Maryland. hell, there is even a town names Accident in Garret Co Maryland.

I have alot of friends who are truck drivers and have seen some pretty weird shit. Theyve seen robed figures walking alone in the woods miles and miles from any houses, have had locals stare at them while standing in their front yards as if they were waiting for something to happen and seen hairy humanoid figures watch them from the woods at night.

New mexico has some of the weirdest places from what ive heard. Shitty, run down truck stops filled with perverts and occult graffitti written on stall doors. One friend even had several tarantulas rush him while on the shitter. He managed to stomp them and smash the others with a small hammer he carries with him. Hes also seen odd lights in the skies at night and was tried to be stopped by dirty, inbred looking people on the highway late at night

Yeah, pretty cool. Lots of old, abandoned towns around where gold mines used to be.

Creepy town: Stull, Kansas. On a two-lane highway between Lawrence, KS and Topeka, KS. Cemetery on one side of road, town on other side. It is said that the cemetery in Stull, Kansas is the only other cemetary in the USA that Satan appears on Halloween at Midnight. The other cemetery is in Salem, MA. Lots of spoopy stories about Stull, even during the Summer, they just do not like people going to their cemetery. I have never seen anyone in the town as many times as I have driven past that town over the years. And the town looks exactly the same as it did when I first saw it many moons ago.

Old pasta is old

Fucking Dudleytown, Connecticut.

Never been there. Apparently it's heavily patrolled.

A lot of lore surrounds the town dating back to the Revolutionary War and the founding of the colonies. The town's founders supposedly brought a family curse over from England. A lot of people dying, losing their minds, being struck by lightning. Some guy lost his entire family to various strange, misfortunes and one day walked into the woods never to be seen again. There are also stories about a shapeless black "thing" in the woods.

I wonder what native tribes thought of the land before the colonists got there. There's this distinctly American fear of treading upon some ancient burial ground, but I think what's creepier is when tribes avoid the land altogether. When some place has been recognized as "off" or "wrong" for a long time.

>>18089073
Kek, same here, as in from Vegas and thought of the Bundy shit that went down

No mentions of Odd, West Virginia and the Whitaker family who lives there? They supposedly inspired the movie Wrong Turn.

>The town is so secluded that they inbred and now they're all nutcases. They walk on all fours like dogs and grunt and bark to communicate. When you drive by them they'll chase your car and throw rocks, sticks, or even feces at you.
>Supposedly there are four of them
>Older, cross-eyed, bald, toothless guy, he typically does the shooting
>Younger son with stunted limbs who shambles around like a fucking zombie literally named Chicken Nugget
>Other son will literally run on all fours at your car and bark and throw shit at you
>Rumors that their neighbors take care of them and won't hesitate to get involved if you decide to mess with them

Helltown Ohio is like this. I dont know if helltown is just a nickname, but its what its called. Its near me and there are a few places people say are haunted. Me and some friends went there a awhile back to "ghost hunt" (smoke pot a reportedly super haunted place called crybaby bridge) and didnt even make it there. A cop (probably the only one even working at the time) pulled us over because he'd never seen our car before and it was suspicious. He basically made a big thing about intimidating us and we left after that.

There's a town called Hurley in Virginia, in Buchanan County. If you drive through there and they don't recognize your car, the whole town calls each other and they go out and stand on their front porches and stare at you. The reason is because they think you're with child protective services and they want to see which pillhead's baby is getting confiscated today, but it's still creepy.

Haysi, Virginia isn't as bad, but it's similar. If you go into a store or restaurant, everyone interacts with you the absolute bare minimum they have to. They don't say anything to you, not even the obligatory "Thank you." Servers will just drop your food on the table and leave.

When I lived in Appalachia I was cautioned by the locals never to go to Jolo, West Virginia.

Are there any scary towns like this in BC?

>>18082110
Grew up in the bootheel of MO. Place was none too prosperous. But even back then, folks would warn you away from visiting Cairo, IL.

Same. New Mexico is filled with crazy shit.

Me and my boys use to cruise the back roads Grants and Albuquerque, we saw quite a bit of fucked up things. Also some really bizarre small towns.

Some messed up things: a fucking capra demon sitting Indian style in middle of road and disappearing when a group deer ran across, a bizarre whistling song on the side of a unihibated mountain, a 10 foot tall bull/or cow, roads that lasted abnormally long when compared to gps

Crazy shit my man

What if in large cities we are all trying to manifest reality but there are so many of us that our manifestations often cancel each-others out or get lost in the noise?

That would mean that you are more capable of manifesting reality in low-population areas like small towns, or ideally complete wilderness.

Maybe this is why small towns are so spooky.

I'm not sure about now, but people definitely use to. when i lived there about 5 years ago I went through them with some friends, didn't see anyone just darkness forever and little openings every now and again where it connects to other tunnels. Ended up popping out of a manhole on the strip one time because the water got too deep lol

I live in the shithole town of Newton Falls Ohio, it's tiny af but probably the creepiest place I've been. we have about 10-15 ghost stories, ranging from a ghost who smells like bacon at our library, to the ghost of a little retarded boy who was locked in an attic above what is now a Pizza shop, and died in the heat. We have an old covered bridge from the 1800s which is spooky enough on its own. But someone an hero'd under the bridge and you can see where the rope was tied to the bridge.

>>18103842
I recall one time me and my younger sister were exploring the woods in town and we stumbled across what seems to be the remains of a large campfire. Around the fire in a circle were sleeping bags, about 6 of them. They had obviously been there for a while, covered in leaves and mud and shit. But they were just abandoned. There were bags with some food left, but animals had gotten to them. And there was clothing everywhere. It was bizarre. We got out of there quick. If anyone is interested I could probably find the pics I took that day. They're on my old phone but whatever

All of these stories fascinate me so much, I'd love to buy a car and drive through America stopping off in some of the places mentioned. Though as fun as it sounds, I'm a southern Brit and I'm not sure if I want to risk going "missing" and ending up a topic on this board.

Being from a small town in Maine word spreads around pretty quickly, I asked my parents if they had any idea who the guy might of been, but no one I asked had any idea who lived there, only that it was a farm, I have no idea what he meant by that, and I never went back, that was 3 years ago, his words stuck to me for some reason, the way he said it, the deep sadness in his tear filled eyes, it haunted me for a while.

Basically any small town or local eatery turns into that if you're black. I can go into the small restaurant near my family's cabin, where I've been going since I was a little kid, and still get odd looks and kids yanking on their parents sleeves and pointing people at me. I don't even think these people are racist, just so shocked at seeing someone non white that they lose track of their manners.

Unless you move to a bigger city, you just have to ignore it. It's unnerving, but very rarely do they have ill will. Obviously every once in a while someone will mutter something about "damn niggers" just loud enough for me to hear, but not often enough for me to generalize.

Officially only near the border of Mexico. This town sounds very shady, though, and it would be pretty easy to set one up illegally. Mass communication isn't as big as we like to think it is, and backwater weirdness like this is actually pretty common in first world countries.

>>18082110
Totally unrelated but can someone explain to me how the American understanding of a city is different from the Uk's? Just looked up this city which has a pop of 2 and a half thousand compare that to my home town which has a population of 10,000

Are there in-town woods that DON'T have these in them? That's pretty normal, it would've been stranger if you hadn't seen anything like that.

I was in middle school during that time. My parents didn't give a fuck about the hurricanes and were just sitting outside the balcony smoking two packs of cigs and a few Cuban cigars while drinking and I was outside the house with my dog playing with a soccer ball. Good shit. Only thing that slightly bothered me but I shrugged off was all the constant stinging pain from the rain.

It's great until you accidentally end up in a town you really shouldn't be in and if you can't get out fast enough or be careful enough you'll get absolutely fucked and be terrified that the least worst thing that can happen to you is dying. I've passed by and around many small, almost isolated, towns before whenever I had to go on cross-country trips from Florida to California and Washington to visit old friends and the "stay away" type towns are seriously fucked and corrupt beyond belief. I remember that somewhere between Texas and Washington I was with my wife and we had to pull in at a local town since one of my wheels blew out and not even two seconds outside of our car we're getting assaulted by to overgrown harambes until I pulled out my gun and they hauled ass. The townspeople were looking at us with ominous stares the entire time and the town sheriff tried to arrest me with false charges of "illegal possession of a firearm", even though I had a license that I showed him, which would have left my wife alone and vulnerable. Unless I know the town well I always avoid them because of experiences like that.
Of coarse most small towns are OK but for the few that aren't it's not even worth the risk of going near them.

Goddamn. That's crazy.

The dude's crazy, but I wouldn't let it put you off from staying at the cottage. It seems like he's only a danger to himself.

As for trusting a local, you didn't trust him the first time either, so there's nothing different there. Your dad already told him to fuck off, then told him to stop work, and the guy still wanted his Darwin! At that point, you might as well just sit inside the cottage and film the results for YouTube.

>>18103933
Just bring a friend and come visit us sometime.

>>18096971
Been there before. Can confirm the heavy patrols. Everyone just looked either depressed, terrified, confused, angry, all of the above, or a mix of the four. From what I've seen the few times I've passed by there, nearly all the kids are constantly inside at all times and the few kids that were out looked normal at first but you could somehow tell that something's wrong. Same goes for everyone else. The only people that even seem to be normal are the cops. The place is terrifying just to look at but even more so once inside.

>>18085217
What freaky shit?

>>18105178
>>18096971
All I'm reading about the place is that it was abandoned in the 1800s and there's very little left of its existence. Its biggest patrol seems to be its no trespassing signs since the land is privately owned.

>>18094481
going anywhere government related in UT is a bad idea. Also there are plenty of places like gold hill here, stray far enough from the major highways and you'll find them

Lived in Hudson NH as a kid, it has become a sort of wealthy town now but when I lived there it was mostly woods.

There was one time me and my cousin crossed a stream, went over the fence and explored the woods behind our house that stretched for miles.
I'll never forget coming across an old Toyota from what looked like the 91-94. Had Vin number etched out, no plates. We got the trunk open and saw at least 50-100 small animal bones in the back. We were creeped and went farther and saw an open top Jeep flipped over charred. No tires, missing some parts, but it was scorched.
Obviously the fire department had to have seen a a jeep producing all that smoke but still made no sense why someone would do it.
Few months later, we walked into the woods with my friends so I could show them (it was nighttime), everything was gone. And out of nowhere we hear something walking towards us. We all sieze up, guy casually walks by with his bike (there is no path , just trees and brush for miles ) and doesn't say a word, doesn't make eye contact. It was like 1am, we at least looked like we were exploring, he just looked lost and confused.
Very odd

>>18105275
At least it was just some lost guy. Would've scared the shit out of me.

>>18084420
This is normal in eastern Europe...

Was once driving back to Michigan from South Dakota, and somewhere in Minnesota close to the Wisconsin border I was low on gas. Saw a sign saying 'Gas Station' at the next exit, but it wasn't one of those logo/branded signs, it was just white and blue.

Arrive, and there are basically two buildings: this old af gas station with pumps from the 40s or 50s and dirty windows you couldn't see through, and next door a bar with about 8 people sitting on the steps staring at me.

I nope'd the other direction, got back on the Interstate, and made it to the next bit of civilization.

Since then, I only stop when there are clearly defined logos so I can at least assume there's some big corporation with enough oversight that murders *probably* aren't going on in their gas station.

1. Cairo in particular used to be much larger until it was rekt by changes in transportation infrastructure. It's at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, both hugely important for river traffic, which was a much bigger deal in the past. Later on, as highways were built it lost its economic function and became a ghost town.
There's also the difference in how the word "city" is used legally--in Britain it usually has to be the seat of a church diocese, whereas in most of the US it's a generic term for a kind of municipal government entity.

>>18104849
It's really dependent in what state you live in, I'm from Ohio where if you have less that 5000 you're a village and more than that you can switch to city status.

Anyone ever been to Jerome, AZ? It's a little ghost town up in the Black Hills. Apparently it has a population over 400, but the time I went there I didn't see a single person on the streets. It was still daylight and I walked throughout the entire town. There were parked cars all over, but no people and all of the shops were closed. It was overcast and snowing slightly. I felt like I was in Silent Hill or an episode of the Twilight Zone. I read online later that the historic hotel overlooking the town is supposed to be haunted.

I hope to god that this is bait.

New Waverly, Texas. It's a small nobody town but there are plenty of things wrong with it, It's surrounded by forests that stretch for miles about an hour driving through one side brings you next to TDCJ. The prison is just one of many things here that bring in bad things. There is missing kids every year, slack police work, corruption, and ever since the 80's ritualistic practices. The town went a bit crazy throwing the term satanic rituals around, which attracted groups that perpetuated the claims, some even starting up cults themselves. The KKK still meets at the weight station a bit south of the town. I have seen some creepy examples, strangers spying on farmhouses miles in the middle of nowhere, and people dressed in dark robes at some of the lakes late at night. There is a large cult out there but I don't think it's "satanic" I think its a group of people that do odd shit.

>>18096167
I live in Lawrence, I've got a couple Stull / Clinton stories

>>18088869
I camped there.

>>18106774
go on...

>>18106780
Well I always found Clinton more spooky, it's a little town they flooded when they dammed the Wakarusa River. The town's still down there, but the lake is pretty muddy so it's probably mostly buried by now.

But every once in a while weird stuff will pop up around the lake (I've found weird remains in the hills and old human "trash" from the 60s when the water level is low)

Plus a bunch of people have killed themselves by driving into the lake. Once every 5 or 10 years. I think one woman did it with her kid in the car.

>>18106745
Its not nessecarly satanic but you can bet your ass its evil, you should get a rifle/nigth vision and camp around the lake or what ever then shoot your self some monster

>Looking at map of Kansas
Holy shit. Are there any wilderness areas left, or is it all farmland?
I knew there were a lot of farms there, but fugg.

>>18106810
There's actually a lot less "farmland" than you think. Most of it is just open range, used for grazing cattle. Plus the Reservations, and a number of Protected Areas, plus very few people...


There's some weird shit in Kansas.
Some of the spookiest times I had were at a Bible Camp outside Salina. I went every year for 10 years.

Seems like most of the really weird shit happened early in the season. One year was particularly bad, and after that I noticed that we never went back around to one part of the grounds, and they suddenly got really serious about developing the rest of their land.

>>18095598

Despite of the stupid shit that end up in the news from here, Florida as a whole is actually a pretty good place live in. The people are usually extremely nice, even the street thugs and harambes of the block. Most of the people here are the family/friend oriented honor bound types so despite the few people that you may know, the ones that you do know will almost always have your back. Everyone has a "I don't give a fuck" type of attitude, even the cops, so it's surprisingly easy to make friends here, even with social anxiety and whatever else you may have. People here aren't easily offended so you could normally talk as much shit as you want as long as you're still careful of your surroundings. Even though the real estate is still shit, it's honestly still not too bad. Finding a job here does take time, because of immigrants, but as long as you're qualified you could essentially get any job that you're looking for and be taken almost immediately afterwards. Drugs are plentiful and easily obtainable nearly everywhere. Even though we have such a large crime rate, as long as you know the local thugs/harambes/dealers/potheads or have that "I don't give a fuck" or "seriously?" attitude you should be 100℅ fine. And the majority of Florida girls are surprisingly pretty great, once you get past the dumb cunts, and have some pretty cool and fucked up personalities and sense of humor despite appearances. Even the elderly here are surprisingly great and don't act like entitled cunts, they just do normal shit like reminisce, and do drugs(usually), while still enjoying modern society. Even the weebs here are pretty OK and down to earth, surprisingly.

Since we're talking Kansas, on the border between Kansas and Colorado is a small town called Kanserado (super original name, I know.) Theres nobody there. Its a complete ghost town by the train tracks, but theres a gas station that always has fuel. Ita creepy as fuck to pull into, seeing tons of abandoned places. Every now and then we find toys, different cars abandoned on the side of the road, etc.

>>18106132
Most of the seriously 2spooky4me locations are either in South Florida or North Florida so if you really wanted to find some good places you'd have to do a little road trip with a few friends.

Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut. Try going near the Dudleytown village. Had one middle-aged raggedy ass woman come running out of her house saying she was going to curse our souls. Drove back down the road and this really old woman was standing in the middle of the road. She was a little nicer but said the same thing, get out or we'll curse your souls. Had an old car tailgate us even after we got out of the town.
Check it out if you're near CT. The entrance to Dudleytown is on Dark Entry Rd., not even lying.

Brattleboro, Vermont has some creepy shit in it. East Brat woods are haunted, there's a tower across the street from the Retreat (Mental facility) that's supposedly haunted. The locals are weird as hell, and I'm not talking about the artsy folk or the gangbangers. Lots of weird stories coming out of the Latchis theater.
Head there soon though, it's going downhill since the protestors shut down the power plant. The town's economy is down the drain, businesses are moving away, families who have lived there for generations can't live there anymore because of the skyrocketing taxes.

Here in Washington, a few places are like that. Klickitat County in its whole. Fishing along the Klickitat is fun, but people will literally stalk you through the trees the whole time. A place calmed Goldendale is similar, except they do spooky shit. Stack smaller flat stones in front if their driveways. The place is full of witches and farmers.

Yeah I grew up in Southern Illinois. So many cornfields. So empty. And a lot of the buildings are just old. It always felt spooky for me there.

Halfway between Blakely and Henderson, MN is a little state natural reserve along the Minnesota River. I grew up in a town nearby, and between my hometown and Blakely and Henderson we're talking maybe 8,000 people (6,600 in my town of Belle Plaine) about an hour and a half from Minneapolis. We'd go down there to explore the woods, as you can find old concrete dens dug into hillsides where bootleggers would hole up and store product back in the day. On multiple occasions we've been down there and after being in the woods for about ten minutes we'd here splashes in a nearby pond that progressively got louder and closer until we'd hightail it out of dodge. This did not happen every time we were there. Picture the sound of a giant rock being tossed into the water. There's a lot of rumors about crackheads and escaped cons in the river bottoms. About a half hour down the road we have a asylum from the criminally insane that seems to have a breakout every now and again. And sure as shit rumor mill always places them down in the river bottoms by Belle Plaine.

There's a lot of old wives tales I could tell about the area, most I've never totally bought, but a few might have some credence if anyone is interested.

Alright so there's this old house at the end of a neighborhood where the street turns to the right and goes down a hill and it's pretty separated from the other houses by trees and this hill right on the edge of town. As the story goes a crotchety old hard ass died about a decade ago sans family, friends, and anyone close to him other than his dog. The thing is, even though the house is abandoned and is not on the market, and supposedly not passed onto anybody after his death, the lawn is mowed, the house hasn't seemed to deteriorate (paint/siding/shingles), and the fuckin dog is still there.

One night me and a couple buddies get the idea to go down and check the place out. So I drive my old pickup truck to the place, get to the top of the hill at the turn, and begin reversing down the hill. Two guys are in the bed of the pickup, three in the cab with me. As we get closer the acoustics of the hill make it so the damn place is silent. No birds, no animals, nothing. With one of the two main roads in and out of town being right around to the other side of the hill. We pull down to about fifteen feet from the front door, when all the front lights flick on. We froze for a couple seconds, I mean this geezer wouldn't be the only person who ever heard of motion sensing lights. That's when we heard the dog howl. We still couldn't see him, but he knew we were in his territory and he wasn't happy about it. The thing is, the dog was inside the house. Finally, the front door flew open, and I peeled our asses out of there. Never even made it inside. As we got to the top of the hill and back into the well-lit part of the neighborhood, we stopped and got out to discuss. The dog howled one more time while we were talking. The guys in back hadn't seen anyone when the door opened, and nobody could see the dog either. As we got ready to leave, we heard a single gunshot. Booked it, haven't been back.

good story. smart backing in.

how long ago was this? you might be able to look up who owns the property. most cities and towns have some online shit for that.

>>18109491
>most
well, maybe not "most", but a lot of medium to large ones do.

It was about three years ago, might still be worth looking into.

Most the rest of my urban legends for Belle Plaine are explained away by people being meth addicts and psychopaths. There's a trailer park near the edge of town and close to the river itself that hosts a variety show of people threatening you with firearms, staring wildly as some of these people above have been stared at, stealing shit, making weird noises at night that sort of thing.

One unusual one is the "ravine", which is exactly what it sounds like. It's right next to the school and is basically a legend from kindergarten until you graduate. My house was on the other side of the ravine from school so I walked through it a lot when I was running late. Usual shit - killers in the woods, abandoned barns with blood around it (this ones actually true, but it was a pothead hangout nothing more), bears, snarks, grumpkins, that sort of thing.

One thing odd, however, is that almost everyone seems to get turned around in there. I've lived by the place my whole life, been there countless times, and I'm an incredibly good navigator (see; military service), but I still will have to check the sun to make sure I'm walking the right way through it. Night is even worse, you could walk what you believe to be in a straight line for an hour, and have been walking in a circle the entire time. Most people can't navigate the damn place at all. Luckily for the most populated part of the ravine, it's narrow enough to see both walls.

Final decent one that I can remember from the Belle Plaine stories.

Belle Plaine exists as an old stopping point on the trip from Saint Paul to Mankato, MN back in the 1800s. Today, we're still that stopping point but for a four lane interstate. If you go up that highway for about three miles, you'll find an old abandoned farm literally right off the interstate. Which is where I once again pulled my pickup truck into with a group of friends in tow.

This one is a little more simple. We began to weave our way into a pitch black barn. As soon as we were inside the noises of traffic were kill. It was as if the walls were soundproofed - for Christ's sake we were twenty feet from the interstate. A few of us left our phones in the truck, but the couple that had brought theirs found their batteries dead or nearly dead when they swore up and down they had been decent on the ride over. Which I'm willing to believe since my truck came with every plug in imaginable, because I drove our friend group everywhere and I am the consummate host.

Anyway, as we're moving into this barn, shit keeps falling over. And banging fuckin loud. Now, I wasn't hitting anything, and the others kept insisting they weren't bumping into anything that wasn't too big to fall down. As these bangs from shit falling over became more and more loud, I felt like I was being watched, and the moonlight outside bouncing off the snow was getting dimmer. The others reported similar feelings later on. Like most other stories we got out of there as the spoop factor hit ass puckering levels.

Those are the decent stories that I can personally attest to. There's some others like an albino fox that indicates someone is about to have bad luck, the boars that supposedly roam the area between us and the next town, stupid shit like that. One should keep in mind that - as someone above alluded to - rural MN and rural Deep South are very similar in feeling (as someone who has lived in both).

I gotta go run and complete a detail, but I can come back I have a few deep MN northwoods stories. Granted they aren't really near towns but I may have one that's close enough.
