Scariest State

Finally, a worthwhile thread.

I'd say some rural areas of new york state are kinda edgy. There are a lot of depressed broken towns.

>>18284416
This. Jamestown is especially bad.

does the paranormal recognize arbitrary borders?

>>18284552
It recognizes good places

>>18284416
Agreed, alot of places in upstate New York are down right fucking spooky

>>18284559
ever heard of oniontown?

>>18284563
Nope

Found this in New Mexico in a desert outside of abq. Looks like it got shot up by a shotgun a lot.

All the shotgun shells

>>18284563
alright i've googled it and what the fuck?
people throw rocks at outsiders?
that's it?
you'd expect something spooky not something that happens on a daily basis in like 1/3 of the world

>>18284413
Some parts of the Deep South can be pretty scary. Savannah, Charleston, and New Orleans have reputations for a lot of freaky shit. Drive through super rural Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. at night and you might run into some weird folks.

>>18284687
Can vouch for Charleston, we have one of the highest concentrations of reported hauntings in the US.

>>18284413
Maine obviously.

>>18284413
high desert

West Virginia is weird as fuck. There's literally a town called Odd, WV that has inbred hillbillies that will chase you down their road and bark at you and throw rocks at your car.

California's drought conditions are scary enough.

>>18284733
im from maine ask me anything

Nebraska no doubt!

>>18284413
Florida locals tend to scare the shit outta people I guess. I don't really get it, being born and raised in the panhandle(aka the heart of dixie). The only time I'm on my toes past midnight is when there's a full moon. People get real sketchy on a full moon.

>>18284988
How comfy is it living there?

>>18285024
fairly, would be more if i wasn't in the city

>>18284781
Plus there's the Radio Quiet Zone where there's no radio, internet, or signal in a 13,000 square mile plot of land

>>18284413
Tennessee, the origin of Horrorcore and the Bell Witch. Also a bunch of cannibals live in the mountains. Supposedly.

>>18285079
As a resident of East Tennessee, can confirm. Most of the Great Smoky Mountains apart from the tourist traps of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge are creepy as shit.

Knoxville also has the more traditional haunted houses and caves for anyone interested.

>>18285118
I'm an NC native, how different is your side of the mountains?

I would definitely agree with Arizona or New Mexico. Mostly the Southwest and Deep South are where all the crazy shit happens.

>>18285138
Basically no difference at all. I'd say the mountain towns of west NC are more isolated and spooky though.

Mother had a paranormal experience in a hotel near the ruby mining town. Can't remember the name.

>>18284559

>alot of places in upstate New York are down right fucking spooky

Here me out on this, I genuinely think it's due to the local combination of:

Old Stock Yankees + Polacks + Diversity + Old Factories.

It's a very weird place, no where quite like it on the face of the planet.

>>18285152
Well you've convinced me to explore it next time i take a roadtrip.

>>18285150

I'm from the rural Midwest and the first time I visited the rural South, I was completely spooked.

I don't really know how to describe it. I've been to far poorer communities, so that's not what caught my attention. The area that I was in (the Yazoo Delta) just felt strange. It felt like it had been forgotten by time, and like something very dark had happened there.

I think there were a few battlefields in the area, so maybe that's it.

>>18284781
Thats weird as fuck

>>18285183
Yeah civil war battlefields will do that. But as someone who grew up in the south, you never quite get used to it.

>>18285069
but why?

Hey! A Nebraska fag! I do enjoy our new lives ruled by the one true leader, President Bovine.

>>18284413

I think any state is going to have it's creepy areas.

A lot of Rust Belt states are going to have some creepy areas due to all the abandoned factories - and in some cases entire areas of towns.

alaskan penguins

>>18285209

Part of me thinks that some wars leave worse psychic imprints than others.

For example, Civil War battlefields often spark extremely strong emotions in Americans whereas WWII battlefields don't really do that to most Brits. However, I've seen the same Brits get extremely emotional over WWI.

We had to take a 'highway' through Montana back down to Wyoming late at night and it freaked me out something serious. I'm not used to highways going straight through little towns like that - driveways leading straight from the highway to houses that looked like they were built in the 60s or 70s, usually abandoned because everyone was at the one bar in town up the road. There were elk everywhere too and it was creepy when the headlights reflected off their eyes.

I'm sure that's par for the course up there but it was genuinely unnerving. I kept seeing things out of the corner of my eye that weren't there. Was half expecting to be flagged down by someone with 'car trouble' and then get serial murdered.

>>18285069
I want to move there.

>>18285284
wouldn't stop myself, so easy for it to be a trap

>>18285284
That's par for the course everywhere, senpai. I've seen that in Florida, where I live, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, and I think I saw it in Massachusetts, but I was only there for like 3 days and pretty much went straight from Boston airport to rural MA.

>>18285209
Yeah, been to Chickamauga, Shiloh, and Antietam. Even in broad daylight they're still absurdly creepy.

>>18284781

I kind of want to take my corvette down there now.

Reposting my story from the scary story thread

>Orlando a decade ago
>me and my girlfriend at the time would drive out of town at night on dark back roads to find spooky places
>found abandoned airports, factories (no signs - I wonder what the fuck they'd make in Florida), and I think Cold War era bunkers (big hanger like structures with a bunch of dirt, grass, and even trees on top like they're trying to hide them from satellites).
>one night west of Orlando on some random back road
>barely make out a structure on a hill off the road
>see a small dirt road off the road we're on heading to the structure's location
>slow down and turn on the dirt road
>go down the road about 500 feet
>lots of tall grass and bushes obstructing our view
>sharp corner
>take the turn
>immediately see 20-30 crosses with fresh flowers, balloons, and stuffed animals set up off the dirt road like a giant roadside memorial
>stop, put the car in reverse and get the fuck out of there

I wish I took note of the location. I want to go back and see what it was during the day but I've long since forgot where it was.

>>18285182
Native; there is literally nothing to see in the entirety of upstate New York unless you're a Revolutionary War buff, or you plan on spending your trip in one of our national parks (I'd recommend the Adirondacks though, i believe they're some of the oldest mountains in the world). Unfortunately there's little to no evidence of the creepy shit I'm interested in here, namely cryptids. My friend lives in a haunted mansion though, its bretty dank

>>18284416
>>18284546
>>18284559
>>18285152
It's the ghosts of all the British Loyalists from the American Revolution, they're pissed as fuck.

I lived in rural Massachusetts for a while. They're definitely some odd people out there, but I don't recall any stories were people got flagged down and robbed/killed. I wouldn't be surprised if its happened though.

Idaho. 80% is woodland. Fucked up shit happens innawoods.

>>18285069
imagine a cryptid that chases people into the radio quiet zone so they can't call for help.

>>18284988

no, that's 4chan

>>18284413
Virginia for sure, though I've seen some shit in Colorado as well

If you want scary go to the desert nothing scarier than dying of dehydration. But Wyoming is pretty spooky, you can feel it almost grinding to a halt driving through little abandoned towns like Ten Sleep and Medicine Bow. Hell all but 4 of Medicine Bows businesses closed down. There's like 2-3 abandoned hotels in every city. And a meth shack every couple miles. And I think that's the spooky part

>>18285284
Elk and Antelope in the road is the usual. And driving through the right parts you'll see some spooky stuff right out your window. Hell last year i finally had the nerve to explore an abandoned hotel/casino from the gold rush in Medicine Bow. You can pull over on the interstate and walk right up to it. But it always freaked me out. Found a fucking bear skin in there to. Still have it hanging in my house

>>18285801
Medicine Bow in Wyoming? That is a town we went through. By the time we got into Wyoming though it was way past nope o'clock so we did not stop.

I am not a brave man.

>>18285780
What shit did you see in Colorado?

California.

If you're scared shitless of skinwalkers, don't leave the Scottsdale / Phoenix populated parts of Arizona. New Mexico, stay in Alberquerqe.

>>18285434
Ask me how I know you're lying

>>18285789
I got some weird feelings driving through one area of Wyoming, out in the open country. Felt like there were still spirits there and they didn't want us or anybody else on their land. I'd have chalked it up to imagination except my wife mentioned feeling the same thing in the same location. We hadn't been talking about native tribes or anything spoopy at the time either, so it was a little odd that both of us should get that same exact vibe from that same area.

>>18284413
Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Nothing like dense forest with large spaces between civilization for a good spooking.

>>18285864
Probably car crash victims. That shit happens all the time here. There's a sign outside the port of entry where all the trucks get weight that says "caution (blank number, last month was 31) drivers died on Wyoming roads in (month) (seat belt slogan)" pretty spooky lad

>>18285888
Maybe. It was way out in the middle of buttfuck nowhere on a US highway. It was one of those areas that used to be full of buffalo but is now all huge ranches. No buildings visible from the road for miles. No other cars for miles, even in the middle of the day.

Pennsylvania. Easily the most haunted state, plus if you're not in a big town/city like Reading or Philly it's like 75% forest.

>>18285936
Most of Wyoming desu

>>18285789
I drove through Wyoming once during the night. I saw probably 3 other cars in 7 hours, and if we passed any towns I didn't know it because there were no lights. It was kind of cloudy so you could just see the silhouettes of huge rock formations a shade darker than the rest of the sky. I was on edge the whole way, elk just chilling on the road didn't make it easier.

>>18284413
Duck the deserts.
There's a reason you don't hear stories about the mountains in Arizona.

Nobody survives.

>>18285842
Lol you wanna fuckin die kiddo I got two words for you Apache Junction lots of dislocated old angry injins out there

>>18284413
I'd say the East coast in general, from Georgia straight up, but I've been reading a lot of Lovecraft.

NJ here, the only story I have is I was once driving down a wooded dirt road in Old Bridge out of curiosity, and passed a tan man alone in a bright Hawaiian looking shirt walking the side of the road. It was pitch black outside of my headlights, I don't know how he was keeping to the road.

>>18284416
Amen. Upstate is where all the horrors are

>>18284749
I'm from the high desert area. I do hear about a lot of vague things but unfortunately no concrete story to share. But yeah it gets spooky out here

Wisconsin local here.

Wisconsin is a very diverse state, with four different kinds of landscapes and different kinds of economies. Every section of the state is different from the other.

For fun, I drive to different corners of the state on the weekends and go hiking/explore abandoned towns.

I have had a long list of weird spooky shit happen to me. First of all, Wisconsin breeds heinous serial killers. I don't know what it is about the state, but there's a slight tinge of hopeless isolated despair here, and I think it creates serial killers or something,

I was at Nicolet National Forezt hiking alone. I drove for about 10 miles down a dirt road to get to this trail head. After I was finished hiking, I was walking back to my car, and a fucking pick up truck came SPEEDING down the dirt road, passed me, and kept going.

I thought nothing of it, thought maybe they were loggers or something. So a few mins later I get in my car and leave the same direction they went. As I'm driving down this desolate dirt road in the forest, I come to a big giant thick well-cut log sitting in the middle of the road. It was from a pine tree, and there were no pine trees around, and that truck had just come down this road a minute ago.

Somebody obviously placed it there. I put my car in reverse and floored it backwards. I took the long way back to the highway, which took about 20 minutes of driving down dirt roads in the thick forest. My heart was racing all the way back.

>>18286932
That same night, I parked my car in a parking lot of a closed gas station to sleep in the Nicolet national forest. It was in this tiny empty town with not a single car on the road.

At about 2 a.m., a giant semi truck pulled up behind me, trapping my against a curb so I couldn't get out. I quickly and calmly hopped over to the driver's seat, and looked in the rear view mirror. A short Mexican guy got out of the semi and was walking up to my car. I started my car, and floored it over the curb onto the road, did a u-turn, and took off down a backroad into the forest.

After driving for about 15 minutes, I came across a wide dirt road ATV trail. I started driving down the ATV trail and stopped on the side of this dirt trail. This all happened in the middle of fucking tornado weather, so it was storming like crazy.

I just layed down in the backseat and slept for about 3 hours, woke up, and went hiking again.

Here's a pic from the forest

Its pretty easy to see in the dark for the most part when there's no cars around.

Minnesota is always affectively a nonstate on 4chan. Any MNfags know of some spooky shit to do around here? Only things i know of are the Palmer House and apparently some witch's grave out in Jackson.

>>18284413

The Southeast from North Carolina to Mississippi. I'm from South Carolina; you never know what's lurking in the woods just outside of town. Even ignoring the recent clown shit, there has always been freaky things happening in the South. My grandparents used to tell me that it was God's punishment to the South as a whole for slavery.

>>18284413

>>18285780
What have you seen in virginia? and what part

>>18284413

I lived the past two years in a small town in Southern Colorado near the NM border.

The people there literally believed in witches, and not just in a folk-tale kind of way. They'd shoot at endangered horned owls.

My wife and I were living in a remote farmhouse (lol white people dreams coming true amirite? NO.)

One day we both got off early and we were carpooling, long weekend ahead of us, incredibly good mood, almost Halloween, you know the feel.

Anyway we get home and we find out someone has shot our fucking black cat. Some locals later told us you need to keep black cats inside near Halloween because people think they're agents of witches and the devil.

Growing up in Ohio I thought I knew creepy. Boy was I mistaken. Glad we had the means to relocate.

lot of devil worship in the Sierra Nevada mountains especially in the south east part of the state. Every so often you see news stories about some little boy or girl that had been missing for months or years is found either dead or all fucked up in the mountains in some crazy monster worshiping shack. Northeast of Bakersfield in the Sequoia National Forest / Death Valley region there is a lot of weird shit. Abandoned mining towns, I've seen rusted tanks and military shit up in the mountains, how these things get there I don't know. One time went hiking up there with some friends, we hear a bunch of weird noises - almost like music. It's day time so we figure lets check it out. Well about 5 more miles up the mountain we find an abandoned mining camp - looks like either late 1800's or early 1900's - very old. Tunnels into the mountains and everything. Well in one of the shacks there was an old weathered grand piano. The keys on the fucker were still warm. Everyone says the desert between LA and Phoenix is spooky but I've never had any problems and I like to go hiking out that way for days at a time to get away from LA. I will say that if you find yourself in a particularly dense patch of Joshua tree's under a full moon it looks very surreal and otherworldly.

>>18284413
Maryland
>all of those Hillary posters

>>18287483
I'm in Duluth and it gets very eerie when the fog rolls in and stays for a day or two. There's a supposedly haunted estate here, an also a lighthouse up in Split Rock on the north shore.

Other than that, the BWCAW is probably hiding some things. A huge wilderness area, without roads, only accessible by canoe and trails. Who knows what's lurking in the pines.

>>18284988
Fellow Maine here just moved up from MA, what part are you?
I'm SoME so there's not much spook around here..

>>18284988
Have you been stalked by Stephen King yet?

The Finns are scary people.

Anything interesting around Cincinnati? I'm new here, for graduate school. Originally from NC, but not an interesting spooky part.

>>18285434
Ask me how I know that your story is not that scary and you probably ran over a child.

Oklahoma, especially central OK, is pretty fucking spooky if you look in the right places.

>>18287579

>>18285533
What part of the suburbs? I live up in North Houston and I don't ever see this shit

>>18284413
When traveling through West Virginia theres a stretch of road of pure radio silence, traveling that bitch at night with the sheer cliffs if you were to veer off the road and with patches of fog got me pretty spooked

>>18285989
Pennsatucky fag here, can confirm. Plus it's got Gettysburg, a literal shit ton of abandoned coal and iron mines way out in the woods, especially closer to Pittsburgh, and some decent local superstition and folklore

>>18284413
I would say Texas and New Mexico because all the Alien ship crashing and Chupacabra sighting things

Kentucky. Remember the Erratas cabin?

One of my friends moved to Santa Fe New Mexico, and I went to stay with him for a week.

We literally spent the whole week exploring abandoned ghost towns at night with flashlights and hiking around the desert. We even camped in an old beat up dusty cemetery out in the desert.

It's creepy out there for sure, but nothing super creepy happened. Pretty comfy actually

Anyone from Kern County in CA? I have an uncle that lives out there and had a few stories about people driving out there in the desert encountering Hills Have Eyes shit

>>18284413
It's not the scariest state but PA has it's share of weird shit, especially out in the woods in the middle of the state.

Michigan is pretty spooky, all the dilapidated towns and abandoned factories.

423 here. Can confirm

>>18286951
good story

>>18287483
Grey Cloud Island near Cottage Grove has a whole bunch of native burial mounds and folks have seen apparitions on the roads and in the small cemetery, but the locals are hostile to spook hunters and will chase you out if it's apparent you aren't just passing through.

The Anoka State Hospital is supposedly full of angry spirits and is one of the more paranormally active places in the state. Again, the groundskeeper will tell you to GTFO if he sees you snooping.

No confirmed hauntings, but Lilydale Park in St. Paul is very, very spooky to walk through at night.

>>18284687

Extremely! My uncle does artillery for reenactments and I've camped at several battlefields and they are legit scary at night.

>>18288433
I have it on good authority that the st. peter state mental hospital is haunted as hell

Kansas reporting in here, this is actually my first time ever browsing this board so I don't know if what I'm going to post is softcore shit but I have some photos from a night where me and some friends drove out in some extremely rural areas and came across abandoned houses and ghost towns. If there's any interest, I'll post some photos.

PA has some scary shit. we have a town here called Centrailia" and its an abandoned ghost town that has a raging furnace that was once a coal mine. Apparently someone dropped a cigarette and the whole thing ignited burning the miners alive, and it continues to burn furiously 50 years later. Its the inspiration for the original Silent Hill video game.

its legit spooky there.

Michigan is a pretty scary place.

>>18285869
I'm from WI, and went up to see the Paulding Light.
My father and I investigated if people were actually correct, and that headlights from cars behind the site of Paulding Light provided the glow.
What we saw is that the place where the light should be was not in the direct pathway of lights from the highway behind it.
It also felt incredibly fucking spooky there. All of the houses were shut up tight with no lights on.

>>18288009
My family and I were passing through WV in the evening, and it had recently rained. We were looking for a fossil collecting site along the side of the road in a section of the woods, and it was completely still. No animals, no people, nothing. It looked like something from Silent Hill, right before the protagonist gets attacked.
If someone has vertigo, they're going to have a bad time in WV.

>>18285847
Okay. How.

New Mexico for sure. Born and raised in Albuquerque and I can say that it's pretty fucking creepy. I have a cabin in North Western New Mexico and those woods are hella spooky. I rarely go out at night when I'm at my cabin but I'm planning on going on a night adventure to this abandoned cabin about fifteen minutes away from mine this winter. I'll take pictures for y'all when I do. I'd like to get some night vision goggles or a monocular NV goggle, one of those pump ones before I do.

I can't help but feel like I'm being watched whenever I'm hiking around even during the day so that's why I've never done it before. Definitely skinwalker/spoopy areas. Anyone have any requests when I go up? I'll take pictures of the cabin and the surrounding areas and all that.

>>18284413
New Jersey, no contest
For paranormal and mundane reasons.

Utah

You got yourself some religious fanaticism. A shit ton of weird rural areas, ghost towns, they dump nuclear waste in the deserts so you got hills have eyes stuff for good measure. High as hell suicide rate. Ted Bundy came from there. Mountain Meadows Massacre and another thing where some Indians got killed that I'm blanking on

To top it all off Kay's Cross, fuck that place

Northern arizona is probably the weirdest part. Lots of sparsely populated wilderness, ghost towns, old mines, and a weird landscape overall.

Also, any indian reservation. They're poor, isolated, have lots of abandoned stuff, and have lots of gangs and alcoholics. Some of the poorest areas of the country.

>>18287599
The reason the desert between LA and Phoenix feels spooky is because it's so empty. It feels like it takes forever to get through. If you stay on the I10 and look at it from a car it's kind of beautiful.

>>18288838
That's the point, there isn't but the fact there is nothing spoopy about it that makes it scary.

A woman wrote a entire fucking book about how native americans used to keep away from a creepy ass valley right there because freaky shit always happened in it. The author was facinated by the number of unique reports of criptids not reported anywhere else.

Moth man, six legged rape cenataur, etc.

I found Missouri kind of creepy. Drove from St. Louis to Joplin on a cross country road trip. Lots of run down crap all over the place. Grungy towns where everyone looks like they'll mug you. People who looked like they were inbred five times over in the rural areas. A place I don't really ever want to go back to, and I've been to over half of the states.

>>18289392

Yeah i'm gonna need more details on that.

went on a trip to howe caverns in new york once, the town just outside of it was spooky as fuck. seemed deserted, the only occupied store was a single walmart, and the diner i got dinner at was playing a commercial for some music box set on repeat for the entire time i was there. people were pretty normal hicks, but the town made me feel uneasy.

Colorado is pretty spooky. I live near Estes Park and if I ever get enough money I can stay in the Stanley.

Maryland reporting in.

The eastern shore is pretty creepy. There's plenty of haunted sites like the pocomoke forest. The pocomoke forest used to be full of people in a satanic cult, the forest is also haunted apparently by dead slaves.
There is also currently a satanic cult that is in close by, White Haven
Theres plenty of abandoned houses out in the boonies. There's also plenty of "shore billies" who live in trailers out in the woods and on remote places on the water.

Just judging by a Googlre image search, WV seems kind of comfy/rural, and very "simple but poor country culture", but not terribly spooky.But, ive never visited.

Spookiest state? Perhaps North Dakota. Vast swaths of sparsely populated land, super harsh winters. Again never been there so i dont really know.

lol I just went to Kay's Cross tonight. There were a bunch of teenagers there and they were all freaking out about the polygamist family that owns the property. One of them showed me a picture he took from a week before of the family dancing around an bonfire outside of the hollow doing some kind of ritual. Crazy stuff. Kaysville is the most haunted place in America

Lived in the California in this little town called Ridgecrest only about 45 minutes from death valley .

Of course you always hear stories from all kinds of people about all sorts of things like aliens ghosts, demons shit like that.

I lived in Utah and nothing was very strange except for the uber-friendly mormons and ugly gingers everywhere.

Colorado though, that place has got loads of spooky shit. Abandoned mines, abandoned shacks, burial grounds.

I lived near a graveyard in Rifle and woke up one night with something touching my back, when I looked up I saw a legit orange mist hovering to my left. I closed my eyes, pulled the blanket up and prayed, somehow I feel asleep.

California definitely has a lot of weird stuff, but as a native of the state, not sure if it's really all that scary, at least for a state of our size, but then that might just be the perspective of someone who's lived in Orange County for most of his life, and the last couple of years living up near Lake Elsinore haven't really changed things either

Floridafag here, not under any illusions that my state is spooky, but there's a ton of land between the major cities where there just isn't shit and it's mostly like just swamps and shit that nobody can build on. This is especially true in the middle of the state directly north and south of central Florida.

Anyway, January of last year, I was driving up to Atlanta for some work. It's pitch black at like 3 in the morning, and I'm on this huge stretch of highway with relatively few lights and very, few exits. Most of which are basically into fucking nothing.

It gets to the point where I'm running low as fuck on gas, and I NEED to stop or I'm going to run out of gas in the middle of fucking nowhere. Luckily a few miles up the road I run into a sign that says there's a BP gas station at the next exit.

So I hit the exit, pull off and the first thing I notice is that the road, to either side, does not have any fucking streetlights, to the right it ends a few hundred feet up the road at the edge of the woods, and to the left there's this abandoned lumber mill type place about a quarter mile up the road, and right in front of me is this brand new BP gas station.

I don't really think anything of it until I pull up into the gas station and notice that all of the lights are on, like normal, but there's nobody inside, and there's no other cars parked here, like for the attendant. I put my card into the pump and start pumping.

Immediately I start hearing some weird ass rustling in the treeline a couple hundred feet away. I ignore it assuming that it's some bear or deer or some shit just doing it's thing. As I keep pumping, the rustling gets louder. At this point I'm just staring into the treeline looking for movement, and reach for the Ka-bar I keep under my seat.

At this point my tank is about half full and the rustling stops abruptly, but all of the lights in the gas station just shut off and I'm left in pitch fucking darkness.

cont, not much left

>>18290391

It's at this point that I decide that it's time to get the fuck out. So I just drop the gas pump and slap the thing down so it stops the charge, jump in my car, start the bitch and peel the FUCK out.

As I'm pulling around the pumps, my headlights pass over the treeline and I swear to god I saw two people peeking from behind some trees watching me go.

To this day, I don't know if I was about to get fucking attacked or if my mind was playing tricks, or if it was homeless people fucking in the trees and the lights were on some sort of timer to go off after a certain hour, making the whole thing a coincidence, or if it was just some prank played by the gas station attendants.

Either way, it freaked me the fuck out, and I think abou tit occasionally to this day. I know that my story wasn't very exciting or well told, but I've been wanting to tell it for a while, so thanks for reading, if you did.

If you're a collegefag, there's a network of utility tunnels under the University of St. Thomas. They connected all of the old buildings together on south campus, including Loras Hall which used to house students as a dorm back in the 40s and 50s along with it's brother halls - Cretin and Grace - but for some reason it ceased being a dormitory. I went there in the 00s and we undergraduates always suspected it was haunted.

>>18290408
Alright, I can agree with this as a fellow Floridafag.

Florida is no means the scariest because of South Florida, where I'm from, is literally tourist heaven. Outside of the usual city issues, there's nothing really too spooky.

BUT, there's the saying "The farther North you go in FL, the more South you really are." I go to uni in North Florida, and my bf and I drive around at night a lot.

Can confirm depending where you are and what streets you're on there will be people hiding behind trees watching you drive. This is a thing up here and I have zero clue why.

Grew up in St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States- 450+ years old.

All kinds of creepy shit in that town, saw the white figure of a woman in the lighthouse at night on more than one occasion.

Not to mention I heard incredibly creepy shit from other people in the city. Describing disappearing buildings, Vanishing hitchhikers, missing people, ghost children, etc.

The only missing is fucking cryptids but even then I heard stories of weird marine animals. Not to mention there's a famous shrine there where people have claimed to be visited by saints and angels and such.

When I was a kid I was really sensitive to bad energy, I would have night terrors, screaming at the top of my lungs when I was asleep and waking up with no memory. But when I was little I would always claim to see shit, black figures, murdered people, etc. Until one day it just kind faded out. I still have a strong intuition about this sort of thing, but its not like it used to be.

That's certainly spooky but perhaps I can offer some explanation for some of it by sharing a bit of a non-paranormal story of my own.

Years ago I was doing drugs somewhat heavily. My friends had just got some fresh L in and had been doing it the past three days. I got in contact with an old friend of mine from the town I went to college in who wanted half a 10 pack and I had some other friends up there that were still in school that I wanted to go see and thought I could sell a bit more while I was there so me and two of my friends decided to head up there the next evening.

Because of having some things to do and general degeneracy we didn't end up leaving until late evening. Its about a 3 hour drive straight down highway 27 so we wouldn't get there until fairly late and all of the driving was at night. Its was actually a nice scenic drive during the day and that whole night was quite an adventure with lots of crazy mishaps as is usually the case in the middle of a acid binge but anyway here is the relevant part of that day:

Somewhere about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way there we realized that we needed to get gas. Some of the stretches of that road don't have anything for miles and as it was the middle of the night we pulled into the first gas station we could find.

There's a tree farm near my house and it's beautiful but creepy too. You can see so far deep into the woods because all the trees are planted in neat rows. I'm always scared I'd see something pop out from behind the trees while driving by. At night, I'll sometimes make out a face popping out or something running along the trees following parallel to me when I drive by but it's probably just my mind playing tricks on me.

>>18290496

There was literally no one there at all but the lights were on. had to use a card but we couldn't get the damn thing to work. Figured it was just because we were high. Then out of fucking no where(obviously pulled up when we weren't looking) a cop pops up and is asking what we are doing there. We were all freaking internally because a) its a cop and we are have, have lots of drugs on us, and are going to sell drugs and B) a little while earlier (sometime in between the gas station and having to pull over to put all the glow sticks in the trunk because they were too distracting) someone had gotten behind us and put up one of those blue flashing dash lights. I thought for sure we were getting pulled over but they said to just keep going and that it was just someone trying to fuck with us. For a minute there I thought we were in an OJ Simpson esque slow car chase but sure enough they were right and after attempting to pull us over with no luck took the light down and turned off. Still wonder what would have happened had I pulled over. Needless to say when I say the cop that was one of the things that ran through my head and I thought for a second that it might have been a real cop after all.

Anyway, he asked what we were doing at a closed gas station, we just told the guy we needed gas and saw the station with the lights on so we pulled in thinking they were open. He said they were closed, we said we thought that might be the case & were just going to use a card to pay. He said they cut them off when they close and that we happened to pull in in a small time frame between them closing the store and the lights auto shutting off. He just let us go and we got gas up the road. Crazy ass night though with a lot of stories.

All that to say it could have been something similar that happened to you except they didn't cut the pumps off when they closed and that the lights were on a timer. Still doesn't explain the other stuff but it might account for part of it.

Arizonan can confirm, we've got some very strange shit out here.

Californian here There was a reported lynching of a vampire where I live in the 1800s I learned of this many years later.


We used to live in the area around where the vampire got lynched and I remember when I was 6 years old I came home from school and my mom was scared in the downstairs living room and didn't want to go upstairs because she heard chains rustling and looked up and saw a human floating on the stairs with chains around his body. I never look it up but would vampires have shackles and chains?

That's legitimately terrifying. Maybe they just wanted to scare you. Or they were going to burn you at the stake.

Huntington Wv.
Good bit of the town is on drugs, Heroin has taken over. Now not saying this is paranormal but the town/area feels off. Almost like soon as you enter it, Like a wave of bad energy. It's always felt a little off but any more its like it has been kicked on overdrive, You can feel it in the air, See it on the faces of locals.

Things i have that have happened to me here.
Heard a voice of a dead woman, See weird shadows, People pulled over on the side of the road with their heads down then when i drove past they poped back up and all got on the road at the same time.

I can confirm Lilydale... I live in Mendota Heights which is right by there. Lots of murders, apparitions, hauntings, drownings, spoops and other shit there.

Don't go there at night unless you are on a bike, with lights, with a pistol preferably.

>>18290542
>I never look it up but would vampires have shackles and chains?
sometimes people thought to be Vampires would be chained up and otherwise restrained after they were killed, it's where the concept of Staking a vampire comes from, originally it wouldn't kill the vampire, it'd just keep them from escaping their grave

NJ has a LOT of abandoned in the 80s psychiatric facilities.

Sorry for the late reply.

It's one of those places where you instantly feel depressed the moment you enter, like a cold chill goes up your spine. Aside from the appiration my friends and I explored the graveyard at night and heard strange loud clicking noises.

We went there at midnight once and saw a pair of glowing orange eyes in a tree, almost like two lights looking out, when I went to take a picture the light instantly dissapeared, and the craziest part was that was exactly what we were looking for, others have reported seeing orange eyes in the trees before too.

I don't know much about ghosts or whatnot but every time we saw something paranormal it was orange colored, and they/it seemed happy to reveal itself at will.

At my friends house just across the street his family also got used to hearing footsteps on their stairs in the middle of the night, I even heard it when I stayed over to play TF2 once. He was convinced they were the ghost of his dead dog's though.

Overall the spirits didn't seem to be malicious from what I can tell, but you definitely got a depressed vibe so maybe they were sad I guess.

Used to drive trucks in rural Nevada. Some pretty creepy shit out there. There are also some strange towns up in the high Sierra Nevadas. Shasta area is weird. Eastern Oregon can also be pretty weird.

>>18284413
Arkansas is scary because of just how many old houses we have and how many woods we have.

My grandparents own a very large portion of land including quite the amount of woods ( several acres ) my and my cousins would get lost in there constantly, we camped quite a bit and went exploring across the river ( my grandparents didn't own that land but the landowner of it had died several years ago )

We found all kinds of weird shit including houses, deer stands that had a pack of cigs in each one and the bodies of a lot of dead animals.

Other than rednecks and mountain town we have the GA Guidestones...which are really just a giant subliminal advertisement for granite counter-tops.
The only thing spooky about them is that the creator is anonymous. Pretty sure any paranormal theories relating are made by peeps who have never been. Ive heard hearsay about hooded figures visiting, but that's likely some grandmother yelling about blacks wearing hoodies being misinterpreted.

My highschool used to travel to Syracuse for a marching band competition. We would drive through destitute parts of town to get to our practice area. Broken down victorian style houses, empty and extremely quiet neighborhoods, super poor black areas, abandoned factories and mills, and general spookiness. There was an air of sadness and loneliness that permeated that place. Inside the university was another story, its beautiful there.

Connecticut has a lot of haunted houses and abandoned mental hospitals if your into that sort of stuff

i visited one of the abandoned asylums can't remember which one with some friends. It was dark and snowy we didn't enter the asylum itself but we walked around behind it through the wood and followed the train tracks down a while in the snow. Found some abandoned house with a barn shed kinda thing, was said to be the wardens house but i don't know. We peeked around for a bit but ended up leaving cause my friends gf was bitching out about begin scared or whatever so we left. Was a total bust but hey that's what happens when you drag along whiny bitches to these sort of things.

Small town murders are the best murders, cuz everyone's in on it.

MNBro here. Not really fun to explore but the ladies' room at First Avenue nightclub is supposedly haunted. Back when it was a train station, a young nurse hung herself in one of the stalls. People that work there after bar close have loads of spooky stories experiences. Cuzzy's in the Northloop used to be a whorehouse, and is also supposedly haunted. They even talk about it on their menu. Ask your bartender or server and they'll chat you up about it.

Then, there's the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul. Gangsters used to hide booze there during the prohibition era. I think they have ghost tours of the place. Super cool inside. You can feel its spookiness immediately upon entering. The forests around Ft. Snelling have been said to have a good amount of paranormal activity. I think a lot of natives were killed in the area back in the day.

Don't you think you overreacted a little to the trucker? Maybe he wanted to make sure you were OK since the weather was so crazy.

And yeah, he pinned you in, but maybe it wasn't intentional? Always good to listen to your gut, though. I get that.

Surprised no mention of Baltimore. Supposed to be one of the most haunted major cities in the U.S., after New Orleans. Then, you've got your Edgar Allen Poe history.

I've been up in the boundary waters when I was kid, very spooky place. Actually feels like real wilderness, type of place where you dig a hole in the woods to shit in. Not the type of place where you stray from the campfire, dangerous shit is in the woods regardless of any spiritual oddities, though I suspect those are out there too with the general weird vibe the place has.

>>18290021
>>Locals get real defensive if strangers poke around, plenty of lore of people getting chased off by old rednecks with shotguns as well

I don't get why this is always happening. I even saw it in a movie, Willow Creek, where a couple is looking for bigfoot and a couple of locals tell them to fuck off. I don't get it, why give a fuck?

I think it has a lot to do with the fear of outsiders. Locals don't like change. Also, some of the folks in small towns are often up to some shady illegal stuff on their properties.

Graveyards aren't scary period, especially modern ones. I lived right next to an 18th century cemetery (pic related) for five months and I never felt spooked. They're just sad places, they leave you with only a bittersweet, melancholic feeling.

I know exactly what you mean, I lived in a "bad energy" town for 8 years. You could feel the bad vibes even before entering the town, when you entered the prefecture. A lot of drugs going on there too and it's weird how the town only had a couple of churches. I remember feeling weak and tired all the time and I would often sleep for like 12 hours straight, it was like Lovecraft's The Shunned House! I also experienced my first and only sleep paralysis there. Other people I knew experienced more paranormal stuff, like levitating objects and apparitions. This was all in south Europe though.

There is a lot of spooky stuff in GA. We used to do haunted GA every year in school.

Mostly just a feeling you get when you are out there sometimes. I've spent a lot of time in that park both during the day and at night. Everyone around here has stories about it.

>>18291791
Barkley Marathon, right? Shits insane.

>>18292168
I don't really understand them. It should be a law that everyone is cremated. There are laws where you can't build over graveyards already. Eventually there are just going to be too many. Why even both with it?

>>18292245
It could be that all the bad vibes leads to rampant drug usage.

what makes you think that? we weren't really "supposed" to live anywhere, but our intelligence as animals has allowed us to adapt to almost anywhere we decide to. We have humans living in space and at the south pole where night time lasts 6 months.

I used to go for extremely long car rides to rather isolated places in Wisconsin and Minnesota, I've got a couple stories if anyone's interested. I've camped in lots of desolate places between the Olympic Peninsula in Washington to the U.P. in
Michigan. I live in Minnesota and have gone on week-long hiking trips up north in the boundary waters and among the hills on the west shore of lake Superior. I've seen some really weird things in my travels.

Live around oshkosh. Lots of very small towns separated by think woods and cornfields. Most of the cornfields were harvested this year but corn can be some scary shit. It's like innawoods but thicker and darker. You fuckers want a thrill take a midnight stroll through a cornfield.

>not spoopy af

That place is crawling with fucking terrifying hillbillies.

Back in the 80's, my mother went hiking through idaho alone in her late 20's and on her 7th night of a 14-day journey, she found a pile of photographs left under an evidently blood-soaked stone immediately in front of her tent door.

The photographs were of at least 4 different men's penises, and a display of pistols, lengths of rope, and surgical tools. The last of them were of her campsite and several naked men from the waist-down pointing their erect penises at her tent.

The very last photograph was of her sleeping quite soundly, while a blurry pistol muzzle was pointed at her from the unzipped tent door.

Having been in the military and being quite used to outings like this, she completed the next week's hike in just under 4 days by jogging most of the time despite her heavy backpack. She didn't sleep at all the first night and kept traveling by moonlight, and a storm rolled in on the third night leaving awful mud.

I can't imagine the sort of terror she had gone through. Her time in the military (she was never in action) must've given her quite a powerful will to get through that.

>it immediately spreads its wings, tramples up over the cow and blasts its wings powerfully, making a strong fwomp sound I could hear even over my Black Sabbath cassette.

I swear the bastard had a wingspan of 10 feet, looked like a damn paraglider as it blocked out the stars and flapped away.

It looked rather like a massive raven more than a vulture or something. I didn't know what to think of it.

>>18293036
Just know you're not alone. I live north of baraboo, Wi, aka Hicksville, and I've seen the same thing at night but eating a deer carcass. Same exact description as you but not quite a raven look, more of a hooked beak with a bald eagle like black head? Shit was weird man I tried getting out of my truck to shoot at it with my 12 gauge but it was long gone

Cool story by the way. Do you use old school maps to take the windy roads as opposed to the highway? Googlemaps? Or do you just know the area well enough?

Just wondering how I might best go about doing a similar thing somewhere while not getting completely lost.

Oh shit, forgot. CIA watches this board and the FBI watches this entire site. We get a good giggle from all the party van shit.

Alright, my personal experience with the spoopy extends to three different states. I am not advocating any of them as the scariest, as I have no firsthand experiences in many of the states. I was born in northern New York, and grew up along the St. Lawrence River, later moving to the western part of the state. During my time there, I have heard more than my fair share of anecdotal evidence, given in confidence, of people being plagued by paranormal activity. This activity ranged from objects flying across their home, to strange animals following them in the woods. I myself have experienced on the western corner of the state, odd noises from the wooded area surrounding the house that I lived in, and doors opening of their own volition. I also have experiences in the state of Pennsylvania. My grandparents lived in an old farmhouse located in a hollow about an hour east of Pittsburgh. There, I caught a glimpse of an apparition outside the front porch one night as I was attempting to fall asleep in the living room. Besides that, I have experienced unexplained voices, and a feeling of being watched while staying in that house. I will say that it didn't ease my mind when I found out some years later that someone had hung themselves in that house during the earlier part of the 20th century. So far, I have not experienced anything personally in the state of Michigan.

Born in Ithaca, can confirm. Went back there just recently, driving in between Ithaca and NYC you'll see the absolutely most boring landscape imaginable. Upstate New York is basically all just hills and farmland, the only thing more boring might be the plain states. All the small towns are really shitty too, most are filled with meth heads and niggers.
