It was an enjoyable read but I think the ending needed some retooling

I just started amnesia. I haven't reached any enemies yet and it's already too scary.

I'm really curious about creepy places, especially in the US, as opposed to other countries, since it feels slightly more personal.
I've heard about Centralia, PA and also California City, California, and I was wondering if there were more creepy places around the country.

I'm assuming almost everyone here knows about Centralia, if not, the internets provide a lot of info. As for Cali City, it's creepy because when you Google map the city there are roads leading to nowhere and vacant parts of the city (i.e. roads w/o a purpose of being there) since the city never really became that populated.

Anyways, post creepy locations if you've got 'em!

I've always wanted to go to the Winchester Mystery House.

I think it's more of an oddity than it is actually creepy, but I'm not sure. They say the wife of the famous gun dude built the most crazy house full of twists and turns to confuse the ghosts of the people her husband's weapons killed.

I've been to Centralia, actually  My father grew up in one of the nearby coal mining towns, maybe two miles away.  He said he and his buddies used to go there in winter, pee on the ground, and watch it steam.  It's not really that exciting though, there's a cracked highway near there that the coal fire burned under, and the 'downtown' which was never that big anyway, has a couple buildings still standing.  Really, the smoke from the fires just looks like random bits of fog.

Local to Winchester Mystery House. Never been yet.
Not worth $25 to see it in the daytime, I'm told. Wait till Halloween when they do the haunted tours.

Now I might go to Centralia on R&R, guess that'll make the Lurker GF happy.

Ok, I finally gave in.  Now you can stop calling me a lurker.  :p

Speaking of creepy and PA - we apparently have a lot of ghosts/haunted places in Berks County (there are quite a few books on the subject if you're interested).

Wow. Kentucky has it's own main article off of this:

LOL, no love for Wisconsin in that link :C

I don't expect a nearly abandoned town to be all that exciting in the sense that skeletons pop out of every corner etc., but it has that nice creepy atmosphere and back-story which I love.

Ah yes, I've heard of it and its bizarre layout. Apparently there has also been ghost sightings in the house but I'm not sure if those are believable claims (it just seems awfully cliche).

[Luinbariel]

Yeah it seems pretty cliche, but all the same the Mystery House is just... I REALLY gotta see it some day. It would be awesome to find out for myself what it's like to walk around inside.

I've heard the same thing about Centralia. It's generally kind of boring. Neat, but, not much to do.



I know there are some places where I am that are supposed to be haunted. I've been in a few, but not the ones I really want to get into. Most of them are shut down and generally guarded on a regular basis. I know there's a few times a year where the city opens up some old buildings for tours, so one of these times I'm going to get into them and see it. Specifically, Mother Hubbard's. It was an old restaurant made in what was an old Masonic temple. Unfortunately I can't see the clip, let me know if you can.

The Fort Garry hotel here is supposedly haunted. We were there for a wedding reception once a few years ago. Admittedly, we were drunk and figured it was a good time to go exploring. We found some weird rooms that were kind of neat but aside from some swinging lights on the dance floor, we saw nothing of interest. We talked to a few of the staff and they shared their stories but most of them agreed they hadn't heard much either.  However it is kind of built on the site of an old fort when the area was being settled, so who knows what's there?

The creepiest places out where I am would be abandoned houses and towns in the country. They are literally everywhere. My mom and I liked to drive around when we're out at the farm and just find places that look like they used to have old farm houses on them. You can usually tell, because there'll be a perfect series of trees set up in a perimeter in the middle of an otherwise empty, treeless field.

Last time we looked, we found the foundations of an old house, their old water system, and even the wooden wheels of their old covered wagon. There are cast iron bed frames, and some old cars off to the side from someone who started using the area as a dump later on. I wish I had a metal detector... Or that we'd thought to bring our cameras.

In another one we found an old shed and it had a coffin in it. I opened it (and my mom was freaking out, lol) and it was just full of straw, but it was a very old coffin from what I could gather. You don't see anything in that style or shape anymore; it wasn't a rectangle, it tapered at the bottom towards the feet, and had a small window section near where the face would be that could slide out of the way and you could see inside. My mom told me later that the farmer who owns the property asked her why she was out there and she said we were just exploring, didn't know anyone owned it. He wasn't mad, just curious, and so she asked him about the coffin. He claims it's an old prank from some kind of group, but I don't know.

I'm told the old penitentiary in philly has a good haunted house on Halloween.
