What is a Halloween avatar change with no gibs thread? A miserable little pile of potatoes...


What's the scariest/spookiest/most creepy place you ever visited?

As for me, it was an abandoned research facility on the very edge of Prague.
I don't know its official name (I did but I lost the link long time ago) but it was something animal related. It was located on the edge of my town in a little forested area. A dead-end road led there. I don't exactly know when it was abandoned, but my guess is either in the '80s or sometimes soon after the revolution, in very early '90s.

It was creepy even on the outside - there were several rusted remains of cages scattered in the forested area, and the whole place was really littered with animal bones. It was also really, really quiet in there, like no birds chirping and stuff.

There were several buildings. Well, some were more like shacks. One of them was a storage of chemicals and chemistry related glass stuff like vials of all kinds and other thingies. As kids do, we of course broke in there and took basically anything that seemed cool. I still have some vials in the basement. We were also really stupid and messed with bottles labeled with a skull and crossbones and stuff, but nobody died so I guess it was ok.

Main attraction was one of the larger buildings, which was like a madman's laboratory inside. There was a room with tables full of stuff like a horse skull, piles and piles of necropsy logs and other paperwork. There were shelves full of jars with crazy stuff, like horse embryos, various other animals and my favorite two headed rat (or other rodent).

Back then we were kids so these things were really scary. Nowadays I kick myself for not stealing the two headed rat and some other cool thingies. Sadly, junkies burnt the whole place down in early '00s so future generations of kids won't have a cool scary place to dare each other to visit.


Onto gibs, these should all be spooky games or at least mildly spooky-related. Quality of many games is dubious.

Nice avatar. Vampire/10 would rate again.

The scariest place I ever visited was the bathroom in a guest house I once stayed in.

I've got IBS, so holding stuff inside till end of school is not possible for me. However, I'm at IT class, so I have many lessons in computer classes and they are all on highest floor of the school, and that floor has also a very nice, clean toilet, so WIN. :3

Outside

But for real, I don't remember visiting any scary places. I guess I never encountered anything creepy or my mind is just doing a good job with forgetting about it.

Auschwitz. It was somewhat creepy when you still felt the smell of ashes and blood in some of the buildings.
But damn, I'd have wanted to go to that abandoned research facility you mentioned! A shame that they burnt it down.

A morgue. It's not the dead or the walls or the smell that disturbs you. It's the people. They accepted death in a way I can hardly understand and comfortable with the idea. To them, it happens everyday, all day. And they embraced the fact. With that, they lose something along the way and it creeps me out.

I was trapped in a mausoleum as well, and it also didn't affect me in any way. In fact, I was the same as the day before for the next 200 years. Mausoleums are harmless:-)

At a abandoned house. Me and 2 friends went there, and at first it was all really normal, just an unfinished abandoned house, no big deal.
That's when went up to the 2nd floor. Next to the stairs there was a bathroom. Inside that bathroom was a wooden cross full of nails nailed in it.

We freak'd out and ran the hell out of that place!

Hopefully for us, that happened during daylight :P

Years later(we were kids back then), I met a guy, who is a friend of mine now, who claims there are 2 children ghostes there, and they live in the garage(for some reason) and that place is/was indeed haunted. But we didn't knew back then, and honestly we would avoid to go there if we knew.
I don't know if that's true or not, but by my experience, I rather not know.

I learned that the hard way...me and my friends went to an abandoned house, turns out it was being used by homeless people and drug addicts, i guess the poor homeless guy sleeping on the floor was more freaked out that we where there.
also a squashed cat, not sure how that happened

An old village church in Germany, there was a coffin in the center of the church for a funeral Mass.
And no I didn't take a look and opened the coffin...it still haunts me.

When I was little, I thought haunted houses booby-trapped stuff a lot more. I didn't know they weren't allowed to touch you, etc. That makes them a lot scarier when you're expected to get kidnapped through a spinning wall scooby doo style or have the floor drop out into a slide

Weirdly enough, a house that a realtor had me look at. There was no one living in it at the time, and it had no furniture, but there were odd bits laying about. Like a creepy old high school photo laying face down in a closet. There was a detached barn out back and when we opened it, it was a completely stocked workshop full of old tools that looked like nothing had been moved for 20 years. The whole place had an unsettling disquiet about it. The realtor and I were standing near the front door inside the house and it had been left wide open by us earlier. Then it suddenly, slowly, swung closed by itself even though there wasn't any wind. We both turned to look at it the moment it started moving. We watched it close, looked at each other, and decided it was time to leave.

If you bought the house you could've inspired dozens of bad horror movies after you would inevitably go insane/missing.

An apartment owned by an old lady with some kind of compulsive hoarding disorder. There were rats so big I thought they were dogs. We had to call back up and dress up 2 guys like divers.

An abandoned mental hospital in my state, NJ. Not the kind where you get a guided tour (I've done those as well), the kind where the place is shut down and ruined and you and your friends break in to explore.

I find those generally the most scary places, what with mental treatments in the past being ... very bad to say the least.
Breaking in should be the most authentic experience :-)

The Queen Mary!! Geez, this ship/hotel makes my skin crawl every time I step aboard it. I will be attending their annual Halloween party as well with my girls. I'm sure it will be an uber fun time!!

Will recommend this place to anyone who loves such places. There Is a lot history behind its reasons of being haunted

EDIT: Just found some interesting photos

I've been to a few ghost hunting groups. I wouldn't say I 'believe' in ghosts or the afterlife, but I am an open minded. There was an odd energy in the rooms, not necessarily of ghosts, but it was an energy of a group of people getting freaked out, mass hysteria? I can't explain it... but something happens in a room, when people are spooked or take on a belief of something peculiar. I wish I could explain it better. :) Anyways... we were at the Brookdale Lodge It's on the list of haunted US destinations. I did get strange orbs in every photo I took there, even the ones inside, but there is a creek running through the property so... Another group I went to was at a person's house. We all listened to radio static. We all heard 'the voices' /insert spooky music here. I heard the voices say "F%^& Y#@ leave us alone" and other profanities. Another person heard them saying something about their uncle and someone else thought they were talking about a sweater. So we recorded it, played it back repeatedly and clearly heard different things. I also noticed it was odd how toys randomly came off the shelves at the supposedly haunted Toys R Us in Sunnyvale CA which I later learned was considered haunted.
One book I've enjoyed was Spook by Mary Roach It's a funny and lighthearted book about the beliefs of life after death.

I've never consider an of the places I've visited scary/spooky/creepy. However my local museum (long, long time ago) has some super old stuff like ventriloquist dummies, pieces from ships that had sunk, weapon & so on. I use to make up stories of dummy's coming to life & murderous ghosts to tell to the other kids, scare the crap out of them lol. I was jerk when I was little.
