‘Florida, Missouri’
![30 Creepy Towns People Have Visited](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/0/7/0/1124070_320x180.jpg)
Whether it’s the undeniable presence of inbreeding or a mine town turned murder town, every state has at least one locale that seems like a perfect setting for a horror movie. One Redditor, for instance, cited the eerily quiet town of Green Bank, West Virginia, which is near a radio telescope that’s sensitive to interference, meaning inhabitants aren’t allowed to use electronics.
Other Redditors have named the places they had the misfortune of driving through, stopping by or spending the night in, and it sounds like Powers, Oregon, is among the most terrifying places on Earth.

![Discipline-Salty 3mo ago Picher, Oklahoma. Abandoned lead mining town that produced most of the lead for the world wars. The town is riddled with sinkholes from poor mining practices and is the largest ЕРА superfund clean up site.

![paddjo95 3mo ago It's barely a town anymore but definitely Mineral Springs, Missouri. It was once a bustling town with a famous hot spring, but it dried up. Now various people live in very old houses with no electricity. No one knows their names but they send one person into town a month for groceries. If you're there very long at all, they WILL shoot at you. 415 Reply ...](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/0/9/6/1124096.jpg)

![Resident_Job3506 6mo ago Edited 6mo ago Amboy, California. Was a route 66 boomtown, with a railroad stop. When I-40 was opened, bypassing Amboy it withered and died. Only it didn't give up the ghost. There are some famous murders that occurred in town (If you can call it a town, it's only three buildings at a crossroad). Legend has it that Charles Manson and the Manson family would frequent the diner in the 1960s as it was the closest part of civilization to their nasty little hippie commune. Last time I was there was about 25 years ago, driving through.](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/0/7/9/1124079.jpg)

It was all good until it got dusk and the spidey senses kicked in big time.

![Starbucks_Lovers 6mo ago Man this was years ago, but it was around 1998 or 1999, when I was 9. my family drove us to Mount Rushmore from Denver. We stopped off the highway in a random Wyoming town with a population of just over 100. We had a choice between two restaurants and entered one. Straight from a horror movie, when we walked in, the entire restaurant, packed with most of the town, fell silent. We ate and everyone was staring at us.

Last month, I was visiting family in Florida and my best friend lives a few towns over from Clearwater. Не took me to a place that entailed driving through downtown Clearwater. It is impossible not to notice that every building had brand new paint, all the shops looked sparking clean, and there was not a soul to be seen.
