20 of the Most Haunting Places People Have Ever Been

You may spend mere seconds in an unsettling place, but that’s all the time it takes for the memory to haunt you for the rest of your life. 

One Redditor, for example, can’t shake the horrors they saw while visiting South Korea. They were making their way through bustling downtown Daegu when they walked into a train station. It turned out that this particular train station was the site of a devastating arson attack 20 years earlier. If you’re wondering how he knew, it’s because the station has been memorialized, so the scorched walls, burnt phone booths and victims’ handprints remain there as a reminder of the tragedy.

To that end, other Redditors have shared their experiences in haunted pockets of the world, including an Arizona campsite, a French graveyard and the scariest place of all: a Greyhound station in upstate New York.

diederich 5y ago | was doing some intense solo off trail hiking in the Eastern Sierras and found an old mine entrance. Being a teenager I immediately walked in there. Shortly thereafter, I started getting light headed and ran back out. | could have easily passed out and died, and, given the extremely remote location, remained unfound for years. - 203 ...
wellnesswineandtacos 1y ago PHL via SEA, JFK, and LAX The Rosario Resort on Orcas Island (San Juan Islands, Washington State). | was staying a few miles away but popped into the hotel while we were out exploring. Went to the 2nd floor and felt a sense of unease almost immediately. Couldn't really describe it, but I felt like I needed to get out of the room I was in ASAP. Never felt anything like it. 16 ...
remes1234 5y ago . Edited 5y ago | spent two weeks alone at an abandoned silk factory and nuclear waste cleanup site in a small rural town. No electricity. It was 120 years old. Roofs colapsing. It was creepy. Dark, wet, strange noises. One corner of an upper floor was walled off with plastic sheeting, work lites and a table. Never did figure out what was going on there. There was a eyeball scraweled on the wall in another area in red marker with the words it sheds the blood here underneath. The building is gone now. - 259 ...
TucsonTacos 1y ago Arizona Bisbee. Took the walking ghost tour and it was a lot of typical bullshit but there was one hotel where I went down a hallway and the temp seemed to drop and air pressure increase suddenly and I was like yeah I'm not going down this hallway. Was pretty spooky and I'm not a believer in that stuff. My GF was scared the whole night so our romantic getaway was ruined and we had to sleep in our badass covered wagon bed with the fucking lights on and a blanket over the mirror 18 ...
 1y ago Gettysburg battlefields at night. I saw/heard some pretty strange scary things. Had this atmosphere of absolute fear and dread and felt like I was being watched. 121 ...
Fappy_as_a_Clam 1y ago Michigan:Grand Rapids Top 1% Commenter Deep Appalachia at night. I'm not a very superstitious person, but that lizard brain kicks in and the area is just so old, it's like the weight of deep time crushing down on you, letting you know that even though you live in the pinnacle of humanity, you're nothing to those mountains. Less than an eye blink. They are older than humans. Older than grass. Older than bones. They've chewed up and buried greater things than you without slowing down, so you best get back to that fire, lest something come to
TillPsychological351 0 1y ago | had a few Boy Scout canoeing and camping trips to the Pine Barrens when I was a kid. Something just feels... off about the region. Your voice doesn't carry if you shout, but it seems like you can hear people talking from a mile away. The landscape is almost completely flat, so everything looks the same once you get about 100 yards into the woods. I can see why so many legends and ghost stories come from there. 17 ...
icedlemons 5y ago Edited 5y ago I had a shop/ceramics studio in a hospital morgue from the 1920s it was rented out as anything goes space but you're not officially a proper tenant kinda thing. There were dark underground halls with low hanging pipes to all sorts of crazy busted down rooms. Also a dank mustiness that wouldn't go away. It was haunted upstairs in that ghost teams would investigate all the time. However some funny stuff happened while you were alone in the space/basement. I.e. if you Disturbed things like long shut access panels, they would reopen on their
 1y ago The woods surrounding Lewisburg, TN. Can't say what it is... the vibe is just off. You start seeing a lot more birds of prey circling overhead when you get close. A lot of scraggly-looking trees no matter what time of year it is. That kind of thing. 49 ...
arthur2-shedsjackson 5y ago A greyhound station in Buffalo NY in the middle of the night. | thought for sure | was going to get mugged. - 2K ...
BarryHalzac . 5y ago An abandoned set of buildings that were part of a former college campus, next to an abandoned military airfield. There was a lot to explore, but it definitely gave off an unsettling vibe. There was even an enterable hangar that had a bunch of torn gas masks lying on a pile in the middle of it 1.8K ...
klavertjedrie 5y ago The old graveyard of Olargues in the Hérault, France. I was camping in the neighbourhood and we visited the village, old and beautiful. We were young and inquisitive and climbed the wall around an old graveyard. What we found were 19th century graves, often in little grave houses. But grave robbers had yanked the lead coffins out of the houses and everywhere were opened coffins with skeletons. It was actually very sad to behold. There were 5 of us and without a warning we all ran to the wall and jumped back to the world of the
RichardLundstrom 5y ago I've been to most of the Middle East and not in a tourist capacity, but getting chased by teens with machetes yelling Mzungu Mzungu (white devil) in Uganda kinda sets the bar. Last time | went to Africa as a tourist. 1.6K ...
buddha_mjs 5y ago Pennington Hollow (Hollar to the locals) in Ashe County North Carolina. | don't know if it's still this way today, but back in the 90s everyone who lived there was named Pennington and you didn't go there unless your name was Pennington. The cops didn't even go there. Think the movie 'Deliverance'... There was a whole classroom in my high school for the special Pennington kids... I once accidentally drove my little 49cc scooter into Pennington hollar when exploring random back roads. Once I realized where I was I turned off my engine and went into bicycle
tenderlittlenipples e 5y ago | was in a small town in Laos high on magic mushrooms when the power went off in the full town , local street dogs took the opportunity to fight it out, it was fucking terrifying 2.3K ...

cafediaries 5y ago . Edited 5y ago Reconstructed subway which exploded years ago in Daegu, Korea. They memorialized the explosion on site: scorched walls, melted people's items, burnt phone booths and all, but the scariest was the scorched walls with writings and handprints of the people that were trapped during the explosion. This subway is one of the busiest stations even today due to being the city's downtown area.
natkolbi 5y ago We were on our way to Flagstaff, AZ for the Overland Expo and planned to camp near there the night before it started since we were on a longer overland trip. It was this place in the woods that was recommended by other who were there before. It all seemed fine and we set up camp. At night when we brushed our teeth we noticed there were animal skulls hanging in the trees all around us, it was super scary. We packed up and spend the night in a Hotel. 3.1K ...
JackofScarlets 5y ago My brother went to visit my uncle in Papua New Guinea. Не stayed the night in Port Moresby, one of the most dangerous cities in the world. His escort was a friend of my uncle's, an Australian Federal Police Officer (that's FBI equivalent), and the hotel had armed guards at the gate, the front door, the desk and hallway to his room, from memory. The room was also protected, solid doors and stuff, with a panic room and an escape route, should the main room be breached. So uh, yeah, I'd say that would be a mite
UrbanBob 5y ago Went to an abandoned military base one evening. There were even decommissioned tanks dotted around. Had a look in a few buildings which were just empty and falling apart; the whole place was silent. Then we walked up to a building which had its door already slightly open. We peaked inside and there were glow sticks brightly marking a path up the stairs and into the darkness. Nope. - 134 ...
