What's spooky in your town?

I'm moving to a creepy town (Staunton, VA), complete with a grave of Vlad Tepes's descendant and two abandoned insane asylums. Lovin' it.

Just wondering if anyone here has something they find creepy in their hometowns.

Just a few short miles from where i sit and type this,lies the remains of none other than.....H.P. LOVECRAFT.He is buried in Swan Point Cemetery and they say that on the anniversary of his demise, if you wander past the graveyard,you can see smoke slowly rising from his grave,and hear the screams of the dead.

OK i made the last part up....but he is buried near my home.

We have the Haunted Bookstore, which closely resembles that old Chinese shop in "Gremlins".

We also this really long tunnel underneath a railway, right next to the river. Some girl got raped there about a year ago, and all the bike riders go blocks out of their way to avoid it now.

You'd think in san diego we'd hav something

But no, we don't.

OK,. im lieing. but having lived here for 18 years i reallyd ont know shit about the place. I guess becuz ive been here my whole life, and probably will remain here, ive really had no incentive to go anywhere. mainly, no one ultra special to go places with. That and i hate planning

I wish I had a digital camera, so I could show my spooky hometown.
There are places like an eerie watertower, who havenīt been used in very long time, and for years ago were we having the ruins of an abadoned soccer club house, but it got teared down.
There is still a lot of ugly buildings left in downtown, like the smith and car factory houses.
We also had an abadoned Arla milk factory like the kids loved to explore, but it got teared down too lately, and replaced with a new house block.

French Quarter
Cemeteries

There's an asylum right across the street from of all places Children's Hospital and that place is too weird.


To tell you the truth this whole city is pretty fucking weird lol.
