BuzzFeed Compiles 37 Unsettling US Places From Reddit Users
1 articles · Updated · BuzzFeed · Jun 26
Summary
Thirty-seven US locations — from Skidmore, Missouri, to Mare Island, California — were compiled in a BuzzFeed list of the "most unsettling" places, based on Reddit and BuzzFeed Community submissions.
Reddit user Bennevada sparked the roundup by asking r/AskReddit users to name the creepiest places they had visited in America, producing accounts of ghost towns, isolated desert stops and communities with disturbing local reputations.
Several entries tied the eerie feel to concrete backstories, including Picher, Oklahoma's EPA Superfund cleanup, Centralia, Pennsylvania's underground coal fire and the Salton Sea's ecological collapse.
BuzzFeed said the 37 picks reflect user opinions drawn from one main Reddit thread, four similar threads and community comments, and invited readers to submit more unsettling towns for a future article.
