NYC, the area of the former WTC must have an eerie vibe.

For me, San Francisco...first time I visited was in the early '90's, AIDS.... I felt ghosts all around me. I have been back many times and there is something that spooks me.

San Francisco is beautiful and makes me feel good, overall, but somehow it has given me creepy vibes at random moments.

I was born and raised there so maybe I'm biased, but Portland, Oregon. It has a very seedy history and there are many locations/buildings that have a strange atmosphere and/or feel haunted to me. USA Today apparently once declared it one of the top ten most haunted cities in the country.

Other places I've been that feel legitimately haunted:

Wallace, Idaho (extremely weird energy)

Spokane, Washington

Deer Lodge, Montana

Bennington, Vermont (also extremely weird energy)

Pittsfield, Massachusetts

Another one I forgot to add: Astoria, Oregon

Husband is from Salem, MA. It just seems very gay, gentrified, and cheerful to me, with tons of tourists.

The Garden District of NOLA is sinister but beautiful. Dead quiet. Overgrown trees dripping with Spanish Moss form a dark canopy that prevents direct sunlight. The curtains are drawn in the windows of all the big old mansions that look slaveryesque. It is hot and humid and the air is so still. Creepy.

Anywhere inland in rural Main is creepy to me. I don't like it at all, especially getting lost. My Salem hubs feels the same way.

Nothing about West Coast cities feel haunted to me.

Would imagine that Rust Belt cities feel haunted. Never been to one.

Did you mean Gettysburg R25? A lot of people have reported eerie vibes at Gettysburg - site of large numbers of dead soldiers in the Civil War. Harrisburg is poor and trashy - maybe sketchy more than spooky.

by Anonymousreply 33August 28, 2025 2:32 AM

You bitches haven't mentioned the spookiest. . . DETROIT.

With all those abandoned buildings, it's wonderful.

And it has a robust Satanist community.

Totally agree on Gettysburg. I've said this before but all that pain and trauma hangs around. You can feel it the second you step out of your car or onto the fields.

Troy NY . I never felt comfortable living there. It had some great architecture (all a tad seedy) but it always felt so dark to me. I dont know if its because its a once prosperous city down on its luck or just the history soaked into it but we always went to Albany if we wanted to have fun.

Tulsa was a creepy place as well. I was so glad we didnt stay there too long. The people werent hostile ,but they were rather stiff necked to 'strangers' .
