Liminal spaces are the aesthetically strange rooms that nobody can get enough of. For the uninitiated, a liminal space “is a location which is a transition between two other locations, or states of being.” For instance, pools, hallways, and abandoned rooms all can fit into the definition of “liminal spaces.” This aesthetic trend developed in the 2010s and has gained popularity both on TikTok and in the video game Backrooms, which depicts different ominous spaces a player must try to escape. The…

It could be said that we take Google for granted, and they make it really easy for us. Like, really easy. The search engine provides answers to our most pressing (and stupid) queries and pushes the most useful information to the top. It's rare that we make it halfway through the results. We save that for creepily searching our dates. Anyway, it's even rarer that we bravely push forward to the second page of results. Because the second page is only for the braves. The second page is a dark and m…

They have so many eyes...

What is it about the night that transforms the seemingly mundane into the stuff of nightmares ? It can't just be about the dark. It feels deeper and more primal than that. There's no doubt that the sound of an ice cream truck is pleasant, warm and nostalgic at 3PM, but completely sinister at 3AM. One twisted soul encouraged the redditors of r/AskReddit to list a bunch of different things that feel normal during the day, but terrifying at night. We've collected all of our favorites for your amus…

Every family has its quirks, but this redditor's story about how her in-laws reacted to the sex of her unborn child is beyond unsettling. The family nearly had a collective mental breakdown after they failed to will a baby boy into existence through various “rituals,” the ultimate goal possibly being to superimpose their dead grandfather's identity onto the kid. Yikes. Sounds like something out of Rosemary's Baby or Hereditary. Jokes aside, OP's family likely just needs some serious grief couns…

OK, Annie??

TikTok dances are a staple of the platform, but Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae might have some competition in the form of a bald dancing animated man.

Job interviews are one of the more nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing things a person can experience. To take an already stressful situation and crank up the discomfort by throwing some sexual harassment into the mix is downright sociopathic. When u/R_Rover_2013 called out her interviewer after he asked a series of highly personal and inappropriate questions, he threw a fit and ended the interview. I guess he thought asking a potential hiree about what kind of guys she likes to date was a total…

The paranormal world is a pretty big part of pop culture . It overlaps with the horror genre (the unexplainable, to most people, is pretty damn terrifying), and has been the basis for (or a topic on) sixty eight reality television series. People live for ghost stories, tales of UFO sightings and abductions, and somehow, are really interested in Bigfoot. I know some folks who shell out hundreds of dollars on psychics, and hold seances in earnest. If I hadn't heard a ghost story from an entire fa…

Renting an Airbnb can be a double-edged sword. It can be nice to rent a whole apartment instead of one room at a hotel. However, there are so many aspects of Airbnbs that are unregulated and hard to predict, and this case is no exception.

Is it safe to post a picture of your house? An Instagram story of your street? Are stalkers snooping on your social media to find your exact location on a map? Well, yes and no.

Every couple has their mundane problems, but what does it say about your relationship when you start to suspect your partner of conspiring against you? Either some underlying trust issues have always been lurking just under the surface of your otherwise healthy relationship, or maybe you really have been living with a duplicitous psychopath all along. Redditor u/ThrowRAissuesRA turned to Reddit for advice after a series of seemingly harmless games with their husband took an unsettling turn.
