Liminal spaces are vacant or abandoned spaces that often appear eerily unreal — as if the halogen-lit hallways lead nowhere.
Pictures of these strange places have spawned all sorts of internet copypasta and fiction, like The Backrooms, an expansive lore inspired by a mysterious photo of empty, sickly green-yellow rooms later revealed to be an RC car racetrack in Wisconsin.
Photos of liminal spaces have only grown in popularity, sending chills down the spines of netizens around the world. A24 even hired a teenage content creator to direct a feature-length film inspired by his Backrooms YouTube videos.
Keep going for some of the most unsettling photos of liminal spaces sure to leave you feeling sufficiently freaked out.
