Why are low IQ retards unable to grasp why liminal spaces are scary? Once-lively areas that become abandoned are stripped of context and human life, creating a sense of unease. How we expect these places to be contrasts with their newfound emptiness, causing nervousness. This type of fear has long been recognized, though it isn't completely understood. The idea of "Ghost towns" for example refers to both literal haunted towns and eerily empty urban areas. The mind races at the thought of what lurks beyond its borders. Darkness and deep water enhance the fear of the unknown, and the use of familiar locales gives liminal spaces a surreal, dream-like and often nostalgic element that makes them more unsettling. It's not gaudy "shit-your-pants" horror either you niggers, it's a subtle feeling of unease. Fuck off with these bullshit, disingenuous rationalizations and quit finding ways to feed your culture war.
