40 Hauntingly Eerie Liminal Places That Defy The Bounds Of Reality

The term liminal space is often used online to refer to long corridors, empty rooms or street stretches that look surreal. These places resonate with an eerie echo that, perhaps due to lighting or the objects around, often creates an unnerving ambience. These spooky surroundings have an other-worldly atmosphere which comes across even through a photograph, as you can see for yourself from the images in the gallery below.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
