[@somechannel4027]

I’m late, but I know why we fear these liminal spaces. These spaces, once bustling with life, now devoid of it, make us think of the crowds that had gathered in them. We expect life to be there, but know there is none. This gives us an eerie feeling, like being watched, because we look for life, but find none. It gives a feeling devoid of hope, dread taking its place, because we often can’t help but think, “What happened here? Why are there no more people? Where have they gone?” We are social creatures, used to being around others, especially in places like these. For some, that feeling of there being life around us may not fade when there is none, fueling the fires of paranoia and fear. We know people were here, but we feel like they still are. All these questions, these feelings, this paranoia, it all drives fear into our souls. We are forced to fear these tranquil places by our instincts, telling us that we need to leave, that the other people are gone so we to must go. It scares us because we want to see other friendly life, life we can relate to and share time with. Liminal spaces hold this feeling, and it is the reason why we fear them. I don’t know if this makes any sense, I’m just trying to organize my thoughts. Thanks for reading, if you did

[@Delta547]

The whole concept of "creepy liminal spaces" seems as very western-oriented, I think. Here in Russia (or, more generally, I guess in all former Eastern Bloc countries) we've got things like Brutalist architecture, the "famous" Khrushchyovkas, and buildings of Brezhnev-era stagnation, that lacks any personality, aestetics and care for human comfort. In general, soviet-era city-planning leave no place for people to actually live, you're treated by them more like a unit moving from one place to another. That's liminal space on the scale of the city. Soviet Era is gone, ofc, but traces of it are felt to this day (again, I guess in different places it hits on different scale). We constantly exposed to empty "uneasy spaces", and kinda tolerant to it, I belive. Or at the very least they hit us on a different level. And another thing - all late-period soviet-era buildings looks kinda the same. And all districts in city planned the same way. And all towns and cities are the same. Streets share the same naming stucture, populated by the same-looking buildings, with same interiors. That's intentional. Why would you even need otherwise? What are you, bourgeois? Even in Soviet era it was played up in comedy "The Irony of Fate", where drunken guy accidentaly fly to Leningrad, and beliving he is still in Moscow, took taxi to the place with exact same adress, wich looks the same, and uses the same key - he get in, fell asleep, and later was found by real apartements tenant (wich is young woman, ofc, and that sparks the main plot). So there is little-to-no nostalgia about some place you might seem once, because nothing memorized, because nothing is unique :/ Like, look at that playground at 3:23. It isn't eerie, it's just part of natural east european landscape. I'm actually know place that look very similar in ~10 minutes from my home. Alongside others pictures displayed, which is clearly more western-looking structures and looks kinda alien to me, it feels almost cozy. Like home :/

[@TenositSergeich]

Agreed. Western people in general assume their existence is a default experience - maybe because they do not have compare their lives with someone else's, but, that is how things work. I find many of these images calming - I enjoyed staying in empty rooms at school or wander around "zabroshki" because I do not like company. There is some interesting quality to them, but I do not percieve them as uneasy or spooky. I guess growing up in an era of desolation and fall of quality of life does that to you. But, I am intrigued at what people here, or in other places and times, would percieve as eerily nostalgic.

[@CBRN-115]

This kind of liminal space isn't like an Asian interior design, so it doesn't feel notalgic of comfortable

[@pennypay1]

I'm American too. That Western default experience is an important point and one I was considering earlier, so I'm glad someone brought it up. I did briefly think of Pripyat when I saw that playground photo (different place; same 'vibe'), and all its abandoned flatblocks. And I explored the Backrooms wiki levels' photos and their descriptions. The interior ones were so often from Western design concepts. The outdoor levels lacked stuff like baobab trees, or rice fields, or buildings with distinct India or East Asian architecture. Backrooms are a 'universal' concept; the representation was far from that.

[@hoon4tw]

I'm glad there is a term for these spaces now. Back in 2001 I was working a construction night shift in a massive single floor office building that housed about 1500 employees during the day. Most of the offices were cubicles so you could see through most of the area of the space. It was a little bit strange seeing this place that is supposed to be full of life in a state of being devoid of life. But I got over it rather quickly. I think career office workers are the people that get their brains buzzed at the thought of that emptiness, they see their spaces during the day full of activity and then they see them without any signs of life. During the COVID shutdown I was asked to take a shift at night for security on a 500,000 sq ft building and I walked that building alone every night several times. I liked being in that space alone. I like the idea of liminal spaces because they are fascinating to look at, but they are just places that aren't being utilized.

It is irrational, yes. But so are most phobias. Some are afraid of spiders. Some are afraid of falling. Some are afraid of the dark. But some. Some are afraid of forests, and their hidden hatred. And some. Some are afraid of spaces, and their blatant hatred of those who see them.

I feel like your voice is different

[@idoalittletrolling4867]

I've always kind of liked the feeling of loneliness you get from these. I used to walk around the mall when it was about to close. No one was around (besides the occasional janitor), it was just the old mall, the echoing quiet music and me.

i wish u uploaded more. ur content is some of the best on yt

[@V0ID_X5]

You know what’s creepy: when you have a dream of a familiar place and something is slightly off.

[@theheavy4216]

they are creepy because not only there's no one there, but because the loneliness can create feelings of that there's some monster, ghost, whatever, hidden, that could appear anytime, and run towards you. (atleast for me)

[@jakealthaus3199]

For me it’s that even though you know that there’s no one around you can’t help but feel that someone or something is watching or hunting you

Rickrolled with no Rick. Well played.

[@thegreendragon9628]

yay I've been waiting for this all day

[@codo430]

I understood the concept since watching for the first time, but I've really come to appreciate it as life's returned to a normal, sociable state. I stay late for after school clubs now, and on my way out, lights turn on automatically because I'm the only person who's been there in the past hour.

Before I knew what the backrooms were, I dreamt I was in them. I remember trying desperately to get to the highest levels to escape. As I got higher and higher, the hallways began to get more unnatural, randomly narrow or wide, horizontal splits in the ceilings, and oh yeah, more monsters to hide from.

Anytime I see a new KZbin video mention silent hill or use the music I am all for it!

[@BillyStyler]

Silent Hill is definitely my favourite horror game series

When he started talking it caught me off guard and it’s scared tf outta me 😭

Another masterpiece Billy. I must say, Minecraft hides the "Liminal Space" very well, WHILE YES its obvious, we ignore it and/or dont even know. I dont know about you, but when playing NORMAL Vanilla Minecraft, I never imagined there would be a "Liminal Space" in such a game. ITS IN PLAIN SIGHT but we dont see/notice it because were having fun playing the game. Games that make "Liminal Space" an even scarier thing : "Project Zomboid" does this very well... 4 major cities now over-run by zombies, "7 DTD" not so much but it still deserves a place and "Generation Zero"... a sweden game where once humanity lived and now its a wasteland of robots. yt broken and didnt give me any notifications, thanks for the community thing, and keep up the awesome work billy!

My parents owned a restaurant and on Friday nights we would have bands come and play some music. We would often close super late, like at 12 or 1 AM. I was on cleaning duty so I would usually be the last person to leave. The feeling of being in the restaurant alone that late at night after everyone else had left always gave me an uneasy feeling. Some nights I would play some music through the speakers to not feel so alone, but man, those nights when I didn't play any music... the sound of nothingness was almost suffocating. Sometimes I swore I heard like a whisper or someone breathing behind me... And also, even when I did play some music, something still felt off.

You hit the nail on the head, to me liminal spaces have always felt like placed I shouldn't be alone, or at that time. Not in a cringe creepypasta sense, but literally, I shouldn't be in this school alone, I shouldn't be in this empty mall, I shouldn't be standing in this park, there's no specific fear of anything, just a feeling that I need to get going.

[@TheSwanqueenAndTheEldricth]

I was so extremely excited for this to come out, I just simply love these topic.

[@OrionRing]

50.000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town.

[@jish8681]

I think you explain liminal spaces best. Best internet thing this year (sm64 is pretty close up there too)
