Creepy Former Boarding House

Creepy Former Boarding House
07/2013

I shouldn't have lived in this creepy old house to begin with, it creeped me out the first time I saw it. But I was young and the price was right. The lady who rented it to me claimed that it had been in her family for a very long time and used to be a boarding house in the late 1800s. This is one of the older neighborhoods in Grand Rapids so I believed her. The outside looks normal and modern but once you enter the building it feels and looks like you stepped into a time warp. I did not sleep well the entire year I lived there due to recurring nightmares that I didn't experience when I slept elsewhere for a night or 2. In my nightmares a scary old man was trying to get to me and violate me in some way, a man who I had never seen before. My closets would open for no reason even though they magnetically latched. I felt like I was being watched everywhere in the apartment.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
