There aren’t many experiences most of us can say we share with Kevin McCallister from Home Alone. But being afraid to go into your basement as a kid is probably a common one. I have to admit, they look and feel spooky to me even now. I’d much rather reserve that kind of creepiness for when I watch horror films.
However, some people are into that kind of stuff. The more horrifying, the better. That’s why we’ve compiled some pictures of the most eerie and chilling basements and cellars we could find. Creepy dolls, unsettling Catholic paraphernalia, and just generally uncanny vibes – lovers of all things bizarre will probably have a field day with this.
Bored Panda reached out to Kat and Jethro Gilligan Toth, masters of the creepy and the bizarre and the hosts of The Box of Oddities podcast. Scroll down to see their thoughts on why we find creepy basements so intriguing and their favorite stories from the podcast involving these unsettling spaces!
