Connecticut is creepy as f---, and honestly, I’m all for it. There’s something about this state that just exudes an eerie vibe, and I absolutely love it. Seriously, if you're shooting a horror movie anywhere outside of New England, you are kind of missing the point. Why on earth would you want to sit around trying to come up with some fictional setting to scare people, when the real-life creepy infrastructure is already sprawled all over the Nutmeg State? It's like a treasure trove of atmospheric locations just waiting for filmmakers to tap into.

From abandoned houses to shadowy forests and old, crumbling mansions, Connecticut has it all. Every corner of this place has a little something sinister lurking.

In this day and age, mental health treatment is serious business and in most cases, patients are treated with care and respect. This was not always the case in the U.S. and hospitals dedicated to the "mentally ill" became prisons that regularly conducted torture. America is now littered with shuttered hospitals decaying from the inside and the outside. Many believe these places still contain the dark energy left behind by the gruesome acts of the past. One of these places in Norwich State Hospital.

Vacant Putnam Lake Properties

Putnam Lake is a Hamlet of the Town of Patterson In Putnam County, NY. Originally, the community was a vacation getaway for city folks who wanted Lake property in the country. Today, it’s not any kind of weekend or destination getaway but a great place to live, I would know, I grew up there. Like any small town, Putnam Lake, NY has its setbacks. It’s difficult to open any business and even harder to keep the doors open. These are some of the long vacant commercial properties of “The Lake.”
