  Anyone who wants to immerse themselves in uncanny and spooky liminal spaces should try being a 3rd shift janitor for a little while.

  There's something so terrifying with one phrase that I've heard somewhere before. "You can go back to the past, but no one's there anymore."

  My favorite thing about liminal spaces is their resemblance to dreams. Even some common dream phenomenon are liminal such as hidden doors or rooms in your house you didn't know existed

  I went back to my old elementary school to visit. Nothing had changed, but the front hall which looked so big to a little kid seemed small to adult me, and I realized, it had always been this size.

  Forgetting and liminality work incredibly well together. I imagine a movie with no talking, one person just walking around liminal spaces, nothing happens, just walking, then it ends. It isn’t supposed to be good, it’s just there.

  Life is a liminal space in itself. We are all on a journey from birth to death. So life is a one kind of hallway in a way.

  When I was a teenager I would sneak out at night and hang out alone in my small town’s main st. I’d lay in the middle of the busiest road and stare at the stars and listen to the silence. It was awesome, but lonely

  I think it stems from the human fear of being forgotten.<br><br>Nobody wants to be forgotten about, but eventually, we all get forgotten with time.

  Seeing that poor dog who&apos;s been sitting on that chair for half a decade almost made me cry...

  Liminal spaces feel like either a structure or an entire world suffers from dementia rather than the individual, and that’s what makes them so deeply unnerving.

  When Minecraft was released on the Playstation I used to play quite a bit. I&apos;d randomly generate a world.. set it to peaceful..and just wander all over it, seeing what there was to see until I had uncovered the entire map. Floating islands, waterfalls, amazing rock formations, different biomes, animals, caves, treasure rooms (there were always a few), villagers settlements.. you never knew what you would find. I wouldn&apos;t craft anything other than needed tools, or a boat. One day I found an entire herd of horses and just hung out with them. One day I found an entire temple inside a 1x1 hole in the desert. It was so relaxing and peaceful. My daughter found me playing and started asking what I was doing... talking about farms, and buildings, and redstone.. &quot;I&apos;m good.. just exploring&quot;. I don&apos;t think she ever got it. <br>I know a lot of people get freaked out about liminal spaces, but they are peaceful to me. The only thing that is disturbing is if there is something or someone else in there.. that&apos;s the scary part.
