If you ever find yourself in a space that brings up a feeling of ‘not knowing what’s up but something’s definitely up’ you may have encountered a liminal space. Obsessed over by fans who chase the unsettling feel, liminal spaces have become somewhat of a mysterious phenomenon surfing around the internet.
According to Imgur user RobJustice, “The liminal space is the 'crossing over' space, a space where you have left something behind, yet you are not yet fully in something else. It's a transition space.”
And thanks to the r/LiminalSpace subreddit with 237k members, we now have some of the most captivating examples to rest (or stress) our eyes on. From bowling alleys and abandoned buildings to almost surreal window views and places that feel strangely familiar although you have never been there, it’s hard not to stare for more.
And let us know how you feel about these liminal spaces in the comments below!

Vertical movements are most effective on trees and horizontal movements look great on landscapes and seas. Also wiggling the camera around counts as ICM, as long as there is intention! Pretty cool tbh.
u r correct charlie. im a photographer and i do this sometimes for landscape photos. i cant however for wildlife photography unless the animal is moving then it looks like they r going at super speed. did it for a photo with a running cheetah once. u keep the camera focused on one point but the rest has that sort of blurred effect which is y the tree in the middle is so clear compared to the rest

Well in Walking Dead they keep encountering roadblocks of 100's of discarded cars, making the road impassable. So there is that small problem. :)

Load More Replies...The best thing about lockdown! My husband's commute was quicker and safer. No accidents. Quicker meaning he didn't have to leave as early because no traffic jams, not speeding. He actually said other people were stupid because there wasn't much else for the police but stop speeders without all the accidents! He said he had never seen so many people pulled over!
That's the 110 freeway just south of Downtown LA. Took me awhile to wrap my head around this picture because it's NEVER deserted.

To find out more about these mysterious spaces that have been capturing the internet's imagination, Bored Panda talked to Lillie Marshall, an English teacher and writer who runs Around the World "L" Travel and Life Blog. Lillie is also a self-confessed fan of liminal spaces and discussed the phenomenon in her articles that you can check out here and here.
Lillie said she has been fascinated by the concept of liminal spaces since she was little. “I loved thinking and writing about them. So much of our lives are spent in these in-between spaces, and yet we so often ignore them,” she said and added: “Once you can see the importance and beauty of liminal spaces, it makes it much easier to be in the moment and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.”

Load More Replies...Wonderful. A great antidote for everyone overdosed on all the forced togetherness and gaiety.
I agree. Hell with all this saccharine love eveybody nonsense. The same people that go on and on about kindness and love, their behavior is in direct contradiction to what they demand of others. And I agree it looks quiet and peaceful.
Load More Replies...This gives me a feeling of relief and peace. That moment when the stress the holiday season can bring blends into the mist and dissipates.
When asked how she’d describe a liminal space, Lillie explained it has to do with a magical and transformative quality. “Liminality can exist in physical space, time, and states of being, and refers to that in-between moment where you're between two things.”
Moreover, “It is a sometimes uncomfortable—but extremely important—era of transformation and shifting. Often we get impatient with these transitional spaces, but they are KEY, and are beautiful and profound if you allow yourself to truly be in them and understand their magical gifts,” she concluded.
Well, That's Not A Good Sign...

Load More Replies...why do they- why do they need to tell an employee- what's going to happen-
Interestingly the brain is always trying to map out what is about to happen and fills in the unexpected. It does this by detecting patterns. Deja vu is the feeling when the brain is mapping out what is about to happen but instead of filling in the unexpected it is using a similar memory with similar patterns, triggering a different sensation in the brain than normal everyday mapping.
Please tell me where this is so I can go and see it. I have deja vu all time
new york there r quite a few of them. its street art to promote "if u see something say something" new york city has alot of street art promoting stuff. this is one of the more subtle and smaller ones
Load More Replies...Don't Turn The Corner
This kind of setting is when the aliens come out to play. Suddenly bright lights, strapped down on a table inside their craft, bug eyed humanoids staring down on you, wake up in your car with a sense of lost time and a very sore bum, lol.
I know this bend. Just around that corner is....... a big fairground with unicorns and music playing and everyone having fun.
That's just for kids. For adults, there's a small town that isn't on any map. You stop at the local diner for a burger and a coke, and you can't help noticing that your waitress looks exactly like Janis Joplin. As she's giving you your check, she passes you a note reading "get out while you still can." But it's already too late.
Load More Replies...There i a road like this on the Isle of Wight, somewhere around Sandown I think. Tree tunnel, no lights, no stripes, single lane, scary as heck at night due to the surprisingly high likelihood that you will encounter a car around the bend going the other way and one of you has to back out.

Google Maps Said This Is Where I Can Find Taco Bell, And I Just Realized That The Last Car I Saw Was An Hour Ago...
One time Google Maps told my family our hotel was down River Road, it was a long-ass gravel trail that led to literally nowhere, and we ended up with a 6-inch nail in our tire. F****n Google Maps, man.
We used to live in the Appalachian mountains in VA and years later went back that way for a trip. We chose a hotel just off the interstate, but Google Maps wanted us to take an exit well before arriving. Out of curiosity, we followed the directions on Maps and ended up on a harrowing narrow switchback with blind curves, no guardrail, and a sheer dropoff straight down about 20 - 30 feet to a raging river. The road it wanted us to take beyond that didn't exist. I emailed Google to notify them, but never heard back.
Load More Replies...I feel it's weird that more ppl don't look ahead to see where Google is taking you before committing to a destination. Always double check ppl.
Google is notorious for this. And we humans are notorious for setting aside common sense and placing our trust in technology despite the obvious signs that it is leading us straight into confusion. The O.P. hadn't seen anyone for an hour. I bet her common sense HAD tickled her brain 50+ minutes prior, when there was no Taco Bell sign evident. Kind of like when Google led me and a very anxious friend down an overgrown, swampy trail that displayed as a full-fledged street connecting us to our destination. We had dual supplies of common sense telling us to turn around before it was too late (not a really safe place to be after dark due to natural hazards topographically and creature critter wise) but it still took hours to throw in the towel and give up.
Whenever my family is taking a road trip and we make a wrong turn, take the wrong exit, AKA-lost. We have always called it a "spontaneous adventure"! Discovered many interesting places.
Well in my country we don't have so i would have to drive a loooong way to find one😅

Bored Panda also spoke to Rob Justice, a table-top role-playing game designer and software engineer living in Kansas City, Missouri who is a fan of the liminal aesthetic and has shared an illuminating post on the topic on Imgur.“
A few months ago I saw a picture on Twitter, it's actually the very first one in the imgur post you linked above, and just couldn't stop thinking about it,” he recounted. Rob said he hadn’t heard about liminality so he did a bit of reading. “A few days later I was looking through old pictures on my phone and realized I'd taken a few liminal space pictures myself over the years. Just places that felt unique or odd to me. It's always weird to realize you're a fan of something before you know what it is.”
Stay On The Light. They Won't Be Able To Get You If You're On The Light
Darn caption, just did a game quest that required me to do that, was creepy enough in the game!
I had a dream once where these strange creatures stayed in the shadows but roamed free at night. They couldn’t come into light. The dream ended when me and my sister were sleeping with lamps on. These thingies just outside the window and then there was a power outage. Aaah. The terror in the dream woke me up.
I wouldn't have been able to even sleep...

As soon as we got the wonderful news that tRUMP was OUT, I thought about that right away...afraid they might have placed booby traps! More-Sage-...9d85bd.jpg
Rob believes that there’s “something strangely powerful to the human psyche about transitionary places. The feeling of being between two places is an uncanny feeling, whether it's literal or psychological.”
This feeling can occur in any place. “I recently took a family vacation and we spent several hours in airports, where I kept thinking about the concept of liminality; We're not home but we're not on our vacation yet.” Rob explained that just like most transitions, “it's stressful but there is something comforting knowing that it's temporary. I think that's where people find themselves drawn to liminal pictures. It's temporary places made permanent."

Determined to outsmart the bodies of water that have randomly formed on the roadway and avoid death from a hydroplaning, out of control motor vehicle.

The Entrance To The Infinity Pool. Once You Enter, There Is No Going Back
Finally a pool that's more water than pee. Usually it's the other way around.
When it comes to describing this phenomenon, Rob said that his favorite definition is that “a liminal space is a 'crossing over' or transition space. It's a place where you have left something behind yet you are not yet fully in something else. It's the space between other spaces.”
Turns out that, “liminal is from the Latin word limen, meaning 'a threshold' so a liminal space is often a boundary point of one space beginning and another space ending,” he concluded.

Most VA medical facilities have tunnels underground from one building to others. Used in inclement weather, or to avoid traffic - or your boss....

Every night they left their hidey holes, shallow caves and damp borrows to gather here. They didn't dare to step out from among the trees, they were only shapeless forms carefully moving from one cover to another. Nonetheless they came every night here, to the lights hanging over the endless strips that brought terrible dangers to them during day time. But at night they were here forming a silent circle. They watched the lights changing colors as they listened to the whisper of the old ones. That they used to stand tall, walked freely day and night. They rode these roads with their parents at the wheel passing under the lights without fear. Unbelievable the stories were. Still, the lights kept changing their color, hour after hour, day after day, year after year. Still they came here to watch, to listen and to see the change.
You're tempted to just ignore the light and keep driving cause you know nobody's there but you also know that as soon as you're in the middle of the street a semi will crash into our side full speed and horn blaring.
The Exam Will Take Place Down The Hall And To The Left, Good Luck
Good luck... I need a particular set of skills for moments like this...
I can hear and smell it. The sounds of the boiler hissing off behind some closed door, some random clang coming. The sound of a door closing some distance away, echoing down the hall. The smells of old books, and that odd cedar stuff they used to clean vomit or blood up with...There's also a curious acrid smell of something burning that you can't quite place the source of.

I remember that it was Easter Monday but it was cold and there were snow storms over the West of the UK. We get off at this station, and it's not been used for well over 10 years and only four of us get off. It's dark and the snow is really falling heavily, so we stand together as a group to try and keep sheltered. We were there for about 40 minutes wondering where we are, why we've been dropped here and if we'll be here all night. Eventually a train does turn up and we almost cry with relief!!!! Scariest 40 minutes I've ever spent on a station platform.

I used to clean those floors. I was required to vacuum them every day. I was required to empty the trash at least twice a day. I was required to go around spraying insecticide twice a week. My fellow workers were mostly from Jalisco and Vera Cruz. I do not speak their language. But i speak LA pidgin. So that's how we survived that . This photo brings back memories.

Something tells me you walk up one set and appear walking down the others.
you walk up that flight of stairs and pop out behind the camera walking on the roof.
Looks very much like setting of a dream I had a few years ago. Thanks.

This looks like the stairwell in that Madness song - one step beyond
"Hay you, don't watch that watch this. This is the heavy heavy monster sound".

You are stuck in that tunnel forever as it just goes around and around....
Not a regular circle, but like a freaky circle!

Watch out for the Crested Crane...it isn't a guy hanging himself.
someone noticed in that scene in the trees behind the trio as they sing along you can notice someone hanging in the trees
There is an image of one of these where one of the munchkin men hanged himself in the back ground. Apparently its a true story.
It is not a true story. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hanging-munchkin/

I LOVED it. The shining vibes all over. There must be a (genetic? Neurological?) reason why this kind of scenario scares us all
It's mostly places were we're used to seeing other people. It's odd and unnerving to see them empty. A while back, I worked at a 24 hour Walmart. We only closed on Xmas eve. It was really bizarre being in there when it was devoid of customers. Airports after midnight, subway stations when the trains aren't running, an empty waiting room. All are a little spooky.

I still don’t understand it. These are just artistic pictures of empty places and interesting architecture. I see no transition between whatevers or anything weird. Also, this got attention again because of Inside, by Bo Burnham, where he mentions his sock puppet lives in liminal space when unused.
None of these scared me either. They merely looked interesting or peaceful to me.

Flickering fluorecent lights, doors moving in the wind, old style isolation units and art-deco stained glass windows. Too bad I wasn't allowed to take pics. They would have fit nicely in this post.
When I was walking in there I tried not to think of the tremendous amount of suffering and suicides that had taken place within those walls. Also apparently during the war the 'undesirables' living in the ward got 'cleaned up' by the nazi's.
