" It ’s home to a fundamentalistic craze . "
A while back we perused Reddit and found some interesting threads aboutcreepy, cult-like townsacross the United States. The topic generated A LOT of responses and made me want to see what your thoughts are on the subject. So, tell me, what are some mysterious, cult-like, bad-vibes towns across the United States?
Perhaps you had a sketchy experience in Vidor, Texas, like this person — “I worked on a door-to-door sales team, and we got sent there because we happened to be all ‘white’ at the time. Spoiler: We weren’t all ‘white,’ and our crew included several Latino members. Someone spoke in Spanish, and we were detained by the most overtly racist cops I have ever met and literally escorted out of town. Freaky shit.”
Or maybe you passed through Island Pond, Vermont, and got a bad vibe, like this person — “It’s home to one of theTwelve Tribescommunities. Twelve Tribes is a fundamentalist Christian cult known for its misogyny, racism, child abuse, and workplace exploitation. They operate the Yellow Deli restaurants.”
Heck, you maybe even grew up in Seabrook, Washington, and, like this person, it never sat well with you — “It is idyllic.Perfectlyidyllic. Too much so. StrongStepford Wivesvibes. I read somewhere that it wasinspiredby the town inThe Truman Show.”
