(#2) Twelve Guys Blocked Someone's Way On The Road
From Redditor /u/Syrup_Chugger_3000:
I was a teenager driving around with a friend doing god knows what in southern Louisiana. Figured I would take random turns to see if I could find "shortcuts" between cities (again, no idea what I was thinking). Ended up driving through a neighborhood with bars on windows, houses badly damaged (obvious rot damage, one missing a side door to the house, etc.).
As my friend and I started to get a "we took the wrong turn" vibe is about the time a group of people down the long strip of the road showed up. About 12 guys total all seemed to have appeared out of f*cking nowhere, lined up shoulder to shoulder across the road, and just stared motionless at my truck approaching.
I decided we were f*cked if I stopped the truck, so I downshifted and charged straight at them full speed. They ended up moving out of the way about a second before I flew past, and by move I mean they just calmly walked just out of range of my truck and went back to standing at the sides of the road.

(#5) A Family Discovers A Creepy, Secretive Town
From Redditor /u/Mike7676:
The weirdest, or just flat out ODD thing I ever witnessed was when I lived in Kansas.
Small backstory: I was in the Army at the time, early in my career with my wife and two very young children. No money, not a lot to do around Ft. Riley unless you liked hunting and fishing, or could afford it. What we would do to alleviate boredom was drive. Just drive around quietly hoping the noise of the road kept the babies quiet. One Saturday in the fall of 2001 we came upon a tiny town. I believe it was south of Topeka as we would go there fairly often just to walk around.
As we drove toward it, we noticed that the little town was laid out... oddly. Like a grid square or suburb but miniscule. Perhaps a dozen homes? At one end of this layout was a large (for its size) barnlike building or school. Clearly abandoned, obvious fire damage the cause. Creepy, interesting, yes, but as we drove around the pattern of homes something else caused us to speed right out. At least five homes, as we drove past, not only slammed doors shut but also closed curtains, shades and faces near windows furtively poked out. Absolutely made our skin crawl and we never went back.
For reference, our car at the time was a light green old Dodge Neon, so its not like they thought it was a police cruiser.

(#8) They Stumbled Into Some Kind Of Time Loop
From Redditor /u/americanslang59:
When I first started working [in] music, I was on my first tour and driving from Phoenix, AZ to Austin, TX. We drove straight there (about 18 hours). The scary part about driving through Texas from Arizona is that once you hit El Paso, you are in the middle of nowhere for about 11 hours. Well, we got off the I-10... and went through a really small town. There were absolutely no cars, nothing was open and no signs of life. We drove for about 15 minutes through there and didn't see a single car... In a couple stores, there were lights on here and there but they were dimly lit. The creepiest thing was a sign that said "Happy Homecoming 2005!" on a store front window but it was actually 2008.
We stayed in Austin for a few days and drove the same roads back to Phoenix. On the way back, we drove through the town around noon on a Friday and the town was busy as sh*t, with hundreds of people just walking around like it was a carnival. Most uncomfortable feeling ever.

(#14) A Field Trip Group Was Bombarded With Questions From Curious Locals
From Redditor /u/leakyaquitard:
During a week of field camp (AKA my geology program's capstone course), we were passing through Montello, NV. We ended up stopping at the only gas station in town before heading up to a mountain range not too far away. This place is in the middle of nowhere.
While we (a class of around 16) were perusing the gas station, what I could only imagine being the rest of the town showed up in the gas stations asking us all kinds of questions, like where we were going, how long we'd be out there, what university we were from and if we'd be digging around in the mountains or not. This may not sound that weird but a lot of people (along with me) in my class were thoroughly creeped out.

(#12) One Redditor's Town Is Lined With Puppets
From Redditor /u/benrules2:
There is a famous puppeteer (by puppeteering standards) who lives in our town and most of the store owners have commissioned puppets made in their image. As a result, our main street has creepy puppets in the front window of every shop.

(#10) Townsfolk Watched Them Eat Dinner
From Redditor /u/YesterdayWasAwesome:
Driving from Denver to Mount Rushmore, my family stopped somewhere in Wyoming for dinner. Town population was somewhere in the neighborhood of 120-150.
There were two restaurants in the town. When we entered, it was pretty busy and right out of a movie, everyone turned around and stared at us.
People were staring at us throughout the entire dinner. It was unnerving.
