Creepy Places

These are my top five creepiest places to visit in World of Warcraft.
5 – Coming in at number five for creepiness, is walking around inside the Karazhan instance by yourself after areas have been cleared. The architecture is wonderful but something about the place feels extremely spooky, as if some thing will be jumping out at you at any time. The convoluted hallways leading up to Aran, are probably the highlight…be sure to look straight up. http://www.wowwiki.com/Karazhan
4 – Positioned at the Number four on my list of creepy spots is the Amber Web Pass on Blood Myst Island, one of the Draenei starting areas. Something about those scary looking spiders and webs strung all over the place, makes me want to get out a huge can of raid. http://www.wowwiki.com/Amberweb_Pass
3 – Coming in at Number three on my list has to be Darrowshire in Eastern Plaguelands. According history, during the second war, Darrowshire was attacked by a Scourge regiment led by the ghoul lord Horgus the Ravager and the death knight Marduk Blackpool. Darrowshire is ruined village that appears haunted by sadness and loss. It is said that the people who fell here wander aimlessly through plaguelands as ghouls. http://www.wowwiki.com/Darrowshire
2 - Number 2 as one of the creepiest spots to visit has to be Silithus, which located in the south western corner of Kalimdor. Silithus was once the grand empire of the race known as Aqiri. To us, it is infested with giant swarming insects called silithids and in the middle of the zone is their HUGE main hive – they are buzzing and flying all around it. This brings back every nightmare of bee and wasp stings when I was kid. Don’t forget to visit their pulsating Silithid tunnels all around the zone… those definitely raises the ick factor for me. http://www.wowwiki.com/Silithus
1 -The Number 1 creepiest spot to me has to be the – Apothecarium in the southwest corner of Undercity. This is by far one of the most demented places in WoW. There are twisted parts of bodies hanging on chains from the ceiling, and electrical currents and arcing from the metallic spindles. This place is like Doctor Frankenstein meet Jack Skellington of Nightmare Before Christmas. http://www.wowwiki.com/The_Apothecarium

I agree, those are all really creepy places! Although I must admit that I love Silithus, in addition to the lore surrounding it.
How’s this for creepy? “The Upside-down Sinner’s room” in the crypt beneath Karazhan takes the cake for most horrifying place in WoW. It’s speculated that the whole crypt, with rooms with similarly creative names and contents, was made innaccessible to maintain the game’s age rating! No-one knows what it was going to be for, but suggestions include the fabled mirrored Karazhan or something to do with its location running under the tranquil gardens cemetary in Duskwood.They also say that all ley-lines on Azeroth run beneath Karazhan, the tower of the last guardian…

It’s funny that you mention this! After we recorded Episode 009 with a few guests, we all were talking about the various “unofficial” spots we have all been to, the crypt among them. One of the cast mentioned that the crypt was a part of a “Dark Rider of Deadwind Pass” storyline that was never implemented.
I didn’t know that part about the ley-line…but checking out your link right now!
The plot thickens! And for a bit more info on the speculation, check out the Karazhan section of http://www.wowwiki.com/Crypt.
