This means a lot to me because he started off saying, "Sure, you could always do more, but don't forget to give yourself credit for the things you've already done." I've done a lot and I could do more!
“Can you imagine you’re shopping at Walmart and the lights go out …..and you hear some wet footsteps and growling.” You can easily have that experience just by going into Walmart at any time of day and closing your eyes.
The definition of a liminal space is a place of passage (transitory either in time or in action) The in-between of destinations. The reason it's nostalgic is because a lot of transitory spaces are common in a highly commercial society's. airports, malls, outlets, driveways and roads. back in the preindustrial era there was very rarely a liminal space because you can't call the world itself an in-between space it's just being outside but when you add a road that leads to an outlet which contains stores inside a store it becomes very liminal also it's nostalgic because transitory spaces are one of the most relatable spaces in an human experience. we all transition from one place to another it's also known in philosophy as the "non-place" a place with no immediate purpose and what defines a space as a non place is anything that isn't recreational or a destination. so you could say an empty home is liminal but that's because it's empty thus removing the recreation of the living space and hinting at a transitory period in time of someone moving and leaving. Another term one could use in some philosophy is the idea of a space being "homely" which also adds to or detracts to the liminality of a specific space. Liminal spaces aren't inherently nostalgic it's just that it became a niche cultural development in America first which is super commercial thus the liminal spaces have a lot of personality and can be associated with time periods directly such as the 80s 90s and up because the art deco of a liminal space can be determined it adds another layer of the nostalgia, being able to associate directly with the space itself at a specific time you might look back on fondly.
Greg! Bro! Dude! Man! Anybody else here feel like he’s a rare RUclipsr who’s not just watching for ‘content’ but genuinely like’s watching these videos and just happy to have us tagging along?
The McDonald's bathroom tiling is an homage to the Hundertwasser museum in Vienna, a building designed by the artist himself. You may wanna check it out, it's right up your ally when it comes to delibarety weird spaces and buildings✌
When I was in the Army I got to go into a lot of creepy atmospheres in the buildings. Military buildings are just different and if you've been in one then you can fully appreciate what I'm talking about here.
Not military, but I had an internship with a company that made private jets. Something about big, mostly empty hangars with these nice jets in them and no one else in or around them was just spooky enough that I feel comfortable calling it liminal space for sure
I love liminal spaces because, to me, they give the same feeling as that big stretch and sharp inhale you do after you wake up well rested but with stiff muscles. It's like waking up even more comfortable than when you went to sleep.
The apartment at 2:40 looks like it might have been a seniors building. My grandparents lived in a building like that. It has places/lounge areas for them to walk to and be able to sit down and talk to other senior in the building. They actually used them a lot. Yeah younger people like ourselves are not going to use that space. But as you get older and it is harder to leave your house and you have less friends, it's actually a really nice thing.
I honestly the most liminal experience is walking is a clear and quiet winter night. something about the flat expanse if untouched snow. on top of the emptiness that comes with night is something to behold.
Dude you're the ONLY person I've ever seen on RUclips that has content like this where you'll actually call out the obviously fake videos. Like, I love watching creepy videos and everyone else is always taking everything as legitimate. I really appreciate when I'm like, yeah it's fake and you're like, yeah it's fake. It can be fake and still be fun without teaching everyone to blindly accept all of these videos. Anyway, you're the best and your thoughtful content is appreciated.
11:35 I think part of the reason the roundabout looks so liminal is the unusually soft lighting and color tone. It sort of looks like it's a miniature and lit with another lamp overhead outside the frame. Also the world just ending in blackness like others have said.
That roundabout probably feels really liminal because of the lack of vehicles. Typically roundabouts have a lot of vehicles going around them and so that's probably why.
Thank you Greg for another nice liminal space video! 😄I just realized that I probably have a bunch of liminal space photos on my backup hard drive from when I was in my teens. I didn't have a word for it then, but I liked taking eerie pics of abandoned or remote places with weird lighting. I really should dig them up :D
I wish i had a camera and documented my childhood throughout the 90's and teens in the early 2000's. It was such a wonderful unique point in time but it was not easy to capture moments during that time. Even in the early 2000's they were switching to digital but it was awful. It seemed like only richer people were able to have a camera. We definitely have a ton of photos taken with those disposable film cameras but they are mostly my parents taking family photos. Nothing documenting the unique nostalgia places in my memories. I so badly wish i could have photos of those places
What you said about being a skier and snowboarder is hilarious cause I do the same thing lmao 🤣 when I ski I’m like “hehhh snowboarders….. 😒” And then half way through the day and I switch to a snowboard I’m like “haha look at these skiers out here…. Criiinge”
I wouldn't be surprised if the Artist Hundertwasser was involved in that McDonalds... We have a train station that basically looks like that, which he designed. His philosophy is great - with the idea of creating more dynamic and "wild" buildings and infrastructure, trying to make everything seem more grown and natural, like you're walking through caves or a forest rather than a facility. But this train station man, I tell ya, it's so terrible. Everything is too narrow, the floor is so fucking wonky, you can't even properly pull a suitcase over it and once you're wearing high heels or plateau boots or stuff like that, it's just a nightmare...
For me and many other the poolrooms exist independent from the backrooms. Only you in an huge landscape of white tiles and water and a supposed window with natural light
All those of us who have to live with family greatly appreciate having these nice spaces that give us the option to hang out away from the annoyance - ya get me?? A home can get small and cramp when there are three or more of you or when the one other person becomes a overdemanding queen. PLUS when you are an introvert like me - extra space away from others like this is a huge Godsend.
There was a liminal space in my high school. It was the chemistry hallway. It was at the very back of the school and required you to take a strange path to get there. It was weird because it looked like it was added onto the school waaaaay after it was first built. The architecture looked random, and for the first 2 or 3 weeks of school, nobody would go there. It was always completely silent, except for an old broken alarm in a room off to the side that was constantly beeping. It made going in there feel illeagle, even though it was perfectly fine to enter. Of course, more people would find out. And that did include the scary amount of hallway couples that were in my school, but they typically had zero situational awareness so you could just walk right by.
That pool room looking playground was real footage. CG water has a few dead giveaways (at least short of ILM standards) and I am extremely confident that water is not CG.
I feel like living in US makes it a lot easier to create liminal content. In Japan, Europe it is pretty difficult in comparison. I guess, there are some empty places like schools in Japan and so on. And here in Europe mostly places that elder visit. However I am mshocked how alive our malls are compared to the US or other places that are empty in US like kid playgrounds. Kinda makes me proud not to live in the US, but a place where people still enjoy outside time and the moments with others.
Actually the austrian McDonalds highway thing is a special building designed by artist friedensreich Hundertwasser, I stop there sometimes on the drive out from vienna. I think it's more cool than liminal, the guy just was agressively against flat floors and straight lines, so everything is kinda curved, full of mosaics and plants. Love his architecture. There are a bunch more buildings like this, a church, a house in vienna and a spa!
Bruh the fact that dude was wandering around empty North Korean hotel floors is such a dumb move, idk how youd even begin to research staying there without hearing about Otto's case.
For 2 days in our small city the electricity went out and for those 2 days the whole city was empty and Dark realy dark. No cars driving around no way of going out of the city becose of broken electricity lines fell down blocking the Road all the shops dark and empty...
2:25 to answer your question on why people make these, it's an old people home. They are very common in the netherlands with those specific hangout area's. They make them so that the people living there can keep each other company and not feel lonely since a lot of the people living there are alone. Ps: sorry for the bad english
The roundabout one, I think, is weird because it looks like the world just ends there. There's not even any distant lights of other towns or stars in the sky
Man, I love these videos so much, not for any topic in particular but because it feels just like hanging out with your buddy while he makes entertaining observations about random stuff. A+ pristine vibes no matter what your sign says.
I used to snowboard on a competition team and I miss it so much! (I skied too but snowboarding’s way more fun) That low-res picture of the mountain takes me back, looking at it literally feels like I’m back there on the mountain as dusk falls 🥰 I miss it
i think you're genuinely my favorite youtuber you feel so genuine, you're not just another "HEY GUYS WATCH ME FAKE A BUNCH OF REACTIONS SO I CAN GET MY PAYCHECK" youtuber
The mall roasting is hilarious, that's how I feel too 😂 there's like a couple places at the mall I like and I go there, shop and leave. My friend is always bumming about malls closing and not being as popular anymore and I always laugh and tell her that it was literally just a fad because there was nothing to do in high school except go to the mall, or do things your parents wouldn't like. It's silly because the only oart of her that needs malls to stay open, is her childhood nostalgia. If something is failing financially, it can't just stay open for people's 80's/90s mall rat nostalgia. We're adults now who don't have time to hang at the mall and never will again, and kids these days have a thousand hobbies to do besides mall or movies or a picnic at the park or some mundane BS. Plus you have to have money or you're just at the mall watching other people eat and shop, so it's too expensive of a passtime now. People just want to get their shopping done, preferably online, so they can go do actual fun things.
I laughed at the Atlanta airport one. My dad was in commercial construction and was one of the architects who worked on the airport in the 90’s. They were expanding and getting ready for the Olympics.
Hi Greg! Looking forward to your Liminal Space Project (Space Program?) I did have a good time! the video at 5:18 reminds me of the Case of Otto Warmbier , look him up on Wikipedia, very sad story.
I find the eeriest spaces can be corporate, particularly empty (modern) conference centres. They're peculiarly soulless to start with. I really you should look at British prehistory for liminality, although with a slightly different meaning. It seems to have been very important for our ancient peoples. They believed that the spirit world was nearest at boundaries. (I think 'limen' is the Latin for 'boundary') Our ancient megalithic monuments ( often dating back as far as 3000 BC) are often on ancient boundaries. (Our boundaries, such as the boundaries of our countryside parishes, often date back a very long time indeed.) A good example is a stone circle called the Rollright Stones in the Cotswold Hills. Not only are they on a parish boundary, but it's still on a county boundary, between Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. In Britain, Ireland, and Denmark, we have discovered the "bog men", mummified bodies found in peat bogs. They often seem to have been executed in prehistoric times; in Ireland often near ancient boundaries. But it is also thought that they were deliberately put in neither solid ground nor water, but in a swamp, neither one nor the other. 'Seahenge', a wooden circle found on the Norfolk coast recently, is on a beach, neither on land or in the sea. Hallowe'en might be explained this way. It is the ancient festival of Samhainn (pronounced 'Sow-en'). It is on the border of summer and winter, when the spirits were therefore nearer than usual.
The hotel floor thing reminds me of my previous job. The service elevator had a floor labeled ‘M’ and sometimes people would forget that it’s for “maintenance” not “main.” You would press it thinking you were getting the main lobby, and the doors would open to literally a pitch black hallway full of random stuff. Best part? The elevator broke so sometimes the doors wouldn’t shut for some time, so you’d be stuck facing the completely dark hallway, usually all by yourself. Genuine nightmare fuel
Okay this is absolutely insane, I was watching this vid with my mom because we were bored and we got to the part about The Square and she FREAKS out being like “i know that place” describes the location in detail and when she went, and i found the og post and sure enough she was right. super weird and kinda scary cuz it was from a school trip of hers 😭
came to get spooked and have a good time but all this is doing for my broke ass is making me wonder if I can live there rent free... all my stuff probably would only use 1/10th of all that space, it's crazy :O
idk if you are looking at these comments now that the video is out for a while, but you should play ark survival ascended ( its ocean is pretty scary and well done)
That hotel @7:50 looks like the Burnsville (MN) Fanta Suite. I could be wrong but that place is shut down and looks just like these pictures. Always wanted to stay there when it was open despite the bad reputation.
The mall at the very beginning seems (and correct me if I'm wrong) to be from Kane Pixel's newest horror series. If you like spooky content set in liminal spaces (that's not backrooms related at all) here is the playlist for that horror series - ruclips.net/p/PLVAh-MgDVqvAwoFF5hJmtRrx86Yw-pdN1&si=ITac-hO8QJqSk1w_ Great video
as a resident of Atlanta and frequent user of Hartsfield Jackson airport, these photos don't do this place justice. if you land at this airport at like 3am, its almost guaranteed that you're flight is the only one de boarding and if you use the restroom and let the people from your flight get to the baggage claim first, You'll have to navigate the huge web of a maze by yourself and half the lights are turned off and theres a bunch of random unmarked doors everywhere. As long as you follow the signs to baggage claim, though, you won't get lost.
My right thumb is bigger than my left, it's odd how happy it made me when you as one of my favorite youtubers showed you had the same thing 😂 (It's called bilateral brachydactyly type D)
Imagine you and your child go to that indoor playground and you watch your kid have fun and stuff. And then you watch them trip as their head gets stabbed by one of the rhinos. Maybe yoir child tripped so hard that it rips a part off or he gets stuck on it and you can hear his neck breaking by the sudden stop while his lower half still falls. Or if your child is already a bit taller and tries to catch himself on the rhinos back but the pointy end cut open the kids throat. Nothing you can do other than scream for help as you watch your childs live slowly leave their eyes as they're gurgling and spitting up blood trying to breathe. I swear I'm not a psychopath this is just the first thing i thought when i saw the rhinos. What a safety Hazzard lol
Fun hotel ones probably a Asian love hotel they do themed rooms like that allot if you stayed with friends the staff would definitely stare at you and the smells noises would make sleeping awquard lol😂 But yes an actual fun themed hotel would be a fun surprise even if the Booker would get preview shots.
Oh shit, you want eerie, it looks like RUclips is using voice recognition to determine when a creator says the word Subscribe, and it lights up the button now.
The weirdest part about that water playground and indoor playground is that there isn't enough natural light getting in. Looks like there's no windows at all.
This means a lot to me because he started off saying, "Sure, you could always do more, but don't forget to give yourself credit for the things you've already done." I've done a lot and I could do more!
I read that as it was playing

Liminal space is amazing a transient feeling of nostalgia which makes you settled and unsettled at the same time.

The apartment at 2:40 looks like it might have been a seniors building. My grandparents lived in a building like that.

Yeah younger people like ourselves are not going to use that space. But as you get older and it is harder to leave your house and you have less friends, it's actually a really nice thing.
Yes my aunt lives in one just like it. These kind of interieurs are verry common in elder people homes of the netherlands
I used to have a really weird obsession with mike tyson’s mansion and for some reason 13 year old me believed it was peak architecture and design
I remember seeing the video of his empty mansion years ago. I'm sure when it had furniture in it, it was comfortable

I honestly the most liminal experience is walking is a clear and quiet winter night. something about the flat expanse if untouched snow. on top of the emptiness that comes with night is something to behold.

11:35 I think part of the reason the roundabout looks so liminal is the unusually soft lighting and color tone. It sort of looks like it's a miniature and lit with another lamp overhead outside the frame. Also the world just ending in blackness like others have said.
Oh shoot I’m the first one here. Hi Greg! I think you’re really cool!!
Hi! Thank you, you too!

I love how the flash makes pictures even liminaler
Five seconds in and already earned a like on the video. Gosh darn it, this is a good content creator 👏
His liminal space videos are my favorite ❤

see what I did there?
11:41 I think it's the pitch black background that does it. You can hardly see anything behind the house.
sup big man, love the vids 👊
This is a great video, it makes me wonder if one where you read some creepy stories would be fun haha
I already know this video is gonna be good!!!

I really you should look at British prehistory for liminality, although with a slightly different meaning. It seems to have been very important for our ancient peoples. They believed that the spirit world was nearest at boundaries. (I think 'limen' is the Latin for 'boundary')
Our ancient megalithic monuments ( often dating back as far as 3000 BC) are often on ancient boundaries. (Our boundaries, such as the boundaries of our countryside parishes, often date back a very long time indeed.)
A good example is a stone circle called the Rollright Stones in the Cotswold Hills. Not only are they on a parish boundary, but it's still on a county boundary, between Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.
In Britain, Ireland, and Denmark, we have discovered the "bog men", mummified bodies found in peat bogs. They often seem to have been executed in prehistoric times; in Ireland often near ancient boundaries. But it is also thought that they were deliberately put in neither solid ground nor water, but in a swamp, neither one nor the other.
'Seahenge', a wooden circle found on the Norfolk coast recently, is on a beach, neither on land or in the sea.
Hallowe'en might be explained this way. It is the ancient festival of Samhainn (pronounced 'Sow-en'). It is on the border of summer and winter, when the spirits were therefore nearer than usual.
That first pic of the indoor playground, with the single ballpit ball and the oversized man running sign DEFINITELY hit that liminal space feeling
The hotel floor thing reminds me of my previous job. The service elevator had a floor labeled ‘M’ and sometimes people would forget that it’s for “maintenance” not “main.” You would press it thinking you were getting the main lobby, and the doors would open to literally a pitch black hallway full of random stuff. Best part? The elevator broke so sometimes the doors wouldn’t shut for some time, so you’d be stuck facing the completely dark hallway, usually all by yourself. Genuine nightmare fuel
OHHHH THATS WHAT YOUR NEON LIGHTS SAID-
I kept wondering why it’s “Back Vibration” ☠️
Okay this is absolutely insane, I was watching this vid with my mom because we were bored and we got to the part about The Square and she FREAKS out being like “i know that place” describes the location in detail and when she went, and i found the og post and sure enough she was right. super weird and kinda scary cuz it was from a school trip of hers 😭
came to get spooked and have a good time but all this is doing for my broke ass is making me wonder if I can live there rent free... all my stuff probably would only use 1/10th of all that space, it's crazy :O
idk if you are looking at these comments now that the video is out for a while, but you should play ark survival ascended ( its ocean is pretty scary and well done)
That hotel @7:50 looks like the Burnsville (MN) Fanta Suite. I could be wrong but that place is shut down and looks just like these pictures. Always wanted to stay there when it was open despite the bad reputation.
The mall at the very beginning seems (and correct me if I'm wrong) to be from Kane Pixel's newest horror series. If you like spooky content set in liminal spaces (that's not backrooms related at all) here is the playlist for that horror series - ruclips.net/p/PLVAh-MgDVqvAwoFF5hJmtRrx86Yw-pdN1&si=ITac-hO8QJqSk1w_
Great video
as a resident of Atlanta and frequent user of Hartsfield Jackson airport, these photos don't do this place justice. if you land at this airport at like 3am, its almost guaranteed that you're flight is the only one de boarding and if you use the restroom and let the people from your flight get to the baggage claim first, You'll have to navigate the huge web of a maze by yourself and half the lights are turned off and theres a bunch of random unmarked doors everywhere. As long as you follow the signs to baggage claim, though, you won't get lost.
9:52 THAT'S LEO'S LEKELAND (lekeland means playland) I USED TO LOVE IT AS A CHILD OMG
My right thumb is bigger than my left, it's odd how happy it made me when you as one of my favorite youtubers showed you had the same thing 😂 (It's called bilateral brachydactyly type D)
Imagine you and your child go to that indoor playground and you watch your kid have fun and stuff. And then you watch them trip as their head gets stabbed by one of the rhinos. Maybe yoir child tripped so hard that it rips a part off or he gets stuck on it and you can hear his neck breaking by the sudden stop while his lower half still falls. Or if your child is already a bit taller and tries to catch himself on the rhinos back but the pointy end cut open the kids throat. Nothing you can do other than scream for help as you watch your childs live slowly leave their eyes as they're gurgling and spitting up blood trying to breathe.
I swear I'm not a psychopath this is just the first thing i thought when i saw the rhinos. What a safety Hazzard lol
Fun hotel ones probably a Asian love hotel they do themed rooms like that allot if you stayed with friends the staff would definitely stare at you and the smells noises would make sleeping awquard lol😂
But yes an actual fun themed hotel would be a fun surprise even if the Booker would get preview shots.
Yo new video epic fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗿🗿🗿
Happy bday mr. Greg le dude man, I don't know if we're already the 23 where you live but here goes !
Oh shit, you want eerie, it looks like RUclips is using voice recognition to determine when a creator says the word Subscribe, and it lights up the button now.
5:51 that’s not balls… that’s stupid
greg: the BIGGEST one you have
liminal space existing:
11:26 Didn't quite catch that. You WANT us to put you there? I got you bro!
11:35 i think for me what makes it liminal is the number of signs telling you how to do things, but no ones there to follow them
The weirdest part about that water playground and indoor playground is that there isn't enough natural light getting in. Looks like there's no windows at all.
