Architecture is supposed to look and feel safe, but some buildings actually have personalities—evil ones. The subreddit group Evil Buildings collects buildings that could be the home to a supervillain or an evil corporation.
These buildings are not owned by an evil spirit or anything (as far as we know), but their overall look, in some specific atmospheres, can actually unsettle your soul. Is it weird that lots of them are hotels?
