St. Paul’s Hospital wasn’t the only hospital to be crowned on the creepy list. Riverview Hospital also made the list.

Riverview Hospital was a psychiatric institution that was officially closed in 2012. It had come under fire due to the way some patients were mistreated, including the use of non-consensual sterilization.

People online shared how the location is a popular spot for shooting scary scenes, with one user saying that the place doesn’t need any help from set designers as “you get a lot of bad vibes in that place for free.”

Columbia SkyTrain station

It turns out crowded places of SkyTrain stations also put Vancouverites on edge. The Columbia SkyTrain station in New Westminster was not a popular spot among commuters, with one user sharing how they avoid the station in its entirety.
