Exits that give off creepy vibes

[Rothman]

There's the bow-tie exit between US 9 and the Mid-Hudson Bridge in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Why is that creepy?

I don't recall the numbers or locations, but some of the more rural I-95 exits in Georgia and South Carolina could qualify in my view.  Many exits have a few modern gas stations, truck stops and fast food places, but some seem to have just one or a few older, run-down gas stations with or without a convenience store.  Especially for overnight travel, we make some efforts to avoid those and go to the exits with at least a couple of larger stations and a few all-night fast food places.

That sounds completely normal to me.

I actually prefer that.

Becoming less common over the years along the I-95 corridor.  Many exits now have one or more big TA, Love's, Pilot, etc. and a selection of new fast-food places.

That may be, but I'm used to exits like this.

That one looks perfectly nice and uncreepy to me.  The ones I'm thinking of in the southeast have a whole different look and feel.  Especially for a 3 AM gas stop.

WB I-94 Exit 210B in Detroit has given me bad vibes since I was a wee lad. Before I-96 was finished, this was the way home from downtown to the west side suburbs I grew up in.  Up a short ramp, right turn onto a well-worn Addison Street (see Google Maps image), then left on McGraw for a couple of blocks to actually get to M-153 (Ford Road).

I-26 Exit 187 in SC feels off. Been to a gas station over there and it just overall looked old, also, the road for the exit doesn't really go anywhere besides a much smaller town a little off the way.

A couple ones on 75 in North Georgia too, especially during the rain.

I-10 Exit 3 onto Summit Road in New Mexico which leads to the Steins.  The underpass is a weird single lane and there was a whole murder story with the ghost town site owner.

Conversely, Exit 390 in AZ onto Cavot Rd appears to go absolutely nowhere inside of desolate nowhere, so it just feels eerie.

NOT a freeway... just nothing

Have Gateways to Hell popped up in all 50 states yet?  And do they have barbecue-flavored potato chips?  For some reason, I've always associated the scent and flavor of barbecue potato chips with the ambience of Hell.  But I could be wrong.

I tend to associate it with stale cigarette smoke and loud carpet, myself.

That reminds me of the time a few years ago where I was driving through eastern Georgia on I-16 at night. We stopped at one old gas station that was pretty much the only thing at its exit (don't remember exactly where). It had a men's restroom with a window to the outside on the opposite wall as 3-4 urinals. Not a frosted glass window, but a clear window that spanned the length of the restroom. When I was in there, I assumed it was one-way glass...nope. Any random person of normal height standing in the parking lot could easily look in and watch dudes take their piss from behind. Perhaps the strangest restroom setup I have ever seen.

I can see this being scary at night.

I've been told that Exit 347 off I-70 in Kansas is one of the Gateways to Hell, but I don't know where to find it once you get off the freeway.

The cemetery in Stull is supposed to be a "portal to hell". The church in the pictures in this link was removed in 2002. I drove by there once, but couldn't really see anything. They say the locals act really weird about it and if you stop it won't be long until somebody comes along and harasses you. The way the locals act is weirder than the "portal to hell" to me.

So I am now very curious.  I didn't know there were multiple gateways to hell.
