The light is fading and your eyes instinctively squint. You stop, and a bone-chilling shiver crawls up your spine. Are you roaming through an old graveyard? Exploring an abandoned tunnel? Getting hopelessly lost in a forest veiled in fog? Perhaps you are wondering how the hell to get out of there. Or … perhaps, though your heart is pounding and your hands are clammy, you plunge deeper into the darkness. We here at Atlas Obscura approach the eerie, the...

Quiosque de São Paulo in Lisbon, Portugal

October 6, 2023

Starting in the late 19th century, and following a trend kicked off in Paris, Lisbon went kiosk crazy. At its peak, the city was home to nearly 70 kiosks, many of which served simple drinks—largely sweet herbal liqueurs and beer. Several of these Art Nouveau-era kiosks remain in Lisbon today, but all but one are owned by the city, who has generally leased them to larger brands that serve a bland repertoire of international drinks and snacks. But Quiosque...

The Loneliest Road in Every State in...

October 6, 2023

Go road-tripping across America with four-time poetry Pulitzer prize winner Robert Frost, and this is what happens: At every fork in the road, he chooses the road less traveled. And so you end up on each state’s loneliest road. Actually, that’s not how this map came about. It owes more to bureaucratic bean-counting than to poetic obstinacy. Telematics specialists at Geotab gathered 2015 data from the U.S. federal government’s Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) to find, for each state,...

As Bifanas do Afonso in Lisbon, Portugal

October 6, 2023

The people of Portugal love a sandwich, and one of the country’s most beloved is the bifana. Taking the form of slices of pork served in a roll, in Lisbon that protein is typically grilled, but somewhat confusingly, the city’s most popular bifana is done in the northern style. You don’t need Google Maps to know if you’ve arrived at As Bifanas do Afonso; look for the perpetual line or simply follow the aroma of porky broth that extends...

Peregrine and the Mermaid in St Dogmaels,...

October 6, 2023

Overlooking the River Teifi in this small Welsh village is a wooden statue of a mermaid commemorating a fisherman’s generosity. The fisherman’s name was Peregrine, and, in late September 1789, he had the good fortune of landing a mermaid in his nets. Overjoyed with his catch, he tied the mermaid up to his boat and set sail for St. Dogmaels, where he planned to come ashore. On the journey home, the beautiful mermaid begged and pleaded with him to...

Casa dos Caracóis in Lisbon, Portugal

October 6, 2023

Per capita, the people of Portugal consume just about as many snails as the French. And Lisbon’s one-stop-shop for all its snail needs is Casa dos Caracóis, literally “House of Snails.” The brand has 11 shops across Portugal, with seven in the greater Lisbon area alone. The capital’s Campolide branch is typical of the brand: spotless and brightly lit, decked out in stainless steel and snail paraphernalia, including prehistoric snail fossils. The shop stocks everything a Portuguese snail consumer...

Covenanter's Grave in Cupar, Scotland

October 6, 2023

From internal battles to foreign incursions, Scotland has seen its fair share of conflicts and disputes. It is perhaps their strained relationship with their neighbors to the south, the English, that has seen the most bloodshed. There is perhaps no better example to showcase man’s barbarity than a period known as the Killing Times. This was a religious war that lasted for roughly 10 years towards the end of the 17th century. An estimated 18,000 Scottish citizens lost their lives...

Why Are There So Many Female Ghosts?

October 6, 2023

If you drive south of San Antonio, Texas on Applewhite Road, past the fire station and the Toyota plant, and pull over just shy of the Medina River, you can walk a few hundred feet through tranquil forest and patchy sunlight to where a small bridge crosses a burbling stream just out of sight of the highway. There, on certain evenings, when the last rays of light cut through deepening shadows, and the sound of the wind has faded...
