| Main street, early afternoon on Monday. |
THERE WAS NO PEOPLE IN LUBBOCK.
We arrived in Lubbock some time in the afternoon, and soon headed out to the city to find some dinner. It soon became clear that there was something seriously wrong with Lubbock.

| IN STERILIZED BOTTLES! ;-D |
We walked through the whole downtown area, but didn't see anybody. All the shops, bars, and restaurants were closed, even it was a weekday and early afternoon. All the cars you can see in the photos, were parked. Wikipedia told us there should have been around 270,000 people living in Lubbock, but we didn't see any of them. There's no better way to tell you how it felt - it was EERIE.
While we were walking, we started speculating why was it that there was no people...
- it was a Transvestite Monday, and all the people of Lubbock were underground celebrating it (we saw at least 3 wig shops in the city, and "Transvestite Monday" was pretty catchy expression)
- some terrible virus had killed/mutilated everyone
- there was an insane sniper (or some other killer) loose in the city
- there was something supernatural going on, and next we would see a black Chevy Impala parked somewhere
- there was a human sacrificing cult in Lubbock, and if you went out after 4PM, you got tortured/sacrificed
- there was only ONE bar open somewhere, and everyone would be there

| No need to worry about getting ran over by a car! |

| Our motel - just as creepy as everything else in Lubbock. |

| Fully expected running into Sam or Dean at the vending machines... |
...well, I obviously survived to tell a story of my scary night, and in the end we actually did solve the Curious Case of Lubbock, TX. I'm not going to tell you what was wrong with this weird city (go there and see yourself, I dare you!) but... not going back there, never-ever again! :-S
yours truly-

Oh my... That would be the perfect inspiration to write a horror novel, wouldn't it? I mean... the pictures are simply wonderful. As much as I love my horror and scaring the pants off myself, I do think this town would have scared me a little too. I do, however, LOVE reading the suggestions you all came up with for why the town was empty!
I hope, one day, I do make it to Lubbock, TX, to find out for myself why it is so empty!
huuu, vaikuttipa tosiaan aika spookilta paikalta, luultavasti en uskaltautuisi tuonne, ainakaan yksin.. Onneksi selviydyitte ehjin nahoin sieltä pois :)
