I can’t believe Skidmore, Missouri hasn’t been mentioned. I’ve been through there, very odd feeling traveling through. Look up the history of Skidmore, definitely strange stuff happening in a town with less than 300 people.

YES! This!

I was passing through Missouri a couple of years ago and pulled into Skidmore after driving for the past couple of hours. I decided to stop and get out so I could stretch my legs, and I just felt like I wasn't welcomed there. It was so uncomfortable and awkward. The town was mostly dead, I certainly didn't see any other cars on the road and the few people I saw just stared me down as if they didn't want me there.

One older guy was walking by so I said hi and waved, he just snarled at me and gave me this very unfriendly look and kept on walking by without ever saying a word. I noticed across the street was this lady who was just standing there staring directly at me. I gave a friendly wave and nothing, she just continued standing there staring me down. To this day I still can see her face in my mind... completely emotionless, nothing... just this blank stare. Definitely nothing friendly about it. I've never been in a town where I felt so unwelcome.

I quickly got back into my car and left. I got to Maryville which is just slightly to the northeast of Skidmore and ended up stopping to get gas there. While at the gas station I got to chatting with the cashier and I mentioned my experience passing through Skidmore and she was telling me that the locals in the area tend to avoid Skidmore and that the people there are not friendly at all. She said if she has to pass that way she purposely goes out of her way to bypass Skidmore to avoid actually having to drive through there.

She told me of a guy who worked a different shift at the gas station that pass through Skidmore and said a resident there began throwing bottles at his vehicle so he sped off and got the hell out of there.

Until that day I had never even heard of Skidmore, so that night after I settled in for the night at the hotel I stayed at I did a Google search on Skidmore, MO and I was shocked about the dark history surrounding that town.

So much dark, strange history... given that combined with the fact there's literally nothing to do there it was no wonder why people are so strange there.
