The World’s 25 Creepiest Abandoned Military Bases Will Give You The Willies

18. Fort Tilden: Breezy Point, New York

South of Brooklyn, on a fortified peninsula, one of many coastal U.S. military installations clings to the past on strange concrete platforms and structures. At one time, the United States kept anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missile systems in Fort Tilden, just in case. Today, the fort is long abandoned and the land designated as a national park.

17. Shivering Sands Maunsell Army Fort: England

Like some sort of crude, stationary At-At Walker from the Star Wars universe, the Shivering Sands Army Base rises from the water; buildings perched on four legs each. They seem like they could walk.

These structures could make a good place to film a dystopian movie about a world covered in water.
