Creeptique Store

This multi-story antique mall in downtown Riverside, California, feels like stepping into a living time capsule—packed with vintage treasures, curios, and relics of the past. But beyond the dusty shelves and creaking wooden floors, some visitors and online posts whisper about an eerie presence among the aisles. According to local chatter and paranormal explorers, people have felt sudden chills, seen unexplained shadows, or sensed something watching from the corners where old dolls and forgotten heirlooms sit. There is a story about the elevator, where a construction worker was sadly decapitated when peering into the elevator shaft, unaware that the elevator was descending. While no official hauntings are confirmed, that mix of history-soaked atmosphere and aged artifacts gives the place a slightly uncanny energy that keeps ghost story fans intrigued as they browse the curios from long ago. These were some of our finds, from our recent visit.
