I used the map as a foundation for a post-Soviet town I am currently working on.

Never did I feel as if I was being watched or did I feel a cold presence, such as a ghost. It was only in the underground tunnels and train stations did I feel like such a presence, but that died off quickly when I spawned in Father Grigoris (not just because it became alive, but they also looked like cool guards you would see in a dictatorship).

It's either because of how I saw it as a customizable town rather than a haunted liminal space, the fact that I never had any true childhood memories of this map which would have screwed my brain over something being missing (My Gmod experience was limited to just YT as I was never aware of Steams existence as a toddler), the fact that I've become a fan of this kind of post-industrial abandoned style of architecture, or how the whole feeling of getting watched/stalked by some kind of black figure eventually faded away.

While I do not believe the rumours as to this 'map is haunted', I can understand why people would feel a strong sense of eeriness playing this map, considering that it was the childhood home of many DarkRP players. As such, the map would feel wrong, as most would have been used to playing in multiplayer with lots of players, instead of exploring in singleplayer.
