Using Google Maps is not compulsory - feel free to use any map source that you want.
Rules:
- There must be something "odd" or interesting about the post.
- Either a link to the oddity, or coordinates copy/pasted in the comments or title is required. Posts that only contain a picture or screenshot will be removed.
- Users must not require special software to access the links (eg Google Earth, which works on Chrome only and requires an app to install on mobile). It should ideally be accessible through a web browser.

Weird house i can't remember
Sometime ago i was scrolling through youtube and found one of those "creepy google maps locations", the video showed a place that was a wood house in the middle of nowhere that for some reason had some creepy stuff inside. The point is, I just can't remember the name of the place or anything about it, all I remember is seeing it in a video. The place had like some things hanging on the roof, some warning signs saying that you should enter at your own risk, and you were able to enter inside it using the street view system. If someone here knows something about it, I would love to know cuz this is stuck in my head for the last 10 months.

Looks like an old fish farm maybe? There's a smaller one to the east. Very limited road access and no remaining buildings at the bigger complex.

What are these terraces deep in the Amazon?
Noticed what appears to be terraced agriculture DEEP in the Amazon. Anyone know exactly what this is? There appears to be an airfield and some other man made ponds nearby, so someone may know?

Why do some places have tiny fragments of street view? I estimate that this one is about 10 m long and the nearest is about 3 km away. (Google has let me down). Happens a lot in Northern Uganda (Link in comment).

I've seen similar posted in here before, but this is the first time in many years of trawling Google Maps that I've found one naturally - and in my home country no less!

Big brick complex north of 84 in Connecticut
I was driving on 84 in Connecticut (I believe). Suddenly, off the highway there appeared a large brick complex. It had a tower, and was clearly Victorian and built between 1870 and 1920. It looked 100% like the prison in Shawshank Redemption. Due to its location, it definitely is not. I’ve been pouring over google maps and I cannot find this complex of buildings. There was barbed wire around the area.
