Creepy Abandoned Swimming Pools
Somehow with it being Halloween one of my friends brought up the subject of unused or abandoned pools being weird or creepy; this was a concept I had never thought about before. So I decided to check it out and here is some stuff I found around the web.
Mosquitoes

Swarms of Mosquitoes Rise from abandoned pools at foreclosed homes
“Aside from their annoying bites, mosquitoes carry West Nile virus and other diseases. With the number of foreclosures rising, it's becoming a more-important challenge to track down abandoned homes with pools from suburban Washington, D.C., to California.”
Mold & Mildew
Creepiness Factor: Sludge & Grime
Abandoned Pools
“Obsolete pools are odd architectural spaces. Freshly drained, a kind of expectancy still hovers around the gleaming cavern. Then the mold sets in. Over time the space becomes a botanical experiment gone horribly wrong, a repository for the discarded, or a bleached canvas for local taggers.”

I have to say this is probably the creepiest picture I have seen so far.
