by definition it's a between space, like going from one place to another. in practice it's a space that should have people in it but doesn't. think an empty mall or indoor swimming pool.

the backrooms are probably the most popular example of a liminal space

I think it also has to be a bit off. Like an empty mall, but evety store is a Gap, or an empty swimming pool, but there are no ladders, or exit doors.

Something like that.

No, not really: a liminal space is a space that is in between spaces that we want to use.

Quote Wikipedia:

In architecture, liminal spaces are defined as "the physical spaces between one destination and the next." Common examples of such spaces include hallways, airports, and streets.

But it appears that current speak has changed the word to give it this meaning of eerieness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liminal_space/_(aesthetic)
