What was the most creepiest part of the movie for you?
For me it was the end when Mary was chased out on to the lake bed by the Souls and to see Mary's foot print in the sand suddenly stop and that shot of her hand print.

I think everything at the park was really creepy, it's so lonely and quiet. But the scariest moment is when she steps on the bus and you seen those ghosts. The thing that makes that moment so good is the extras are amatuers so theres a little something off about them. Also, off topic, the reverend was a prick.

I'm watching it right now on my local PBS station(can't sleep).
I first saw this 36 years ago when I was 10 and it scared the hell out of me.
The part where she trips and those ghouls start to come up on her. -

The first appearance of The Man creeped me out more than anything, for sureI had trouble looking out the window or in mirrors for a few nights after watching it for the first time, because I was kinda afraid I'd see his face leering back at me.

Definitely her neghbor Mr. Linden
How 'bout the part where she walks out of the water 3 hours after the accident?
I liked the parts where she couldn't communicate with anyone and all you could hear were her shoes clicking on the sidewalk.
Saltair from a distance on the night road, when you weren't really sure what it was.

When she first emerges from the water and has the confused forlorn look of someone lost and hopeless.

The third time the man appeared it made me jump.
She just got to her room puts down her suitcase and he is staring at her from outiside of the house (or motel) and to make things scary she is on the second floor so he is like floating. -

er, for me it would be her neighbor in the boarding house, followed by the vicar of the church and then by her landlady. after would come the police, and the fellow racers. the real people in this film are sketchy!!

Man I LOVE this movie! There are too many scary parts to list. I agree with all the ones you guys listed.
It's too bad they don't make authentically scary movies like this any more. People nowadays have to resort to excessive special FX and gore. When all you need is a truly frightening premise.
Another part I dont think I saw mentioned was when the sheriff and everyone was looking for her and all they could find were her footprints that stop in the middle of the sand. CREEPY!
You've all inspired me to re-watch the DVD (for about the 50th time!)

Well, at the beginning with the face in the car windowthat was like "umyeah, why did this get a 7.1 rating again?" But as it continued, holy crap did it get freaky! I'd have to say the creepiest part(s) would be
the dancing part, with that zombie-esque looking lady (was that the main character?) kind of rolling her head two and fro.
the part where she sees the zombie-esque guy downstairs and the door shakes like he's trying to get in. Totally reminded me of, like, the only freaky part in The Shining (in the novel that is).
and the whole zombie-esque people on the bus. You totally knew when the only thing you heard was the loudspeaker talking in the bus station that that's where they were hiding. I practically yelled at the TV trying to tell her not to go on there.
EDIT
oh yeah, I forgot!! The part where she visits the carnival the first time, and she tosses the rock into the water and then it switches to the guy laying under water! Freaky!
Oh yeah, and the PriestFatherchurch leader and her neighbor were so freaky!
