eeriest
Maximally spine-tingling superlative
Eeriest is the superlative form of eerie—the most strange and unsettling.
Something eeriest among a group inspires the greatest sense of uncanny dread: The eeriest part of the abandoned hospital was the children's ward, where toys still sat on shelves.
Of all the sounds in the forest, the owl's cry was the eeriest.
