Eerily is how you turn into an adverb: in a strange, slightly way. The phrases you will meet again and again are “eerily quiet” (so quiet it feels wrong) and “eerily similar” or “eerily familiar” (so alike, or so known, that it makes you uncomfortable). Though actually, in “eerily similar” the fear is thinner — it is less ghosts, more “this is too close to be chance.” The word still belongs to description and stories more than to office English.

- Within a short time, the area became overcrowded with visiting kinksters and the original dungeons were torn down, replaced by resplendent palaces of kinkiness that soared into the sky.

My brother Merle used to love going out there years ago, to frequent the smaller and older casinos. He became furious when developers tore them down to build newer and bigger ones.
