Definition of "eerie":
1. Inspiring inexplicable fear, dread, or uneasiness; strange and frightening.
2. Suggestive of the supernatural; mysterious.

Hopefully the definition given above is enough to go on for everyone, what we're aiming for is simply photos that elicit a sense of uneasiness, mystery, strangeness, etc. Contrasty black & white photos seem to work very well for these kinds of compositions but it's not at all a requirement for entry in C169... it's just a suggestion ;).
