Places you have visited with a strange vibe

I really didn't like New Orleans.

The Fens. Long straight black stretches of water that seem to go on forever, I can't bare to drive on the roads alongside them. I thought the whole area had such a strange threatening atmosphere and was so flat and creepy, I can't even bare to look at photos of the area now!

NeedWineNow like your mother, piers give me the horrors. The gaps through the boards..

[quote BumCat]@TellmewhoIam you might find the book ‘The Covent Garden Ladies’ by Hallie Rubenhold an interesting read.[/quote]
Thanks @BumCat! I didn't know that author.

Cuba! Absolutely loved it but our group (3 females) had men openly w**king over us, in groups or lines, in broad daylight... on 3 separate occasions.

Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. I went on a 'ghost tour' there a few years ago. The tour itself wasn't scary at all. It was more historical, and in the Kirkyard itself they got someone to jump out at us for a cheap scare.

By the time we were leaving the Kirkyard I was chatting to someone else on the tour and had forgotten all about ghosts, including the alleged inhabitant of the Kirkyard, the MacKenzie poltergeist. Just as we reached the gate I stepped into an area of cold. It was like being hit by a freezing wind, but the weird thing was that it was cold inside, not outside. The evening was warm.

We went to the pub and things moved on. After a few drinks I went back to my hotel, where I was staying by myself. I went to sleep.

Then I woke up with a strong sensation of something being in the room.

It was such a powerful sensation that my heart was beating like mad. I even thought about going down to reception to tell them something was up. But of course I didn't.

I've never experienced anything like that before or since.

Later on, reading up on the MacKenzie Poltergeist, I've read stories of other people walking through cold spots, having a sensation of being watched and even finding deep scratches on their skin.

Baconsthorpe castle, in norfolk and the village!

Cannock chase , you cross the road over to a military bit soon as we were on the path we had to turn round.

A part of Dudley castle

And strangely hale village in Halton

Alice Springs. Can't put my finger on specifics but it felt desolate and I was uneasy.

Gosh loads!!

Gozo, not bad, but very spiritual and special feeling. One church in particular had a strong pull ive not felt before.

The ruins left in the mountains on Kefalonia after the earthquake, where homes have been abandoned.

The old villages in the mountains near Aquila in Italy super woo feeling around the old in the wall burial sights.

Seeing the no man’s land area of northern Cyprus.

Portmeirion had weird vibes, but I put that down to recollections of watching “The Prisoner” on tv at a young age!
Croydon always gives me the Heebie-jeebies - always feel like I’ve grown two heads when I’ve had to visit in the past because people stare so much!

Jamaica Inn in the 80's. Heard whistling in corridor all night so kept light and TV on!
Boldon Collier, Tyneside. 1986. Stayed in a terraced 'pit' house while then BF studying. Gas cooker taps kept turning on by themselves. Spare bedroom had a malevolent atmosphere. Thought no more about it until BF told me his mum said not to tell me how a glass started spinning & smashed against a wall!
Red Lion pub in Colchester. Solo weekend 1983. Very nice staff cosseted me & advised not to explore alone. On leaving they said it was haunted and staff had bad experiences.
Hellfire Caves, went as a child, guide just had a torch, no problem. Returned as adult, modern lighting/ sound system. Could not enter, had very bad feeling.

I thought he wanted to make Oxford his capital and that was why it wasn't heavily bombed during WW2.

I had another look online and it looks like I got it slightly confused: that Hitler had wanted Bridgnorth as his personal HQ and not as a capital. Not sure why he would have wanted to live nowhere near the capital, though, assuming he still expected to be the leader?!

Trago Mills, Newton Abbot. Very strange place. The whole family weirded out by it

After seeing that episode of Mock The Week where they discussed it, I can only ever think of Trago Mills as being a Bond villain now - maybe there's more to it than just the name?!

Leaving obvious long-ago historical events behind, wasn't Glencoe one of Jimmy Savile's regular 'haunting grounds'. I don't know if there was any truth in or evidence of it, but there were reports that he was regularly involved in sinister Satanic ceremonies and the like. Even if none of that angle is remotely true, goodness knows what other evil he might have got up to in the area - who knows if some of that has still lingered?

Sundown in Lincolnshire. Rundown, more like. Creepy and disjointed.
Canterbury
Plymouth town centre
Newquay
Most of Kent
Ronda in Spain

Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

I viewed a house last year that made me feel like there were wall to wall ghosts. The second I walked in I got a thudding headache and felt like something was crushing me.
Stayed 5 minutes and bolted

Ranmore Common in Surrey. Absolutely stunningly beautiful with phenomenal views but holy crap, it’s creepy.

Hartland, Devon, weird feel to the place, although I was suffering with morning sickness so that probably contributed to my uneasiness.

Manorbier, Wales, beautiful beach, but house we stayed in had a really cold feeling about it.

Trago Mills, Newton Abbot. Very strange place. The whole family weirded out by it 😂

Not a place , a house we viewed in Norwich. It backed in to a church graveyard and although I felt fine about it initially my DH could not wait to get out of there. He said it was chilling. It had a huge pentagon painted on to one of the bedroom walls so once we saw that it was off the list!

I used to have to drive through Europe at work and was in Germany and stayed overnight in this really weird teddy bear hotel in a place called Bergen. It was truly odd and I felt unsettled the whole time. Got home and told dh and he said Bergen was actually Bergen Belsen and was where the concentration camp was.

We stayed in a haunted house. Very old cottage in northern France part of a chateau was the old counting house. No weird feeling but at night there was massive banging and crashing in the kitchen. When we went down nothing there. We heard nails scraping on the outside of our top floor bedroom window. Dh scoffed at anything woo but as we drove away admitted there was no explanation for the weirdness.

Esperence, Australia - beautiful beach but down and out centre

Glastonbury - even though it is on the world stage because of its festival, it is a weird place full of witchcraft and wizardry.
