Places you have visited with a strange vibe

My dad used to walk the dogs up there on his own in the dark!

Fatima, the religious shrine, here in Portugal. It's not far from me but I've only visited once - freaked me out with the thousands of body part candles (lungs/breasts, etc) I presume you are supposed to burn if you are afflicted in that area. Also the solitary guy crawling towards the church on his knees. Ugh.

Preston manor brighton.

We got lost in Florida on the way to an airboat ride and went through a scrubland type area and past a "house" - shack - with 3 men sitting on a porch, each with shotguns across their knee.

They were still there 20 min later when we approached from the opposite direction... .

Probably not the same thing but when I went to New York, we went to the memorial at ground zero, was a very weird feeling and very emotional knowing what had happened there, yet there were tourists taking selfies with all the names on the memorial wall, maybe that was it, not sure

Yep, first time in the US, we rented a villa.
It was late of an evening. DH put the address into the Satnav wrong (I've since learned this is will happen on the arrival night on every holiday!)
He says, fuck. I think I've got the address wrong. Still says several minutes on the satnav.
He slings the car into reverse, and reverses up someone's drive. I'm like, dude. What are you doing? You wouldn't use someone's drive to reverse at home.

Then the Satnavs telling us we've reached our destination.

When we went in the lights were all on and for the entire duration the security alarm kept telling us windows were open, I checked, and checked and checked again.

Last time we went He drove out to show his parents where we first stayed, about 10 minutes from where they stayed when he was a kid.
Felt so uneasy there.

The creepiest place I’ve ever visit was “Bedgellert” sp ? - in Wales. Had the most oppressive feel to it couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Littlecote House in Wiltshire.

Walking around it makes you feel like someone that hates you has there face an inch from yours. Even the gardens feel like that until you get a fair distance from the house.

This is obvious but the Somme. We just drove through the area and I felt like time had slowed down, everything felt heavy, almost like being underwater. Even the dc were quiet. It was so odd.

Although their torture equipment display made Tower of London look really tame! Horrifying but fascinating at the same time.

We went about 7 years ago, never forgotten the place, truly bizarre.

A road near to where I grew up, full of big old houses, from a very small child I hated to walk down it and dreamt the most weird and scary dreams of it.
Years later , My Nan who grew up in the area too, said she had never liked walking down this road. As it made her feel 'bad,'

Tyne mouth on the north east coast used to give me really creepy vibes when we stayed there as kids.
Havant also gives me horrible vibes. The town centre is really unpleasant and feels unfriendly and unwelcoming

Saltburn is haunted by the ghosts of all the surfers who drown... Don't go in the water!

The museum at Dartmoor Prison gave me the shivers!

Agree about Dungeness, never again!

Stirling castle in scotland. Love old castles so have visited a lot. Something about Stirling castle made me feel really
Odd, not bad odd (it's a beautiful place) but I can't describe it. Just overwhelmed with something.

ooh, I thought I didn't have one but suddenly remembered St Agnes in the Scilly Isles. Thought it would have a lovely hippy vibe but it was a group of campers who'd clearly been there ages who all STARED as we arrived. All the houses were silent and there was a calf randomly tied up alone by the beach. It was too Wicker Man and we got the immediate next boat back to the larger isle instead of camping.

I get the same feeling when I visit run down British seaside towns.

I’m from the Forest of Dean (escaped a while ago). I think we just get inoculated for weird shit quite early on in life down there, as I enjoy its mysteriousness. But definitely agree some of the villages and towns are grim (shout out to Cinderford and Coleford). There is something inherently unsettling about obvious poverty and deprivation set in such amazing landscape. I also liked Glastonbury when I visited briefly - keep meaning to go and give it a more detailed inspection. Mind you, I’m deeply hippy woo.

Bodmin Jail is seriously grim, and the way they’ve promoted it as a tourist attraction makes it even grimmer. Tea and scones with a view of the old hanging shed, anyone? (Complete with helpful tableau just in case the phrase ‘hanging shed’ wasn’t clear enough for you).

Vale Royal Abbey, while it was still semi-derelict before being turned into the smart venue it is now.

Visited on a bright day in Feb years ago, looked in the windows and walked round the back where it was catching the morning sun. I was standing where the arrow is when I had the most overwhelming feeling of dread. Nothing would persuade me to go back.

Apparently the workmen who were on the project had a number of strange experiences in the wing on the left of the pic.

The Hermitage castle near Newcastleton in the Scottish Borders. It's so eerie and unsettling!

Kilhope Wheel- went there twice on school trips and both times ended up crying, clinging to a TA and desperate leave despite being in secondary school. The whole place felt oppressive but in the mine itself I felt like we were being followed. Apparently it’s one of the most haunted places in Britain.
The Jorvik Centre- felt a weird sensation in there, fainted and then had to leave. The staff said it happens quite often.
Saltburn I agree with. Went there for a day on holiday and there was a genuinely eerie air. Stood on the pier I just wanted to leave.
The Church of Glenfinnan in Scotland near the famous Harry Potter viaduct gave me a weird feeling of foreboding but everywhere else in that area is lovely.
There’s also a stretch of main road- unfortunately the one to and from my town when coming from the North- that gives me a really bad vibe on a night, to the extent I will try to be back home before nightfall to avoid it as there’s no alternate route. The local newspaper recently published an article about several hauntings on the road, which might explain it.

Conwy Castle in North Wales. I’ve visited the other castles in that part of the world, Caernarfon, Harlech, Rhuddlan etc and never felt creeped out like I did there. It just had a really terrifying vibe.

Standing Stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis. Very menacing and creepy.
