Places you have visited with a strange vibe

Agree that Glastonbury has a weird vibe to it ,went years ago but was so creeped out I've never been back .

Culloden. But probably because Im aware of its history.

Two places - firstly when I was living in Bangkok I visited a friends house out in the country and he took us to see a part of the River Kwai railway close to a cave. Awful, awful vibes there and then he told me that prisoners used to hide in the cave and when they were caught they would have been shot on the spot.

Second one also in SE Asia - Tuol Sleng prison in Phnom Penh. It had been a school until the Khmer Rouge took it over. I wanted to go into one of the classrooms and take a photo looking out through the bars on the window but I literally couldn't walk inside there, you could just feel the sadness seeping out of everywhere.....

Buxton.
Couldn't wait to leave v odd place

A couple people mentioned Townsville, I actually really liked it, worked in a bar there for awhile.

Yes, I’m baffled. I usually visit either on my way to or from the reef/Daintree every few years. Never noticed anything odd about it, very typical of a far North town (not sure if officially a city but i would class it as a large town personally).

Watchet in Somerset. Took the West Somerset Railway too.. Just something sinister and creepy about that place - like land of the living dead. I was expecting any moment for corpses to start rising from gardens. Very weird.

@Tyredofallthis1 Bradfordian here! Sad to report that whilst much of the city is dead at night, if you know where to look there are some fab little spots: North Parade is a lovely street of indie bars and shops which are always busy. Don't miss out on St George's (one of the oldest concert halls in Europe); it really is stunning, as is the Alhambra, if we can ever tempt you back! .

I honestly can't imagine why you'd be so scared on a pier you'd run away but if it makes you feel better, with this weather it will be packed! It's a beautiful place and so tightly very popular with tourists. I can't wait to go back, the glass fronted restaurant half way up has amazing views!

Never been to Saltburn but it looks a little similar to Cromer, which I don’t like personally, but others do,. Glastonbury I didn’t like, which really surprised me as I thought I would, been once wouldn’t return.

On a previous similar thread, a couple of people mentioned Kamloops in BC as making them uneasy. In light of the recent discovery of the remains of 215 indigenous children buried there (on the land of the former residential school), it makes sense.

Nowhere. And my hobby has taken me to a LOT of supposedly haunted and creepy-feeling places, including some of those mentioned. I think I'm just too pragmatic.

I also like Saltburn, if you go when it's not the height of summer so packed, it seems like the perfect old fashioned seaside town. It's also the easiest bit of coast for me to get to (A64 to Scarborough always has a big traffic jam).

I keep meaning to rent a beach hut and just sit there and read all day, and get food from that cafe that Nadiya Hussein went to on Remarkable Places to Eat.

But I also like Heptonstall, to mention another place people think strange. Fascinating place.

My 'weird vibes' place was Sotogrande in southern Spain. The person who recommended it to us described it as a nice place to go for lunch and a wander round, but it just seemed really artificial, like something from the Truman Show. I just wish I'd read it's wikipedia page before we went and not bothered.

Auschwitz. Never again.

I can't say Townsville gave me the creeps but it was a bit odd. I seem to remember a lovely little water park. We did go to a very odd church though, held in an I Max cinema. The preacher seemed to be saying God only loves beautiful people. We had our autistic son with us and the tone of the sermon suggested that God didn't like oddballs. We got up and left.

Epping Forest in Essex. I was brought up there most of my life and always get a strange feeling there. Specially by hangman's Hill.

Ahh bloody love Saltburn! Fab place to visit and not too busy with everyone favouring Whitby!!

Hagley woods- “who put Bella in the witch elm”

That place gives me the heebie jeebies

Holidayed here as a child it was so bad our family of six left after one night for a holiday in Rhyl which wasn't much better but for totally different reasons! Fell in love with and now live less than four miles away from there now.

Dungeness. Gives me the massive creeps I hate it.
Romney Marsh is also really bleak.

Forks, Washington state. It's were they filmed twilight. Very odd town. Feels like the kind if place you'd be murdered & the whole town was in on it including the sheriff. Then as we drove through the Olympic mountains we drove by a chain gang. It gave me chills.
