Places you have visited with a strange vibe

Exeter.
Where they hung the witches. I felt really weird there.

Went on a visit to Tor Abbey in Torquay in 2019 felt really strange walking round it and in one of the rooms there were exhibits as we were looking at them my throat went really tight and then like I had something stuck in it the place itself is beautiful but it freaked me out

I used to drive past it quite often: nothing. I feel cheated now.

Forest of Dean again but specifically Lydney Harbour. Had an overwhelming feeling of fear and felt like I was being watched. My DD actually felt someone push her and I saw her stumble but the side lane we were walking on was empty.

Also, a pub/ hotel just outside Bath, in a little village called Norton St Philip. A timber framed, Tudor type style place. Goodness; never felt fear like it. My DD, who was six at the time we visited, was also paralysed with fear; white faced and shaking. I was struck by a premonition that there was to be an unexpected death in the family and there was, within weeks.
I can’t even drive past the village now; I have to detour. Eleven years on, I feel sick thinking of it.
I read in an article a few years later that people stay overnight, ghost hunting there.

I feel certain some shocking things must have happened in these places in years gone by.

I did have an experience a couple of months ago that was unusual. During one of our interminable lockdown walks me and my son ended up on a street we hadn't been on before. I kept on saying to him "this is a really weird street, everything here looks weird, the houses aren't quite right" to the point where he was like "Jesus, what are you going on about, it's just a street". And I guess it was, a quiet residential street in a small town. But I couldn't get past this feeling, and when we got to one house in particular I really thought there was something not right with the house, it just looked all wrong. So I told myself there was probably something architecturally unusual about it or something and that having it in my vision was giving me off beam thoughts.

There was a stabbing there the next night. Guy staggered out on to the street and he'd been stabbed.

Haworth Parsonage in 2017.

It was the year of Bramwell's bicentenary. Walked around the house happily looking at everything, taking photos...got to his bedroom and was just completely poleaxed.

Just kind of ground to a halt and felt an overwhelming sense of sadness to the point I was welling up and still do when I describe it in RL. Absolutely couldn't take photos.

As soon as I went into the next room I was absolutely fine.

I'm going back to Yorkshire next year and will be interested to go again and see if the same thing happens.

Bolton Abbey

OP your photos give me a doomy, odd feeling, as if I’ve been there in a dream I can’t remember.

Whitby had a secretive strangeness too.

Dean Castle in Scotland. I felt so uncomfortable I had to leave - I had the distinct feeling someone had been murdered there. I was only about 8 & thought I'd kept my feelings to myself.

But recently my mother and I were driving past the sign and she asked if I wanted to go in. I said no! She recalled I didn't want to set foot inside it as soon as we reached the entry stairs.

I don’t like Burnham on Crouch. It’s just freaky.

Agree with Port Elizabeth. Very bleak. Loved Merida in Mexico though!

Also agree with a previous poster about Sarajevo. If a word could describe it, it'd be melancholic. We drove off the beaten track somewhere between our journey from Sarajevo to Mostar and ended up on some mountain surrounded by thick trees and a spindly track when a thick fog engulfed our car - was such a horrible experience. During the drive we came across this huge abandoned building which both me and DH got REALLY bad creepy vibes from. Later when I googled it, apparently it had been a 'hotel' that'd been used essentially as a torture prison.

Charlestown in Cornwall made me feel very weird. When we passed a sign for it on our honeymoon, I was just about to say so to my husband, when he said "Have you ever been there? It has a very weird atmosphere!

We stayed in a little holiday cottage in a place called Docking in Norfolk. Beautiful setting, creepy as can be! I don't even know why.

Rendlesham forest too.

Dolbenmaen in Wales. Went to visit a relative there years ago, found it to be beautiful with the scenery but eerie.

I live in semi rural Australia. Near to my house is a historic court building.
It's set in beautiful surroundings, an idyll really....little stream running through it etc.

At night though...different story. I accidentally tried to walk in there at sunset and it felt odd....as soon as the sun set I was like...hair standing on end...FREAKED out and scared. It was like an enormous energy saying "YOU DON"T WANT TO BE HERE AFTER DARK!"

I never went there after dark again. Later I found this was the place the British military had set up camp when they first came to claim and map the area. And of course, commit atrocities against the local aboriginal population.

Blackheath common in London, has always freaked me out. It's a really, flat, exposed, green, very open space with a very strange vibe. The first time I went there was in winter and it was really windy and I felt as though something was raining blows upon me and had to get out of there fast. It was the weirdest sensation. Years later I found out that there had be a Ripper style killing where the body of a young girl had been discovered badly mutilated on Blackheath in the 1930s. Someone at work also told me that all the bodies of the Black Death plague victims were buried under the heath, hence the name Blackheath. It really creeps me out.

Pendine, not Pembrey. The car was called Babs.

Kielder water felt spooky and pretty desolate

@PivotPivotPivottt there most certainly is one in Scarborough yes

Yet another one to declare Townsville a bit creepy.

A few years ago I was house hunting and went to view an old priory which had been converted into a house. It was lovely until I went upstairs to the attic bedrooms which were originally the maids’ rooms. The attic gave me the chills and I couldn’t wait to leave.

I eventually moved to another property and my buyer said that she had also viewed the old priory and had felt the exact sensation.

She did, however, move into my house and then say that it was haunted. She could hear the sound of running footsteps but TBH it was only the ice rumbling around the ice maker in the fridge freezer.
