Places you have visited with a strange vibe

The Scientology place on the A22 is way outside of East Grinstead - but it is creepy to be fair. It has a real "wrongness" vibe to it (I often drive past). May just be because I know it's the European HQ of a weird organisation though I suppose, it's just very ..... Over-manicured.

San Francisco was the most depressing and scary place I've been recently, especially around the Tenderloin area.

I find a lot of coastal Kent very bleak and depressing.

Mine Howe in Orkney (Maes Howe is ok).
A house I lived in for 8 years. 2 visiting friends in the forces were horrified by the sound of breathing from the roof. Footsteps regularly ran up the stairs. A hoarse voice said "Here I am" between my ex and me as we lay reading on opposite sides of the bed...we both heard it, sat up, and prayed in as many traditions as we could remember.

Not a place exactly, I was in a pub down Pembrey and there was an old framed photo of a car on the wall. It made me feel very sad for some reason, like the car was sad or a sadness around it. I later found out that the driver of that car died when attempting a land speed record, they buried the car on the beach and then dug it up and restored it years later (I may have got some details wrong there, it was a long time ago). I had no idea about the history when I looked at the photo, just how it made me feel, it just had a tragic feel about it.

I remember going to a pub in Saltburn and on the way out there was the full moon hanging over the cliffs. It was like you could really sense how ancient it was, probably not explaining well, but gave me shivers. I love it though such a nice place to visit.

Stonehenge. Felt really creepy vibes

Chingle Hall in Preston; went years ago and still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I think about it!

Larkhill, on Salisbury Plain. I lived there a couple of times, and was always struck by how empty it seemed. I knew that loads of families lived there, but it always gave the impression of being almost deserted.

I also felt weird about Statton Island, it felt very disconnected to the rest of NYC (not just because its an island) and gave off sad/forgotten about vibes.

Porthgain in Pembrokeshire. The harbour is completely dominated by a huge derelict brickworks, I found it really unnerving and oppressive. Made me go weak at the knees, not in a good way.

Denver gave me the weirdest vibes as did Long Beach in LA. It just felt empty and flat.
Funnily enough I used to be a bit freaked out by Saltburn when I was a little girl. I think it was the sharp road on the cliff and the huge amount of seaweed on the beach.

I love Saltburn now and we were there last Sunday.
Also I stayed in one of Britain’s most haunted hotels, The Schooner in Alnmouth. Omg it was spooky.
It was also dropping to bits - my DBIL said the scariest thing he saw all weekend was the electrics

I love Saltburn. One of my favourite places. Glastonbury however freaked me out no end!

I also get a feeling of unease on the Kent coast in places like Deal and Ramsgate. I never feel relaxed there.

Sarajevo in Bosnia. The city is in a valley a surrounded by mountains that get covered in mist and there are noticeably large numbers of white tomb stones lining the mountain sides and across the city in general. It doesn't feel like the city has fully recovered since the war ended in 1995 it is still visibly scarred. The locals being up the war a lot, which surprised me as I had assumed it would be the opposite (although it could be they think tourists want to hear about it). I had such a feeling of sadness for what those people went through that really stayed with me.

Agree with the VERY bad vibes in Glastonbury

Glastonbury
Kirk Yetholm
Armagh
Bangkok
Merida in Mexico
Key West
Denver, Colorado (that city has a load of ley lines)

I love Lytham St. Anne’s and Grange-over-sands. I think I enjoy the fact that time has stood still but they haven’t declined. I find it peaceful.
I couldn’t wait to leave Port Elizabeth in South Africa.

Glen Affric in Scotland. Absolutely beautiful but also rather eerie and creepy in places. Stayed at a campsite which had some oddball characters living there for the summer in caravans and a strange Australian man running the local shop who acted as though it was the first time he had met us even tho we were popping in there all the time. We thought maybe he was some kind of murderer who had fled Australia...

Twin towers went about 3y before 9/11. Had very strange feeling trying leave the building have to go down 3 separate lifts as it was so tall. Got real sense of doom and panic trying to leave as took long walk from lifts and through entrance. Never had in any other building.

There is a road which runs through our land, which is just above the shore. I used to have to walk down the road to visit the old lady in the cottage at the other side- it should have taken about 5 minutes to walk, but it never took me more than 2! The cottage was odd too; when I was inside, I would often hear the sound of a car pulling up outside, and sometimes see headlights. Then there would be the sound of a car door slamming. There was never a car there though.

There is the strangest feeling of being followed, and of being watched, or maybe escorted off the land. About halfway along, you hear the sound of some sort of fabric flapping in the wind (but only, for some reason, at night). When I first came here, I assumed a sack had got stuck on a fence, but one day when I remembered about it and went to get rid of the sack, I found there was nothing there. I asked my husband about it and he said something like "Ah, that. You won't find anything, nobody ever has".

Years later, I never walk that road if I can help it, and certainly never after dark. The cottage is now a holiday home and the atmosphere has lightened a little, but it still isn't a place I would ever be able to truly relax.

I grew up in Saltburn and visit regularly, was there today and have never felt a weird vibe, it’s a great place 😊
I was a bit spooked visiting Megiddo in Israel, all a bit end of the worldish and The Omen.

I agree about Kandy in Sri Lanka - I remember the trees around the main lake being full of crows. Perhaps that's what made it feel weird

I've been to a couple of places where I have felt that I had been there before.

One was quite scenic, and it may just be possible that I had been there, but the other was a town centre and I definitely hadn't. Maybe it had been on tv or had an identical layout to another town centre.

@Wbeezer I felt like that about the Cotswolds! It just felt terribly English and l felt like I didn't belong there at all and wouldn't be welcomed. I've never felt that in other parts of England.
