Places you have visited with a strange vibe

Gloucester

The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. DP were walking about in Berlin in the evening do all the outdoor touristy bits, it was February so cold and dark but lots of people and cars everywhere. We turned to walk down a street and suddenly it was so silent, we hadn't realised we were walking past the memorial until then but it was so weird, like there was no-one else for miles around even though we had just been in a really crowded area. Really heavy atmosphere as well.

@ImprobablePuffin why cottenham? Have friends who live there.

The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. I refused to get out of the car to take a look. A feeling of dead I'd never had before (or since) came over me.

Pere Lachaise Cemetery, Paris.

Beauty transcends death there.

Also Cottenham in Cambridgeshire feels odd.
We went on a school trip to the Forest of Dean for a week and I hated it but could never figure out why aged 10.

Specifically the upstairs of my grandmothers friends house.
I've never felt a presence or believed in anything 'woo' but my eyes would start to burn and I felt really heavy if I went upstairs.

I have zero evidence apart from the fact she’s unpleasant. But there is something not right going on there. It has the same feeling as houses where crimes have happened. Nothing has happened! I just know it’s not right.

I sound like a crazy busy body/ woo woo person. But I’ve felt it and the other side said it unprompted. It comes from the whole area of the house.

Next door house to mine. Our neighbour is very rude to us, and she’s awful herself and she and her husband argue sometimes but it’s more to it than that. I sound crazy so haven’t said it out loud... but our neighbour on the other side spoke it aloud... there’s a dark energy coming from the place. I feel it every time I enter our house (they’re to the left). It’s like there’s a black cloud above it.
Definitely a strange vibe, I’m not like this at all and never speak like it. I don’t know if there’s something wrong in their family and the energy is off? I don’t know how to describe it, it’s really odd. The children are silent and never smiling or playing there... it really does seem to emanate.

Not quite the same but we stayed in a villa once up on the cliffs on a Greek island. It was a lovely villa but for some reason gave us both the creeps!! I think it was a couple of things, partly the cliffs/felt a bit dangerous and another couple of weird things that happened.

Another place in Malaysia that also had one of those kind of lifts. At the top it had some kind of bird sanctuary and there were rats running all over the top of the enclosures. 🤢 I was very panicked!! Two things im scared of, heights and rats!!

Norfolk. And the Civil Service.

Was working in an 18th Century Manor House in a secluded Snowdonian valley , had to go up to a room on the top floor to do some repairs... at the time one of the house dogs would follow me around everywhere so I was astonished when he growled at me when I tried to close the door on him and me in the room . He went ape so I let him out and did what I had to do. The most bleak , horrible , scary atmosphere was there so I finished fast and ran downstairs . It really was scary , I felt really oppressed and threatened.
A few days later I was told that a maid at that house had committed suicide by throwing herself from one of the windows in the room into the river below.
I left that week.
Was later told that dogs won’t go where spirits linger 🙀🙀🙀

@Fatredwitch I am also pagan and a witch and I hate Glastonbury.

I live fairly close to it but like a previous poster I'd rather shop in Yeovil too!

It gives me a dreadful headache if I'm there more than an hour or two. I find it a horrible toxic place full of very damaged people and those who prey upon them.

Agree with those who say East Sussex. Firle Beacon can feel desolate. I was once offered a whole furnished house and garden to rent in an East Sussex village, for £300/month. The top floor was locked. The old home had the family's things in it, including ancient children's furniture, and coffee tables with legs that were the actual furred and hooves legs of deer. It was rambling with lovely grounds but felt unutterably sad, as if someone were walking up and down and weeping. I needed somewhere to live but said no. A neighbour told me "something like that" (the weeping) "had happened".

Just picking up on Davidstow.

My dad was a duty technician looking after the radio masts up there in1955-ish.

He said it was an odd and weird place to be. Strange sudden weather, odd people appearing, weird 'howling' sounds out on the moor in the mid evenings....

See for me the new forest is like going home. I once was having a horrific patch of insomnia, took a day trip, found a car park and had the best quality sleep in the form of a nap i had had for a long time. It is somewhere i make the effort to go back to, because it really does lift my spirits. but it is like the peaks where some patches feel really welcoming and some really really don't

Bayview outside Houston - looking for a motel - bound to have a great view.... er no - middle of an oil field. Awful. Not comfortable there AT ALL

some of these are interesting but i don’t really get the same feeling - eg osterley, blackheath have all been fine

Anna Frank museum in Amsterdam was very difficult to be in

Sagrada Familia was just the strangest building I’ve ever seen - creepy AF, but incredible - i couldn’t stop looking at it

Glastonbury and other parts of Somerset - Frome - definitely feel uncomfortable. Has a hand maids tail vibe for me!

Apologies to those that live there but Tilbury. We made the mistake of looking at houses there. It had a very hills have eyes/Eden Lake vibe.

Also Madrid at night time, we made the mistake of venturing to a city park at night and we could not get out of there quick enough. Lots of gangs everywhere and it felt very threatening. It is a beautiful city though.

I've only been to Saltburn once, and thought it was great! We had delicious fish and chips on the pier and DH loved the cloud lift so much he went on several times

My DSis lives in a very old house and I don't feel comfortable there. Her old house had a very different vibe, so I know that it's not just my DSis!

Really like Bath but find the New Forest really creepy and it makes me feel sad everytime i have been!
