Weirdest place you've ever been?

[Tootief]

Not necessarily woo, just weird.

We were looking at places to rent and the landlord showed us round a house which was becoming available. He was as uncomfortable as us when he saw that not only were the windows blacked out but the entire house from the ceiling down including the floors was covered in thick black plastic and the main bedroom had a lock added and we couldn't get in.

We left pretty quickly and I'm not really sure if the landlord looked into that any further!

Glasgow Central Station always makes me feel a bit weird but I'm not sure why.

I feel exactly the same!! I'm a total hippy and love a bit of woo, but I cannot stand Glastonbury town. It's just too much - fake and commercialised. I've been twice and both times I've ended up with a screaming migraine. I love the Tor, and Chalice Wells, and the spring, but the town - just no.

someone Said the town I live in lol.
weirdest place I’ve been is Jaywick.

Agree on Penrith!!

Crealy, in Devon?

I just did, and thought exactly that about Ross-On-Wye

Barnstaple.

Rundown with very odd people all over the place and a distinct dislike of holidaymakers when we tried to find a cafe for lunch.

San Deigo - got on a bus and it was literally full of weirdos!

Dungeness is a strange place as well.

This will resonate with some posters above. The wider Forest of Dean area. There is some deeper environment based 'backwardisation' of its population going on. You feel it in the infrastructure, you see it in the decay of flora and you hear it in the people there. Some kind of time warp being formed in a wet, temperate basin trapped between Gloucestershire, the Brecons and Avon.

I once went for an interview for a role as support worker in a children's home. The office where I was interviewed was in the basement and I got really weird vibes and was quite glad when I was not offered the job.

I think it may be Dingles but I'venever actually been so not sure.

Sticking with Devon, Trago Mills is an odd place, sort of tired old theme park combined with a 1970's carpet shop that sells all manner of tat. Feels a bit like you you've left reality behind when you go there.

Matlock Bath. Found it really oppressive

I feel the same about Glastonbury.

Years ago it was fabulous. They sold crystals, hats, Spectacular nail polishes, clothes and incense.

Now it’s a tourist attraction. Just overpriced new age shit.

Still love the area, my favourite pub is there and the Tor and Abbey are beautiful.

But the high street is SO disappointing. It’s fake.

How very dare you 😂.

I went to a great cafe in Barnstaple and a fab talk by a local artist in the museum. I really liked it!

A bus in Estonia, heading out of Tallinn to try and find this place that let you try firearms in a safe place, thought, hmm ok.. bus journey was utterly uncomfortable and weird..very very still passenger at front, absolutely saturated in urine, no one making eye contact, heading further and further from the tourist zones.. couldn't wait to get off, place was boarded up.
Got on the next bus back and went to the zoo instead, first thing we saw was a zookeeper walking round with a wheelbarrow of dead chicks and rats, randomly tossing to anything that looked like a carnivore.
Definitely felt like we were the lucky ones in a horror movie that day.

Orford Ness has a strange vibe to it too.

Portland in Dorset. It was okay in the summer, but in the winter it was desolate and just made me feel really sad every time I went there.

I second MidpmCoffee and Carmel, California. Really pretty, little quirky individual buildings, but no one around, nothing open, just dark and ominous!

20 years or so ago we went to a small town called Ripoll in the Spanish Pyrenees. We had the whole Slaughtered Lamb pub experience (An America Werewolf in London - where they all stop talking and playing darts when you enter, and just STARE at you) - but in every place in the town. The church was creepy as fuck. And at one point a man with no teeth started throwing cheese at us, and kids on bikes threw stones. Beyond weird! Everyone I know who's been there have all said it's the weirdest place they've ever been to.

Dungeness is AWESOME! Romney Marsh is very much 'this is my girlfriend-niece-aunt' with six toes 😂

I’ve had a quick Google to jog my memory it was Watermouth Castle and in particular the ‘Gnome Trail’

The frog museum in Split, Croatia. It's just scene after scene of taxidermy frogs arranged in human scenarios. So like frogs on a fox hunt, frogs eating at a dining table.

Fuckin weird

This sounds like the book the Unspoken Name. They do the same in there except... worse

Knock in Ireland.
Weird bottles of holy water everywhere and the Virgin Mary statues 🙈

This is supposed to be for children for goodness sake 😂

It's not just weird, it's a dump.

The gnomes remind me of Popeye village in Malta. Utterly weird.
