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.

The town at the bottom of Snowdon, llanberis I think? Total slaughtered lamb and very very run down. Could be a tourist Mecca, but I guess that's exactly the thing the locals don't want.

Melton Mowbray

Portmerion when we stayed for Christmas when I was a child. It felt like the surrounding countryside hated it if that makes sense?

Also thanks for my bedtime read OP!

Weirdest place I’ve been I the Uk was Portmeirion village. It’s meant to be a beautiful recreation of an Italianate village but i thought it was really tacky and felt completely fake. Real people live there, I believe, but I can’t imagine why they’d want to.

Matlock Bath & Forest of Dean. Both places that I hope never to return to.

Ha ha, cross posted!

Rellie lives there and loves it .

Glastonbury feels horrible.

@HalfWomanHalfChocolate that’s a bit spooky innit!?

Yes to Matlock Bath.

YesItsBess I just couldn’t believe it hadn’t been mentioned already, and then along we came, like buses 😂

Slough,

Still Slough.

@HalfWomanHalfChocolate the house we stayed in was spectacularly odd, Italian outside, old peoples home inside (pale green and pink carpets!) and I was really ill all through Christmas.

But I got a Dingbot toy so swings and roundabouts.

Tasmania. Particularly Port Arthur gave me the creeps. We were looking around that at dusk which didn’t help and it just made me feel a bit uneasy for the rest of the time we were in Tasmania, although parts of it were very beautiful.

For those who mention Glastonbury, for an absolute tourist tat place you would expect a few nice cafes and stuff like that- we actually struggled to find anywhere you would remotely fancy a coffee- much prefer Street, just down the road.

Bess I hope you’ve had counselling. I didn’t stay overnight, couldn’t wait to get out!

Langenhoe Church , or where it used to be .
The graveyard is still there but the church was demolished .
Second most haunted place in England apparently

Hell fire caves awful place equally west Wycombe national trust

Didn't get creeped out in forest of dene its self .. but the towns were weird!

Colosseum in Tunisia is one place I felt physically sick, sweating and had to leave immediately.

Blanchland in Northumberland I have never felt so uncomfortable anywhere, it wasn't scary or spooky it was just very very unsettling and odd.

Niagra Falls - look one way and you see one of the largest waterfalls in the world. Look the other way - Blackpool!

Poundbury in Dorset. It feels like a tv/movie village for a creepy horror show. Midwitch cuckoo vibes. I hate it

My sister used to live in fareham and on the journey to see her we used to pass through this weird town. The houses looked like they were all empty and the shop windows looked like they hadn't been changed since the 80s. It had a really weird vibe and used to give me the creeps. I don't know where it is but I'm sure it was near the devils punch bowl. I've tried finding it on Google maps but never worked it out!

Have you seen the episode of the Windsors where they visit Poundbury?

@whenwillthemadnessend - and the poems on the wall. Basically all about powerful men having sex with lots of women. Grim place. Feels like it was 100s of years ago until you realise it's much more recent than that

This made me laugh far too much!
