DH and I were on holiday, he’d booked us an escape room. I didn’t know anything about the location but we arrived and it was part of a larger building that looked quite old.

It was a beautiful sunny day. We got out of the car and walked over to the buildings. I instantly felt this awful suppressed feeling, like impending doom, I felt cold and really spooked, I didn’t say anything to him. We went and did the escape room which was great fun.

As soon as we stepped outside the feeling came back to me. We walked through the courtyard to the cafe and there was some art on display. I stopped to look at the art while DH went into the cafe to order our drinks. While I was looking at the art I heard a child’s giggle from across the room, I turned and there was no one there.

I joined DH in the cafe and asked him what the buildings used to be, he said he thought they were a workhouse.

Anyway, I’ve been doing some googling and there are stories of it being haunted. I know written down it doesn’t sound like much but I’ve never had a feeling like that before and I’ve visited lots of historical sites over the years. It’s just freaked me out a bit!!

I love these stories but haven’t experienced anything myself! Following in the hope there’s more!

I was staying with my mother in a hotel in Cherbourg, France which overlooked the marina/entrance to the port. I woke up in the night and was convinced I could see soldiers looking out at the sea and talking - they were in uniforms which I described to my mother who said they were German uniforms. I am convinced I had a vision of soldiers in WW2 who were stationed there. I was really scared and got under the duvet!!

When I was a young child my grandma took me with her to a friend's house. As I walked in I "remembered" being there before and seeing liquid pouring down a table. The friend made us a cup of tea and as my grandma moved her teaspoon, she accidentally knocked her cup over and the tea poured down the leaf of the table. It was the exact thing I "remembered" seeing before, except the friend had only recently moved into the house and this was our first visit.
The house is from the 18th century, it's near where I live now and I don't like walking past because of the overwhelming feeling that I'm being watched.
I'm very un-woo apart from this!
