Places that make you feel uneasy

[BiggyJ]

Funfairs always make me feel on edge.

As for empty funfairs... 😱

This! New fear unlocked

I was born in 1981 maybe exposure to this contributed to my scary recurring dream and lifelong fear of swimming pools at night! Agree with another poster who said outdoor pools covered over, shudder. I just imagine a dead body bobbing about. Ditto the canals near all the bars in Manchester and Leeds

Places as to be schools day or night dont like them.

People where do i start.

Empty train stations.

Me too, I keep clear of east anglia, it creeps me out that aside from churches everything seems limited to 2 storey buildings.

Driving across Saddleworth Moor particularly on a gloomy day . Deptford and New Cross , very unsettling when you have broken down at midnight .

Me too! I hate trailers for documentaries about James bloody Cameron exploring the Titanic. It looks monstrous in the murky gloom.

I also feel funny around those shabby, large but sort of anonymous farm outbuildings in random fields, far from the actual farm. Now that's where you'll find the bodies!

Gosh this, I am a hill dweller and any really flat landscape gives me the willies.

Bothies. Just absolutely nooooot!

Also agree re empty schools. My old school had lights that automatically clicked on and off as you walked down a corridor at night. I hated staying late as it creeped me out.

Also buildings with lots of glass windows that stay uncovered at night. The thought of anyone looking in while I can't see out gives me the heebies.

Churches or any religious building.

Also the flat landscape flooding gives me the willies.

Ha! Cross post, great minds etc!

It's so interesting how many people are saying flat areas!

I would never have thought that would come up.

Those staircases that go up and up multiple floors.
Like in a tenement, where you can look down right through to the ground floor.
Does anyone get what I mean?

The doll room at the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh. It’s the stuff of nightmares - Google at your peril!

I agree with all these apart from churches.

Hairdressers. They used to make me feel so self conscious. Have now found an inner city busy and friendly salon. I really like it as they don’t take much notice of me and just get on with it. A spa falls into this category too. I had a gift token for a spa and gave it away.

Big supermarkets. I avoid them as much as possible and will even pay a bit more at a smaller shop.
I’m a bit claustrophobic and had to drive regularly through a toll charging long underground tunnel. Had to wind the window down.

Very plain churches (low church). I like me some baroque😁

There's a place up in the Highlands that's called a clootie well, it's an old well with hundreds of rags tied to the trees around it. Folklore says if you are ill you should tie a rag there and when it rots away you will be cured. I hate it, it gives me the absolute creeps just driving past it, there is no way I could ever stop and get out of the car there.

I have been there and I have a photo!

The spiral stone stairs in old castles and cathedrals.

Empty shopping centre/mall in the evening- can walk through to get to car park and there is usually a security man around but it gives me zombie movie vibes.

Farms / houses in the middle of nowhere- I have to home visit people and these ones freak me out, keep expecting Leatherface to appear and hang me on a hook.

Bridges over a road
Reservoirs and the plug hole things
Fields full of pylons- especially when driving past them. Terrifying things
Old churches with small narrow staircases. Boston Stump 😮

Not afraid of heights in general but cliff tops make me go all peculiar near the edge.

A weird one, Victorian red brick buildings, be they houses, hospitals, pubs etc. Gives me the major heebie jeebies. My Dh thinks they’re beautiful but no way would I live in one. Something horror/asylum vibes about them. Shudder!

As others have said I don't like traveling fairs or circuses, men dressed up as clowns (I don't like clowns but also you never know who is hiding under a costume). When a child I watched scary warning type films of bad men hanging around fairs etc, that has definitely put me off!

Don't particularly like arcades either, the ones with gaming machines.

Empty or abandoned swimming pools.
Anywhere where you can see directly below you, even if I'm only a couple of inches above the actual ground.
Dentists, doctors and hospitals - I think it's the smell.
Old fashioned elevators with no inside door.
HMS Belfast. I felt so claustrophobic and nauseous on there.
Liminal spaces.
