Places that make you feel uneasy

[BiggyJ]

Funfairs always make me feel on edge.

As for empty funfairs... 😱

Villages with no real people in sight but they're having a scarecrow competition week and there are random straw-stuffed ' people' sitting on benches or peeping over walls

i thought this only happened in Midsomer Murders!

New build housing estates. Developers cram as many rabbit hutch ‘houses’ together as they can, and I find them SO f-ing depressing. My local woods have been hacked down to make room for two estates, and now the fields in the centre of the village are going to be built on as well. 😪

We’re cramming too many houses and too many people together. It all feels unnatural and suffocating. Actually, it scares me. It just doesn’t matter how many we build we always need more, more, more. I sometimes think this will only end when the whole of southern England is one giant estate.

Instead of walking my dog through meadows this spring, I’ll be walking him through a noisy building site.

Does anybody live near any of these
nightmare inducing traffic calming bollards ...

Lakes surrounded by mountains make me feel claustrophobic, Lake Como for example. I live on the coast.

Multi storey car parks, negotiating those narrow twists and turns. Stems from reading a horrific tale of a woman driving her car by mistake down a lift shaft on top being repaired or something.

Morecambe (sorry). I know seaside places are depressing in winter, but this was the height of summer. To a lesser extent, Lytham St. Anne’s.

I had a day trip to Mablethorpe and felt I had stepped back in time and not in a good way, strange atmosphere and smells. Also Douglas IOM has a sad, woebegone feeling now it is in decline.

The cave I was in, you couldn't turn round. If was like a tunnel and we were almost bent double so had to keep on going.

Apart from Douglas, I love the IOM!💕

@BiggyJ they would make me crash!

Instead of walking my dog through meadows this spring, I’ll be walking him through a noisy building site.

pesky humans needing somewhere to live! 🙄

The Mary Rose exhibition in Portsmouth. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Mazes, avoid them like the plague

No..thankfully
They're creepy.

I came on to say exactly this!

Same here and I think it started when I watched the kids tv series The Changes first shown in January 1975 (wow 50 years ago). I was 11 and it really scared me.

My 90s escapade probably won't appeal
Take an LSD tab
Night time
Go to maze at night(closed)with friends.
Run away from eachother so you don't know if you'll bump into them on the way round or any other night time nutters.

I lived for a while in an apartment in Stockholm and there was a communal laundry room in a basement. It was the scariesty thing ever to walk down narrow staircase to a pitch black laundry room.

Martock in Somerset. I'm not woo, but that place had the weirdest energy.

I nearly fell out of a ride on a travelling fair as young teen, so they are a hell no from me too(!) Theme parks are fine though

Bloody hell, is that true about the Tay? I expect others feel the same as you do about it. Like taking off on a runway with the remains of a plane crash on it!!

PS Great username.

Churches, but particularly catholic ones due to all the statues. Even worse, my in-laws local church had been renewed in a brutalist style and has this giant grey jesus leaning in, I shiver just remembering.

Anywhere with statues really. I’m just not a fan of big statues. Even the giant statue in front of courts bothers me.

Car parks.

Public toilets, especially if completely empty and quiet.

That’s just because people keep insisting on houses instead of just building up. I don’t know why it wouldn’t be better to have bigger apartments instead of depressing, crammed together small houses.

Yes it's true. I mentioned it upthread. My mother always told us to look out for the stumps of the old bridge when we were on the road bridge. Gave me the creeps.

lol, they even sell 'Roys of Wroxham' gifts, it's legendary!

Whatever you do, don’t google ghost in London underground tunnel. If I could unsee, I would 😓

Not places but things. I loathe eyes. Eyes in dolls, portraits (esp Victorian ones), so anything staring at me from the wall or shelf, no thanks very much.

Only height that's ever scared me was driving over Viaduc de Millau on the way to work in Montpellier. I'd driven from the UK and freaked out half way over this thing, went on for (seemingly) miles.

The Duke of Lancaster ship near Mostyn, North Wales. It makes me feel really weird.

Dams.

The channel tunnel. I felt really odd in it, really gloomy and had a build up of pressure in my head.
