@Flaminggoat, I spent some time in Berry Pomeroy, my Grandma was the housekeeper to the vicar. All I remember is on phone box and a very small congregation. I didn't realise there were any young people around, this would have been during the '70's. Grandma used to scare the shit out of me and my sister by taking us through the graveyard at night.

That's really lovely/moving @Elouera.

Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire. I've never had such a bad feeling about a place, I couldn't wait to leave.

Some of the small settlements on the journey between Ely and Norwich feel a little too close to uncanny valley occasionally. Particularly the hamlet of Queen Adelaide springs to mind. Flat, green land, not so much as a hillock, stretching into every direction. Villages which consist of a church, a pub and a few scattered houses. For some reason, it always unsettles me.

40 ft dyke in the fens. Will always drive miles out of my way just to avoid it!

West Wycombe mausoleum. Just felt so freaked out. I would never set foot in it again. Such a feeling of evil.

Interesting.
The only part of Mottisfont I'm not keen on is the undercroft. But that has all the vibes you'd expect from a semi-buried space.

Stokesay Castle, Shropshire - weird vibes as a child, ditto Corfe Castle although been back to Corfe as an adult and no weird vibes. Packwood House - road goes through 2 sets of gates, always thought they would shut and I'd be trapped - felt this at night not during the day. Another road very near Packwood House - drove down there late one night and when I still lived in the area I wouldn't go down there during the day although no-one else seemed to feel this

Port Sunlight and Lake Como

The tunnel under Preston Station to get you from one set of platforms to another with a buggy or wheelchair etc. Nothing unusual in that its just a creepy piss filled tunnel that looks like the ones at any station but god the atmosphere was somthing else, so heavy, I wanted to puke...and RAN to the other end and must have pressed the lift button 10 times before it arrived...I was shaking and could have burst into tears when the lift doors opened and I was back on the platform

Jerusalem. I went,as a young twenty something, for a day with a tour company. In certain quarters I felt quite threatened. The history is fascinating but the vibe isn't friendly - well not to a young woman anyway. I'm not religious so the western wall was all a bit weird to me too.

@Pottedpalm

Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin.

Never been but a friend found it haunted and oppressive. And she is a militant atheist.

Boston, Lincolnshire. Every time I've had to go there I cannot wait to get away.

Milton Keynes. We stopped off there a few weeks ago while driving from the midlands back to London. The whole “Midwestern American city plonked down in the Buckinghamshire countryside” vibe was weird and unsettling, and that big, landscaped park had a really unwelcoming, sinister feel. We’d been keen to stop and stretch our legs, but I really wanted to get back in the car and get the hell out of there. Plus all the traffic roundabouts made me travel sick

Actually you're right, I haven't been to MK for years but it is a strangely unsettling place. The area around the station - all shiny concrete - it almost feels like something out of a sci-fi novel.

@rockandgrohl you'll be glad to know theyve recently got rid of the underpass and filled it up. Tbh most of that station has wierd vibes, always felt uneasy sitting their waiting for the bus

The A30 road from Salisbury over to near Winchester - a pretty drive, but felt very unsafe and anxious when I drove it recently.

The A/M74 southbound, especially the winding elevated sections 😱

Panariai (Ponary) about fifteen minutes outside of Vilnius, Lithuania by train.This is a place where at least 100,000 Jews, Poles, and Russians were murdered by the Nazis in the early 1940s. I've visited a lot of Holocaust sites in many countries, and reading up on them I always hear that it's silent and not even one bird ever sings. That isn't generally true - but at this site somehow it was true. I walked through that whole area of the forest, alone, seventy-something years after the slaugher took place there, and there was not one single natural sound. Eerie.

Hi sorry I made this second thread too early. Still got room left on the other x

The market cross in Edinburgh, thought I was going to faint near it. Also Easby Abbey in North Yorkshire had a strange vibe and dd and I both saw a dark shadowy figure there.

Bodmin Jail before it was converted into an hotel - I felt extremely uneasy walking around & even just looking at the place! Also a dental practice in the same town where I was a receptionist - the room where we kept our lunches was absolutely icy cold all year round. The building was 16th century I think. Definitely wouldn’t want to be on my own there.

Dusk. Various places. Something unnerving about being out walking at dusk & catching little glimpses of ppls houses & lives.

I have a few

Somewhere in Montana is a lake with a few submerged houses. Back in the 50's (?) half of the mountain collapsed taking a camping ground and the homes with it. Such a weird and frightening thing to view these homes in the water. The waves rush in and out the rooms. I had to go back to the car

Staying at a stately home with my grandparents when my sister and I were 10 and 12. We had our own room, no en-suite. The room had a huge four poster bed with steps going up to it. Many portraits of people long gone lined the wall. I had a nightmare that one lady walked out of her picture and screamed at me to get out. I woke up crying and fell out of the bed. My sister was so frightened she urinated in bed rather than walk down the long hall to the bathroom.

My grandparents took us to the plague village. (They loved these sort of excursions!) My sister complained that someone kept pulling her hair.

My husband and I looked at a home in Kennebunkport Maine. It was built in the early 1700's. I walked in an felt such a wave of despair and fear. I didn't want to be rude so we went through the house with the realtor and the very old seller. He told us the history of the home included Native American's raiding the original part of the home and murdering three of the family. The home was still equipped with "Indian Shutters" for protection. I couldn't wait to leave
