Have you ever felt evil or that something was deeply wrong?

[crochetmonkey74]

Inspired by an experience I had recently that has really rattled me. It's very outing as I've talked to everyone in my real life about it, it bothered me so much so I'll keep it brief.
I met some people I hadn't met before to buy an item from FB marketplace. Its a fairly rare item, and an expensive one so I went off to see if it was the right thing. The house was beautiful, it was a very large manor house that has been turned into huge expensive period flats,the grounds were amazing and the people were nice but a few odd things happened that were boundary testing and also some oddly timed things happened. While I was there I felt OK, it was a beautiful place, very quiet and entrancing but as I drove away I had this overwhelming sense of relief that I was leaving, and I was scanning my brain for any information I'd told them about myself in case they could find me. I am not a scared person or one prone to flights of fancy , this has never happened to me before. I had a physical reaction to the street they live on when I drove past some days later. My brain said "I'm never going up there again" and I keep having that feeling of having been in a bubble, it bursting and me being glad to be away from it. A weird story I know. Anyone had similar? I just know there was something deeply wrong there. I even asked my lovely neighbour to send a prayer up for me to protect me , and I would consider myself a non believer!

is this the first time you feel it ?
I got this all my life , situations where something is not ok in the environment and I physically need to leave . Not long ago I had a similar situation . I went to collect something from marketplace and it was new building within an old hospital ground . House was great , person was lovely but I felt unease to be so close to the hospital , but still ok . The moment I got in the car again my brain just went “ drive away just gogogo “
I had tears down my face and my heart was beating so fast . I tend to feel buzzing in my ears when I’m near a place it has bad energy and if I ignore it makes me dizzy and feel enclosed ?
I hope it makes any sense .
I’ve been told as a child I was a empath . Maybe you are too

I went to view a house with exh. It was large and needed doing up which was fine as that's what we were looking for but as soon as I walked in I felt dreadful. I felt like something awful had happened upstairs and the walls had seen things they couldn't forget. I couldn't get out fast enough. My exh thought I was a loony but I just can't articulate how awful it felt.

No luckily I didn't drink any. Precisely as I didn't trust them. Not a feeling I have ever had before

This isn't on the same level but it's on my mind because it only happened two days ago. Met a man at a wedding, in his sixties, married, a friend of the groom's family. He made some kind of harmless but mildly annoying joke when I was talking to him early on - my brain went NOPE and I found myself giving him a look at which he quite visibly hung his head and shrank away. And I felt a bit guilty afterwards because I do know my best glower is intimidating to men and while he annoyed me, he really hadn't said anything to warrant the look I gave him!

The next day I found out he had, six hours and a lot of free drinks later, made a pass at the groom's sister, who is a beautiful woman thirty years younger than him and has known him since she was a small girl. And she's a lesbian. And when she pointed out to him that she is a lesbian he told her that no she isn't, she just thinks she is. She was very upset by the whole thing. In retrospect I feel quite justified in glowering at him!

Thinking about it now, the gift of man-repelling dirty looks has saved me from much worse than that guy, and it's usually triggered by something unconscious.

Then what are you trying to insinuate? That they planned to murder you? I hope you aren’t slagging these people off in their local area. At worst they were swingers with shit social skills, but you’re making out they were going to do something awful like sacrifice you to Lucifer with absolutely no evidence except for a ‘feeling’.

What happened?

As a child I found an antique necklace on the road opposite my house, it looked so old and I’ve no idea how it could’ve got there. The pendant was some sort of dragon or gargoyle creature. I’ve never felt anything like it, like there was evil running out of it. Every time someone touched it something bad would happen. A man at my house touched it and crashed his car within 12 hours. I touched it and fell and banged my head badly. There were a few other things - we threw it away at the tip. I wonder where it went. It was definitely not ‘right’ though

@RoseAndVioletSims were you living in Manchester at the time and the meter reader working for a company beginning with an E? This happened to me and I was terrified. Have never let one in since

@Druyhbf also very concerned about how your step dad treated you. What a horrible situation for you to be in. I hope that was a one off at the very least.

He was a violent man. We would go to safe houses but Mum always went back to him. That was the only time he ever hit me.

I’m so sorry you went through that. Xx

@Adviceplease991 I second the request for a link to your thread please! That sounds scary as hell.

I am not sure how it works i think click on my username?? I didnt give best examples and I am being ripped a little on there 😂😂

It wasn’t Manchester, no, and it was a company called isupply who were taken over by EDF. I can’t actually remember if it happened before or after they were taken over.

Along similar lines, but it was a lady I used to say hello to as I walked the dog.
It was autumn, just getting dark when I walked past the factory where she worked and she called me over, waving. As I got up to her she said loudly that she had something in the car for me and walked me to her car clutching my arm. I was 😕 but walked with her. As soon as I was inside the factory gates she told me that she had seen a man following me as I walked up the road and that every time I stopped to let the dog have a sniff he was ducking out of view. I thanked her profusely and stayed in the factory grounds with her until we were sure that the man had gone.

I worked as an estate agent and had to go look at an empty farmhouse that was due to come on the market. I love old buildings so very comfortable usually. This house, although beautiful, gave me this unshakeable feeling of being watched. Upstairs, downstairs, everywhere, I felt I wasn't wanted there and was intruding. Fair enough, I'm only an EA but still! Couldn't even get myself to do the oil reading in one of the outbuildings. Good luck to whoever is renting that place!

There is no such thing as an 'evil' presence though is there?! People can be evil but not places or the 'air'

Listen to your instincts, I had a strong negative reaction to a friend’s new partner. He seemed on paper like the ideal man, charming, witty, generous, but too nice, as though he was compensating for something and I half expected the mask to slip one day.

One day out of the blue, she phoned to say he had a heart attack and died. I sympathised for her tragic loss but to my surprise, she said she was glad he was dead, and that he was systematically abusing and controlling her.

On his death we discovered he had huge debts and had spent lengthy stretches in jail for violent crimes. He lied to my friend but got away with it because he was clever and articulate, and he gradually eroded her self esteem. Clare’s law would have been useful and I wish I’d known about it when I first met him.

This is why we do not allow second hand objects in our home. We know all too well what you experienced and you are not crazy. Do not go back to that place and I'd be careful about second hand objects in the future. Once they are in your home, it could be a different story.

I also consider myself an empath and have experienced the same before. Interesting!

I almost accepted a late night lift from the Claremont serial killer, Bradley Edwards, until I looked into his eyes and knew that if I got in his car, it would be the last thing I ever did.

Yes OP it sounded like cult to me - the weird love bombing and being over familiar, like those religious group that come to your door - collectors of souls.

@NormalNans "I read this as B&Q, was ever so confused" 😁

I had a strange experience once as a care assistant. I was visiting an elderly lady in a cottage with a long tree lined driveway. The visit to the house was all fine, nothing strange happened.

But as I opened her front door to leave I was suddenly terrified. I ran to my car, checked that the back seats were empty, jumped in and locked the doors and drove off quickly.

By the time I reached the end of her driveway I was crying with fear. I have no idea what it was but I felt in grave danger from something unseen.

I'm usually so level headed and not prone to freaking out about anything so I have no idea what it was. Nothing like that happened before or since.

I have 2 opposite but sort of both related to instincts I guess:

Bad- as a student I went to the flat upstairs to pick up post that my neighbour had somehow got and within seconds of going into his flat I felt really on edge. I kept thinking ‘don’t turn your back on him’ and we did a sort of dance around his flat with him ‘finding’ the post and me watching him like a hawk with my back to the walls. I couldn’t get out quick enough.

Good- I worked in a hospital as a healthcare assistant and was wheeling a man to x ray. I have no idea why but I felt such…light from him. I can’t even explain it, he just radiated GOODNESS as if he was some sort of angel or something. It wasn’t even anything he said that made me think ‘what a nice man’, it was just an overwhelming vibe he gave off that would have made me trust him entirely.
