Have you ever felt the presence of evil?

[Petridish]

I mean, without having any rational reason to feel it? It could be a person or a place.

For me, a friend's father used to really radiate evil - much later, my friend confessed that he had been physically and emotionally abused by his father

I also knew a woman who had a senior job with the police. She was a friend of a friend and I had a bad feeling about her. She eventually got struck off and imprisoned for stealing huge amounts of money from a children's charity she was in charge of.

When I was a student shared a flat with my best friend, it was a big 2 bed on the ground floor of a Victorian house, really nice flat. My friend is very non-woo but from the minute we moved in we both felt really uneasy, neither of us felt comfortable being alone there and we used to meet up after lectures so we could go home together to avoid being alone. There was a really heavy oppressive atmosphere and it was always freezing (we also got broken into twice and when the police came they commented on how cold it was - warm sunny day outside). Lights used to be switched on when we'd left them turned off, things fell off the walls, footsteps in the corridor. Constantly had the sense of being watched and if I ever slept alone there I was terrified, couldn't turn the lights off. My flatmate told me after we'd moved out she'd felt someone touch her shoulder several times when she was in bed.
The atmosphere was really weird - never have felt like that anywhere else - kind of electric and like there was something there, all the hairs on my neck used to stand on end all the time. Never felt alone there but not in a good way. Another of our friends had had lots of woo experiences and she came round to visit - we hadn't said anything to her as we didn't really talk about it as we didn't want to acknowledge it was real - and as soon as she came in she commented on the atmosphere and said, something bad has happened here.
There was also a cellar which was as big as the actual flat - there was a door off the kitchen with stairs down and looking down the steps into the dark was so horrible that we kept the door locked at all times.
One day we came back from lectures together and both went to our rooms and my friend came rushing to get me and her room was covered in blue ink splodges - the ink was still wet, it was on her records, curtains, the walls - like someone had shaken a fountain pen all over but we didn't have a blue fountain pen in the house.
We moved out after about a year but have never experienced anything like the feeling in that flat - even typing this now 25 years later is giving me chills!

Yes, my ex-girlfriend

I'm not usually woo but something strange has happened to me this week.

Tuesday night - woke up at 11 and felt far too hot, so got a drink and opened the front door, stood on the step drinking it. I live in a nice area and I've got a good view from my step, so not usually concerned about strange people hanging about. I got a sudden intense feeling telling me to get back inside the house and lock up, so I did. It felt like there was something hideous there but I couldn't see it.

An hour later there was a fatal car crash 30m down the road.

30 metres, not 30 miles. I can see where it happened from my attic window.

I feel like death was hanging around waiting for the crash.

Whilst I do t really think I’ve felt what I consider evil I definitely pick up on negative energies and intentions around certain people
It’s really awkward at times because they tend to be really good at masking and it seems most people around them seem to like them but there’s been quite a few cases where something had just felt really off from the get go and eventually they turn out to be nasty people

There's a photo of Hitler standing in the entrance to Langemark German Cemetery in Belgium. I went and stood in the same spot and just felt so cold.
Also when walking around the rest of the cemetery I just had a massive feeling of sadness.
Visiting the other various war graves didn't give me the same strong feeling.

Yes, I get a bad feeling about my boss... lol, I do have good intuition though so I swear I'll be proved right one day

Yes, the first time I laid eyes on Hameron the pig porker.

😀😀😀

This is a very old thread that I started reading, and people kept mentioning Kamloops, which I Googled. Years after the posts the remains of 215 children were found there.

Just googled this. Also, there was a smallpox epidemic whereby loads of native Americans succumbed to the introduced disease as they had no immunity. So, a lot of tragedy in that area.

I’ve felt evil twice. Once a house I was babysitting in. The children were all asleep whilst I watched tv. I just felt that something evil was in the room.

second time we had a visit at work from one of the execs. She came round us all and I couldn’t speak, I wasn’t intimidated by her but just felt so uneasy. A lot of us felt the same way about her.

I wouldn’t exactly call it evil, but dh and I once looked at a house that seemed perfect on paper - the best we’d seen by far. But there was a horrible, cold atmosphere inside - I don’t mean the temperature - we were in only for a few minutes - I couldn’t wait to get out.

Never felt that anywhere else.

I would have expected to feel this in Auschwitz - the museum and Birkenau, where there are more ruins - I didn't feel anything -but peace.
Anyone else been there ?

Very old post that I'm replying to, but I too find Glastonbury grim, it sets my teeth on edge.
I ''Ought'' to like it, but out just feels really sinister and off. {Haven't been back there for many years though}
We went onto one of the book/crystal shops t on the left hand side as you walk up the Main Street, and the shop gave me really bad vibes.
Definitely one of the most disturbing places we have been to.
Probably it is to do with the type of people it attracts.

Mum went, and she found it very depressing and heavy, as one might expect.
We visited the Imperial War Museum in London and there was a Holocaust exhibition downstairs- that too had a very heavy, sad vibe {unsurprisingly} - the Shoes, a red one in particular really affected me- It spoke of a young woman on the brink of adulthood, full of joy, and then she was forced to go to a Death camp wearing her favourite red shoes.

That is such a terrifying nightmare to have.
I hope you are free of these dreams now..Like a horror film.
Mum as a little child used to have dreams of being chased up the stairs of an old house they lived in by a black shapeless thing she called ''Black Ouser''.

I have.

I studied the Holocaust for 3 years so I’m extremely knowledgeable when it comes to Auschwitz - I was expecting to feel tormented and very upset walking around.

I’d heard the stories of not being able to hear the birds sing many times.

It was April and the weather was stunning - I could hear birds singing away and this is what was horrendous to me; it felt so wrong that a beautiful day and birds singing was part of that horrific landscape - I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that I didn’t feel devastated walking around. I think this might be due to the fact that what happened there was SO atrocious that I can’t even fathom it, but I handled it fine.

Theres a place in Liverpool called The Cottage Homes, it used to be an orphanage many years ago and to me, the buildings at Auschwitz didn’t look too dissimilar to that complex.

Certain areas did affect me such as the death wall and Block 11, but others I was absolutely fine. The sheds at Birkenau were hard to wrap my mind around and my boyfriend at the time genuinely thought they were showing us a farm of sorts.

I am ‘sensitive’ so to speak, if you believe that kind of thing, although very sceptical got to see it to believe it kind of thing - I thought I’d definitely pick up on some evil there but no, nothing. Which almost gave me relief because I want the feel like the remains of the souls who were killed there are free from torment in their, albeit tragic and truly awful, resting spot.

My SIL. Everything about her is just strange and “off” I could never get close to her and didn’t really want to. Turns out I was right about her.

My friend’s ex husband. Something was just “off” about him. I went round her house once with my son, who was about 2 at the time. As soon as he entered the room my son ran to the other side of the room and kept whimpering, refused to play near him, or even move a few steps further into the middle of the room nearer him. It was so obvious it was embarrassing and in the end me, my son and friend went over the road to play in the park.

I never did work out what was going on there. On the face of it he was mild-mannered, polite, supportive around the home etc. So odd

Some of these have given me the absolute willies.
A couple of mine - I was looking for a room to rent, I trotted off to look at one of the many I had enquired about. Anyway, the room was in a man's house, he was the only inhabitant there, but the room he was renting out was decorated specifically for a female. If was genuinely a beautifully decorated room, but it didn't match the rest of the decor of the house. The bloke looked like a classic 'sits behind a computer screen perv' - overweight, long curly scruffy hair, and a leery expression. He gave off such a bad vibe that I couldn't wait to get out the house. He kept saying 'you can move in straight away, we can sort money out at a later day.' I just knew if I took that room that something bad would happen to me. Once I was out the house, I felt relieved, I felt safe. A good few years later I saw in the local rag that he had been done for child pornography and other sexual offences.
Another one is the ex of one of my close friends. I met my friend at a baby group and had never seen her then BF, but when I was in town one day, in our shopping center play area with my son, in walked my friend's little boy and his dad (her then BF). I said hi to the child and introduced myself the dad. He gave an off vibe that I immediately disliked him. It turned out I was right to as he is a narcissist. When they split up my friend showed me a photo of the two of them together - the way he was 'hugging' her wasn't in a loving way but in a controlling stance, his arms were right around her neck and body, locking her in place, and the expression on his face, the grin and eyes just oozed evil. The disturbing thing was my friend's face, she looked terrified.

A place that has given me an off vibe was done in Somerset. We went for a monday-friday holiday and stayed in a bungalow just outside Watchet. We went during August but the town seemed dreary and dead. Anyway, one evening me and my OH walked from our holiday let into the town for a non-alcoholic drink and we grabbed some chips. There were no buses available and we couldn't find a taxi, so we walked the mile or so back. Once we left the town, we had to walk down a country lane. Now the dark as never bothered me, but walking along there I felt genuinely spooked. My OH didn't feel it, but I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched and a general feeling of unease. When we left to go back home, we traveled the night before as we live in the midlands area, so to beat traffic, and I couldn't wait to get out of there. It was only when we left the area where we were staying and were a good 5 miles away, that I felt I could relax. When we visited Minehead while down there, I didn't have any ominous feeling, it was only while we were in Watchet and just outside of the town.

This thread has been going 10 years now!

About 10 years ago, I was asked by my near neighbour to feed their fish between Christmas and NY because they were away. This is a house I had been in quite a few times - the fish were in her DC's room, in the back bedroom upstairs.

So the first night I went over, couldn't find the light switch for the stairs, thought meh, I can make it! Walked up the stairs and along the long landing in the dark, towards the back bedroom, and honestly, I have never felt so spooked in my life. It was freezing cold, and pitch dark and I just felt there was something evil there watching me, from the front bedroom by the top of the stairs.

Anyway I switched on the bedroom light, fed fish, and then walked back. To this day, I don't know why I didn't try to find the hall light - but I didn't - priding myself on being a grown up non-woo sort of person, I just insisted to myself that there was nothing to be afraid of! Walked back down the landing, down stairs and out - forcing myself to resist the urge to run, and couldn't bear to even glance at that front bedroom doorway. My heart was thumping like crazy - I've never felt such an oppressive atmosphere ever. I felt that something would grab me.

The next day I sent DH - he claims not to have felt anything!

Funnily enough, the final day I braved it during daylight hours - and the atmosphere was completely different - the house was warm & friendly feeling. It's not like I'm afraid of the dark - I just can't understand why I was so spooked, it was like something evil was present. I've never felt anything like I did that night.
