Creepy, odd places you have been

[JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff]

I have been dying for a good creepy thread for ages so thought I'd start one

Two stand out for me -

Doing the Dales Way with DH, we stopped one night in a tiny Dales hamlet. 2-3 houses, pub, church. That was it. Not much to do and it was a summer evening so we followed a public footpath through a kissing gate and went for a dip in a deep stream.

When we came back the same way about 30 mins later, someone had nailed 3 freshly dead voles to the gate.

Also, on holiday in France, staying in a rural villa, I went for a run early one morning. Ran past a back road signposted to a quaint sounding village. Decided to take a look. Down a narrow wooded road for a hundred yards, quite a dark road, then out into bright August 8am sunshine in a naice little village.

It was the vacances and the place was deserted, but it was just.... off. The cars were on the drives in most cases, but the shutters were all shut. No dog or cat, not even birdsong, just dead. There was a local noticeboard where the most recent notice was from the previous October. It was a lovely day but the whole place just felt dead. I tried to be brave for about 5 minutes and then cracked and fled, back down the dark road, with the strongest feeling that something was right behind me, just like when you're a kid going downstairs in a dark house and you daren't turn round to look back at the landing.

Anyone else have a creepy place story to share?

So weird! I know this was posted years ago but your comment about Blackpool is very similar to how I felt when I visited. Iv got family and friends who love it but I felt so uneasy when there. Also the morning that we went I can remember seeing a dark shadowy figure in the kitchen. I’ve never been back since.

Nothing to report but watching with interest as I LOVE a creepy thread!

There's a place near me, where I sometimes have to go shopping and either drive, or if having a drink, get a cab/bus there (Elmers End).

It has a huge green in the middle of a roundabout and 1930's houses coming off it and a parade of shops.

On a couple of occasions, I used to get, I dunno, I suppose a sadness about the green, nothing huge but just sorrow. It's not the type of green you'd hang around though really, has unused and listed public toilets there, it's not that attractive.

Googled it and found out that more than it was the green used for hanging people back in the olden days, 15th/16th century and was probably how the site got it's name.

The Catacombs in Paris. I was the only one visiting them that day and did the whole tour alone. It was very creepy but didn't want to look like a coward and turn back so I pushed myself to walk the whole tunnel and tour and I felt I wasn't alone there. One of the few times in my life I've been afraid of something paranormal.

Around the time of the first Iraq war, not long after the fist Iraq war, I remember my parents, especially my mother, telling us to have a bag ready to go, day or night. I didn't have, but I wonder whether this was the threat she was responding too.

The only other time I saw her so freaked out and stressed we both heard mens voices singing in an ancient empty abbey....

Uggh yes the arches. Horrible feel.

Which college was it in, do you remember? I’m curious.

My SIL was at Oxford and says she saw a ghost there where she lived. Quite matter of fact by it, not that bothered about it and she’s also not really a woo person either. Must ask where she stayed.
