| About ten years ago I had work in Oruro Bolivia, this town is at 4000 meters, it was cold as hell. The town had no real hotels so I ended up stating in a total shithole where the door had an hole straight through the frame into the hallway where a bigger keyhole should have been. There was only one outlet so I had to choose to either use the space heater or the TV during the hours before I was going to sleep. At night when I was going to sleep the whole in the door started freaking me out and I was worried somebody would break in while I was asleep so I did what I never thought I would have to do and pushed the bed against the door hoping if somebody wanted to break the weight of me in the bed would break their entry. Well nothing happened but I hardly slept and raced back home as fast as I could that morning. |

NP. I made that drive from the Albuquerque airport to Santa Fe at night. Dark, dark, dark, and empty. I remember screaming to myself in the rental car, “Stay awake! Stay awake!” Toughest drive I have ever had in my life. |

| The homestead in Virginia. Felt like we were in the shining. We cut our trip short and came back home after a night. |

| 4th grade class in an area catholic school with a teacher who was a sadistic religious fanatic. This was the mid-1980s. (Let’s see if any others who suffered under her reign of terror are here.) |

| I feel very uneasy around the White House now that there is a convicted felon rapist in there. |

| The Hotel Ukraine is Moscow which is a large Stalinist building. I’m not easily creeped out but I couldn’t even walk by it. It casts this long very cold shadow and it just made my stomach seize up. I mentioned this to a Russian friend at the time and she said it wasn’t surprising because they used to use it as overflow space for political interrogations or political prisoners. I don’t know if that’s right at all … it wasn’t finished until after Stalin died so that seems less likely but maybe during the 70s? Or maybe Stalin used the unfinished building for that purpose? I have never had such a strong sense of bad mojo though. And it’s not just the archiesture because the building at Moscow state university is nearly identical and did not creep me out. |

St. Augustine. I love the town having real psychics but the energy there was what I loved. But u think there's a vortex there which I think I may have felt but didn't understand at the time.
Gettysburg - man I felt the heaviness so many years ago and never went back. No ghosts but just the heaviness - very strong. I'm an empath though. I can walk through a house and pick up vibes. I once left touring a home for rent, I was so uncomfortable there after just a couple min. and found out later it used to be a funeral home! But what's interesting going to Sedona, I feel nothing where people say vortexes are, but I've felt them elsewhere in places I found out later there were. I really liked Smokies and Tetons. Both felt really strongly natural to me over other natl parks I've been in US. Joshua Tree to an extent as well. I don't feel weird in New Orleans but I do feel weird in Baltimore. |

| This is weirdly specific but the law library at Yale. Yale generally has sort of a creepy vibe with that cold gothic architecture. When I was there you needed to take an antique elevator (with a hand crank) to get to the basement and then manually move shelves to get into the stacks. It was so cold and creepy and just had the heaviest most depressing feel. I literally had to psyche myself up to go down there and had chiclen flesh on my arms and chills up my spine the whole time. Haunted by the ghosts of miserable lawyers I guess. |

+1 Agree, it was sickening, esp combined with the heat and smells of that part of the city. |

I went as a kid and loved it. It was really pretty there. I still have the teeny tiny copper vases and pots I bought for my doll house. |

I'm the empathetic poster and I also feel weird in upstate NY. I don't prefer it up there at all. I've only been once though. I just know it was upstate but not sure where. I don't feel good in Vermont either though - I know it's so weird as everyone talks about the beauty but I don't like the energy where I was by Lake Champlain  I don't have a prob with Santa Fe but I do feel vibes driving out of the city limits. Not bad vibes but vibes.

| A whole section of Baltimore is so run down and decrepit that it looks like a war zone. Drove through it once and couldn't get out of there fast enough. |
