Places with an eerie or creepy vibe

Gettysburg-even my husband who doesn’t believe in ghosts found it incredibly creepy as if we had some sort of presence standing near us while we were there.
Lowell, MA- I was a teen when my parents insisted we visit there to see old mills and I found it so creepy.
York, Maine dates back to colonial times and while it is very pretty, I get a creepy vibe from it. There’s an old cemetery and an old colonial jail that have an strange vibe.

A friend of mine's spouse was from Lowell. One of the siblings bought an old house, and they were there renovating it. My friend said they experienced odd things happening in the house, and the spouse is not religious, spiritual, believe in the afterlife type of person.

Lowell, MA is awesome. Whole family is from there. Eclectic restaurants and lots of history. But also a gritty city and I cannot imagine making a trip out of visiting the old mills.

I found chichen itza very creepy. Also Charleston at night. My teen dd swears a ghost was following us as we walked back to our hotel.

The Burren in Ireland. Such a weird landscape like the moon. It was eerie but interesting. I wouldn’t want to be there at night. Got similar vibes in the Badlands.

Weirdly I get the Charleston thing. I'd been there many times with my parents as a kid and enjoyed it. But then I went recently after not having been there for many years and it still looked pretty much the same. But there was just a weird vibe I noticed - like a glorification of its horrible past thats been now whitewashed as a tourist attraction. The sad looking horse pulling the carriages. I felt a little uncomfortable. Then there were all these 'influencer' girls walking around dressed in southern boho/hipster style and cowboy boots taking pictures in front of all the old houses. It all just seemed very odd to me. I felt like a fish out of water.

Any place where people smoke pot in public, or smoke cigarettes next to you, especially while eating out.
VA Beach has turned into a disgusting place.
Restaurants in Switzerland should ban smoking in restaurants and hotels.

Yes the Burren is definitely desolate and creepy! Interestingly, there’s a perfumery even farther out down a very narrow road with beautiful gardens, stone buildings and a lovely tea room. Was one of the highlights of my trip.

I was there on a day when it was fairly busy with school groups, but found myself alone in the area with the former crematorium. It felt like there was a presence.

I was surprised how normal and well maintained the outside grounds of Dachau were, almost like you were entering a park but knowing the horrors that took place there. I can’t imagine living in that town.

Were we on the same road-trip, in the same car? Stopped on the way to Nola, driving straight through on the way to Mardi Gras, of all of the sights I saw that week, Miss. gas station pee break at 4am was by far the strangest and otherworldly experience. Many, many lifetimes ago it still sticks with me.

I’ve also had this experience, specifically in and around Jackson. We used to drive to and from Texas every year. When we had to stop and get gas my husband told me to lock the doors. The only hotel I’ve ever checked into and then left was in Jackson.

Racist much?

Meh. There's plenty of white trash in Jackson too.

Whittier, Alaska gave me a creepy vibe when I was there years ago.

Another place is the Hoosac Tunnel in western MA. It's a 5-mile train tunnel built through solid rock back in the 1870s. They built it before TNT was invented, so they used nitroglycerin, which resulted in about 125 deaths during construction. Back in college, a friend of mine and I walked nearly to the middle of the tunnel. Mind you, there are no lights in there, and you can't see the entrance when you're in the middle. You're also about 1,200 feet under rock at that point. We didn't see any trains, but they do come through there from time to time.

This was many years ago, but I used to get strange vibes at some of the strip malls in Glen Burnie, MD. It felt like a time warp, back to US in the 1950’s or so. Very odd feeling.
I’m sure it’s changed since then, though.

I don’t know why I sensed a creepy vibe last time I visited GW Mount Vernon in the middle of spring.

Chimayo, New Mexico. Specifically a church that supposedly has "heaing dirt" in a back room. I visited around sunset and couldn't get out of there fast enough.
