Has a house or a certain location ever given you a weird/uncomfortable/uneasy feeling ? There was nothing wrong with it that you knew of but you just wanted to leave ???

No, I can't say as that has ever happened to me, Mingo. Now, I have been in someone's house that smelled like cat pee and that made me very uncomfortable and anxious to leave.
Have you? Details please.

Ok, long ago in the first marriage stage , my husband and I were looking for a farm to buy. I can't remember just where this particular farm was but it sounded like what we wanted..fixer upper with lots of land.
We drove up to it and I remember the yard filled with logs (?)...the house was gray. It was a sunny day but it seemed dark in the house which certainly did need fixing up. I remember being in the kitchen and living room, both of which had very old-fashioned cracked linoleum. It was the most depressing, chilly house. I couldn't wait to leave and never bothered looking at the land. I didn't say anything to my husband right away but he told me how he really didn't care for that house, it was creepy.
When we got back to the realtor's we asked about it's history and he said something about all the children died with their mother and the husband was gone. That's all he knew or said he knew.

Maggie, why would I get the idea you aren't taking me seriously ?
OK, Smartas>, I was at the site of an old fort in Arizona , so beautiful but eerie, moving..... and later read that people alledgedly had seen "things" there ..like figures walking, and they heard voices.
Funny thing about that place was that I didn't want to leave!

Do you have Indian blood by any chance? Maybe you are a reincarnate of Little chiefsmokeingweed and you were feeling your roots?

We live near Chickamauga Battlefield Military Park, and whenever we drive through there, especially at night, I get a little case of the willies. Other people claim to have seen strange things, although I haven't personally seen anything.
Here are a few links. It's rather interesting (and kinda creepy!) to read about, especially Ol' Green Eyes.

Interesting links!
A place I used to work was located in an old warehouse complete with non-working freight elevator. Besides the fact that it still looked like a warehouse, it was creepy. You'd hear strange noises, lights would go on and off, and you'd hear noises from the old elevator, which we were using for storage. I used to be the one to open in the morning. When you opened the front door, it was pitch black and you had to walk about 10 feet to the light. I used to get the creeps walking those 10 feet in total darkness.
I finally did some research on the place and the area. I found out that it used to be an Irish shanty town and that two Irish prostitutes were murdered in one of our back rooms. Coincidentally, I also found out that my grandmother was born in the house across the street! Her parents were Irish immigrants.
We ended up moving the office out of the space. According to the building's owner, he could never keep tenants in that particular space in the building.

An American Indian egyptologist told me of her hippy friend who lived in a house in Rhode Island.
It was an abandoned house and he must be squatting,he had no electricity or gas.
During Xmas,he placed a christmas tree in the living room with no decorative lights,just a tree.
While he was talking to a visitor in the room,they both saw a lite in the tree,not the bright lite lit by electric bulb,but bright enough for them to notice.
Then the lite around the size of a sphere started to travel across the room and move up the stairs,and after a few steps,it stopped and then it disappeared.
A few days later,he got curious and started digging behind the stairs and there was a dead woman buried there,it was a closet at one time.
It turned out that this woman had cancer and her husband killed her and skipped town??
anyway,he had her buried and left the house.
He recalled when he was living in the house,the furniture were there and when he went to bed at nite,he sensed there was something which will land on the other pillow.
You see ,spirit has weight,we may not see it .
They can also materialise if they want you to see them.

I was once kidnapped by a super race of army ants.
Mostly they just bit me, and didn't get very far with me, but it was spooky nonetheless. I still notice every once in awhile, if I look down at just the right time, I swear I see them.

Yeah I had that feeling after I stepped out of the White House.

those who bot houses in Houston proper and did not bother to check how much is property tax get the same eerie creepy feeling after they receive the bill from the city.
Their neighbors are like blood suckers lurking in the dark ,their house may have the same market value as yours but appraised much less,so they are leechers who pay less and enjoy the same frills from the city as you the new buyer.
Your real estate agent who sold you the house and just waved his arm when you inquire how much is tax should be fed to the hungry lions in the Roman sports arena.
Yous should get front seat next to the ceasars and take home the lion share of the feast,it should cut down your grocery bill and free up the badly needed cash.

I've gotten that feeling too, Mingo like you just need to leave and it's bad there - also when we were house hunting I could tell when I walked in the door that it was a no - not necessarily because it was creepy, but because I just couldn't envision myself there. On the other hand, when I looked at my current house for my dad and stepmother to purchase, I knew right away when we drove by it that I would be living here.
My Dad lived in the Virgin Islands for years and fixed up a 1700's house that had been known as haunted - the former owner had 2 exorcisms done there and she later disappeared while flying her airplane to another island in the Carribean - she and the plane were never found. The Discovery Channel actually did a story on it in a segment called Haunted Houses of the Carribean - I always felt something there - but it wasn't bad.

ever heard of the Bermuda triangle??
I would rather live in a haunted house than to be haunted by bill collectors,GE repo men,IRS tax auditors or Fuller Brush door to door salesmen.

There is this coffee house one block north of the main street into the town of Marine on the St. Croix, in Minnesota. Super scary. The woman all wear early 1900's style clothing with the mormon hats and blah dresses. The men look like they should be in Utah with the rest of the Amish. And this isn't Amish country. Beautiful town, but the people are nuts.

Profe, stonecold, the psychopath thinks that I live in that town, he is a stalker and quite sick and thinks it's funny to mention it.
THAT quaint little town IS small, mostly filled with extremely wealthy people who keep out the garbage and wierd strangers like stonedead . It's a "gated" community that doesn't need an actual gate.
Now for the funny part ...I don't live there(I'm hardly a millionaire)...it's only an address
But sick old pathetic stonecold has NOTHING else in it's pathetic life but to stalk me
And obviously has NOTHING to do on it's precious Christmas morning but post garbage.
Must be sooooo lonely and desperate it resorts to stalking
