Ever get a creepy fearful feeling in a building?

An apartment that was built in the 1920's gave me such a creepy scared feeling when I went to move my
clothes into the bedroom. I got as far as opening the closet door and turned around to look behind me.
It was almost shear panic to get out of that room. The other rooms felt fine.
I tried again later and the hair on my neck I swear stood up, I refused to go in there again. I had the hubby
bring the mattress to the living room to sleep on. Even my cat hissed at the shut door of that room.
We moved out the following month. Never experienced that again, once was enough.
 

Wasn't me and wasn't a building but the husband of some I know just felt like he had to move out of a town because the had "a weird, nervous feeling" like he'd never had before; since he wanted to get out of there in a hurry, he could only find a subpar apartment (near loud college kids) in a nearby town but he didn't care since he felt like he needed to leave ASAP. Most of that town he left later burnt to the ground.
 
I worked at an apartment complex for elderly people. I worked in the office but they had a very old building that was a historic landmark and when I went into it, it gave me the creeps. Other workers said it was haunted and they saw ghosts. Well, I didn't but it was a spooky place.
 

I wonder what the heck that was all about Irish Eyes. If the cat didn't want anything to do with that room, something bad or evil was most likely attached to it. Good thing you were able to move out so quickly. To answer your question, when my husband and I visited my cousin in South Carolina, we stayed with her. There were some properties for sale not too far away. Even though we didn't seriously consider moving down there...we went to look at a couple of them. The first one was fine, just needed lots of updating.

When we toured the second house, which had mahogany trim throughout, I got a strange feeling while we were there. I told my husband if we lived in that house, I could imagine I'd be at the bar every night (getting drunk) and I don't drink! I can't even describe what it was that made me feel that way.
 
Many years ago while touring an old sanitarium (hospital) (that's what they called this particular one) that had been turned in to a haunted house...I happen to walk in to the Butler's kitchen and instantly felt this weird current of electricity go through me. Once I crossed the threshold to remove myself, that feeling left. Freaked me out!
Nobody else felt it.
 
Many years ago we were looking for a house to rent. I had my youngest child with me, and as we walked through this one house, checking out the rooms. We got to one particular bedroom and my little boy started crying and he strained in my arms towards the door.

I didn’t think anything of it at first, but on the second walk through, the exact same thing happened, just in that room.

I decided to see if this was just happenstance, so I moved around the house a couple more times, and each time I entered that room the same thing happened!

The house was perfect for us, and we would have rented it except for my little boy’s reaction!
 
I have been in abadoned buildings including closed prisions and a mental asylum, also homes and old barns, while those desolete places were erie none frightened me at all.

The one place that always freaked me out was an old root celler in my childhood home. It was an old farmhouse with a sandstone block foundation, there was a dark dingy celler and in the back wall was a hand built wooden door which opened into a small room which was a couple steps down from the celler. No lights, just that one door, wooden walls that were rotting away so it was always wet and nasty with dirt and roots all over, like being in a grave.

My sister still lives in that house and once in a while I'll help with something down in their celler, I always go open that old door and I still get goosebumps.
 
An acquaintance visited a historic insane asylum in West Virginia that's supposed to be haunted. They were walking up the sidewalk to the entrance and their young daughter suddenly turned pale, leaned over and threw up. She refused to enter the building; she said it made her feel "sick". They hadn't told the kids about the haunted aspect of it.

I've never had creepy feelings in a building. I have, on the other hand, felt great sorrow from a place. There is a beautiful little "folk" church in Chimayo, NM. I went into the church and sat down to admire the interior and was suddenly in tears. I sobbed my heart out. No reason, I just had to cry. I went outside, we walked around the grounds, had some lunch and I decided to go in once more. No sooner got in the doors until I was sobbing again. I cannot explain the feeling. I have researched the church and community and as far as I know, nothing really bad happened there.

I've been to a lot of places where tragedies happened and a lot of people died and have never received bad feeling...the Alamo, Gallipoli, American Revolution and Civil War battlefields and sites of prison camps, and others.

I'm not a religious person per se, but I consider myself spiritual. I've been places that felt particularly "holy", where I felt peace and comfort. They haven't always been churches.

I have no explanation for those experiences.
