Well, this is a bit far removed from anything that this board is about, but it is called miscellaneous for a reason I guess. I'm not normally a very superstitous individual, and dont get freaked out about things very often, but I found that following somewhat strange.

Has anyone ever been to a place that just down right gives them the creeps or been to some place that just gives off a very strong bad vibe?

I was hiking behind my house the other day. It is very serene and peaceful back there, and ended up going a little further than I normally do. Eventually I came to an area of the woods that for no reason at all, just gave me a very creepy, eerie vibe...my dog that was with me even picked up on it and became very submissive and whiny.

Than today, I was hiking with a buddy back there, and we came to the same exact area, and without me saying anything about my impression of the area to him, he made a comment about how the place was really giving off a negative, creepy vibe to him. Kind of odd.....Im not really sure what to think about it....

Sometimes gut feelings are right. Plus if your dog had a curious reaction, it could reinforce that something is amuck. Canines see the world different then we do.

Not so sure how often I would keep heading back there . . .

I saw this in a movie. Take this hint: When you run, don't look back! In the movies, they ALWAYS trip when they look back!

If you must go back again, wait until after the NJ gathering!

Playing frat houses always give me the creeps. Not like what you experienced but it is a very uneasy feeling.

Well superstition apart there has been some scientific investigation into this, sometimes the earth's magenetic field waves can eddy through the earth at different points.
Some animals use this as navigation, they say we all still have it but have lost it through evolution although if it is powerful enough we still may sense it, as mentioned dogs are very sensitive to the enviroment around them.
This creepy eerie vibe could be more powerful magnetic eddy currents leeching through at this area.
Glocke..is there absence of bird song?, this could be the cause.

For all the exposure to civilized we are still hard wired to some very primal emotions that we absolutely depended on when we were lower on the evolutionary ladder. I've only experienced them rarely but I've learned to trust them implicitly.There's a reason they happen (magnetic fields notwithstanding) and too much thinking/questioning might not be in our best interest. If I saw the dog feeling it too you would've seen my back getting smaller in the opposite direction!

For a good dose of the creeps check out some H.P.Lovecraft. Several of his stories feature places in the woods like that.

I had an apartment once that I think was haunted. I had regular nightmares while living there. I didn't have nightmares prior to living there and haven't had any since moving out about 15 years ago. And it was infested with scorpions.

Do you get the same feeling when you visit your in-laws?

For me? Montpelier, Vermont. Or just about anywhere in Vermont.
