I once got a serious case of the willies on a tour of the Alamo, one of the rooms just spooked the hell out of me, I had to get out of there quickly. Did some reading, evidently people see and feel things there all the time...

Go to Franklin, TN and go to the Carnton Mansion and see how you feel. I was physically repelled from that place. I've heard others with the same experience.

I don't know if "spooked" is the right word for my experience at the Alamo, but it is one of several places I have been where I had an episode of what felt like being frozen in time. My immediate surroundings sort of faded away like into the distance and for a few moments it was like I was there and feeling all the energy around me of events that had taken place there. It was more like stepping into a time warp. Gives me chills, even now, talking about it.

Two other such places were St. Simon's Island in Georgia, actually, in two locations there....the graveyard at the church and Fort Frederica. But the most intensely that I have experienced that was at Pecos Pueblo, in New Mexico, so much so, that I was drawn to return on subsequent occasions.

I had the same feeling at an old Spanish Fort in Florida

I have made many trips to the Alamo and never felt anything that I can recall now. There were always too many people there.
I did feel that way in a religious compound from the early 1800's in Pennsylvania (can't remember the name). I felt creepy and uncomfortable while looking around but when we sat down in the large high ceiling meeting room to listen to the tour guide, I thought I was going to choke to death.

I had to get out to breathe. The tour guide said that reaction is not uncommon there. I would like to have stayed longer to hear more about the place.
