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

Did you notice any change in barometric pressure, or any lowering of the temperature?

Not trying to ridicule, just interested in what you remembered..

My wife and I went during the summer, hot muggy day, late afternoon. We visited the little Civil War cemetery thats between it and a golf course (I think thats how its arranged) first. No problem there.

Then drove around to go in and got to the point on the drive where the house came into view and I just put on the brakes. We drive with the windows down and air off a lot. My wife grabbed the dashboard. I said something like "No freaking way am I going up there." My wife said "Get me out of here." I put it in reverse and we were gone.

This is not a normal situation as we have visited hundreds of Civil War battlefields and cemeteries. We visited the Carter House, Lotz House, etc. that day and had no problem.

There was no temperature drop, if anything, we both felt hotter and sweatier, sort of like in dead air all of a sudden.

Haven't experienced anything like it before a since. It was an extremely oppressive and malevolent feeling. I'll never go near the place again.

I've encountered a few other people (3-5) who say that they experienced something similar there (after I related my experience), and a larger number who say that they had a nice pleasant tour of the place.

No idea, maybe it was heat stroke. But it was certainly freaky.
