So I’ve recently been in Milan, and one of the usual things we do on city breaks is have a wander around the local graveyards (morbid I know 😂) but we find all the sculptures and the various architecture of the buildings interesting. We did that no problem, but then my sister had heard about a church that was full of bones that she wanted to visit.

Off we went - it’s called Santuario di San Bernardino alle Ossa if anyone else is interested - and it has a room where thousands of human bones have been stacked up and skulls organised into crosses etc.

It was honestly one of the creepiest places I’ve been in my life, I couldn’t wait to leave. The atmosphere was so heavy, I felt like the air was literally pressing into my body, or like a huge shadow was just hanging around us in there. It took a while to shake off the feeling once we had left!
Has anybody else been there?

I haven't been there but I know the exact feeling you're describing. We visited a city in Ireland seeped in history over the summer and went to a museum. While pipe work was underway in the 80s, hundreds of human remains were discovered. Some of the bodies were painstakingly pieced together and the skeletal bodies of a young child, teen girl and a woman in her early thirties were displayed in the museum. An overwhelming sense of sadness and melancholy hit me while viewing them and it stayed the whole day. The graveyard was very much atmospheric and, as you described, the air was very heavy. Its difficult to explain in a sense 😕

Yes, it was such a hard feeling to explain! It was hard trying to write down exactly what the feeling was, but it wasn’t a pleasant one. 😔

I felt exactly the same in the Paris catacombs, it also felt really sad. I went to the Palermo catacombs though and that was a totally different feel, much lighter and calmer.

I have a photo where I'm absolutely beaming through my face mask as I was there during the panny d! Have you been to the Capuchin crypts in Rome? Or the catacombs in Paris?

My hubby once told me when he went to duxford Air museum he visited the little 9/11 stand where they have an actual piece of the twin towers on display, he was taking in all in when all of a sudden he said he was overcome with emotion, now he is not on outwardly emotional person at all I even joke with him about not having any emotion in his body at all
I know its not necessarily paranormal but there is obviously a lot of emotion around the time of that awful event and that day he really felt it, I truly believe belongings and places have residual energy that sometimes we can pick up on

I stumbled upon the crypts in Rome without quite realising what I was going to see… the sight of the decaying monks’ bodies was one I won’t forget.

Has he ever been to RAF Cosford Air Museum? They have a haunted Lancaster Bomber there.

I felt like this in the medal room at the Imperial War museum in London. Had to get out.

There’s a room in a museum in Liverpool that really creeped me out when I went! It was quite poorly lit, and I can’t explain it but I just had to get out asap!

There’s a motor museum somewhere or other, that I visited years ago. All fine until we got into a room full of carriages from 19 th century and maybe earlier. They were creepy as duck. Couldn’t get out quick enough

When I was a kid ( about 45 years ago) there was a part of the Liverpool Museum that used to freak me out. It was a small, dimly lit area that had cobbles and pictures of victorian slum streets with a soundtrack of kids playing ...
