A few caves have felt that way. And when i was on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic, lights out.

A street in a French town. Turned a corner behind a church and went from crowds, noise, businesses to no one in sight and eerie silence. It felt like we'd stepped into a liminal space where nothing lived, and sound from just around the corner might as well be in another dimension.
And I absolutely do not mean "bad neighborhood" vibes where Abdul and his buddies are giving you the stink eye or some Sub-Saharan asshole with a surplus uniform and an AK is debating coercing you for bribes. Those are visible threats that I can roll with. This was like turning a corner into a liminal space where you can see the next road intersection a few minutes walk ahead of you, but every hair goes up on the back of your neck and you have the unshakeable feeling that if you walk that far, you're never going to be seen again. Not shanked in an alleyway, but back of a milk carton gone without a trace like you just slipped Underhill in a fairy tale.
Maybe 50 or 100' down that road the friend I was walking with looked at me, and I looked at him, and we both said "We're turning around right now." Absolutely skin crawling for both of us, like a dream where suddenly everyone disappears.

Just your moms pussy....... j/k it's was a fucking nightmare
When I came of age I struck out into the world and left my family behind. I was a painfully shy and weak boy in a man's body. A few weeks after I used my one-way ticket to a new place, I found myself in a seaside town in a part of the world I had never been. The waves were gently lapping at the red brick road that ended in a pier. Leaves danced on the brick as the smell of cool brine air permeated everything. I had the most uncanny feeling that I had been there before or saw it in a dream; and yet the feeling was also one of needing to be there. Nothing of importance happened after that. The girl I was with eventually left my life and I never went back to that town. However, I knew that God was speaking to me in some way. I was on the right path.
