I took a road trip in early December, 500 miles and three states away, to a major city (all by myself, too, so extra Libra kudos *winks*) and the energy was just phenomenal... loved it, loved everything about it! I mean, the only other big city I've vaguely liked was Atlanta and I still don't like ATL all that much. *snorts*

Coming home, I swear it was like I heard prison doors closing at the state line. :/ Just an immediate funk and all my joy fled; it felt like a weight on my heart and a fog in my brain. Plus I started thinking about having a cigarette when I'd gone without for almost two weeks...

I'm not alone. BestGem and my sister both say the same thing happens to them when they get X far away and then come back home. There's definitely some kind of ick spirit here, for sure.

I'm sensitive to vibes along with many other abnormalities. I hate going to wally world (walmart).

I suspect where he is speaking of.

btw, I'm thinking of getting a pistol and attending a concealed firearm class. What's weird is, this feeling has overwhelmed me lately; not sure why although I'm rolling with it and not question. Strong intuition plagues me, good & bad, so I have to listen.

Astrocartography will tell you which places are better for you specifically.  Sometimes you just know intuitively. I hate where I live though I was drawn here strongly many years ago.  I'm assuming my transits are giving me itchy feet but I can't do much about it now or in the future due to finances.  Hoping for a white knight -- from out of state!

This is an interesting thread.  I think New Orleans is creepy but then I wouldn't be the first to make that statement.  I have to think there is something evil in the state of Washington that spawns serial killers and has the highest suicide rate.  Do you think the rain brings out the crazy in people?

Wal-Mart. Shudder. Although I've never encountered a "good" Wal-Mart, some stores are so abysmally awful I go into a depression for several hours after leaving. I visited an abysmally awful Wal-Mart with my mom and son yesterday.                                                I was born in Texas and keep returning against my finer instincts. I look forward to the day I can leave Texas and never return. I feel drawn to Portland, Oregon but haven't even visited yet. Considering flying there for a few days next year. I also like the idea of moving to Santa Fe eventually but the yuppies have pissed all over it. I'll have to accumulate some Fuck You funds (saw "The Gambler" yesterday, loved it).

When I lived in Florida, I sometimes felt that way about it.  On the surface it was 'beachy', but underneath it's dirty, dirty, dirty. 

I have a theory on this.

I think this sensation is very strongly related to swamps. It is, at least, for me.  Immobile, black water not going to anywhere. Many religious beliefs around the World seem to make this connection, too, and I think I originally made this realization reading about pre-Christian believes of Mari People living at the Ural Region and still practising some shamanistic religious ways that probably were more widespread all across Eurasia.

We have large area of swamps where I'm from, I don't go anywhere near the swamps,  because I feel something there. Florida is the same. There are all those supposedly pretty residential areas with channels which I just found creepy. And sure enough, the short period I was there, there was a freak murder at one of them just 10 miles inland to where I stayed (by The Ocean, which is too big to hold that energy, so, pure and relaxing to me). Venice, Italy, has that undercurrent of evil too.

It would be interesting to know whether these areas that make Rhino uncomfortable have been swamps.

That is so funny you say that; when I was a kid, and I heard about a lot of really weird and brutal murders happening in the midwest, I thought it had something to do with water too- or the lack of ocean or far proximity to it.  

The ocean or large bodies of water are very therapeutic, and I had *hypothesized* (when I was like 10, mind you) that people did these terrible killings because they were so far away from the ocean.  I think there is a lot of energy in water; it can clean, baptize, nourish.  Not a lot of elements can be used so multilaterally, you know?

The Midwest, though known for more than a few creeeepy serial killers... has A LOT of water. Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes and Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan border the Great Lakes... which are some of the largest lakes in the world. Also, there are a lot of rivers.
