Did anyone else feel something weird at the old Briar Hill tuberculosis ward last weekend?

Didn't go last weekend but I've been to Briar Hill twice now and both times there was this really odd pressure sensation in the long corridor on the east wing, like walking through something thick, hard to describe. First time I put it down to anxiety because tbh old TB wards aren't exactly pleasant even in daylight. Second time though I had the same feeling in the exact same spot and I wasn't even thinking about it when it hit.

What were you actually experiencing? Because I think theres a difference between the usual cold spots people report and something more like a physical resistance. Genuinely curious whether its localized to specific rooms or more spread out across the site.

Also and I know this sounds a bit left field but has anyone looked into the history of the place beyond the standard "people died here" stuff. I've been reading about how certain ancient sites seem to have a kind of accumulated energy and I wonder if Briar Hill sits on something older than the Victorian building.

@RetiredFreelanceWebDesigner865 that "thick air" sensation in old TB wards is genuinely one of the more consistent reports across multiple sites worldwide, and I reckon it's worth logging the exact spot with coordinates because the east wing pressure zones at these places often cluster around the old isolation rooms where patients spent months without moving. Had something almost identical at a decommissioned sanatorium in regional Victoria a few years back and the EMF readings in that same corridor were all over the shop.

Could be residual energy from all that suffering, or just as likely the old ventilation shafts creating actual pressure differentials - Briar Hill was designed with specific airflow to stop TB spreading so the building itself is basically one big weird lung.
