Did anyone else feel weird near the old caretaker's cottage at Waverly Hills?

Never been to Waverly Hills but that cottage thing rings a bell with somewhere closer to home for me. There's an old groundskeeper building on the edge of Durlston near where I live in Dorset and I always get a weird heaviness near it, like the air's thicker or something. Hard to explain without sounding daft.

With shadow people specifically I've noticed they seem to cluster around liminal spaces - buildings on the edge of larger sites, doorways, that sort of thing. A caretakers cottage on a property like Waverly would fit that pattern pretty well I reckon.

What kind of weird are we talking? Physical sensation, visual stuff, or more of a feeling? Would help to know what others experienced before I wade through the whole thread.

@DefinitelySigil groundskeeper buildings and caretakers cottages are genuinely one of the most consistently active location types I've documented over the years. Something about the combination of residual energy from years of solitary occupation and the liminal positioning of those structures - right on the boundary between cultivated and wild land - seems to create conditions that are really hard to ignore with equipment.

I got some of the clearest spirit box responses I've ever recorded at a gamekeeper's cottage on the Levels here in Somerset. Nothing dramatic, just very consistent directional responses that didn't match the ambient radio bleed you'd expect. Did you actually get close to the Durlston building or were you just passing? Because proximity matters a lot with residual sites, theres usually a kind of threshold you cross where the feeling shifts noticeably.
