I had an odd experience when travelling through Ireland in 1992. We had visited The Burren in County Clare and I saw some information about a ruined church and thought it was worth a look. I was particularly drawn to seeing the carving of a head which was set into a niche in one wall. We eventually found the church which stood in it's own church yard in the middle of a field. You could see mounds across the field which were ruins of a medievil village. We made our way to the church and went straight in without even exploring the surrounding churchyard. The church was just the four walls, the roof having fallen in. I had only taken a few steps into the church when everything started to spin and I felt like the walls were closing in on me. It felt very claustrophobic which was odd considering how open it was. I said to my friend that I had to get out of there and we left, but I had this really strange feeling with me all day.
We got on with our trip and I didn't think anything more of it. I didn't even know what the church was called or have a photo of it. It wasn't till years later after I had returned to New Zealand and started on my spititual path that I had any insight on my experience. I asked a clairvoyant about it and was told that it was a past life experience. I have since asked in meditation what had happened there and it wasn't pleasant. After some research, I happened to find a photo on some random persons holiday blog. I also found out that it had Templar connections which is also connected to my experience. So if anyone is travelling through County Clare take a look at Carron Church. It's a beautiful spot with a not very nice past.
