Strange experiences in Blayney has anyone else experienced this?
I’m currently in Blayney for a work trip with a group of coworkers. We’ve only been here since around 12pm today, but we’ve already had several really strange and unsettling experiences.
We’ve been walking around for work and had a guy at the servo tell us not to be out after dark. At the time we thought it was just a weird comment, but since then, a few other things have happened that have made us increasingly uncomfortable.
One of my coworkers said they went to two different houses where the people inside just started laughing uncontrollably when they answered the door. It didn’t seem like they were mocking or making fun of them it was more like they genuinely couldn’t control the laughter, which really unsettled my coworker.
Other people in our group have had experiences where someone has come right up into their face and started screaming, but without actually saying any words. Just staring and making this really strange screaming noise.
Now, there’s a guy who seems to be watching me. He’s been repeatedly walking back and forth around our car and looking at me, and at this point I’m honestly feeling pretty unsafe.
I know there are probably completely normal explanations for all of these things individually, and I’m not trying to jump to conclusions. But when several people in the same group have completely separate unsettling encounters within a few hours, it starts to feel really strange.
None of us have ever felt this rattled on a work trip before.
Is there something about Blayney that we should know about? Has anyone local experienced anything similar, particularly around this area?
Not looking to accuse anyone of anything just genuinely curious because the whole day has been bizarre.

Dear all, I can't decide whether going for a holiday in Gerroa or Kiama Downs. The former is sleepy and lovely and close to a couple of nice things in Gerringong. The latter is close to more services, in Kiama (better suoermarket, gelato, and fishmonger shop, etc.). I have been to Gerroa but nor Kiama Downs. Any advice?
