Dark, Mystery And Fear

[Rajesh]

Hello Everybody

In Our Language "Hindee" There Is A Beautiful Word (Sanata) Which Means (Dark With Strange Fear And Mystery In It). You May Say:

There Was A Terrible( Sanata) In The Abandoned House/ In The Srteet, Etc

I Would Love To Know Which English Word Would Best Suit Here

Thanks

An English word with that definition that comes to mind is 'eeriness' or the adjective 'eerie'. You could say:

There was an eeriness (or an eerie feeling) about the house/street, etc.

Dear Conchita

Thanks a lot

But does eerie have to do anything with dark??

Waiting for your response

Eerie doesn't necessarily mean dark in the sense of without light, but you could say it is related to dark as in obscure, foreboding, sinister, concealed, secret or mysterious.
