heeby jeebies
Creeping uneasy feeling
Heeby jeebies (also heebie-jeebies) is a feeling of nervousness, anxiety, or creeping discomfort: That old abandoned house gives me the heeby jeebies.
The term suggests an irrational or instinctive unease rather than concrete fear—something feels wrong even if you can't say why.
