Go places you haven't gone before. Take your time. Think of the age of the trees and houses, how the city you live in expanded and how there are older and more ancient lanes with aged houses. Those are my favorite, up in the hills near Prospect Park, or near Coldwater where the first settlements in the area were.
You just aren't looking hard enough or with the right senses, OP. You'll find it. heck, read some H.P. Lovecraft

This is pretty helpful, it's possible I just need to soak in the environment more. I was walking briskly before so I'll have to try this next time.
read Pessoa's Book of Disquiet.
