Strange, frightening (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eerie

This clue is a double definition.

'strange' is the first definition.
(eerie means odd or strange)

'frightening' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for eerie that I've seen before include "Ghostly" , "Spooky, creepy" , "Uncannily strange" , "Sinister" , "Mysterious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
