  • Brought forward in time, digitised for widescreen, this ghostly double feature provides a pleasing couple of hours of historical rather than hysterical ghost investigations.
    Presented by BBC/SKY/DISCOVERY host Liam Dale. "I'm often asked how my interest in making Ghost programmes was formed. As the son of an Irish Catholic mother and Scottish Protestant father, born in Cornwall, it's fair to say that Celtic blood runs thickly in my veins.
    As well as a childhood growing up in spooky old houses. But probably the greatest influence comes from discovering that I had become a recorded, written about ghost in my own right and lifetime. For the full tale watch this program. It’s a classic example of "Never let the truth get in the way of a good ghost story".. As a punishment as a 7-year-old child I was banished from my bedroom and made to sleep on the turret floor (really) featured here in the opening story."
    From there we move on to Chawton House, home of Jane Austen, reputed to still walk the creaking floors, down into the mines known as Clearwell Caves in The Royal Forest of Dean for knocking dead iron ore diggers, Chavenage House with the tales of the dastardly Oliver Cromwell and on to Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, the site of the tragic murder of Edward II, unjustly imprisoned and so badly mutilated when killed that his remains couldn't even get taken back to London and he was buried at Gloucester Cathedral.
    ONWARDS to part 2 - In THIS program, we begin in Bronte Country and the ghostly influences of Haworth and the Yorkshire Moors. From there to the foot of the British Isles - Cornwall. King Doniert, The Knockers at the tin mines, Edgehill - Battleground of the English civil War.
    Then to my local castle - St. Briavels in the Royal Forest of Dean. When my sons were young, I rented the castle for a birthday night, and we all "slept" in the ancient prison cell. Lastly, across the River Severn to Berkeley, and the home and site of sights of Dr Edward Jenner in and around his house, grounds and local village.

    Oh great, just discovered this while looking up the Stately Ghosts of England. Lately, here in the US ghost documentaries seem to consist of self proclaimed experts chasing dust motes around old buildings through night scopes and getting hysterical for some reason.

    • @izmepeggy1
      @izmepeggy1 Před 10 měsíci +4

      I watched the Stately Ghost of England not long ago. It was on CZcams also. I first saw it when I was 15, I'm now 69 years old. LOL

    • @MeMe-nw9mq
      @MeMe-nw9mq Před 9 měsíci +9

      @tense99…a most accurate description. If the place isn’t really haunted, let’s just run around like a bunch of loons, pretend to be possessed by whatever the heck it is (Zack Bagans, anyone?) and continually ask “Did you hear that?” when there hasn’t been any noise whatsoever aside from the inmates running the asylum that are masquerading as “paranormal investigators”. 😂🤣😂🤣

    As sad as their lives were, and for many their ends, as miners; it's very emotional how many stories there are from around the world of people who've become lost or a little disoriented in mines, and a miner helped them find their way out. Such a goodness in spirit. Bittersweet, but they are some of my favorite stories to hear.

    ''As the son of an Irish Catholic mother and Scottish Protestant father'' Mine were an Irish-Catholic mother and a Scots-Irish Protestant father . We were bought up Roman Catholic and my dad got an earful i heard . You will understand how well that went down in 1950's Northern Ireland Liam .😟

    Liam's voice was made for telling ghost stories . I think it was him that i talked to briefly online a few years ago about being an altar boy setting up our local chapel for evening devotion in winter with snow falling and the wind howling and the graveyard right there on the premises and i was in first and absolutely alone . Not as much frightening as spooky but that is normal in both Ireland and the UK . A lot of my relatives in that graveyard and i suppose i will be too but hopefully not for a long time yet . :-) This man is made for this type of thing . There should be a Liam Dale day for heaven's sake . 😃

    We have knockers in the States. We call them Tommyknockers here (or did, before a certain horror story was written,) but the lore is almost identical, excepting the Jewish bit. Like Cornwall's, they seem to bridge the line betwixt ghosts & fae, & may well have been brought by Cornish immigrants.

      The legends I've heard specifically came from the mining communities of Kentucky. I can't recall precisely which county, & I'm not sure if these stories still survive or not. But they where here - and what comes rarely ever fully leaves, as any lover or student of ghostly lore well knows.

    BORING. Too much minutiae about Jane Austen. We are told what people saw in flowery language, but we never hear what witnesses saw in their own language. NOT ENOUGH EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS !!! Too much waffley, padding !!! WASTE OF TIME.
