Be sure to check out the sequel to this video where I return to the haunted castle a year later: czcams.com/video/wzTf8rv732o/video.html
Watching Gavin run from a ghost grabbing his foot from under the bed in the name of literature cannot be outdone. A true hero among readers
I can’t imagine the people scared to death looking out their windows at the flashlight in the court yard convinced you’re a ghost 😂😂😂
Charles the ghost telling you to be careful is both terrifying and heartwarming
I'm going to update this pinned comment as I find more things, but there was seemingly a lot of activity that happened while filming that I didn't pick up on during filming or editing, and I've only just noticed (or other people have noticed) as I watch this vlog back, including:
- At 14:19 when I show the spirit board, the camera goes sluggish and slightly out of focus, as well as it looking like it's going in slow-motion.
- Around 34 minutes, there is a lot of screen flickering.
- Around 1 hour and 8 minutes, there's constant zooming and interference with the camera.
- At 1:19:30 there is a lot of shaking on the top left side.
- At 1:24:35 after I said I had chills, the ghost voice said “FLAME” which I didn’t pick up on at the time was a direct response to me saying I was cold, and the ghost telling me to get warm with a flame.
- I did get an email from the staff at Chillingham about the flies. Apparently they do live in the castle walls and it becomes a problem for them at this time of year. However, they couldn't explain the deaths of the flies. They do not fumigate because of the bats, so there isn't anything toxic to the flies in the room. And their life span is 28 days. I still can't explain why dozens upon dozens died at the same time.
So in watching this and surfing the internet, I came across cluster flies and found that when they live inside houses (in like attics and such) and then when they wake up (or whatnot) they try to leave the house via the windows and will actually repeatedly fly into the windows until they basically pass away resulting in massive amounts of flies by the windows. With the staff saying they are a problem this time of year, maybe that is what happened. Hope this helps. Bravo on staying there though. I wouldn't have so you're braver than me.
Your videos get better and better, honestly some of the, if not the best and most original content on Booktube 🎃🦇🕸👻
Aw thank you so much 🥰
Agreed!!
The “am I dead” genuinely made me so sad. Can’t help but feel that was probably one of the ghost children who was slaughtered that doesn’t understand what happened. Poor soul
Great video Gavin, had never heard of this place but now I have a new haunted location to be obsessed with 😂
I have to tell you after watching every second, this is THE best youtube video I've ever watched. The chapters were perfection, we had a great tour, history, books, inside, outside, the church, the cenetery.....Gavin, you have a gift. Thank you so much, from an older lady in Arizona. Lynn
You are so much braver than I am. If a ghost asked me "Am I dead?" I'm pretty sure I would've been joining them 😨
Haha I almost did 😂
I swear to God, I forgot at times that this is a reading vlog and thought this was a mystery movie or horror game. I really got invested in the investigation to the point that I wanted to know what happened to the ghost. The dead flies, the guy looking for any dead animal, like this legit felt like the plot of a movie in the best way possible. This ghost has some EXPLAINING to do.
The intro, atmosphere, scenery, tour, editing, EVERYTHING about this video was perfect👏🤌 So glad I found your channel!
Aw thanks so much Queen Kim 🥰
This is genuinely one of, if not, THE best booktube content I’ve ever seen. You’re doing amazing sweetie
Your chuckle after the cackles 😂😂 I love the playfulness and the ability to laugh at ourselves! 😄💚
I can’t do things seriously half the time haha
Your experience with the flies is particularly terrifying to me. Once I was up late reading and kept hearing a buzzing. I couldn't find the source. I went to my sewing room and started working and even over the machine I could still hear a buzzing. I checked on my sleeping children and all was silent. Back in my room the buzzing continued. Finally I checked the spare bath and there had to have been over 50 flies! An entire swarm. It was so scary. Something straight out of The Amityville Horror! Thankfully, I had a swatter, but it took me ages to kill them all, and I was scared the entire time. 🪰
The production value 🙌🏼 it’s giving movie vibes!! We are truly blessed ❤
Oh shucks 🥰
The amount of work, planning and care that went into this full feature film is unmatched. It was the vlog that kept on giving. I laughed, I was scared, I was intrigued, a true masterpiece!
Gavin, this is definitely your sweet spot. My daughter and I have been enjoying watching some of this every night. I can't believe that castle's history! 👀
You are braver than me, my friend. 🖤
The work you put in your content SHOWS . Top tier content!
Thank you 😭
Damn it, Gavin. I don't do horror books, movies, hounted houses, etc. I'm scared of my own shadow. And yet, I watched this whole thing because it was amazing. I'm so mad at you for making this vlog so good that I couldn't turn it off. lol damn flies
Haha omg thank you so much, this is the best praise ❤️
this whole vlog is giving “found footage horror film” and it truly is eerie😭
also, when you pulled out the spirit board, someone in my building started yelling, so that says enough to me😳😩
You warned me about the spirit board too, this really does just get scarier and scarier!
I've stayed at Chillingham Castle several times. We've had plenty of things happen in the twin room, tapping, footsteps, growling, voices, windows opening, and sockets turned off untouched. The wall that the Blue Boy was found in is the one with the locked door in the four poster bedroom, the pink room is on the other side of that wall.
Graveyard Charles has a wiki page. - "Charles Augustus Bennet, 6th Earl of Tankerville - Lord Tankerville died at the family seat of Chillingham Castle, Northumberland, in December 1899, aged 89."
He actually died at the castle, he's not just buried there because of family connections. Maybe old Charlie just wanted to look out for you. Little nearly-90yr old man, sat in a rocking chair, looking out over the guests at his castle, making sure the demons don't get them, 'cause it would be bad for business 😉
Awwww okay that’s so heartwarming and not scary at all!! Maybe I shouldn’t have been so scared, aw I love Charles ❤️
@@GavinReadsItAll he just wanted you to be careful! We love Charles!
The demon flies can get out though!
I can't even travel on my own, let alone to a haunted castle! You are so brave! I am selfishly glad by this so that I can live vicariously through you 😂 This video was amazing! And scared the crap out of me. While you were doing the first paranormal investigation, my little girl had snuck out of bed and whispered "mom" at me and I nearly jumped out of my skin! Ironically, she was out of bed because she said that she watched a show that scares her 😂
I had literal tears leaking out of my eyes during the investigation cause I was so freaked out!
It was INTENSE!!
your creepy videos are my absl fav - like the one when you stayed at that cabin and the amount of effort you've put into this doesn't go unnoticed - thanks for the entertainment to get me through Sunday night revision! ps 2 hours long idk what more I could ask for
Aw thanks so much, means a lot to me 🥰
THE INTRO ARE YOU JOKING ME?!? This is literal ART!!!!
Lexi 😭💙
OMG I was terrified along with you for the Paranormal Investigation!!! This was fun and scary at the same time! I would never be brave enough to do something like this!!!!
When you’re reading the journals I’m convinced a ghost was playing with your camera zooming in and out!!! CONVINCED!!!
Yes! It definitely does!
I agree! The camera never does that normally and there's no other reason why it should zoom so erratically during that segment. I was spooked when editing the video seeing how aggressive it was!
@@GavinReadsItAll I also noticed whenever you held the camera physically it did not do that. Only when you put it down!!!
When you said “Why is there something behind that curtain.” I was fully expecting Jade and Steph to pop out 😅
OMGGGGG that would have been epic (and arguably more terrifying than the ghosts hehe)
Absolutely loved this! I don’t think I would’ve lasted there by myself 😳 I’ll live vicariously through you
I want to do it again 😂
OMG the flies?!?
“Am I Dead?”
No way would I have continued after that, I could just picture what Gavin’s face looked like, wouldn’t of blamed you if you immediately went to pack your bags lol.
Seriously my face dropped! I have never been more scared in my life!
No, no, no! How on earth could you walk around in the dark like that?! I would have shit myself (pardon my French). You are the bravest and craziest person ever! ❤Thank you for a great vlog ❤
OMG when it said turn it off!! I would have ran 😭
"Are you a fan of How to Train Your Gavin?" 🤣 This vlog was one of your best ones ever. So creepy!
Haha thanks so much Dana 🥰
why do I always watch these things at night
Gavvv your coffee always looks so freaking good. Could you show us how you make it in one of your vlogs???
Oooo great idea, I've wrote down a reminder and I'm going to show how I make my coffee in my next vlog! Thanks for the suggestion 😊
I'm just now watching this. I was deceased, perished, cremated, passed away, D-E-D when you popped up with the scary music toward the beginning. lololol
This may be one of my favorite vlogs of yours yet! It’s so creepy, yet so interesting, since I also love medieval castles. I’m morbidly curious to know what the spirits thought of that Six: The Musical performance! 😂 Imagine doing it at Hampton Court or something…there’s been rumors of sightings of both Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard there!
Omg I’d love to perform for Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard! Also thank you so much for the kind words Courtney 🥰
WTF was up with the flies!? No sir, you couldn't pay me to stay there after I found that. You were like Sandra Bullock's character in practicle magic trying to find that beetle. Glad you made it back home safe, with an awesome video to share to boot!
Haha I really was 😂thanks so much Renee, so glad you enjoyed the video!
this is cinema!!!!!!
Wow at first I kinda thought the ghost app thing was just saying random scary words. But when it said Charles and you found a grave that had a Charles on the headstone- that was wild. Cool video!
Gavin has provided us with a Sunday Treat of dealing with a Haunted Castle. I’m rather intrigued. I feel Emily Brontë writing ‘Wüthering Heights’ now lol
Oh my effing hell, Gavin!!! I'm at the paranormal investigation part and I'm scared as f*!!! This video is everything (and more).
THE FLIES ARE TAKING ME OUT. That is genuinely terrifying
“Am I dead?” My jaw was on the gRoUnD
SAME!! I didn't know what to do 😂
I fuckin love horror and spooky stuff but this paranormal investigation is pushing me to the edge. Stellar work Gavin, and you are much, much braver than I could ever be omg!
Ahhh thank you so much 😄
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this video! It’s such a comfort to me. Just wanted you to know how much joy your content brings me.
Each time you walk away from the windows in the twin bed room there's a weird almost clicking noise...this is one of the best vlogs I've ever seen!!!
As the spirits requested 1:31:52 , I have PRESSed that like and subscribe button 😂 Entertained and terrified at the same time. Throughly enjoyed watching your adventure!
Hahaha thanks so much 😂
Just a note about the flies, but they're probably cluster flies. They travel and live in swarms and usually like living inside walls of old places because it's warm. Also, they'll be more active when it starts getting cold because they're looking for warm and dry places to live. They aren't like rotting meat type flies, they go after old food and rotting soil and stuff. If they get stuck inside, they don't last long. They fly towards light to try to get out, which would be the windows. If they don't eat for a while they die pretty quickly. It's creepy because of how we're made to think of flies, but those type aren't bad. That's just how they act. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble hoping it was a paranormal thing!
Imagine investigating a place that had swarms of those....it's horrifying when you walk into a place like that...that's why I researched it LOL!
Not the flies at 22 minutes! It’s foreshadowing
Honestly, the CONSISTENCY with which you upload one fantastic video with just the best consept after another is mindblowing.
Love your channel.💚
ok, you outdid yourself Gav! I'm not even halfway through and this is excellent, truly a production! All I can think of now is how incredible it would be you doing a colab with Celina SpookyBoo!!!
It's scary to think how certain historical periods and places were just fertile ground, even a playground, for all kinds of sadists and psychopaths... the Middle Ages have some of the most horrific stories...
So, I think the orbs on King Edward's Room were just a fly, and you did hear buzzing in there :p also, with the managers of the castle saying they have a problem with flies, it would then be normal for you to hear them, and for some of them too show up here and there! However, the saying "dropping like flies" really become oddly too literal...
The constant focus in and out of the camera while reading the diaries I would attribute to low light and the camera trying to balance the whites when the white pages of the diaries are shown.
In the beginning of the paranormal investigation you asked the name of the ghostie and then you had "flame" and "doll" being picked up. I wonder if "flame" was meant as the lamp beneath the portrait of Lady Mary Berkeley and "doll" as the figure on the portrait, and it was ghostie trying to tell you she is Lady Mary Berkeley?! The "monster" was creepy af, I would have run out of that room faster than my shadow xD PRESS!! She is a fan Gav and she pressed the like and subscribe!!
Perfect Halloween content, thank you 👻
Everybody who is not subscribed to you is seriously missing out.
Wow - legit a Narnia worthy wardrobe in the master bedroom!
After "Am I dead?" I would have been GONE! As soon as "Don't leave" happened I nearly ran out of my own apartment. The fact that you said sorry has me cackling though. Omg this clog had me tense.
Man... I am watching Gavin turn off the lights right before the paranormal investigation, and I get an add that starts with "Aint no sunshine when she's gone". 😂
Way to lighten the mood. 😅
the cup with the skeleton hand?! we love a CHALICE
This was absolutely amazing. I had no idea about this castle and I'm genuinely fascinated now. Gavin you did the damn thing! One of the hardest working content creators we have, we are lucky to have you. 💚
Absolutely loved the video!!
I hope this isn’t silly but I just wanted to tell you that watching your channel helped me out of a reading slump! Seeing you being so candid about books and making your content so entertaining really helped me get back into reading like I did years ago!! Thank you!
this is such a wonderful comment ☺️
So grateful that your videos exist!
When the Ghost cam said DONT LEAVE in the Twin Bedroom....Nahhh get that fire exit door Gavin!😂👻
Absolutely loved this 👻 ❤ you’re knocking it out of the park with content lately 😁😁
this was amazinggg, thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much Kit! 🥰
I’m literally so excited to watch this
Eek hope it doesn’t disappoint!
I must have watched this vlog at least 10 times now it’s SO GOOD
Gavin - "I've got chills"
? - "Flame"
Me - 👁️👄👁️ she wants Gav to start the fire and be warm *screaming*
Omg I MISSED THAT!! 👀
This vlog was so entertaining. Well done
The best content from you! You are so creative with your videos
Omg Charles told you to be careful!!!! We love Charles 😭😭💗
Charles, always looking out for me ❤
Oh my goodness I have so much to say about this!!!! First, it was BEAUTIFUL! I saved it for Halloween and I was not disappointed. I watch a lot of ghost hunting videos and this is the only one to actually creep me out and it wasn’t even technically a ghost hunting vlog, haha! I have to say two things: 1. The part where you’re reading from the journal and your camera is clearly trying to focus on something CZcams cut to a commercial and promptly glitched out. The screen showed one thing and was playing something else. I’ve been watching CZcams every single day for about seven years and I’ve literally never seen anything like it. Also, none of the commercials before, after or since have glitched out. 2. When you went into the twin room to show us the flies that were swarming in there, my stomach started cramping really bad and I felt like I had really bad diarrhea starting. I decided to wait until the chapter was over to use the rest room, but as soon as you left the room the symptoms vanished. It’s said spirits can travel through screens, which is something I really don’t believe, but I’ll admit that was weird and I kinda of feel compelled to attribute to the room. This castle is bonkers and I loved this vlog! Thank you doing this! I so appreciate all your content, but this really was something special!
This is my favorite video you've ever done. So good
Bless you Gavin ❤
As I was watching, just as you started the paranormal investigation, the wind slammed a door in my house. I shrieked. In the middle of the day. In my own house. You are way braver than me!!
Loved this video! So atmosferic and spooky! Also loved the diary entries! Happy Halloween!
You are much braver than I am! I was creeped out by that twin room and I wasn't even there. Also could not have been me going out to the courtyard in the dark. As soon as it said be careful I said nope! I would have been ready to leave. This vlog was everything! So enjoyable to watch. I had no idea until I started to watch this vlog that the castle was full of such dar history. Very sad and creepy.
"PRESS???
OHHH press that subscribe button absolutely and PRESS the bell icon to turn notifications on."
how does it feel to be living MY DREAM?! but for real this is so cool!
The Haunted Gavin Chronicles, coming soon a Possession Story 😂 I love these
Haha ok but this might be my future brand 😂
Excellent, tremendous video, Gavin!!💙👍👻👻
I absolutley loved this! The flies were so scaryyy!!
so ready for this ❤
Eek I hope you enjoy, I think you're going to be the very first person to see it, aaahhh ❤
This was IMMACULATE! You did such a fantastic job!
This was AMAZINGGG 😮 I truly had a very bad feeling during some of the tour footage of the castle, and the answers you got from the little machine ?? UNREAL ! I became increasingly aware of my surroundings throughout this vlog, like Is there a weird shadow next to me?
Anyway great great video and thank you ☺️
Gavin, this was perfection. I also love your hoodie ❤️
Oh my goodness GAVIN, this is my 5th time watching THIS video!! I've show my teenagers....Wonderful deep dive into the Chillingham Castle and grounds. Spooky fun, love your bravery and humor through it all. You've really outdone yourself 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great video! Can’t wait to rewatch and look for more ghosts 😂
Your vlogs are always so extra, I'm here for it, Chillingham just makes me think of that old show The Scariest Places on Earth 🤣
Just rewatched this, and Gavin, at 39:03 you definitely weren’t alone!!! There was a white shadowy figure right behind you!!
Absolutely loved this vlog. I watched it yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it! Amazing work, Gavin!
This was so amazing!! Love this video. So happy to have found your channel 😊 thank you for this great content
Not me laughing my head off at you saying you hope The Whistling blows you away 😂
This is the content I live for!!!!
I'm not sure if you know this already, but the grate in the dungeon is called an oubliette. They were made almost as a torture chamber, and prisoners would be thrown down there to essentially rot. Since the walls were so thin, they could not climb up, and considering that they got gradually weaker from lack of food and water, and couldn't sit down due to the small space, their bones would often break before they died. Just a bit of medieval history for you.
This was such an entertaining and fun video! What an experience. Loved it. Can’t wait to see where you go next!!
Most anticipated movie of the year! I’m so excited!
Haha hope it lives up to the hype!
Absolutely fantastic vlog! Loved it from start to finish! Amazing content Gavin 💕
This is such an amazing vlog. I've saved it until now because what better to view on a Saturday night when I am home alone. That Great Hall walk through...omg, chills. You are my hero for making this video! xx
