As a future ghost, I've enjoyed this video.
You in the future---> 👻
I'm also planning my ghostly afterlife! Lol
Ha ha, pretty funny! ❤️🎃👻
Planning some unfinished business?
ghost buster🤪
Resurrection Mary was on unsolved mysteries. I think this should be a whole series. I love ghost stories!
As she's walking toward the cemetery, she vanishes. Just as the subject of gas money was about to come up. That's one of the best lines EVER!
There is something to the Grey Man story. I grew up about 20 miles from Pawleys and worked there for several years. I met an older couple who had a visit from the Grey Man telling them to leave there beach house before Hurricane Hugo hit in 1989. They did. The spooky thing is every house nearby was destroyed, but theirs. Theirs was perfectly fine, even the beach towels on the porch were untouched by the storm. There are lots of great ghost stories from Pawleys Island and Georgetown SC.
Wait, the ghost told them to leave and their house was fine?? Next time, say their house was destroyed. That's a better story
And you believed them?
@@dannyschaible7112It is a weird detail to include. Ghost says leave.....for apparently no reason since it can allegedly shield your house. Nonsense.
Dude, I remember that story that "miracle house "a green wooden house 🏠 👻🪓🔥🔥🔥🌜☠️
Unsolved mysteries, Robert Stack, 1987👻👻👻👻
Your voice is perfect for story telling! Never stop doing this...well, until you can't.
😂
Kinda sounds like stephen colbert to me 🤔
I was even thinking James Woods
Nah he'll come back as a ghost and continue

A perfect Sunday before Halloween episode.
Heck, that's nothing. I have a sister-in-law that is so scary and spooky that a big group of ghosts sit around a huge campfire late at night and tell stories about her.
😂😂
There’s a lot of mother in laws out there that ghosts are absolutely terrified of as well!🤣
I lived right across the street from an old tuberculosis hospital and I believe I had a spirit living with me in my apartment. It felt like someone sat on the bottom of my bed everynight and I would smell a rose scent about 3:00 AM. I am totally unscented due to allergies, so this was not something that I brought into my house. I always felt like the spirit might have been someone from that old TB hospital. When I moved, I told the spirit they could come with me, but they didn't. I've not had the sitting on the bed sensation (same bed) or the rose scent in my new home.
I live in an assisted living facility which has been around a few decades, and most residents leave here feet first. Every so often it feels like my room is haunted, and then the feeling goes away. So I don’t know, maybe the ghosts of the former residents are sneaking around looking for jello.
That was kind of you to ask. Makes me sad in the good way.
That was very sweet of you to offer the ghost to come with you to your new house
So, The Grenbrier Ghost has actually been made into a stage production and is produced every few years by the company I work for, The Greenbrier Valley Theatre, State Professional Theatre of West Virginia. In the past the cast has even included ancestors of Trout Shue and the prosecutor John Preston. If anyone is interested, it looks like we are re-mounting it for the 2024 season. It really is a fascinating tale.
The public library in Green River Wyoming was built on top of a graveyard that wasn’t properly relocated. Bones still make their way to the surface on occasion.
Strange things happen there at night and people who have stayed overnight alone have come out… different.
There’s a policy in place now that prohibits anyone from being in there alone at night.
Could make an interesting topic for you. There’s also the Chinese massacre that took place in the next town over, Rock Springs, when the railroad was being built.
Who spends the night in a library? lol
@@ginapocanprobably meant working overnight
Maybe@@livewiiiiire
For anyone curious about The Bell Witch, The Lore Lodge just made a really in depth video about it.
IIRC, there is research that points to it is the spirit of an enslaved young woman whose grave was (supposedly accidentally) disturbed. I could be wrong, and am looking it up now.
2:10 "The Grey Man of Pawleys Island" is a fascinating segment!
As a current ghost i enjoyed this
Well, this was something. Eerie. Perfect before Halloween.
So sensual and erotic
The ghosts stories that were on the show they had on the Weather Channel called " America's Supernatural" ( great show!!!) Showcased at least 8 ghosts stories that haunt an area in relation with the weather, that included the grey man.
You could do multiple videos about ghosts in the US. There are so many.
So true!
“Cold hands with a warm-“ cuts to commercial, and all of us with our minds in the gutter are thinking the same thing. 😂
This guy has such a good mix of scary and comedy in his voice. His goofy comments make it seem much less creepy 😂
I remember hearing the first story from MrBallen.
I'd like to be out shopping somewhere and hear this narrator's voice I'd recognize it instantly LOL
Thanks for this! 👻 While discussing the pirate *Jean* *Lafitte* you mentioned Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is still in operation... but it's not making horseshoes or anything like that. It's a bar. That's a handy fact to know if you're visiting New Orleans. #WeirdHistory #Halloween #Ghosts
Do they sell T shirts or other branded merchandise? Because that stuff would be totally cool to have as a souvenir.
@@amyfisher6380 I never saw any there, Amy... but I just checked their website. They do sell t-shirts and hats via mail order.
@@amyfisher6380they do, on their website, if you Google Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar
I spent many childhood summers on Pawley's Island and as soon as I saw the title of this video my mind went right to the Grey Man. But I didn't actually expect him to be talked about on here, especially not in the second entry. Pretty cool.
I love that you covered some stories I haven't heard before! Great video!
5:33 Going on The Queen Mary Tour would be awesome!
It absolutely is. The ship is amazing. I lost my mind when I found out it was a filming location for Quantum Leap and The X-Files.
I toured the ship when it first arrived in Long Beach. It was like being on the " Titanic"... very elegant.
@@Princesspuffer Did not know that, that is awesome!
@@thegreencat9947 I like those cultural experiences where it is based on authenticity instead of luxury and comfort.
Imagine getting ready to do chores only to find a body.
Eh, he wasn't really going to do chores. He was a kid lol.
My friends all worked at the Queen Mary in the early 2000's! I loved all the stories they would tell me about things they'd encounter by themselves or together.
“Just when the subject of gas money is about to come up…”
This made me choke 😂😂 Weird History: never let this guy resign from voicing your videos! If he wants a raise… you pay him. If he wants a pony called Buttercup… you buy it.
He is your greatest asset.
I have stayed at the Queen Mary. A few years ago, my wife talked to the staff. They would tell stories of unexplained incidents they had encountered.
Cool.
So sensual and so erotic to hear this
We went in the ship and joked about the supposed haunting the whole time.
Then I was going up the stairs by the wheelhouse and something just felt super off and wrong about halfway up the steps. I have no fear of heights or anything like that it was just really creepy there.
All the haunted “hot spots” I didn’t feel a thing but I felt something really upsetting in that spot and that alone
And did you have any experiences during your stay?
My guess is that it’s all BS put out to get people to pay for tours.
Sliver shoes leaving flowers for her fellow deceased is the kindest ghost story I’ve heard
Can't believe there was no mention of Large Marge!!! 🚛 👻
Paul Rubens is smiling at this ... in spirit ( RIP ♥️)
Speaking of ghosts...on Halloween Day I am going to watch these Halloween Specials:
x It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
x Garfield's Halloween Adventure
When I was a kid those ghost pirates from Garfield's Halloween Adventure scared the sh*t out of me lol
I like "Scared Shrekless" ....." Hocus Pocus" Sleepy Hollow...
@@jimmyjimjims7483 Me too! Especially when they opened the cabinet Garfield and Odie were hiding in!
@@thegreencat9947 Will check out Scared Shrekless never see that one before!
Hocus Pocus and Sleepy Hollow are Halloween-type films!
As a Tennessean, the Bell Witch tale only draws in tourists. It’s a run of the mill witch tale that has somehow lasted through time but when you think about it, it’s just a simple witch tale. Nothing special. I’m fact it may have just been a cover up for a murder. Anyway. It’s used as a tourist trap now
The movie based on the Bell Witch made me so mad because of how it deviated from the source material. I grew up in Tennessee so the story has a place in my heart. The best telling of it was by the great storyteller Jackie
Torrence.
@@Princesspufferyeah that movie was...not great. Had it's moments but, yeah.
Native Tennessean here as well, and as a kid at slumber parties in the 60s we would do some sort of rhyme about asking the Bell Witch to appear as we turned three times in front of the mirror, our version of spooky campfire tales.
Where's the Ghostbusters when you need them?
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Such a great and spooky video!
Oh wow, I can’t believe West Virginia was the first story on here! Nobody mentions us, but I think we have a couple cool ghost stories 🎃💗
Thanks I'm gay
Happy Hauntings, y’all🖤
3:43 Willows Springs is a ghost town right by my hometown, my uncle used to go to elementary school there!
More videos like this please
Awesome thanks as always
If I get murdered I’m gonna come back as a ghost and rat out my murderer 😂
Thank you for this video! 😀🌻
How about a Weird History of historical predictions made about the future - it's pretty crazy what people thought we would accomplish by now!
My mom worked on the Queen Mary in the late 1980's, I remember going on board once as a kid and its just a massive thing to see. Of course the tour guides filled our little heads with all the "oooh there's a ghost in the boiler roooom" nonsense. My father worked at The Hotel Del Coronado (also in San Diego) in the mid to late 80's as a bar tender in the palm court and claims he saw a woman in "old clothes" float down the hall one early morning while doing inventory (among a few other strange things he said happened). Not a real ghost person myself but strange to hear as a kid
Definitely as a kid things are much scarier!
The Hotel has a tale regarding Kate Morgan, a young woman rumored to be shot by her husband or boyfriend in the 1890's.
I love ur channel!❤
This narrator is fabulous. Don't ever use anyone else!🤩
Time to call Sam and Dean.
11:14 I graduated nursing school on June 12th, which is Red Rose Day.
On the date I graduated (June 12, 2015), the band Ghost played a concert.
On their setlist was "If You Have Ghosts."
2:47 On the CZcams video "80s Childhood Fears" by The Holderness Family, quicksand is included.
I've heard about Resurrection Mary since I was a kid. Most of it's bull, exploited by the ghost tours (like a bar that pours a shot for her every night... At the bequest of a ghost tour guide, lol.)
But it's apparently true enough that I don't pick up hitchhikers near cemetery! 😁
Large Marge....
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
This time eating Pop Tarts* while drinking coffee (Bones Army of Dark Chocolate)^...while watching this Weird History video!
* From the thumbnail of the Weird History Food video "What Was the Most Popular Junk Food From Every Decade In the 20th Century?"
^ From the Weird History Food video "Incredible Things Coffee Does To Your Body"
Please keep on the ghost videos absolutely wonderful I'll never stop watching.
We watched this tonight, Halloween. Perfect!
Please make one about hospital ghosts. There are lots of them!
Cool vid. Some ghost stories you forgot are Chloe from The Myrtles Plantation; Marie Laveau from NO,LA; and, The Brown Mountain Lights.
I like to think the first one, the mom was super sus, but didn't have any evidence and she was being blocked out by all the men, so she's like, "Yeah, so, my daughter's ghost came to me and said he totally did it."
Right on time
There is an apparition that appears near an apartment complex in Yorba Linda, CA. In front of the complex is an old cemetery in which she is buried. Growing up, my father used to take me to that cemetery and I've visited her grave numerous times (A lot of our family were buried in that cemetery). Her grave is the only one marked with a white picket fence completely framing her plot.
The Pink Lady, as she is called because she appears in all pink, is seen occasionally in the nearby area. Ghost hunters frequently go the cemetery to see if they can catch a glimpse of her. The cemetery used to be open to the public during the day, but now cannot be accessed due to numerous vandalisms and paranormal enthusiasts wearing down the area. Only by appointment would anyone be allowed to pay respects to who is buried there.
Haunted history, cool!
I believe a nurse in Chicago, a Filipino woman was killed in a fire, but later communicated with her co-worker to solve her murder.
I am from Chicago, that is a true story.
I spent most of my early life in the chicago area, and resurection Mary is definately a fixture there. I have spoken to many people who claim to have picked her up and had her disappear. I heard she is very sweet and thankful for the ride but has a very sad demeanor
I don't know if it's still in operation but, there's a place called "Bobby Mackey's Bar" that was prone to supernatural occurrences
Okay, with my headphones on, you actually got me on some of the ambient sound effects.
I lived not far from Willow Springs il . From grade school to High School we'd always spook each other out with Resurrection Mary ! 😊
I have heard the story of Silverheels since I moved to Colorado over 50 years ago. The story goes that she contracted smallpox herself, and went off alone to die. There is a mountain named in her honor, Mount Silverheels., near present day Alma, in Park County.
I like the story of Silver Heals best, she sounds like she had a wonderful soul.
Now she is one.
Happy Halloween in advance ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈🎃👻
Happy Halloween 🎃
I grew up near where the The Fox Sisters home was. It does not still stand there. It has not stood on the site since the 1980s. The only thing that is there, is the foundation, which is now inside a covered building to protect it.
I love ghost stories.😍🥰
0:11 The Vilisca Ax House House (haunted house in Vilisca, Iowa) had a creepy rocking chair like that.
A video about the Lemp family and Lemp mansion would be great
Ghost video right around Halloween. so shocking
Watching ghost stories should have been scary but this video was too entertaining and fun.
I've done the Queen Mary ghost tour. It was pretty good.
10:05 isnt Charles Russell in this picture? 2nd from the left at the table.
You should do a video about how haunted Savannah Georgia is
I just hope if ghosts are real then they would show themselves more
Well, they aren't.
Ghosts are the vibrations of previously existing individuals. The only reason that they exist is when THEIR reality and ours overlap. Like a Venn diagram of two (probably several) realities. 😉🖖
Well they Try Ghosts 👻/Spirits Syphon Energy ⚡ from Things like Electricity 🔌 & Many other things, Some are Successful whilst other 👻 Ghostly figures take the form of Light 🕯️ Orbs.
ooh... not me. Spirits, Sasquatch, UFOs... i do not want to see them. I think they are possible, but don't want proof! 😯😄
As a North Carolinian we have a couple interesting ghosts stories, Blackbeard's ghost is one of them, there's a ghost hitchhiker around Grandfather Mountain and the most famous is probably the Brown Mountain Lights, their less of a singular ghost but a collection of ghost lights you can occasionaly see.
I was always told the Brown Mountain Lights were more extra-terrestrial than paranormal
Some of those ghosts seem quite benign, gentle - even perhaps friendly. I think the ghosts of Resurrection Mary and "Silver Heels" would be the ones I would talk to and pray for the most, and for me personally, it is very dangerous to directly commune with the dead. It is strictly forbidden for me to commune with darker forces.
Not enough ppl understand this. They can, and do, attach, which is not good.
Why you gotta pop up before going to bed?🤣
That first story has a similar plot to the "Red Barn Murder" in the 18th century.
came back to this video to hear the narrator's voice again. New guy was not bad but you know we love the narrator's voice here!
Holy crap the knocking at 6:07 made my heart skip. I blinked as it happened and yeah... lol
Intresting. There are many Ghost stories where I am from. In saratoga there is a road called brag road. There is a story of a headless horseman which was probably borrowed from other stories and then the more famous Ghost light. But these were pretty interesting.
Need mkre of these
Visited Mary Bregovy’s grave this summer.
2:10 Um if the woman died due to childbirth "Where's the baby?"
If they're so famous, why can't I find their social media accounts? If you can summon up the PKE to float a candle, you can post a spectral selfie!
Man... The dead are so lazy.
more time line series plz
You forgot about the most famous amongst American Ghosts: _The Ghost of Christmas Past._
7:25 There is a ghost at Doane University named Emma, she lives at the Conservatory.
When I was in Doane Players (the theater club at Doane), she was talked about a lot.
The theater department pays even more attention to her now, almost like they adopted her!
gotta love the narrator 😂
Please do a video on Centralia, Pennhurst Asylum and Eastern State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania.
Since I have already seen the second Thumbnail recommendation, I am going to watch the first (The True Story of the Conjuring...) and The Exorcist: Inspired By the True Story of Roland Doe
The Shue case isn't the only case of testimony from a ghost. Everyone knows the story from Unsolved Mysteries about the Nurse who died, and came back and told her Coworker. "Voice from the grave"
We don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia I wish we did great video
Zona Heaster Shue "The Greenbriar Ghost" has a historical marker near the cemetery in which she is interred.
Love this episode it was entertaining and it really amazes me how people think ghost are real🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:23
Blacksmith shop still open today? Who uses it? 😂😂😂
How about an episode about the Amherst Devil? I think you will find it quite weird indeed.
