When I was at primary school, about 6 years old (this was mid 1970's), we had a day trip to the Longleat Estate, Wiltshire.
It's a beautiful Elizabethan manor house in grounds and was built in the 1560's. It's the home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Bath.
My mum came as an extra pair of hands to help out.
During the tour, mum noticed I appeared to be watching something moving. She asked me what I was looking at. I replied, 'The pretty lady in the grey dress'. She couldn't see anyone.
At the end of the tour, she spoke to a guide. Evidently, a previous Lady Bath has been seen. They call her the Grey Lady.
By the way you wrote this can we assume that you don’t remember this happening to you?
@@Pollicina_db I remember it very clearly. She looked as real as my classmates and everyone else. What about how I wrote it made you think that?
Have a lovely day.
My cousin's name is Sandra.🎉
@@dawnrowlands2408 The way you went from You telling the story as first person to your mom as first person!😮
@dawnrowlands2408 The second sight of children ? Many of us have abilities when very young that materialist conditioning causes us to lose. Imagine if these abilities were encouraged, instead of snuffed out.
When I was a child we visited Chillingham Castle on a school trip. We were greeted by an old lady who was dressed in period costume and spoke strangely. She told the bus driver where to park. Later in the visit when asking what she was called we were told she wasn’t a member of staff and was not known to anyone. Scary eh?
Let's say...wonderfully spooky
Defo bean sidhe
omg i'd love it
You allready told that happend to you in the Tower !
You're à liar. 😮
@@bastiennietveld7128 it did happen. I am not telling lies. You need an open mind.
This was fun to watch. The scariest part is that a group of humans did a “drag hunt” on Easter with a dead cat covered in anise seed. Live humans can be creepier than any ghost.
I think we are the stupidest,most crass species on the planet. What the heck?!
@@pheart2381 The sad fact of it is that humans are effectively vermin and the planet would be FAR better off without us! Other members of the animal kingdom DO act in some of the same abhorrent ways that humans do, such as rape and murder (Rather than killing for food), prime examples being other members of the 'Great Apes' such as chimpanzees, and this sort of behavious has also been seen among dolphins, but it's nowehere near as common as it is with humans.
I feel sorry for the cat I’m a Wiccan I don’t harm anyone my spells are only for protection of family friends and homes
@@alisonsavill8191 I really would hope that they used a cat that was already dead, rather than killing one specifically for the purpose, but back when it happened sadly I doubt if it was!
The brown lady was proven to be a fake
Here is a fun fact Dorothy's father Colonel Robert Wapole aka Rob Snr. currently holds the world record for the most overdue library book with the book the Archbishop of Bremen being overdue by a total of 288 years.
@mathieuleader8601 Imagine the fine !
Dread to think how much he owes in our money now, be thousands I expect?
😂@@adamgorelick3714
Absolutely love the balanced view on these. Not just assuming everything is supernatural and trying to be sensational.
In the 80's I knew the Chauffer and cook from RAYNAH HALL, a husband and wife, who had been their most of their lives, they were both in their 70's then. Both would talk about the ghost, both claimed to have seen her and neither were frightened of her. In their words, "She was part of the family."
'Been there'. Thanks for info.
1:21 The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall
11:08 Black Annis
17:21 Ghosts of the Battle of Edgehill
23:20 The Devil's Footprints
34:25 Madame Pigott
Actually, it was easier to make double exposures with the old cameras because they required longer exposure times. You could make a blurry image by having someone move during the exposure. You could also make them look transparent by doing a half exposure with them absent and another half exposure with them present.
The story of the 'Brown Lady' turning to smile at the men behind the door, complete with that eerie photograph, is truly spine-chilling!
I'm more shocked that the men were wearing only shirts and trousers. Thats truly scandalous.
Hooray! A new Fire of Learning video! ❤
Have you ever heard about Headley Grange? Its an old home in the English countryside that has long been runored to be haunted, and was used by bands like Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and Fleetwood mac as a writing/recording retreat.
Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks in particular were into the occult. She's been a professed witch for decades. I would assume that Led Zeppelin was also into the occult. You need look no further for the cause of the haunting.
I haven’t heard or read the story of the spectral battle of Edgehill for nearly 40 years! By sheer coincidence I’m sat in my bedroom at my sisters 17th Century cottage in Kineton ( pronounced Kine -ton as in Pine btw 😊) looking out the window as I write at the escarpment of Edgehill where the battle was fought. The sun has set and a misty gloom has descended… ( my small black cat Simpson is watching too! 😂)…quite atmospheric although you can still hear the M40 traffic nearby. I always look out to see I can see anything….will report back if I do!. Another excellent video 😊
Almost 20 years ago when I lived in London, I had a very creepy experience while walking in the Finsbury Park Cemetery, in a late afternoon, in December 2004. As soon as I entered into this location I felt almost immediately a weird feeling that left my spine cold, but I walked in anyway. After a few dozens meters I couldn't continue anymore. Three or four persons who where seat down along those alleys, did not stop staring at me (and so far I don't know why). I tried to go ahead but this weird feeling kept me from going on. I remember the next Saturday I invited a friend to go along with me in this cemetery as I'd like to take pictures of some tombs dating back to the early 1700 (here in Brasil, we do not have those so old cemeteries so I thought it's interesting to take pictures of them so that I could show it to my friends) but I hadn't said anything about my weird experience I had week before. When we entered into this cemetery, again, some weird people who were seat down in the same place as they were in the last week, started staring straight at me as if there's only me in this cemetery (and there were lots of persons passing by! As I was accompanied by this friend, I kept walking through that alleys in that dark afternoon. However at certain point, one of those persons who stared at me, stood up and headed straight into my direction without even blinking. To avoid eye contact I veered off and pretended I was taking pictures of some tombs nearby. This guy stood behind us without saying a word. My friend then says to me "Falcon, is it me or those guys are looking fixedly at you?" I almost passed out when I heard it. But, as a good "macho man" I smiled at him and kept walking and holding my camera. But, when he said "Falcon, have you noticed this guy behind us is walking on those gravels and we cannot hear any steps or sounds?" Man, when he said it, I had to exit the cemetery quickly. Then when we got home I told him the experience I had a week before. So far, I have never forgotten this weird experience, ever, although I have no idea what's going on. I cannot say it's a ghost as I do not believe ghosts exist, but all I can affirm is to this day I have no idea what happened there.
I Live in America... & I have Seen Ghosts Since I Was Young... Sob I Would Love to go to England & See Anne Boleyn... Lady Jane Grey... Mary Queen of Scots & All the Other Spirits That are Said to Haunt the Tower of London...! Mary Queen of Scots is My Ancestor... So I Believe that She Would Appear to Me...!!!
I had a friend who lived in England for a few years, and she swears that one of her roommates was the world’s most irritating ghost. According to her, he (she was sure it was a man) would slam doors, knock over potted plants, leave the fridge open, mess with the lights, and leave the toilet running. It got to the point where she wasn’t scared of him anymore, but just annoyed. She would yell at him to knock it off, and sometimes the spooky behavior stopped when she did that! I’m skeptical of ghosts, but I have to admit that she’s very trustworthy.
''leave the toilet running'' ??????
I live in England and its so steeped in history its a very haunted place, I could tell you a good few stories about things thats happened to me and my family and friends, lots of poltergeist activity happend in my mum and dads house over the years
Do tell@@CHRISDJS72
Damn he better pay rent
Nice ❤ thanks for the upload
thank you for the new upload i enjoy your videos immensely
Good I'm not feeling great todsy but this will sure bring me up. Thanks
Excellent work as usual. The Raynham photo got me as a kid but as I got older it began to bug me for the very same reason you mention - it simply doesn't look like a woman in a dress.
You are among my favorite content creators, thank you ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Nice job! Thank you! 🎉
Well done. I always enjoy the variety of this channel, especially the holiday episodes.
Thank you for this video ❤
I am so very happy to watch and listen to you new video!! Thank you. Please give my best to Peanut.
Also, when can we expect your book to be released?
I grew up in Leicestershire. Never bloody heard of Black Ennis. 😅
I used to live in Derbyshire, and I've seen the tourist signs to Black Annis' Bower. We used to go through various parts of Leicestershire for various different reasons... I'm not sure where exactly it is, tho. I want to say it's around the leics/notts/derby border, but I'm not sure...
Awesome ❤
What beautiful art work.Thanks for making wonderful visuals to accompanyy the stories.
The Mark Felton channel recently had a video about a different ‘haunted’ manor in the UK with some similar elements as in this. I recommend it to anyone interested as it makes a nice companion piece to this.
I congratulate you on your fine scholarship and objective thinking/observation. It is rare with these documentaries. Thank you.
Truly beautiful classic landscapes. Nice.
The illustrations you used in this video are quite lovely. 👍
Can you do a video about Australian cryptids next, pppllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeeee!!!!!!!
Nice work. I've always thought the Brown Lady photograph looked like the silhouette of the Virgin Mary.
I had a few supernatural encounters. One was startling. Few people on vacation with us. They left . On few visits to Great Britain
Thanks for another in 15 video.
thank you for the video. from the east midlands and miss the haunting and folktail culture here in rural australia.
Hi from leicestershire
Kelly Cahill case, you need to take a look into it.. extremely interesting but little videos on it on CZcams
Fascinating stuff.
Perfect stuff for Dark Gathering, the supernatural anime based on ghosts/spirits.
Devon footprints - the original news articles, do not claim the tracks were in a straight unswrving line, yet one of the original sketcheds shows a distinct curve.
If you look at a map and track the locations mentioned. They. Are NOT aligned in a straight line.
It is believed that it was not one continuos line but several sets of tracks that appeared on several nights. Hysteria seems to have been the origin of the story. Using Occam's Razor it seems obvious that unusual looking footprints in one area lead others to look for footprints, most likely naturral footprints from some other animal.
FOL is back!
Good stuff. I always need reminding to click the like button as I get so engrossed in what im watching I would otherwise forget..
The British Isles is unquestionably the most haunted place in the world. The atmosphere, weather and an ancient past all help to make it eerily creepy.
The" Devil'sTracks" were Krampus! Well- i guess it doesn't say they were found on Christmas though. Loved this video!!
Thank you.
Bipedal equidae? The King of evil walks among us!
I love the leap of logic
Windsor Castle and Buckingham palace too
I need to watch a couple kids movies so I can sleep tonight ! Love it !!
Oh blimey
01:52 gets blown apart when you take into account how terrible cameras were back then at the time of the photo. You can see it is a simple double exposure. The exact same shape can be seen on the stairs to the right, which is a simple light reflection. Nonetheless, it is a cool photo, even more so when you don't know the explanation behind it, which I apologise for spoiling.
Next year you should either Scotland or Ireland.
Edinburgh is practically crawling with spirits and Ireland has the terrifying Leap Castle.
People have been challenging the brown lady photograph recently. I still think it’s genuine.
ooo scary stuff!
The ghost image is actually really easy to create. Sorry to spoil your fun but all you need is a slow shudder speed. It’s one of the first things your taught if you ever take a film class.
I'm early! I'm Early! I'M EARLY! :D
I saw a regular ghost for a few years in the 1990s. She was a great big fat lass who would sit on my sofa and eat a bag of crisps in a "I Shot JR" T shirt. Never did find out who she was, we just called her Big Betty
Beautiful ghost
I live in Devon and find the Devils Footprints fascinating. It's a subject that comes up sometimes when we are all discussing the paranormal.
Black Agnes sounds like a fresh take on the horror movie genre,I'd pay good money to see it!
Jeepers creepers could be a modern version of it
I live in Norfolk and I have seen it
Pluckley is the most haunted village in the UK.
Its really wierd Arthur C Clarke wrote a book about the supernatural and the unexplained. In one of the stories he wrote about a ghost at woodford church in Northamptonshire this is only about 10 miles away from where i live. I decided i wanted to go there to prove it wrong after about 8 visits i saw something i cant explain. It was like a white shadow. Even though i saw what i saw i still refuse to believe for fear of being ridiculled about it. This is the first time i have said about it. X
A +++
the photo on the stairs is an actual photo in 1968 from people in Egypt saw an apppartion of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
What I'm wondering is whether they still would have shot the brown lady if she had not smiled menacingly. I don't know if that would have been better or worse than just firing at someone as soon as you suspect they're a ghost.
A 40 min spoopy vid dropped by fol? Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and thumbs up this before getting a minute into it. :)
I looked up different account of Lady Dorothy sightings and the current owners insist that the story of her maliciously smiling can’t be true as they believe from their own accounts that she is a benevolent spirit. Without concrete facts, we’ll never know the true story
Always honor, and above all respect the dead, because one day you will join the ranks....
Edgehill and Marston Moor are both still haunted sites
The ghost photo of an apparition on the stairs is almost certainly a smudge on the lense.
hooray 😻
Halloween over !
If the Brown Lady photograph is faked, it hardly explains eyewitness accounts. Also, I've been obsessed with that story since childhood (and wrote a short story inspired by it), and I finally saw the staircase in question. It is two-sided; meaning there is an identical one across from the one with the ghost. I don't know if it was added after the photo, but that would seem unlikely. Also, that room is huge and well-lit. Unless shades were all down at the time, or they were shooting at night or from an angle in an adjoining room, I don't know. All I know is, if it were faked, it wasn't done using the photograph they took (i.e.--it wasn't they photo taken), especially if their original goal was to take pictures of the house for a magazine similar to Home & Gardens. As for Dorothy Walpole being the ghost: eh, I'm not buying it since the story had to go through a similar situation as Mary, Queen of Scots and her murdered secretary (meaning that her lover was killed--and that was why she was roaming though Mary was never the lover of her secretary as her husband at the time thought). I heard that story over 30 years ago with the explanation that the haunting ceased after the lover was buried properly or something. I think the "ghost" is a conflation of legends from the area rather than just Dorothy Walpole, and that should be investigated.
YIPPIE YIPPIE HOORAY NEW FIRE OF LEARNING VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!
The Devils footprints is one strange story that I’ve seen in other sites also
English Civil War battle sites are rich in spiritual activity as a result of so much suffering and death. I visited the battle site at Edgehill, but the main area is Ministry of Defence land now and is fenced off from the public. There is a commemorative pillar just at the edge of the site. I have visited Marston Moor in Yorkshire a number of times and can verify that it is full of spiritual activity. Huge numbers of men were slaughtered during this battle, so no real surprises there.
The brown lady of Raynham Hall picture can be reproduced easily, indeed like many apparitional inages and made to look like an old image if you are good at digital image manipulation.
D shackles missing the cross screw would have indeed made hoof shapes in the snow, if dangling hapless from a balloon....
No Roy Gribbleston sightings?
Queen consort Anne Boleyn 👑🏰🏴🇬🇧 of England
We ever getting a a part 2 of Americas history 👀
If you look carefully at the most famous ghost photo, look at the handrails. They do not line up. They have a very strange appearance, as if double exposed.
You research is deficient, Marryat did not shoot her with a bullet, but several silver shillings, silver being a traditional material used to lay spirits. Iron is also inimical to the paranormal.
It is very annoying that they A. I. has rendered her , not with eyeless sockets, but with large gray alien eyes. Very annoying.
Ghosts don't exist.
I saw a grey lady as a child. I grew up,moved out and my 17 years younger sister took the room. Years later, a ghost story came up and I mentioned the grey lady, my sister said, that was in your old room? She visted me too? Our cousin, 5 years older lived in the adjoining house he agreed that the grey lady came through his room next door too.
This sounds like Bedtime stories and Wartime stories
And of course, the most famous of all: Ann Boleyn with her head tucked under her arm ,as the song goes.
1:30 i have a video of a ghost filmed where i live and stills from the video they are as clear as day i put the video on you tube do you think anyone cares??? they dont, it should be worth something to me
Oooooo these are spooky 👻💀⚰️
❤❤❤❤
The author of the popular 1930's radio programme "The Shadow" wrote his mystery tales of the black clad crime fighter in a house where he resided for many years. In the decades since his passing there have been reports of a dark figure wearing a slouch hat moving about the residence at night. Is it possible that the author, having spent so many hours weaving tales of this character, left a psychic impression of him that some people have experienced ? If there is any "reality" to spectres that have appeared throughout history, could this phenomenon amount to impressions left on the collective consciousness ?
The one with the devil's footprints sounds an awful lot like sightings of The Jersey Devil
Nothing is true. Unless you see it with your own eyes.
❤❤❤😊
When ghost still haunts until now seems they still have more and strong energy. Or maybe afterlife isnt cool at all for them🤭
Just like the Banshee in Eire Ireland or Alban in Scotland . 🤣
The Scottish banshee is said to be seen washing the grave clothes, of those about to die.
Someone should investigate 50 berkeley square..Apparently its the most haunted house in London.
Black Ennis is said to have been killed by an axe in the face, which tends to kill most things .
What about the Roman troops of legionaries that have seen in the roadsides?
I think every county has a 'the devil visited' story. There's multiple visits in Lancashire.
In what used to be a sixth form school in Burnley some bored kids decided to raise the devil, when it worked they paniced a teacher heard them and came, they broke the ritual and the devil went back to hell but the stone slab where he was raised was permanently scorched.
There's another story that says the devil appeared on a hillside and threw a boulder at Clitheroe castle taking out a chunk of it from a few miles away, if you go to where he stood There's supposed to be a footprint molded into a rock and a pile of stones.
Then a more fun one, on a sunday while some young men were playing footbal in Crawshawbooth the devil apparently appeared and wanted to join in, upon kicking the ball it turned into a firebll that shot across the field into the goal and the local men fled in terror, the devil then returned to hell feeling dejected as no one would play with him.
If the best ghost in England is the result of a few drunk party goers and one bad piece of film, that is very weak.
With the Devils Hoofprints, what would have made them disappear and not made any longer? If it were any kind of live being it would probably have had two that would mate and make more. So, it would perhaps to have been a spiritual being that could physically manifest at will in order to complete some kind of instructions or need to cause people to think a certain way, or to do something in this world, we do not know what they spread, but 'power of the mind can be used in many ways.' they say.
But whatever it was it is odd it ended as quickly as it appeared, perhaps?
The supernatural is an otherworldly phenomenally. We may one day know how it works but at this time, we know "energy cannot die" It lives on forever so that is true that it goes someplace after leaving here. If it repeats tragedies that have stood out strongly in the mind and really upset them horrendously, we do not know, but evil can hold on in its clasp. Some are released from those demons of the mind, and they are freed into the next lie of a heaven or a life of life after this life. We just are not sure. But we must go someplace, and our mind holds a key.
If these hoof marks disappeared, as we think the being did, perhaps it completed its job, or what it was sent to do, or it never was here at all, or it lived out its 'unusual life'? *maybe born a demon* (?) and from that time, it too had to go to an energy being, that was a victim of its own mind, Ther was a story of a demon child born to a very poor family that lived in the woods and they had many children, but this one had a curse put on it, and then it flew out the window, and was to haunt the woods of the area. So, it has been known that odd beings can come about and be' born by some kind of odd will.' Is it true, I do not know! Cannot remember just where this happened, but it was in the woods in a I think NYS or NJ area. A legend of sorts,
Do we believe in heaven and God, or is our mind filled with hate and crime or love and kindness? This is the '''strength of our mind '' at work, and that 'faith or lack there of,' is what we end up with to carry on, perhaps?
We could be "stuck" a long time, if we have had alot of hate, anger, unfinished business, and pain, and it may linger a long time? What others do to us, or we to ourselves, or to others, can be very dangerous if it lingers in our mind forever, and we cannot ever overcome and somehow forgive, for our own good future, so we can move on to a' good place? ' Not linger in a demonic life forever, one created by us, or others around us.
We can pray to not have to' deal with it forever. At least in the afterlife. '
I suppose the one image cold have been the virgin Mary as perhaps she was called on to help rescue the woman from her bondage at least into a good spiritual life in the hereafter and the virgin still prays for that life or any other life, to not linger their ever again, We never know?
It might have been the balloon though, as it was on the night it happened or one set anyway. It seems animals on roofs would have been heard on the roof?
Also, often snow could cause the prints to even look larger, by the next day? They sort of stretch out with the wet water part of the snow as it may melt some? Looks of it may have changed some by a second day? Very hard to ever know,
