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'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.
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
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.
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 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. 🖤
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😳😩
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
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!
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 😉
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
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!!!!
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!
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.
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 😂
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!
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 ❤
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!!
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. 😅
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!
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
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.
“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.
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!
No words for how much I loved this vlog! I don’t know if I believe in ghosts exactly, but I definitely believe that places hold energy and that place DEFINITELY has a dark energy. You are so brave for sleeping there. I could never! Great video, Gavin.
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. 💚
When you asked the ghost if you’re the monster, I immediately heard Gabby Hannah screaming “What if I’m the monster?!?!?” Great work again Gav. I think this is my favorite vlog yet. I vote you go ghost hunting more often hahah
I know this was postedbages ago, but i LOVED this video. Growing up i was obsessed with a TV show called Scariest Places on Earth, and the first place they went was Chillingham Castle. I had no idea you could book rooms to stay! This was such an awesome blend of reading and paranormal - amazing video!!
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
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!
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 👻
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!
UA-cam recommend this video to me and I’m so happy they did! I loved this video so much and I’m happy to be introduced to you as well! Excited to see more spooky vlogs in the future 👻🖤
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 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
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!
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 ☺️
Yay for a sponsor! Such a fun (and creepy) video. Unrelated, but when are you going to drop your skincare routine??? In every video, your skin is GLOWING. Tell me your secrets please 🤣
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 UA-cam cut to a commercial and promptly glitched out. The screen showed one thing and was playing something else. I’ve been watching UA-cam 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!
Gavin, you are one of the most entertaining, funny, honest and genuine people I’ve seen on UA-cam. I absolutely love your videos and wish we could hang out 😂.
Okay so I have a list of things to say because of this video lol. One, I love all of your videos but especially these type of videos, where you are willing to explore places and somehow involve books with them. It’s so creative. I feel like we need a musical about your life. Two, I downloaded the app and I was just messing with it but the first question I asked was “Is anyone there?” And the thing picked up “Why are you here?”. The crazy thing about this is I work overnight shifts as a security guard on some nights. So, my job is already creepy but this topped my night. 😅
@Gavin, this is one of favorite videos from your channel! You were so brave staying there it was super creepy and scary🎃👻😱. Your channel brings us tons of joy!!! Can't wait for the next one.Cheers!!!
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.
Fabulous vlog, Gavin! I love spooky places, but I could not have stayed there all by myself. Your bravery and creativity are both greatly appreciated. 🏰 👻
1:39:39 Thar blinking red TV light is normal, mine does this every night between 3 a.m and 3:15 a.m. Some sort of ... searching for problems thing. Ghosts are the only thing that can scare me. It's 01:50 am and I'm scared in my own apartment ^^' This is also the second day, that I'm watching this video. I needed three days in between because the stories of these poor innocent humans who sufferd tremendously. This beautiful castle was hell on earth. And some are still there and can not leave.
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
Those wardrobes in the bedroom remind me so much of the one in The Conjuring,and it absolutely freaks me out!The place is gorgeous,but very creepy, and that courtyard gives me chills down my spine.
This is absolutely amazing! I loved it so much, thanks Gav! You did a great job on this one. I’m amazed you stayed there alone for so long lol so creepy 👻
Gav-Gav, I absolutely LOVED this! Every second of it was entertaining, but mostly seeing you explore and experience things was great. You’ve always been funny and I love that side of you, but watching the serious side (which we don’t often see) was lovely. Not sure what the flies meant, but they were extremely bizarre and creepy… Thank you so much for being so amazing as always! ❤️
Absolutely amazing video. The history and exploring was so interesting, thank you for sharing. Love your creative vlogs, they are definitely a high light to my night.
The podcast, Morbid, that I listen to just did an episode on this castle 🫣 After hearing what happened at that castle… I don’t know how you stayed there over night for 3 nights 😳 great video !
Be sure to check out the sequel to this video where I return to the haunted castle a year later: ua-cam.com/video/wzTf8rv732o/v-deo.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
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'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.
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 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
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.
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!!
This is genuinely one of, if not, THE best booktube content I’ve ever seen. You’re doing amazing sweetie
The intro, atmosphere, scenery, tour, editing, EVERYTHING about this video was perfect👏🤌 So glad I found your channel!
Aw thanks so much Queen Kim 🥰
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.

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 production value 🙌🏼 it’s giving movie vibes!! We are truly blessed ❤
Oh shucks 🥰
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!
THE INTRO ARE YOU JOKING ME?!? This is literal ART!!!!
Lexi 😭💙
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 ❤️
The work you put in your content SHOWS . Top tier content!
Thank you 😭
Back for my yearly spooky rewatch of Gav scaring the crap out of himself. Now part of my Halloween traditions
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.

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!
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 🥰
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!!!
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.
I had literal tears leaking out of my eyes during the investigation cause I was so freaked out!
It was INTENSE!!
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!

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!
THE FLIES ARE TAKING ME OUT. That is genuinely terrifying
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.
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 😂
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)
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 ❤
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!!
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. 😅
Oh my effing hell, Gavin!!! I'm at the paranormal investigation part and I'm scared as f*!!! This video is everything (and more).
I must have watched this vlog at least 10 times now it’s SO GOOD
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 😂
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
Honestly, the CONSISTENCY with which you upload one fantastic video with just the best consept after another is mindblowing.
Love your channel.💚
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!!!
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.
“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!
OMG when it said turn it off!! I would have ran 😭
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 ☺️

Rewatching before the part two comes out this weekend, I’m so ready to see some more Gavin the professional ghost hunter! ❤
"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 🥰
THE MUSIC DROPPING AS THE INTRO CARD APPEARS CHILLLLLLLLS 😍😍😍😍
why do I always watch these things at night
Everybody who is not subscribed to you is seriously missing out.
"PRESS???
OHHH press that subscribe button absolutely and PRESS the bell icon to turn notifications on."
When you asked the ghost if you’re the monster, I immediately heard Gabby Hannah screaming “What if I’m the monster?!?!?” Great work again Gav. I think this is my favorite vlog yet. I vote you go ghost hunting more often hahah
“Press the subscribe button” LOL I’m commenting as I’m watching

They are called cluster flies and occur as things start cooling down outside they often go to the sunny side of houses and creep in the window cracks
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 🥰
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!

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 👻
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!
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 😊
This was a fabulous vlog! Chilling all the way through. That open gate at the cemetery did me in and those flies!😱
UA-cam recommend this video to me and I’m so happy they did! I loved this video so much and I’m happy to be introduced to you as well! Excited to see more spooky vlogs in the future 👻🖤
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 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This vlog was amazing! Such great vibes but yeah all the flies freaked me out.
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 love the concepts you been doing lately for reading. This looked so cool to be able to stay there in that kind of environment while reading.
Thanks so much, and I do love immersing myself to add to the atmosphere of reading
1:47:27 holy craaaap! Okay Michael myers can you not
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 ☺️
OMG the flies?!?
Wow - legit a Narnia worthy wardrobe in the master bedroom!
Yay for a sponsor! Such a fun (and creepy) video.
Unrelated, but when are you going to drop your skincare routine??? In every video, your skin is GLOWING. Tell me your secrets please 🤣
Just rewatched this, and Gavin, at 39:03 you definitely weren’t alone!!! There was a white shadowy figure right behind you!!
I absolutley loved this! The flies were so scaryyy!!
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 UA-cam cut to a commercial and promptly glitched out. The screen showed one thing and was playing something else. I’ve been watching UA-cam 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!
Gavin, you are one of the most entertaining, funny, honest and genuine people I’ve seen on UA-cam. I absolutely love your videos and wish we could hang out 😂.
Okay so I have a list of things to say because of this video lol. One, I love all of your videos but especially these type of videos, where you are willing to explore places and somehow involve books with them. It’s so creative. I feel like we need a musical about your life. Two, I downloaded the app and I was just messing with it but the first question I asked was “Is anyone there?” And the thing picked up “Why are you here?”. The crazy thing about this is I work overnight shifts as a security guard on some nights. So, my job is already creepy but this topped my night. 😅
@Gavin, this is one of favorite videos from your channel! You were so brave staying there it was super creepy and scary🎃👻😱. Your channel brings us tons of joy!!! Can't wait for the next one.Cheers!!!
I‘m rewatching this for the vibes and I just love it so much ahahah especially your first jumpscare 👻
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.
When the Ghost cam said DONT LEAVE in the Twin Bedroom....Nahhh get that fire exit door Gavin!😂👻
"Some say even knowing his name is dangerous" ...WelL tHanKs GaViN!!
Fabulous vlog, Gavin! I love spooky places, but I could not have stayed there all by myself. Your bravery and creativity are both greatly appreciated. 🏰 👻
Not the flies at 22 minutes! It’s foreshadowing
1:39:39 Thar blinking red TV light is normal, mine does this every night between 3 a.m and 3:15 a.m. Some sort of ... searching for problems thing.
Ghosts are the only thing that can scare me. It's 01:50 am and I'm scared in my own apartment ^^' This is also the second day, that I'm watching this video. I needed three days in between because the stories of these poor innocent humans who sufferd tremendously. This beautiful castle was hell on earth. And some are still there and can not leave.
this is cinema!!!!!!
The flies were really creepy, i wonder if the last people who stayed happened to leave something sticky or some kind of food that they liked.
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
Those wardrobes in the bedroom remind me so much of the one in The Conjuring,and it absolutely freaks me out!The place is gorgeous,but very creepy, and that courtyard gives me chills down my spine.
I enjoyed this so much!! The amount of work to go into this is so appreciated. I love books and what better setting to read spooky books.
Thank you so much 🥰
This is absolutely amazing! I loved it so much, thanks Gav! You did a great job on this one. I’m amazed you stayed there alone for so long lol so creepy 👻
Haha thanks Kaitlyn, now I dare you to do it 👀
Gav-Gav, I absolutely LOVED this! Every second of it was entertaining, but mostly seeing you explore and experience things was great. You’ve always been funny and I love that side of you, but watching the serious side (which we don’t often see) was lovely. Not sure what the flies meant, but they were extremely bizarre and creepy… Thank you so much for being so amazing as always!
❤️
Absolutely amazing video. The history and exploring was so interesting, thank you for sharing. Love your creative vlogs, they are definitely a high light to my night.
The podcast, Morbid, that I listen to just did an episode on this castle 🫣 After hearing what happened at that castle… I don’t know how you stayed there over night for 3 nights 😳 great video !
I love the effort you put into the research of the history of these places you visit. I have enjoyed all of them and can't wait for more
But this is probably my favorite blogs you've done Gavin! Feels right out of a Scooby Doo episode!
how does it feel to be living MY DREAM?! but for real this is so cool!
