Chris! Your channel has become - without doubt - the very best in its field. I feel of mixture of emotions on hearing the recorded voices of those long gone. Pride... in their achievements and sadness that few of their 'kind' are still with us. Your phenominal work keeps their memories alive and is totally fascinating. I recommend your channel to all whom I know will appreciate it. Thank you!!
Chris! It’s Vicky here!! My friend passed on this video to me. It was so wonderful to hear my account from years ago again. Thank you for including it. I still visit Ossington to this day, it is a wonderful place. I truly hope you are well and I’m so pleased to have found your channel! All my very best wishes to you!!
lovely to hear from you again and somewhat relieved that you didn't mind me using your recording without asking permission.....i'm stuck down in Kent as a carer - my least favourite county outside the abomination that is London and am pining for the North..............hope all is well with you - C
@@British-Hauntings-and-History When I gave you my account I did say feel free to use it as you wish and it’s brought me much joy to hear it again. I’ve been out of the ghost hunting game for a while as life takes over, it’s relit my fire so to speak. I’ve often wondered how you are so it’s been a joyful morning all round! Thank you so much for this!
This is so well produced. The very real fear or horror that the aircrews must have experienced during an accident has left behind an indelible spiritual truth. It can never be forgotten. They suddenly found themselves deceased but like this airman in his uniform he still needs to go somewhere on the airfield on his bike. They were truly heroic. Thanks Chris
So sad that he's still on duty...Absolutely - the Bomber Command crews were heroic and I will never understand how they managed climb into their bombers night after night until they either got the chop or their tour of 30 ops ended.
Another superb video. The first person eye witness account of the airman and bicycle ads even more credibility to the stories from RAF Ossington. Please keep this up Chris. Your work is important in keeping not only the history of these airfields alive but also in the quest of uncovering the answers to this phenomenon. Thank you sir!
Great work as always Chris 👏. These videos are amazing, you're really keeping the memories of these historic places alive and you deserve great credit for your work. Well done buddy, have a great weekend 👍 😊.
I appreciate that you included Adagio by Tomaso Albinoni an incredible emotive piece of music , I lost two Uncles in WW1 and another two in WW2 and I deeply appreciate that your channel gives a voice to those who served and their memories ,Thank you Chris
Another excellent piece of work, Chris. Having Vicky recount her tale adds another aspect to the story as we are re-living the extraordinary event with her. And I hope it will encourage the 'shy' ones to contact you with their tales of the unexpected as an experience like Vicky's (and her father's) cannot be dismissed as just imagination...KBO and best!
Another great video Chris, haven’t been up to Ossington for a few months so need to visit again. Nice to hear Vicky’s account, she’s a friend of mine so I know she’s got a great interest in this sort of thing.
Well done with your research on Ossington, Chris. I was certainly hooked on Vicky's account. Another fascinating "time slip" moment with the uniformed cyclist. It takes a lot to mention many a supernatural encounter on YT (for obvious reasons). Very grateful she decided to share it for all of us.
@@British-Hauntings-and-History Ah, RAF Buchan. My dad was there briefly in the Eighties when it was a fully manned camp, I think it's mainly automated nowadays.
i'll be accused of favouritism....8) i've been accused of much worse on here.....i just do the airfield that i feel like doing at te time - and there are plenty to choose from...some like Scampton and Biggin Hill etc are just too big for the laptop to cope with making a video
Chris I love all the videos, that you produce mate 👌 don't listen to the haters and realise you have alot of us ,who appreciate all that you have done mate 👍
Brilliant 😀 I like the way you added the account recording a very interesting story Chris . I would think most airfields have there spirits that pay a visit now and again .
Another excellent video Chris I was always a sceptic but after experiencing strange happenings whilst at an airfield visit I am no longer a sceptic, I look forward to these videos
This was a stunner! Two people seeing the same apparition...whew I got a chill just now! 🙀 More poignant radio recordings, I like those. The way you take us into the location from above isn't just cool, it is symbolically apropos. What I personally have difficulty sorting out is whether what I sense is a spirit, a recording {as in stone}, or a time slip! Great video, superb work and I think this really is a lovely channel to visit. 👻🤍
tbh ....just go with it...personally i find there are very few "recordings" and a lot more spirits - we could get into a long conversation about this - its what i call a 4 pint problem as there are so many ifs and buts to consider 8)
Wow what a great video with some very interesting stories. It certainly sounds like a very atmospheric place. Such a shame the hall, like so many others, was demolished. I always enjoy the music you include in your videos & the old recordings of the air crew. Spot on once again Chris. Thank you 🙏
Very nice work Chris. I've read the first of your books some time ago and have the greatest difficulty to find the other two in my country. Those stories are amazing. Good luck with your carer duties and thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Dear Chris , you're ABSOLUTELY smashing it with these videos ! You are very, very good at this. If ever you want to hear about RAF Northolt I can give you a couple of tales.
One of the remarkable things about so many ghostly accounts, is how mundane the interaction is. Ghostly airman chatting as if on the way to the canteen, rather than more extreme circumstances like training accidents and associated trauma. One might conclude that "ghosts" are not a single phenomenon, but a variety of haunting, timeslip, crisis apparition and historic replay, for reasons we can only guess at.
there are all sorts of ghosts and hauntings....some having nothing to do with the location whatsoever...there is never a one size fits all simple explanation as you realise - despite what these so called experts rolled out on TV shows claim
Real men...who gave everything for their country without asking for anything in return... total heroes each and every one and despite the ruin the country is in at the moment they have and will always have my undying respect... Thank you for your service.!!!!!!

@@British-Hauntings-and-History yeah it can be a funny place I go at least once a year my grandad was a tail gunner on lancs in 630 sqd so I’ve always been interested
Go A1 North from Newark. Off at Carlton on trent, turn left and keep going into the village. Out the other side, you'll see a concrete bit on the left, that's the end of one runway. As you follow the road it's the old runway itself
I am waiting until it gets dark tonight before I watch this, Chris. Thanks for the time and work you put in to make these. Did you get my message about The Wheatsheaf in Darlington? All the best.
The church yard at Holy Rood Church would have been the resting place for family from the hall back in the day. Are there wartime interments? I couldn't find any War Graves Commission headstones in such pictures as I could find. Very compelling account of the apparition.
Listening to the coms chatter on your videos makes it even more real in my mind Chris as it reminds me we are talking about real people who lost their lives,as i come from a Navy family i can tell there is truth in saying "All Ships are Haunted" and I know its not your field of interest so i won't expect or ask you to investigate an old warship.
In the very early 70s my Dad used to take me to Ossington to learn how to drive on what was left of the runways, also in the derelict buildings could not believe how much paperwork had been left, wish I had kept some of that, may still be there buried?
Hello. My University Halls of residence were a former convalescence hospital during WW2, but I only found this out much later. There would be black, swirling mist moving around the halls at night-on one occasion I saw a large black shadow move from a window (overlooking a 40ft something drop) into someone's room. My Laptop played music on it's own, as well as the stereo, and I witnessed two full-bodied apparitions in my room. One seemed to be of a female student, and the second was of a female clerical staff, middle-aged, reaching for something on a shelf. There were no feelings of discomfort or dread at all, I just found it odd. Also the person whose room was visited by the shadow heard knocking on their door, but no one was there.
which Airfield jake ?? the accommodation blocks at Horsham St Faith - situated towards Catton were used by the University of East Anglia as accommodation for students
that one's simple - you can't - the publisher did a single print run and cheated me on royalties...so i simply walked away and will have nothing to do with publishers ever again

Many of those killed from Ossington were buried at Ollerton cemetery. I've a few videos of their graves on my channel if you want to check

ships are haunted because like airfields they were home to the men in them and their shipmates family
