    Hi Sam, well done for making this video so quickly, maybe whatever it was you detected in the chimney somehow got transported into your editting software?
    I spotted what looked to be somebody on the main track at 1:28, on the brow just left of the church as you panned round!! I'm glad you didnt go on your own, but maybe your daughter can run faster than you!!
    I must have driven by this area many times over the years, sometimes from or to Gatwick, without knowing it was there, maybe you get bluebells there in spring, always a wonderful sight.
    Great video, all the best!!

      Hello David! Thank you! Definitely a strange one, with the camera and the software. A bug in the software has caused the video issue, and I had problems with this version too but managed to dowload it OK eventually.. hopefully it will be resolved for the new one. There were a couple of people who drove there (the red car wasn't mine, you can hear someone's mobile phone going off and a child shouting lol), and a runner asking for directions as we were leaving. It is not easy to find, unless you know where it is. Have a great week!

    That is an eerie and odd place in the woods! I remember coming across of such an abandend church in Sweden. But there the people just had decided to built a new and bigger church. But it is weird to see a abandond church rotting in an also abanddond place, becoming again a part of the forest! But in Sweden there was no creepy story about monks who turned into trees.... But in that place I can imagin the trees come to some life and walk around at night - or even in the dim light of the day.... And the fire place in the church/ school.... Thank you for taking us with you to this spooky but also magical, enchanted place!👍

    • @SamWalksALot
      @SamWalksALot  День тому +1

      Thank you Malcolm 😊 it was built in 1880 for the small hamlet of Bedham, as a school and church. I guess that it was too costly to keep it running after the war. Turned into chapel for 20 years or so, it was abandoned in 1959. That's pretty much it I think 🤔

    Thanks for that delightful film of the old church/school. Looks as if it had a piece of scaffold pole at the end by the tower to stop it falling. It was an attractive place, though.

    I can definitely feel the magickal energy. I get the feeling the site was used in earlier times, predating the building? pagans and Druids have been known to practice in the woods for centuries. I have heard that some pagan priests would teather spirits to a specific area to stand guard and protect it for one reason or another..sometimes against theyre will. often Spirits do tend to linger.. I'm also curious, you said some of Sir Edward Elgar's music is inspired by this place. Do you know which pieces of music? I'd love to have a listen 😊🙏

      @buddhabro.9130 the previous activity on the hill is not knows but it's possible. It's a very unusual setting, when they could've easily built a church down the hill?
      Here's some info for you : "Elgar found the quiet woodland inspirational ’wood magic’ and it was while living in Bedham, that Elgar wrote the greater part of his ‘cello concerto Opus 85 www.elgar.org/3cello-c.htm in 1919, as well as the violin sonata opus 82, string quartet opus 83 and the piano quintet Opus 84."
