- So What About The Dark Sinister Side Of Epping Forest?
Murder, Ghosts, Highwayman And Lots Of Ancient History
From Legendary Dick Turpin To Recent Gruesome Murders - Epping Forest has a long ancient history, this video covers Epping's interesting past and the dark tales associated with the forest.
Legendary highwayman Mr Dick Turpin found refuge here in the forest in the 18th century.
Epping Forest was one of his favourite stomping grounds where he targeted the carriages of wealthy people.
“Stand and Deliver”, he used to shout
Strangely, highwaymen seem to carry a romantic, even heroic image. if the stories are true, Turpin was actually a ruthless killer, robber and terrorist. Perhaps the most notorious, and paradoxically the most romantic, highwayman of all, Dick Turpin has certainly left his mark in the English history books and has etched his way into the legends that exist here in Epping forest.
Turpin was born in Hempstead in 1705, and at some point in his life, he was involved in the very violent Gregory Gang. When he eventually left the gang, he became a highwayman. His favourite area in the forest was that of Loughton Camp. It is believed that Turpin killed at least one man in Epping Forest.

Thank you buddy, sending our best and catch up soon 😊
I really enjoyed hearing about the dark tales of Epping Forest and about the legendary highwayman, Dick Turpin. I can't help thinking about Adam and the Ants, lol! The story of the poor woman found dead in her car with an arrow through her head is particularly gruesome. I would NOT like to visit after dark! Thank you, Stephen - this was awesome! 🧡🧡👻👻
Thank you Julie and Lucy, I think the murder of the woman was pretty gruesome too. It’s almost as if she was hunted. The thought sends a shiver down my spine.
I would consider a nighttime visit, but certainly not on my own lol 😆 a big thank you girls and catch up soon ❤️😆

Pretty cool history of the old growth forest. More ghostly stories for the Halloween season too. Pretty awesome. Watch out for arrows and going into the woods after dark! Yikes! Have a great day.
Thank you Steve, that arrow murder sounds like something straight out of a horror movie. The forest was stunning though 😊 and I certainly enjoyed visiting and sharing with everyone 😊 hope all well and catch up soon
Fascinating combination of natural environment and stories from the past. Keep up the great work 😎

Fantastic video! I can see that the history of this forest is very extensive. Amazing facts, and entertaining!
Thank you buddy, I think the forest is certainly worth a lot more exploration and I will definitely go back at some stage in the future 😊 sending my best and catch up soon
Always enjoy hearing about Dick Turpin, Stephen. Epping Forest certainly has a sad history. It would be a place that the spirts would be uneasy! Thanks for bringing us along.
I think so too, an easy place for the spirits to get lost and like you said uneasy. It’s an interesting place though, well worth another visit soon 😊😊
I love this story of Dick. That is cool they found earthworks. That does make it really old. Wow the Tudors used the area for hunting.
Thank you guys, this is an interesting location, full of lots of myths and legends. It would take years though to explore it all. The forest is huge 😊 catch up soon
Great sharing ❤️👍
Thank you very kindly ❤️
Really enjoyed this Stephen and its great that we have these ancient woodlands still.
Old Dick was a cheeky chap wasn't he 😂👍
Lol 😂 he was very cheeky indeed lol 😆 a big thank you buddy and catch up soon
@@StephenandYhana Have a great evening Stephen 😀👍
Well, the Epping Forest may just become even busier now Stephen. Who wouldn't want to walk in Dick Turpins footsteps, figuratively speaking that is. I'd avoid it at night time, with spooky shadows and noises sending goosebumps up my spine. You have told this story so well you'd almost miss the horror- An arrow through her head!!! Oh my goodness. I'd say there will be many a 👻 reunion in the forest from time to time. Perfect theme for today Stephen. 🫣 🇳🇱 🙋♀ 🇳🇿
Thank you Anita, I must admit. I feel very sorry for the lady who lost her life, I haven’t researched the full story behind it, but it sounds like some straight out of a horror movie.
I think Epping Forest could become very popular, I wonder if any detailed paranormal investigations have taken place here. I can imagine they have. A very big thank you for your lovely comment 😊 hope all well and catch up soon
No wonder a lot of scary stories from England. This is real historical site. Thanks fir your explanation. It looks mysterious. Thousand year eping forest. Thanks brother!
Thank you very kindly buddy, sending our best and catch up soon 😊
I only knew Robin Hood. Dick Turpin is new to me.
An eerily beautiful story. Thanks for your explanations, pal.
Best wishes to you, Peter 🤠🇩🇪👍
Thank you Peter, for your kind comment 😊😊 Robin Hood, is off cause the most famous 😊 I have told the story of Maid Marian on my channel, but not yet Robin Hood 😊 I will do soon 😊 lol 😆 catch up soon
Wow, incredible to hear there were "body snatchers" back then! I agree..I don't think I will visit that forest anytime soon..especially at night! 👀 Thank you for another wonderful video Stephen!
Thank you guys, for the very lovely comment 😊😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Evening Stephen and Yhana. This was a really interesting history and story about forest and Dick Turpin. Some of comment mentions Adam and the Ants and now I have arranged the dice with the song "Stand and deliver". Lol. listened to that song a long time ago. 😄 Take care you two and have a nice week. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😊🤗
I had a listen to the song whilst I edited this video actually, lol 😆 Adam and the Ants came to my mind too. Great song from the 80’s lol 😆 a big thank you guys and catch up soon 😁😁
Awesome! We love you stories (history & Legends) that you share - and so much loved this right in time for Halloween! The forest was STUNNING - great place to share your story! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Thank you Karen and Shannon, I certainly do love both history and legends equally 😊 plus the site was incredible to visit too. So much to explore in this forest, and I have only done a little bit of it 😊 catch up soon
What a beautiful forest with such a dark side.
Thank you Jim and Pearl, hope all well
And catch up soon 😊
Great video, it's very well curated . Dark sinister side aside, it looks like such a beautiful forest. Hope you guys are able to make that camping trip happen!
It is a very beautiful forest, and still more to explore too 😊 we will definitely make another visit in the future 😊 catch up soon guys
Very beautiful footage, great editing and amazing storytelling 👍
Thank you very kindly 😊 sending our best 😊😊
OOOO this is very Dark! Epping Forest is pretty, but what a tragic place. Awesome tales of Epping Forest Stephen. It did send chills up my spine. Those body snatches were prolific and thanks to them we have progressed in the medical field. Imagine all those people who were murdered!
Enjoyed coming along with you on this dark side. 👻💀👍🏽
Thank you Joseph, it’s an interesting location, beautiful too. I’m looking forward to when I go back there 😊❤️ catch up soon buddy

Awesome my friend. Awesome: keep up the amazing videos
Thank you buddy, hope all well and catch up soon 😊
Very good I enjoyed it xxx
Thank you, some creepy stories in that forest xx not sure if I would want a ghost to pull my car up a hill lol 😆 xx
Epping forest seems much better in the daytime - I would choose to visit then. 😄 The stories are definitely creepy, and I enjoyed hearing a bit about the history and how it was a royal hunting ground. It's amusing how society romanticizes a lot of old characters like highwaymen and vampires. Very enjoyable, Stephen!
Thank you Donna, and I agree 😊 many bad characters are romanticised 😊 I’m sure there’s a sensual reason behind that. I wouldn’t go into the woods at night either, not on my own anyway. Lol 😆 catch up soon
We live in Loughton. Epping is our walk forest and the weird thing is there's no internet on two of our phone providers. 🙄 Could that be a ghost 👻 thing?
😂😂 I have no idea, most likely poor reception in the middle of the forest. There are still several places like that in Essex. You should do a ghost hunt at night, as you live local 😊
@@StephenandYhana 😂 We will 🤣
Just brilliant stuff Stephen. Regardless of the dark and sinister stuff I'd still love to camp there one day... think I'd be a bit put off if some guy came flashing his pistol at me though 🤔 😀 the crossbow story does make me think twice too but I believe I'd still give it a go. I feel like you could do a whole series on this forest alone. Really enjoyed this one 👌 👍👊 Thanks Stephen
I think this forest is very interesting and I will certainly be back. About a year ago, Debs visited here too. If you do decide to wild camp here, let me know. I will be up for it too.
Maybe we could get Debs and Phil to come along too.
Maybe next Halloween or just before. An Epping Forest Halloween collaboration.
Have a think on it. As I will definitely do it, if you do 👻👻
A big thank you Gez, have a wicked Halloween 🎃 what ever you have planned
Sounds creepy about the man who waved his pistol at people! I can’t imagine it in the dark of the night. I guess he ended up paying for it in the end. It looks lovely in the day with all the mature trees. Very cool stories Stephen, I really enjoyed it. 👍😊🇨🇦
Thank you Christine for your comment 😊 and a big thank you for watching too 😊 I can imagine that forest is very spooky at night too 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
That was amazing, well told, well filmed and fascinating to watch and listen too. You are a great story teller
Thank you very much 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Wow Amazing💕 So cool🌼 Have a nice day♪✨
Thank you kindly 😊
.Everywhere in the world has existed the dark side and evil. Before in one way, currently in another way but it has always been horrendous those things that should not happen. Greetings to my great friend and I am pleased to greet you again. from Baja California Sur, MEXICO.
Thank you buddy and I totally agree with you 😊 there is a lot of darkness in our world 😊 sending our best
Yeah, as time goes by the stories take a life of their own and the principals are kind of seen through romantic eyes. Heroes and villains sometimes even change their roles ha ha ha..
Nice video Steven, you have a gift for storytelling....
Thank you buddy and I totally agree 😊 Heroes and Villains can certainly take on new roles 😊 I love folklore, myths, legends 😊 Something I would like to cover more on my channel 😊 thank you for the lovely comment too 😊👻 catch up soon buddy
Wow, now this is the perfect video for Halloween, loved the history of the forest and all of the creepy stories that go with it
Thank you Charlotte 😊 sending our best and catch up soon

Hey! 👋 Our home walk forest ❤️ Friends from Loughton here! 👍
Hey, thank you so much for the comment 😊 Epping is a beautiful forest and I love the history there 😊 I gave you a sub 😊 looking forward to watching your channel
@@StephenandYhana Happy to be friends. New sub to you as well. Thanks a lot. Best regards. ❤️ 🌹 💐 🏵
Sounds like an interesting place. wonder how true those storys are :-)
The stories of Dick Turpin are all real, the ghost stories certainly interest me. This forest has been reported for many years in regards to its hauntings. I would certainly love to explore here during the nighttime. Although not alone lol 😆
Nice, greetings from india ❤️👍🙏
Thank you very kindly, and warm greetings from the UK too 😊❤️
So excited to watch this as this forest is my family`s almost everyday walking place. There`s lots of people walking their dogs, cycling and running. It`s got many sections each with its different character. There`s also a not so known trail - secret but not spooky - that goes on the other side of the M25 where sometimes cattle graze freely. Great documentary 👍Thank you very much ❤
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment 😊 I enjoyed our exploration of this wonderful place and all of the history associated with it too. Thank you for that information about the secret footpath, I do plan to visit here again, there is still lots more I would like to see and explore 😊 sending our best and catch up soon ❤️
WOW super ❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️😊
I can imagine working so hard to farm and not being allowed to hunt, how upsetting. ⚠️💯
Lol, yes, those commoners certainly had the short end of the stick, most of what they farmed was probably lost to the landowners too. They did try and hunt / poach without getting caught though. A high price for when they did though
Edward’s family legend is that they are related to Turpin😂. I don’t know if I believe that, but I did really enjoy this video!
Thank you very kindly, some family legends do have truth to them. The further you go back in time for more likely you are to be related to them. Eventually we all cross paths genetically speaking. I starts to happen through kinship in the 15th century. Surprisingly being that I’m English, I’m a cousin by marriage to Pocahontas, Through her English husband.
You should do a little research and see if those legends are true 😊
A big thank you too and catch up soon 😊❤️
Waoowwww keren men
Thank you kindly 😊
Hi, Stephen and Yhana. Did you feel something unnatural force while you documenting and filming the forest? Is "Richard Turpin" is an American version of "Billy the Kid"? Yes, I remember your vid, "Hatfield Forrest," beautifully done. Yes, definitely, not go outside at night at all. Not only because of Richard Turpin, one of my security cams detected an adult black bear standing right next to the garbage bin in my backyard. I have a French patio door with full-size glass window...just hope it will never come back again. Although he was handsome in black fur, a taxido.Has Yhana decided on her Halloween costume this year?
Yhana is dressing up as a Tudor zombie lol 😆 she had a beautiful Tudor dress, which she cut up and covered in blood 🩸 lol
She enjoys Halloween 🎃 like myself 😊 I love the stories, myths and legends attached to it.
Stay safe with that black bear around buddy and hope he don’t come back.
I never felt anything in these woods, but I would love to go back at night 😊😊👻
@@StephenandYhana You and Yhana will have a wonderful "Halloween" Yes, I hope He won't come back, otherwise, my security cam will record pretty bloody footage.
Cool video ❤hello from Australia 😊👋❤️🚐
Thank you kindly for the comment 😊❤️ A big hello from the UK
the bomb impacts reminded me of the grenade I did not win ...
Lol 😂☺️ catch up soon buddy
Highwaymen and pirates, it would seem...🧐📺
Plenty of highwayman made that Forest their stomping ground. I can imagine it was very unsafe in the 18th century. Still is today, in one way or another 😊
Are there Forest Strawberry in Epping?
Robber Dick Turpin- all women's love novels are dedicated to him😍💞especially intimate scenes👄
