- Welcome to The Christmas Special 2023!
Warning: Please be aware that this video includes a story about a young woman being ‘seduced’ against her will. Some more accurate words to describe the incident could lead to red flags with certain platforms and the channel being removed. Some images are for illustration.
Today, we are going on a festive journey to look at the hauntings and stories at several locations across the UK. Who haunts Old Soar Manor in Kent? Was a farm girl murdered by a priest? Does a phantom man in red appear on New Year’s Eve in Cheshire and who haunts Buckingham Palace?
Some of the stories focus on historic events and I hope you feel that my video covers the sad side of history in a respectful and honest way, without the need for sensationalising the past. Please stay tuned to the end to hear an extended post script from me, Nicola, where I’ll share some thoughts on haunted object, a murder and a very special Christmas menu!
I’d like to wish all my viewers a very merry Christmas and a happy new year wherever you are in the world. I cannot thank you enough for your support for the channel; it’s been a fantastic year and I am so grateful to all my subscribers and viewers. The channel would not exist without you!

It's a nice video. However, it's a shame UA-cam does not allow use of the correct word in the first story. "Seduce" goes nowhere near the sheer violence and horror of a person being r@ped.
As I mentioned, though, it is a nice video.
You are 100% right about the language and I hate not being able to use the correct terms but you are bang on about the ‘rules’ of the platform. I appreciate your kind comment about the video and subtle way you pointed out the language point. Merry Christmas my friend 👻🙋♀️🎄
agree - I hate the stupid censorship. She was obviously R@B£D. Poor young thing.
I think "forced himself upon" conveys the right meaning without triggering the YT watchdogs.
How stupid that I can't use the word, even if I'm talking about the plant.
For the act, "ravished" or "violated" gets the point across and probably wouldn't be flagged.
It is so difficult because the rules change so frequently. I now have to tick a series of boxes every time I upload to ensure it doesn’t include ‘any of the following’ and the list just seems to keep becoming longer.
Your channel is a strangely comforting listen. My wife passed at Christmas and I feel her around a lot at this time of year. Hearing these stories makes me kind of hope that she is here with me. Thank you, and have a lovely Christmas
Sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, my friend. I am sure that many people who view the channel may be able to share experiences and feelings that might reinforce that your wife is with you in some way or form. I hope that you are not alone at Christmas and do feel free to, be part of the amazing community that my lovely viewers have created. I wish you absolute best wishes to you and I appreciate your wonderful comment. I don’t have any doubt; your wife IS with with you. With love, Nicola 🙏🙋♀️💕
Thank you, Nicola, for your lovely reply. I truly hope she is here, my one ghost experience is with her father, before we married. While I am not sure I want to see her standing at the end of the bed as I did him, I hope to see her again @@ghostcasebook1266
I only recently (Tue) just gone, visited my father's grave who died in 2020. I always aswell as flowers scatter a packet of salted peanuts by his headstone. Wasn't the best weather. But I did hear Thankyou Spider that's my nickname? Nobody else was around at the time. Benches were all wet so no chance anybody sitting around. It didn't bother me whatsoever, but it did startle me for a while. So it would of had to be my father 🙂 Which to me means he is at peace. I felt more at ease. Even though the weather was crap.
Wow that’s so interesting. I love that. Despite the weather, might there be an energy remaining there, I wonder 🤔🎄🙋♀️👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 Well there is a few more burials close by to where my father is buried, but I'm not familiar with these people. I will take a device next time I visit. And see if I can interact with my father.
You have a wonderful voice and story telling style, I love the fact that you don't speak too quickly. Too many youtubers still gabble like it's a word race! Great stories, interesting and intruiging with the right amount of spookiness. Thanks, and a merry Christmas to you.
Oh wow thank you ever so much! I try to be clear but I know when I am nervous I speak quickly (as I did in my earlier videos!) but I think I have found a bette pace there days. I did have a comment from someone who said they don’t use closed captions on my videos which was one of the most lovely comments I have ever received! Meant a great deal to me so thank you again for your kind words 👻🙋♀️🎄
I agree, love the commentary which is so clear and pleasant on the ear. Great stories. Love it.
I love that GC's videos are like someone reading to a group- especially when there's an occasional aside or comment. As a kid I always loved being read to, which probably explains why I love UA-cam videos like this, and audiobooks so much LOL It's comforting, and just more fun to feel like one is sharing the experience if nobody else is there.
What a treat. Log fire, glass of wine and your ghost stories at Christmas. Thank you. You’ve made my Christmas 🎄Merry Christmas to you too
Oh wow thank you ever so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure and merry Christmas and happy new year to you too Lesley 👻🎄🙋♀️
Lucky you. I'm in an old rusting car with a tarp attached. But hey, at least I've got internet.
I agree--a treat. However, instead of wine I enjoyed a tall screwdriver 🪛🍸
I just realised the irony that ghosts, while being dead, keep the history of places alive.
Absolutely. I am astonished at how much I can learn about history via ghost stories and I hope you enjoy too 🎄🙋♀️👻
I live about quarter of a mile from Bramall Hall and we always grew up with stories of the 'Red Rider' and that you can hear the galloping of the horse on the cobbles on New Years Eve but also the bell to the door ringing, growing up I knew a lot of people who would go up there NYE to see if they could witness anything... and it's an absolutely beautiful place to visit too
Thank you ever so much for sharing this; that’s so interesting! It’s a big place and super impressive. Have you been tobogganing there? 👻🙋♀️🎄🤔
Loved all your Christmas ghost stories. Loved, as you stated, the fact that Christmas time is traditionally the time for telling them. Finally I love that you are, in a way, celebrating that tradition. Your own story ( about the mirror ) was my favourite and because of an incident I experienced about two years ago I believe that mirrors are indeed portals. My experience was so terrifying that I’ve not told anyone about it.
Now is the time for me to wish you and your family and friends a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I hope Santa is very good to you.🎄❤️🙏😊
Thank you so much Iain and I really appreciate your kind words. I agree, I’d like to encourage the telling of stories and if my channel does this in some capacity I’m very happy. The mirror at my friend’s house was a strange one but none of us laughed or tried to uncover them because my friend was absolutely serious about seeing her gran. We respected that fact. I’m interested that you see them as portals too. I think many viewers would agree with you too. Merry Christmas to you 👻🎄🙋♀️
I have absolutely fallen in love with your storytime and your telling of the old lands and memories of them. I'll always be a huge fan! May you have a beautiful blessed Christmas ⛄ and a peaceful New Year 🎊 thank you for your channel and being so kind. ✌🏻
Aww thank you kindly! You are so kind and I appreciate your comment. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family. Lots more to come in 2024 too 👻🎄🙋♀️
In the early 1990's I was shown a photo of two friends of mine unpacking in their new flat here in Australia, in the mirror behind them is the distinct image of the lower face and chest of a woman wearing what appears to be a tudor dress..my friends had no interest in antiques, ghosts or history and had no skills in photo manipulation so what is in that photo still baffles and haunts me to this day.
Wow that’s a creepy story and I really appreciate that you shared it with us! How odd! I love that this was in by accident as such. It is interesting that images in mirrors can be captured and difficult to explain! Merry Christmas to you 👻🙋♀️🎄
Australian comedian/radio announcer Kate Lanbrook and her family spent COVID holed up in a medieval building in Bologna, upon arriving she took a selfie infront of a beautiful ornate renaissance mirror in the living room (anything over 200 is ancient for us)..she sent it to family and friend immediately she was inandated with messages of 'look behind you!". In the reflection of the mirror, the spirit of a woman in long robes (nun?) with a small child standing behind her.
Thank you Nicola! A really lovely episode. So many neat haunted places I had never heard of before. Poor Jenny. I have personally felt old mirrors can be creepy. And I have heard objects can retain energy. My Spiritualist church will not hold tag sales as a result. There used to be a store nearby that sold salvaged furniture and such from demolished buildings. I went there once and there WAS a weird feel to some of the pieces. I decided I like new furniture only as a result! This was a lovely video to welcome Christmas. Wishing you and your family and everyone reading this many wishes for a Happy and Healthy Holiday season. 😊🙋♀️🥰🕊🙏. PS I think Jenny deserves prayers for her to find peace.
Thank you as ever for your continued support of the channel. I am so glad you enjoyed the different stories and I agree, some sad stories where power sadly seems to overpower those without. That’s so interesting about your church and haunted objects. Merry Christmas to you my friend and happy new year as always 👻🙋♀️🎄🐱🙏👍
Love a 'proper' ghost story at Christmas. A story properly read is far more atmospheric than anything on TV.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Thank you ever so much Neil and thank you kindly. Merry Christmas to you and your family too 👻🎄🙋♀️
I was hoping there would be one before Christmas - thanks so much. Season's greetings and best wishes for the new year. 🎄✨
Happy holidays! Same to you my friend and thank you for taking the time to comment. I know you are a fan of the channel and I just would like to thank you for your kind support and wonderful comments 👻🙋♀️🎄
Nothing like a good Xmas ghost story. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much 👻🙋♀️🎄
A very happy Christmas to you too Nicola. I can't believe how much this channel has grown! So well deserved I have to say. I hope the lady that sold that mirror on actually told the purchaser it's history!!! Scary. My Mums side of the family were from Swansea and had many ghost stories to share, sadly they've all passed now but I always remember my Grandma saying nobody should look in a mirror after midnight. Frightened the life out of me as a child when getting up to use the bathroom. Lol.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too. 2023 has been a mad year for the channel and I am so grateful for my subscribers! I love that your family are from Swansea. I did cover Mumbles in my Ghosts of Wales video and we used to holiday in Gower when we were young. I love this about your gran and thank you for sharing! 👻🎄🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 Yes I remember the excellent Mumbles video. I've wonderful childhood memories of it and the Beautiful Gower Coast. x
Your dear grandmother was right. Many years ago (around 25ish) I was stood late one night, in the early hours actually, I stood in front of a mirror hanging on my fireplace wall in the living room. My children and husband were in bed asleep, so I was alone downstairs. I remember being upset about something and stood looking in the mirror in a semi-lit room. I was staring at myself and questioning myself on what to do about whatever problem that had upset me. After a while I started to sense something or someone behind me staring back at me. I couldn't see anything but the feeling was so strong and I had a sense of foreboding. I immediately walked away from the mirror and went straight upstairs to bed. Never forgot that incident in near 30 years.
@@louiseanderson1505 Oh my goodness that must have been very scary! It's definitely an experience you're not likely to forget.
what a great Christmas gift!!!! new content from Ghost Casebook!! Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you ever so much and merry Christmas to you my friend 🙋♀️👻🎄
Thankyou, Nicola. Always enjoyed the tradition of ghost stories at Christmas, or whenever people were gathered in winter, around a fire. I suppose televison etc put an end to that, as an entertainment. The haunted mirror is a really spooky one! I believe objects can be haunted; a friend of mine told me of a large wardrobe or cupboard in her parent's first home, that was haunted by a woman. Her mother used to see this woman sneaking in and out of it, and was so distressed that her father finally agreed to get rid of it. It was so large, it had to be broken up, to be taken out of the house. A neighbour, seeing the work, asked if he could have the thing, and that was agreed. Many years later, my friend happened to mention it to one of that neighbour's familly, (who didn't know where the cupboard had come from) , and they told her that it frightened the heck out of the kids for years. Anyway, happy Christmas and New Year, and keep up the good work!
Wow Chris! What an amazing story. That is so interesting and lots of viewers have commented on experiences with haunted mirrors or seeing something in the mirror. I love this and I appreciate that you took the time to share. Merry Christmas my friend xxx 👻🙋♀️🎄
Excellent ghost stores as always, Nicola. My sister firmly believed that mirrors were portals to spirit realms. I was spooked as a child about that idea, but relieved that I haven't seen anything - yet. 👻 Merry Christmas.🎄 Nadolig llawen a blwyddyn newydd dda. ☃
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I love that about your sister. How fascinating! And thank you ever so much! Merry Christmas to you and your family too 👻🙋♀️🎄
Thank you so much Nicola for another brilliant video, I never miss one! Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 xx
You are so welcome! I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and merry Christmas to you and your friends and family. Happy new year too!
So glad I discovered your channel this year. Thanks for some outstanding content and hope you have a fab Christmas and new year, Nicola.
Thank you! You too! I am so grateful for your kind words and support, Jason, and I know you’ve been a follower for a long time. I appreciate this so much and there’s lots more to come! With best wishes and season’s greetings, Nicola xx👻🙋♀️🎄
Hi Nicola awesome live video I enjoyed it how are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin he's big and happy. Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2024 to you. All your videos are always enjoyable and wonderful. See you next video 😊 have a great weekend
Thank you! You too! I’m hoping Benjamin is all warm and wrapped up! I must be reincarnated as one of your cats! Merry Christmas my friend Michelle and Benjamin and happy new year! 🐱😻🎄🙋♀️👻
Mirror gazing or skrying is a very ancient way to commune with spirits. The ancient Greeks did it in an underground psychomanteum (at Delphi, I believe) with very highly polished metal cauldrons filled with water. The famous NDE researcher and author Dr. Raymond Moody actually built a psychomanteum at his home in Alabama and had guests visit it and most of them were able to see deceased loved ones in a large mirror in his psychomanteum or soon afterwards, such as in a mirror in a hotel room they stayed in. This was documented on a television show with Diane Sawyer, I believe.
Thank you so much; this is a very interesting comment and I have heard of skrying although I am too chicken to do it! I love this. What do you think about mirrors? Do you believe they can be portals? Thank you for taking the time to comment and merry Christmas to you my friend 🙋♀️👻🎄
I think skrying is much less dangerous than ouija boards. Ouija boards can open portals to low level spirits out to do mischief or harm. Best not to fool with them. I did as a child and young adult with no ill effect that I am aware of but stay far away from them. Going on the information from Dr. Moody I do believe mirrors can be used for connecting to spirits of deceased loved ones but whether or not they are portals I am not at all sure. Moody had a long, narrow mirror in an ornate wooden frame mounted on a "gimble" that could be adjusted so the sitter was looking into an infinite clear depth. You saw no reflection other than be blackness of the velvet that was draped across the top, back, and sides of the psychomanteum as I recall. The space created by the velvet was dark save for a small watt electric light behind the sitter's chair which was tilted slightly upwards. The psychomanteum was a small space enclosed in black velvet blocking out all external light so that it could be used in daylight hours. It usually did not take long before the sitter saw people in the mirror. Most saw someone. I seem to recall that some sitters even said the people that appeared would come right out of the mirror and stand in front of them or to the side! @@ghostcasebook1266
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Nicola!. 🎄🎅The story about the mirror was very creepy.👻
Happy holidays! Same to you my friend Don 🎄🙋♀️👻
Fantastic what a xmas treat chinese a few beers and my favourite channel on the tube 👍
I love this! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too 🙋♀️👻🎄
Such lovely people leaving sweet comments on this channel. I feel comforted just hanging out here with you all. 🥰 and the videos and narrations are wonderful! My new fav channel🤗found on Christmas night so wishing all a very Merry Christmas🎄💕🎄
You're the best! Thank you ever so much and I do agree; I am so privileged to have such lovely viewers who respect different points of view, often share their experiences and make the comments section a kind and interesting place. I am so pleased you’ve discovered the channel and welcome! Merry Christmas to you and your family xx 🎄🙋♀️👻
Indeed- sometimes the toxicity of many comments sections makes me think allowing just anyone to write something is the worst idea anyone ever had; but then really nice sections like this one balance that out, showing that they can be very uplifting and provide a true sense of community, and how lovely sharing positive thoughts with others can really be :)
I think I have the kindest and most considerate viewers who leave comments here. I like that some believe, some don’t but can still be respectful at the same time. Thank you Matt 👻🙋♀️
Im not too far from Bramall Hall it is a beautiful building
Yes indeed! Have you ever been tobogganing there? I loved the stories from there, even though they are sad 👻🙋♀️🎄
@@ghostcasebook1266 too old and achy to get on a sledge now😂
Many thanks for another ghost video. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2024!
Same to you! Thank you kindly for watching a merry Christmas 🙋♀️👻🎄
The story of the mirror was scary indeed! I buy many things from antique shops and always wondered if any energies are still retained in those objects. Great video and Merry Christmas!
So true! I love this! Have to you ever had a haunted item though? I think I’d be a bit freaked out! 👻🙋♀️🎄
@@ghostcasebook1266 no feeling of haunting thank goodness but always mindful of it. I let objects to somehow ‘choose’ me before I even consider buying it, just so that I know ‘they’ will accept me as their new custodian…
I have an interesting story BTW about my late brother and mirrors that I will email you.🙋♀️🕊😊
Please do my friend 👻🙋♀️🎄
775 room in one palace? I will bet a lot of money that few (if any) of the royals who squatted at Buckingham ever visited all 775 rooms!
Yes apparently 775 rooms!
What an amazing collection of stories from the past.
As you told them and described the events I got quite upset.
Especially the one about the Young Kitchen maid - what an awful experience.
It is unusual to find a channel describing events from the past in this way.
Please do more !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much. Sad stories, I agree and I had to use the word ‘seduce’ as a more accurate word I could cause a flag on the channel, sadly. Stories of abuse of power are all too common sadly but I will continue with the channel for sure in 2024. Season’s greetings to you Angelique 👻🙋♀️🎄
I just LOVE your channel. I wish we had more ghost stories at Christmas. On the case of the DNA chances of the purported two Princes in the tower. It's said that King Charles would be more open to it than his Mother. I am interested in this case as well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year GC!
Wow thank you ever so much and merry Christmas to you and your friends and family. My letter was posted on Monday so I hope I’ll get a response of some sort! You are correct that QEII didn’t want to authorise the DNA tests, but maybe we will get an answer from the palace? 🤔🙋♀️👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 I’ve only heard of them doing Xmas cards for people. Not actually answering questions, unless you're a brilliant or at least well known historian. But I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! Don't forget to send the King a Christmas card and William & Catherine, I know the Duke & Duchess send back Xmas cards. Not sure if Charles does but sent one just in case….lol
My mum has had some Christmas cards from Charles back in the 1990s and early 2000s as she was linked to the Prince’s trust through her work. They were lovely watercolours by Charles. Well, who knows, I might get a reply. Here’s an interesting article you might like:
www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1829653/one-royal-resident-queen-camilla-hauntings
My step Brother and his wife and step child were stationed in the UK in the 70's. The daughter met the Queen in the silver jubilee year when she went to an Oxforshire Daycare and they gave her a commemorative coin, but she was 3 and too little to remember it. lol Her Mom went to see Charles play polo at some pitch, he was drunk and fell off his horse several times. lol Their Xmas cards are nice, every year I get one from Duke & Duchess of Cambridge. A couple years ago it was a really and iconic and nice b&w of just him and Catherine, very nice. Usually it's just a family photo. @@ghostcasebook1266
That was a great article! Where they went wrong was the remodel...always stirs stuff up. Asthe Head of the Church he could have the home exorcised...@@ghostcasebook1266
fantastic vid very well presented keep them coming have a great Christmas and new year..
Thanks, you too! I’m so grateful for your kind words of encouragement my friend 👻🙋♀️🎄
Absolutely...people can come back. My Husband and I live in Philadelphia and
have had many paranormal experiences!! Have a wonderful.New Years
Thank you ever so much and feel free to email me 👻🙋♀️
Thanks Nicola Merry Christmas
Same to you! Thank you so much Melinda 👻🙋♀️🎄
I see an old mirror and I wonder, What has it seen? Who and what has been reflected in all its existance? Perhaps some mirrors can contain all the images ever reflected, and reflect some of the stronger ones back to us. Thanks for this Christmas special. As is all your work it's wonderful.
I love this! Thank you ever so much and you make a really interesting point. Merry Christmas my friend 👻🙋♀️🎄
So if the royal family subscribe to your channel, are you going to add 'By Royal Appointment' to your name? 😄 And a Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you and yes I do want to be by royal appointment and have a crest! Or at least an OBE for services to ghosts ha ha!🙋♀️👻🎄
As a frequent visitor and local of Bramall Hall I loved these ghost stories. The Hall is beautiful, I've never felt anything supernatural when visiting, but you can feel the history in every nook and cranny. Many summer days picnicking have been spent with my two now teenager daughters, in the halls grounds. Feeding the ducks by the old pond and Pooh sticks in the river... I was particularly sad to hear about the snowy day accident. I've visited the park on many a snow day and it's just fairytale magical ✨️
Thank you my friend and I love this. Yes the sledging accident was very sad and it seems the lake must have been very frozen as that was the end point. Perhaps the winters were that much harsher then, but I agree, very sad. 🙋♀️🎄👻
❤❤❤ Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.
Same to you! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your friends and family too 👻🎄🙋♀️
Thank you. In Victorian times the ghost story was a fixture, so nice to honor that! Poor Jenny! Back when 'seduced' often meant raped.
Yes it absolutely does but I don’t want to flag up the video so I have to be very careful with my content in that respect, sadly.
@@ghostcasebook1266 thanks for clarifying!
Thank you! Delightful as always! I love your little follow up stories and the historic postcards.
Glad you like them! I do have a lot of stuff to be honest! I am glad you enjoy the stories. I do think Aunt Hilda doesn’t sound like she messes around ha ha! 🙋♀️🎄👻
Watching this on a dreary, wet , rainy, and miserably cold Christmas Day. How wonderful to curl up with my favorite blanket, a mug of french vanilla cappuccino and listen to ghost stories.
I love this! French vanilla cappuccino sounds interesting! So pleased you enjoy the video and Merry Christmas to you too 👻🙋♀️🎄
I come from London and my friend once asked me } do you think this house is haunted “? I answered “Apart from the new builds nearly every house in London is haunted hun!”. It’s very true .
Yes I see my wife who passed away 3 years ago
Aww that is lovely..im still waiting 10 years on ❤
Paul you are very kind for sharing this and I wish you all the best for this holiday season. I am so sorry that your wife passed and I hope you are really well. Lots of people are sharing their stories in the comments and it seems many people see their loved ones in the mirrors for sure ❤️👻🎄🙋♀️
A lovely listen to all these stories and the Dorchester mirror one is so fascinating, though scary. Your friend's house in Cardiff sounds beautiful.! Hope you hear from the Palace in due course 🤴...the menu was amazing! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and look forward to next year's vids from your good self.
Glad you enjoyed it Celeste and thank you ever so much for your continued support this year. I do hope to hear from the palace; can you imagine?! I will let you know in time and thank you again for your wonderful comments and brilliant thoughts on the stories. They are a delight to read x 👻🎄🙋♀️
What a wonderful post for Christmas Eve! We get history and mystery, ghosties and post cards from the past! Thank you!
Thank you so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the video too 👻🎄🙋♀️
Thank you. I understand why you'd use a different word. I hope she found peace!
Diolch this was so interesting, have a good one :-)
Thanks, you too! Diolch my friend too! I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure 👻🎄🙋♀️
And thank goodness someone has written to King Charles III about DNA testing the bones found in the Tower!
Well I wrote the letter on Sunday and it would have been received maybe yesterday (Wed or Thursday maybe) I know the Royal Family will be at Sandrignham but I still asked if any of the staff have experienced anything too. I didn’t gift wrap it on this occasion ha ha! But I’d love to get a reply. We will wait and see!
@@ghostcasebook1266Buckingham Palace is well known to be very haunted; Windsor as well. After careful observation, I had come to the conclusion that the late QEII was “in tune” somehow with the spirit world and open to the paranormal. I don’t believe that is the case with King Charles III. I came across a story where one of the royal horses was “off”. So, according to the story I read, an animal communicator was called in by QEII to find out why! It’s a cute story.
So many people want to know if those bones from the Tower staircase are indeed those of the two missing princes. Can’t wait to hear what happens with respect to your letter. Best wishes and be well.🥰🙋♀️😊🕊🎄
I will let you know if I get a reply for sure. It would be interesting though! 🙋♀️❤️👻🎄
Funny, I was just thinking of Tom Jones and The Green Green Grass of Home this morning. I wondered if he was the first to sing it? I remember my late Aunt Ann who lived in the very haunted St. John's Wood Court Close - bombed during the war - any bodies and those of children buried underneath - was watching a concert of Tom Jones late at night. She cried her eyes out when she realized he was going to die. She described the song in great detail. She was a great story teller having told us about every ghost that lived in her house. From a pranking child, to a dark, malevolent one who causes her pillow to breathe. After her husband's death she moved to America and brought many antiques back which had been in her husband's family for hundreds of years. Upon moving into a condo decorated with the furnishings, after sleeping in the bedroom, she decided never to go in there again preferring to sleep on the couch. She claimed that a demon was in the bedroom. It was manifested through the walls. Her priest said that it came over with the furniture, and to get rid of it. She didn't, preferring to sleep in the house. I tried to recite prayers and throw Holy Water but, entering the bedroom, my eyes fell on an oddly designed chair. Immediately I felt a presence which petrified me. This was no ordinary ghost. This was a demon. Possibly the dark one from St. John's Wood, or attached to the land the new condominium complex was built upon? Her husband was invited to Queen Elizabeth's coronation and held the post of Lt. Commander in the Royal Navy owned a family home in Scotland which had been in the family for 500 yrs and contained paintings of his family going back that far. He sold it because Ann wanted to live in London. His daughter Robina was willed the house by his late brother. She took the inheritance and fixed up the house. Deciding she didn't want to use her education from Oxford and Art education in Italy, to reenter Berkeley to become a journalist. She sold the family home. Upon hearing it, her father died of a broken heart. She was just as thoughtful of her mother before she died as well. But that is another sad story.
Thank you for your wonderful work all year! Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!
I know that time is irrelevant but I do wonder what induces images to return after so long an interval in terrestrial time.
A super and spooky video for Christmas! I can't explain why I don't like mirrors, other than they give me the creeps, and I hope that the mirror in your story has been destroyed. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you as well!
Thank you Sue. That’s so interesting that you feel mirrors are creepy. I agree! Merry Christmas to you and your family too 👻🙋♀️🎄
Thank you for another brilliant video,perfect for Christmas morning before the madness begins 😂I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻
I really hope you had a great Christmas Day and you were able to relax and watch the video in peace before the drama unfolded! 🎄🙋♀️👻
Saved this for Xmas eve. Bit of Xmas cake( Mercedes rule applied, thanks Mr GC, you legend) and a bucket of tea. This is a very thoughtful present to all your subscribers 😊. Bramall Hall is a new one on me, touching story of Alice.😢. I wish you and Mr GC a fantastic Xmas, and before I slip into a diabetic coma, a happy, healthy New Year. Thank you for making 2023 a super year 🤩🤩🥰
Oh Walking dad don’t call mr GC a legend! I don’t want to massage his ego any further ha ha! I love that you have a bucket of tea. I have one of those big Sports Direct mugs they used to send out and I think it holds a pint of tea! Ideal! Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you ever so much for your kind comments and support for the channel! Merry Christmas to you and yours too 👻🎄🙋♀️
Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎄🎄
As to Ghost Stories at Xmas, do you remember when the BBC would put on a story a day or so before Xmas? "The Signalman" with Denholm Elliott was a favourite.
My Wife, Sue, remembers the covering up of the Mirrors to stop Ghosts "returning". But the story reminds me a, don't giggle, Dr Who tale where he defeats a villainous group and uniquely punishes each, separately, and one is confined to All Mirrors only to be quickly glimpsed. Spooky.
Finally, I truly hope that you will be able to get some information from Buckingham Palace about the suicide of Edward VII's personal secretary,Major John Gwyn & NO you ain't a bit mad, just closing the door on the story by asking for their take, knowledge.
Thank you Gerard and merry Christmas to you and your family. I do remember the BBC programme you mentioned and I think they did one last year. Have you watched ‘inside number 9’ on BBC as they have done some Christmas specials and they were excellent. I do love the Signalman, one,of my favourites! I haven’t seen the Dr Who episode but it sounds interesting! Thank you for your comment about the palace. Perhaps Major John Gwynne had a different role at the palace, who knows? I hope I get a royal crest or maybe an OBE ha ha! 🙋♀️👻
Holy.......... Thanks Nicola! Never had a shoutout before! I didn't get chance to watch on the day itself as I went out for the evening, just woke up to this! Merry Christmas!😁
No worries! Happy birthday and merry Christmas Rob! Hope you had a fun day 🙋♀️👻🎄🐱🍺🍻
I've just listened to your programme all the way through twice. It's a gentle, reasonable voice. Nothing sensationalised. I'm sure anyone interested in hearing such stories has stories of their own and listen in an understanding way.
Thank you so much and what a kind comment! I am an enthusiastic amateur so I try to keep the videos quite straightforward and tell the stories as best as I can. I’m so glad you enjoyed enough to watch twice! Merry Christmas to you 👻🎄🙋♀️
Has any member of the royal family ever seen any ghosts in Buckingham Palace?
I am not entirely sure but they have at Windsor, Balmoral and Sandringham, apparently! 👻🙋♀️🎄
To @uhlijohn: I hope you don’t mind me jumping in. Yes, Buckingham Palace is well known to have ghosts AND underground passages.
Very well made videos, haven't checked the uploads for a while, Will screen them now...greetings, Tom, Belgium.
Welcome back! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you Tom! 👻🙋♀️🎄
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year or in Swedish....God Jul och Gott Nytt År, from a Swede in Glasgow!
Excellent video, as always!
Same to you! Merry Christmas my friend! Thank you ever so much and so glad you enjoyed the video too 👻🙋♀️🎄
Thankyou Nicola , lovely video, I’ve never heard of covering mirrors up that’s a first for me , I hope you will get a reply from the palace, the menu I couldn’t eat all that either, have a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the new year
You’re welcome 😊 Sue I have another strange story about ‘letting spirits out’ as such but I think I’ll keep that for a New Year’s Day broadcast as such 👻🙋♀️🎄👻 and thank you so much for your wonderful support for the channel. It means a great deal to me and merry Christmas my friend 👍❤️
Never mind the Princes in the Tower, I'd love to know the results of DNA tests on the current princes, one of them anyway...nudge nudge wink wink...
That’s a controversial comment 😆
I Love your English voice I miss Blighty! And Tesco and Sainsbury's..odd comment but I do miss London James in Germany
I understand completely. One of my friends lived in Italy for work for a few years and she missed English strawberries and Birds custard the most! 👻🙋♀️🎄
What a fantastic video, brilliant!! So interesting, I have heard spirits can use mirrors to visit loved ones, scrying as well can supposedly help spirits some themselves, that is a tradition in Ireland also to cover mirrors, amazing stuff. I hope Buckingham Palace gets back to you on your inquiries, would be good to hear. Christmas is always a time for rememberence, can be a sad time, thanks for the video, you are brilliant, Merry Christmas to and Happy New Year, may 2024 be another SPOOKY one for you, Val.
Thank you ever so much for your kind comment and merry Christmas to you and your family. I will definitely get back if the palace respond and thank you for your points about mirrors. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video for sure! 👻🎄🙋♀️
From Ontario, Canada - enjoyed this very much, thank you. Regards the idea of a mirror portal - yup, I think it's possible, yikes! Merry Christmas.
Interesting! Hello to you in Ontario! I must get back to Canada one day. I was there for the summer holidays when I was 18 and I made it to Toronto but not beyond. I remember how beautiful it was 👻🙋♀️🎄Merry Christmas to you and your family 👻
My high school prom was held on the Queen Mary. Beautiful place
Oh wow! Fantastic. I assume it didn’t involve tongue omelettes! ha ha!👻👻🎄🙋♀️🍺
@@ghostcasebook1266 no. Hahahaha. I just wish I had known at the time its haunted. I'd looked for spirits.
Thank you for this lovely, well-put-together video. I loved it! Season's Greetings from Australia. x🎄🎄x
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind comment. Merry Christmas and I love Australia. I hope to go there again in 2025 maybe xx🙋♀️👻🎄
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Nicola! Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos throughout the year!! Nollaig shona duit!
You are so welcome! Thank you ever so much my friend and stay tuned for 2024 👻🙋♀️🎄💕
That was great, as always, and yes I do believe there is something between those beyond the veil and mirrors. Somehow. I can't appropriately describe it, other than point to the way various cultures see it, albeit the beliefs in the afterlife are quite different.
Ok, so this occurred in excess of 35 years ago.
A dear friend, just 17 at the time, was killed in a car accident. I thought the guy calling to tell me was playing some kind of cruel or practical joke, simply b/c my own 16 yr old brain couldn't handle or process the news.
Anyway, as the evening wore on it was confirmed, repeatedly. Its to this day still a gut punch. 17 years old. :(
My bedroom was in a basement...I had a full dresser with the attached mirror, and for a second, maybe 2, I'd have SWORE I saw her looking back. It freaked me out so bad I couldn't look in that mirror again for a while.
So I can say with a true heart, I absolutely do believe there's something there, tho what it really is...IDK. Maybe its just their final or maybe only way of saying goodbye, we still simply don't know enough of what happens to us when the broken body has got to be left behind and the spirit moves on. I believe it does. I have too, which I think many do.
Just my opinion!!! Peace...y'all. :)
Wow firstly so sorry to hear of your friend passing away at such a young age. That’s so sad and I am sure it affected you deeply. I appreciate you sharing your experience about the mirror to. I hear you when you say it may have been a final goodbye. Dod it scare you or did it reassure you perhaps? Thank you again and Merry Christmas to you 👻🙋♀️🎄
Wonderful recounting of very well-researched, spooky stories - thank you! I don't believe in the mirror portal. In my bedroom, there are 2 antique mirrors, both starting to show their silvering, due to their age. One is on my grandmother's vanity, from around 1900. The other is on a chest of drawers valet top piece, which looks like late 1800's and was from my husband's grandparents. No issue with those, though sometimes I do think about all the images these mirror have seen.
My parents both traveled across the Atlantic on the Queen Mary, back in the day. We do have some photos, as the ship would take images to sell to the passengers. In fact, I was able to visit the docked ship, in California, about 20 years ago. I knew about its haunted tales & carefully took in the beautiful spaces, thinking about my parents' trips and all the other people once upon it, as we toured the ship. Sadly, or perhaps fortunately!, I saw nothing unusual.
A Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones!
🎅☃
Thank you ever so much for sharing your wonderful stories. Mirrors, I think, can really freak people out but I hear your point that you don’t think they are portals. I love that your parents were on the Queen Mary; might they have indulged in a tongue omelette? 🤢 I love the Queen Mary and she’s just such a beautiful ship! Impressive history too as well as being haunted! 🙋♀️👻🎄
Where he "seduced" her? 😢
l will be very honest; there are some words and expressions that can be flagged by social media platforms. I know exactly what you are getting at but I hope you understand that certain words could even mean the channel, under current regulations, could be cancelled entirely. But you are right, for sure.
What a wonderful find right before Christmas, Merry Christmas from Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario, Canada
Thanks for watching! Greetings to you in Ontario! Merry Christmas to you and your family 👻🎄🙋♀️
Awesome as always, perfect mix of history and ghost stories.
Chilled vibe as always.
Wow such a kind comment! Thanks for listening and I am so glad you enjoyed. Seasons greetings to you! 👻🙋♀️🎄
Merry Christmas to everyone! Thank you for the lovely video!♥️🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁⛄⛄⛄❤
Same to you! Glad you enjoyed the video for sure 👻🙋♀️
Thank u for a wonderful video!
Merry HO HO from Alberta 🇨🇦
Looking forward to many more videos of yours in New year
Happy holidays! Merry Christmas. I have been to Alberta (Calgary) a long time ago and it was fabulous. I’d like to go back in the future and travel more in wonderful Canada. Merry Christmas Kimmy! 👻🎄🙋♀️
Merry Christmas Nicola 😍this is your best video yet. The story about the priest is so unjust! Real treachery involved in that one I think. Here’s to every success for you in 2024!! 🎉
Wow thank you ever so much! That’s so kind. I agree, sadly stories of people being taken advantage of is all too common, I’m afraid. Thank you for you support and Merry Christmas to you too 🙋♀️👻🎄
Wonderfully researched, as always. I'm definitely a skeptic -- though I love ghost stories -- but mirrors have always creeped me out. To the point that I refuse to have one in my bedroom. Anyway -- thank you for all your work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours :)
I love this! Thank you for your very honest comment. That’s really interesting! Merry Christmas to you and your family too my friend 🙋♀️🎄👻
HAPPY CHRISTMAS! Well in a couple of days.. I will play this on Christmas Eve I've been waiting to hear your other Christmas one too. 🎅🤶🎅🍾🧚♀️👻
James, you have been such a wonderfully loyal video viewer and I absolutely thank you for your support for the channel. I do hope you’ll enjoy the video and have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thank you again, with absolute gratitude 👻🎄🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 I LOVE your channel but I must listen/ watch things about Christmas at Christmas...Imagine watching Scrooge in August? Oh no..Only 2 days to wait with an Irish Coffee! 🥃☕🥃🎅👻🍾🥂
You do it as you see fit my lovely friend! I hope you’ll really enjoy it and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year for sure! 👻🙋♀️🎄👻🍺
Wonderful post. I look forward to all of your videos when you post them. I had my cup of tea ready when I started watching, it seems only right. Have a Merry Christmas.
Wow, thank you! Yes I love my tea. I tried to get into coffee but the problem is, it’s not tea! Merry Christmas to you 👻🙋♀️🎄
I know ghosts exist. I like the mirror one best. Mirrors were used for scrying. I've no doubt whatever that there are many bad feelings and evil doings at Buck Palace. Nice video.
Thank you ever so much for your comment and for sharing your thoughts on mirrors. Some people are definitely freaked out by them for sure! 🙋♀️👻🎄
What beautifully presented and interesting videos. I am a fan! Thanks you.
Many thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed the video and the stories! Merry Christmas to you and thank you again 🙋♀️👻🎄
Thank you for another wonderful video. I wish you a Merry Christmas and every success in the New Year! ❤️
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas my friend 🙋♀️🐱💕🐱🙋♀️🐱🐱🐱❤️
thank you for the xmas ghost stories the one about the mirror is quite unnerving, I know it sounds odd but I was in the ladies loos in Morrisons(Aylesbury) washing my hands and I swear I saw some thing move in the wall mirror behind me but I was the only one in there (all the cubicle doors were open) im not sure what was there before the super market but if I need the loo there again I don't look in the mirrors and get out asap ! I I also think that the "dead of night" story about the haunted mirror was 2nd creepiest of the film the 1st place going to the ventriloquist's dummy story ! I hope you hear back from Buckingham palace and merry xmas :)
Wow thank you Vez. I do think that’s interesting and I wonder if something was lurking there. lots of paranormal activity happens in loos and some sa the spirits are drawn to water! 👻🙋♀️
I think of your channel now as an old friend and get a little buzz when a new vid drops in. Merry Christmas Nicola keep up your truly perfect narration and spiffing vids xx
Oh wow thank you ever so much! I love that! There will be more to come in the new year too so stay tuned 🙋♀️👻🎄
I'm a bit late watching this (boxing day). Thank you for these videos always great to have another of your videos.
Glad you like them! 👻🎄
Poor Jenny..a pretty girl❤
I agree 👻🎄
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and your family.
The movie Mirrors freaked me out that much, that it took me a week before I could look in a mirror again 😅 So I don't like to think about what can be seen in a mirror 🦇
I know what you mean about the mirrors being freaky. I hear you completely on this. A number of viewers would definitely agree! 🙋♀️👻🎄
Great stuff! You sound more West Country than Welsh, Though. Thanks for saying stone instead of pounds or kilos.
Yes I do have family links to Somerset many generations ago but Wales is where I was born and bred. Yes stones, feet and inches for me! 👻🙋♀️🎄
Ghost stories at Christmas! Thank you and a very Happy Christmas to you.
I have to admit, I have an old mirror that belonged to my great-grandparents, and it sometimes makes me a little uneasy.
Thank you so much and merry Christmas to you too! What is it about mirrors? A lot of people have commented that they are very uneasy around them for sure! 🎄🙋♀️👻
A very enjoyable episode. I really hope you get a reply from the Palace 🤞🏻Hope you are having a lovely Christmas and a very happy new year.
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas to you too Linda and I am so glad you enjoyed the video 👻🙋♀️🎄
I see (and your video has gotten me thinking) that mirrors over the centuries have been used as tools of divination (scrying).Hmmm.
Yes indeed they are. Creepy though! 👻🙋♀️🎄
Thanks for another great episode Nicola. Hope you have a very happy Christmas and new year 😃
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas Emma 🎄🎄👻🙋♀️
I also found the haunted mirror story quite creepy. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you ever so much. Yes the comments really show that a lot of people feel mirrors are a bit strange in a way! Merry Christmas to you 🙋♀️👻🎄
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you ever so much. Merry Christmas to you too 🙋♀️👻🎄
Well hello and Merry Christmas, new subscriber here. I like your style.
Thank you kindly and welcome! Merry Christmas to you too! 👻🎄🙋♀️
I loved you beautiful film. Of course you know why I'd love to live in every one of those buildings
100% agree! 🙋♀️👻🎄🙋♀️
Happy Christmas happy new year love your channel so interesting 😊
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas and thank you kindly 👻🎄🙋♀️
❤ So love this... Merry Christmas to Nicola and her loved ones.🌲
Oh thank you kindly and Merry Christmas to you and your family too 🙋♀️👻🎄
I'm wondering why you didn't peek in the mirror when all we're asleep...
Hello and thank you! I think because my friend was so serious about her gran we were bordering on freaking out but I think we respected the family’s decision to cover them. I admit , in a way, it might have been fun to peek though ha ha! 👻🎄🙋♀️
Great video but you didn’t need to state 2 different ghosts in the Culpepper segment. No one would have assumed that the two ghosts were one ghost
Thank you and merry Christmas Sophie 👻🙋♀️🎄
I live in the south here in the U.S. It used to be custom when a person died in the home, all the mirrors were covered, the clocks stopped and a window in the room of the deceased was opened to allow the persons soul to depart this worldly realm.
Yes indeed this is true to many households here in the UK! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 👻🙋♀️🎄
