When I was at primary school, about 6 years old (this was mid 1970's), we had a day trip to the Longleat Estate, Wiltshire.
It's a beautiful Elizabethan manor house in grounds and was built in the 1560's. It's the home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Bath.
My mum came as an extra pair of hands to help out.
During the tour, mum noticed I appeared to be watching something moving. She asked me what I was looking at. I replied, 'The pretty lady in the grey dress'. She couldn't see anyone.
At the end of the tour, she spoke to a guide. Evidently, a previous Lady Bath has been seen. They call her the Grey Lady.
By the way you wrote this can we assume that you don’t remember this happening to you?
@@Pollicina_db I remember it very clearly. She looked as real as my classmates and everyone else. What about how I wrote it made you think that?
Have a lovely day.
My cousin's name is Sandra.🎉
@@dawnrowlands2408 The way you went from You telling the story as first person to your mom as first person!😮
@dawnrowlands2408 The second sight of children ? Many of us have abilities when very young that materialist conditioning causes us to lose. Imagine if these abilities were encouraged, instead of snuffed out.
This was fun to watch. The scariest part is that a group of humans did a “drag hunt” on Easter with a dead cat covered in anise seed. Live humans can be creepier than any ghost.
I think we are the stupidest,most crass species on the planet. What the heck?!
@@pheart2381 The sad fact of it is that humans are effectively vermin and the planet would be FAR better off without us! Other members of the animal kingdom DO act in some of the same abhorrent ways that humans do, such as rape and murder (Rather than killing for food), prime examples being other members of the 'Great Apes' such as chimpanzees, and this sort of behavious has also been seen among dolphins, but it's nowehere near as common as it is with humans.
I feel sorry for the cat I’m a Wiccan I don’t harm anyone my spells are only for protection of family friends and homes
@@alisonsavill8191 I really would hope that they used a cat that was already dead, rather than killing one specifically for the purpose, but back when it happened sadly I doubt if it was!
The brown lady was proven to be a fake
When I was a child we visited Chillingham Castle on a school trip. We were greeted by an old lady who was dressed in period costume and spoke strangely. She told the bus driver where to park. Later in the visit when asking what she was called we were told she wasn’t a member of staff and was not known to anyone. Scary eh?
Let's say...wonderfully spooky
Defo bean sidhe
omg i'd love it
You allready told that happend to you in the Tower !
You're à liar. 😮
@@bastiennietveld7128 it did happen. I am not telling lies. You need an open mind.
Here is a fun fact Dorothy's father Colonel Robert Wapole aka Rob Snr. currently holds the world record for the most overdue library book with the book the Archbishop of Bremen being overdue by a total of 288 years.
@mathieuleader8601 Imagine the fine !
Dread to think how much he owes in our money now, be thousands I expect?
😂@@adamgorelick3714
The story of the 'Brown Lady' turning to smile at the men behind the door, complete with that eerie photograph, is truly spine-chilling!
I'm more shocked that the men were wearing only shirts and trousers. Thats truly scandalous.
And yet still had a gun ?
In the 80's I knew the Chauffer and cook from RAYNAH HALL, a husband and wife, who had been their most of their lives, they were both in their 70's then. Both would talk about the ghost, both claimed to have seen her and neither were frightened of her. In their words, "She was part of the family."
'Been there'. Thanks for info.
I think it's Rainham Hall where you worked 😊

34:25 Madame Pigott
Thanks for listing the timestamps, you know how us English hate being forced to listen to extraenious waffle 😂 👍
Actually, it was easier to make double exposures with the old cameras because they required longer exposure times. You could make a blurry image by having someone move during the exposure. You could also make them look transparent by doing a half exposure with them absent and another half exposure with them present.
I haven’t heard or read the story of the spectral battle of Edgehill for nearly 40 years! By sheer coincidence I’m sat in my bedroom at my sisters 17th Century cottage in Kineton ( pronounced Kine -ton as in Pine btw 😊) looking out the window as I write at the escarpment of Edgehill where the battle was fought. The sun has set and a misty gloom has descended… ( my small black cat Simpson is watching too! 😂)…quite atmospheric although you can still hear the M40 traffic nearby. I always look out to see I can see anything….will report back if I do!. Another excellent video 😊
Absolutely love the balanced view on these. Not just assuming everything is supernatural and trying to be sensational.
I had a friend who lived in England for a few years, and she swears that one of her roommates was the world’s most irritating ghost. According to her, he (she was sure it was a man) would slam doors, knock over potted plants, leave the fridge open, mess with the lights, and leave the toilet running. It got to the point where she wasn’t scared of him anymore, but just annoyed. She would yell at him to knock it off, and sometimes the spooky behavior stopped when she did that! I’m skeptical of ghosts, but I have to admit that she’s very trustworthy.
''leave the toilet running'' ??????
I live in England and its so steeped in history its a very haunted place, I could tell you a good few stories about things thats happened to me and my family and friends, lots of poltergeist activity happend in my mum and dads house over the years
Do tell@@CHRISDJS72
Damn he better pay rent
Almost 20 years ago when I lived in London, I had a very creepy experience while walking in the Finsbury Park Cemetery, in a late afternoon, in December 2004. As soon as I entered into this location I felt almost immediately a weird feeling that left my spine cold, but I walked in anyway. After a few dozens meters I couldn't continue anymore. Three or four persons who where seat down along those alleys, did not stop staring at me (and so far I don't know why). I tried to go ahead but this weird feeling kept me from going on. I remember the next Saturday I invited a friend to go along with me in this cemetery as I'd like to take pictures of some tombs dating back to the early 1700 (here in Brasil, we do not have those so old cemeteries so I thought it's interesting to take pictures of them so that I could show it to my friends) but I hadn't said anything about my weird experience I had week before. When we entered into this cemetery, again, some weird people who were seat down in the same place as they were in the last week, started staring straight at me as if there's only me in this cemetery (and there were lots of persons passing by! As I was accompanied by this friend, I kept walking through that alleys in that dark afternoon. However at certain point, one of those persons who stared at me, stood up and headed straight into my direction without even blinking. To avoid eye contact I veered off and pretended I was taking pictures of some tombs nearby. This guy stood behind us without saying a word. My friend then says to me "Falcon, is it me or those guys are looking fixedly at you?" I almost passed out when I heard it. But, as a good "macho man" I smiled at him and kept walking and holding my camera. But, when he said "Falcon, have you noticed this guy behind us is walking on those gravels and we cannot hear any steps or sounds?" Man, when he said it, I had to exit the cemetery quickly. Then when we got home I told him the experience I had a week before. So far, I have never forgotten this weird experience, ever, although I have no idea what's going on. I cannot say it's a ghost as I do not believe ghosts exist, but all I can affirm is to this day I have no idea what happened there.
I Live in America... & I have Seen Ghosts Since I Was Young... Sob I Would Love to go to England & See Anne Boleyn... Lady Jane Grey... Mary Queen of Scots & All the Other Spirits That are Said to Haunt the Tower of London...! Mary Queen of Scots is My Ancestor... So I Believe that She Would Appear to Me...!!!
Have you ever heard about Headley Grange? Its an old home in the English countryside that has long been runored to be haunted, and was used by bands like Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and Fleetwood mac as a writing/recording retreat.
Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks in particular were into the occult. She's been a professed witch for decades. I would assume that Led Zeppelin was also into the occult. You need look no further for the cause of the haunting.
@@lilyw.719 Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin was very well known of being into the occult. He also bought the previous home of Aleister Crowley and had quite a few stories of scary things he experienced while living there.
Hooray! A new Fire of Learning video! ❤
I saw a regular ghost for a few years in the 1990s. She was a great big fat lass who would sit on my sofa and eat a bag of crisps in a "I Shot JR" T shirt. Never did find out who she was, we just called her Big Betty
thank you for the new upload i enjoy your videos immensely
Nice ❤ thanks for the upload
You are among my favorite content creators, thank you ❤❤❤❤
Nice job! Thank you! 🎉
Well done. I always enjoy the variety of this channel, especially the holiday episodes.
Good I'm not feeling great todsy but this will sure bring me up. Thanks
I congratulate you on your fine scholarship and objective thinking/observation. It is rare with these documentaries. Thank you.
Thank you for this video ❤
Loved this. Thanks for your hard work. More please. 😊
Thank you for sharing 🙏
I grew up in Leicestershire. Never bloody heard of Black Ennis. 😅
I used to live in Derbyshire, and I've seen the tourist signs to Black Annis' Bower. We used to go through various parts of Leicestershire for various different reasons... I'm not sure where exactly it is, tho. I want to say it's around the leics/notts/derby border, but I'm not sure...
Excellent work as usual. The Raynham photo got me as a kid but as I got older it began to bug me for the very same reason you mention - it simply doesn't look like a woman in a dress.
I am so very happy to watch and listen to you new video!! Thank you. Please give my best to Peanut.
Also, when can we expect your book to be released?
What beautiful art work.Thanks for making wonderful visuals to accompanyy the stories.
The British Isles is unquestionably the most haunted place in the world. The atmosphere, weather and an ancient past all help to make it eerily creepy.
Awesome ❤
The illustrations you used in this video are quite lovely. 👍
Your narration is legendary.
Truly beautiful classic landscapes. Nice.
Thanks for another in 15 video.
Nice work. I've always thought the Brown Lady photograph looked like the silhouette of the Virgin Mary.
The Mark Felton channel recently had a video about a different ‘haunted’ manor in the UK with some similar elements as in this. I recommend it to anyone interested as it makes a nice companion piece to this.
thank you for the video. from the east midlands and miss the haunting and folktail culture here in rural australia.
Hi from leicestershire
Good stuff. I always need reminding to click the like button as I get so engrossed in what im watching I would otherwise forget..
Can you do a video about Australian cryptids next, pppllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeeee!!!!!!!
Fascinating stuff.
I had a few supernatural encounters. One was startling. Few people on vacation with us. They left . On few visits to Great Britain
Bipedal equidae? The King of evil walks among us!
I love the leap of logic
Devon footprints - the original news articles, do not claim the tracks were in a straight unswrving line, yet one of the original sketcheds shows a distinct curve.
If you look at a map and track the locations mentioned. They. Are NOT aligned in a straight line.
It is believed that it was not one continuos line but several sets of tracks that appeared on several nights. Hysteria seems to have been the origin of the story. Using Occam's Razor it seems obvious that unusual looking footprints in one area lead others to look for footprints, most likely naturral footprints from some other animal.
Kelly Cahill case, you need to take a look into it.. extremely interesting but little videos on it on UA-cam
The" Devil'sTracks" were Krampus! Well- i guess it doesn't say they were found on Christmas though. Loved this video!!
Thank you.
I need to watch a couple kids movies so I can sleep tonight ! Love it !!
Perfect stuff for Dark Gathering, the supernatural anime based on ghosts/spirits.
01:52 gets blown apart when you take into account how terrible cameras were back then at the time of the photo. You can see it is a simple double exposure. The exact same shape can be seen on the stairs to the right, which is a simple light reflection. Nonetheless, it is a cool photo, even more so when you don't know the explanation behind it, which I apologise for spoiling.
Next year you should either Scotland or Ireland.
Edinburgh is practically crawling with spirits and Ireland has the terrifying Leap Castle.
People have been challenging the brown lady photograph recently. I still think it’s genuine.
Beautiful ghost
ooo scary stuff!
FOL is back!
I live in Devon and find the Devils Footprints fascinating. It's a subject that comes up sometimes when we are all discussing the paranormal.
Black Agnes sounds like a fresh take on the horror movie genre,I'd pay good money to see it!
Jeepers creepers could be a modern version of it
Windsor Castle and Buckingham palace too
Oh blimey
A 40 min spoopy vid dropped by fol? Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and thumbs up this before getting a minute into it. :)
The ghost image is actually really easy to create. Sorry to spoil your fun but all you need is a slow shudder speed. It’s one of the first things your taught if you ever take a film class.
YIPPIE YIPPIE HOORAY NEW FIRE OF LEARNING VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!
Pluckley is the most haunted village in the UK.
A +++
Halloween over !
I'm early! I'm Early! I'M EARLY! :D
Its really wierd Arthur C Clarke wrote a book about the supernatural and the unexplained. In one of the stories he wrote about a ghost at woodford church in Northamptonshire this is only about 10 miles away from where i live. I decided i wanted to go there to prove it wrong after about 8 visits i saw something i cant explain. It was like a white shadow. Even though i saw what i saw i still refuse to believe for fear of being ridiculled about it. This is the first time i have said about it. X
the photo on the stairs is an actual photo in 1968 from people in Egypt saw an apppartion of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Cool
What I'm wondering is whether they still would have shot the brown lady if she had not smiled menacingly. I don't know if that would have been better or worse than just firing at someone as soon as you suspect they're a ghost.
I live in Norfolk and I have seen it
The Devils footprints is one strange story that I’ve seen in other sites also
Always honor, and above all respect the dead, because one day you will join the ranks....
D shackles missing the cross screw would have indeed made hoof shapes in the snow, if dangling hapless from a balloon....
Edgehill and Marston Moor are both still haunted sites
I looked up different account of Lady Dorothy sightings and the current owners insist that the story of her maliciously smiling can’t be true as they believe from their own accounts that she is a benevolent spirit. Without concrete facts, we’ll never know the true story
hooray 😻
And of course, the most famous of all: Ann Boleyn with her head tucked under her arm ,as the song goes.
No Roy Gribbleston sightings?
1:30 i have a video of a ghost filmed where i live and stills from the video they are as clear as day i put the video on you tube do you think anyone cares??? they dont, it should be worth something to me
The ghost photo of an apparition on the stairs is almost certainly a smudge on the lense.
Oooooo these are spooky 👻💀⚰️
❤❤❤❤
This sounds like Bedtime stories and Wartime stories
If the Brown Lady photograph is faked, it hardly explains eyewitness accounts. Also, I've been obsessed with that story since childhood (and wrote a short story inspired by it), and I finally saw the staircase in question. It is two-sided; meaning there is an identical one across from the one with the ghost. I don't know if it was added after the photo, but that would seem unlikely. Also, that room is huge and well-lit. Unless shades were all down at the time, or they were shooting at night or from an angle in an adjoining room, I don't know. All I know is, if it were faked, it wasn't done using the photograph they took (i.e.--it wasn't they photo taken), especially if their original goal was to take pictures of the house for a magazine similar to Home & Gardens. As for Dorothy Walpole being the ghost: eh, I'm not buying it since the story had to go through a similar situation as Mary, Queen of Scots and her murdered secretary (meaning that her lover was killed--and that was why she was roaming though Mary was never the lover of her secretary as her husband at the time thought). I heard that story over 30 years ago with the explanation that the haunting ceased after the lover was buried properly or something. I think the "ghost" is a conflation of legends from the area rather than just Dorothy Walpole, and that should be investigated.
We ever getting a a part 2 of Americas history 👀
❤❤❤😊
The brown lady of Raynham Hall picture can be reproduced easily, indeed like many apparitional inages and made to look like an old image if you are good at digital image manipulation.
Queen consort Anne Boleyn 👑🏰🏴🇬🇧 of England
What’s the black on left hand side.
Ghosts don't exist.
That is what some scientists say, but unfortunately it could be that they are simply numb individuals with no sensual perception and hardly know where they are, helpful when you concentrate on mathematical formulas, not so much when gaging the validity of worldly phenomenon. Actually there is a phenomenon there, now my argument is that instead its several phenomenon merged and mixed usually, one is dimensional beings, one type is quicker than ours one type slower, impossible to cross the barrier but can be perceived, only for people with pineal gland not calcified over, so scientists unlikely to perceive anything and be materialistic, and second, shadowy imaginings, a manifestation of the mind itself, this is same as psychopyrokinesis, kinesis psychokinesis and moving objects with mind etc., thirdly, extraterrestrials with a harrypotter style cloak of invisibility, fourthly, residual resonances or an echo type phenomenon, based on the fluidal forces, when a strong energetic impulse has been left behind before, and fithly the universe itself, any combination of natural forces and mechanisms, some of which unknown to science, orbs for examble are special gas bubbles from iron which create special luminous white balls occassionally when certain natural mechanism align, scientists don't know that either.
The one with the devil's footprints sounds an awful lot like sightings of The Jersey Devil
English Civil War battle sites are rich in spiritual activity as a result of so much suffering and death. I visited the battle site at Edgehill, but the main area is Ministry of Defence land now and is fenced off from the public. There is a commemorative pillar just at the edge of the site. I have visited Marston Moor in Yorkshire a number of times and can verify that it is full of spiritual activity. Huge numbers of men were slaughtered during this battle, so no real surprises there.
I saw a grey lady as a child. I grew up,moved out and my 17 years younger sister took the room. Years later, a ghost story came up and I mentioned the grey lady, my sister said, that was in your old room? She visted me too? Our cousin, 5 years older lived in the adjoining house he agreed that the grey lady came through his room next door too.
If you look carefully at the most famous ghost photo, look at the handrails. They do not line up. They have a very strange appearance, as if double exposed.
You research is deficient, Marryat did not shoot her with a bullet, but several silver shillings, silver being a traditional material used to lay spirits. Iron is also inimical to the paranormal.
It is very annoying that they A. I. has rendered her , not with eyeless sockets, but with large gray alien eyes. Very annoying.
Someone should investigate 50 berkeley square..Apparently its the most haunted house in London.
The author of the popular 1930's radio programme "The Shadow" wrote his mystery tales of the black clad crime fighter in a house where he resided for many years. In the decades since his passing there have been reports of a dark figure wearing a slouch hat moving about the residence at night. Is it possible that the author, having spent so many hours weaving tales of this character, left a psychic impression of him that some people have experienced ? If there is any "reality" to spectres that have appeared throughout history, could this phenomenon amount to impressions left on the collective consciousness ?
Black Ennis is said to have been killed by an axe in the face, which tends to kill most things .
What about the Roman troops of legionaries that have seen in the roadsides?
Nothing is true. Unless you see it with your own eyes.
Just like the Banshee in Eire Ireland or Alban in Scotland . 🤣
The Scottish banshee is said to be seen washing the grave clothes, of those about to die.
