Thank-you Sylvia - appreciate the support - there is so much to explore in East Anglia - hidden history which isn’t widely known - the lesser known locations are quite often amongst the best!

Cheers for commenting much appreciated - it is a great compliment to hear you have been inspired to visit a few of the church ruins yourself - there are around 100 in total in Norfolk - I hope one day to finally get around to visiting the vast majority!

Thank-you for the kind comments - there is so much history in Norfolk and Suffolk. I’ve yet to visit the two castles you mention. Remarkably there are about 100 church ruins in Norfolk alone - some remains are more significant than others but I’m slowly trying to make my way through the majority - some of which are truly magical places!

Thank-you :)

Hi Joe - there definitely seems to be a mixture of residual and intelligent hauntings here - an amazing amount of phenomena seems to have been experienced throughout the years - I have since been contacted by others who have spent time here with stories of their own - aswell as by others who say they experienced nothing so it’s quite a mix

Thank-you for commenting - I’ve never heard this sad story before - so much history to this church - much of which most will never know

@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk I found out by doing my family tree, it was an open secret, found his wife jane & 2 of 3 children (john & alice) who are all buried in dickleburgh. The youngest child ada was born after he went to prison, he was sentenced to death but got life. Died in harleston in January 1929. Took a long time to find what could be his grave.

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk elijah murdered maria in seamere road (I think) in pulham St mary

Hi thanks for commenting. I’d be interested to know what your experience was? I have since been contacted by someone local to the area who are convinced they saw the man with the suit and trilby hat. This spirit many believe to be the pedestrian who sadly lost his life after a collision with a car on the corner of the road in the 1950s

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk I didn’t actually see anything, I felt a tug on something I was holding… I was on the outside of the church by the road. I was looking at the memento mori on the gravestones when it happened.

Thank-you for sharing - that is very interesting. If there are no rational explanations it could indicate an interactive spirit who was very much aware of your presence and may have been trying to get your attention. You definitely aren’t alone in your experiences here that’s for sure

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk well there wasn’t really a breeze that day plus it’s sheltered my the trees, at the time I did wonder if it was the motion of me moving my head so I moved it again but it didn’t happen. It definitely felt like a tug or push I felt it in my hand.

How strange - thanks again for sharing

Hi thank-you for commenting. The quality of this particular video isn’t great as was one of my first but I have since re-visited the church and will be uploading an updated version in the next few months including drone footage etc. I never met Bob and was sad to hear of his recent passing. Nice to hear from someone with close connections with him 🙂

HI Jacqueline - indeed - there is an incredible history to the port, once rivalling London and very wealthy back in the day. Such a shame the majority of the buildings were lost to the seas

Thank-you - it makes you wonder how many vehicles pass-by this tree unknowing of its history - as the plaque outside is easily missed

Hi Andy - thanks for sharing this - it is a shame - the graveyard is so overgrown now most of the gravestones are no longer visible sadly - thank-you for tuning in

Oh wow how fascinating - thank-you for sharing that ghostly tale - and thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk no worries, just subscribed. I’m from Trunch/North Walsham Love the content 👻

Thanks very much - much appreciated - nice area of Norfolk 🙂

Cheers Stephen 🙂 - I think it has re-opened now - it was having works done when I visited

Thanks for commenting 🙂. Framlingham Castle I have yet to visit and Orford Castle is also in Suffolk I believe - amazing history to both locations which hopefully one day I’ll get to visit

Thanks Michele 🙂 always appreciate your comments

Hi, thank-you for commenting. The footage was filmed over a few visits and the time the recording in the crypt took place was on a calm and sunny day so there was no rain or significant wind as the camera was perched inside the vault. There wasn't any wildlife inside the crypt or nearby - I had a clear view of the camera at all times from the graveyard and left it running undisturbed for a few minutes - I appreciate everyone has their point of view though - so no worries as to any theories

Thank-you again for tuning in 🙂

Hi Sue - there were no pigeons or doves inside when the recording took place - the crypt was completely empty along with the surrounding graveyard - I had a clear view of the surroundings as the video was left recording inside and there was no wildlife nearby inside or out - I appreciate you watching the video and commenting though

Thank-you 🙂

Thanks Sylvia 🙂

Cheers Keith appreciated 🙂

Thanks Roger appreciated 🙂

Hi - it is a fascinating church and the infamous door is remarkable to see. Yes I’ve heard that particular song - the band were from nearby Lowestoft too I believe 🙂

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk ye they was from lowersoft or somewhere near there

Hi Simon - terrible to hear of the damage to the church ruin of Croxton - such a shame that places like this often don’t get the respect they deserve. Saxlingham Thorpe is correct rather than Saxlingham Nethergate - typing error there which I was aware of some time ago but unable to correct once the video has gone live sadly. Thanks for tuning in

It is a shame more of these historic places aren’t cherished. Parts of the old city walls still stand in areas, but despite being in decline the section around Carrow Hill is still spectacular. The air raid shelter featured in the video is located near to the cathedral and is sometimes part of the Norfolk Heritage Open Days held every September 🙂

Hi Sandra - hopefully you enjoyed the video as Dunwich clearly has close connections for you - thanks for commenting 🙂

Hi - it is a devastating shame to lose such an iconic building in such a manner. The top floor was in remarkably good condition - I think it was saved by the fact the staircase was removed many years ago so explorers were never able to gain access so easily. I think there was possibly a basement / cellars underneath too but these probably got filled with rubble after the building was sadly demolished

Hi Rob - you never know - it maybe worth researching - this particular pit isn’t widely known and only those local to the area who have lived here for a long time are aware of it - cheers for commenting 🙂

Thank-you it was quite a spectacle 🙂 - do you ever get displays like this in Australia? Or is the climate too warm for them?

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk not of poppies but of the yellow canola flowers also pretty but I think the poppies were more striking

Some people can't see them. I never have. But others have.

Thank-you for commenting - it is quite rare to be able to gain access into a church crypt these days and this specific one has quite a dark history

Thank-you Peter appreciate the comments - it is fascinating to think there is a hidden street beneath our feet that many won’t be aware of when walking past Norwich Castle 🏰 🙂

Thanks for commenting - the noise was quite strange as the church is so isolated - I can’t say for sure it was paranormal but it was interesting - I was pleased I was filming at the time to capture the sound as it only happened the one time - it is a fascinating church and I was pleased to be able to see the inside - it is quite rare to be able to see directly into the crypt too

Hi thank-you - it catches the eye just off Lynn Lane Great Massingham

Thank you ​@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk

Hi Sylvia - thanks for commenting - I was taken aback when visiting this poppy field - it is absolutely stunning - nature at its best - pleased you enjoyed the video 🙂

Hi Kathy thanks so much for the kind words - hopefully your granddaughter enjoys the poppy field and Hollie too - although no ghosts in this one 👻

Hi 🙂 - this poppy field is the best example I’ve ever seen - they are sadly becoming an increasingly rare sight these days so visiting here was quite a treat

Thanks Keith - the video doesn’t do justice to just how beautiful it was - definitely worth a visit in peak poppy season 🙂

Thanks Mirella

Sadly yes - closed back in 2012 - was open for more than 50 years

Hi James - as you say the old RAF Officer’s Mess is now The Birches and I believe it is still open - makes you wonder if any overnight guests have any ghostly tales to tell 🙂
