This video is one of five taken from my now defunct second channel, Phantom Chronicles. As some of you will know, I started my second channel last year. The intention was to seperate my true crime/dark histories content from my paranormal content. Unfortunately Phantom Chronicles was not the success I had hoped it would be, so I've decided to revert back to one channel. I've also been distracted lately, and reminded that there's more to life than TH-cam; hence my recent inactivity overall. I will be back, however.
Great tale, unscrupulous Edwardians building houses on an old graveyard. Interesting how its 700 years old but the graves are very Victorian or latest Georgian at the oldest. I guess the medieval graves have rotted away. Grave monuments did not become common beyond the rich until around 1660.
I love the intro to this video. Keep using it. What an interesting tale! No one is going to expose themselves to ridicule for the heck of it. Good storytelling. Greetings from Arizona!
I enjoyed your old channel and like this paranormal content. Please continue, maybe a once a week kind of series - idk maybe Spooky Saturday (I know it’s lame but just making a point) or something. I hope you upload more often. Cheers

@@audreymuzingo933 I thought they were Australian. I think it's 70 years, or maybe that's just literary copyright, I'm not sure. There are many sources for free music for TH-cam videos. TH-cam even has its own free music library..
@@chandaniberry9369 I’ve told a few people over the years, but as you know, most people don’t believe in the paranormal. My aunt recently told me she saw a shadow man at the end of the bed in that house. I experienced these things as a child decades ago, validation in the scientific sense would be impossible. I can only offer anecdotal evidence I’m afraid.
I feel you, over-logical and over analytical brains find it difficult to even grasp that there could be more to life than meets the naked eye. On the other hand people like Dr Brian weiss and Dr Michael Newton dedicated and researched their whole lives about the spirit world. If you want, read them, u would know that u r not alone ( pun intented😉) .
@@chandaniberry9369 I think in some people’s minds it’s a case of if they didn’t experience something, then it can’t exist, which is very shallow thinking in my view. Yet some of these folks will blindly believe what they are told without experiencing that thing, ie there’s a black hole in the centre of our galaxy. I’m not saying there isn’t by the way, but some so called rational people will believe that without seeing it (amongst many other things), yet not believe someone who’s seen something paranormal and dismiss them out of hand. I learnt long ago not to try and make anyone believe me. I know what I saw.
I always enjoy your channel, I dont check in that often but i like to save up your posts and binge watch keep going, please dont give up on us, but yes do live your life and we will be here waiting. :)
Whoa! A video dropped! Wait - TWO of them -??? THREE NEW VIDEOS!! I have been waiting so expectantly!! Just in time for my Birthday ❤ 🎁 and Thanksgiving! That’s the TL;DR I know Thanksgiving is primarily an American (and Canadian) thing, and historically problematic, but I’m going to reconcile my issues and think of Thanksgiving as a holiday that has admitted it’s wrongdoings (unlike certain others... I’m looking at you, Columbus! Also nearly every holiday is appropriated from another religion or culture or it has a dark background) and admission is a first step to change and making amends. Thanksgiving is ready for a change. Thanksgiving was first a celebration and feast of harvest, the end of autumn and beginning of winter, long before a group of pilgrims came along). It’s a day where the people gather, to give thanks and love and be together, sharing and giving. Our strength and love and empathy to stand together, as one against the coming storm. In this way, Thanksgiving makes it’s own reparations, in our hearts and homes, our charity of spirit. With people we love, and people we’ve never met. We define this holiday, not celebrate a lie. Harvests have always brought people together. This is one which encourages you to include everyone without judgment. For a birthday hope, I want this year to keep this Thanksgiving spirit. To support each other in all our endeavors. We can be in a better place next year, than now. It can keep improving, our empathy, generosity, release of fears, having help to face them. We don’t need to be alone. Including those who don’t celebrate, or have no one to celebrate with - they are welcome to company, camaraderie! In my home, heart or online! ❤ and I know I’m giving you a stomach full ❤ 🤗 hugs to you ALL! So, you’re alone and just want to talk?? Well come over and sit next to me! I noticed you right away! You seem interesting. That’s right, plop down here beside me on the poofy antique brocade camelback couch.... tell me all about yourself and your day!
The Highgate Vampire. When I was a kid in the 70s we used to play in Highgate cemetery and go in there alone after dark for dares. We were just bored really.
The British SOE in WW2 actually did use explosives to make something that looked like lumps of coal. It was to be mixed in with batches of real coal in order to cause damage and chaos in occupied Europe.
My Aunt actually lives in one of the flats and has done since I can remember. The bedrooms are always cold and I have had really bad nightmares when staying there. Other shenanigans have also happened within the house that my aunt and cousins have experienced.
I thought I saw a shadow figure in the left side of that mirror come out of that door and walk behind them on the wall but now I can't seem to find it to mark it.
A very odd story indeed, and one new to me. Odd thoughts - most such stories I know of involving poltergeists (often known as housemaids in times past) seem to involve pubescent young women for some reason; wasn't there a famous London incident at Cock Lane? I must admit I've never heard of a spirit killing anyone though - that's another 'first', and an unhappy one. As for building on a cemetery, well the Home Office regs are much stricter nowadays, and a job like that would involve VERY thorough and expensive exhumations first - like the HS2 and Crossrail jobs.
I think I heard something during the interview. At 15:26 and 15:43. I heard it on my tv so I had to listen on my phone and there is definitely something.
I listened carefully to the "Knocking" in the interview. It strongly suggested to me the sound of someone sawing wood with a handsaw. Since there seems to be another apartment in the house, it might have been just that
Errrrrrr, TH-cam, got a wee question for ya.... Why is this video only now showing in my suggestions, when it was uploaded *THREE WEEKS AGO???* Better late than never, but still, c'mon TH-cam!
I know what the first child died of. Remember the family member slept w/ the child to monitor their situation? And the child died "shivering uncontrollably" ? That's a symptom. When someone gets an infection that invades the circulatory system, they often feel fatigue, muddled, achy, it could feel like a cold....then comes the fevers, sweats, chills, creeping pain up the back of the neck, headaches, and eventually 'uncontrollable shivering'. When I say 'uncontrollable shivering', it really is uncontrollable. It's like you went out wet into a blizzard. only worse. Now you're knocking at death's door. I barely got help in time and was in the hospital for a week w/ nurses checking "how are you doing?", while seeming to just be conversational, every 2-3 hours. You know it's bad when they're not trying to worry you. every 2-3 hours. Remember those symptoms. and don't f around and find out, get help if you ever get those symptoms.
Enjoyed the video, but don't understand how the David Farrant in the video from 1999 can be David Farrant, husband of Della and psychic researcher famous for the Highgate Vampire thing, who would have been in his 50s by 1999. The man in the video looks like a 30-something-year-old? He looks like a member of Pulp or Suede from the late 90s pretending to be a psychic investigator. Puzzling. But the topic is an odd one all around. Thanks for posting!
Uhhhh the little girl’s death sounds suspicious as hell. Sounds like there was potentially domestic abuse going on in that house and they used this stupid ghost story to conveniently cover up an incident that resulted in the kid biting her tongue so hard she later got a serious infection. Yuck. I hate when stupid made up “ghost” stories or “curses” muddy the waters of what is usually a criminal act that occurred. It’s sickening, tbh.
I have carried out a lot of research into this case and see nothing at all to suggest CSA was the 'real story'. There is, however, documented evidence of poltergeist activity.
Just like with the Bell Witch I believe this Poltergeist entity exists for the same reason that most poltergeists do. Someone in the home is being molested. Some people develop multiple personality disorder, some become "possessed", nearly all will have periodic trances, fits or seizures as the psyche and neurological system try to process the extreme stimuli. This is also why most poltergeists are in the presence of a girl around puberty but it doesn't have to be only girls. But I feel for a fact it is rarely spirits or anything of the house itself or the land. People are usually what is haunted which is why it can follow them. It's not an attachment it is that person they are just not always aware or if they are aware it is subconscious just like a multiple personality would be. Poltergeists I feel are just another form of a coping mechanism. The brain is an incredibly powerful tool of which we know so little and humans are incredible survivors
I hope this one is a ghost even though I'm not even a believer. Otherwise they killed their daughter, it's horrible. I hope it was unrelated and her chair just happened to fall over but they said a piece of furniture fell into it and knocked her over (moved by the poltergeist they said) an unintended victim.. manslaughter. Unless they come up with a scientific reason this happens.

I'll be honest I never knew there was another channel.
I'd subbed to it and kept seeing only 5 videos. But I understand your decision. But please keep making videos. You have many imitators but no equals.
I'm upvoting everything you post today, just to be helpful.
Never knew about Phantom Chronicles, You Tube Algorithm glitch
I'll re-watch them to make sure the views get counted here.

Thank you for covering this. London certainly has a good peppering of poltergeists
