This channel never disappoints because it always puts quality over quantity. It's the perfect antidote for all the tiktok and Reddit creepypasta rubbish that some other contemporary channels harvest just for easy content.
Thank you! I so agree. REAL creepy stories. Not that fake atuff. I cannot be creeped out when I know it's all fake (unless like Alien franchise stuff or something 😂😌😂) lol
If anything bad or spooky happens to me, I want you and your soothing voice narrating it please. Having my dignity in tact after death is important to me and you’re perfect for the job. Thanks for the quality entertainment, you smooth dude, you.
Cape may is my hometown and 3 generations of my family are buried in that cemetery going back to early 1800s I’ve heard this story before though all my times there never encountered him but I loved it was included here.
When you said the surgeon was being payed to get the body of an indigenous person for study my heart dropped thinking some poor woman had been murdered.... must admit i was very relived to hear the woman was already dead but still very saddened at the desecration of her body and grave.
My favorite sea story is about the Hurricane that devestated Galveston, Texas in the early 1900's! An actor from a New England state had always said he wanted to be buried back in his New England birthplace. Unfortunately he died and was buried in Texas. The book Isaac's Storm told the story about how the hurricane swamped a cemetery and a number of caskets were released from the cemetery and ended up in the Gulf of Mexico. The caskets got caught up in the Gulf Stream. The actors coffin ⚰️ ended up off the New England coast near the town where he had been born!!!!!
Im sure the word you used in the " Johnny " story, you pronounced as ' Forecastle' is actually said as ' Fo-c'sle' like fow- k- sel. I ive seen it written & the word looks like Forecastle but isnt pronounced that way. As many naval terms go way back in British tradition & how the spoken word sounded in those days esp among sailors a kind of shortened version of naval terms were used & remain so today. Like the word Gunwales is pronounced Gunnels. Thank you very much for another brilliant video. I do look forward to every one you bring you for us.
@@dianne11ca thank you for replying, i never mean to sound disrespectful in my comments regarding pronounciation only wanting, as i myself would want to know, how something written is different to how its said,as it facinates me why the discrepancy? Unfortunately many people send me vitriolic replies telling me to mind my own business. I can accept some people dont or cant take a little pointer to the right direction & ive never worded my comment in any negative way or sounded belittling. Ive been corrected many times by others if ive made a mistake & im really grateful & thank them for pointing out my error, its how we learn after all. So im pleased you have taken my advice on old naval terms in good spirit. I only learned of them myself after reading about words written but pronounced very differently & in the book it had sections dealing with things such as naval terms or medical terms, place names, etc. I do love your channel, i know as you've said to me before, you cant upload as often as you'd wish but im fine with that. Id rather have quality over quantity anytime & your channel Never disappoints, its always top notch. With many thanks for all yr hard work.
@@itallia666 You did not sound disrespectful at all. I would have done the same. I love language, and most people would prefer to know if they have pronounced something wrong, and you pointed it out very respectfully, and you offered a background, too, so I learned something, too. Enjoy your day, and forget the haters. Keep on being you.
@@dianne11ca Thank you, i shall keep going on my own pathway & haters dont bother me, if anything i only hope at some stage of their lives they can learn to love themselves & accept love too. So casting off now, & its Aye Aye Captain, anchors away !
That first story actually makes me think the alcoholic sailer might’ve been experiencing psychosis from stopping his drinking cold turkey, since you can actually die without medical attention nowadays if someone who drinks heavily all the time tries to fully stop.
I think (and commented) the very same thing! Sounds more likely delirium tremens (DT’s) from alcohol withdrawal, which, you’re exactly right, can kill you - rather than delirium from being drunk. It’s sad, he seems to have been trying so hard to please his captain. Only to be condemned for it and tied up, which might have contributed to his death of heart failure.
I remember watching a programme following paramedics that had a case like this. A very heavy drinker went cold turkey and his wife had to call an ambulance because he just stopped and went catatonic and couldn’t stop shaking. The paramedics had to give him a beer to bring him out of it, which sounds counterproductive but he’d have probably died without it. They said it was admirable that he wanted to stop, but he needed professional help because his drinking was so heavy suddenly depriving his body of it shocked it.
I love these classic ghost stories from you. You seems to put in so much work and research that it's organic and nothing like the others on TH-cam. I wish you could put out videos back to back but with the research and you having a life outside of this and all makes it totally understandable and appreciated. Thank You!
As a recent listener to your Channel, I am now hooked. I bypass all videos until I can hear your voice, then I know it's going to be 'an on the edge of your seat' listen. Superb oration and research. JWD (jolly well done) (*_*)
Another great video and a really good group of stories. Bilson and the Surgical Apparatus were great but the one about the summer house was just amazing. And your voice is perfectly suited for reading gloomy and mysterious ghost stories.
Was just getting on here to say that: This is classic alcoholic withdrawal. This is literally why you're not supposed to stop drinking cold turkey if you're a heavy alcoholic.
Bilson died from a sudden withdrawal from alcohol. It is well known that withdrawal from alcohol must be done gradually in order to avoid delirium tremens or death.
Not if it was like in the same day or within 24-48 hours though most likely ya know, I guess iys possible but seemed to be implied it happened suddenly, maybe though.
The Summerhouse Ghost. The ghost with a sense of humor... Guest at the house: "Boy, its sure hot out today" Ghost voice from basement: "Whatever yo. I'm cold" Guest at the house: "Who da Fuc!?"
Guest - Well get your ghost ass and up here and catch some rays, what is it with you ghosts and hiding in cold dark basements and shit, no wonder you guys freak the living out - you would rock if you were partying in the sunlight and scaring us as you cast no shadow.
I love what you've done with your channel, your images, your soundscape, your research, your narration and your production values. Do you have a separate website or blog?
Reminds me of the catchy cry of us indigenous peoples and "Museums" and "Scientists" of the white race - How long until our graves become an artefact pit. Plus all the studying in those days was disrepsectful, I mean sawing her up and no doubt back in Europe to remark about primitive and backwards these people were etc.
That last one, his wife was so inconsiderate. She disregarded his wishes just because she wanted him next to her. She should have had herself buried next to him.
CW, thank you for putting in so much time and effort to make these videos! The quality is truly singular. Of course it takes time to prepare and produce such detailed and polished videos. Much appreciated!
Interesting and very well researched as always. It is very noticeable that ( with the exception of the Johnny item, which itself has plenty of precedent), all the "ghosts" did NOT interact with observers to any noticeable extent. This certainly seems to be very consistent in the real world, with observers (often not exactly willing!) noting that whatever they saw was not interested (or even seemed to notice) their presence, which adds credence to the "stone tape" hypothesis - that what we "see" (or rather our brain perceives) may be analogous to a recording, either triggered by our presence, or simply "replaying" on a continuous basis, presumably forever? Currently we really don't know what is going on, and the rather sensationalist "Ghost Hunter" programmes on the TV do nothing to provide useful, hard data, which might cast some light onto what is very much an unexplored area simply because it has been tainted by sensationalism.
There's several theories, and all could be correct. Your theory is certainly credible and would explain why these residual recordings fade over time. There's many instances of ghost sightings become less frequent, with the ghost gradually, over many years, becoming just a faded outline, then a shadow, then eventually just the sound of them is left. When that fades a presence is the only thing felt. Then even that goes. Another is the time slip theory, whereby a ghost is seen because of a time differential. That would explain why some people can see ghosts who can also see them, and why the ghost will often appear shocked or afraid at the sight of the modern looking person suddenly visible to them. It's not a ghost in this case, but an actual living person from the past. It would also explain why these "ghosts" appear to be very real and in colour with definitive outlines.
@@Useaname Thank you for that insight. I believe this Channel has also covered time-slip cases, which is in itself interesting. Do you have any thoughts on why some people can "reliably" see ghosts / apparitions, whilst others either cannot, or have only seen the one or two "ghosts"? I fall into the "once only" category, and frankly once is enough for me! 😀
The coolest ghost stories always seem to take place when there aren't cameras around. It's never when someone is filming a birthday party and long dead grandpa stops by. All we seem to get on camera is a speck of dust or glimmer of light. No fair maidens from the 1700s off to do her chores or whatnot.
It’s a cemetery in Edinburgh they the Scottish reformation took place in 16000 people were executed and buried in the 17th and early 18th century and it’s said the poltergeist of george mackenzie is still there and assaults visitors

Yes!

What, are you gonna watch his video from the realm of souls? They don't have mobiles or TH-cam there!
@@JaleelBeig there’s a niche to take then..for the entrepreneurial dead. 😂
The first story: Sounds more like delirium tremens from withdrawal from alcohol, which can kill you, rather than delirium from over-drinking.
That’s what I thought if the sailor went cold turkey
Cape may is my hometown and 3 generations of my family are buried in that cemetery going back to early 1800s I’ve heard this story before though all my times there never encountered him but I loved it was included here.
When you said the surgeon was being payed to get the body of an indigenous person for study my heart dropped thinking some poor woman had been murdered.... must admit i was very relived to hear the woman was already dead but still very saddened at the desecration of her body and grave.
It was probably the withdrawal, not the booze that causes Bilson’s mania.
Sounds far more likely,
Yeah he was seeing pink elephants or worse !
Agreed. Withdrawal can do crazy things to a person. He might have been fine if he had eased off instead of cold turkey.
You included some truly beautiful shots of the ocean and sky. Thank you.

Wow that's creepy. I love these stories but I'm afraid of my shadow.
He probably influenced the waves and current to get his coffin back to New England 🤷

Well seems we are getting more than ghosts stories from this channel. Useful lessons in the English language as well. Thanks.
This is great! It's surprisingly difficult to find good and soberly recounted ghost stories on youtube

The 'Phantom Diver' one read as... weirdly sweet? It's almost like the diver's ghost was checking up on the living divers.
I almost got sucked out to sea. Thank goodness my grandmother was there and saved me. Wicked current.

Love this stuff , the brother climbing on the boat frightened the bejasus out of ,me lol
Beautifully spoken.
Absolutely.
Glad you think so!
Thumbs up to the best narration and best stories ever. Thank you
Thank you--I haven't heard any of these stories before--which makes a pleasant change from other channels!
Who else gave it a thumbs up before the vid even started?
😂😂😂 They knew it was going to be good!!!!
These videos/narrations are put together so well. Real talent and skill
Your videos are a feast for the eyes and a treat for the ears 😊
That's good to hear, especially from a picky bitch. 👍
Happy to see you received a sponsor....you deserve it.
Thanks for the creepy tales from the past.
Thank you!
Such a Sunday night treat to log on to YT and see a new video notification from your channel. Fantastic work as ever, thank you.
Another great video and a really good group of stories. Bilson and the Surgical Apparatus were great but the one about the summer house was just amazing. And your voice is perfectly suited for reading gloomy and mysterious ghost stories.
It often seems as though I have already heard all the good stories. Thanks for proving me wrong!
It was Bilsons abstinence from alcohol that drove him into delirium, not overindulgence.
Was just getting on here to say that: This is classic alcoholic withdrawal. This is literally why you're not supposed to stop drinking cold turkey if you're a heavy alcoholic.
Sent you a coffee’s worth of appreciation to your PayPal. Thank you for all your effort and the entertainment that always follows it.
Got it, thank you so much.
Great stories as usual, I am always glad to see you've uploaded. Thanks, Curious World! See you next time.
Its snowing here all day, great day for vids like this.
Always brilliant, lesser known tales, thank you very much
Great stuff! Some of these were genuinely creepy.
Your channel is so well researched and presented. Many thanks.
Love your channel! Top notch quality and a very wide variety of subjects!

I found you channel two weeks ago and have been watching a couple of videos every night. Awesome content and very interesting.
Might have to finally hit the subscribe button.
This channel is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, especially for ghost stories. Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoy it!
amazing .really enjoyed this keep them coming
How do you get such wonderful photographs and well shot videos? I'm guessing they're all stock photos and videos but it's well-chosen.
The ones in this video are stock. Some of the footage in my other videos are my own. If I do a local story I'll shoot it myself entirely.
Thank You for the video Curious World , I just love creepy sea stories 👍♥️
Lovely ghost stories!
Great stories, all of which I've never heard before. Thank you!
Gulp. Sea ghost stories are more scary than land ghost stories.
Always a treat to get a new video! So much hard work clearly goes into them & they’re always so good x
Excellent as usual, thanks for the video!
Beautifully made, and told. Thank you.
Brilliant as always. Love your videos . Watching in Dublin ☘️✌🏻
Love your channel as it is, but the stories specifically about the ocean/boats are always my favorite🌊
Nothing like some good ghost stories that are most likely real.
Very good video as usual. Always a pleasure when on of your well narrated and researched videos is uploaded.
Thank You.
The Summerhouse Ghost. The ghost with a sense of humor...
Guest at the house: "Boy, its sure hot out today"
Ghost voice from basement: "Whatever yo. I'm cold"
Guest at the house: "Who da Fuc!?"

No lie, I only listen to these stories if my 3 kids sleep in the room with me. Ima chicken but can’t stop hearing scary stories!
Disko Island...there is absolutely a story to be written here.
Great video! Keep up the good work!
another very interesting video! keep up the amazing work! much love! 😊
I genuinely love it when I see a new Curious World video pop up on my feed 🙂 keep up the good work man 👏
Awesome video!!! Thanks for posting. 👍
Surgical Apparatus is AWESOME! Heard Phantom Diver before, same story but this tyme the story is longer.
Curious World uploads always make my days brighter! 💗💀
Thank you for this great video. I just love the sound of your voice. It is so relaxing. Keep up the great work
Thank you, I will
I love what you've done with your channel, your images, your soundscape, your research, your narration and your production values. Do you have a separate website or blog?
I'm working on a website at the moment. For now, this is my only platform.
love your channel , thank you for sharing it .
I'm very glad the woman in the second story got a proper re-burial. that story could have ended much worse
Reminds me of the catchy cry of us indigenous peoples and "Museums" and "Scientists" of the white race - How long until our graves become an artefact pit. Plus all the studying in those days was disrepsectful, I mean sawing her up and no doubt back in Europe to remark about primitive and backwards these people were etc.
Thank you. Awesome work.
That last one, his wife was so inconsiderate. She disregarded his wishes just because she wanted him next to her. She should have had herself buried next to him.
Another great video
The story of the Marabel sounds an awful lot like the basis of "It Fell From Aloft" from the Scary Stories books (remember those, all you 1980s kids).
I really enjoyed these. Thank you.
Time for scaring myself before bed again
Wow! For a second there, I mistook the NordVPN promo as another ghost story...the narrator's voice is conducive to even listening to an adv!
If I didn't already have Nord, I would get it again after that lol
😅😅
great stuff
Always happy to see another CW vid :D
great stories and even greater photography!
Thank you CW!🙏🧐💜🌎
Amazing channel! Cheers, from Quebec City 🍻
I love this. Thank you Curious World!
So we have both Bedtime Stories & Curious World with tales of the sea then there's the Suez Canal mishap. Hmmm…
i enjoy them both with tales from the sea. lots of things happen out in the ocean it seems. very mysterious. i like it.
Sounds a bit 'fishy' if you ask me.
Thumbs up new subscribers here
You're an excellent story teller. thank you CW 😊
Love this...pls do more
If you don't want to see a ghost in your life, always try to look for a ghost. There's never one.
👌🏻👌🏻another great vid
Lovely videos well done.
Finally a new video, need more of your uploads.
