Very well done. I am a retired nurse and the first story is not so hard for me to believe. Often, when caring for dying patients, they would tell me that they had seen and talked to their deceased relatives, recently, who had come to help them across into the next world. This happened so often that it didn't surprise me after awhile.
Yes, it's the worst kept secret in nursing and care. All sorts of strange phenomena occur as the dying body begins to release the soul.
My Mom told me that my grandmother, a few days before passing, had called out to my great-grandmother for help before passing. She had been very close to her mother, losing her suddenly during gallbladder surgery. She never came to terms with her sudden death, going on for many decades lamenting losing her.
As a ex nurse myself I can definitely confirm I've had many patients and even loved ones tell me they have seen deceased relatives when it's close to their time of passing.
And honestly as a nurse from London I've seen quite a few spirits in the halls and wards of where I worked looking over the Thames.
Hello have you ever witnessed events
I believed in this as well. I guess no matter from which country or nationality a person belongs to this type of scene is true.
Just over 10 years ago I was a student living in London. I shared a flat on Highbury New Park, N5 with 2 other students. One night both myself and my friend who had a room next to mine, heard the distinct noise of a horse clip clopping right past our windows, thing is we were on the third floor. My flat mate ran into my room and we both looked out the window as it was just weird. Less than a minute after that there was an almighty crash from the lounge and on inspecting it found an ornament in a thousand piece over the wrong side of the room and our text books open all around the room ( not where we had left them). Turns out our flat was built on the exact spot where a high explosive bomb was dropped during ww2.
Bruhh
Howd you find out what happened on the grounds prior? I always wish I knew the history of places I’ve lived
Wow that's cool.
Cool story, thanks for sharing. It's funny how echoes of the past repeat themselves. My dad has had a similar experience to that.
Ghost stories tend to fascinate me. It does seem that this haunting was the past coming to be relived for a brief moment.
The only channel on TH-cam where you can be guaranteed originality and research based on contemporary accounts. No lazy copy and paste, no clickbait and no pandering to the lowest common demoninator. Quality over quantity and every video well worth the wait.
Jon Fox check out Brief Case, you won’t be disappointed
@Melissa Dyson. Just checked it out on your recommendation. Good call, I like it! Thanks 👍
I like the Bedtime Stories channel, similar to this.
Check out Bedtime stories
@Seamus Carter. Agreed. Bedtime Stories is a good channel, The Paranormal Scholar too. Like this channel they have good, concise narration and good production values.
Narrator’s voice is perfect with any copy.
I was “visited” by my deceased fiancé abt 8 yrs after his suicide. Stories like these, I find fascinating!
1st time to watch. Quality! I’ve subscribed!
I have an extreme ghost phobia and a terribly overactive imagination, but when I think of ghosts as loved ones coming to sit with us the fear goes away. Great video!
I habe exactly the same!! As kids all adults scared us with ghost stories. As an adult, I try to be rational, but if caught unaware I can get extremely frightened easily.
I live in a 12 floors towerblock, in rural Oslo. Spirits have visited ocationally, and I consider that quite natural.....
They usually bring with them a scent of perfume.
Some time after my mother's passing, I could smell her favourite scent "Arpege", and I knew she was visiting.
Sometimes things go missing in my flat. I then just ask "Please, put it back. I'll need it tomorrow"
Next morning, the missing item is right back. 👠💍🙄
Female spirits, I think, borrow the stuff. Because it's usually shoes, a hairbrush or jewellery that disseapear.....
Makes me wonder though, which parties my belongings have attended ! 🤔
@Wee Mac yes I know, I literally said that
i do believe in the idea that when you die that dead relatives come to escort you into the afterlife.
but there are spirits that terrorize the living though or play pranks on us.
I haven't come across this channel before but someone puts a lot of effort into it. Very clear narration as well.
As London is 2000 years old there are many ghost stories set in different locations throughout the city.
Yes, I could do a hundred of these and still not scratch the surface.
A man after my own heart. The Christmas season is the time to tell ghost stories
During WWII my Dad was hired to operate a Caterpillar to help with building runways for military use at a London airport. It's quite possible it was the same as spoken of in this video. I have fond memories of Dad and the stories he told of his youth in Ireland and England. He immigrated to the US, Iowa, in 1949. He married my Mom in 1951 and they had 6 kids. He farmed his entire life here as it was all he wanted to do since his childhood. My Dad passed in 1989, much too young and my Mom in 2005. When he died, my Mom gave up on life. Us kids are all still alive and scattered across the country. I still live on the family farm. BTW, my Dad lied to the foreman about his being qualified to run a Cat. In actuality, he'd never seen one before. Too young to be hired and another lie, at 16, he learned quickly. RIP
My father ran those machines, eventually learning to run any machine used in the construction of car parks, highways, and the cranes to build skyscrapers. Your father must have been a skillful liar as well as a very quick study. I'm sorry for your loss. My own beloved dad passed 3 years ago, and I miss him every day.
Thank-you for sharing your Dad's story with us. I lost my Dad due to an aggressive cancer last year. My Mom has all but given up as well. She now has cancer, though treatable. I truly feel its due to her broken heart. Time makes no difference just that I guess we sort of get used to living with the loss. You never really get over it do you? I mean I literally go to call my Dad to tell him something on a daily basis, only to realize that I can no longer do that.
@@sherryab3964 That's heartbreaking, Sherry. I think about my mom and dad almost every day even after all these years. I don't think we're meant to get over the death of a loved one. We honor them by thinking about them and the good times we had with them. I can't imagine not fondly remembering my folks nearly every day. God bless.
@@52ponybike I'm the same Sherry. I still talk to my Dad who died suddenly in his sleep fifteen years ago and I'm not even in the same country now. I have his easy chair in my bedroom and sit in it in the quiet to feel close to him. He is still with me.
Last one was very nice. The gentlemen’s wife still looking after him.
Great creepy stories. I think I'm in love with the narrator's voice because my husband walked by while I was listening to this and asked why I was smiling like an idiot.
LOL!!! Love it
@Wee Mac 🤣🤣
Look up obselete oddity. He has a channel!
@@JessicaDuBois Yes. Obsolete Oddity has a very sexy and interesting accent. He can narrate the most gruesome stories and still hold the listener's interest. 🎙️
THAT, friends, was really well written, narrated, and all around very classy. Thank you!
Thank you.
My fiancé who committed suicide visited. He did not want to leave.
I was not kind in my ultimatum for him to go!
You could do an entire video on haunted London theaters. Many years ago in London, I saw "The Woman In Black". When I read the program afterwards, I discovered that the theater was haunted. Glad I didn't know beforehand! 😊
I saw the Woman in Black at the Theatre Royal in Bath, which is also supposed to be haunted by a very unusual "ghost". During the 1948 pantomime rehearsal the theatre manager died of a heart attack while lighting a scene featuring a butterfly dance. Seeing this as an ill-omen, the scene was cut. However just before the show was due to open a live butterfly was sighted (bearing in mind the pantomime season is in the middle of winter) in the theatre, so the scene was replaced. The show was a huge success, and since then every appearance of a butterfly is supposed to be an omen of a good panto - sometimes even appearing on stage during the performance. In honour of their strange mascot the original butterfly set piece from the 1948 show are always hung in the flies.
Yes..I jump when the lady come out..I remember the inside theater is creepy
I saw it there too! Amazing experience!
@@ameerahameerah5372 When the woman was first sighted on stage, my response was, "Where did she come from?!" It was a bit of theatrical redirection: get us all looking downstage left while she appeared upstage right. Or was that reversed? It's been 30 years! The scene with the rocking chair ending with a scream caused the schoolgirls attending that matinee to break out in laughter and talking. I realize now it was tension being broken. A wonderful performance that I can still call to mind right now. Very atmospheric and spooky. Well done by the 2 actors. If you haven't read the novel yet, I highly recommend it. Susan Hill really captured that Victorian sense of menace in her writing. The movie was good, too.
Greatly appreciate the lack of sensationalism in these videos.
I have been watching your videos for most of the day and night. However, before I go to bed, I have to say, thank you for these stories, ghosts and histories and macabre findings. I am fascinated with history and I appreciate that you take the time to thoroughly research them before putting them up. I look forward to watching more. THANK YOU!
Well done. Keeping it simple: a story, a voice. Thank you!
There's a similar case to the last one: given by paramedics' ghost stories. In this as I recall: a man's call brings them to a house where they find this man in the house, who asks the paramedics to check on his ailing wife upstairs. When they reach the dying woman upstairs: they explain her husband had ushered them in and remained downstairs. She explains, her husband had died years earlier.
One nigth after work on the underground i was reading a newspaper waiting for the last tube and there was no one next to me , i suddenly heard a mans voice asking , “How are you.” . .?. ..God it was so real , i always think that a spirit tried to make contacted.
Utterly brilliant. More like this please! Easy to follow, to the point and really interesting. You are a great narrative. Top marks, more pretty please!!
"The unluckiest house in London" is one of my all time favourite ghost stores! And it has a St James in it, kismet
Always a pleasure to get a new video from you. Thank you for another well made video. *:-)*
"We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell."
Oscar Wilde.
Love 💕 this
Bullshit not all of us
Well, he should know....
@ladywharton What the hell has he done?
He was partly right as each of us has our own adversary.
Love ghost stories it's like been a kid again 😮❤🤣🤣
The story of the apparition seen by airport personnel standing behind a living employee reminds me of a story told in a similar video about hauntings in the London Underground. In this case, a man working at night reported an unauthorized person in one of the tunnels, and a security guard went to check it out. Via radio, the security guard said there was no one there, but the other person kept saying it was right there beside him. Crazy! EDIT: I forgot to say that, in each instance, the anecdotes are told by the people who actually had the experiences.
I know the story you're talking about, the one where the ghost was in white overalls and the only thing that remained were the overalls placed over the bench - I think the scariest one was the face that appeared through the wall and the saddest was all those people (172) who died when Bethnal Green Tube was used as an Air Raid Shelter (when construction had just been completed) and there was a panic when what they thought was an AR Siren sounded and a Woman holding a baby tripped on the last two steps (damp, wet, slippery) and, as a result, all those lives were lost and the ghosts/spirits of the Women and children can still be heard, under certain conditions, crying/screaming (gradually increasing in intensity).
I was haunted,for over 15yrs,it was not pleasant at all..
They had followed me,from the house where it started...
I eventually found someone to help me,now I live in Peace,although,I still sleep with a light on.
(at least I can sleep!)❤🦉x.
Andrea Nottellin 🤣😂🤣😂👻👻👻👻🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
My grandmother had one that followed her from house to house.
@@drwoo6090 Hahahaa,yep you think it's funny,until it happens to you!!
I was sceptical,and so was my Very pragmatic husband...
Other people had experiences in my homes,and some could've been coincidences,however,they'd never want to come back,I'd always be invited to meet up instead!
Anyway,I keep an open mind now,and not one that you can hear the wind whistling through.
Happy New Year!🤗🦉X.
London has the best ghost stories! I’d love to hear similar stories from the London Underground. Thank you for sharing these tales.
There's a really good video on youtube about hauntings in the London Underground - it's called Ghosts on the Underground by Antonio Marques. It was intriguing and very well made; I'd definitely recommend watching it if you haven't already :)
@@ellz7064 Thank you! I will definitely watch it. Appreciate the share :-)
@@suyen4999 You're welcome! Glad I could share it. Have a lovely day :)
Great stories as always, happy Christmas to Curious World and all his subbs.
And to you
Wishing you too a very happy Christmas
Had a late family friend tell me many ghost stories about the Clapham and Battersea area. He was an amazing story teller, wish I could hear just one more.
Always a joy to see a new video from Curious World in my feed. Thanks for continuing to provide us with excellent content.
Perfect for a grey January afternoon
I’m watching this during daylight hours as I would scare myself watching it at night I love this stuff, but scare easy.
It's the live ones, you need to worry about, not the dead ones! PPppMMmm
Tyvvm .... I love ghost stories & these were so good! 🎄
Once again, a SUPERB Presentation !!! Thank you SO much for this bittersweet golden nugget.
More please! This was so lovely. Scary-lovely.
A Kurri acquaintance of mine was killed in a highway accident. He had a head-on collision with another vehicle. His leg was torn completely off, and he lay in the road with blood pumping out of the wound in copious amounts. The first on the scene was another acquaintance who had once been a nurse. She looked at my friend, but there was nothing she could do with no medical kit. The passenger also was seriously injured, but he was not so bad. She worked on him as best she could until the ambulances arrived, and very likely saved his life.
That same night when she was asleep in her loft bedroom, alone and out in the country, she heard heavy footsteps coming up to her room. She got out of bed and looked down the stairs. It was my friend who had died in the road that afternoon. He was a big man and a bit of a rough character. He said to her angrily, 'What did you do to me???' She said, 'You died in a car crash at 'Hat Head turnoff. Your leg was torn off. I couldn't do a thing to save you!'
He said, 'Oh, is that what happened?' Then he turned and walked back down the steps, and was gone.
Yay! A new video from u! I check all the time and today's my lucky day. My bday is tomorrow so this is like a gift to me. I love your content! Thank u :)
Greetings from Texas 🇺🇸! Nice voice! Merry Christmas!
I’d love for you to do a video on Scottish ghost stories!
That's coming up soon.
Tyler Jolly of course 😁
TASK FORCE BLACK 😂😂😂 seem to be
Ghosts don't go to Scotland
I'd love to see one of other capitol cities, like Rome, Italy, Paris, France, etc. I'm American, but traveled to these cities, including London, I even went on a ghost walk in London.
I can't say enough good things about this channel and these videos! So well done! Thank you so much for such exceptional content! I truly appreciate the excellent work you do researching each of these!
Thank you, Cristy.
Love your channel. Great research and production, with content that is right up my street!
Really enjoyed these ghost tales, so well scripted and narrated with great pictures. Hope you do more in the future, thanks CW, great channel!
I used to live in Hammersmith, for many years.I have been to king street many many times. Its lovely to see it as it once was and to hear about its history.
Me too, I wonder which one it is and if it's still standing!?
Tempted myself but it was bombed during the blitz
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Thank you for the stories and all the hard work you put in to them. 🖐👻
Best stories in a long time.
Happy Xmas and New Year to you. Great voice.
“I did not know it was such pain to die; I thought that life had taken all the agonies to itself.”
Oscar Wilde.
Mr Liberty What a sad remark.
Why quote Oscar Wilde in this particular instance.
Mr Liberty can't even make an accurate insult!😂
I really enjoyed these stories, and hadn't heard any of them before. thanks for posting them, keep up the good work.
Boxing Day morning, and I'm so pleased to find this! Merry Christmas to you. A fascinating creepy post.
Why do so many of us love to hear ghost story’s at Christmas
There really are unexplainable incidents out there.My Father had an encounter not too dissimilar to the hitch hiker.seeing those old pics of Hammersmith was cool. Enjoyed your commentary.
Really enjoyed listening to these stories! Thank you 👍🏻
Been waiting on this!
Fabulous video! Perfect pace, superb background effects & amazing camera work. Such intriguing stories. You have such a lovely voice- perfect for ghostly storytelling!😬💀
Thanks for the kind words, Chasidah.
Love a good ghost story!
Those were awesome😁 I have always wanted to see London, even more now!! Maybe one day I'll get there from So. Il. USA
Finally a channel that has a normal voiceover and decent content
Thanks again for another amazing set of stories!
Todd E. Walnuts sent me. Love the stories. Thanks. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
Ooo good stories..thank you🤗
You do such a great job with your videos. I listen to them anytime but your voice is especially comforting when I can not sleep. I am so happy that I found you and subscribed. I tell many people about you. Thank you.❤️
I love this channel and I am so glad videos are uploaded again. This is quality mate!
NB, radars do not show people locations. Radar do not work that way.
Great posting CW :) Thanks for all your posts in 2019 - Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year :)
Cheers Andy, I will get back to everyone today... once the Christmas shopping is done.
Thanks for uploading. Great night for ghost stories!
This was really good! It's broad daylight and I still have goosebumps.
I aim to please.
Great ghosts stories , just love them , thank you for down loading them on here
Thank you for these interesting stories. Strangely, I don't find them creepy, just terribly sad. Poor souls. May God grant them peace and rest.
Fantastic stories I just love it! Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you, Kat.
The story about the cursed building on King Street was my favorite. Creepy.
Thankyou for the video . I kept this as a treat for Christmas Day because I have to go to work . Excellent stuff as always ♥️ Merry Christmas to you and all your fans ! ♥️👋🍒🦇
Love these type of stories,fascinating.
I love curious world. Always looking forward to that notification 👍🏻 have a peaceful christmas mate and keep up the excellent work 🎄🍻
I enjoyed the video, very well done! We have a similar Hitch Hiker story in America. Set around Late 1950’s or early 1960’s. A high school guy is driving home, picks up a girl walking home. She’s cold, and he gives her his jacket. When they pull up to the address, the girl disappeared. He knocks on the door, met by the girl’s mother, and is told she was killed in a wreck some years before. He drives to the cemetery and finds his jacket on her tombstone.
It's an age old tale. I bet there are hundreds of variants. Thanks for watching.
Indeed, there are. Apparently the story goes back to the 16th century, and is world wide. My personal favourite is Resurrection Mary from Chicago, who's just a likable, happy young lady who doesn't let a little thing like being dead stop her from enjoying life...... @@CuriousWorldProductions
Well done! Well done indeed! Thanks so much for posting and stay safe 🙏
❤️👻Thanks for the great stories,Curious World.
this is really great.I have had a few experiences of these things in east london. It surprises you more because you don't expect it in a city.
Excellent story telling. Didn’t know of this Hammersmith haunting at all
Wonderful and chilling. Thank you.
With the enormous amount of people in and around the hustle and bustle of London, it makes you wonder how many people you walk past are actually ghosts without you realising.
So, so true ....i like your chiane of thought
I love English ghost stories. These were great. Thanks and Merry Christmas !!
very, very good. i really enjoyed this, thank you.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel and so far very pleased. You're a true storyteller. I'm visiting London in April and will try and look for the places mentioned in this video.
Seasons greetings from Rotorua, New Zealand. Brilliant as always.
Everyone loves a good story. Thank you.
I enjoy this channel because you make the effort to actually investigate the stories, when possible. Not like the typical ghost telling channels. Good job!
I enjoy that part of it, but you can end up down a rabbit hole. Not literally, of course.
Splendid. Thank you very much.
Awesome Video! Very Interesting! Thank U. I enjoyed it!
When I was in London, I immediately had the feeling of how many ghosts in London are still incomprehensible things, This suggests that there are killed people and children, a terrible feeling
Very spooky stories. Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year to all. God bless us, everyone. 🎉
I love your videos Curious World, they're very interesting
This was a delightful video, well done. I especially like the narrator. Thank you.
Another great video CW.
Ghost stories for Christmas, perfect. I loved those old photos of London. I've seen a lot of comments about the radar, probably a story embellishment by an author; my family had several trips to Heathrow in the 70s to watch the planes, I remember the control tower. It would have had a clear line of sight to the runway back then. Thank you for a very interesting video, happy Christmas and New Year to you.
Happy Christmas to you. Yes, that was an oversight due to two things: my lack of knowledge of airport technology and relying on, as you put it, an embellished story.
This is one of the best channels on TH-cam. I like to think I'm qualified to say so!
perfect thing to help me fall sleep at the perfect time!
Excellent...well researched,filmed and narrated....really interesting and enjoyable, Thankyou 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋♀️
I love ghost stories and anything macabre and I don't scare easily but that second story of the dark presence in the corner of the room actually spooked me! I will be dreading having to turn out the light tonight!!!!
lol me too, that one was creepy
Me too! Do you know the stories of M R James? Best ghost stories in English.
Ooh that last story was really good! Merry Christmas 🎁🎉🎄
I listen to loads of ghost stories, takes alot to scare me but this selection gave me the chills! Had to turn my lamp on whilst listening in bed! Excellent job well done!! 👍😁♥️
I'm glad to hear it. 😊
love these videos always great to watch
I like your narrative and I have subscribed to your channel so I’m on a binge watch now and I’m sure I will enjoy your videos very much
Keep up the good work
Thanks 🙏 Nat x x
Welcome, Natalie. Thanks for the sub.
My first ever night in London in a hostel in Westminster which was in one of those big, white Georgian buildings, me and the girls in one room experienced multiple ghost experiences that night.
🤔
Please, share some more details, Alisha.
Another excellent video! Thank you!
Very good, thanks for upload.
