So glad you survived Newport Bus Station - doesn't get any scarier than that! "More grey ladies than grey pigeons....?" although that would be pushing it!
Great video as always. My grandad was an oil a woyter & he used to say vawse (rhymes with cause) instead of vase. Also if he was going anywhere it was always "up Newport" or "up Ryde" - he never seemed to be going downhill!!
It was a bit of an experiment but I enjoyed doing it. It felt like a school art project. (I wasn't allowed to do GCSE art, my older brother was the artist, so I did Drama instead).
Ah, I always wondered when the Venn diagram of ghost walks and the Isle of Wight would be drawn. Interesting intersection, Cool Dude [nods, stroking chin]...
Spooky stuff! Great walk, interesting to hear more about the history of places in Newport too! My most used iow word is 'somewhen', which until I was laughed at by friends at university I didn't realise wasn't a real word! It's so useful and I think it should be a word.
I never heard of 'somewhen' maybe it only came in for a few years. It has been quite good fun using the walks as an excuse to read more about the island history.
Brilliant as Always! My wife always tellls me i look like a gally-bagger in the mornings. She's probably right lol must check to see if there's one in your spotters handbook ✌
I had the pleasure of visiting the Isle of Wight last September. I stayed in Bembridge and travelled along the coast to Ventnor, Atherfield and Freshwater. I had a great time and finally got over the trauma of the Brading Wax Museum which had terrified me as achild in the seventies, when I last visited. I didn't see any ghosts and will certaintly return again next Autumn. Thanks once again for these videos. I find them most motivating to get out there and walk, and I very much enjoy the community here on TH-cam that has grown up around them. I always enjoy reading everyone's comments. Plus I was most surprised and pleased to win the prize draw.
In Cornwall, going for a walk is "going for a scat about". There is a load but the most common is dreckly which means sometime, as in "I'll do it dreckly"
Scarrots Lane was where the abortours were once located in town. Its said blood ran down the street in special open drains, and the sound of pigs and other animals screaming was absolutely awlful and sometimes the haunting horrific sounds are still heard to this day.
Such a cool video, love all the stories and local dialect. I like the Ralph Spooner one lol. Only things I remember are you "taking the Mickey " meaning making fun of, and Chiny chin chin or yarney barney if someone didn't believe you lol. School days in the late 70s and early 80s. :)
Brill vid, many laughs!!!! Of course, being from Nottingham our most famous phrase is 'ey up me duck' which we do actually use 🤣🤣🤣 and things such as 'ooo wori wiv' = who was he with? 🤣🤣🤣 keep trucking, stay cool 👍
Love your videos Marek, been watching for a long time. Am heading out on my first proper walk, a 15 miler next Saturday, then booking in the Jane Austen loop you did after that. Top walking!
I remember going to Fosters in the early 1990s looking for a cool shirt to wear and then seeing everyone from school wearing exactly the same stuff. Newport is looking a bit worse for wear these days which is sad.
Geordie dialect: bairn = child; gansey = jumper (clothing); Gallowa = horse; gannin' = going; hyem ("yem") = home; howay = Come on. Many more from my childhood. Great walk, Marek :)
My mom is from the north east(Jarrow) and it cracks me up when she says 'I'm gannin' hyem'. She's lived in the west mids for well over 40 years but her accent really comes out when she says that.
I’ve emigrated from the Island just last month and so this video made me very happy indeed. And terrified obviously. Scran or nammit for food were the stand out island terms I remember. Somewhen is not a bad one either.
I never heard somewhen. I was asking my nieces and nephews if they heard 'gurt' or any island dialect at school (they are on the island), they said no. It made me feel quite sad.
@@cdwc - Imagine my excitement today when I heard that Australia has the word ‘gurt’ in its national anthem. Imagine my disappointment when I checked and it’s actually ‘girt’ which means surrounded and not ‘big’.
Your Isle of Wight ghost walks are great. The ones that also take place on the island are good and it would awesome if you could collaborate with the ghost emporium at Arreton manor.
Wow, between the local dialect and Bargan Zadderday sounds totally mental. Also, excellent job sourcing stock photos of "people paying bills". It's mind boggling to think of how many photo shoots have been organised and paid for to take those pictures.
Cracking video Marek. 👍😃 Combining walking and ghosts makes a really interesting walk. I used to really like "The Mysterious Isle" vlogs too. Any plans to do some more of those? Newtown is a smashing place. I always secretly avoided Newtown on our Isle of Wight holidays, wrongly thinking it was going to be a busy 'traffic- gridlocked' City, rammed with shoppers. In actual fact, it's a lovely place to visit, with beautiful architecture & interesting shops. Really enjoyed this one. Will look out for those ghosts on our next visit 🤨👍😁 We live near Birmingham UK. They have many area specific words. Such as 'Gambole' meaning forward roll. A bit further North in an area called Dudley, their accent is so strong it's like a different language altogether. Very humorous & interesting to listen to though. 😁👍
To be honest Newport is not the greatest place to visit for a holiday - Newtown however is brilliant and peaceful. I might bring the Mysterious Isle back and some point. Nice one.
Oops.....I think I may have got my areas confused. Newport obviously, is the large town, Newtown is the peaceful tranquil area where the creek is. 😃👍 Apologies. 🤭 As you were. 😆
I once ordered tickets to the cinema in Newport Wales by mistake when I went to the one on the Isle of Wight, and Cineworld were dicks about giving me a refund.
The one other word: Pah ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Recognised a lot of places from my long weekend on IOW last year; thanks again for your recommendations!

Nice one Cool Nipper. Very informative as always and so chuffed to have made it in to the Gallery, unlike when I sent my drawing of a helicopter to Hart Beat as a 6 year old :(
'Gurt' is def used in Somerset, often to replace 'very' as well as 'large' e.g "Thass gurt yuge", "ers a proper gurt pillock". BUT, a bit of proper Somerset for you, "dimpsy" meaning twilight. An example, "it's getting gurt dimpsy, innit?!" (can you tell my PhD was in Somerset dialect!?)
Thanks for the excellent ghost stories and the IOH expressions.. I lived in a lot of places, but was in New Orleans for a while. The local accent was very non-rhotic. They call it Yat, for "where ya at?" for "how are you?" You went out making groceries, (like off t' shops), Ya momen n'em was family. Houses are often shotguns, lagniappe was a bakers dozen. 👻👻👻
@@cdwc Yeah, I'd say it was a very interesting place when I lived there before hurricane Katrina. But since I believe it's become more generic. A Confederacy of Dunces was a good book that depicted the uniqueness of the place.
Gay Baldwin is my favourite Baldwin. Dundonian is the hardest dialect to understand. I had to buy the bairn's mum a Dundonian For Beginners book so she could understand me when I spoke normal.
Love a whistling ghost or even the idea of a ghost running up a heating bill. BTW did we see one of your lapel badges on TV this week? Live at The Apollo?
Guessing the word could be cummy or crowner from your list. Excellent as always cool dude, can never oddzounderkuns hauw your videos. Lucky there were no azew cows in a backside. Excuse my rambling I'm muzzy and despurd bosky and can't take off me heeltaps because I'm a pinchfart....................
Hmmm some strange dialect from around me, stores that sell alcohol are called "package stores" so people call them "packys" uhmm people say wicked a lot, much like Ron Weasley, and we refer to eachother as "kid" quite often no matter how old the person is. Hmmm what else...OH people around here refer to water fountains as "bubblers" and turn signals as "blinkers" that's about all I can think of at the moment haha
I will never forget how terrified we all were at the prospect of George the shost's (edit: and George the ghost's) face appearing in the bushes after reading the ghost books at pony club camp! 🤣 Also, I used to have dreams about that fruit and veg shop about a chimpanzee that lived in there and chucked fruit and veg around the shop.... and that was before I'd read the stories😱
My favourite bit of this was imagining everyone sitting around reading ghost books at Pony Club Camp. I hope there was a pony club badge. I would wear one on my rucksack.
@@cdwc And the best bit about pony club camp was reading ghost stories knowing that about 25 years later you’d be making a ghost video imagining everyone reading the ghost stories at pony club camp. There was absolutely a badge. I’ve got my Cool Dude’s Walking Club badge so maybe I can create you some kind of knockoff version. I’m afraid you might have passed the age limit to join for an official one 😬
Dialect in Northumberland we used to use: Raggie (prounounced Rajy) = angry Geet = very, eg "He's geet skinny that lad" Got wrong = told off, eg You cannot dee that man you'll get wrong off the teacher. Tab = cigarette, eg "I got wrong off the teacher coz I had a tab in me mouth - she's geet raggie. etc
Nippers used to be the name of the Newport surf lifesaving club for kids in the Newport where I grew up. Which personally I thought was a form of cruel punishment for kids and I refused to go. It mainly consisting of running beach laps in very soft sand and swimming as far as you could out to sea and back again then repeating. So I learnt something from you today, I never knew why they called it Nippers. My Newport has less ghosts, but more cockatoos than yours. Gangs of Cockatoo terrorise wooden balconies and eat them. Real bullies!
Oooh ghost walks, my fav 😃 And pleeease talk isle of white language in every video. I’m kinda nervous to know what bobby dicks is tho... 😐 (ahhh just saw the subtitles lol! I was a bit confused for a minute there) I can’t think of much dialect from where I live, there’s a good bit of North East/Geordie I recognise in the comments already. A word that springs to mind, that I remember as a kid mainly, is “Ayaz!” which is like “ouch” I suppose - like “Ayaz! That proper knacked! Devo’d” = ow, that really hurt, I’m sad now. 😄 I’ll look out for a bit of IOW chat in future vids- we may not know what you’re talkin about but very entertaining all the same! 😁👍🏼
“Snake’s-stang, Snake’s-stang, vlee all about the brooks, And sting all the bad bwoys that vor the fishes looks; But let all the good bwoys ketch all the fish they can, And car ’em away hooam to fry ’em in the pan. Bren butter they sholl yet at supper wi’their fish, But all the little bad bwoys sholl onny lick the dish.”
Prior to being wadhams it was owned by a pop star either dave, dozy, mick or titch I'm sorry for the confusion I havent a clue but one of them I'm sure
Few comments this time. First, that ghost lift story if true would be very sad. Remember that lift would have been running back in the day when it was someone's job to be in the lift 24/7 taking people up and down. It means it's possible that whoever that was operating the ghost life is stuck in a dark, filled in elevator shaft doing the same repetitive, monotonous job, all alone, going up and down forever. Second, are there more gray ladies or pigeons? Third, for those interested in what the buying power of that electricity bill in the baby story is in terms of today's buying power it'd be £2,295.62! Thanks Bank of England inflation calculator!
Regional Colloquialisms? Well basically you put f*cking in front of, you put f*cking behind of and put f*cking in replace of words. Example interaction: Man 1: What the f*cking f*ck?! Man 2: F*ck you! Man 1: F*ck me? Nahh f*ck you! I'm from New York.
So glad you survived Newport Bus Station - doesn't get any scarier than that! "More grey ladies than grey pigeons....?" although that would be pushing it!
That is a much better example than...... Maybe the grey ladies are ghosts of grey pigeons? That would be a real horror story.
Yeah you right!
Great video as always. My grandad was an oil a woyter & he used to say vawse (rhymes with cause) instead of vase. Also if he was going anywhere it was always "up Newport" or "up Ryde" - he never seemed to be going downhill!!

Thank you Prince Andrew, you are so kind.

Nice one cool dude. Thanks for getting it. Good luck with the spotting. :spotters:
Ah, I always wondered when the Venn diagram of ghost walks and the Isle of Wight would be drawn.
Interesting intersection, Cool Dude [nods, stroking chin]...
There are more ghosts than people on the Isle of Wight. It might be something to do with the ageing population.
Love your work Cool Dude
Thanks cool dude.

It is such a shame the Wax Museum has gone. Possibly one of the top five scariest places in the world.
"Oowah!" was very common in north Essex as a noise of amazed surprised at a newly learned bit of news
Ha ha. I like that one.
In Cornwall, going for a walk is "going for a scat about". There is a load but the most common is dreckly which means sometime, as in "I'll do it dreckly"
Ahhh, a bit like a shortening of 'directly'.
love the ghostwalks so much thank you marek
Cool. I will do some more cool dude.
Thank you marek for my bday card. Went for the Newtown lake walk. Was lovely! Ps( I’m a member now)
