The fog just adds to the magical ambience the ruin just radiates.
spooky
I was literally about to comment the same thing!! It looks soooooo peaceful!!
I am a retired professional Broadcast TV Cameraman living a few miles from Slains in Aberdeenshire, so well filmed very professional and great to put Slains on the Dracula Map....Very well done as per usual. I would have thought any Hollywood producer looking at this stunning footage could easily build a brilliant script on a new Dracula movie, using this location as the start of the film ???
Thats actually a brilliant idea but unfortunately we live in the cgi Ai era which sucks so directors say oh let's just green screen it in 🤦♂️
@@walterhager8626 Walter that is true, but some Directors sometime slip back to traditional sets and models or film rather than video, instead of CGI. Its just Slains Castle (and I live pretty close to it) would be so wonderful to use as a location and light at night as a Cinematographer. As a ruin its ideal for a script that could use it as a backdrop /time shift or the return of Dracula. Also re film location the old big Peterhead Prison is also available as a location very close to Slains its not changed since Prisoners were kept in it so perhaps add that to the script as it close to move the crew to??? Just a thought.
@@alwatt9367 I agree but there so many directors that don't have that vision or drive anymore or have passed on. Another reason I messaged you is I seen broadcast cameraman is that like the news and stuff? Either way sounds like an awesome job and you speak of filming with passion. Who would you think would make a good Dracula movie because been awhile since we've had 1. Like I love movie scripts and Van Helsing was a decent movie but so much cgi and stuff kinda ruined it for me. Also goes for me personally I love the Ghostbusters but the new 1 wasn't so good but if ya ever seen the 2021 one Ghostbusters Afterlife it's just to me an amazing movie and fun ride and the ending was beautiful still not as good as the original which nothing usually is the as good as the original lol. Sorry I ramble alot when I type. But who would you think living or dead would have done an amazing job on this filming location maybe about Bram finding his inspiration or dragula himself? Oh I'm curious about the jail thing when were the last prisoners? Sorry I love having conversations about stuff like this and would love all the info you feel like typing
@@walterhager8626 Hi Walter seems unfair to hog the grimmlife collection... To answer your first question I trained in London as a studio Cameraman doing sit coms Dramas Outside Broadcasts etc.. Became first Cameraman in UK to do ENG which led me to Lighting Cameraman then documentary, drama then had to do ENG News as the company decided to stop Studio and Outside Broadcasts.. So I feel its a real compliment from me to Grimmlife as did Camerawork for 40 plus years. You can look up Peterhead prison as its now available to visit and hire for filming ...Think 10 years ago roughly it closed and a new one was built.. If I were a producer I would get Hugh Laurie to be the next Dracula as I think he has great potential as a producer and actor..I have never worked with him but he was fabulous in The Night Manager and the House MD Tv series. Best wishes al
I think an indie film maker that uses location to their advantage more
“I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.”- Bram Stoker🦇🦇🦇....thank you both for such a beautiful film 💚🖤💚
Renews, Newfoundland.
The way Baby Goul's hair and the green plants stand out against ruins is so beautiful!
I second that 🙋🏻♀️ and her hair was glowing when she went down into the kitchen, as she called it. 😊
i love green hair
As you were walking through the ruins I am imagining those that walked the halls many many many moons ago in the 16th-century, and then imagining Bram Stoker roaming the grounds pulling inspiration for Dracula. Reading Dracula in high school sparked my love for all things gothic. AMAZING video, as per usual.
Actually,Bram Stoker got the idea from a case of supposed vampirism in upstate NY, the vampire was a young girl named Mercy Lena Brown.. the main characters names are derived from her name... during the tuberculosis epidemics in the 1890s, people feared it was vampires..Her body was exhumed,her heart was burned on a nearby headstone and her brother consumed the ashes, supposed to keep him safe, but he died of Tuberculosis anyway... should be able to Google it
I imagine building a castle out of blue granite. Not so big though. CAT 330 can do wonders.
What a great location and story told by Michael and Jessica along to see the beautiful castle itself in all its glory
I absolutely love your concern for your wife as she walks on the wall near the cliff and the stairs in the castle. It is so precious! Thank you for letting us explore these wonderful places with you!
I'm two minutes in and I'm already in total awe of the location 💚
Scotland in the sunshine is magical but you landed so lucky to get bright conditions, mist and no rain for your shots there, perfect.
I read a story in Reader's Digest about that place. This guy went there in the 1960's and spent the night. In the morning he found two puncture wounds on his neck. He went to the doctor and it was determined that he was bitten by a spider that was common to the region.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 vamp spidy bless you
What's so heartbreaking is that we have horrific cliff erosion round our coast now, and unless something drastic is done in the near future, that's going to start crumbling away along with the cliff! What I was most surprised, and saddened about. is not only the lack of any kind of upkeep or protection, but there are no safety barriers or catch netting anywhere. Wow!*! Thanks for the vid though, you might be really glad you captured this in the not too distant future as I think it won't stay looking like that for much longer!*! ❤
For the love of Pete is right. I'm not afraid of heights, but walking up those stairs would have freaked me out. No protection barriers. You would be on your own. Creepy.
Bringing that drone was a smart move. That descending shot into the octagon really gives viewers the ruin's scale. And I get the impression it was meant for ceremonies. Just a gut feeling.
I've been here a few times. A friend once told me whatever you do don't go out there at night. I asked why. He said because there is a witches coven meets at Slains regularly. The old fire in the ruins. I get the feeling that has been part of a witchcraft ritual
@@doobydootoo A regular meeting place for a witches' coven? That wouldn't surprise me. Slain Castle looks like the perfect location for such rituals.
@TheKulu42 it's a very eerie place. You can feel the darkness all over it
That low tone/tempo, droning chant you use in these videos really shivers the ivories. That coupled with the haunting dense fog compels me to remind everyone watching this video at night to check those corners the next time you feel obliged to go downstairs for a drink of water in the kitchen.
Oh gracious, I'm rolling my eyes. That's not a kitchen. That is one of the cellars with a built-in stone shelves maybe for wine, depends how close is to a dining room. It have to be built with arch-vault to withstand the weight of the building above. The larger vault is where they would have a built-in cabinet. Nothing unusual about it, many old houses of the 18 and 19th centuries in Europe, still have it. The castle is huge, and made sense to have it close to the dining instead of walking far to get the wine. But then again, if one doesn't know much the old Europe, anything can have been built for spooky purposes.
Amazing, it's really fun for people like me who can't travel for health and financial reasons, being able to travel through your videos, fun adventures, historical places, thank you very much. That would be a dream for me to see places like this.
You know that it's a true love that will last forever, when she shares her Oreos with you. She says, I love you more than Oreos! HUGE moment. HUGE!
Hands down my favourite location you've shown us (so far). It's so isolated and beautiful. So atmospheric and peaceful.
I wish the castle was still there, but even in ruins, it whispers over the wind.
I'm from Scotland and I'm a huge fan of Dracula AND had no idea this place existed! Will definitely take a trip there now. What a beautiful video at an inspiring location.
Its amazing that you're both in Scotland, hope you have an incredible time here 😊
Stoker spent a lot of time in Glasgow to he got Reinfield name from Renfield Street in the City centre
@@legandrydirk I have some research to do! I've never put 2 and 2 together haha. I guess when you see something everyday it's normal and passes you by without notice haha. Thanks for informing me! That's so fun
@@FantasiaScoutRP Enjoy the ride
how is it possible being from Scotland, a fan of Dracula and not knowing it?
@@khiara69 Are you from Scotland? If not, we have a lot of castles haha. It's the norm to not know the backstory of them unless you live in the area of that particular one 😅
The mist just gives the video its perfect vibe, the most perfect Dracula mood. Hearing you read a part of the book and seeing that location makes me want to reread that masterpiece again. Another amazing video, you guys just always seem to find the most unique places. Can't wait till the next one!
I done a ghost tour at Dublin castle at night. Our tour guide told us that bram stoker worked there as a accountant and he left as he was having nightmares,while he was awake. And it’s written in the night watchman’s books. That he saw bram stoker fighting with someone but there was no one there. He left there and a few years later wrote Dracula.
Can't believe you made it to my castle near my home. I live in Edinburgh now, but I often travel north to my folks. I've not been there for a while, and last time I went, it was sealed off to the public, and I also went at night. A dangerous place that has sadly claimed a number of lives of unaware visitors.
How far is Slain’s Castle from Edinburgh? I’d love to visit someday.
@@traceyaffleck1706 It's approximately 158 miles north from Edinburgh and is just outside the small village of Cruden Bay on the coastline. Lovely in the summer, but cold and very windy other times of the year.
Used to go there all the time as a kid, my dad told me about a couple of people he knew over the years who had died there. There’s one doorway in the castle that just opens out onto a sheer cliff face, very deceptive and dangerous if you don’t know it’s there.
@venger78 So beautiful! It's where my Grampa was born, I want to visit so bad one day. My husband passed away recently and it was going to be the retirement trip! Sadly 😥 it is going to be a solo trip now.
@@user-ty2xv6xw8j I lost my partner a few years back too. Got a few years till retirement myself, and I know exactly how you must be feeling. Make those trips, and others and keep living and enjoying what you can. They're good for the soul, and I'm sure he'll be with you when you go. They never leave us 🙏♥
The mist rolling in from the sea was just the most perfect visuals for your visit to both here and to Sawney Bean's cave.
I grew up in Cruden Bay since my granny lived there before she died.. haven’t been back in a few years, nice to see some of the old sights. Nice childhood memories here
Jessica is right it does make me think of the movie The last Unicorn, such a beautiful and sad story. I love ruins of old castles but I don't visit them that much because I don't get the chance.This is so beautiful and I can imagine what it must have looked like when it was active. I love seeing how much you both love and respect the history of old places. So very beautiful and had no idea he was inspired by such a lovely place when writing Dracula.
Legend says Grimm Life waited for the perfect day to make this presentation. And it was not going to be sunny.
The mist completely set the tone. Well played good sir. 💪🔥👍
OMG! Those ruins are more precarious than I had ever imagined them to be!
You two are like a couple of giddy kids, it's so much fun to watch how excited you are to be in the very castle that inspired the epic tale by Bram Stoker. Greatly enjoyed this.
This is absolutely stunning, although it's just the structure of it. Imagine all the ppl who walked where you're walking back in the day.This is insanely gorgeous.
Can you imagine being the one to light all those fire places to try to keep warm? My goodness lol. It's such a shame that the castle fell into such disrepair.
I was waiting for a worm to pop up and tell you" Things aren't always what they seem in this place......" Seriously tho, this is the best place you have visited so far. Gave me chills....
I live in the UK and I’ve got to say your videos are the best I’ve seen on these places. Your enthusiasm and passion for our history and buildings shines through, so glad I stumbled across your channel 😊
The Last Unicorn song IMMEDIATELY came back to me. Thank you for the sparked childhood memory.
I used to live in Cruden Bay and visited Slains Castle and the Kilmarnock Arms hotel many times. Bram Stoker also stayed at a cottage called the Crooked Lum in a village called Whinneyfold near Cruden Bay. Allegedly it was whilst staying at the Crooked Lum nightmares he had after eating too much crab meat gave him an inspiration to write Dracula. Incidentally there is an older ruined castle called Old Slains Castle a bit further south along the coast and also there is a wreck called the Chicago right below Slains Castle which I’ve dived on. Great video guys. 👏
I am disabled , so I live vicariously through your videos . I ❤️ the ruins of places like this . The cliffs , the fog , the sea gives it that eerie feeling. Thank you both for taking me along 😊
I’m rather new here and I love how sweet you are and how you call your lady “baby guel” haha - keep on you two! Absolutely loved this episode! What a mystical magical place! You’re so lucky to have visited! Thanx for bringing us along! 💖
The castle in the mist looked so spooky and cool at the same time. Great video!
Please preserve this magical place! 😭
I am 62 and disabled, so I can't get out and about. Being an old Goth, I truly appreciate what you two do! And you are such a cute couple, I could hug you both ❤🎃🦇
My hubby and I are even older goths. It’s not an age thing. We know it’s a way of being. Much gothic love to you xxx
@@elodiedutroux5832 and to you both ❤🦇
This is wonderful! So pleased you got to visit, Jessica and Michael! The sea mist rolling in added to the atmosphere of this video. My husband and I hope to visit Cruden Bay and Slains later this year, as our friends moved near there last year. I saw Dacre Stoker on Thursday evening and Friday evening. He talked about how Bram wrote Dracula in Cruden Bay and that Slains was an influence for Dracula's castle. He combined Bran Castle and Slains for the castle. Dacre came to Derby in England for the Dracula Returns to Derby - a new project to shed light on legacy. I contacted you several times on social media to let you know about Dacre Stoker coming here, as I wondered if you were still in the UK. I appreciate you probably get a lot of messages, so may have missed my messages. 😊
Dude, I was hugging my couch while you hugged the walls at the end.
This is incredible. My mom's family is from Scotland and this is exciting for both of us! (She's a fan BTW) so thank you for this opportunity to live vicariously through the two of you! ❤
She must be of great blood ❤
@@MichaelAmos-ul6zj Why?
Also always adore/love baby ghoul's green hair.. SO pretty 😯💚
💚
Fantastic video Mike and Jessica. Your camera work is superb, and showcases the castle beautifully. The mist coming off the North Sea is known as Haar.
I'm originally from Aberdeen (now London, not far from where Bram Stoker's ashes are kept) and have family connections with Cruden Bay; so have been to Slains a few times. It never ceases to blow my mind. I was on tenterhooks seeing Jessica near the cliff edge 🫣
Bram stayed at The Kilmarnock Arms hotel, and he signed the guest book which they still have to this day.
Makes me homesick watching this! 🏴😊
Wow. Mind blown. I've been a huge fan of Dracula and Bram Stoker since I can remember and have read and watched most Dracula related media over the decades. And yet I honestly never knew that Slains Castle was the real life inspiration for Castle Dracula. I know that the Romanian tourist board love to claim that either Bran Castle or Corvin Castle inspired Stoker, but this place seems much more plausible actually. I can just picture the count roaming through those ruins. One can only imagine what it must have been like to have experienced the place before it fell into decay.
The enthusiasm and genuine joy you two have when visiting these locations is just perfect :) and very sweet to see! Ive camped out in the ruins before (and other places) never leave rubbish or anything behind but just to immerse oneself in the darkness, and in the history of the place, is very special. To imagine what it was like, imagine the real fireplaces and candles lighting up old rooms. You guys bring a smile to my face :) liked and s'bed. Those oreos look neat too never had a blond oreo before 😂
The opening to the video with the fog overhead was something else! 👌🏻
Awesomely atmospheric! Oh, …and the mist! 😍 That’s production value that simply cannot be bought. Your UK series has been my favourite of all your published work. Thank you!
Don't think you could have picked a better day for this. That mist was perfect, especially when you used the drone. What an amazing atmosphere you presented.
Thank you…and yes we were very lucky. One of our most memorable visits for sure
❤❤Darkest Grimm.. So Enchanting❤ Haunting Misty Ruins❤ Otherworldly Towers And Siren Sea., Fantastical Drone Images., Wonderful Your Reading DRACULA Within The Magickal Room. L❤ve you❤❤
The 2 of you are an asset to the horror community!🤘I know you get to visit cool locations but alot of hard work is also done behind the scenes. Thanks for that.. Happy Halloween 🦇
Really great photography guys! Really enjoyed this. I could almost feel the chill of the mist and smell of the sea. Another place in the U.K that I didn't know existed. I think they call this mist Haar up there in Scotland, it happens this time of year. Probably was 70 degrees or something in Glasgow to the west haha, but great for the atmosphere. M
That intro in the middle of fog... You nailed. 😊😊
Great to see you visit the area I grew up in. I was brought up in Cruden Bay. Stoker penned some of Dracula in the local hotel, the Kilmarnock Arms. Played along those cliffs and in the castle as a child, looking back I think how mad that was. Great memories though, thanks for visiting 🧛🏼
Stoker’s signature is in the guest book. Saw it a few times as a kid as my granny and grandad used to drink in there on weekends 😅
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You guys are so lucky to be able to do what you do. I loved this one.
Absolutely breathtaking. Your filming and curiosity captured the mystique.
I love how we can hear the sheer joy and excitement in Michael's voice. Love you guys xx
WOW! This was SO COOL!!! Seems like the weather was the perfect backdrop for this tour.
Thank you so much for ‘taking me’ to so many awesome places I’ll likely never get to visit. You & Baby Ghoul are such a great couple with a true transparent love. Super enjoyable vicarious trip for me and so many others, I’m sure. 😊🩷👍🏻!!!
Again.... Just amazing beauty! Bram Stoker was very lucky to have been part of this experience. Thanks for sharing this! 😊
Omg I got nervous as she was walking and you look and there’s just a drop! So beautiful but I had chills thinking Baby Ghoul don’t fall! Don’t wanna test out your bat wings that way! It’s eerie feeling with the fog but so beautiful too because it’s like you are looking into the unknown! It’s also crazy because as soon as Baby Ghoul walked through the arch of the ruins it felt honestly like a scene from Harry Potter! It’s so crazy but cool to get these images in your head of this beautiful place and cannot help but picture in your head the wonders of how this castle looked and knowing it’s historic! With the fog and the eerie feeling you get chills and it’s almost as if your blood runs cold, but it’s exciting at the same time! Walking around the ruins felt like I was right there! Picturing Bram walking through here to inspire Dracula is amazing and that room it’s legit walking through history! So so incredible and amazing and eerie and beautiful! And the drone shots of the ruins icing on the cake so so crazy but I’m loving it! Another bucket list place added to my second notebook for sure! Just so amazing I’m so glad you both got to be there and experience the history and adventure! Safe travels always, love you both! 🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️💚🦇👻
🦇👻
👻🦇
Such a cool video! All anyone brings up is Bran Castle so seeing this one in Scotland is so interesting! The mist and the sound of the sea make it too.
Man, I love when Michael's hair gets curly. I, love it, it looks great. lol
I love the haunting music!! So much!
I lve in market place whitby I am so lucky hope you enjoyed
Diving into this now! I just got home and am resting from a dye injection MRI and am resting comfortably with a new adventure from my besties! And it’s going to be a gooooooood one! 👻💚🦇🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️
I want to thank you, not much of a traveler, but really great to see trough your eyes theses great places.
my imagination ran wild, with putting life into the castle.....how cool!
Huge fireplace in one of the first rooms you walked through, would be Kool if they offered a horse drawn couch to take visitors out there, or night time tours with torches and a campfire! 😊
you know i thought the creature of the black lagoon set visits were tops to see you all at.....but this....this is just that cherry on top. thank you for going there. dreams!
I have virtually went through this castle with another TH-cam person but you tell the story way cooler!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That may be the coolest place I have ever seen. I so appreciate your efforts in sharing these places with us!
Beautiful very green enjoy Scotland
EPIC. Thank you for sharing my favorite spook, Bram Stokers Dracula 💜🖤⚰️🧛♀️
That is the most atmospheric vid I've ever seen from you. As someone who doesn't like heights the tension was building as Michael climbed the steps - the palms of my hands were sweating!
I LOVE that her mind also went to The Last Unicorn 🧛♂️🖤🦄
Hi Micheal and Jessica !💚🖤💚🖤
Awesome video
How wholesome do you wanna be?
Michael and Jessica: YES!
I love old castles! I think, it has moved onto it's best shape at the moment, cause it looks cold and dreary and reminds me of Game of Thrones. Sometimes nothing much is left from old castles, but this one has many passages! So great to see this footage! Thanks!
I'm currently working on a vampire hunter journal and I've been debating weather to bring Dracula into it or not but this video has helped me make my decision up so thank you guys and the castle is beautiful will have to go myself
What a beautiful castle. Awesome video as always! Much respect to you both! Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
Thank you Chuck. Happy Halloween
@@grimmlifecollective Happy Halloween to you both as well!
YAY! I love the last unicorn! No lie just watched it again 3 days ago. I so want a remake. And Christopher Lee said he'd love to voice the king again. ❤🦄
It doesn't need a remake
That adventure was sick. Scottland, Rocks... Castle Rocks :p
That Drone footage is really cool !!! Stay well
This has got to be the coolest place you've been, and that's saying something. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could go back in time and see that castle 🏰
This place is off the wall!! Love it!!🧛🦇👍
What a beautiful mystic castle plus the mist and the ocean only added to it. My brother was lucky enough to travel to Transylvania Romania to see Dracula’s castle when he was on business. He said it was amazing and a once in a lifetime adventure so much history was there 🖤
I find it amazing that the Manor seems to be habitable during the age of photography, which I believe began in higher quality around 1850, or a bit later. This makes me believe, (with out Wiki research) that the place must haven endured a great fire. Very well made video and commentary, and the Scottish mist is the icing on the cake. You both captured the place in a very fine manner. Thank you, and God bless.
p.s. One of my Great-Great-xxxxx Grandfathers was Baron Hugh Giffard the Wizard of Yester. He was one of the most favored of the Anglo-Normans, and an advisor to the Scottish king. He died in 1267, and his "Hobgoblin Hall" is still intact outside of the village of Yester, Scotland today, and well worth the hike. Happy Trails!
12:14 omg yes Jess 😊 I am a huge fan of The Last Unicorn book and movie and agree with you completely ❤❤
It look so eerie...and beautifull! It's like just by watching it, i foprget the rest of the world for a moment! Thank for sharing yout aventure, i'm a diseable person! And been able to travel the world trough your videos...just make life a bit more magical!
you guys should visit the real one In Brasov Romania !!!
Oh my, how beautiful.
I’m a huge fan of “the Last Unicorn” and you’re absolutely right, it’s does bring that image to my mind. Still cry when I watch it ❤
Absolutely breathtaking and thank you for sharing with us! A note to people who feel the need to scratch their name into stone when they visit - stop it, please! Your memories should be in your pictures only and not the defacement of historical landmarks. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Hey Grimmms, Wow, Michael your camera work is awesome and that drone footage is to die for!! You two stay safe, Jessica you are soo cute, I like how you are the first to go into the scary places.Regards from Arizona
There's a real one in Transylvania .. hint .hint..
In Romania.
Isn't that actually in the province of Wallachia? Poenari castle
He has 2 castles in Transylvania the one in the Carpathian mountain ruins is the one he spent the most of his time at its got the old cemetery in the front of it i remember butch Patrick a.k.a Eddie munster from the TV the Munsters did a Transylvanian Dracula tour there one Halloween
Such an incredible presentation. Truly breathtaking.
the mist just made it perfect
There are places on this earth that are just pure magic. We are convinced this place is one of them. Happy you enjoyed the video
Howdy Mr and Mrs Grimm hope you guys are doing great, sorry I was kinda late on your last video really looking forward to this one 😊
Beautiful place Wow
I love seeing old castles. Thus is so beautiful! I can definitely see how Bramstolker got his inspiration for Dracula or at least for the housing part. I definitely agree with the ocean sounds. I can see myself falling asleep to it every night.
Wow! Me and my buddy visited here 2 years ago and had ambitions to camp beside the ruins but we got creeped out and noped! Very atmospheric 😮.
That’s so cool you guys get to see those places and show them to us, thank you for that.
I know we all have our opinions on the state of the world and the politics going on now but it’s such a wonderful thing that you have created a place for us all to go and not argue and we can just enjoy what we all love so thank you for that as well.
