The person on the right is wearing a trilby hat similar to what my late Father wore . He wore one all his life but they were fashionable in the 40s and 50s. The coat he wearing is from the same era.
Had the exact same figure staring at me in the early 90s while we were processing an image but only down to his neck it was scanning and he left before the image was complete. We went to save the image and the computer rebooted in front of about nine of us.
Brilliant!, This is a photo my brother took, it's totally genuine! We still go now and again to try to capture things again, nothing so far but will keep going 🙂!
Wow, this is incredibly interesting as I visited this church with my dad, who is a photographer. He was taking some shots when he swears he heard someone whisper "look for your name". He turned towards the voice and the first headstone he saw had his first name Simon, and directly next to it was one with our second name Powell. Left us very uneasy for a little while, we've both had multiple experiences in the past but this one felt particularly sinister.
This was very exciting :-) And it must have been quite eerie feeling inside of that church - especially when you were almost locked inside :-) Really interesting to watch. Torunn :-)
Thank you so much you two for your visit to church cove Gunwalloe.. I've spent many pleasant times both in that church alone and with others.. I'm very receptive to spirit, having seen them through stages of life.. I can honestly say with this particular church I have never felt anything of a ghostly nature just pure peace and bliss.. I've spent lots of time in the churchyard both in daylight and dusk.. And felt the same.. Safe if anything.. I looked up the history long ago.. And read that in the smuggling days the detached Tower was used to lure cargo or merchant galleons to their doom and into the neighbouring rocks to be plundered upon by the locals.. Lots of seamen in that time period were murdered in the process.. The church foundations are very old and pre date A. D.. Something like 350 A. D.. Later the church was built up around the previous foundations.. And is as it stands today... My son and I love this church and spent time in it this Easter gone.. Most beautiful place on earth.. As far as I'm concerned anyway.. The stillness and the peace cannot be found elsewhere, and neither can the backdrop of the Atlantic ocean... However there was a church not that far away with a very strange foreboding atmosphere and I don't know if its been pulled down as it was a ramshackle of a mess when I visited it long ago.. And vowed never to go there again! I love all old historic buildings, but particularly churches and cathedrals and castles.. And ghosts yeah I'm into that and always have been... Thanks for sharing.. Hope you find some haunts.. Adrienne 🌞
Hi, A lovely comment and thank you for taking the time to create it. I would love to know what church was pulled down. We have a couple of tips for haunted locations that I am keen to follow up, I enjoy a good spooky tale to explore and investigate. I think you can get a sense or a feel even without all of the fancy equipment, a shiver down the spine, an unfavourable shadow or just something you can't quite put your finger on! I am sure we will make some more ... Sarah
5.12 mins in, as you were focusing on the tall stone statue figure, in the back drop there looked like two people peeking from behind the tomb stones in full cornish attire, locals maybe or said other 🙄😊😁😎
WOW! That is a really interesting picture. Investigating things like this is always interesting. Going to share this with some friends of mine that do paranormal investigations. Well done. I enjoyed this!
Great video guys!.....interesting stuff. Lovely church despite the spooky goings- on! I love looking at old gravesites, and gravestones.... some of the inscriptions can be quite revealing of a persons' time in history! 😊👍
You would get on really well with my Mum - she loves old gravestones, the verses and the old language! On our walk at Mylor we found a grave to a smuggler!! Sarah :)
I live in North Yorkshire I completely believe this is Authentic, I was taking a photograph of one of my flower boxes under my kitchen window there was my Dad in the kitchen he passed away two years before. Very similar to this photo
Back in the early 80s I was a wedding photographer from Helston..I photographed many couples getting married in that beautiful church. Often I would be the only person in the church before the wedding in order to take the interior shots adorned with flowers . On one occasion after looking closely at the images I had taken, their was the shadow of a small child (7/8yrs old) standing at the alter with their head lowered. I still have the photograph and was only looking at it the other day ...38 years later ....No photoshop in them days ..what you shot was what you got !
That sounds incredible and I bet you were a little shocked! Always makes me wonder about their lives and what happened to them. Thanks for sharing your story! Sarah :)
About the time you were posting this up, I was down at that spot having another look at the old church and cove before a beautiful sunny weekend away down in Cornwall! Have been there so many times before, (and have been known to have the odd paranormal experience over the years)...but never here! Came home today and lo and behold tuned into your channel to see that there's Mr.Ghost standing exactly where I had been on Friday! He was obviously admiring the view as I was that day! It's my favourite church anywhere! x
Interesting video. It's widely known that spirits contact us via electronic equipment, cameras, music players and lights for example. Fabulous story - good to see a viewer involved. All the best. Mark
So interesting Sarah and Andrew,I need to show this one to my daughter ,as I told you she is very into the paranormal. To me , the figure looks as if he is clothed in late 1800’s religious cloak and hat ,although I am by no means an expert in period dress!! How fascinating,I hope you obtain some more information on possibilities of who it might have been !Lori
Let me know what your daughter thinks! I am hoping the same! We are relying on the local community to some extent! We enjoyed making the video, it was a but different to our normal walk video! Sarah :)
Just come across your interesting video Sarah, the image of the man in what I believe is a trilby hat and modern day clothes ( my father wore one all his life ) rather than a shipwrecked ancient mariner, it looks very mysterious indeed though, I have had one or two encounters during my long life of unexplained phenomena, so wouldn’t dismiss this out of hand! plus seeing is believing! I enjoyed your video as always Sarah and Andrew, I recognised the church from the filming of ‘Poldark’ and my Son took photos of it when he visited some time ago, more memories for me to cherish, thank you Sarah and you Andrew for your inimitable sense of humour which you still retain to this day, bless you both “👌”
Looks a lovely church in a beautiful location, interesting photo,. I love anything to do with reputedly haunted places, especially with history behind them, enjoyed watching, all the best 👍
I kinda envy you! It's become really big over here and, dare I say it, quite commercialised, sweets, treats, loot bags, fancy dress, light up buckets, with nearly as many ads for Halloween as for Christmas! I am so glad our kids are older! Sarah :)
whenever i get door knockers i tell them im a trady working on the house (one smarty pants asked once ok ..wheres ya Van ) i told him my mate went and got Subway sandwich for lunch go aways im busy drillin holes ! hahahaa
If you want to go to a really creepy place then go to the Cober Valley Viaduct near Helston. It has a really creepy feel, as if you're being followed. I use to get that feeling there but not so much anymore. I put a video on ages ago of walking along the railway line and someone commented about their experience there. They also had the feeling of being followed and watched and also heard the sound of someone coughing right behind them, even though there was no one there. It's also been reported that a black figure has been seen on the viaduct. Further down the valley is a woods which is also said to be haunted.
To get there (because you won't find it on Google Maps!) you have to go down this lane www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.1207521,-5.2752777,3a,27.2y,42.86h,88.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s66oy_ziJ9wJl-ls4-IFemQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 You can drive down there and at the end there is an area for around 3 or 4 cars to park. From there, go up the lane and under the railway bridge. At the other side of the railway bridge go right and then go up the bank and on to the old railway line. Go left and go through some metal gates and you're on the viaduct. If you want a good view of it then at the other side of the railway bridge, go right and keep on going along a small path. It goes down a slight hill and you'll be right next to the viaduct. Be careful where you step if you go down there though because there's some unfenced mineshafts from Wheal Oak down there. Just make sure you stay away from them because they're quite unstable. There's a nice walk if you go through Lowertown and to the bottom of the hill by the River Cober and follow the lane by the river and over the stepping stones.
It reminded me of 'Goodnight sweetheart' so maybe first world war era, very fitting as this year commemorates the centenary of the end of that war👌🏻👻😁 TFS👍🏻
such a beautiful church & location. That hat is modern. My dad wore the same in the 50's & 60's. Also the shape looks out of proportion to the others in the photo. It looks too large. / I've loved that church since seeing it in Poldark & Doc Martin.
Hello, Just watched your video and the photo looks like it could be a coast guard wearing a Sou'wester, I've seen a similar person when I stayed a the coast guard cottage in mullion.
well im a ghost hunter ,and i would say that the man is of the 1800s,when mining was popular ,he may be a reverend of the church from that time ,,going by the clothing he has on .
I don't see bowler hat, I see a Stetson style, which would have been popular early to mid 20th century. My sense told me it was an older man, perhaps 50 to 90 in good shape. Wearing a stetson style hat and a light overcoat. Perhaps someone who did not want to leave, and enjoys the scene with others. A passed relative who accompanied them on their journey.
There is something going on with the brim of the hat. Is it. Reflecting light or is it the sea? If. It is the sea then the image looks a bit fake because there should be more vegetation around the rim of the hat,.though to be fair it might be operating at the limit of resolution
@@CornishWalkingTrails not sure about his Church attendances. All I can remember was the Farmhouse was in a remote part of Bodmin and Aunt Breony and Uncle Thorney had a lot of relics from the Wheel Jane mine, and there was an old disused water mill on the property and a saints well. I think the name of the place was Great Alstia (there was also a Little Alstia) It was over 60 years ago.
100% genuine. Thats whats so interesting about it. Give it to any expert that you can find and ask them to contact me id be interested to know what it is.
@@wozwoz-w3w I think your photo is fascinating, Warren. We have a lot of 'activity' in our house so I definitely believe that there are mysteries we can't explain, if I can put it that way. And often these experiences happen when we least expect it and we're just going about our daily business!
Thank you it was a great video. I will forward this onto family and friends 😊
Glad you liked it! We spent a bit of time trying to get it right and we are pleased with the final result! Sarah :)
Warren smith it Richard it very very interested pictures of the ghost
@@CornishWalkingTrails I am very very interested in ghost over 25 year like the pictures

We wondered if the Poldark team had any anomalies from their visits to the cove, filming. Sarah :)
Very strange, but spooky. You are warming us up for Halloween.
You got it! Sarah ;)
interesting video. and these figures caught on photos is always a mystery.
Very interesting!!

@@CornishWalkingTrails very true Sarah 🤗

Thanks and i am really glad you enjoyed it! We loved exploring the story and I think we will do some more in time ... Sarah :)
another great episode thats Sarah and Andrew kind'a Halloween feelin there ha?
published a bit early to coincide with half term, hoping for a few extra views from the visitors! Sarah :)
we kind of dont see much oh Halloween in Melbourne it hasnt kicked off here ..some shops have decorations but its not heard of much in Australia
I kinda envy you! It's become really big over here and, dare I say it, quite commercialised, sweets, treats, loot bags, fancy dress, light up buckets, with nearly as many ads for Halloween as for Christmas! I am so glad our kids are older! Sarah :)
last year only had 1 kid walking around all day knocking on doors but i told him sorry i dont speak English :))
whenever i get door knockers i tell them im a trady working on the house (one smarty pants asked once ok ..wheres ya Van ) i told him my mate went and got Subway sandwich for lunch go aways im busy drillin holes ! hahahaa

He looks like a ghost gangster 😂
ooooo thats spooky maybe it was jeepers creepers every 28 years for 28 days it gets too feed its certainly the same shape nice one love a ghost
It reminded me of 'Goodnight sweetheart' so maybe first world war era, very fitting as this year commemorates the centenary of the end of that war👌🏻👻😁 TFS👍🏻
Could be right about that era! Perhaps he died tragically during the Great War and came back home. Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails or maybe it was someone from the family who were in the photo, letting them know they were there sharing family memories 👌🏻🤔
Good stuff thumbs up.
Thanks 👍
Thank you ❤

Great capture guys.

Hello,
Just watched your video and the photo looks like it could be a coast guard wearing a Sou'wester, I've seen a similar person when I stayed a the coast guard cottage in mullion.
Oh Wow! If you mean as a shadow figure, that sounds really interesting! Love a good ghost story! Sarah :)
How tall. Would the shadow figure be? Figure looks a bit big, a bit too large, like in that maurice gross ghost photo of that lady in the Austrian pub
hmm a bit spooky guys
*😇you got a like👍👍AU 👫🔍full view🔎*
4.20 DO YOU FEEL AS IF YOUR BEING WATCHED?
YES BY ME ON TH-cam!
Ha! Ha! LOL! Sarah :)
I'd like to see some photos taken before and after this one, in the same spot or same direction

Its genuine, my brother took the photo.
Could be a Cornish tin miners hat
A pith helmet ?
That is creepy
That figure looks like my Uncle Thorney. He was from nr St. Just.
I would have dated it to the Edwardian era.
That's really interesting. I wonder, did your uncle Thorney enjoy going to Church Cove? Or was he buried there? Sarah :)

It was over 60 years ago.
Looks like Hatman.. Google him
Whooooooo spooky! Just in time for Halloween!
Indeed! Sarah :)
Could be a funeral hat
Humm not convinced with this
It's real, I promise!
BOO!
Looks to me like the kind of hat a peasent/farmer would wear...it also looks like the "ghost" is smoking a pipe !
hehe The opening line
"Cornish Haunting Trails" could be a sister channel - there are so many stories down here! Sarah :)
