How do Jay. I can confirm how haunted that area is. As a kid, myself and several mates camped up there near the little fishing lake in our tents. Back then there were stories of the "Picker Pickers" The ghosts of the miners who walked the woods. The mist is real. Its like a movie mist that clings to the floor and the night we camped we heard the noise of horses and voices echoing through the woods. To say we pooped ourselves was putting it mildly and many of us took up 22 air rifles- though what use they'd be against a ghost is anyone's guess lol. Lets just say 40 years later I still remember and never camped up there again. Theres something supernatural up there for sure. The old mine shaft which used to have a cage from round it gave weird noises at night. Theres another story about the mine disaster. My Dad's Uncle Ralfe was the game keeper for Squire Houlton for many years and lived in the lodge near the gates on Newbrook road. but before that he was a seam fireman/saftety officer at gib field pit. when pretoria exploded, its said that they got every body out but Uncle Ralfe told otherwise. The explosion was so extreme that the miners were literally blown to pieces and they would take pieces out and the families would have closed coffins.Anyhow, when Ralfe was at Gib field they were digging a new seam when suddenly it broke into another shaft which was belonging to Pretoria. the miners found 22+ rotted bodies in the old shaft and ralfe reported it to the mine bosses. They instructed him and the miners to seal the shalf and seam and block it off and never speak of it again. The thinking being that every family that lost someone had had their funeral and so it wouldnt to to raise old upsets and cause distress to surviving familes. To this date there are 22+ pretoria miners still in a shaft down there. great video, Buddy and kudos to you for even thinking of camping up there. bessy regs- Kenny

I am male, 78 and still very curious. Never too old.

First video of yours I've come across, but am glad you eventualy listened on your gut feeling. Always trust it & stay safe!

The names on the wall, several from the same family, breaks your heart😢

You should hit Grizzly Gaz up and to a collaborative camping/paranormal adventure

I’m so glad you decided not to camp, not a nice place at all to be alone.

Here in the UK solo camping isn't a good idea, especially in semi urban areas. From things I've seen and read alot of homeless take up in places like this and can become defensive of "their" land. They were making themselves known to you by making the sounds to scare you away.

New to your channel and I subscribed. So glad you decided to leave those woods, people can be more terrifying than Spirits! I’m also a fan of G.Gazz and I remember that he has mentioned you. Have you been in one of his videos? Watching from the US….Georgia. Enjoyed your video!!

You kept saying "I don't know what to do". Here is what you do - move into a thicker more dense area and find a spot to hole up and just duck in. Don't set up anything, just keep watch for an hour or two and see who comes thru, and if there is someone following you they will be looking around for you.

Reminder set looking forward to this

Hi Jay! KZfaq’s algorithm brought me to your channel 😊. I’m so glad you went with your instincts to not camp there. Like you said, it’s not the spirits that you worry about, it’s the random people who are the scariest. Looking forward to more of your videos. 👍👻

This was directly behind my house growing up, I used to walk both dogs alone down there

I applaud you going back to still do the paranormal part!! Don't worry about the camping part! Thank you!!❤❤❤❤❤

Nice one j, love the background history. X

My first video I've watched of yours Jay. You seem an authentic guy, and not trying to glamorise or exagorate things. I'm mixed feelings, as i objectively didn't observe anything outstanding, and don't trust technology; yet equally do believe in paranormal activity. The mind is super powerful when we're alone and fearful. So things could be perception, especially as you have historical knowledge of the location. I'm not denying your intent, nor how genuine you are; just objectively not overly impressed. I think you were wise to trust your intuition not to camp out with the physical presence of the people there. You are a brave man.

Appreciate the effort it takes to make content! Great videos, keep going!

Ah nice memorial to the miners,i come from a mining village in Scotland. The old bing is behind our house now a nature reserve but i think it be very haunted.

Great job, great edits and pacing. I am a fan. Keep up the great work! cheers Neal shelton

Awesome video Jay. Thank you ☺️

Great video Jay but glad you got out of there safely xx

First time I’ve caught your channel, no coincidence.. Check out the Cadder Pit Disaster in Glasgow, 1913. Virtually indentical wooded landscape, same vibe. As for people in the woods? Happens all the time, usually if you leave them alone they’ll leave you alone. However, when you’re hiking or wandering be prepared to be assertive if required. When I enter the woods, I’ll pick up a thick piece of wood, walking stick and great for defensive purposes. Take care out there. ☘️💪

I am so so pleased I have only just found your channel. I am enjoying the content and you are a lovely chap . ❤

I have nothing but admiration and respect for you. Like that you wasn't at all cocky and trying to act macho but instead was open, honest and showed vulnerability. Also, the fact you took the risk of going back, just to stick to your word to produce a video for us is epic. I appreciate both you and your efforts, really enjoyed the video! Never knew about this disaster so was cool to learn some history so thank you! And fair play to you leaving after the first visit, always listen to your instinct. Liked, subscribed, looking forward to future content. Stay safe, big love 🙏🏻

Super excited for this, it feels like ages since last video xx

I might miss the live chat Jay but I’m defo watching. Cheers mate.

This was setting my anxiety of I'm so glad your safe very creepy

Great video, new follower. My dad has this little trolley for all his camping stuff - think it was just a fishing one. Worked wonders 😊

It's built into us for a reason.... If you don't feel safe, LEAVE. Those are the BEST stories, in my opinion. I went camping, didn't feel right in the area, I chose somewhere else, the end. Had a good time, and stayed safe.

Just subscribed after coming across this, looking forward to watching.

Love the walk and talk with some history. Stay safe.

Brilliant video jay you have got some bottle doing these things so we can watch them but remember there’s always a nutcase everywhere you go today so your better doing it with m and m always got someone to watch each other’s back

Hey mate great video dropping by with a like

Just subbed mate, over from tic tok. Great content

Your a lovely guy I really hope your channel grows and goes far ❤

Oh, one more thing--you had me scared for you through the whole thing!!!🥺

Man your brave i get spooked easily and used to go festivals when i was younger so was used to the dark fields etc i got more scared as i got older because i seen way too many ghosts /demonic vids etc i know the spirit world is real /Good luck keep safe x

Isn't it strange, as soon as it gets dark it is like the gates of hell have opened and you get all on edge. Know that feeling well lol

Another 1st timer on your channel...I definitely agree with the others re being more afraid of a livìng person than a dead one ... Definitely going to subscribe 🙌❤️🙏

Thank you for sharing the video we enjoyed watching the video, and I would like a request that you make a video of the most Haunted Hospital in the U.K., especially the Morgue. Here in the U.S.A., we have visited the most Haunted Hospital is Linda Vista, especially in the Morgue on the basement floor

Great video Jay, looking forward to when you visit cannock chase. I'd advise not to do it alone mate, gotta stay safe. I'm out there Saturday night looking for the black eyed children. I bought that sony camera today so moving up in the game lol. Looking forward to your next video 👍

Trust ur gut....No matter what you do, stay safe....ty ..for the videos..

Hi jay great vlog ... There were two men hideing behind a tree looking at you

Gotta new sub here liked the editing camera work great upload!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🇬🇧

Over the last few years. There are many homeless immigrants . That have made our woodland their home.Usually banding together.whichever nationality they are. They also Poach in our waterways. This isn't me. Calling them for the sake of it. As it's true what I say. Be safe out there.

If it doesn’t feel right don’t stay! Always follow your gut instinct.

Hi I'm new to your channel just want to say GREAT VIDEOS

NNOOO how the hell did I miss it. Gutted. I'll watch now. Sorry Jay x

Yes😮 it's the live ones you need to worry about 😊

Not the dead you should fear jay it definitely the living be safe ❤

Brave man I wouldn't camp on my own there if I was with u yes I would xx

I just subscribed, found you when watching mox channel. Yeah this was creepy, I felt nervous for you. I dont think its safe to go alone in this. Go with someone. Maybe camp out with mox. stay safe.

Always go with your gut! If you don’t feel safe, get out! x

What a beautiful area

Hi new sub...why are there birds chirping in the middle of the night? Creepy! Be safe!

They do get heavy 😊❤

That lake use to be called the big lake we fished it for years under Bolton anglers card 👍

Please guys hit that like and subscribe button ❤

Thanks

ALWAYS follow your instincts. They are never wrong. If it is not safe, it is not worth the risk, just to say you stayed in a haunted wood. There is always another day.

Hi im a new subscriber

1st Hi J, strange to see you without a winter jacket and seeing your breath!😅 2nd I know it's early but that forest looks lovely in the daytime. Not spooky at all. 3rd Do you know if the people in the town nearby ever have weird things happen to them?

Stay safe!

Fuck that mate, people are more of a threat than paranormal! I think it was a bad idea even going back! And when you did the paranormal stuff, you didn't give it your full attention because you were worried about the living.. next time, trust your gut and wait till you have some people with you. Better safe than sorry.

If I was you, I'd go with what my gut is saying.

Wow i said grizzlygaz then i watch farther along then i heard u say his name hes awesome dude

I agree with yoyr wife safety 1st hun, don't risk your safety for the sake of a vid. Please stay safe. ❤

Hi great video. Whats the machine that picks up the words called? Where did you get it? Thanks... im from Australia and just found your videos.

If you ever come to the South Coast and want a 'witch' to stick her oar in, bring a Ouija board alone and try and summon a few entities, just let me know! 😉

5 . 52 seconds you see someone in the far back ground looking at you check it out weird its straight after you say theres alot of paranormal activity round here

Always follow gut instinct way to vulnerable there it’s the living we need to worry about not the dead

I thought i heard them cracking wood your right dint stay alone

I’m about 30 minutes in so I don’t know if you stayed or left the forest. I just want to say that you always need to follow your gut!! I wouldn’t have stayed. Well, I would have never gone in the first place lol

Always follow your instinct ss

Are you sure it's not in your head. Chill out, have a rest somewhere dnt get tent out, just rest for a while, see how it goes

You should always go with your gut feeling its r survival mode that's is built in us from the beginning n no matter where u r there's always somebody else about ✌

Also, if I would hVe seen that lean-to I would have gone backwards and gone a good halfway back to find a nice place. You seemed to have gone a long way past the old shaft. Don't blame you if you didn't follow through on this one! I think others would agree.😮

It does make you wonder where all the water over the planet is disapearing to

No one would have to tell me twice to leave.

Is the nunnery still vacant in Leigh near lilfard park? Love it jay!

reflections deceive? the lake maybe? because the reflections can be seen in the water. and you did say about the white lady. its such a pretty but sad place, im wondering if going back on the date it happened would help? i do agree its not safe alone so pleaseeeee take someone others with you ! and yes now im going to say it lol OMG your nuts for going alone lol your safety is more important to us than a video !

Hey Jay. Hello. Great job u did. Hey did you see the, I donno, wat looks like a man standing at the front of the tree line. It's at 58:58. I saw him as u panned the camera. Just pause it at the timestamp and zoon in. And he will be right about in the center of the screen. He looks deformed or injured severely his right shoulder is way higher than the left one. Tc. Thx that was a good one. Bill

If you don't feel right stating then don't especially for our entertainment usually when something don't feel right that's because it's not right camp else where.

Camp with someone X

New sub came up on my feed probably because watch grizzly gaz😊
