Hi ,great video. You do fantastic work, hey I have a story for you. In 2012, my mom had a serious stroke. I was up to the hospital almost 24 hours a day. One day ,I decided to get a little sleep in the chair in my mom room while she was settled for a while . I awoke from a deep rest and saw an old nurse from 1940's going around my mom bed tucking her in. Then she came over to me and tried to settle me in the chair. The funny thing was that she looked like she was moving, like when you speed up a film you been watching.. She was moving so fast, but I could still make out what she was doing. I wasn't scared, just shocked! This hospital , my mom ,was in dated back to the First World War . I think she was a nun working as a nurse because the nuns ran the hospital back in the day. I never forget that experience. My mom died in 2015, and I miss her every day ❤

Oh wow and thank you ever so much for sharing your story about your mum and what seems like a haunted hospital. That is so interesting about the nurse moving around. What a kind soul the nurse must have been. I am sure you miss your wonderful mum. 💕 Do you know if the hospital is said to be haunted? 👻🙏🙋‍♀️

@heidikersey7280 3 ай бұрын

Yes, it's in London Ontario and all the all three hospitals are very haunted. When I used to take a break from looking after, mom I used to sit in the waiting room. I be sitting there just in a daze from my mom's condition, and all of a sudden, I see half of a body walking down the hall! If you sit in the emergency department long enough , I guarantee you see spirits walking around the emergency!! Strange but true😮.

@ericanelson1973 Ай бұрын

The nurse in the old fashioned uniform sounds like the spirit that is called "La Planchada" (the Ironed One). A visit from this specter is usually followed by an unexplainable improvement in the patient's condition. Did the ghost nurse have such an effect on your mother's health?

I've actually stayed at the Pied Bull. It's a beautiful old pub and well worth a stay. Can't say that I saw anything, but the floor boards are very creaky, and the corridors are very narrow. You can tell that it's an old building. We actually went up that old staircase to our room it's a bit shaky and creaky. The food is very good too. I sound like I'm a travel agent or something.

Oooh, well, well worth the wait for this one. I live in North Wales, though very near Chester. I used to help my mother to do her Christmas shopping there many years ago. I used to meet a friend of mine for a drink in The Pied Bull back in the 80s' as well. It all feels very local to me. I went to Chester a few months ago after a long spell and had lunch with my girlfriend in the Bull & Stirrup. Seeing Chester now, and through your guidance, makes it all very different.

@@ghostcasebook1266 No idea about the Anglesey murder, though do have a ghost story for you. It was a ghost seen by my father during wartime, coming home on Leave. He was given a lift from a postman who was picking up mail from Crewe and driving into North Wales. The postman was not allowed to pick anyone up, but it was wartime and there were three soldiers wishing to get home to see family. The van may have gone about ten miles. Suddenly there was a white figure at the side of the road. The postman didn't even slow down. The white figure, which was semi-transparent, clung to the side of the van and stayed there for a few miles. It then vanished. The soldiers were a bit spooked, but the postman said he saw the figure often on that run and that it always got a lift at the same spot. I heard other people saying they'd seen it, but the road has altered since then and got a lot busier. Sightings have dropped off since then.

I remember primary school trips to Chester to learn about the Romans. This would have been in 1964. We were told about Dr. Haygarth and his fight against disease. We were very proud of such men back then. Do you have to put up a warning about infant mortality? It's a cruel fact of life even in 2024. Anyway, it was nice to see Chester again. The old airfield at Sealand is supposedly haunted but it's not technically in Chester.

@alexcarter2542 3 ай бұрын

@@ghostcasebook1266 Yes indeed dear Nicola, the penitentiary in Mansfield is reputedly one of the most haunted and chilling locales in the country nevermind the state itself. But actually, I have an even better tip for you. You must go down to southern Ohio where I spent my freshman year of uni in a little town called Athens. This is where the state asylum was and still is, and while it no longer functions as it once did, it has NOT been abandoned and has been taken care of remarkably well. There was a land-swap sometime several decades ago with the state and the university and the university to this day owns the property and maintains its upkeep. The building is enormous and absolutely beautiful. The university has done an incredible job maintaining its originally-intended "look," if you will, and everyone loves to go see it. It's actually well-used by the university too, though I'm not exactly sure how. I know there are offices in there but I'm not sure what else. For some reason my brain tells me the property also hosts some kind of art... stuff, lol. Maybe do some research on it. It really is a must-see though. I must say, the photos available online don't do it much justice. It's one of those things one must go and see. There was an old TB ward on its campus for years and years that was of course reputed to be the most haunted of all structures on the property. On Halloween every year, we students would make the couple mile hike up to "the Ridges," as we called it, and dare each other to get closer and closer to the structure before someone jumped out from behind a terrace wall or something and gave everyone a heart attack, lol! That building was actually the pride and joy of the complex at least architecturally, though it was torn down at some point in the last decade with excuses made about students breaking into it and it being an unsafe building, etc. We're such a litigious society over here, you know, that we don't allow our future generations the same thrills we enjoyed as youngsters in the name of, "safety." May as well be true but stinks of the kill-joy nature of authority, if you ask me, lol. Besides, if I'm being absolutely truthful, even as youngsters we comprehended that the building was a special place, and we were very protective over it. There was almost always a group of students keeping an eye on the structure and its visitors and anyone who had a mind to cause any damage to the structure was immediately and sternly warned not to, and quickly thought better of it. And as I recall, most of the people we ended up running off the property ended up being either high school kids from the town of Athens, or various boozers and addicts attempting to squat. I don't think I can remember a single time we ever caught an actual student of the university causing damage to the place. We loved it and took good care of it. It really is a shame it's gone now. Athens' Halloween party is famous country-wide (seriously, lol, kids from other schools all over the country used to drive in just for the Halloween party) and it's hard to imagine the party now without that old beauty. I certainly hope you get to see the rest of the grounds one day, Nicola. If you want to do some Google searching, try, "the Ridges, Athens, OH," or, "Athens Lunatic Asylum."

I lived just outside Chester but my dads grandma lived in Gorse Stacks and other family members in and around Chester. I worked at Browns of Chester (Debenhams) a rambling building from Roman round to Tudor mazes of back passages. Then to the at the Post Office in St John St. which has gone but was creepy

I love how these stories focus in, some background on the area for the yanks, then in for the ghost appearances and behavior, along with possible explanations thereof, views of places where things actually happened, little side stories, and then some details and ephemera such as minus and postcards and ticket stubs. It's a charming journey with ghosts in the middle!

Another fabulous video! And a staggering amount of work finding all the wonderful and varied imagery, thank you so much. I don't doubt the ghost sightings are real. I've never seen one, but many people close to me have. While I would love to have seen a ghost, whenever it's seemed likely I've been too scared to look. But I heard one for many years without realizing that's what it was. When I learned it was a ghost, I never heard it again. I wish that soldier was reunited with his uniform. Stranger things have happened, and I'm sure when they do you'll make a video of them.

Head cheese is just the meat from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes sheep). It is simmered for a long time and ends up becoming gelatinous naturally (probably from collagen). It is then cooled and used as a sandwich spread, or served cold and sliced. Often it is served in aspic, a sort of jelly, with other savory items. Head cheese and brawn are the same thing. They call it brawn when it is combined with spices and herbs then aspic and put into a mold and chilled. Nowadays, head cheese is seen more as a lunch meat that can be found at your local delicatessen. There is no organ meat in head cheese or brawn. No eyeballs, ears, tongue or brain are ever used. It's just face meat, usually quite tender and Victorians loved it. I love your videos! They are so well researched with perfect narration. Thank you!

@ghostcasebook1266 26 күн бұрын

Thank you kindly Sarah. Head cheese really does sound dreadful to me and thank you for your explanation. That’s kind of you to take your time to do this and I am sure it was very much a hit with the Victorians! Glad you enjoyed the video for sure and thank you! 👻🙋‍♀️🙏
