Yep your correct on this remember watching a programme on this and I'm not from London

I believe they brought up the necropolis underground on an episode of qi

Brookwood railway station is still in use. It serves a British army camp.

Yep real. All The Stations Channel did an episode

@@josephdolman There was also one From Kings Cross to New Southgate cemetery. Ran from 1861 to 1873. Although it was in a cutting neither of them were actually underground. There are rumours of bodies being transported by underground trains from a hospital at Whitechapel. But there is no evidence to support the rumours. As the railways were private companies in those days there would be documents relating to the construction. as well as payments for the special trains and disposal of the bodies.

*wild bears...we were still breeding and importing bears until the 17th/18th century

The wild bear went extinct in Britain around the early medieval period between around 400AD and 600AD so it was around 1500yrs ago although they were still importing bears from the Continent and North America,(Canada) up until around the late 18th century. I do like people to whom know there stuff.

I think the beast isn't necessary a bear, more like a werewolf or some demonic creature

@@neilrendell5630 I think the point is, what are headless bears doing here?

@@neilrendell5630 the beast is a big cat. black leopard. I live on the moors and family have had sightings of the beast years back.

Whoop whoop Jimmy Carr is an absolute legend

I invite Jimmy Carr to my workplace, the building has been there since 1700s, there's 100% some shadow person walking around, multiple people see it at the same time, I've seen it at the same time as my boss, once an entire dining room full of students (around 30 people) all saw it

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Yeah, Jimmy's comment is funny (I can just picture him saying it) but I've worked in old buildings (two were over 500 years old), and while I personally never saw anything, I certainly picked up on atmospheres and knew or knew of people who had sightings. There's something, I don't know what it is but there's something that science can't explain yet. I hate when people say 'it can't be proved so it doesn't exist' - perhaps we just don't have the scientific knowledge yet to understand what's happening.

The beast of Bodmin Moor. Yep it exists. I used to live on the Moor My grandfather, who was a very level headed man, not one for fantasy or stories was out one evening at dusk walking the fields. Says he saw it. A very large cat like creature that walked from one end of our field to the other and then leaped over the hedge. Cornish hedges are about 8ft+. If anyone else has told this story I'd have instantly dismissed it. But not from my very straight laced grandfather

I also live in Cornwall and I remember seeing a photo of the so called beast in a newspaper.

my dad and close family friend have also seen the beast of bodmin. pretty sure they had a photo. lived on the edge of the moor all my life tho and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

And the squirrels of Sussex 🐿

And the hound of the Baskerville

"Chicken legs" (named by Scarborians) is a creepy ghost that patrols the graveyards in Scarborough UK. Its a tall black thin hooded figure (was 7ft tall at least) wraith like figure that has been spotted stalking pedestrians walking along the foot path adjacent the grave yard. It has been seen to hold a large dark sack in one hand and the other a knife like object. Its seen by eye witnesses behind behind graves in Scarborough and moves with frighteningly fast speed. Manor Road grave yard is its main haunt. Reports date way back of apparitions in the grave yard. Seen it myself once late at night. While walking home from town. Scaredthe hell out of me. Was about 16 years old at the time. (1986) I was walking across the road to the central island and noticed a woman walking along the footpath next to the graveyard. I then saw a dark figure raise from a nearby grave on the opposite side of the wall. I shouted to the woman to warn her. She turned around and saw the figure plain as day and ran to the Island in the middle of the road. She ran to the police station and within 10mins the police (3 patrol cars) were at Manor road grave yard. I stayed at the seen the entire time. The apparition slowly dipped below the back of the grave stone and their was a russling sound then silence. I had clear site nothing ran into night away from from the grave. The police arrived and checked the entire area. They found nothing. They stated this was not the first time this had happened and put it down to a drunk or kids having fun. I will never forget that night and i promise you it was not a kid or a drunk. The hairs on my back and the utter chill that came over me was real. I was frozen to the spot and could not move when alone waiting for the police to arrive. Somethings cannot be explained and that incident way back in 1986 made me change my opinion on ghosts and the supernatural. Not everything can be explained. Seeing this article today and hearing of " Spring healed Jack" was a shock. Was this what i saw? Not sure but it appears that its been going on for centuries rather than decades the similarities are astonishing. Just a different area of the country. Reports go back to 1837. I had no idea till today.

@@llamudos9809 That does sound somewhat similar, although Jack is always seen leaping, they certainly have the same kind of "presence". Maybe he is now a geriatric Jack with broken springs?

@@jamesleate I guess i may not have been so scared and potentially found it funny seeing a geriatric ghost with zimmer frame stalking the living. Many thanks firstly for mentioning the name leaping Jack. Was a very interesting link when i did a quick search.

@@jamesleate I love the spring heeled Jack stories

Interestingly enough, the Fizz Pop channel does some interesting vids on him regarding his possible influence on comic book characters. These are well worth a view.

Scary place. I lived in Coulsdon

I did the same at Bethlam Royal Hospital me and a couple of mates.....same thing got into the grounds and it was just not right something was off and I don't think we moved so fast !!

you were sober because you'd been running in the fresh air, you literally worked it out of your system

Why is there so many here from the Croydon area?? Madness! Anyhoo Cane Hill is now a housing estate. I know someone who lives there and she seems quite happy. Bethlam Hospital is still there and is still a mental hospital and still scary plus it is the place where we get the word “bedlam” from

My grandmother worked in Cane Hill for 20 years. It wasn't as bad as people think, although the mental health care was obviously nothing like it is today.

Except in zoos

Exactly

Used to get killed and used for the King/Queens guards hats. The last one slain had it's pelt left in Edinburgh Castle. We had Black Bears.

What makes it more weird is, Hackney is an Inner City Area, The marsh is just like a large open area but completely surrounded bu housing estates and closely packed streets, so if there was something there, surly more sightings would be reported.

That hellhound photo is clearly someone in a costume on all fours lol with a well placed bush hiding the lower legs sticking out behind them

"We kinda look alike" - I'm like, bro, you're even wearing the same style of clothing, in the same colours and EVERYTHING!😆

@@Tricia_K I really can’t move past this 😂 it’s the same god damn guy!!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Basically just a normal Scouse/Geordie bear...

How about Horse Viagra, be able to stand on all three legs. lol

Bears don’t even live here haha

@@Submarine_2010 'Cause the werewolves are them...

We don't HAVE any bears. Where did the dead ones come from?

Especially in Hungary

Yeah that's a great documentary and I believe every single bit of it :) I remember me and my friend were at Covent Garden and had to walk down the creepy spiral stairs as the lifts weren't working for some reason and I was telling her about the actor who was murdered and haunted the station. She nearly crapped herself!

@@lubilou64 Ha ha, good work.

@@timothydraper6626 I’m a great friend really ha! 😉

You could’ve ended that tale straight after, ‘we were watching Leeds.’

Lol 😂

Yes a lot of people in this toon just because of old buildings .and hotels that people get attracted too becaus of history and the most Nd well brain is a strange thing .if you looking for something you will see it it’s all in the head tbh .nothing has ever happened to anyone going to old places or hotels and they all fine stop making up stories it’s not cool and I’m from Scotland .and it’s more the living you need to fear not spirits 😢

@@stephendarcy9803 this comment just made my day you fucking legend

Wales?? Dammit, I thought that was an urban legend too...

@@rbarnett3200am I real? Who knows?

And if you’re Scottish you know about Blue Nun.

Yep. Me am Welsh. Black nun is a thing. Also, the Afanc. Fuck.

The train of the dead went overground too and went to a cemetery miles away. It was called the Necropolis Express and despite the spookiness here actually also carried grieving families.

Lol is he

*You're

Lmao omfg you're right he is 🤣🤣🤣

Haha I've always wanted to dress up in an old fashioned clothes and scare someone

🤣🤣🤣

Bodmin jail .Where is lady of the lake think went there with a school or youth club ?

Used to travel between bristol and dorset all the time, and tried every route across the mendips if M5/A37 was busy. Can get pretty desolate up there around Priddy. Feels like Dartmoor.

I don’t believe in the supernatural or urban legends ect. However for me there’s nowhere more eerie than Saddleworth Moor. Excluding Ian Brady’s shenanigans it’s just a depressing as hell area.

I would die of a heart attack 😂

A lot of building in the uk are over a 100 years old. A 100 year old building isn’t that old anyways

@@rachelrumsey5277 most are yes, thats why the whole of the rest of the world, europe and the uk are laughing there arses off, if there was a correlation between deaths and ghosts lots of the ww1 areas would be literal hell

Leicester has a few, even supposed to be a monk that haunts the Cathedral grounds to where Richard III was laid to rest, though this story was around long before he was found, if you see it, you are not long for this world.

Liverpool has purple aki. 😁

@@shathriel speaking of places with legendary cheese, the cheddar cheese making caves are reportedly one of the most haunted places in the world They are the wooky hole the final resting place of a supposed witch

I think it needs to be pointed out that Gaol is Jail, just the old English spelling..... just because a lot of people don't know that unless they live near a place with that name

@@CinobiteReacts Oh thankyou 👌🏻☺️

I have never been there, but one area of Okehampton Castle ruins felt not nice. I couldn't describe it, but it made me uneasy. But the story is that Lady Jane Grey Travels to the castle every night in a carriage made of her husbands bones and plucks a blade of grass. This will continue until the castle Hill is bare of grass.

@@rachelpenny5165 it must be that we're sensitive Rachel and can feel the residual energy. Xx

Auschwitz has a heavy atmosphere, the stuff made from human body parts, stolen personal items and thousands of photos of the dead and "medically" experimented upon for eugenic reasons.

Or the alnwick dirty bottles. A pub is famous for is the weird display in one of its windows - a quartet of ancient and filthy bottles on a crate. Ye Olde Cross pub actually closed down in the 2000s but when it reopened in late 2014, the pub was renamed after its long-standing local nickname - The Dirty Bottles. And naturally there is a strange tale behind this most odd window dressing. Over 200 years ago, in 1725, the innkeeper dropped dead of a heart attack after moving the bottles. According to the old tale, his wife proclaimed that anyone else doing so would likewise die. And so the bottles lay touched for years, gathering dust and cobwebs. At some point, the bottles were safely sealed away behind another interior window, but whether this was for historical purposes or to just to keep patrons with wandering hands safe from the curse I do not know. However it should come as no surprise that this old pub also boasts of having a ghost as well as a death curse. For allegedly the ghost of the unlucky landlord is reputed to still haunt the pub, reportedly rattling glasses and swearing at patrons.

Creeeeeeeeeeeeak......... Don't look behind you Bonnie!. 💀 Wooooooooo 👻

It was the biggest city in the world at that time and the blitz

Myself a week ago!

Hang on... that means we discovered it on the same day - spooky!🤔😱

Lol he's brilliant nice to see an American or anyone not from UK to want to learn about our little Britain Isles lol. I've watched most of his videos now when I'm off work seen as nothing else to do lol

@Joe Morton Quite right - but does JT know this? He said that Ireland was in the UK, hence my suggestion about the CGP Grey video.

@@alancook he already has

The london station still exists . They did open it up a while ago but cant remember name of it tho. Epping Is in ESSEX. Wot about the ghosts of blue bell hill maidstone kent?. Its apparently to do with the leyline that runs beside the road and the neolithic site kits coty. There was a car accident in 1960s and a girl killed shes always seen just about halloween. Even the police get calls from motorists who think theyve run someone over. Even people who dont know the legend have seen her and called police.

Planekrazy, love your Sir Henry image. I`m not sure even JT is ready for Rawlinson End though. X

Or Spring Heeled Jack?

@@scorch1968 No, winter made him very ill, but spring healed Jack.

Can beat that. My village has a Bronze Age burial. That’s pre Roman, plus there’s dozens of interesting shapes dotted all around probably foundations etc of earlier settlement.

What a John Bull. Walking through a graveyard probably late at night whilst being absolutely pissed? You've got balls of steel

The native Americans haven't been around for much longer. They just haven't changed as much as us.

@@daniellewis441 Clearly history isn’t your strongest subject! I stick to my original comment! “ Native Americans HAVE been around a lot longer than us Brits “

@@daniellewis441 The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in what is now the United States at least 20,000 years ago, from Asia via Beringia. It has only been continuous since about 12,000 years ago. The modern humans who appeared in Britain were highly adaptable hunter-gatherers. Their ability to innovate was different from all preceding species. So yeah, they’ve been around a lot longer than us Brits 😊

Spot on. The natives have been here way longer than the British. We've found skills of natives over 30,000 years old.

@@andrewboo1779 Yeah I seen a video on that a few months ago.

I was just thinking the bigger mystery is where someone got 2 bears from! 😅

@@nickyjones88 Right?! I heard a rumour about reintroducing grey wolves to try to manage the huge red deer population. Now that WOULD be scary!!

The real mystery to me is that the national animal of the United Kingdom is a Lion. Yet no Lions in the UK.

@@garethpendlebury7996 yeah I've heard that, up in Scotland, but a lot of people have come out and said it just won't work, even though these areas are still sparsely populated wolves have HUGE hunting grounds and would definitely come into contact with people. Can't imagine looking out the window one morning and seeing a wolf chilling in my back garden!!

@@garethpendlebury7996 We have wolves now and bears. The wolves are in a fenced off area and so are the bears in a forest in one of the large estates. The plan for the wolves at least is once the pack is breeding and strong enough is to remove the fence and then let them wander. The Bears are unlikely to ever get released but its a possibility. Wolves its also debateable but way more likely.

Yessss THIS! Or just any of the folklore beasts of Britain!

It's just Father Jack Hackett

That's what I thought, it's JT complete with beanie, beard and British accent!

Had so much fun playing in Pembroke castle as a child with my brother and cousins. Best place for sword fights. In those days you could access most of the castle, but I expect H&S has put a stop to that.

@@xhogun8578 I know what you mean. I grew up playing there and took my kids when they were younger. I even went on a ghost hunt after dark there it was brilliant! You can still access most of it. I think it’s the best one I’ve been to. But then I’m biased as I live in Pembroke 🤔

Pembroke castle is amazing. I used love visiting Carew Castle and the Mill as well.

@@xhogun8578 yeah that’s a lush place to walk round 💖
