Thank you. Yes, it's a fascinating story. I'd love to know what that village under water looks like now.

@@CuriousWorldProductions so this was late 1800’s? I don’t think I caught the exact date. Great stuff, thanks!

Thanks very much, Paul.

Yes

ZERO CAP

@@CuriousWorldProductions We love to hear more stories from you, sir. All the best to you.

Most definitely

??

You have a beautiful 🐈 cat, on your pic.

Im confused here. Why is MY COMMENT for a totally different channel hear? And with the name of someone else's ? Is my computer hacked?

Too much porn hub bub

But she did get home, according to her mum. Shes now forever in her bathroom . Which is underwater. Very sad

Exactly. Imagine she dies in that moat, but unable to process it or perhaps in denial, her spirit remains and can only think of getting home, where she will be safe. Maybe her psyche is broken and remains trying to get home.

look up 5 unexplained british mysteries by unexplained mysteries here on youtube. Talks about the black cat of england

Michael L thanks, I think I may have watched that and commented. I was a member of the British Big Cat Society as a younger man and collated some amazing first hand accounts of Puma with cubs, Lynx with cubs and some pretty intense encounters with the melanistic leopard types. I believe we have had an incredibly elusive large black cat present here for at least the last 800-1000 years, due to the black dog accounts being much more feline in their behaviour. All the best. Peace

Thanks for the contributions, Dan. We are lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I remember stories of large black cats going back to my childhood.

it’s all down to the prodigious amount of weed people are smoking around there 😁

Love passing chew Valley lake on my way to Weston Super Mud. ..

Glad you enjoyed

I understand what you are saying but when my kids are stressed I always leave them to calm down and then come to me x we know that it probably wasnt her but her ghost anyway 😥🙏may she RIP xx

Yeah, and knowing all too well what went on in those days, I have to also wonder why the poor girl refused to go home until well after dark. That was not a good era in which to be a woman or a child... :(

Thanks, Lamron.

David Cusack and me I regularly visit the malt and salt it’s gert lush

ZUMMERZET. ..

It was fun, but took a while.

Hello fellow kiwi. From Wellington nz. A paranormal lover!!

Hello from Manchester England

Lee Husher hhahaha chicken

Funny but real is that it's the same whether is day or night. After Dark is an ancient primal fear back when humans were hunted by animals before gaining the knowledge of weapons.

Why, is it creepy? Something about it? Do you fish after dark at other places? Just curious. There ARE places creepier after dark than others.

Wolfchacer01 Yeah. We can’t get rid of that. It’s ingrained. It’s hard to imagine with lighting, but true. Even with weapons, we still get the heebie geebies in the woods.

Go skinny dipping be a rebel!

Thanks, Cindy.

I'm glad that I'm coherent. Sometimes I wonder. 😅

How is it creepy I live right near it it’s just a lake and a chippy

Thanks, Shona. Appreciate it.

Thanks, Nick. I thought you'd appreciate this old tale. Always good to read your feedback.

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

I have a signed copy of that book too! Although I only purchased it for this video's research. No, I don't think I ever used the Ghotsts UK site before. Thanks for the support and the kind words.

@@CuriousWorldProductions I only mentioned GUK because I recall reading quite an in depth thread there about this case. It was considered a very significant sighting because of the multiple, isolated witnesses. It was actually reading that long post which led to my buying the book! There was an Aussie faux docu-drama called 'Lake Mungo' which came out about a decade ago that covered some of the same ground and I always wondered if the screen writer had read about the event as well. Sadly GUK is now long gone but I believe the ghost-hunting outfit behind it may well still be around. For myself I have never really bought in to all the cargo-cult science of emf meters and the like, but there were some really dedicated and good people on the board and in the company. Anyway, looking forward to the next upload as ever.

@@morelenmir I've never met anyone who has heard of, let alone seen Lake Mungo. It's a great ghost story! I love that movie.

@@CuriousWorldProductions Yup!!! The atmosphere is intense and the staging _really_ works. When I first saw the film; at the point where the bereaved mother recounts how the dripping wet apparition of her daughter came to her, stood at the bottom of the bed screaming I immediately thought of the Chew lake sightings. The final twist with the supposedly debunked photographs was just *class* as well!!! I am a very big fan of the docu-drama variant of found-footage, it reminds me of 'GhostWatch'.

Thank you, Kim.

Thank you for your support over the last few years, Fruitbat. It's very much appreciated.

Celia Lovett i am so fascinated by this! Can u tell a few?

There are no such things as ghosts

Thanks Todd, I'm glad you and so many others liked it. A friend of mine shot the drone footage, so I can't take credit for that.

Thanks, Mary.

Wow, when was this?

@@CuriousWorldProductions It was the lighthouse at Wind Mill Point on Lake Champlain across from Rouses Point NY, now privately owned. It was built in the 1830's. It had to have been in the 1910ish period. The lighthouse itself was haunted being built as it was atop an Indian burial ground and the site of many a slain captive by the tribes of the Great Lakes against their foes the Iroquois. Indians of the period were cannibalistic a fact not commonly known. The Grand Parents that tended the Lighthouse raised 5 girls and 5 boys on the site. One day an adventurous young girl among them, while playing on the shore, discovered a human skull protruding from the sand and brought it home much to the horror of her screaming mother. The border on Lake Champlain between NY and Canada is rife with odd occurrences. My wife having been raised there has her fair share and as we as a family lived there a one point also have out collective stories. Interested?

@@babyrazor6887 Very much. You should start your own channel with storytelling like that. I'll look at the history, I've never heard of it before. Thank you.

@@CuriousWorldProductions I'm 72 now, my wife is 66 and at this time in life we don't have time to BS people so the stories we'll relate to you are all legit. 1.) When my wife was 6 years old her parents and younger brother went on a picnic on the shores of Lake Champlain. The young girl walked onto a short dock and gazed into the lake. As she turned and started to walk away she heard a noise behind her. Turning she saw what appeared to be two small web like hands at the end of the dock. As she watched a small black head with gills appeared. This is where she screamed and ran back to her nearby family. She told her parents what she had seen and her father went to investigate. There was no creature to be seen however at the end of the dock where two wet spots the size of a childs hand. My wife relates that even years after the event she recalls her father relating the story to he's fishing friends who didn't seem surprised by the story at all and often recounted stories of their own. My wifes mother, who was an excellent swimmer and would on occasion swim the width of the lake and back never swam in the lake again and forbid her children to do so as well. 2.) My wife was a teen living in Rouses Point NY. Behind the house were railroad tracks that ran all the way down to and past the S.A.C. base in Plattsburg. One day she was in the kitchen doing the dishes and glancing out the back window. Suddenly, over the tracks, about 10' above, slowly, quietly, gliding by her window came a classic saucer shaped UFO. It was small and seemed to be following the tracks. She hurried outside to see more but the craft was gone. My wife concluded that it coming from the direction of the S.A.C. base was no coincidence. She described it as silver with no apparent windows or lights as such and soundless. Personally I don't care if you believe these two stories or not. I can only state that my wife is a meat and potatoes kind of girl that doesn't take to fabrications. On my next day off I'll type you a few more. You might want to contact the Plattsburg Free Press and see if somewhere in their archives is a photo they published in the 50's or early 60's of a sturgeon caught in Lake Champlain it was so large the in the photo they show it suspended by a crane.

Thank you. There's a real split with my subscribers. Some people hate these videos and enjoy the crime videos.

Curious World I like them all, keep 'em coming!

Thanks John. That's over 10%, which isn't bad as things go.

Also, the missing daughter having turned up, wouldn't the distraught mother have grabbed and hugged her - or at least touched her on the arm or shoulder? And found that she was either real, or a phantom?

Late, but how could she have contacted the searchers? There were no mobile phones at the time. She would have had to go out, in the dark, and search for the searchers, who could have been anywhere since she'd last seen them, leaving her presumably in-shock daughter alone in the house while she did so. I don't think that would have been feasible. Waiting for them to return for the night probably would be more sensible.

Not long until the next one. Thanks for watching.

Sorry Drew, I try not to string it out. Thanks for watching.

I knew this comment would come before I even uploaded the video.

Lol! 😆

I'd b in an accident, my first day there 😂 🤪.

What did you see?

@@Utubesanarc I was renting a property in Clovens Road, Fortuneswell, Portland (UK), and saw what can be best described as a "man" looking very similar to the cloaked figure that used to be on the Sandemans Port label. Whatever it was, moved across the fairly small kitchen area and through a wall (where a door used to be decades ago). This was definitely not a "corner of the eye" mis-identification - I was able to look straight at whatever this was for a good 10 - 12 seconds, and, as said above, I later found out that my apparition was fairly well known, having been seen around the Clovens Road area by many people over the years. The locals told me "he" was one of a number of apparitions, all seamen, all lost at sea over a period of years. The house across the road from mine was "home" to an entire ghostly family (who were killed in the early 1800's as a result of a house fire). Again, many had reported seeing the family, or at least family members.

I haven't forgotten this story, Phil. May I use it in a future video?

@@CuriousWorldProductions Absolutely no problem! It would be interesting if you might apply your considerable research skills to the Portland area as a whole - there seems to be a lot of spiritual / paranormal activity there (for example HMP Verne had many reports of ghostly goings-on in and near the old stables). Dorchester is a bit of a paranormal hot-bed too (not surprising seeing the history - HMP Dorchester was Judge Jefferies' "hanging Prison" after all and there are plenty of tales of hauntings in the tunnel that used to lead from the Tea Rooms to the Prison - the final journey for many accused and "convicted").

@@phils4634 You've certainly sold it.

My sister's grandad when he was young with his friend found a man hanging from a tree and when they returned with a policeman there was nothing there. In horse and carriage days a large part of that area was woodland that merchants would have to pass through, so highwaymen style crimes were common, the dower house itself is interesting it used to be a mental asylum

Those caves were never at any time used to house slaves. People have desperately tried to 'prove' that slaves were kept at all sorts of places in Bristol in the 1700s and before, but it is all just fantasy. If you are referring to Redcliff caves, they are mines.

I thought about doing a dedicated Bristol anthology video, but I prefer to do videos on dedicated cases when they're so local to me.

I was thinking the same thing.

@@Useaname Then again if she tripped and hit her head and was unconcious it could be accidental, just seemed suspicious to me ;)

And most couldn’t swim back then. We take for granted that skill now, when it wasn’t taught unless you were maybe in the military...plus add all the layers women had to wear. Skirt, crinoline, corset(wouldn’t be able to properly breathe),and cloak all made of wool... I’m not saying foul play wasn’t involved but it’s still possible she drowned on her own.

@@nekograce7914 Maybe but people especially Women in those days weren't keen to just wade into a body of water fully clothed for any reasons. Also this was a creek and those typically are less than 2 feet deep which to me screams foul play unless she just decided to lay down and drown, however instincts kick in and she would have failed, drowning yourself is not easy at all unless you take very specific steps to do so which aren't accounted for here.

Thanks. It's nice to hear someone trying to explain ghosts and the various types, instead of just scoffing at the notion. My mum heard an entire roman army march past her one night when she was hanging out washing in the garden. She described the sound of nailed boots on cobbles, metal clanking, coughing, chattering, and hearing the same phrase over and over so she was able to memorise it. My brother who was pretty smart, identified the phrase as Latin, the phrase being roughly translated as "keep in order", I think. He researched the area and found out than an old Roman Road ran right past the other side of the wall at the bottom of the garden. This was about 1970 at a place called Winklebury outside Basingstoke in Hampshire. There's an estate now where the house used to be, as Basingstoke has expanded and the area is now a suburb. But one of the roads on the estate is called Winklebury drive, or street. Something like that.
