1973: The GHOSTS of the Black Lake | Nationwide | BBC Archive

[@jasonayres]

The secondhand stories, the yarns about the "ghosts" of Black Lake don't move me at all. The story, in the middle of the video, that I was surprised to see, *that* was what caught me off guard. Children retrieving damaged, old parts from the fallen aircraft, and the man - then, just a boy - being exposed to the bloated corpse of the drowned airman. That was disturbing.

[@jasonayres]

Yeah. Astonishing. The adult's objective appeared to be showing the people around him the trophy (?) of the Iron Cross on the dead airman. Something another adult could comprehend, in the time of war. Not a boy, though. Poor fella.

Why are ghosts such bad liars? Because you can see right through 'em. Ah-thankyou... (Walks off stage to sound of own footsteps).

Badum tss 🥁

That's almost as bad as "What's the one animal you never want to play cards with?" A cheetah. 🤪

For a few seconds, at the start, I thought the narration was by Richard Ayoade!

Ha ha I came here to say this! 😂

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

Spirits of those crewmen and pilots are still there

[@blastfromthepast-o1d]

4:40 Ahh, the old "Have you ever seen an Iron Cross?" ruse. Makes a change from "Want to see some puppies."

[@andrewst9797]

I'm sure your pal had a funny tale to tell at the pub that night

[@Scrapper.]

These days the Black Lake has a gift shop and a McDonald's........Nah, just joking. This is great. Respect from Ireland.

1973: The GHOSTS of the Black Lake | Nationwide | BBC Archive 1006am 120.11.24 i have often wondered how these lakes or pools, obviously residual remnant of a quarrying or mining environment, become stocked with fish - bearing in mind no one has personally been there to stock said pool with fish etc...

[@NoosaHeads]

159 feet deep.

[@MrMHughes68]

Haha

[@hopj591]

We have alot of these stories in Wales about ghosts.

[@Alison-LoveAndUnity]

The RAF soldier showing the young boys a damaged and distorted dead body for 'fun' ... 🙄😲 What a nice man huh

[@johnhudson9167]

Othering the fish 😂

[@bid84]

Did you hear about the gay ghost? He puts the willies up you

[@coreydolan3239]

Auditory illusions, nothing more. Of course, people will still continue believing in ghosts, and other childish nonsense.

[@Reece-3601]

It's the same with understanding God; if you're not looking, you'll NEVER see

[@conrad6226]

​@@Reece-3601tell the children in cancer wards to have "have a look" you fool.

[@conrad6226]

You're exactly right, never ceases to amaze me the bollocks people believe in. Funny how nearly everyone has a camera in their pocket and there has not been a shred of evidence. Idiots.

[@Chillmax]

Of course it's all nonsense, until, it happens to you!
