As a Pomeroy family member I thank you for your detailed and thoughtful video!

Decades is extremely underrated.

Me and my family used to go here every year it was like a tradition. one time I was standing upstairs in the gatehouse area with my mum and we felt this weird chill/rush come over the room, not like physical cold or wind but just like the vibe changed yknow? bear in mind this was a hot sunny day in midsummer. Then we heard footsteps clear as day coming up the stairs (pretty sure it was the same stairs you're standing on at 10:03) me totally unphased by this went to check it out but there was no one there and no one in the little dungeon room downstairs either. I really thought it was just another tourist. I don't even believe in ghosts (shaniac gang) but it was weird. The woods surrounding the castle are pretty creepy too, the whole time we were there I felt like there was someone walking behind us, prob just a fox or something but still spooky! It's a neat place, I wanna go back cos I haven't been since before covid. and you're right the hot chocolate in the cafe is lit👌👌 Great video!!

[@Fizhy]

Thank you! Yeah it’s quite an ominous spot, I wouldn’t enjoy being here at night but I kind of fancy doing that sometime whenever I’m back in Devon. Just patrolling the grounds and seeing what the crack is

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffcampbell1555]

You guys did such a good job with this--I liked, subscribed and hit the bell before I could think twice about it. Since I swore off new subscriptions just last week, I'm thinking you embed mind control in your vids, or the Blue Lady's malevolent powers upload electronically. Either way...brilliant!

[@DecadesVideos]

Best form of mind control in the realm of content creation is simply loving what you do. Thanks for joining us on this journey!

[@catfishvodka6668]

On a late night trip to berry pomeroy me and my girlfriend saw a floating red or above the tree line near the swamp are below the castle. Second before we saw it out very obedient dog bolted off and wouldn't listen to our calls which hasn't happened before or since. I don't really believe in ghosts and what not and am very skeptical in general but to this day I don't know what it was but it freaked me right out. I even investigated all around where we saw it, no lights, no roads, nothing in the sky, nothing that couldn't have been off in the distance to mistake. It was just a red or floating above the trees and seemingly not at a consistent speed. Before anyone says, no it's wasn't the tail light of a plane in the sky. It was a few feet above the trees. I heard tell of someone else who said they actually saw a red orb close to the ground on the trail leading to the castle, upon getting seeing it claimed it chased her through the woods. I can't verify this story though.

[@DecadesVideos]

That's interesting for sure, Berry Pomeroy Castle has an ethos of mystery surrounding it definitely. Many people report strange occurences here.

My cousin use to work there as a tour guide Meliane Corbett.

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

I went to the castle many years ago, I read up on it beforehand, when I arrived there it did give me a creepy feeling, especially THAT tower. The only creepy thing that happened was the lights going out whilst I was in the toilet cubicle! The lighting had a timer? 😂 That Margaret Tower though 😱. Spookily enough though I met a lady in 2017 who told me she had visited the castle before! She had an frightening experience on the way to the Margaret Tower! 😮 C. 29 - 04 - 2024

[@Arthagnou]

sad thing is, that castle looks like it could be renovated, most of the walls are still there.

[@DecadesVideos]

After centuries of neglect, the safest bet was to preserve the ruins and allow them to just be that. There are too many castles in England to renovate them all. For a castle that was never completed to begin with, renovation wouldn't recapture any history either.

[@ronchar1481]

I like it!

[@TIGERZY2K]

Look at the amount of mosses covered in the premises of this 4 centuries old haunted British castle...if it is neatly extracted without damaging the monument walls then it should be good enough to produce algae fuel.

[@DecadesVideos]

Lots of moss here for sure

[@danielt.3152]

Can this castle be restored? Any plans?

[@DecadesVideos]

Typically ruins aren't restored but rather maintained to ensure they are safe for visitors. There are castles that have been fully restored though these tend to serve as huge tourist attractions, whilst the history is there the point is quite defeated so that sort of treatment is almost exclusively reserved for structures that have been maintained consistently over the centuries.

[@danielt.3152]

@@DecadesVideos my only comment is that as always it take vision and leadership to turn nothing into something

[@DecadesVideos]

@@danielt.3152 sometimes the history of a ruin cannot be replaced by a rennovation that would, at least now, require more or less ripping the whole thing down and rebuilding, which could just as easily be done off-site if at all. Unless the foundation is laid by a perfectly preserved structure that has been maintained without fail since its construction, the task is too detrimental and actually illegal as these buildings get listed status, they cannot be modified heavily or demolished, only preserved. However, like I said if a castle is in good nick, such as Warwick, they absolutely do get done up and transformed into more mainstream tourist attractions.

[@danielt.3152]

@@DecadesVideos please allow me to take a high-level pass at how I might approach this project. I would hire a small team of an architect,construction engineer, interior designer, historian, writer, a filmmaker, landscape designer and financial analyst. I would direct the historian, writer to come with backstory for the castle that appealed to a UK audience that was partially based on true history and based on fiction Alize characters that held to the aspirations, morals, ethics, contains some romance, warrior ethos, love, rivalry, class differentiators, royals, aspirations and really played to the story of how the people in the Uk see themselves and their place in society. I would direct the construction engineer to salvage what he could and the architect to build us something that would attract people and have it play a bit to our storyline. Once they had that story boarded , I would direct the interior designer to assemble design drawings of the interior. The filmmaker would document in film all aspects of the reconstruction effort which would be assembled eventually into a documentary on reconstruction. Our financial analyst would create the budgets for the various reconstruction phases and for the long term payback period required to achieve profitability and self sustaining cash flow required to sustain and fund maintenance,personnel, operations etc through various cash management strategies e.g. walking tourism, hotel stays, wedding accommodations, movie/film set availability, living history Re-enactments, renaissance fairs etc etc, all meeting cash flow generation requirements for self sustainable revenue models and forecasting. While loosely based on history and factionalized characters this would enable an attachment that would play well to people of all ages including children and make it all relatable for them to establish a sort of self investment that would attract people to the higher vision of human potential. The tea m would also by necessity need the support of government, personalities of importance and maybe some tax breaks for creating jobs locally. An association with universities so that we could attract some lower cost labor for their apprenticeships or training opportunities. You are correct I have not mentioned a budget or feasibility of the existing structure while very important it’s harder to that sitting here inside the USA, but clearly to might require $20M USD or more. I might though point out that in France, they built a castle recently using medieval techniques and we could use modern techniques to save money. Since this would be a long term project, built in phases each phase would yield something tangible that resulted in a phased revenue generating element. This project could be completed perhaps in 10-20 years time depending on funding, and other factors. I realize this is a rather rough outline to provide a framework that yields a desired outcome, but also could be used for other properties that perhaps offer a better start point. I don’t know what people said when they built the great pyramid in Egypt, certainly someone said it can’t be done, or would never be finished but where there is a will there is a way, it did provide work, food,housing and unified feeling for those people that participated and for those whom saw the project completed and perhaps gave people something to believe in and a sense of accomplishment. Is this worthy of our best efforts I don’t know if I can answer that either, but if one person stands up to be a champion then others would follow. I realize my saying all this may mean absolutely nothing to the naysayers and skeptics and this the burden that always exists, maybe building a tunnel under the English Channel sounded like science fiction when it was first proposed and yet today people use it daily without ever realizing the complexities,political will,cost or that it started as a dream. Maybe this helps, or it is just words on a social media page that are essentially meaningless

What if these ghost encounters are actually an overlap between two points in time 🤔

[@catfishvodka6668]

I've often wondered that myself. Or maybe we're seeing a snapshot of something that happens rather than a sentient ghost. Like an illusion trapped in the stone. I heard quartz can actually hold memory somehow much like a memory card, maybe the trauma of an event can save a snapshot into the walls

[@NickZan_Ziram]

@@catfishvodka6668 I don't think it'd be a snapshot considering people seem to be able to communicate with the "ghost". Unless sometimes it is a snapshot and there can be no communication.

[@catfishvodka6668]

@@NickZan_Ziram I'm not a massive believer in ghosts but I've seen some unexplainable things in my life and I don't believe most people are lying when they tell me there stories. So I guess sceptical but open minded. Never been convinced of people communicating with the dead but would love to have my view challenged
