England's Most Haunted Village? | The White Monks of Blanchland

Hey, man. Just wanted to say I really appreciate what you're doing. You're doing your country a great service by reconnecting people with their culture again. And I'm sure your ancestors would be proud of you trying to preserve English history. If I saw you in person I'd treat you to a pint.

[@THX-to6gg]

Excellent! That brings back memories I visited Blanchland in the early 90’s during a severe winter. The power lines were down and they couldn’t pull pints in the Lord Crewe Arms so we had to drink shorts instead so we definitely encountered spirits that day. A great story I look forward to hearing more.

To add on to your comments about the bridge, I've always heard water, especially runner water, can attract spirits. I've heard multiple theories as to why, including the rushing water being a place of higher energy for the spirits to connect to, and the water eroding the veil between worlds

[@TracyD2]

Water also holds memory and energies. Dr Masaru did some groundbreaking experiments on that and has some very interesting books. I recommend checking it out if you have not already done so.

One of the many reasons I love England, the great ghost stories! America has its share of creepy places,Gettysburg, and New Orleans, leap to mind,but it's not the same. I think it's because we're a much younger nation than Britain. Monks,probably because of the hoods,and billowing robes,make the best ghosts! Loved this,please come back with more stories!

There is something classic hearing these types of stories that feel like something you'd hear as a kid or watch in a show, so glad I got recommended this video

[@LOWBORN-the-LOATHSOME]

Seeing that photograph you took at the end was incredible. It doesn't even look like a skull, more like a snake (anaconda to be precise). I've had a photo turn out like that in my childhood, too. Trivia: The germ of the idea that "demarcations are where ghosts are usually found" might be traced back to the notions involving two gods in Greek mythology, Hermes and Hecate. Hermes is not only the messenger god but also had the roles of being the god of boundaries (and places used to be marked with pillar-like icons known as Hermai to denote entryways) and a psychopomp, someone who guides departed souls to the afterlife. Hecate is the goddess of witchcraft, necromancy and ghosts but also the goddess of _boundaries,_ transitions and crossroads. It kind of makes you wonder whether ancient people first thought that ghosts were found at boundaries because of these two divinities OR because the phenomena of "ghosts" being sighted at boundaries has been occurring for so long that any divine personages associated with boundaries became associated with ghosts too. Just a thought. Even more trivia: Hecate's Roman name was _Trivia._

There are so many rural villages across the UK filled with rich, medieval and some what dark history.

[@havingalook2]

Thank you - fascinating. You introduced me to the term - Border Reivers - I have since read up on these. I love that you learn something new every day. many thanks indeed. Also I watched and wonder if there isn't a better term than haunted? Haunted always seems, to me, to be something scary, sinister, dangerous, and yet these monks are more unsettled, not looking for revenge - just still on earth unsettled. They didn't set out to frighten the lady by sitting on her bed nor appearing in your photo. I think a better term than haunted is needed. Mind you I sure wouldn't fancy waking up and finding a monk sitting on the end of me bed!!! Perhaps if he was really good looking and built, I could accommodate. LOL

[@msid7748]

haunt comes from Middle English (in the sense ‘frequent (a place’)): from Old French hanter, of Germanic origin; distantly related to home.

[@markshockley5533]

I'm from the US but am from the English colony of Maryland which was heavily influenced by England and many Royal Naval engagements along the Chesapeake bay and many hauntings in and around many of the old plantation homes including Pemberton Hall near Salisbury which was named after Lord Salisbury from Britain which had the Scottish Dashiell family and the Handy Family. Also many of our still standing colonial churches have many a ghost story as well.Ihave a fond connection to England my father's last name Shockley is English and means boggy bottomed or evil spirit which is ironic considering my father and I who have so crazy paranormal experiences.

Hi Ive just found your channel, and i'm working my way through all of the fab videos. Im a wedding photographer in the North East and in my 15 years of working I have been to probably every single castle, stately home or Manor House in the North, and hotels, inc The Lord Crewe Arms in this video. I would love to suggest a place for you to document/investigate. Have you looked into the history of Brinkburn Priory in Rothbury? Ive worked there many many times, and actually heard a similar story there, of the monks ringing the bells once they believed the Scots to have cleared the area, only to be massacred. So im intrigued what the story at Brinkburn is. It could be a mix of story telling over the years, or that that actually happened there too. Who knows. Ive had some odd experiences while shooting weddings in old buildings etc, but never been scared, just unsettled. Im yet to capture anything on photos while I work, but I always keep an open mind. Keep going with the videos!

There always seems to be more haunted activity in small traditional villages that still resemble the Old England, rather than in the more urban areas; which I suppose you would expect because those areas would of been built recently. Maybe its because the spirits of our ancestors only live where we (the indigenous Brits) are still the dominant group.

This video came up in my feed while I was checking out paranormal stuff I posted to my own channel. This is quite good. Really. You have a new fan and I just may head over to Patreon and see what I can do. I live in Vermont for 9.5 months out of the year, and in London during the summers (since 2000). I do a lot of filming for my paranormal work, and am working on a PhD that focuses on teaching about such things. I've walked across the English coutryside, on foot, a number of times, entering and filming churches, feeling the land, sensing the presence of those who've not left. As well, I have memories of being a monk in those lands. I have a great affinity for these old towns. I'd live in a tiny village, if it were convenient, not these big cities. It's why I live in Vermont: no large cities, and a bit remote, though not as remote as some places. Thank you for the work.

Ive been to Blanchland hundreds of times, even stayed in the hotel. Its a great place and has amethysts, fluorite and lead in the nearby river due to a derelict mine upstream. As a kid my family stayed a couple of nights in the hotel and encountered something abnormal. I woke up and saw a blueish transparent woman above the bed my parents slept in who soon disappeared, i may have just willed myself into imaging it but anyways, pretty cool. In the morning some ghosthunter people downstairs asked me about it and apparently other people had seen the exact same entity in the room we stayed in?! Anyways despite the ghost stories, its a fabulous place to get some "crew brew" and enjoy the scenery, definitely visit if you can! Also, take a hike up the north Pennines, there's a brilliant view but it can get extremely fast winds so be careful!

[@ruvoodoo4862]

Just found your channel and absolutely LOVE IT!! ❤️ As an American it's fascinating to see these out of the way village's and hear their long and storied histories. I live in Montana. It's what's considered a "frontier" place with stories of cowboy's and native Americans. Montana gained statehood in 1889 so if a landmark is over 100 year's old it's considered historical. I can't even imagine being in places like a church or pub that's been around since the 1300's!!! Also, I want to add one thing to the explanation of why the bridge may be haunted. Water is a good conductor of electricity and is thought to help spirit's to manifest easier. It could also have to do with the amount of residual energy from people coming and going from the village for hundreds of years. It's just a theory.

Just discovered your site and thoroughly enjoyed the Blanchland stories and location. The photograph at the end is extraordinary and adds to the mystery. The place is evidently one of those liminal spots where various phenomena occur, fascinating.
