Saturday night, home during a blizzard, in a dark room under a few blankets, watching these awesome vintage ghost documentaries.

Oh, that is absolute BLISS to me.🎉

After 3 months of Robert Hardy's passing, did not know that he passed away in Aug. 3rd, 2017. He was a great actor. Our family enjoyed his work. Thank you for posting /sharing the segments with his narration.

The castle gosht attack me I'm just missed the ghost hand thank good 😢

[@lisarua491]

Just stumbled onto these little gem's. What great documentaries. Never heard or seen any of them until today. They sure aint making doco's like this anymore. Robert Hardy sure brings a class act to narrating like David Attenborough was to wildlife. RIP Mr Hardy.

[@adrianekelly2966]

My paternal grandfather was born in Wales in 1884, emigrated to US at the turn of the last century. Graham Phillips researched 25 years through both documents and archeological discoveries, wrote a book about the true Arthur coming from Wales. Another on Merlin. Wonderful to read. Evidence of actual 'Camelot' and Arthur's burial locations surprising. Great research and presentations. Possible end and burial place of the true Merlin left me smiling. Phillips has many great videos on KZbin. Best to all.

Thankyou dear Robbert Hardy, this brought me back to my childhood were the highlight of my days were spent watching with my Dad, “All Creatures Great and Small” and dreams of being a vet like you, and my Dad getting to relive his childhood on his family farm. What a legend you are and never forgotten. 💐🌷🌸🌼RIP.

[@rosemarybach-holzer3937]

Thank you for posting these four great documentaries. Good to see the extremely talented and youthful Robert Hardy who is 71 years old at the time, yet sounds, behaves, and looks 20 years younger. Star quality both the programmes and the man. Bless you all.

[@1AstuteBella]

Thank you for uploading these wonderful series narrated by Robert Hardy, who at 71 looked decades younger and is a total class act besides being a talented actor with a wonderful voice. Gave meaning to the terms aging well and gracefully. Wonderful!

[@JulieWallis1963]

1AstuteBella this programme is from 1995, so he would have been 20+ years younger then.

[@kmexperience]

He passed away last year at 91, so he would have been about 71 when he did this. I just saw these documentaries and I had to wiki the guy...!

[@runenummedal6957]

Hardy is great in this program, but everything else in it looks like a comic parody...

[@franceswitham8214]

I first came to love Robert Hardy in the stupendous "All Creatures Great and Small". Wonderful performer.

[@redwoods7370]

Oh, those gorgeous trees and streams in the beginning. Absolutely gorgeous. 0:50 I visited Wales in the 1970's. It was pure magic. Sheep everywhere on the roads, walking through the towns. People sitting together speaking Welsh. Very friendly, very beautiful and very mysterious. I fell in love with it.

[@kathrynsmith3417]

I enjoy watching this series every October as I work on Halloween arts & crafts. Robert Hardy is excellent host.

[@PC-lu3zf]

My Uncle passed away on Thursday and his ghost has been seen in his home yesterday by a cleaner. They are real. He lived there for 50 years.

[@darthnecrosis1705]

Never knew this one existed. I've seen England, Ireland and Scotland. Thanks for putting these up, remember watching these growing up, always my favorite right next to Unsolved Mysteries.

[@kestrelmuse]

4 years ago my beloved cat, Sparkplug, was killed by coyotes. The very next night as I was waking, my soul returning to my old body, I felt her fur as she , in astral body, was curled in the same spot on my bed that she used to favor.

[@silverstuff182]

This exact manifestation happened to me. One night in the San Fernando Valley the temperature reached 110 degrees. My beloved cat, whom I had for a long time and to whom I was very attached, wouldn't stop pacing and meowing. She wanted to go out. It was so hot I decided to let her out. That night she never came back. I found her with a crushed head just along the curb. I was heartbroken, But the second night I felt her body curled around my head at night. I put my hand up there and there was nothing there.

[@debbyparker4436]

I sometimes feel a cat sliding across my legs and when I look down there's none there , I feel like it's one of my kitties that have passed letting me know they still want to try to trip me up... love and miss them all... still...

[@accaliamurraymusic]

This is so fascinating. I love that it's not just a show about ghosts, but Robert actually dives really far into the actual history and back stories of the ghosts and their lives. It's really intriguing.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

1997 back when TLC, Travel Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and History Channel were all awesome and actually educated the public rather than entertain.

[@wildgirl6557]

If I were in charge of Discovery communications, I would most certainly bring back the good old days of Animal Planet and Discovery Channel, as well as for the other channels and turn the Hub/Discovery Family back into Discovery Kids.

[@enkiea52]

I agree 100%

[@idontlikeit5688]

Yes, but now all i know that changed is that channel 119 i think was where these once educated channels showed now is a channel where cartoon and family games are shown. Im not sure if that still goes on because i dont watch that channel, i watch others

[@Vesnicie]

But you have to admit that an enraged ghost monkey is pretty damned entertaining.

[@macnutz4206]

I would not call this bunch of ghost stories anything but entertainment.

[@gillianholmes258]

That writing on the brick looks like it was written by two different people, at different times, firstly just the owners' initials were there, and then the heart was added much more recently.

[@doggiesarus]

Sir Hardy has a very hypnotizing voice once you get used to it, and is a wonderful storyteller. The videos and special effects are decent. I think anyone who likes hearing about ghosts would like this series.

[@neilreading3552]

Plus, it's perfect for ESL students.....

[@jillczarnyszewicz7494]

This is the one with the wacky baboon story, and that makes it the best entry in this truly excellent series.

[@UCSPanther20]

The story of the drunken and bitter old Sir Roland Rhys and his Barbary Ape "Satan" is probably my favorite. A bit of poetic justice , with Rhys getting killed by his own pet just after trying to have him kill that merchant. More fitting, is how those two are condemned to wander the ruins of the castle where they once sat around wallowing in misery, bitterness and alcoholism...

[@cassiemontgomery45]

I can't imagine a worse hell. I've been there......alcoholism, bitterness, pill addiction, etc.. I straightened out myself over 5 years ago, I wish Sir Roland and his mandrill had done the same!

[@russellschaeffler]

I once lived in a house that had the ghost of a cat, which you could see and it left paw impressions on the bedsheets. Also in the house was what appeared to be a man and a woman in clothing from around the 1920s to 1930s. I once saw the woman's face and head very clearly, she had a short bob cut and worn a tight fitting hat that looked almost like a bathing cap. The man had a suit and briefcase and would repeatedly walk from a hallway to the front door, unlock a chain lock and exit the room through the closed door. I examined the door frame since there was no chain lock on the door at that time, but there was an oval mark on the door frame where there may have been once a chain lock. I would play old records in the house at night and very often in the room was dark, I could see the image of the man and woman dancing in a waltz around the room. I feel that this couple had probably live and perhaps died in the house sometime in the past and still their energy remained in the place.

[@GottliebGoltz]

The "Over Look".?

[@silverstuff182]

Fabulous. Thanks for the comment. Do these ghosts scare you?

[@schuylerjohnson4364]

Very cool

[@mariefc8504]

Cool story. I've had paranormal experiences with ghosts since I was a kid. I don't know what a ghost is, exactly. But I've seen some and heard things I couldn't explain. Fun stuff!

[@russellschaeffler]

@@silverstuff182 at first it was more of a shock, because I had had a few encounters before but they were nothing like what U had experienced in that apartment. But also I had grown up with shows like In Search of and Mysterious World so I did have a believe in spirits or ghosts, just seeing them so clearly was a shock.

[@rebeccagriggs3262]

Thank goodness for Hearst buying that one castle wreck and restoring it. He also bought some of the panelling that was stripped out of Gwydir, so that couple living there now were able to find and replace it to where it belonged...I seem to recall it was the dining room but not sure. It's really disgusting when these houses and castles get stripped of their panelling!

I remember when these first aired in 95. Used to stay up late to watch them on sleep overs at a good friend’s house. Seemed like I was there every weekend, and every time, we wondered which one we’d get. My friend had seen Wales and really wanted me to see it. But more often than any other, we got Scotland. Never got to see this one until I bought a DVD collection years later. Good to see it here!

I stayed one night, many years ago at a hotel called the white lion in cerrig y druidon. I awoke at around 3am to find an old lady dressed in typical black dress with bonnet and black shoes sitting in a rocking chair in the corner of the room. I awoke my partner who also could not comprehend the apparition that appeared before us. The figure eventually dispersed and disappeared. Next morning at breakfast. I explained to the landlady of the hotel the apparition that we both had seen. "Don't worry." she said "It's only old Meg. She visits many a guest staying in that room."
