I was wondering what happened! Nice to see you again, CW. Hope all is well with you and yours.

You're looking great! Stay safe dear Internet friend... 💋🇨🇦

If my wife expressed those concerns to especially when it involved where my children slept, there is no way I could ignore what she was saying and I would act upon it.

[@Edward.Rippett.]

Facts

[@thurayya8905]

A date is not given, but it sounds like what often happened in the fifties, sixties, and even the seventies: feelings expressed by women were not taken seriously and not expected to be taken seriously. Sad.

[@whf5667]

Truly. Glad my dad is as sensitive as we are when it came to scary things 😂

[@taimalik1110]

New England truly is mysterious and hauntingly beautiful...in some places here, time truly stands still and the deceased truly rest in peace...

[@charliekill88]

Growing up in New England, I absolutely love this area and all of its history, especially the paranormal.

[@lindakinsman6215]

I live in New Hampshire been here my whole life and just absolutely love hearing these stories.

[@emmapeacock4612]

I must tell you that I absolutely love your videos. The quiet, measured narration, the amount of research and respect with which you talk about all the people involved is strangely calming. All of these stories are so fascinating. Thank you. Keep it up!

[@CuriousWorldProductions]

Thank you, Emma.

[@wht-rabt-obj]

How do you ignore the last wishes of someone you love? That is so sad.

[@99fruitbat]

The English author Charles Dickens requested to be buried in the grounds of Rochester Castle in Kent England UK . He set many of his stories in the area . After his death he was instead buried elsewhere . He had wanted a small informal ceremony , ended up with a huge state funeral and was interred in a fancy London Cathedral 😶 He is said to haunt Rochester to this day . I live about 20 minutes walk away from Rochester .

[@leonaheraty3760]

I agree.

[@bradwhite5884]

@@99fruitbat Charles Sickens said; "F you, I am haunting the place that I wanted to be buried in"

[@LoveShaysloco]

Cause you hate the person they fell in love with. Before you ask I was engaged to the most wonderful woman kind smart and drop dead gorgeous. Well she took my last name and had her will saying what she wanted all paperwork sorter. Well her parents hated my guts cause I was broke they were rich. Well she died in a car wreck they fought and won. To make matters worse they payed off my loves lawyer to change it and now to late to do anything

[@99fruitbat]

@@LoveShaysloco Actually in the case of Charles Dickens it was more down to him being kind of publicy revered . The British comedian Frankie Howard never received the headstone he wanted . His sister blanked it . Frankie was gay and his sister refused any mention of a headstone that mentioned his long time male partner 😶 Don't know if he has a headstone to this day .

[@quietone748]

Yay New England! I live in Massachusetts. So much history here (well, relative to Europe, I know) but this is the area with the oldest settlements, native and colonial.

[@CuriousWorldProductions]

I wanted to go into the history at the beginning, but even after reading up on it, there were some gray areas. So I kept the intro simple for fear of getting something wrong.

[@dmax64]

I travelled to Massachusetts last fall it is a beautiful state.

[@ne1124]

Herbert Norkus Hahahahahaha! Every state has it’s good points and bad points. My father was stationed in Georgia, you trade one misery for another. Better the devil you know than the one you don’t.

@Herbert Norkus I live in the south and it's hot and humid in the summer and yucky cold in the winter. We have lying, cheating politicians too. Have fun.

You should definetly do more narration work. I really enjoy your channel. Both because of your excellent content, but also because your voice is really pleasant and comfortable to listen to 🙂.

[@FranNyan]

Having lived one town up from Pownal I an mot at all surprised to hear that story. That area in general is fairly full of hauntings, and with how scattered and decentralized the sprawl of that town is, there's ample room for all sorts of leftovers. There's just simply not enough living energy to nudge the dead out to the next world.

[@phillipsnijders5933]

Another great video from Curious World. I look forward to everything you put out, as it is always so well researched, well narrated and interesting. I love hearing about other's encounters with ghosts, as I have had a few inexplicable experiences myself.

[@belles_library]

[@aishaknowsjah1558]

I grew up in Bridgeport Connecticut. Myself, my father and middle brother used to see the ghosts of children in the first home we lived in. One time for fun, I looked up the history of my area at the library. In the early 90’s there was no internet really to look it up, so we had to look at old newspapers. I saw that my home was once a school house. My father said that the teacher was the woman that he often saw in the kitchen and bathroom

[@imtheitchyouneedtoscratch]

Bridgeport was where both Ed and Lorraine Warren born and bred and met each other and the rest of history as they say.

[@aishaknowsjah1558]

Steve Hann oh yes! I remember meeting them many times. They made so many appearances and then again they visited my college. Very popular people RIP To them both

@@aintnobodyherebutuschicken1418 god bless you too, brit! Were it not for the English My family would not have come here (338 years and counting) and my beloved New England would not have her flavor. thank!

[@MegaMackproductions]

@Jody Owen New England as well as much of the East coast is very historied and in fact we in the more rural parts of New England try to maintain our sense of History by preserving older structures and building more houses in their architectural likeness. there are parts of Boston which still retain their Historical look like the North End. New England has an exceptionally unique culture and from what I have heard is quite similar to Europe in terms of atmosphere. I live in New Hampshire so I can certainly attest to Portsmouth being VERY European. You should definitely come and see this region, its truly beautiful, especially in fall qnd if you do come here in the Fall I would recommend the Cider Donuts, theyre really delicious XD

I'm normally streaming via Roku or SmartTV so I rarely leave comments but I absolutely love this channel. Excellent narrative skills from proper British accent, the stories are intriguing & I just wish Curious World made more videos (being selfish).
