Gothic Seaside Vlog 🌊👻 moody lighthouses, spooky books & romanticized adventures

Hello friends!
Here in my corner of coastal New England we have been some unseasonably cold summer days. This particular weekend was full of fog, misty mornings and believe it or not, sweater weather. I think I've just fallen even more in love with living here. I don't want you to get the wrong idea and think I'm trying to rush fall. I love summer with my whole heart, but when the weather is like this, can you really expect me to not learn into my autumn enthusiast side? I just couldn't help it. So I hope you enjoy this vlog of all the spooky summer activities I did to celebrate a day of everything summerween 👻 Ghost stories, pumpkin hot cocoa and pumpkin bread, misty seaside cliffs, gothic mansions and an evening stroll through my local cemetery. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did filming it.
p.s. I usually spend 3-5 days filming a video but for this one I did it all in one day. If you notice it doesn't feel quite up to par with the rest of my videos that is probably the reason. I wanted to push myself and see what I could create in 1 day of filming vs. almost a week of filming. I hope you still enjoy it 😊

my favorite thing about these films is how often they inspire me to pause and go off to do some hobby... gardening, reading, baking, whatever... so i get a fulfilling day out of the experience as well as an unfinished video waiting to surprise me a few months later ︎❀^-^❀

Can anyone save me and let me know the name of the piano piece that starts playing @0:35?

[@dutchessoftruth5435]

Desi girl, what state do you live in? I didn't realize you were so close to the New England coast. Hmmm. Oh and I love the way you escape this crazy world. I have been craving autumn sooo much (never cared for summer) that I have been adding twig wreaths etc. trying to achieve a sort of Hocus Pocus/ Practical Magic kind of kitcheny theme. I do love the vibe but don't want to get dark, I am a proud follower of Christ, just love the woodsy cottage vibe maybe? 😮

You (and your hubby’s) ability to film, edit and tell a story has just grown and developed. This was such a beautiful video to watch. I was enraptured at times. Those waves! Made me long for the fall, my fave time of year!

[@jolafaith]

I’ve been fighting a seasonal depression, despite it making no sense since it’s summer, but I always do - and they way I fight it, this year and every year, is to make my own “autumn” and I’ll just be 100% honest and say that I watched all of your Autumn and winter videos and it helped. It really did. So I love that this is a “pretending it’s fall” video. 💕

[@hellofromthecocoon]

Summer has gotten more difficult the older I get...I'm 38 and learning how to make summer better always involves cozy things 😂

I have always gotten seasonal depression in the summer and no one could understand why. Now, as an adult, I keep the vibe of my house autumn all year except for Christmas. It has really helped. 🧡

Hi! I don’t know you and we probably will never meet in person but I just wanted you to know: We are all just humans, after all. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed, dissociated, depressed, angry, sad, scared… It’s normal. It’s hard and painful but in the end, it leads you to yourself. To your stronger, braver, more empathetic self. It makes you evolve as a Soul, it makes your heart grow bigger. I don’t know what made you have a restless night. But whether it’s just an uncomfortable pillow or something really serious, please, never give up and lose hope. Just be patient. Be careful. Be patient WITH YOURSELF AND OTHERS. Love every moment of life even if sometimes it really is hard. I send you my love and support, and the best wishes ⭐️ I hope your life is a great journey. That’s it. I felt like someone needed to hear that. I hope I helped you somehow ☺️😊

I’ve been having trouble building up to august (and trust that august itself will be difficult for me) because that’s the month of my boyfriend’s death anniversary. I miss him dearly each and everyday but summer tends to cause me strife in general because despite my favourite season being winter, his was always and will always be summer. The whole season is a reminder of what I’ve lost, yet your videos have shown me love and beauty surrounding the season beyond what my boyfriend already encouraged me to find. I can’t wait to watch this video over and over to remind myself that I can take a moment away from that bittersweet summer I’m slowly growing to love, and to take a moment in a season more comfortable. Less challenging. You always make me so happy and inspired Desi, and I appreciate the kindred spirits across the world that gather to you like old friends from a far away land. Thank you :)

[@DarlingDesi]

I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine 😔 Sending you so much love! 🤍

Autumn is my favorite season and i absolutely love the aesthetic of it

[@tomsgrexit]

I needed this! I'm thirty and my mom thinks I'm childish bc I like to do things like this. It's hard not to get discouraged but when I see your videos and all these amazing comments, it reminds me I'm not alone! Also, I just have to say your painting was gorgeous! It completely surprised me when you said you don't know how to paint. Your husband cheering you on in the background was so cute!! ❤😊

[@laurabarry5175]

Autumn is MY FAVE. And the mansion you visited was giving such Jane Austen, Remains of the Day, Downton vibes. Love this. I needed this so much. Well done 😊

[@breanapismany]

Desi, I think this is one of your most beautiful videos yet! You captured the cloudy, spooky day so perfectly! 🫶🏻

[@TheCHADsession]

Ah perfect content for me as I live in Australia, it's winter here so I'm deffs excited to watch this. Thank you Desi for creating the most beautiful content. In a world where social media tends to make people feel bad about themselves, yours always lifts people up.

[@mshannarose12]

Me too! So cold in Melbourne, love the seasonal crossover! I was having such summer envy!

[@itsjazzyjules]

Your videos are always so cinematic. Very excited for this. I ended up adding a lot of your book recs to my list.

[@DarlingDesi]

Thank you!! I hope you enjoy the books as much as I did! 😃

[@vanadiumroad7548]

Can I just thank you for this video? I live in Florida, where the heat is extreme and the humidity is off the charts in the summer, which has made me dread and resent the season for most of my life (I'm 53). But after seeing this video, I felt inspired to see summer in a totally different light. Now, I can think of it as a time for moody, cozy, "dark nautica" themes, and gothic seaside atmospheres (as you can probably guess, fall/Halloween is my fave season!). I was so energized with a fresh attitude about summer, and it's all because of this video. Thank you so much, Desi!

[@clarizabarron8917]

Dear Desi, Your videos bring me so much joy. I feel like in you I have met a kindred spirit (as Anne would say). I'm 44 years old and I still love romantisizing each season. I agree that middle school books can often be funner and spookier. Thanks for your content! P.S. I love the sound of crows too 😊.

[@CharizzeT]

Thank you so much for hosting a premiere! 💕 I really appreciate your hard work to give us incredible videos! I’m so ready for fall that I keep revisiting your previous ones but I’m also loving your summer content!✨

[@DarlingDesi]

I still get nervous to host premiers and hear everyone’s feedback as my video plays but it was such a heartwarming experience 🥹 Thank you for attending the premier! 🥹🫶🏻

[@jsylvest500]

You're love for spookiness in the middle of summer is contagious! Love everything you recommended and love, love, love the beautiful landscapes!!!! May I recommend "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" with Gene Tierney and "The Uninvited" with Ray Mill for spooky, seaside movies!

[@lavoixdevelours]

This is my favorite setting for a thriller or horror book. A seaside town with the cliffs, lighthouse, and maybe an old mansion.

[@zoeinthewild]

Oh my goodness, this may be one of my favourite videos that you've ever made! The vibes are immaculate, and don't let anyone tell you that it's too soon to start feeling romantic about fall!

[@Tamara_Reads11]

Each one of Desi's videos is unique in its own way. I can not describe how happy each of them makes me feel. It is like i am watching short movies based on the most beautiful fairytales. Thank you Desi, Greetings from Bosnia🍂

[@aliciamarielavoie]

Hi Desi! My name is Alicia. I was born, raised, and still live in New England. Someone suggested your channel. I'm slowly making my way through videos. I'm familiar with this lighthouse. It's one of my favorite places (especially for photography), though I haven't been in a while. Have a good one!

[@spiritsoffashion1689]

The Breakers has always been my favorite. Thanks for taking us back inside!

[@AngelLeosAdorkableUniverse]

I adore how you romanticize every little moment. I often have these little moments of scenarios in my head of how I want things to go and how I'll feel while doing them. I'm glad to know other people are enjoying those little moments. Not enough people slow down and really let themselves experience these things. I think we'd all be a lot happier if we did.

[@ninahoward6066]

If you haven’t read Kate Morton yet, I feel confident you’d adore her. One of her biggest influences is du Maurier, and she loves to tell stories about the layers of time in grand old houses. Not fully spooky, but definitely mysterious with her “why dunnit” motifs. My personal favorite is The Clockmaker’s Daughter (audiobook read by “Anna” of Downton Abbey is *chef’s kiss*), but The Forgotten Garden is the perfect grown-up story for lovers of The Secret Garden.

[@jenstaggs]

I loved Mary Downing Hahn's writing! I read Wait Til Helen Comes as a 5th grader and I STILL adore it and feel the creepy vibes 37 years later!!! I am just now getting around to reading more of her work and while it is in the 'juvenile' section of my library, something about her style stays with me after each book I read! And you're right, sometimes I like the YA stories better- they don't have to rely on gore or sex- they utilize more potent storytelling and that's what I'm here for! Thank you for one of the best videos ever. You really outdid yourself!!

[@DarlingDesi]

I totally agree with you about spooky middle grade books! I’m definitely want to read more Mary Downing Hahn books so I think I’ll definitely pick that one up next!

[@spinstercatlady]

Mary Downing Hahn and Betty Ren Wright (The Dollhouse Murders) were both elementary school favs of mine too! For some reason I always associate them with Summer, bc I can remember coming in after playing outside in the sun all day, taking a bath and climbing between cool, crisp sheets to snuggle up with these ghost stories (or reading them on family trips) ✨️ As I got a bit older, I also really enjoyed the Fear Street books and LJ Smith books (early 90s when they had all just came out).

Ooo I used to love reading Mary Downing Hahn! It’s been awhile, but my old spooky favorites were “The Old Willis Place,” “Wait Til Helen Comes,” and “The Doll in the Garden”. Recently bought a book called “Help the Witch” and I think it’s a modern take on old folk stories, but I haven’t read it yet. Love the spooky vibes!

One of the many things I love about this video is how you made of the rainy weather an opportunity. I have seen so many people on the social media, and in real life, complaining about the "bad" summer days, when it's not sunny enough to spend the day at the pool, or when it rains in the afternoon and they can't spend the entire day outside ; as if summer could only be enjoyed in a specific and mainstream way. But you, instead of waiting for the perfect day, you found a way the turn every day into your perfect day. For me that's a kind of magic.

Love visiting lighthouses and mansions! I also love crows. I was known for singing in the back seat of the car when I was little. I would sing: it's a crow day! When there were a lot of crows. LOL

I felt the whole spirit of autumn and rainy days in my soul watching this. The glimpses of sea waves crashing and the violin playing while you explored the mansion grounds transported me somewhere I've only dreamed of. Thank you. I think we all needed this feeling 🖤🌊

Mary Downing Hahn is my favorite (and my boys') author for spooky fiction. Every single one is a winner!

I loved this video. The scenery was breathtaking, and, I felt like I was right there. I never thought that anyone else enjoyed visiting cemeteries, I too, have a favorite reading spot in the cemetery where my family is. I sit under a cedar tree that is said to be over 150 years old, and read my books aloud. Nothing more peaceful.
