Same. But it sounds familiar too. I wonder if he's narrated other things I've heard in the past.

[@Carnivorousplanthelp]

At the risk of being in trouble with KZbin. For the love of all that is holy make more ghost shows. I have watched probably 10 thousand hours or more of ghost shows and have read hundreds of books and I can say that your programming is absolutely top notch!!! And should have 100s of hours more of ghost stories from around the UK. Everything about your channel is perfect and should include tales from all over the UK!!

[@wendy-0101]

❤️ Im born in Gloucestershire, but lived most of my life in Scandinavia. I used to visit my parents when they were alive & The Cotswolds is my favourite part of Gloucestershire. I have been able to show my children & now my Grandchildren my heritage, which I am so proud of. Love your films & get a little homesick, but so grateful to be able to see even more villages in the Cotswolds.❤️🙏🏻so much.

[@audisnewbeginning8616]

Please correct me if I am incorrect. Aren't the Cotswolds located within the Lake District? I've been told by multiple friends In Great Britain ( I have a few old school friends In England, as well a couple more old school friends In Scotland) they still gather there annually to spend a weekend hiking the trails and catching up. They tell me it's stunning, and should I ever become able to join in to literally pack multiple types, and apparel of multiple warmth. I've been told it can be sunny and glorious one moment, then moments later the rain will fall so heavily one may need to wear Wellies, until in a few minutes it will likely change again. Simply put the weather can and will change on a dime.

[@St.Linguini_of_Pesto]

@Robert Diamond I'd had a preference for strolling in a cemetary in the evening or _very_ late at night.. more fun, all the night birds are out, and if I remember my little flashlight, I like reading the names of the "occupants", dates of birth & death, the fond words of their loved ones, & the epitaphs - some solemn & some witty - and on the older headstones, what caused the occupant's demise (falling off their horse, illness, etc). The older the grave is, the more time I spend reading about their life. They had lived & loved, sang & danced.. then the left this world behind, as all of us will someday. I feel they should be "seen" instead of forgotten.

This was fabulous! I am from California, but I have been to England several times, including my honeymoon. We stayed at the Lamb Inn on Sheep Street in Burford. It was during the Burford Festival, so there was lots of singing in the pub and travel in the area. It was our home base as we went to Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and Stonehenge, which we visited during the Summer solstice, completely by accident! I hope to return some day and for much more than three days!

I do however have one story to share that I will NEVER forget. I was young and my teen sister and her friend were playing around with a QUIJA board. A spirit picked up named "Cuso". He said he was indian and that our newer community had been built over an Indian burial ground. I didn't believe and although scared I took to the board, and I swear that thing started moving erratically all over the board and it said didn't like me. The last chilling or intriguing thing he said to look at the stained wooden closet doors. He said he was watching us through it. We all looked all over the door and there in the woodgrain, there were two knotholes side by side, and a irregular knot that looked like a mouth. We immediately never used the board again!

[@rickyc8626]

Pretty sure a spirit of a Native American would not have referred to himself as an Indian? Most likely a demon who has never walked the earth and trying to attach itself to your sister, her friend or you. Good that y'all stopped using the board.
