Horror at Ballahoo manor

[@RhenProd]

Your original Ballahoo Manor from 2012 was my biggest inspiration to start making videos. Seeing this remake completely blew me away, it hit my nostalgia bone in a way I didn’t know was possible, suddenly I was 8 years old again, scared half of death by that gunshot. And that’s why this story is so brilliant, it tells an impactful story that’s terrifying because it doesn’t try to be over the top, it’s just a well written story that naturally feels scary. Fantastic job on this, the visuals have massively improved and the narration was literally perfect, this one chilled me right down to my bones, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Well done!

Well Said….

[@ShunterProductions]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the story and I'm glad that my projects and collaborations have inspired you as well.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that the foreign engine who found the bodies looks a lot like Edward. A very nice touch.

[@Killdane]

The “Foreign engine” Haha. Being serious your right.

[@rmstitanic3262]

Yeah the foreign engine might have been one of Edwards brothers

[@frenchmapping8178]

No the foreign engine can't be Edward's brother because he has different cab windows and no side rods

[@stephenfarthing3819]

And Edward's brother probably told the story to him. And that one probably rattled that brother, quite a bit. Edward knew the story, from that perspective.

[@LittleNoddyLemmyVideos]

What if it was one of the mysterious background engines from the RWS?

[@DarthWill3]

This is a pretty big improvement over the original, though the execution of the narration is a little wonky. Also, the faces for these Donald and Douglas models look almost sleepy; but then, I suppose it can only be the result of Clive Spong's illustrations.

[@ShunterProductions]

Thanks. Some of the jumps in the narration occurred in the rendering process

[@J.Tstudioproduction6375]

this remastered story about ballahoo manor was awesome, and it's quite better from the original one. but at least both the old and new look great. anyway, marvelous work on making this. you totally deserved to have some respect for making each video.

[@lonelysignalbox]

FINALLY!!!! I’ve waited so long for this remake

[@parkerproductions4546]

DCG12 has written and narrated this brilliantly and chillingly! I love how well his Ringo-esque voice sounds in this. As for the solider and nurse, I wonder if DCG12 based it off any real incident that occured during the First World War? D&D's models looked great and the filming was nice. Great work man!

[@allisonkrueger8330]

It’s very likely, I mean there are documented similar hauntings in real life. The proper term for it would be a residual haunting. A residual haunting is when a spirit relives it’s death over and over again without realizing it’s dead, basically the spirits are stuck in a never ending loop. Also they would have been totally unaware of Douglas’ presence. It usually happens when someone dies in a really traumatic way, in this one the lady was chased down and shot to death by a traumatized soldier. It’s been a while since I watched it but if I remember right Douglas heard gunshots long before the spirits showed up in front of him. Another form of a residual haunting would be hearing sounds from a death like the cracklings of a burning building in a building rebuilt after a fire that killed people or smelling smoke in said building but there is no fire or smoke.

[@sdmedia1323]

The whole concept of the Ballahoo Manor feels like something the Reverend would think of. This definitely goes in my list of things that fit perfectly within Railway Series lore.

[@thomasawl]

My god, the narration alone gives me the creeps, let alone the fact that this is a modern recreation! Although, I feel like the older version has more eeriness to it due to the age.

[@railwaysparrow]

Love this even more then the original and the original is one of the best Thomas horror stories I have ever seen. DCG12B is honestly one of the best narrators in the fandom.

[@JamesTheRedEngineProductions]

I was scared shit of this episode when i was a kid. I would have nightmares about it. Not joking! Lovely job

[@thesudriana016]

I have seen the original version of Ballahoo Manor before, and seeing this new version of it now...I LOVE IT! It gives a bone chilling feel, but brilliant. It feels like a RWS version of Bad Day at Castle Loch (except with a manor). As for DCG12B's narration, it gives a unique vibe to the tone of the story. The nurse screaming and the ghost figures of her and the solder that Donald & Douglas witnessed are quite heart pounding. The backstory has an emotional feel too and I feel sorry for the poor solder who suffered from PTSD from the First World War. And also, I can see that foreign engine has Richard's face.

[@Kanefan701]

this is amazing. well done. your remakes are just gold. You've totally grown a much bigger respect from me as a loyal fan of yours.

[@matthewsoares9880]

So the nurse was just trying to protect people from the soldier.

[@isaacgriffiths9478]

You should do bear and old Dean Morris episode you should as phantom of the branch line as well as the ghost runs at midnight and haunted Henry.?

[@robertlucido3686]

You should do a remake of, "The Ghost runs at midnight"

[@sivanvarnakulasingam6679]

You should redo NRS Banker. That story was sinister and the ending was calming.

[@ThomasKinninmonth]

[@ShortPuff]

Back at it again ! And this time remaking one of my favourite stories c:

[@moonlightrider24]

YES! The BEST of the classic Shunter horror stories remade👌

[@deanwilliams5466]

I enjoyed this to be fair well-done. Sad story shame could of made a fortune out of ghost hunting evenings. Love the realism of locos that the original series and the child never bought in. Keep up the good work

[@allisonkrueger8330]

The ghosts were stuck in a never ending loop so wild have just traumatized people, the type of haunting in the vid is called residual, basically the spirit relives it’s death without realizing it’s dead. It usually occurs when someone dies in a traumatic way such as this woman being shot dead by a traumatized soldier. They can never move on and find peace unless someone stops the loop and helps them move on.

[@fishpop]

The faces of the Scottish Twins look rather odd... I guess it's to make them look more like their RWS iterations. Also i think their crews are meant to be Scottish aswell.

[@ironhorse3826]

This is so good! It’s a big improvement over the original and that’s saying something!

[@OlivergwrThomasthetankenginefa]

[@matthewgustafson5225]

Sorry for the super late comment, This video is a excellent remastered of such a all time classic episode that I think is by far you best video you ever made. Whilst the old one was great, this new one was good as well. Thank you for remaking this.

I still think the original video has such a certain creepy atmosphere to it that a part of me dreads rewatching it. I don't know if it's the slow pace that makes it or what, but it always just unsettles me. Probably why it's one of my favorite Thomas horror stories.
