Previously, we have explored numerous instances of supernatural activity witnessed at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, many of which are directly connected to Castle Ring, the remnants of an Iron Age fort at the heart of that region. This week, we journey to another such site, located 200 miles away in southeast England, known for similar disturbing occurrences. Join us as we delve into the Curse of Clapham Wood.

Love how detailed this episode’s artwork is. Props to Mikey. Regarding the supernatural/devil worshipping aspect of this story, perhaps a future video could tie together this case and others like it and Cannock Chase using the idea of the ancient witch-cult hypothesis. It’s been a while since I read about it but I think the person first responsible for spreading that idea was an English occultist called Gerald Gardner who also made claims about a New Forest Coven of pagan witches amongst other weird and wild claims. But yeah… a video on the ancient witch-cult to bring together these different cases and tie them together would be neat.

You should totally do a "Bedtime Stories" episode about "Devil's Den", it's located in the Ozark region of the United States, it straddles the Missouri/Arkansas border. One of the most infamous alien abduction accounts happened there in the 1970's. The Native Americans have long considered that part of land to be cursed.

[@FairyEncounters]

Many of the sightings/encounters at Clapham Wood could be attributed to Fairies. Not the Tinkerbell's, but the ancient race of creatures who still dwell in and around rings, forts and forests. Their behaviour is often malevolent: menacing or even aggressive towards people who intrude on their land. Sightings with dark Fairies aren't as common as they used to be, but still occur to this day. Problem is, most people are reluctant to share their experiences for fear of being ridiculed! Long-time viewer but this is my first time commenting. Love your channel, always consistent, top quality storytelling! Cheers, Kitty.

[@mainsource8030]

[@FairyEncounters]

@@mainsource8030 Yes, I loved The Hallow, it was terrifying. Another good folk horror from Ireland is 'Without Name'. Ancient creatures as old as the hills and forests who know how to hold a grudge... Love it! To this day, people will say they don't believe in the Fairies, yet won't cut down a Fairy tree, enter a Fairy Fort or build on a Fairy Path. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

[@juliaeastbourne6310]

Sussex is known for dangerous fairies. As I pointed out in my own comment they are said to dance anti-clockwise at Chanklebury Ring. There is supposed to be another hill in the County where they blind you if you see them dancing. If anyone denies that the fairies exist then they kill that person within weeks. People used to avoid contact with fairies. If they encountered one they would pretend not to notice them and walk on.

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

To me I think the encounters are tied with what was going on in the Late Bronze Age. I did a quick look to see if there could be anything rooted in the history of the Ring and it turns out that archaeological excavations found bits of pottery dating back to the Late Bronze Age with the site having been used on and off by the people of that area (specifically the site would not be used after the mid-fourth century BCE only to have temples built on the hill once the Roman conquest occurred). After the Roman withdrew from Britain the site would be left abandoned and untouched until the 18th century when the trees were planted. I am slightly puzzled why the site stopped being considered sacred in the fourth century BCE but this could be a Gobëkli Tepe situation in which the site was abandoned for some reason (apparently the Ring is in a windy zone) but still I wish I knew which deity was worshipped by the first to call the site sacred.

[@mk71618]

Cool. Did you see an actual craft or just the lights underneath? What was it like? Any interesting observations/details?

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

@@mk71618 It was really strange...because at times it looked like lights of separate crafts because now and then one light would be slightly out of line...but could have been the angle at that moment, but then at times it seemed so in unison..the lights...that it had to be one huge craft. Some of us..me included...could see what appeared to be a faint difference in blacks, in a chevron shape or a triangle. I can see a lot more shades/hues than 'normal' folks. It's called Tetrachromacy and is more often in females than males. You can see more shades than most folks. Where most folks see 16 shades of black, tetrachromatic folks might see 20 distinct shades of black. They make awesome artists, for their color use. Most don't know WHY it's cool, but some of us who are tetrachromatic DO know why, and see the added shades. Anyway, when I noticed them, I had to pass a few pullouts because mostly everyone from both sides of the road were pulled off into the pullouts on that cliff edge. We were discussing them, out of our cars but not having good, handy cameras at the time. It hung there for some time, slowly moving...really slowly...like cruising and unconcerned who saw it. But at times a light would fly out from the main light-shape or fly at it..really like a flash of light, they traveled so quickly. Totally opposite of the huge one. We all were like that for a long time...not just several minutes. We looked out onto that valley area below us, and not one of us was not chattering, gawking at them as the darkness deepened, and processing the whole thing. Someone said "Pinch me someone, so I know this is fucking real" and we all laughed nervously. Twice we saw some sort of flash...not pinpoint like the dashing lights {maybe smaller scout crafts entering or exiting a larger mother craft?} but like a mirror or window gives when it catches the sun for a second..but it was evening and there was no sun out. So what were those flashes? They weren't piercing bright, nor lasted more than a second...but without a sun or light source, what caused them?? A momentary door opening to allow a craft out, then closing, and that was just seeing the inside for a nanosecond? If that's ridiculous, then what was it??? And what caused the flash? Not one sound came from it by the way. None. Not a flame sound, not a whoosh or beep or tone...not air whipping past nor muffled roar. Nothing. Silence. Too silent, other than the chatter of dozens of folks along that road, in pullouts. A bit eerie, actually. The fact that it emitted no sound whatsoever had us discussing, trust me! Which is why we were surprised that what appeared to be one huge craft...I mean like huge....doesn't make one iota of a sound. That's not possible. Well, not on this planet, that we know of. And there were military folks in those pullouts, too. Even they said the secret knowledge they have, is nothing like what we were seeing. They couldn't tell us what the secret stuff was of course, but they could say they know nothing of anything like what we were standing there gaping at. They were no freaking flares. No way. Yes, some things were similar, but no way that explained all of what we saw/didn't hear. I knew someone who was an engineer at Raytheon, and asked him a few days later. Described what I've told you...he kept giving me the side-eye, because he didn't know of anything like that with all the 'features' I told him about, but also knew I don't lie or play pranks like THAT. That is all I can remember right now. Some of those on those pullouts came up with some crazy scenarios, but even those didn't sound as bizarre as what we were witnessing, whilst we talked. I can still see it/them in my head, as I type. I was very late arriving at my destination, and she asked what took me so long, as she knew when I had left Tucson, enroute to Mesa...which is north of Phoenix. I told her the above...and she just sat there, staring at me, her mouth agape. All she said was, "Are you messing with me?" I just shook my head 'no'...silently.

Bedtime Stories also have another channel called Wartime Stories that you might like (if you don't already watch it.) Its content sounds like it was made for you! My favourite story so far is The Kersey Timeslip Incident 😊

[@JeffTheJoker-ci1iq]

@@rabbitsonjupiter6824 I already watch it.. It's one of my personal favorite channels on youtube, but I would like to see them produce a historical series of paranormal phenomena on really old or even ancient battlefields....Just something on my wishlist that's all. I'm a student of history, so it's an interest for me.

[@rabbitsonjupiter6824]

@JeffTheJoker-ci1iq Glad to hear you're already a Wartime Stories fan! I think haunted historical sites like battlefields would make for some really interesting episodes. I also have a fascination for history.

[@mariog1982]

Awesome video as always. My favorite Bedtime Stories videos are of mysterious places where multiple instances of paranormal events takes place. Those are absolutely fascinating. Keep up the good work. Love to see more of those type of videos.

The flying screaming witch(?) reminds me of all the other accounts I've read of monsters, haunted houses, etc., that have something screaming 'like a woman being murdered'. It's an oddly common element to these retellings. The flying beings and their screams also put me in mind of the Conewago Phantom here in Pennsylvania that I've heard tell of.

[@Eddie_Dean1985]

Keep in mind that many animals (Cats of all sizes, Vixens, like half the weasel family) in heat or communicating with conspecifics in the night time are often mistaken for a women’s scream. I’ve camped with urbanites unfamiliar with the sounds of the forest at night its panic inducing. One time it was just a wip-er-will but my friends demanded we leave. The most dangerous thing you can see in the woods is other people. If you hear branches snapping, sporadic leaves crunching, or “people talking who aren’t making their presence known explicitly, view this as an existential threat and proceed accordingly. I’d sooner deal with a wild animal than a person who’s comfortable stepping into someone else’s private camp site. I’ve heard people talk about waking up to strangers walking around their hammocks and tents, one girl who was passing through on the AT told me some dude was smelling her feet. I don’t want to imagine what that guy’s recreational activities consist of.

[@erichinkle7347]

@@Eddie_Dean1985 I have heard some screams from foxes and bobcats, mostly recorded online. They sound like a woman being murdered; must be a wonderful thing to be awakened by at 3 in the morning while camping. And I was once told by a man who'd worked as a ranger that I wouldn't believe him if he told me how many robberies and murders have taken place involving campers, hikers, hunters, and fishermen.

[@PhoenicopterusR]

​@erichinkle7347 mountain lions are pretty notable animals that make murder-esque screeches. I'd honestly be relieved to see a witch at that point.

[@SamuelBlack84]

It's strange how these so-called phenomena often seem to regularly fall within expected parameters We expect aliens to arrive in metal ships, and as such, that's what we say We expect ghosts to moan and wail, and that's how they appear It's as though they present themselves in a way that we believe them to

When they said cursed woods usually have ufo sightings as well just to see a UFO slowly enter the screen was really funny. It's like the aliens are just trolling and are excited to make their entrance. It's really just the Nosferatu bit from Spongebob

[@Crow-WatchingHermit]

The idea that Hecate (Hekate) would have any involvement in these situations is a total misunderstanding of who they are. Hekate, the Triple Goddess, The Three Who Are One, is a tri-form entity (maiden, mother, crone,) who act as the goddess of witchcraft, and their focus is on medicine, healing, and easing transitions such as birth or death. They are the goddess of the liminal. They cherish and protect animals, particularly dogs, and would not harm a dog or require a blood sacrifice. People mix up Satanic Panic fiction with actually revered entities, and it honestly gets old. There are still modern magic practitioners who revere Hekate, and harming dogs or killing people would go against all of their principles and ethics. It would be lovely if this could be more widely known, and if rumors that tie Hekate into tragic circumstances could stop circulating.

[@valestrafox89]

Yes!!! 🗝️🌑✨🐺🕯️, that sh1t does not fly with Hekate at all! Great to see a fellow practitioner calling out the BS! Blessings ✨

[@SamuelBlack84]

I say the same thing about those ignorant of Satanism Satanists have a very strong moral code and revere innocence in animals as well as children, and harming either goes against our code

I live near changtonbury ring too. Heard all of this stuff when i was a kid. Im surprised they didnt include the story about if you walk around the ring three times the devil will appear and offer you a bowl of soup for your soul! I spent a night there with friends once, didnt see anything werid but around 1 in the morning a really strong gale blew in, we only had crappy tents so we went back down into the wood below. I know the ring is at the top of a hill so the woods would give you some shelter but it was absolutely still in those woods. I wish i could tell you more but castlemaine really messed with my memory of that night!

An interesting story, as always. To get a feel for the area, I looked it up on Google Maps while listening. It was kind of curious and funny to notice how to me it seemed hardly wooded at all, apart from patches that may certainly stand out by contrast. Of course, my expectation of "heavily wooded" may be severely biased by living in Finland.🙂
