THE CURSED OVERCOAT | HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2023

[@davidconnelly]

Well, that was certainly a new direction. Big thumbs up. Thanks.

[@ankurbamne7155]

I bought a bespoke suit for myself and when I got it home, I could hear a harsh, yelling noise at night. I was covered in sweat and I got startled.. It was my wife shouting at me for spending all the money 😢 Happy Halloween!!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Oh no!

[@bingonightly]

My partner and I were once browsing in one of the many antique and vintage shops in Hastings and as she approached the vintage clothing rail she was suddenly gripped with an overpowering sense of something unpleasant and malevolent, and had to go outside...as soon as she had moved away from the clothes the feeling faded away but she refused to go back into that particular shop, though was happy to continue browsing in others. Make of it what you will, but it was an interesting incident.

[@TheChapsGuide]

I believe that some clothing has the ability to retain an essence of the owner. The supernatural cannot be fully explained

[@th7297]

Unexpected, this discussion about spiritual energy which is preserved and contained within a garment, on this channel. Yet, I am convinced that it is true. I have thrown away pieces of my clothing over the years, also other things, instead of selling them. Because I did not want to pass on the experiences and energies contained in them to another person. Really true. 😎

[@johnparnell8571]

Great story, Ash. The only implausible part about this whole chilling tale was that such a beautiful coat was purchased for just £25. That cannot be true! My beautiful S/H dinner suit is over 70 years old. The first time I put it on I became boiling hot; the second time I shivered with cold. When I confided my suspicions to my better half that it might be haunted, she kept her nerve and calmly told me that the first time it was summer and the second it was winter. 😊

[@TheChapsGuide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aagelucardie3137]

Recently I have bought a wonderful second hand vintage British made overcoat at a Dutch flea market and I started watching this video, expecting some advice on how to wear overcoats. But instead I got to watch a fabulous halloween story. You are a great story teller. Thank you very much.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Good luck with that new overcoat. I hope you don't hear any voice whispering in the dead of night!!!

[@francisheperi4180]

Liked the snaps that reinforced the story... amazing.

[@Teiste45]

What an experience ! Thanks to Henry for sharing his story with us.Actually , where I come from , Canary Islands , we used to be very careful when getting second hand clothes , specially from deceased people who weren't members of our family. This was another excellent video

[@alunjones9153]

Hi 👋 friend where can I read about this story on Google tried looking 4 it couldn't find it

[@Teiste45]

@@alunjones9153 what story , my friend ? About what I shared regarding the tradition of accepting clothes of deceased people in the Canary Islands or Ash story ?

[@clydeeasterbrook5421]

Outstanding. Bravo. I just purchased a Kangol Flat Cap English made (inspired by your Cap purchase) I'm sure it will be just fine you know not cursed or anything. It'll be fine I'm sure of it. Yup. No problem.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Enjoy! Hopefully!!

Really enjoyed this episode! Thank you Ash. Happy halloween 🎃

An excellent piece of storytelling sir. Great tale too

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thank you kindly!

[@ludwigmises]

Great story- and story-telling.

[@chrishoyt7548]

Hi Ash, I use primarily a lined Trench coat from Schnieders of Salzburg. It is warm yet light and pliable. One coat material I like but could never find in Xanada was Loden, fantastic material. Regards, Starlight

[@deusvult7559]

I picked up a black 100% cashmere overcoat from an estate sale for a song. I don't think the deceased gentleman minded because rather than fighting me it caresses me like a lover every winter! Happy All Souls Day!

[@JamesDavis-ke5qk]

My dear sir most excellent. What a great story and so well told.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for listening

[@djmaverick5353]

@@TheChapsGuide , i'm female but love your "Chaps Guide" videos, that scared the life out of me..

[@tonydeltablues]

I bought a vintage wool overcoat from a thrift shop (Burton's, of Leeds - the label dated it from 1950 - 1960 from a website I visited). The overcoat is wool and silk - boy, I love it. I did have a strange feeling as I put the overcoat on, an unearthly warmth....well it is wool and silk (very insulating). I noticed, as I put my hand in the right hand pocket, deep down, in the depths, I pulled out a piece of worn paper with a hand written message in faint fountain ink. It read: 'George, please remember to telephone auntie Enid.'. Who was this auntie Enid? Why did George need to contact her? Did he ever do so? The questions are too numerous to mention..... To this day, I wear the coat I feel (and smell) something of an eerie feeling, a feeling I'm inhabiting another world, another time, another place...... It's my new favorite overcoat.

[@TheChapsGuide]

We will never know… the world of wonder.

[@aroneaton2639]

Well, dang. Now I want an astrakhan overcoat.

[@lynn5447]

I love it! Great story. And you are a true storyteller. Thank you.

[@TheChapsGuide]

True story! Sleep won't be so sound tonight Ash. Well done! RIP Mr. Grimm. Happy Halloween 👻

Good night

Loved the content!! This could/should be a yearly event🎃👻💀

[@TheChapsGuide]

Believe it or not, I already have next year's special already in hand. So yes..... we may be revisiting this genre next year.

[@lolollolol5654]

2:19 since when are overcoats out of fashion?

[@VincentDobbins]

Well told

[@stevelee7963]

Thanks Ash

[@NaNByZero]

Ash, you scared the hell out of me! Yes, eBay can be really spooky. :D Thank you for this nice ghost story. 👍🕐🍸🍸

[@TheChapsGuide]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@damnjustassignmeone]

Good story. If that’s something you came up with, I’m very impressed.

[@TheChapsGuide]

It’s all true!

[@supersonique001]

Outstanding story and Vincent Price like narration, I was amazed a t not a hint of a smile could be discerned on your face! As you spoke I could only faintly hear 'Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-while I nodded , nearly napping, suddenly there came an 'Enigmatic Chap's Guide' video suddenly there came a tapping as of some one gently rapping at my chamber door. 'T' is some visitor, I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door-Only this and nothing more'. How I was wrong sir....!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Classic.

[@Agerskiold]

Great story and wonderful told 👌🏼 Happy Halloween 🎃 👻👍🏼

[@TheChapsGuide]

[@nicksuffolk7755]

Great story telling for a Halloween night!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for listening

[@davidnorth9390]

A greatcoat can be a great coat, --and the subject of a great, spooky STORY! ;-)

[@the.dirty.pigeon]

Great story and well told, sir! Not too long ago, I eBay purchased a lovely vintage tuxedo waistcoat made in a black grosgrain by a prominent Savile Row house. When it arrived, I noticed a sewn in label with the name of the man for whom it was originally made. After some internet searching, I found that this man was a prominent figure in television media in the 80s and 90s and had died about five years ago. His obituary mentioned that he was known for being very well dressed. Thankfully, the waistcoat doesn’t appear to have brought any weird mojo along with it and I will wear it with confidence. Hopefully the previous owner would be happy to see it in use.

[@TheChapsGuide]

The history of your garment sounds more interesting than your typical outfit. Watch out for voices in the night!

[@alunjones9153]

Can you provide me with more information I like magic made me fish out my over coat bought from a shop I look up Egyptian hall but can't find this magician!! Egyptian hall theatre did do magic and was based mainly in Piccadilly!!

[@Lordrixson5489]

Good afternoon squire, you don't fancy reading us chaps a Dickens ghost story at Christmas do you? I'm sure we'd all be up for that! 👍🏻

Sounds great!

Ha! brilliant. I've solved this 'problem' as far as buying old shoes.... I always replace the sole... or is it soul? ;) Fantastic story Ash.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

Great Story! This is like the stories I listen to at Bedtime Stories or Beyond Creepy except this was a lot better.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Very nice and incredible story. I am fashinating of this kind of tale, but I have got big fear of them. Nice hallowin to you.

This is an ordinary story for me as i am vintage lover for very long time

[@nedflanders3769]

Great story, Ash! Happy Halloween, buddy! 😊

[@Brendan3627]

Hi Ash, I just discovered your channel. This story chilled me to my core! Btw, I enjoyed your video on “5 military habits”.

[@danielmanor605]

What a wonderful video! Ash you are a wonderful storyteller. If ever Jim Henson’s The Storyteller has another series produced, you should definitely take John Hurt’s role.

[@ClassicModernGentleman]

How could you tell that story sitting in the woods on your own ?! All of the hairs on my body stood up. On a separate note, I do not think I’ll take your advice on buying used goods from eBay 😟 👻

[@danielschaeffer1294]

Astrakhan overcoats often show up in Edward Gorey cartoons, worn by men with handlebar mustaches and bad intentions.

[@05Rudey]

I had the same thing with a pair of shoes, turns out they have souls,

[@martinbevan4015]

Comedian tony Hancock used to wear a astracan overcoat in Hancock’s half hour, he never had a problem.

[@viclucyzia]

Nice story. But that overcoat is really dated unless you go for old begone style. I like my two crombies and two other wonderfull shin length overcosts.

[@skipinkoreaable]

This sounds like just the garment to conceal a Muramasa blade...

[@Paughco]

A good one. Great story! I'll just stick with my black Filson Macinaw, thank you.

[@Nicholas-V]

I’m not usually much for ghost stories but that was quite entertaining. Great story telling.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for listening

[@lorettashumate446]

You should have been sitting around a campfire with a group of boyscouts.

[@viclucyzia]

You mean in the evening in front of the campfire surrounded by badgers and foxes

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Happy Halloween Ash. What a great story. Thanks for sharing it. I have a good one for you if you haven't already read it. The Signalman by Charles Dickens. Don't know why but this reminded me of it. Best regards Ron 🎃

[@TheChapsGuide]

I'll check it out!

[@alejandrovillanova5242]

Uncle Fester’s coat! just joking😅thank you for this fantastic tale

[@TheChapsGuide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ColinLack]

do you have any information on Victor Grim? I wasn't able to find anything on google but I'd be interested in learning more about him.

[@Bjartone]

Probably best to keep the horror stories at bay... Otherwise viewers will cluster to you like moths around a flame, and if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame

[@ianhindmarsh882]

Great story, Ash. I bought a lovely overcoat on eBay earlier this year. Unfortunately, if it had a previous interesting/scary life, its not sharing... 😅

[@TheChapsGuide]

Not yet, you mean.

Poor Henry! Solved one problem only to follow it with 7 years bad luck for breaking a mirror!💀

Too creepy. No overcoats for me.

He should have just went for a Chesterfield. 🤷‍♂

[@frederickrooks861]

Chap Nirvana :-D. That sounds like a place full of undressed women, not like somewhere where one should worry about his dressing. I get you message though.

[@francisheperi4180]

😊

[@terrydrums]

So, he took pictures of the old theater, but didn’t think to take pictures or video of the supernatural stuff? Hmmm… 🤨

[@orianoss4601]

When this video was suggested, I swear to God that under the thumbnail "666 views" was written 🤣 This is a good omen for Halloween.

[@MikeB071]

Very scary story! Yeah, I guess a possessed overcoat is worth 25 pounds (or roughly 30 U.S. dollars) if you're into that kind of thing...

[@teenoso4069]

Sometimes when watching your content, I think you would be a good author. Now with a repurposed garden retreat is a new direction calling? Regarding an astrakhan overcoat, I have seen them occasionally in Spaghetti Westerns of the late 60s like Duster Coats

[@Joe-cp5ud]

The least believable part is that he was wearing the overcoat indoors when he was performing. The rest of the occult stuff I’m here for.

[@carbonado2432]

the russian overcoat story is much better and doesnt take 30+ minutes. the one where he saves up for a coat and it gets stolen

[@ianf3536]

Celebrating the darkness - sorry but I’m not up for that. Let’s bring light and love to the darkness.

[@HunterHillbilly]

Ash, buy the coat.

[@jazzman1626]

What a disappointment it would have been, had the buyer got that other coat with the duffle coat styled fastenings instead of the immaculate beautifully buttoned coat in the eBay advert. Happy satanic deception day.

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Shouldn't we all be sitting around a night-time camp fire for this story?

[@colinpiper4386]

Google how Astrakhan coats are made. Hideous.

Dear Ash, as a loyal follower of your channel from the beginning I feel sorry to say that this is the first time one of your videos has disappointed me. I don't know if I'm one of the only ones who doesn't buy any of this story but from my humble opinion, let's leave stories of superstition aside and focus on the things we all come to this channel for over again.
