The Ghosts of Brooklands Race Track : Percy Lambert, Racing Ghosts, Arthur Moorhouse, Aviation

[@LanceHarding]

Hi Nicola, my grandparents worked for a Lady, Mrs Collins who, back in her younger days was a Lady racing driver who used to race at Brooklands.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I love this! Fantastic and interesting how many wealthy women enjoyed a spin around Brooklands! 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

WHO is this lady racecar driver Mrs.Collins....could she be related to Joan Collins from Dynasty fame she was also on Batman 🦇 66 as Lorelei Lee the Siren

[@joanneknox5091]

So enjoyed. Ghost Casebooks have become one of my favorite things to watch. I will have to tell you, Nicola, that my favorite moments are the ones at the ends of your films. Please keep them coming. They are wonderful and insightful entertainment.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I'm so glad! Thank you ever so much Joanne. I will keep the videos coming for sure 👻🙏

[@mikehughes4969]

I have been researching and investigating ghosts, cryptids and the paranormal in general for over forty years. As you might imagine, it's a rarity nowadays to come across stories that I haven't heard before. This is a new one. I thought I had a good knowledge of British hauntings, especially for an American, but you put another place on my wishlist of investigations. Thanks.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you ever so much and I am glad this is new for you. It is a bit of a forgotten gem to be honest but its history is amazing 🙏🙋‍♀️

[@davidprobert168]

Well that had me gripped unbelievable courage and madness they had. An imprint off his goggles on post ouch. Brilliant story to cover 🇬🇧🙏

Thank you ever so much. Yes it’s a rather chilling detail, I think! 🙏🙋‍♀️

[@benmason1469]

Absolute first rate . The research and attention to detail on this subject is far beyond all expectations . My family has been involved in motor sport for nearly a century . As well as my love for parapsychology and history .

Wow, thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the subject and how it links to your family. That’s wonderful 🙏👻🙋‍♀️

I was thoroughly engrossed in this story. The postcards were a lovely touch at the end, with the story of Mme. de Lempicka rounding it out. Nailed it!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Wow thank you ever so much! Yes I love those post cards. Funny how a motor car race begins with a race to the vehicles! Lempicka’ a work is fantastic, I think 🙏🙋‍♀️

[@suepalin9202]

What a fascinating video about the pioneers of racing who, sadly, lost their lives participating in the sport which they loved. I hope your unsettling dreams about walking around Brooklands have now abated. Thanks, Nicola!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Yes, they are on the way out now. I’ll move on to the net video and probably have dreams about that now! 🙏🙋‍♀️👍

[@richardmuir3536]

Another brilliant show made by you, and having heard many accounts of not just people but machine's witnessed by people including engine sounds too. Not only engined machine's but carigers horse drove have been witnessed lots of times by different people some in the same places. I believe that some sort of energy is amazing to let us see these things.agian thank you for your brilliant stories.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Oh wow thank you so much. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos and Brooklands is a very haunted place, it seems. 👻🙏🙋‍♀️

[@xsawbonesx]

@GhostCasebook I have to say, the way you relate your experience with art and the raw passion you exude is absolutely touching. Your story of standing in front of that beautiful painting and almost jealous guarding of it is something I can directly relate to as a massive aviation fan. I understand almost on a spiritual level exactly the emotion you're describing. Beautiful.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Oh wow and thank you ever so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the videos and yes I was very emotional at seeing the painting. It’s very small but it is perfect! Thank you again and I do have two haunted international airports videos if you are interested 👻🙋‍♀️🙏

[@bradsteele7762]

I have to say hats off to you for the research you do for these videos, it makes it more enjoyable for me to hear the back stories in more historical detail…..additionally the bravery of the drivers and pilots at Brooklands was phenomenal, huge respect to them.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I appreciate that and I agree. They were brave and daring souls to accomplish the records and experiments in racing and aviation that they did. Respect for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video Brad 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

[@angelsone-five7912]

That was very interesting and well presented. Back in the early 70s some friends and myself used to go down to the members banking on sunday afternoons to clear the trees out of the track, we would ofetn get chased off by security. One time I was walking along the top of the banking and I`ll swear a man in blue overalls and wearing glasses walked out from the bushes in front of me and then vanished !

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much for this. I wonder if you spotted the legendary mechanic and tuner Dan O’Donovan perhaps? I wonder if he returns there because he was responsible for tuning many of the record breaking vehicles there. I wonder? 🤔🙏🙋‍♀️👻

The level of detail you go into with the history of people, events, and places (outside the paranormal events) never ceases to amaze me. Another wonderful video! I love the Lempicka self-portrait near the end -- I need to look up more of her work. Very stylized and graphic, which I enjoy in art.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I am so glad you enjoyed the video and the history for sure. Yes, Lempicka is a fantastic artist who had a very unique way of painting. Rather iconic and very deco for sure! 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

[@nicolesaphir]

I lived in a house built on the site of the former Vickers factory in the early 2000s, and definitely experienced something ghostly whilst there alone. I was in the upstairs bathroom and I heard a bang downstairs followed by footsteps coming up stairs. I had the door open behind me and as i looked in the mirror I caught sight of movement which made me turn around. I thought my husband had come home early and went to find him in the bedroom. No one there. I checked the rest of the house, but also no one. Eventually i concluded that many had likely died working in the factory, and at least one was still there.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Wow that’s an interesting story. The bombing there was brutal and you may have experienced the energy of a former worker as you rightly say. I wonder? Thank you for sharing 🙋‍♀️🙏👻

[@ImWithBigRed]

All of your videos are good but this is the best I’ve seen so far. I live near Brooklands and adore the place. I could sit on the banking for hours just gazing. Many years ago a friend of mine was night fishing there, illegally, and he told me that in the very early hours of the morning he heard the roar of an engine then the awful sound of a car crashing. He doesn’t believe in ghosts but he packed up his rod and promptly scarpered. He never went back.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Oh brilliant and what a great story. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It sounds like a very active place right? Sounds like your friend was also spooked by a similar incident in the video for sure. 🙏👻🙋‍♀️

[@Hannah-ph9yu]

I went to Brooklands for a track day a couple of years ago, not knowing anything about its being haunted and was so interested that the area I found quite eerie, on the track by the bridge, is one of the locations mentioned - it all makes sense now! A fantastic video and the deaths are so sensitively handled, looking forward to your next video! ❤

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you ever so much. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you for sharing your Brooklands experience. Initially I thought this was just going to be a video on Percy Lambert, but then I found the other stories and I had to include them, so it became a bigger project than I thought, but I’m glad I included them 🙋‍♀️🙏👻

You are very kind and I am so glad that you enjoyed the video, despite its rather sad subject, I suppose! My relative is home and on the mend, thank you for asking 🙏👻🙋‍♀️👍

[@chriscurley7977]

Thank you, a wonderful video. Your account of the shock of Senna's death in 1994 was very moving, and made me think how very shocking it must have been for the spectators at the earlier races, and what high emotions would have been generated not only by the intensity of the racers, but by the horror of those who witnessed scenes they could never have imagined. The air at Brooklands must be electric with all those traumas. By the way, the newspaper account of one crash, (sorry I can't recall names at once) describing in pretty gorey detail how the telephone pole was marked by the driver's goggles, and that bits of wood were on his clothes, and all the injuries: I can't imagine any newspaper going into that kind of detail nowadays!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you ever so much and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I still remember the Senna death vividly. The Arthur Moorhouse mention of the goggles is chilling and also the Herman death, with the photographers hoping to get a snap of the bodies on the stretchers in the clubhouse is also a reminder of what the press were like, perhaps, at the time! 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

[@mattl3729]

This was really interesting- sad, certainly, but fascinating. They must just have felt immortal, like we all do at times. The rush overshadows the fear I guess. Thanks Nicola :)

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Glad you enjoyed it and I absolutely agree. There may have been a feeling of adrenaline over judgement maybe? I don’t know. But they were pioneers and I respect them so much as their efforts have changed racing, car manufacturing, aviation and made advances in safety across the board, I think. 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

This was a really well produced video. The use of pictures and the quiet moody background music fits perfectly and you have the perfect speaking voice for such content.

[@Phaaschh]

Nicola, that was a fantastic video. You really brought to life that strange, storeyed world of racing at Brooklands. Your obvious passion for the subject made it that much more appealing. The apparent reckless regard to life of the young participants just makes the era so much more poignant to us in our conscious, present day bubble of "safety". Like you I adore T de L's work- if ever one artist captured the zeitgeist, it was her. And her images only gather additional power with each passing decade.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Imola 94 was a cursed weekend, it was a miracle Rubens Barrichello survived his crash when his car went airborne during qualifying. He went from 120-0 in 2 seconds when his car flew into the tyre wall. Ratzenberger was killed later that day, and of course fate was awaiting Senna during the race the next day. Just an awful, insidious race.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I agree. It was an absolutely bizarre weekend and I didn’t know that about Rubens but thank you for sharing this with us. Do you agree that you maybe knew where you were when you heard the news about Senna? Thank you again 👻🙋‍♀️🙏🙏

[@hughjass2745]

@@ghostcasebook1266 I'd have been 12, so I'd have been out on my bmx with my mates probably. Earliest death I remember exactly where I was would probably be Princess Di, my little sister was watching Nickelodeon downstairs and rushed upstairs after the channel said viewers needed to switch to a news channel immediately, that Diana had died. That's still vivid nearly 30 yeara later.

[@stuartd9741]

I'm surprised Senna lasted as long as he did. Considering he pretty much started his career during the peak of the 80s turbo era.. With a reported 1500hp available during qualifying. 900~ during the race. We have to consider these early F1s were quite basic, with turbo lag manual gearbox s no traction control and all that power.. . I honestly can't remember what I was doing when senna died. Think I missed the actual race. My dad & I watched F1 religiously during late 80s all through the 90s on Sunday BBC sport NO adverts. Watching Mansell constantly breakdown, battling it out with Piquet and Prost..

[@ougal84]

Barrichello’s crash was in practice on Friday, Ratzenberger in qualifying on Saturday, Senna on the Sunday. Listening to this story, I thought Percy’s crash had much more in common with Jim Clark’s crash at Hockenheim in 68 (blown rear tyre and into trees). Indeed, he was very much the Senna of the 60s and was Ayrton’s hero.

Hi Nicola What a wonderful video. Your narration certainly showed the excitement, danger and allure of motor racing. It’s cool you followed F1; didn’t know that. I’m not surprised your research into fatal accidents affected you so much. As you research each accident you get to know the competitor a little, then the horror of the accident and it’s details take on a slightly personal aspect. Thank you so much for the mention. I really was not expecting that; bless you. I really enjoyed this video; you did well. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing it all together and sharing with us. Hope you had a good weekend; stay safe. 👍🙏📷😀♥️😱

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thanks Neil! Yes, I did follow F1 back in the days and when I was at university when I had the time to watch it. I loved Michael Schumacher and it was a lot of fun to watch. I could probably get back into it and the coverage on the tv today with all the technical behind the scenes stuff is incredible but to be honest, I would miss Murray Walker, I think. My mother in law watches it and she’s nearly 90! Glad you enjoyed the video and the subject. I had to mention you and you can see now why I had to ask. With Arthur Moorhouse, some journalists at the time said he had a problem with his exhaust on his Indian but it seems he died reaching down with one hand and seconds later he hit the telegraph post. Chilling about the imprint of his goggles though. Yes, lots of crash images and details but I’ll move on to the next video now. But I’m glad I have highlighted these brave people who are probably largely forgotten 🙏🙋‍♀️👻👍

To answer your "What do _you_ think?" question, some of those ghost sightings on that racetrack sound like a residual haunting to me, rather than souls returning from time to time.

Great video! Awesome video! Love the content. I'm always going to be up for learning more about automotive racing history. This was very eye-opening and was just a really great thing to listen to while safety wasn't as much of a concern as it is nowadays. There is one thing that's that was much more prevalent than than it is today and that is the excitement. The situation then was much more exciting than it is today. I mean cars were brand new and racing at these higher speeds on a closed race track was something that was all brand new as well. But again, great video. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next one

What a great video & a very informative interesting commentary where your enthusiasm for motor racing history (& ghosts) really shines through. What a shame though some British zillionaire racing fan hasn't bought a huge plot of land & rebuilt a replica Brooklands circuit. I have read the fine actor James Robertson Justice raced there.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Sadly the land has been developed and there are shops and houses now where sections of the track used to be. Also since Brooklands closed, other race tracks became more prominent I suppose, but Brooklands still has some vintage transport events etc. But it would be lovely to see a version of it restored to its former glory but I think the bumpiness of the concrete really was a nail in its coffin, ultimately. 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

I agree with you about the love of the sport, but you have done so well covering the stories. I really enjoy listening to your narration. Great coverage and detail. So sad though. Loved the pictures. I would like to visit the Brooklands track, and have some pictures to compare the track with. Well done.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I appreciate that. Thank you ever so much indeed. It is so sad but i have to remind myself about the thrill and mentality the competitors must have lived for.

Glad I'm not the only one that breaks out in tears when being so close to great art,, Me being a male I have to fight hard and try to swallow down the emotion that totally gives me a sucker punch in my gut,,, I wish there was a word for what happens to me when art does this to me and maybe it's something from a past life? Thank you once again for your channel and sorry I couldn't stay on topic from the video.

What a fantastic subject for an episode. Work hectic so time limited….. but I can always make time for a new GC vid. Loving your work as usual…. And a brew and cake of course. Did Mr GC have any input on this one 🤔🤣

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Hello and thank you ever so much! Glad you got the cake and a brew combo going. Mr GC was tasked with compiling a timeline of who died, when they died and under what circumstances and he did quite well on this task! (I sound like Alan Sugar on the Apprentice!) He had a motorcycle a long time ago so he was quite interested in the subject. He also went to Holland to watch F1 in the 1970s in a place built of sand dunes or something. I probably wasn’t even born at that time! He also had a 50% reduced Tesco raspberry cheesecake in the fridge to power his research! 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

And I think the energy and racing excitement that attracted these people whilst alive still attracts them once they have passed. And it is my understanding that people haunt places where they actually died.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much. Do you think people can return to a place they love even if they didn’t pass away there? 🤔🙏🙋‍♀️

[@ccasey1904]

@@ghostcasebook1266 Yes, it seems at least some can do this. The late American actor John Wayne - I can’t remember; I think it’s his boat. He is seen there regularly. There are quite a lot of stories about a lot of well known but corporally deceased people/ spirits that show up all over. Another example is Queen Elizabeth I, who is regularly seen (and felt!) going into the Iibrary at Windsor Castle.

[@thurayya8905]

I saw a documentary on TV, probably on PBS, a few years back about the history of racing where Brooklands was shown, but they didn't mention the ghosts! Very unusual, but what better to hold a spirit than very sudden death? One moment, you are vibrantly alive; the next, the most horrendous pain, and your physical life is ended. There is a similarity between the track and a field of war. I could tell by the emotion in your voice how dear this subject is for you.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much and I agree with you. It is the sudden nature of the death maybe combined with the thrill and speed? It reminds me of war and also perhaps air crashes that are so fatal. Yes, it really moved me making this video for sure 🙏🙋‍♀️👻

[@5amH45lam]

Well researched, detail-rich, fascinating content, with fabulous, brilliantly-sourced photography. All wrapped up with great narration and a subtle, eerie soundtrack. Fantastic work! Thanks for sharing your endeavours. I look forward to watching more of your content. 👍 By the way, I remember 1st May 1994 vividly. I was a massive F1 fan in the 90s too. Not so much now, but as a 13 year old lad, to see the enigmatic Senna die impacted me greatly. It was interesting to hear your thoughts at the end there. Thanks.

Another Great video ! I often hear about a connection between water and Ghost sightings, I'm sure theres more to it than that, but find it interesting that Brooklands was built on a marsh, maybe ground heavy with water has some kind of effect on the earths magnetic field, purely a hypothesis of course.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and it is true, it is near a water source that could account for the activity, maybe 🤔👻🙏🙋‍♀️

I got distracted for the last few minutes of this podcast and looked up finally to see the self portrait of the artist you were talking about and started to cry. I wondered what was up with me and then heard you say that you'd started to cry when you saw it at the exhibition ❤

Excellent as always Nicola. I do recall that moment Ayrton Senna was killed and how shattered I was. As a child I saw an old image of Wolfgang von Trips thrown from his Ferrari at Monza in 1961. That image haunted my psyche for years. I'm envious that you were able to view Tamara de Lempicka's Autoportrait in person. Art can be quite powerful when the actual piece is viewed instead of a reproduction. My wife had a similar experience when she viewed The Buddha by Odilon Redon in the d'Orsay.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you ever so much and I agree, that moment when they announced Senna’s death was so tragic. Thankfully things have improved these days but it was a very odd accident in itself. Thank you for the reference to Monza. The one that struck me as so awful was Roger Williamson who died at Zandvoort and I don’t know if you have seen the footage but his car is on fire and his fellow driver David Purley tries desperately to help him with a pretty useless fire extinguisher. The Marshalls did virtually nothing but it was too late an Williamson died when he probably could have been saved. It is harrowing. Yes, art in real life can be so moving but this painting really got me! Love the d’Orsay for sure. 🙋‍♀️🙏👻

Absolutely fascinating video, one of your best! It had me gripped even though, like yourself, I am not a huge fan of motorsport.

I’m sure there are ghosts haunting the routes on that island! There have been a lot of fatalities on those roads.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you ever so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I agree the Isle of Mann footage is amazing and what gets me with motorcycle racing is the angles they move into and how low they go! I’d be off that bike like a shot! I will try and look into this for sure 🙋‍♀️🙏👻
