We Explore A Haunted Forest - The Ancient Wistman's Wood in England 4K

Join us as we explore a haunted forest in England known as Wistman's Wood. Wistman's Wood is what's left-over from an ancient forest that covered a lot of Dartmoor in 7000 BCE, before Mesolithic hunters/gatherers cleared it around 5000 BCE. Today, Wistman's Wood is a fairy tale playground filled with witch like branches and stones covered in otherworldly moss that is said to be haunted.

You two are consistent. Your respect for the property rights, of celebrities and their neighbors, when doing those storylines, applies to the respect for the protection of nature, as you tell those tales. If their are boundaries, not to be crossed, you two do not cross those boundaries, no matter the content you really wish you could do.

I love that you followed the rules of the sign and respected the wood. That was so good of you. I'm familiar with this wood - my mother was born in a village near here. She used to tell us that the trees come alive at night. She called them the wood spirits. You captured the essence of the wood perfectly. Thank you for a GREAT video. ❤

I live in Plymouth, not far from these locations. I’m sitting here in the semi-dark whilst my wife gets our baby son to sleep on the sofa. My daughter is entertaining herself. We have Enya - Aniron, playing in the background. This is what it feels like to be British. Green rolling countryside, mystical music. Stories of druids, fairies and goblins. Just discovered your channel. Thank you. There are a lot of levels on the moors. I personally have seen something at Postbridge that haunted me and triggered sleep paralysis for months. You might also like the tale of Kitty Jay’s Grave. P.s the stone walls you see on the moor were built by French and American prisoners housed at Dartmoor Prison during the Napoleonic Wars.

The oldest oaks appear to be 400-500 years old, and originated within a degenerating oakwood that survived in scrub form during two centuries of cold climate. In c. 1620, these old trees were described as "no taller than a man may touch to top with his head".The wood is home to the incredibly rare Horsehair lichen (Bryoria smithii) which is found at only two sites in Britain.

🙌 That was heart-achingly beautiful, particcularly to moss-lovers such as myself. It might even be alternately called, “Wistful Wood”. What species of tree populate that wood?

I live very close to Wistmans Wood in Plymouth. I love the eeriness of Dartmoor and it's immense beauty & wildlife. The Hounds of The Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle references 'The Hell Hounds' of Dartmoor based at Wistmans Wood. I cannot tell you how happy I am that you have experienced the beauty and wildness of Dartmoor. Love you both lots and thank you for featuring this magical wood that's on my doorstep. Please visit Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, the legendary home of King Arthur. Also Dosmary Pool, (Excalibur pool). The famous haunted inn, Jamaica Inn is very close to Dosmary Pool & the incredibly magical St Nectans Glen waterfall is near Tintagel. It's very spiritual and a very mystical place. Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft also a must visit near Tintagel. Enjoy your stay in England. Love watching your adventures! Hope that you move here as absolutely love you guys. Thankyou ❤
