Hello. We did use AI to generate a handful of the images in this video. This was an experimental period before we understood AI and decided to no longer use AI in our videos. The script was written and narrated entirely by humans.

When I was at primary school, about 6 years old (this was mid 1970's), we had a day trip to the Longleat Estate, Wiltshire.<br>It's a beautiful Elizabethan manor house in grounds and was built in the 1560's. It's the home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Bath.<br>My mum came as an extra pair of hands to help out.<br>During the tour, mum noticed I appeared to be watching something moving. She asked me what I was looking at. I replied, 'The pretty lady in the grey dress'. She couldn't see anyone.<br>At the end of the tour, she spoke to a guide. Evidently, a previous Lady Bath has been seen. They call her the Grey Lady.

Here is a fun fact Dorothy's father Colonel Robert Wapole aka Rob Snr. currently holds the world record for the most overdue library book with the book the Archbishop of Bremen being overdue by a total of 288 years.

When I was a child we visited Chillingham Castle on a school trip. We were greeted by an old lady who was dressed in period costume and spoke strangely. She told the bus driver where to park. Later in the visit when asking what she was called we were told she wasn’t a member of staff and was not known to anyone. Scary eh?

Actually, it was easier to make double exposures with the old cameras because they required longer exposure times. You could make a blurry image by having someone move during the exposure. You could also make them look transparent by doing a half exposure with them absent and another half exposure with them present.

In the 80's I knew the Chauffer and cook from RAYNAH HALL, a husband and wife, who had been their most of their lives, they were both in their 70's then. Both would talk about the ghost, both claimed to have seen her and neither were frightened of her. In their words, "She was part of the family."

The British Isles is unquestionably the most haunted place in the world. The atmosphere, weather and an ancient past all help to make it eerily creepy.

The story of the 'Brown Lady' turning to smile at the men behind the door, complete with that eerie photograph, is truly spine-chilling!

I had a friend who lived in England for a few years, and she swears that one of her roommates was the world’s most irritating ghost. According to her, he (she was sure it was a man) would slam doors, knock over potted plants, leave the fridge open, mess with the lights, and leave the toilet running. It got to the point where she wasn’t scared of him anymore, but just annoyed. She would yell at him to knock it off, and sometimes the spooky behavior stopped when she did that! I’m skeptical of ghosts, but I have to admit that she’s very trustworthy.

Have you ever heard about Headley Grange? Its an old home in the English countryside that has long been runored to be haunted, and was used by bands like Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and Fleetwood mac as a writing/recording retreat.

Absolutely love the balanced view on these. Not just assuming everything is supernatural and trying to be sensational.

Almost 20 years ago when I lived in London, I had a very creepy experience while walking in the Finsbury Park Cemetery, in a late afternoon, in December 2004. As soon as I entered into this location I felt almost immediately a weird feeling that left my spine cold, but I walked in anyway. After a few dozens meters I couldn't continue anymore. Three or four persons who where seat down along those alleys, did not stop staring at me (and so far I don't know why). I tried to go ahead but this weird feeling kept me from going on. I remember the next Saturday I invited a friend to go along with me in this cemetery as I'd like to take pictures of some tombs dating back to the early 1700 (here in Brasil, we do not have those so old cemeteries so I thought it's interesting to take pictures of them so that I could show it to my friends) but I hadn't said anything about my weird experience I had week before. When we entered into this cemetery, again, some weird people who were seat down in the same place as they were in the last week, started staring straight at me as if there's only me in this cemetery (and there were lots of persons passing by! As I was accompanied by this friend, I kept walking through that alleys in that dark afternoon. However at certain point, one of those persons who stared at me, stood up and headed straight into my direction without even blinking. To avoid eye contact I veered off and pretended I was taking pictures of some tombs nearby. This guy stood behind us without saying a word. My friend then says to me "Falcon, is it me or those guys are looking fixedly at you?" I almost passed out when I heard it. But, as a good "macho man" I smiled at him and kept walking and holding my camera. But, when he said "Falcon, have you noticed this guy behind us is walking on those gravels and we cannot hear any steps or sounds?" Man, when he said it, I had to exit the cemetery quickly. Then when we got home I told him the experience I had a week before. So far, I have never forgotten this weird experience, ever, although I have no idea what's going on. I cannot say it's a ghost as I do not believe ghosts exist, but all I can affirm is to this day I have no idea what happened there.
