This is reminiscent of the programs I used to watch in the 90s/2000s. No presenters running around screaming in the dark, just nice traditional storytelling. Thanks for the nostalgia

Something about a British narrator that makes a story even better.

I wouldn't mind it if this man narrated my daily existence, his voice is sooo soothing

Sewing by candlelight with a crackling fire listening to this....fabulous!

Been here 2 minutes..long enough to scroll the video thumbnails on the channel & realize this man has an epic storytelling voice. Couldn’t subscribe fast enough!

the narrator has such a perfect voice for voicing the horrific tales of all these locations. I found this site unexpectedly and i am hooked line and sinker.

I love and have always been intrigued by haunted places, especially mansions, castles, ect. However, I am such a wuss! I'm scared to death so easily I could never go in one! I have a lot of respect for those with the courage to film these documentaries. Thank you Sir, Well Done!

❤️ Im born in Gloucestershire, but lived most of my life in Scandinavia. I used to visit my parents when they were alive & The Cotswolds is my favourite part of Gloucestershire. I have been able to show my children & now my Grandchildren my heritage, which I am so proud of. Love your films & get a little homesick, but so grateful to be able to see even more villages in the Cotswolds.❤️🙏🏻so much.

I so love a cold, dank English morning. Perfect for a ghostly walk, around an ancient churchyard.

You are a gifted storyteller, finding your channel was like finding buried treasure! You are much appreciated.

What an incredible voice you sound more like John Hurt than John Hurt!!

Hello, from east Tennessee,USA! Love these Cotswolds stories!

I love Mr. Chakbra's voice💘. He'd have my full attention reading the phone book. Lol Very nice presentation! Thank You very much.

Thank you sir for this wonderful show, I was so engrossed in your story telling!! Happily subscribed and looking forward to more!

Anyone else use his voice to help them sleep? Works everytime and I notice I get more deeper sleep when I fall asleep to one of his videos.

Curled up with a decaff coffee, nearly halloweened out but this will end the night nicely. I don’t have a hat to tip, but I wiggle my stripey socks to you sir. Night all and happy Halloween 🎃👻☠️😴 🧦

The perfect voice for spooky stories

I am fascinated with and collect books on ghost stories and legends from Ireland and the UK. Thank you for bringing them to life. Visiting these places is on my bucket list.

Oooooooo I just love you to pieces Robin... thank you so much for being here with us and sharing such wonderful stories....💖💞💗💖💞💗

On one hand I’m sad that I’ve JUST NOW discovered this channel. But on the other… I’m so excited to watch all of the videos from their library! 😅

A whole town running a bucket line to ensure a haunting remains slumbering in it's watery grave, is dedication! Especially when the haunting took place hundreds of years prior.

I love this voice. I've been listening while sleeping, and it's so soothing. Also, while sleeping the action unfolds in front of me and gives even more depth to the stories. :)

Absolutely brilliant storyteller, thank you so much!

Couldn't hesitate to continue your gruesome tales so decided to continue. Hello Sir . Keep safe always 🙏

I love your originality, and the way you really show us everything spooky. I love your whole concept.🏆🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The scenery! 😍 Thank you SO much for adding that! Not only does it add to your incredible storytelling but it’s almost like getting to visit just for a moment. Love it.

Your dog is the champion of the Cotswolds!

Thank you Sir for spending your time in sharing this adventure should I say of the Cotswold Story Tales . God bless 😇 you and be safe 🙏.

Notwithstanding the show-appropriate ominous tone, one could listen to you read from the phone book, you have such a marvelous voice. Thank you for the spooky program!

You sir put out the best Halloween program I've watched this year. I've watched and listened to quite a few and I'm sure I've heard some tales before. None suffered by the retelling. Thank you very much.

Hello from North Carolina,US.Great stories,as usual.I know you've heard it many times,but you are a great storyteller Robin.Keep 'em coming,& thank you!

You have the perfect voice for your line of work. I rather enjoyed this more traditional way of storytelling.

well done storytelling, So many tails of hauntings. This area must have been filled with either high emotions that imprinted the land and ruins there, or maybe the land has some power from long ago that still exist today.

I used to live in the Cotswolds. I think I was visited by the ghost of a man who was hanged in my dreams one night. But I'll never know for sure. God bless that man, and I hope he can pass on to a better place. I'll pray for him one of these nights.

Love your little companion..what a trooper. Wishing so to be there to walk about to and fro

I absolutley love this channel. Robin Shuckburg takes us on a passionate journey and pairs it with his unmatched talent to narrate Britain's history, reflect upon it, and conjure a sense of sensible grandeur and nostalgia.

What a wonderful, warm and haunting voice. I can’t wait to see all of your videos; thank you.

brilliant, why have I never visited the Cotswolds? I'll have to remedy that. you have the ideal voice for narration, thank you sir

OMG 😱. Sure is freaky, weird and scary 😨 story in regards to the vampire 🧛‍♀️ . Got the shivers in how you approach and finish the story. Thank you Sir for narrating this story. I highly appreciate 🙏 your time. God bless 😇 you and, keep safe always. God is good and, He'll be there to support your needs 🙏. Good luck to your continuing your career and, wasn't able to finish your last story. But , got the subject of the remaining essay. God bless 😇 you and, keep safe always 🙏. Until then.

I think, sir, I could listen to read a grocery list and be mesmerized.

Sir! I say sir! You have got the perfect voice for telling scary stories on a dark night! Hats off to you my friend!

This kept my mind off my miserable illness today- so well done. Love the Narration. Canada is so very boring compared to England. Was fortunate to visit a few of these Villages few years.back. Charming place with so much interesting History! Well Done!

Thank you once again Mr. For sharing this creepy, weird and scary + freaky tales of Cotswold. God bless 😇 you and keep safe 🙏. Good luck to your next story . Until then.

Wonderful narration and thoroughly enjoyable. Strange after these creepy stories but I’m even more homesick for the beautiful Cotswolds.

Please do more ghost stories. Your voice is perfect for telling them. You've got me thinking I should visit the Cotswolds, if only to hopefully catch a glimpse of one of its many ghosts.

My nana and great nana were from Ipswich, I have always felt a pull to go to the UK and see it's beauty and to learn more about my ancestors and where I come from, thank you for sharing these videos and stories I'm a huge history and spirit nut much love from Washington state

I cannot get over him carrying a full on table lamp around 😂 This is wonderful

I don't know how I came across your channel but I'm glad I have. I've been intrigued by your soothing voice and content for several months now. Looks like I'm here to stay.👋👋❤

I absolutely love his voice! Perfect for ghost stories! Reminds me of the unsolved mysteries guy!

Wonderful & The highlight to our Halloween👻🎃 thank you 🎃👻

Enthralling story telling! The deep voice in a Brit accent helped create the right atmosphere too! I’m another fan added to your long list!

Just stumbled upon this masterpiece of a channel and now I'm completely hooked! I could listen to your voice for days! Thank you so very much for sharing your brilliant work.😍😍

I’m so happy to have come across your video! Not only is it a fantastic listen, but you have a very comforting voice too. Reminiscent of Sir John Hurt! 😊 Thank you for sharing this!

I do however have one story to share that I will NEVER forget. I was young and my teen sister and her friend were playing around with a QUIJA board. A spirit picked up named "Cuso". He said he was indian and that our newer community had been built over an Indian burial ground. I didn't believe and although scared I took to the board, and I swear that thing started moving erratically all over the board and it said didn't like me. The last chilling or intriguing thing he said to look at the stained wooden closet doors. He said he was watching us through it. We all looked all over the door and there in the woodgrain, there were two knotholes side by side, and a irregular knot that looked like a mouth. We immediately never used the board again!

I was home alone last night (Halloween) and was too scared to watch ! I'm going to watch today though as I love ghost stories. I always hoped I would see a ghost , but at the same time I'm sure I would be scared out of my skin if I did ! 👻 🎃

Happy Samhain to you all. I loved the work you did for an awesome day such as this!!😜👻🎃🌕

Love this man’s voice.

I’ve just discovered your channel, and this is marvellously spooky stuff. And I hope you take this as a compliment; but at first I thought I was listening to the wonderful Jon Pertwee!

He sounds like the Horned King from The Black Cauldron. Neat!

❤this was playing when I woke up and I absolutely love that accent so I’ll be listening to this man wherever he may be more often

The combination of travelog and spooky stories is nice.

Can't wait for the next installment! Such a pleasant terror!!!

Loved this! You actually just read these? I thought it was last year or before. I love Halloween!? Looking forward to more from you. Btw I want your doggy! Really. My shih tzu just passed after 15yrs together. Also our pitbull got sick and we had to say goodbye to him too. He was 12. And we lost our 10yr old jackrat in 2018. They are so much a part of your family it's devastating when their time comes. Is that a little terrier? Westie? He is so adorable! So obviously happy and tail wagging joyful! He obviously adores you. I've adopted one little girl. Chihuahua/Greyhound cross. Boy oh boy is she a character. Really wanting another tiny doggy to be our companion. And another pitbull for my fam upstairs. We love animals but I am really obsessed with dogs! And giraffes haha. Can't have one of those so.. 😔😉🐾 I so enjoy watching things from the UK and Ireland. Especially when there are many full shots of the lovely green countryside and the fabulous streets and buildings. I wish I could go there. My daughter and granddaughter love ghost stories. I have to share you with them! Thanks again. God bless and please be safe.🙏🇬🇧🕊️🇮🇪🇺🇲👻🎃

Thank you dear Sir I have been looking for such a channel as this for awhile!! Just what I need, especially at night! Perfect! 🇬🇧⚔

I could listen to your voice tell me any story , any time , soothing , eerie , slightly intense but a trust worthy tone , vast vocabulary and delivered with smooth soothing style. The Macabre is your Christmas pudding , I love your voice 🤙🏽

What a wonderful storyteller and character you are Sir!

29:41 I can’t believe you didn’t mention the song! The Mistletoe Bough The mistletoe hung in the castle hall, The holly branch shone on the old oak wall; And the baron's retainers were blithe and gay, And keeping their Christmas holiday. The baron beheld with a father's pride His beautiful child, young Lovell's bride; While she with her bright eyes seemed to be The star of the goodly company. Oh, the mistletoe bough. Oh, the mistletoe bough. "I'm weary of dancing now," she cried; "Here, tarry a moment - I'll hide, I'll hide! And, Lovell, be sure thou'rt first to trace The clew to my secret lurking-place." Away she ran - and her friends began Each tower to search, and each nook to scan; And young Lovell cried, "O, where dost thou hide? I'm lonesome without thee, my own dear bride." Oh, the mistletoe bough. Oh, the mistletoe bough. They sought her that night, and they sought her next day, And they sought her in vain while a week passed away; In the highest, the lowest, the loneliest spot, Young Lovell sought wildly - but found her not. And years flew by, and their grief at last Was told as a sorrowful tale long past; And when Lovell appeared the children cried, "See! the old man weeps for his fairy bride." Oh, the mistletoe bough. Oh, the mistletoe bough. At length an oak chest, that had long lain hid, Was found in the castle - they raised the lid, And a skeleton form lay mouldering there In the bridal wreath of that lady fair! O, sad was her fate! - in sportive jest She hid from her lord in the old oak chest. It closed with a spring! - and, dreadful doom, The bride lay clasped in her living tomb! Oh, the mistletoe bough. Oh, the mistletoe bough. (There are other versions of the lyrics)

So sorry I haven't discovered your channel sooner. Really enjoying it! Keep up the good work.

Love the voice and such a good story teller with soothing accent in the under tone . Perfect for bedtime stories 😊💖

God he sounds like Richard Burton of war of the worlds

This is an absolutely top notch production!! Fantastic storytelling, extremely immersive narrator/narration & beautiful locations! thank you for putting so much effort into this content!

We are visiting the cotswolds this very week and enjoyed delicious meal in “The Ragged Cott” today. Beautiful area. Wonderful storytelling.

You would make the perfect Dr Who! An epic storyteller to lull me to sleep after a long day! Thank you so much!

I love a good haunting Cotswold story.

🕯I love your voice 🥀💀🥀 love the stories being told🖤🪦🖤 perfect for these cold winter nights by a crackling fire🕯

I'm really loving your channel. So looking forward to exploring haunted places in the UK one day. Your ghosts are truly old. Ours in NZ are more recent. Love from NZ

Only a true Englishman can properly narrate accounts of European History or a good Ghost Story. This gentleman is fantastic.

I’m here because I believe Halloween is an all year round event… only discovering your channel today. Im a new subscriber! This is a great find!

The whole UK landscape is the worlds biggest graveyard . No wonder it is also the most haunted section on planet earth.A lot of history and Death 💀.

I watch this all the time and love it more each time I do.

Just found this channel and I'm already hooked. This voice! It grips you and draws you into the story. 😵‍💫

Sir your voice and story telling are wonderful to listen to.

This is too cool... Happy Halloween everyone...

The Sarah Tomb story MATCHED up a LOT with what I've heard Ed and Lorraine Warren say about VAMPIRES!!

Love these stories, thank you for your dedication & research. XXX

Incredible stories and an amazing voice, just brilliant! Instant sub!

Sweet. Just handed out cans of soda to trick or treaters in Los Angeles, ready to relax with your ghost stories. Your link is perfectly timed! Happy Halloween. 😳🎃

Love this video...I bought Ghosts & Witches of the Cotswolds years ago when my wonderful parents took my brother & I to Bourton on the Water...We all loved it so much we went back several times.... Plus the story of Catherine Parr..you said she was the only queen to survive Henry V111....Don't forget poor 'cast off' Anne of Cleves...she outlasted all of them! 😊

The way he tells the stories with all the details etc is excellent and now I'm hooked really luv it 👍

Hey cot’s thanks again, I happen to be watching three day’s before Christmas 2022. Thanks again.!!!

This was fabulous! I am from California, but I have been to England several times, including my honeymoon. We stayed at the Lamb Inn on Sheep Street in Burford. It was during the Burford Festival, so there was lots of singing in the pub and travel in the area. It was our home base as we went to Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and Stonehenge, which we visited during the Summer solstice, completely by accident! I hope to return some day and for much more than three days!

I love his voice!!

Excellent tour ! An absolute delight to listen to Robin! 💕

I'm so glad I have stumbled across your channel.. amazing!! 💗

Possible some of the best storytelling i've heard. Thank you.

At the risk of being in trouble with RU-vid. For the love of all that is holy make more ghost shows. I have watched probably 10 thousand hours or more of ghost shows and have read hundreds of books and I can say that your programming is absolutely top notch!!! And should have 100s of hours more of ghost stories from around the UK. Everything about your channel is perfect and should include tales from all over the UK!!

I enjoyed listening to your tales! ☺️. Thank you for sharing ☺️🤗

💙💯 Loved these from start to finish. Super fresh content and presentation was flawless. Bravo Sir✌️💙

Great channel! Your voice reminds me of John hurt. I grew up watching Jim Henson's the story teller so I'm having a great time here! Thank you!
