Haunted Places in Cheltenham | Ghostly Trails 

I can never get sick of this town . Love it through and through . We can trace my famalam here at least since 1650 - so I love the history of this place and surrounding areas

@@sphynxster06 Wow! 1650! That’s amazing! I haven’t dug too deeply but I can trace my great grandfather back to being the son of a butcher who owned a shop in Tivoli in the 1800s. Don’t know much about my Dad’s side as we don’t have contact but I’ve been told their history in the town goes back. My mum went to Pates girls school and said there was a plaque naming one of my dad’s ancestors as a benefactor dating to the 1700s. (Don’t want to give his family name as it’s extremely uncommon and would make me identifiable to him) I echo your sentiment about loving the history of this place and surrounding areas. We have so much on our doorstep!

What a romantic way to describe our town. Love this.

I lived in Charlton Kings from the mid 70’s - the early 80’s. I try to get back as often as a can. Love shopping here, though Cavendish House is looking a bit sad these days.

I couldn't agree more!

Fascinating! Anything else?

Agree 👍

And/or audiobooks (Ghosty ones)

To note: as the billow waved past my face literally in my face - I jumped up and said to my friend did you see that. My friend sat beside me had. We were all pretty shook up. Thing happened so often there I calf I was first home from work I would wait outside or nearby until a mate was home 😂 the rent was 35£ each a week that was 2008 ish - well cheap . I now know why lol

Mate that’s mad! I almost bought that house on Henrietta street and the one next door when both came up for sale recently. Not enough garden (if you can even call it that) and would have cost a bomb to restore. But thought it’d be handy for the frog and the brewery! We loved in several places all had ‘unusual’ activity. A townhouse on Albert place next to the ABC park that was at one time used as a school where you could hear footsteps running up and down the stairs all day even when you were home alone. A flat in a Georgian mansion on Douro road where things kept disappearing and then then reappearing in weird places. A cottage in marsh lane where the ghost of a dog used to bark at the window but disappear as soon as you opened the window! The house I grew up in in Hester’s way where I saw an old man tell me not to stand too close to the fire and as he turned I could see he was burned and then the nice lady dressed like from the 30s who turned my lamp back on for me after my mum came in and turned it off because I was afraid of the dark. I remember seeing a monk walking along the old bath road whose feet were sunk half in to the ground up to his shins. And just ask anyone in the Norwood and they will tell you not to be the last one in after closing. Any place with so much history has its ghosts. Most people just dismiss what they see as something else.

@@LyraDavis for real they do . I feel privailedge to have seen so much. Ive scarier moments actually when I think of it. But yes so many hauntings I. Such a small place - as is chelt. But yes you had a lucky escape - thing were happening daily 😬 in the Henrietta stree one ! Could see black fogs floating round constant people running up and down stairs, so much so that you would go into hall confused to see who had come down stairs knowing g no-one was up there anyways. Lol non- stop. it was a stressful place to live tbh.

@@sphynxster06 nice to know I didn’t pass up a bargain for nothing!

Amen.

❤❤❤

The shot just after it is Chipping Campden, so I suspect the stone tower is somewhere else entirely.

I lived in CK in the mid 70’s

I think he actually has audiobooks.

@@cindchan Hi. I found 'A Christmas Carol' on COTSWOLD EXPLORER . Do you know of any others?

Robin does indeed narrate audiobooks, there's a whole collection of ghost stories here: cotswoldshop.co.uk/collections/audiobooks

@@ghostlytrails That's great1 Thank you. 🙂

I saw it.

True. The oldest - pre-19th century - bits of Cheltenham are the Minster and the western end of High Street - it was a large village or small town before the rapid expansion from c. 1800 onward. I wonder if it's more 'nobody shows much interest in the pre-19th century history' rather than 'there isn't any.'

I know it's real cause I've heard it my self
