The Ghosts of Dunster Castle, Somerset, England. A very haunted Castle, my incident in the Crypt. 

This is great! And even greater my partner got out of throat surgery yesterday! NO CANCER! I'm SO HAPPY! ☺️👻❤

My Stepfather took me and my Mum here in the late 70s, My Stepfather was evacuated to the Castle during the war, he recalled waking up in the night with a Templar Knight in chain mail armour and sword standing over him just watching him silently. He would Draw me a picture of him and recalled the story to me again a few years ago before he died. Thanks Nicola.

I live nearby ! I bought a table that once lived in the castle and for weeks afterward things in my house went a little strange. Knocks , bangs and whatever was on the table had moved by morning. I live alone !

Many years ago, I was a volunteer worker at Dunster Castle. According to locals, the 7ft giant was a beggar who wandered between nearby villages and towns, asking for food. This apparently angered William, who imprisoned the giant in the castle dungeons. The giant died of starvation and neglect.

I ENVY that you’re in ENGLAND & almost everywhere you go, you’re surrounded by history. Thank you for your post’s. They are awesome!!! Great narration!!!

Absolutely brilliant as one earlier commenter said we get two wonderful threads here, history and supernatural encounters. I am especially taken by your willingness to report your own personal experiences, you have a real gift, these set your channel into the exceptional. Thank you for all you do

Cromwell was an evil man. When the Restoration came, just about everyone was happy to see an end to him 😅

What an amazing castle. I love the history as much as the ghost stories.

Until you found this place, I had never heard of it. I went to the UK many times when I was younger. This place seems like a gem (I agree with you).

I'll always remember visiting the church at Napton Village in broad daylight and there was 3 of us. We could all hear the organ playing. Then I looked through the door glass and not a single person was inside. Door was unlocked we all walked in and the organ was well and truly locked up. None of us could explain that 🤔 The locals do say that two sisters apparitions have been seen kneeling down facing the Altar and wearing Tudor style clothing 👻 Loved your video I'm sure you were shocked I could tell from your voice. But I'm sure your ok now 👍

That photo of the figure behind the rope is quite extraordinary. Also, your experience with the 'sniffing man'...creepy!

An amazing castle, that's for sure. It is packed with so much history.

This was utterly brilliant, wow. The piccie at the end definitely shows a figure, no doubt about it. My word, your encounter definitely shook you up, not pleasant at all. Agree, the noise may have come from outside, but I believe it’s unlikely. What you experienced was undoubtedly supernatural and a little creepy too. Well, this was definitely worth the wait, superb Nicola, great work and thank you. 🙏👻♥️👍🙏📷🥂

Your picture gave me chills! Brilliant vlog about the ghosts! When we went there a few years ago we thought it was very cosy for a castle! Loved visiting there!❤

Outstanding video ! I hung on every word. Wow. Fascinating. Thank you Nicola 💕

Spooky goings on in a breathtaking place!!! I would love to tour it❤❤ thank you for sharing your amazing craft my friend 😊

That was well worth the watching. Very well done Nicola. Cheers 👍

When I was 9 I was taken to Thornton Abbey at Thornton Curtis in North Lincolnshire only the gatehouse still stands. I was walking round with my family and felt the sense of someone following me but no one was there. Later my family was talking to the owners at that time and they told us a monk had sold Abbey property so had been walled in in the church his remains had been found sitting at a table. He is apparently known to haunt the gatehouse. I am a sensitive but didn't know I was at that time, I was very scared of the place and when taken back I refused to go in

what a fab place. I've never been there....well worth a visit, I reckon. It sounds thoroughly haunted. Your experience was definitely a haunting. How fascinating. That poor guy chained up and starved to death.....how cruel. I loved the bit about the sceptics in the stables. Brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a beautiful Castle. Very spooky in places ! Ty Nicola..really enjoyed this journey with you👻

Wow, what you got was amazing! You can hear the "huh" in the one video! And that picture! It looks like someone is a suit who either looking at the ground, or looking at you. Creepy!

I've been through Dunster but never been to the castle would you believe! I know the story of the giant though. There's a similar one in St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. I don't have time right this moment to watch the entire video, but I definitely will later. Nice job Nicola, as always.

Looks good Nicola, heading off to lift weights now but it'll be the best video to relax with later this evening. Thanks for posting another great presentation 👍 😊. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

Hello there this was such a great visit! You can hear in your voice how unsettling and scary it was. Even just recounting that horrible experience in the crypt I could hear the angst in your voice. Thank you so much. That ‘blooper’ at the end was just perfect! I’m still smiling 😆😊😊🙏🏻

This brought back memories of when my family and I went to Dunster Castle. Although we never experienced anything spooky. Thank you Nicola I really enjoyed this video.

Another great video, I was very interested with your encounter and the magnificent picture of a ghost in the back room. Very rare indeed to get such a genuin pic of one. Very nice!

That must have been so intense. Spirits can be so pesky at times. I really enjoyed your coverage and commentary of this castle. Thank you💛

Very interesting, I appreciate you sharing your encounter. I do believe you had a lecherous spirit who wanted you to know what he was doing! Horrid man in life I presume.

The castle is so magnificent

This is a very interesting and great video of Dunster Castle. a lot of rather creepy rooms and looks very erie in places. The strange experience you had is hard to explain. Thank You, Nicola, really enjoyed watching. looking forward to your next video already.

There is so much fascinating history in this castle and the documented history in the area that I believe there was a spirit in the room with you who decided to whisper in your ear. It does not seem to have been an evil spirit or you would have felt things of an evil nature. It is a beautiful and fascinating castle!

We have visited dunster castle many times, unfortunately we haven't had any encounters with spirit's although it did feel like someone was watching you. Definitely going back after watching your video. Brilliant thanks 🙏

What an interesting video on this beautiful castle! Lots of paranormal energies there! Your experience in the crypt sounds terrifying! Some people are more open to sensing energies, as you probably are and also maybe why you are so interested in the ghost stories. BTW- you have the most beautiful voice and accent for narration. I've watched all your videos, I think this is the first time I've commented. Keep the videos coming - you do a great job. Thank you!

Crikey that looks like you have caught a ghost in your video, thankyou for this, absolutely love the ghost stories, dunster castle , I’m going on a ghost hunt next Saturday at a castle , first one should be interesting

A very compelling experience in the crypt. I felt that I could hear breathy voices in the video that you took and thought those were what you were pointing out. But someone breathing in your ear is absolutely terrifying when there's no one present in the room.

Dunster Castle is a marvel thank you for the tour and information! I was really impressed with your story, and thought I would share with you something that happened to me. I was asleep in an old hotel in the states, and at 4 am I heard footsteps. I thought it was someone outside the door. It was winter, I didn't feel like someone had opened a window, I was 5 floors up so no one could of broken in. It must be late night revelers going to bed. I then heard the steps again, and as I was groggy, thought...no...but all of a sudden, I felt the weight of a 200 lb man on my feet and legs holding me down....and I HEARD, but did not FEEL the breath of a man in my ear. I popped up out of bed so fast, and turned on the light, there was no one. My hair up on my arms, I grabbed my phone. The phone was not working at all. I looked down the hallway, there was a closet for coats...and the light was on. I grabbed a trash can, stomped down there to take a swing. I kicked opened the closet door, and swung....but there was only a swinging light bulb. ..... believe me .... I believe you. The sound of that entity breathing in my ear ... was very frightening. I BELIEVE YOU.

I have to compliment you on your crispness of diction and relaxing eloquent narration. A real pleasure to listen to.

You have done a great job at advertising the castle. I would love to go and see it. I did notice on the section of filming in the crypt, when you started tp pan right, there was an orb of light, drift from top left to bottom right of the frame, very quickly. I'm not a beleiver in orbs, but thought this was interesting.

An excellent tour of Dunster Castle 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍 I visited Dunster 2005….stayed at the pub….beautiful village indeed. Unfortunately the castle was not open at that time for renovations. Next time perhaps….to meet….the ghostly inhabitants….they often seek me out….when I visit old places….like Dunster castle 😄😉

The photo of the person you captured is amazing and so very clear. What a great catch. I think you definitely heard a ghost in your ear. If the noise was from outside you'd have heard it with both ears and automatically your brain would be locating it. Creepy. At least he didn't pull your hair.

Feeling scared and won’t let go of hubby’s hand when we visit, which will annoy him terribly. Thank you for sharing.🤗

What a stunning location! Do you get to visit many of these locations you talk about? You would make a wonderful tour guide for both the historical and more macabre side of things.

How creepy/exciting to have your own experience in the crypt. Having a strange man breathing in your ear is not the most fun way to have a ghost encounter though. The photo of the library looks convincing too. It definitely looks like a figure in black leaning forward. Very cool 😀

Dunster Castle is a really fascinating building and we have to be thankful that Cromwell's order to "slight" the castle did not destroy it as at Kenilworth, Corfe and so many other important buildings. My great-great grandmother who was called Charlotte Escott-Wood was from Dunster and like so many country people at this time- the 1840s, had to leave as the agricultural depression forced folk to move to the Midlands and North where pretty grim job opportunities in the new factories were available. The trouble with these supernatural experiences is they happen unexpectedly and sometimes one is not really aware- as some of the experiences you recount, that something strange is happening until it is over. Some are very strange- and I certainly had one that took place over about 20 seconds which was utterly bizarre but at the time I knew it was happening. A very interesting film on a number of levels.

Omg, it definitely sounds to me that you had a very creepy experience. I also believe you're an empath and thats why you may see, hear or feel things Mr. GC or others may not. Saging and telling ethereal beings to not come with you is a necessity for intuitive empaths like us

My goodness ive discovered another hr of pure joy thanks to this narrator 😘

If I got to walk down that grand staircase, I wouldn't leave after death either ❤❤❤!

I enjoy your presentation and stories about places I may or may not ever get a chance to visit for myself. I would like to mention that the experience you had with the breathy sounds in your ear can never really be stamped as 100% real by anyone but you should be glad to have had this happen to you,, it's your own little secret reach into something most never will know and you don't ever feel as if you need to get validation from others because there will be those that will try to make you dismiss it for whatever reason.

I really enjoy each episode. Pleasant and succinct narration. Fascinating histories. Thank you, again

I adore your videos! I'm "across the pond" and I'd never heard of some of the locations that you have covered, and they're all very interesting. I especially enjoy the postcards - very nice! I don't think you were imagining the sigh and sniff that you heard, and I probably would have wet my pants if that happened to me! 😄😄Thank you for all your hard work and excellent content!

I would say, that audio and visuals was energies from the past. Scary .😮😮😮😥😥

Another amazing video! Your experience is even creepier than actually seeing something but that picture you took is very interesting too. Thanks for another great video and for sharing your story.

I think you had a supernatural experience for sure! Very creepy! I think the photo you got of an old woman is incredible!! I will definitely visit this castle when I travel to England next June (2025) 🎉

It is beautiful. Stunningly beautiful. If I could I would love to live there, ghosts or no ghosts. And, even if nobody else is there you are never alone. Someone or something is always with you. I just can't get over how beautiful it is. And so much history lies within.

I have been very much waiting for this one!!😊

Wow Nicola what a creepy castle! Not sure I would like to stay there over night, or would I 🤔 😁 That must have been such a unnerving experience you had. Being sniffed by a lecherous ghost!! 😬 Hopefully the experience hasn't unsettled you too much. I must try go there one day. Brilliant video so well done. Looking forward to the next. Hope you and yours are all well. Thank you 😁👻 😬😁

So excited for this!

A really good video about the history of Dunster Castle but, having worked, and more importantly lived there for a year the ghost stories are just that, stories!!

It's nearly Midnight on Sunday here in NZ, and at the very end of a lovely but also very busy weekend, I finally found the time to watch this video - and feel proper creeped out now, LOL! 😅 Great stuff too, of course! So thank you very much, Nicola! 😊👍 And you have my compassion around those incidents that had upset you while at that castle 😌🙏

Thank you!

Hi Nicola, I've only now had the chance to watch your latest video and WOW what a video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Daniel has seen it 3 times he said the video was outstanding and he was right God that photo of the old hag at the end made me sit up you might have captured a genuine photo of the paranormal there try and look into the photo even more if you could unbelievable brilliant video one of the best yet.Well done again angel looking forward to the next one. Look after yourself angel all the love in the world from myself and Daniel.XXXXX❤️❤️👻👻🐑🐑👻😱🫣🏃🏻🏃🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love your channel! ❤ The spirits that live in these wonderful historic cities, towns, and properties are fascinating to me. ❤❤😊

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour you took us on around the castle AND, allowing us to hear your encounters with ‘ deceased characters’ still abiding there - my hairs stood on end as you recollected them to us !! Thank you so much.

Smashing video, both of the ghosts and the history of the castle. I love your videos, they are so clearly set out and explained. It’s like having my own private tour guide! How frightening and creepy your experience was! To hear a breath and a sniff so close, oh so unnerving. 😱

In the video you filmed, I thought I heard whispers...and at least one person speaking softly. Weird. I believe you honestly had an experience in the Crypt. The photograph you shared gave me the chills. I do believe you captured a spirit. I have only seen one ghost/spirit in my life and fortunately for me I had at least two adults and 7 kids taking a tour of the Battleship TEXAS while I was a public school teacher. We all saw the same misty shape move from left to right thru a bulkhead on the ship. No one had an explanation. Thanks for a great video.

I absolutely loved this video! The rich history of this place is definitely worth preserving and visiting. Hope I get to someday. I actually got chills while watching it, especially when you mentioned the experience of the man in the drawing room with the little girl and the grey lady. But I must say, I did laugh out loud when you made the breathing and sniffing sounds, as I thought of someone becoming a pervert after dying 😂😅.

Really great video about one of my favourite castles. I live Minehead and have been to the castle quite a few times and I never get bored of visiting, I just love all the history about the place. I learned some new stuff about the place that I didn’t know from your lovely video. Very interesting about your experience in the crypt, every time I have been to the crypt I haven’t been able to stay very long. On one visit I felt so sick when entering I just had to turn and get out, on another visit it felt like someone was standing right behind me but when I turned around no one was there. I also went on a ghost tour around the castle at night and the crypt was even worse, it had such an oppressive feeling nobody on the tour would enter. I also felt very uneasy and very cold in the stables and I also had a funny turn on oak staircase. 👻

Beautiful place. Glad you got to visit, and yes the breath on your ear and sniffing would most certainly be spooky. The pic with the figure past the rope is frightening.

Sorry I'm late, this was another lovely and interesting video, as always. Built in the 1420s, wow! That was the time of the Plantagenets, if I'm not mistaken. I wish we had buildings that old here in Australia.

This is amazing and terrifying! Plus, a full on history tutorial. Something for everyone! That lone foot in the blue kitchen, tho. that terrified a Colonel. Yikes.

Thank for this beautifully filmed and very interesting documentary! I am very fond of Dunster Castle.

Another fantastic video. Thank you!

Wow! All your videos are treasures, but this is one of your best!

There are places that you do not need to be particularly sensitive to experience the spirits who inhabit them. With Dunster's history this is no surprise. Trust your gut, Nicola, It sounds like a male from previous centuries was enjoying the look and scent of a pretty woman! EXCELLENT video!

It’s amazing to visit all the haunted castles across UK you should visit the Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland.

Oh that is creepy! Wonderful stories and footage, as always. Thank you!

Glad you had your own paranormal experience. I've been having paranormal experiences since I was about 2 and a half. It must be unnerving to have a first experience as an adult. Maybe they wanted a bit of sympathy,like "groan.....snifffffff"(suffered, I have).

Love the video!! Amazing haunted castle! Great job! Do you think there is a connection between the crypt and the stone staircase? Instead of something on the stairs projecting into the crypt (through the small window) it’s something in the crypt projecting onto the stone stairs? Your encounter with the ghost sniffer could be two things: 1. A slightly disgruntled ghost annoyed by all the living beings intruding into it’s area. 2. A curious ghost sniffing the neck of a pretty lady. Were you wearing perfume? Both situations would be creepy. Again, I love this video. So many ghost encounters. I would be frightened to either stay, work, or visit the castle. If I ever get a chance to travel to the UK, Dunster Castle would be on my list. Thanks for making the video. Keep up the excellent content. 🐑🐑🐑👻👻👻

hello again. What a weird experience you have had that's this beautiful place, 40:16 Was a really good catch, It almost looks like somebody dressed in housekeepers clothes from back in the day. Keep up the good work I really love your channel it's factual but spooky,💜🙏💜🙏💜

Great video, and love your presentation style. Yes that photo at the end looks very interesting. I need to visit!

What great castle's you pick to visit ive never been to Dunster but it looks fabulous and much to see and hear. I think i would have been scared to hear something/ one breathing heavy in my ear too. Thanks for taking us around this super place

Interesting history and spooky ghost stories! 👻That's a creepy experience you had in the crypt, Nicola. 😱 I've only had one paranormal experience. It was like out of the movies. A cold spot and I could see my breath. I instantly felt bad vibes. I was then informed the ghost of a woman appeared in that spot.👻

Great job as usual. I love your work.

Another great video. Creepy personal experience and that photo with the figure in it is definitely intriguing.

Im enjoying your channel! Neat to hear ghost stories from Europe, as always!

This was fantastic,thanks for sharing it! Also it seems the entity you encountered didn’t want you to have that footage! The other photo with the figure in it is really spooky.😮

That is some experience to have, thought i could hear breathing twice when you panned around in the Crypt room, amazing place, great video, thank you, Val.

OMG, I can’t believe what happened to you! That was awesome! This actually Monte’s Mom Paula. Love the channel!

hello ghost casebook love your RU-vid channel and your videos and your British accent

Great vid. i think you heard something . keep up the good work

Bloody hell, that photo is spooky, the way she is leaning, and head slightly tilted, doesn't look natural to me, i honestly think you captured a ghost, and i am still sceptical about them, but that photo gives me the eebi jeebies, brilliant video as usual, well done spooky girl 👻👍

Did you all hear all the noise and voices on your video of the bat room? Cool.

Nicola , this is a brilliant castle which I would love to visit, thank you for your great work, love Kim xx

Perfect editing and well chosen images...a joy !

So fascinating. My family pent a yearn the UK in 1983 but even though we frequented loads of National Trust buildings, we never got as far as Dunster castle. Such a beautiful place. As for your experience, I don't blame you for being freaked out. That would have sent more than tingles up the spine for sure. I feel so sad for the 7ft giant. Just because he was tall, yet these days it isn't a crime. One day when I finally return to the UK, I want to have a good look around and spend a lot of time looking through thee beautiful historical places. You are so very lucky to have history that can still be shared.

Very interesting and watchable. Thanks for upload.

Another excellent video!! I really enjoy your videos, such a great mixture of ghost stories and history!! Thank you for all the hard work you put into these for us!!🙂🙂

What an interesting day out you had Nicole! I love places like that full of History & Stories. In your picture with the strange unknown "Figure" both my husband & I see it but to us, it's not a Figure it is a Person. The interesting thing, is I watched this whole Film on my Laptop in my room, which is actually a small Spare Bedroom I use as a Study & Office. I watched the bit about your uncomfortable experience, then about your mysterious shape. As you were zooming in, I very quickly noticed something there, the closer the picture went, the more solid it became. I rewatched it a couple of times & then thought about it. I wondered if perhaps my Mind had been prewarned there was something there so that's what I saw rather than looking at it without knowing there was something I should see. So, I went to my Husband, who was in the Room that we use as a semi Library come Computer Room. I must point out that those 2 rooms are on Opposite sides of the House, you would need to have the Volume up to Full to even notice a sound from either Room to the Other. While it is a Bungalow, between the two rooms you would need to go through a 20ft Sitting Room, a Dining Room, the Kitchen & 2 Hallways to get to the other Room. So he wouldn't have heard your Narration. I got up the Video, got it to the bit in the film with you looking into the Room on the " Opposite side of the Rope". Left the Sound off. Sat him in front of it & let it run. At about 39:00 you talked about the Guide you had spoken to & at about 40:00 you were zooming to the "Figure" . Both of us saw the same thing at the same time approx. 40:6. Looking into the Doorway, Slightly to the Left & behind the Chair with the Red Upholstered Cushion, there is the Figure of a Person & we compared what we were seeing, we differed on 1 Aspect only. I said it was a Woman wearing a Long Dark Greyish Dress, Minus the Apron & Mop Cap from the 18th or 19th Century, you would expect a Senior Servant to Wear. It wasn't quite Victorian in Style, although it had long Sleeves it wasn't the Mutton Type with long tight Cuffs & Fuller to the Shoulder Tops. The Woman was older, with very Tousled Shorter Hair, as though it had been rubbed though by hands. You can see the lighter face, but not the Features well enough to describe. Dave saw it as an older Man wearing a Collarless Shirt & loose fitting Jacket Dark in colour, neither of us saw feet or Legs. The Bright Blob towards the top of the Frame is showing above the Persons left shoulder as they're facing you, their left hand is visible as the lighter blob above where the Chair & table sit the right hand appears to be holding a shape thicker than a Broom handle but the same shape, what it's the handle off you cant see, the protruding decoration on the shoulder of the Chair hides that but the handle is seen to that point. The head of the person makes it seem they are stooped, which is probably what gives us the feeling of age. What I find even more interesting, is how your Voice Changed when you were talking about the Guide you Spoke to being in front of the rope. It was very Shaky & fearful as if you'd received a Severe fright. Now, I would assume, you had filmed this prior to going to the Crypt. In the Crypt you were badly frightened. I don't think that was solely to do with the Sigh or Sniff, it was also the knowledge only you had heard it & that you had had a feeling of unease & there was someone in the Bat room. From how you describe it, it bought to my mind something I had read about. When I was doing Research for the War of the Roses, Sir James Luttrell was one of the Main Figures who died in the 2nd Battle of St Albans 1461. A Staunch Lancastrian, he was Stripped of all his Land & Wealth by the Yorkist Victors. One of his Properties was Dunster Castle & it was Given the The Herberts, a Yorkist Family from the North. The Luttrell family regained Dunster 24 years later when Lancastrian Henry Vll came to the Throne in 1485. There was a Short Paragraph concerning Dunster Castle, it was badly looked after while in Yorkist Hands, used to Garrison Men as Guards against the Return of Henry Tudor From France, with a French Mercenary Army. The Men of the Garrison were known to have Drunken Bouts lasting 2 or 3 Days where Local Women were abducted & Gang Raped, sometimes killed. A number of Charges were bought against them & there remains some Documents of Evidence in Official Sources. There were several Reports of abuse that what you describe would fit. Remember these would be rough & Crude Men. Perhaps what you encountered could be one of those Soldiers. However,I have heard it said before, that sometimes, in a place where there had been Great Suffering &/or Deaths, that place itself absorbs a memory, then the Memory can be rerun over & over again, not just of 1 but of many. Places where that has been reported include Auschwitz Buildings, the Bastille, & Bedlam. Even when the buildings themselves have been demolished, that Memory remains. I've never experienced such a thing, but maybe you have. I know one thing though, if that sound as you describe it, wouldn't have come from outside, for the Sound to be heard as clearly as you say it was, it would've had to be that Loud, there was no way Mr GC didn't hear it too. Besides, what would have made that sound innocently, perhaps an Asthmatic Attack, but the sufferer wouldn't be able to make that long Sigh Sound & certainly not from the volume it would have to have been. I wouldn't be surprised if you're a Sensitive, after all the time you spend on the subject, you're seeing & hearing things yourself, you wouldn't be the First. You can get help to learn to Focus but if you want to do that get help from a reputable Person, it can be dangerous otherwise. This was another Exceptional Video Nicole, Thanks.

I thought this was a very interesting telling of Dunster Castle. Thank you for the addition of your own experience. It was quite charming and eerie at the same time.

You must go back and have two cameras. This was fantastic!! Thanks
