WHO is this lady racecar driver Mrs.Collins....could she be related to Joan Collins from Dynasty fame she was also on Batman 🦇 66 as Lorelei Lee the Siren
I have been researching and investigating ghosts, cryptids and the paranormal in general for over forty years. As you might imagine, it's a rarity nowadays to come across stories that I haven't heard before. This is a new one. I thought I had a good knowledge of British hauntings, especially for an American, but you put another place on my wishlist of investigations. Thanks.
Absolute first rate . The research and attention to detail on this subject is far beyond all expectations . My family has been involved in motor sport for nearly a century . As well as my love for parapsychology and history .
Wow thank you ever so much! Yes I love those post cards. Funny how a motor car race begins with a race to the vehicles! Lempicka’ a work is fantastic, I think 🙏🙋♀️
What a fascinating video about the pioneers of racing who, sadly, lost their lives participating in the sport which they loved. I hope your unsettling dreams about walking around Brooklands have now abated. Thanks, Nicola!
Imola 94 was a cursed weekend, it was a miracle Rubens Barrichello survived his crash when his car went airborne during qualifying. He went from 120-0 in 2 seconds when his car flew into the tyre wall. Ratzenberger was killed later that day, and of course fate was awaiting Senna during the race the next day. Just an awful, insidious race.
I agree. It was an absolutely bizarre weekend and I didn’t know that about Rubens but thank you for sharing this with us. Do you agree that you maybe knew where you were when you heard the news about Senna? Thank you again 👻🙋♀️🙏🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 I'd have been 12, so I'd have been out on my bmx with my mates probably. Earliest death I remember exactly where I was would probably be Princess Di, my little sister was watching Nickelodeon downstairs and rushed upstairs after the channel said viewers needed to switch to a news channel immediately, that Diana had died. That's still vivid nearly 30 yeara later.
I'm surprised Senna lasted as long as he did. Considering he pretty much started his career during the peak of the 80s turbo era.. With a reported 1500hp available during qualifying. 900~ during the race. We have to consider these early F1s were quite basic, with turbo lag manual gearbox s no traction control and all that power.. . I honestly can't remember what I was doing when senna died. Think I missed the actual race. My dad & I watched F1 religiously during late 80s all through the 90s on Sunday BBC sport NO adverts. Watching Mansell constantly breakdown, battling it out with Piquet and Prost..
Barrichello’s crash was in practice on Friday, Ratzenberger in qualifying on Saturday, Senna on the Sunday. Listening to this story, I thought Percy’s crash had much more in common with Jim Clark’s crash at Hockenheim in 68 (blown rear tyre and into trees). Indeed, he was very much the Senna of the 60s and was Ayrton’s hero.
The level of detail you go into with the history of people, events, and places (outside the paranormal events) never ceases to amaze me. Another wonderful video! I love the Lempicka self-portrait near the end -- I need to look up more of her work. Very stylized and graphic, which I enjoy in art.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video and the history for sure. Yes, Lempicka is a fantastic artist who had a very unique way of painting. Rather iconic and very deco for sure! 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you so much and it is a creepy place! But at the same time I don’t think there’s anything bad there as such. The headless one sounds scary, though, having said that! 🙋♀️🙏👻
I have to say hats off to you for the research you do for these videos, it makes it more enjoyable for me to hear the back stories in more historical detail…..additionally the bravery of the drivers and pilots at Brooklands was phenomenal, huge respect to them.
I appreciate that and I agree. They were brave and daring souls to accomplish the records and experiments in racing and aviation that they did. Respect for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video Brad 🙏🙋♀️👻
Hi Nicola, thanks for posting another great video. I'm going to save it for later after a workout it'll be the perfect way to unwind after I'm done. Well done again 👏 👍
All of your videos are good but this is the best I’ve seen so far. I live near Brooklands and adore the place. I could sit on the banking for hours just gazing. Many years ago a friend of mine was night fishing there, illegally, and he told me that in the very early hours of the morning he heard the roar of an engine then the awful sound of a car crashing. He doesn’t believe in ghosts but he packed up his rod and promptly scarpered. He never went back.
Oh brilliant and what a great story. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It sounds like a very active place right? Sounds like your friend was also spooked by a similar incident in the video for sure. 🙏👻🙋♀️
Oh thank you! Well, I’ll have to investigate further but Brooklands really does have a unique history. Have you been there? There are lots of videos on YT that show the museum and footage of the track eto 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you, a wonderful video. Your account of the shock of Senna's death in 1994 was very moving, and made me think how very shocking it must have been for the spectators at the earlier races, and what high emotions would have been generated not only by the intensity of the racers, but by the horror of those who witnessed scenes they could never have imagined. The air at Brooklands must be electric with all those traumas. By the way, the newspaper account of one crash, (sorry I can't recall names at once) describing in pretty gorey detail how the telephone pole was marked by the driver's goggles, and that bits of wood were on his clothes, and all the injuries: I can't imagine any newspaper going into that kind of detail nowadays!
Thank you ever so much and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I still remember the Senna death vividly. The Arthur Moorhouse mention of the goggles is chilling and also the Herman death, with the photographers hoping to get a snap of the bodies on the stretchers in the clubhouse is also a reminder of what the press were like, perhaps, at the time! 🙏🙋♀️👻
The amount of research you conduct is truly monumental and is evident in your informative, compassionate, and thought-provoking videos! You really brought these people to life, and their tragic deaths made my heart hurt for them and those they left behind. Thank you so much for sharing your time, talent, and insights with us! I hope your relative continues to get better!
You are very kind and I am so glad that you enjoyed the video, despite its rather sad subject, I suppose! My relative is home and on the mend, thank you for asking 🙏👻🙋♀️👍
Nicola, that was a fantastic video. You really brought to life that strange, storeyed world of racing at Brooklands. Your obvious passion for the subject made it that much more appealing. The apparent reckless regard to life of the young participants just makes the era so much more poignant to us in our conscious, present day bubble of "safety". Like you I adore T de L's work- if ever one artist captured the zeitgeist, it was her. And her images only gather additional power with each passing decade.
Thank you so much and I am really pleased that you enjoyed the video. Yes, they were brave souls living on the edge, I suppose! Thank you kindly 👻🙏🙋♀️
Great video, my Uncle worked at Brooklands so it’s a place close to my heart. We live close to Brooklands and visit is regularly we will keep an eye out for ghosts thank you for this 😊
Thanks for sharing! Fantastic! Apparently some of the shops and houses have echoes of racing inside them as though the drivers don’t recognise the modern constructions! I hope you don’t see the headless one though! Frightening! 🙏🙋♀️👻
This was really interesting- sad, certainly, but fascinating. They must just have felt immortal, like we all do at times. The rush overshadows the fear I guess. Thanks Nicola :)
Glad you enjoyed it and I absolutely agree. There may have been a feeling of adrenaline over judgement maybe? I don’t know. But they were pioneers and I respect them so much as their efforts have changed racing, car manufacturing, aviation and made advances in safety across the board, I think. 🙏🙋♀️👻
An excellent presentation Nicola, thank you for the time and trouble you took to create and share. You're going from strength to strength, long may it continue.
To answer your "What do _you_ think?" question, some of those ghost sightings on that racetrack sound like a residual haunting to me, rather than souls returning from time to time. Especially when also the cars are involved. And that was absolutely marvellous to watch and listen to, Nicola! 😍👍 ...okay, and also quite creepy and of course horrific at times 😬 Thank you very much for another great video! 😊
@GhostCasebook I have to say, the way you relate your experience with art and the raw passion you exude is absolutely touching. Your story of standing in front of that beautiful painting and almost jealous guarding of it is something I can directly relate to as a massive aviation fan. I understand almost on a spiritual level exactly the emotion you're describing. Beautiful.
Oh wow and thank you ever so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the videos and yes I was very emotional at seeing the painting. It’s very small but it is perfect! Thank you again and I do have two haunted international airports videos if you are interested 👻🙋♀️🙏
What a great video & a very informative interesting commentary where your enthusiasm for motor racing history (& ghosts) really shines through. What a shame though some British zillionaire racing fan hasn't bought a huge plot of land & rebuilt a replica Brooklands circuit. I have read the fine actor James Robertson Justice raced there.
Thank you and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Sadly the land has been developed and there are shops and houses now where sections of the track used to be. Also since Brooklands closed, other race tracks became more prominent I suppose, but Brooklands still has some vintage transport events etc. But it would be lovely to see a version of it restored to its former glory but I think the bumpiness of the concrete really was a nail in its coffin, ultimately. 🙏🙋♀️👻
This was a really well produced video. The use of pictures and the quiet moody background music fits perfectly and you have the perfect speaking voice for such content. It all goes together beautifully, like ingredients mixing in a bowl. I watch a lot of paranormal-based content on RUclips and this may be the best video I've seen. You really nailed it. Good work. Please keep it up you have earned a new subscriber
Thank you very much! Goodness me what a kind comment and welcome to the channel. I hope you’ll have a look at some of the other videos too. I really appreciate your encouragement; it means a great deal to me 🙏🙋♀️👻
What a fantastic episode Nicola. So interesting to hear the history of Brooklands as well as the spirits who still roam there. Think this is my favourite of all your videos. Thank you for your hard work 🙏😃
I saw a documentary on TV, probably on PBS, a few years back about the history of racing where Brooklands was shown, but they didn't mention the ghosts! Very unusual, but what better to hold a spirit than very sudden death? One moment, you are vibrantly alive; the next, the most horrendous pain, and your physical life is ended. There is a similarity between the track and a field of war. I could tell by the emotion in your voice how dear this subject is for you.
Thank you so much and I agree with you. It is the sudden nature of the death maybe combined with the thrill and speed? It reminds me of war and also perhaps air crashes that are so fatal. Yes, it really moved me making this video for sure 🙏🙋♀️👻
I truly love your channel. We are Texans and we were so fortunate to live in the UK for several years. Our family absolutely loved everyone and everything about the UK, and still have many lovely friends there:) We lived in West Kirby, so the stories you've shared about Liverpool and Chester were truly fascinating and brought back fond memories and interesting history we've not known. Your channel is brilliant and I hope you continue to share your findings and stories! Xx
Thank you so much! I am so glad the videos bring back some memories for you. I’d love to go to Texas one day! It looks fantastic! Thank you again 🙋♀️👻🙏
We owe these pioneers a debt of thanks. Rest In Peace brave souls. Rest in peace also Kelvin Kiptum, marathon record holder who has been killed in a crash along with his coach.
Hi Nicola.... Thank you for posting this video. Don't laugh....the first time I ever heard about Brooklands, was from the series "Downton Abbey" As for the speed limit of 20 mph...also from "Downton Abbey".....it was the scene when Tom Branson was applying for the position of chauffeur, and explained he left his previous employer, because the old Lady did not allow him to drive over 20 mph.... Thanks so much for the info, and explanations. Hope you're doing well.
Yes it was mentioned in Downton abbey or as I called it for years Down Town! I don’t remember that about the chauffeur but it makes sense. I think they filmed the Downton scene at Goodwood but it was meant to be Brooklands itself. I think they captured the society elegance etc of being a spectator there at the time. I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure 🙏🙋♀️👻
This was an amazing video, so much detail and history, lots of film and pictures and actual newspaper reports. Driving those race cars with no roll bars or other protection was no doubt more dangerous than flying a plane in the day. Thank you for your diligent research and for the way you make these videos personal by including your own feelings and observations. Well done!
Thank you ever so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the video and all the bits and pieces that go into making it. Yes, I do share that it affects me as I am sure you can imagine but my viewers alway say such kind and supportive things to me. It helps. And I’ll move on to another video now and the bad dreams of bumping around Brooklands will fade away! 🙏🙋♀️👻
I lived in a house built on the site of the former Vickers factory in the early 2000s, and definitely experienced something ghostly whilst there alone. I was in the upstairs bathroom and I heard a bang downstairs followed by footsteps coming up stairs. I had the door open behind me and as i looked in the mirror I caught sight of movement which made me turn around. I thought my husband had come home early and went to find him in the bedroom. No one there. I checked the rest of the house, but also no one. Eventually i concluded that many had likely died working in the factory, and at least one was still there.
Wow that’s an interesting story. The bombing there was brutal and you may have experienced the energy of a former worker as you rightly say. I wonder? Thank you for sharing 🙋♀️🙏👻
Excellent as always Nicola. I do recall that moment Ayrton Senna was killed and how shattered I was. As a child I saw an old image of Wolfgang von Trips thrown from his Ferrari at Monza in 1961. That image haunted my psyche for years. I'm envious that you were able to view Tamara de Lempicka's Autoportrait in person. Art can be quite powerful when the actual piece is viewed instead of a reproduction. My wife had a similar experience when she viewed The Buddha by Odilon Redon in the d'Orsay.
Thank you ever so much and I agree, that moment when they announced Senna’s death was so tragic. Thankfully things have improved these days but it was a very odd accident in itself. Thank you for the reference to Monza. The one that struck me as so awful was Roger Williamson who died at Zandvoort and I don’t know if you have seen the footage but his car is on fire and his fellow driver David Purley tries desperately to help him with a pretty useless fire extinguisher. The Marshalls did virtually nothing but it was too late an Williamson died when he probably could have been saved. It is harrowing. Yes, art in real life can be so moving but this painting really got me! Love the d’Orsay for sure. 🙋♀️🙏👻
Thank you for an utterly fascinating video, I too love motor sports so this ticked a lot of boxes for me. I vividly remember seeing Ayrton Senna's last race and the utter shock of his death.
I've reacted to a painting just like that and totally know how you felt. Attending and exhibition and not knowing if that one artwork you love so much will be there. Turning a corner and BAM, there it is right in front of you...words cannot describe the overwhelming emotion that takes hold of you. Glad you experienced this too. Love your vlogs, keep up the good work!
Another Great video ! I often hear about a connection between water and Ghost sightings, I'm sure theres more to it than that, but find it interesting that Brooklands was built on a marsh, maybe ground heavy with water has some kind of effect on the earths magnetic field, purely a hypothesis of course.
Another awesome video and storytelling that I like very much Nicola. I just love that story behind the ghosts and their appearance and also the history behind every place you cover. 😊 Thanks Nicola for the interesting Brooklands History
Thank you GC. Loved this.!. ... Theres such a romanantism regarding the brooklands racing era the "blower Bentley boys" But it was quite dangerous. It's not clear whether those participating knew or understood the risks or dangers.. .. We look at it from a modern safety perspective. .. There was a brooklands racer called Louis Zeborowski. .. He was the original owner of the race car chitty bang bang. .. There's a bit of a ghost story there..
Yes indeed I did come across the Brooklands chitty chitty bang bang story a bit. I certainly saw pictures of it with a burst tyre. Is it likely the drivers at Brooklands would have lost fellow drivers, racers, etc and knew the risk I wonder? 🤔 Some of them died abroad trying to take records too including the motorcyclist I showed, Eric Fernihough who died trying to take a land speed record in Hungary in 1938 when he was 33. Very sad. 😞
@@ghostcasebook1266 Certainly different times. Like you pointed out, the guy refueling with what looks like a milk urn and people smoking. So much energy and emotion/ adrenaline, imprinted around that whole area not surprising there's some hauntings/apparitions. .. Louis Zborowski lived in a small Kent village, where he built his cars and raced his buddies around the village in their respective race cars. I do believe those cars had huge areo engines in them so would have been quite loud. .. Legend has it people to this day can still "hear" the cars race through the village! .. Just discovered your channel. Am going through your back catalogue... .. Love ghost stories instant sub 👍
Thank you ever so much for subscribing and I agree the danger in the pit stop there is almost palpable! I love the point about Louis Zborowski, how interesting that he still roars around there. 🙏🙋♀️👻
I agree with you about the love of the sport, but you have done so well covering the stories. I really enjoy listening to your narration. Great coverage and detail. So sad though. Loved the pictures. I would like to visit the Brooklands track, and have some pictures to compare the track with. Well done.
I appreciate that. Thank you ever so much indeed. It is so sad but i have to remind myself about the thrill and mentality the competitors must have lived for.
This is such a lovely video Nicola! Where do you come up with these lovely ghostly stories? And the car racing is so very British too. I hope your relative is doing better. ❤🥰🐾👻😊🙋♀️
Another lovely episode Nicola 🥰 I always love your postcard section. Those Art Deco postcards are just…wow! I have an LNER poster for the port of Mallaig in the highlands in my living room. We are heading to Fort William this weekend-can’t promise I will return empty handed 😅 Would love for you to do more Scottish themed videos in the future as you are inspired but as always anything you put together is always so fascinating ❤
Oh thank you! I am so grateful for your kind comment and I know, a gift shop is just too tempting! I have requests to cover some Scottish locations in the future, so watch this space, for sure 🙋♀️🙏👻
I've just recently discovered your channel its brilliant really enjoying im working my way through all the videos im even more jnterested as ive had some strange occurences myself while working as a school cleaner
Welcome aboard! Thank you ever so much for subscribing. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos and I hope you’ll find them interesting as you have a good look through them. If you would like to share any stories, you are always welcome and once again thank you 🙋♀️🙏👻
I watched this video as soon as you posted it. Having enjoyed it, I decided to show my husband. His jaw dropped. The following day, he was off to a business meeting. His office overlooks Brooklands. I’ve got goosebumps typing this. We live in South Wales. My husband works mostly from home. This meeting was a rare one away from home as most are done on Zoom online. Of all places in the UK, his meeting was held in the building next to Brooklands. 😮
He took me there this week. Fascinating to see the remaining piece of the original concrete. It’s now used as a car park. It was starting to get dark, I really wouldn’t want to be there late at night.
What a fantastic subject for an episode. Work hectic so time limited….. but I can always make time for a new GC vid. Loving your work as usual…. And a brew and cake of course. Did Mr GC have any input on this one 🤔🤣
Hello and thank you ever so much! Glad you got the cake and a brew combo going. Mr GC was tasked with compiling a timeline of who died, when they died and under what circumstances and he did quite well on this task! (I sound like Alan Sugar on the Apprentice!) He had a motorcycle a long time ago so he was quite interested in the subject. He also went to Holland to watch F1 in the 1970s in a place built of sand dunes or something. I probably wasn’t even born at that time! He also had a 50% reduced Tesco raspberry cheesecake in the fridge to power his research! 🙏🙋♀️👻
This resonates very much here for us, too. We are NASCAR racing fans here in America. This was the same feeling.. just stunned, absolute shock when the legend Dale Earnhardt was killed in the last turn at Daytona Speedway in 2001.
Hi Nicola awesome live ghost stories video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. He's big and happy. We're both enjoying your video. Next video in the future could you do fyvie castle in Scotland. I heard it's cursed and haunted 👻 by a five hundred year old ghost of a woman. Have a great weekend see you next video 😀
I love cars and I’ve always loved racing cars and bikes. I grew up in inner city suburb of Sydney ( Australia ) with a speedway track near by. I clearly remember, and treasure the memory, going to sleep with the sound from the cars and bikes. Couldn’t wait till I was old enough to attend, and that was that, addicted for life. This brought many of those memories back to me. Can’t thank you enough. Saw many horrible things and saw many wonderful things. Motor racing is the stuff of life, it’s about winning, of course, but there’s a chance that someone might die. Just a chance, but it reminds one of one’s mortality, in a truly weird way. I once heard someone say that it’s a gladiatorial sport - and it is, just a reminder that the greats of the sport should always be remembered and celebrated. Blessings,❤.
Thank you very much for sharing your love of motor racing from Sydney. sounds very exciting. Yes the sheer number of deaths in F1 in particular in the 1970s was horrible. I am pleased safety measures are better these days. I was reminded of the incident with Martin Brundle in Melbourne in 1996 and how just 2 years after Sean’s, improvements were clear in this crash: ruclips.net/video/CHOyIGToAZc/видео.htmlsi=zbEbOcfOalZOL3pl
@@ghostcasebook1266 WOW ! Thanks for sharing the clip. I’d forgotten how that all went down. It was a great testimonial to just how far driving safety, and technology, has come. Thanks for sharing it’s really wonderful that you did that. Truly, very much appreciated. 👏👏👍🌹🌹❤️
You are very welcome. In the clip, and this is my opinion, I think for a second, Murray Walker thought this was potentially another fatal crash, so you can tell how relieved he is when Brundle comes out unscathed! Glad you like it. It was a hell of a crash though! 🙋♀️🙏
Donald Davidson was a boy in the 1950's when he was riding the train next to the Brooklands oval and remembered his father telling of the long silent racetrack and the car running their. Later he became intrigued with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and went to Indianapolis in 1964 for the '500'. He went on to become the Official Historian of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway but would talk fondly of Brooklands if given the occasion. When I saw the photo of the train passing just beyond the banking of Brooklands I recalled his story and how riding that train set a path for his life.
VERY interesting as per!🧐👍🏻 I've been there,Reginald Alexander John 'Rex' Warneford VC of the then R.oyal N.aval A.ir S.ervice also slumbers there. 1/48 facsimile on way🤓(4 real!) Silence is a virtue...suffice...what a gal!Music,tone;superlative👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed this ghostly documentary of Brooklands though the thirties, the place is very atmospheric of that time, Very well produced and beautifully voiced . As a side note I to saw Tamara De Lempira's exacerbation with my girl friend at the time who was a big fan, it was fantastic , I drought if we evener see so many of her painting together again. It was very memorable even though it must be more than ten years ago now. A gait day out.
Thank you ever so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video for sure. It really was an interesting video to make but a bit harrowing in places! Did you see the exhibition at the royal academy? I bloody loved it! 🙋♀️🙏👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 Yes I did and it was excellent . I came across her wile researching a fashion model turned photographer called Lee Miler who was in Paris at about the same time and may well have met her. I think she was at her creative best in the thirties She really should have a documenty or film made about her amazing and colourful life. So nice who has herd of her and is so passionate about her work. Thanks for bringing back such happy memory's.
Hi Nicola, Always enjoy your videos.Now i was trained as a airframe fitter at BAC weybridge years back and worked the nightshift for many years. I am a sceptic but had some strange experiences there plus there was some very spooky areas in the long gone hangars and the race track .
❤❤❤ so excited to watch this!!! I ride a zx6r kawasaki and love my imaginary race career .... i take part in track days on famous circuits its such a thrill. Br8lliant subject xxx
Oh fantastic! Perhaps this is right up your street! Brooklands does till have vintage transport events etc but my goodness it looks terribly bumpy! I’m glad you can relate to some of the stories as a motorcycle enthusiast too 🙏🙋♀️👻
Glad you enjoyed it and it was a big undertaking but I found it really interesting. Initally I was just going to cover the ghost of Percy Lambert, but then I found out all the other things and I just had to include them! It always happens like that with my videos! 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the Brooklands poster is great and you can see more of them here: www.brooklandsmuseum.com/explore/heritage-and-collection/museum-blog/brooklands-vintage-posters
Glad you liked it! Yes, things really have changed and I am glad we have seatbelts now etc! But it took the pioneers to bring about change, I suppose. 🙋♀️🙏👻
Absolutely fascinating video, one of your best! It had me gripped even though, like yourself, I am not a huge fan of motorsport. A video suggestion for the future should be the Isle of Man TT, that type of motorsport really freaks me out, the speeds they go on those bikes is mind blowing! I’m sure there are ghosts haunting the routes on that island! There have been a lot of fatalities on those roads.
Thank you ever so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I agree the Isle of Mann footage is amazing and what gets me with motorcycle racing is the angles they move into and how low they go! I’d be off that bike like a shot! I will try and look into this for sure 🙋♀️🙏👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 exactly, the angles they go at are crazy! More power to them! I’ll take my vw golf over a motorbike, I’d be way too nervous to go even 100m on them haha! Thank you and keep up your amazing work 🙌🙌🙌☺️☺️☺️
Here is a thing:- The green Bugatti painting shows that it is left hand drive, but all "vintage" Bugattis were RHD Google says:- Bugatti EB110 (1991-95) was the first Bugatti with left-hand drive steering, starting the frustrating trend. All previous models - from the 1910 Type 13 to the T101 of '51 - were RHD, largely due to the firm's motorsport origins (most circuits run clockwise, thus favouring a right-hand driver).....Interesting Excellent video none the less...
I always feel like there’s a presence when you go through the double doors into the Bike display. Every time I go through there to the loos at the VMCC nights
Hi Nicola, my grandparents worked for a Lady, Mrs Collins who, back in her younger days was a Lady racing driver who used to race at Brooklands.

I have been researching and investigating ghosts, cryptids and the paranormal in general for over forty years. As you might imagine, it's a rarity nowadays to come across stories that I haven't heard before. This is a new one. I thought I had a good knowledge of British hauntings, especially for an American, but you put another place on my wishlist of investigations. Thanks.
Thank you ever so much and I am glad this is new for you. It is a bit of a forgotten gem to be honest but its history is amazing 🙏🙋♀️
Absolute first rate . The research and attention to detail on this subject is far beyond all expectations . My family has been involved in motor sport for nearly a century . As well as my love for parapsychology and history .
Wow, thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the subject and how it links to your family. That’s wonderful 🙏👻🙋♀️
I was thoroughly engrossed in this story. The postcards were a lovely touch at the end, with the story of Mme. de Lempicka rounding it out. Nailed it!
Wow thank you ever so much! Yes I love those post cards. Funny how a motor car race begins with a race to the vehicles! Lempicka’ a work is fantastic, I think 🙏🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 Couldn't agree more. Tamara de Lempicka was in a class of her own.
@@ghostcasebook1266 Bit like the RAF pilots who use to run to their planes and it would've been during that period.
What a fascinating video about the pioneers of racing who, sadly, lost their lives participating in the sport which they loved. I hope your unsettling dreams about walking around Brooklands have now abated. Thanks, Nicola!
Yes, they are on the way out now. I’ll move on to the net video and probably have dreams about that now! 🙏🙋♀️👍
I so enjoyed this video Nicola ! You are a wonderful story teller . I felt very sad for Percy.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the stories and the storytelling! You are very kind 🙏🙋♀️👻
Imola 94 was a cursed weekend, it was a miracle Rubens Barrichello survived his crash when his car went airborne during qualifying. He went from 120-0 in 2 seconds when his car flew into the tyre wall. Ratzenberger was killed later that day, and of course fate was awaiting Senna during the race the next day. Just an awful, insidious race.
I agree. It was an absolutely bizarre weekend and I didn’t know that about Rubens but thank you for sharing this with us. Do you agree that you maybe knew where you were when you heard the news about Senna? Thank you again 👻🙋♀️🙏🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 I'd have been 12, so I'd have been out on my bmx with my mates probably. Earliest death I remember exactly where I was would probably be Princess Di, my little sister was watching Nickelodeon downstairs and rushed upstairs after the channel said viewers needed to switch to a news channel immediately, that Diana had died. That's still vivid nearly 30 yeara later.
I'm surprised Senna lasted as long as he did. Considering he pretty much started his career during the peak of the 80s turbo era..
With a reported 1500hp available during qualifying.
900~ during the race.
We have to consider these early F1s were quite basic, with turbo lag manual gearbox s no traction control and all that power..
.
I honestly can't remember what I was doing when senna died.
Think I missed the actual race.
My dad & I watched F1 religiously during late 80s all through the 90s on Sunday BBC sport NO adverts.
Watching
Mansell constantly breakdown, battling it out with Piquet and Prost..
Barrichello’s crash was in practice on Friday, Ratzenberger in qualifying on Saturday, Senna on the Sunday. Listening to this story, I thought Percy’s crash had much more in common with Jim Clark’s crash at Hockenheim in 68 (blown rear tyre and into trees). Indeed, he was very much the Senna of the 60s and was Ayrton’s hero.
@@ghostcasebook1266 I was back in my inlaws' living room, also watching in horror. Just awful. And what a long time ago now.
The level of detail you go into with the history of people, events, and places (outside the paranormal events) never ceases to amaze me. Another wonderful video! I love the Lempicka self-portrait near the end -- I need to look up more of her work. Very stylized and graphic, which I enjoy in art.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video and the history for sure. Yes, Lempicka is a fantastic artist who had a very unique way of painting. Rather iconic and very deco for sure! 🙏🙋♀️👻
Brooklands is a fascinating museum and the old banking and the underpass underneath is spooky.
Thank you so much and it is a creepy place! But at the same time I don’t think there’s anything bad there as such. The headless one sounds scary, though, having said that! 🙋♀️🙏👻
Definitely going to visit looks creepy can’t wait go!
I have to say hats off to you for the research you do for these videos, it makes it more enjoyable for me to hear the back stories in more historical detail…..additionally the bravery of the drivers and pilots at Brooklands was phenomenal, huge respect to them.
I appreciate that and I agree. They were brave and daring souls to accomplish the records and experiments in racing and aviation that they did. Respect for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video Brad 🙏🙋♀️👻
You did it again! Another fantastic and fascinating video. Thanks so much for all your efforts in putting these together!
Thank you ever so much Jason! I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure and much more to come 🙏🙋♀️👻
That is the best presented documentary I’ve ever listed to on RUclips. And I love your clear, agreeable, accentless voice. Thank you very much.
Wow, thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you kindly. 🙋♀️🙏👻
Hi Nicola, thanks for posting another great video. I'm going to save it for later after a workout it'll be the perfect way to unwind after I'm done. Well done again 👏 👍
Sounds great! 🙏🙋♀️👻
Excellent video, well done Nicola, love the artwork, maybe a few haunted galleries could be a thing🤔
That would be cool and I do love galleries and museums! 🙋♀️🙏
Well that had me gripped unbelievable courage and madness they had. An imprint off his goggles on post ouch. Brilliant story to cover 🇬🇧🙏
Thank you ever so much. Yes it’s a rather chilling detail, I think! 🙏🙋♀️
All of your videos are good but this is the best I’ve seen so far. I live near Brooklands and adore the place. I could sit on the banking for hours just gazing. Many years ago a friend of mine was night fishing there, illegally, and he told me that in the very early hours of the morning he heard the roar of an engine then the awful sound of a car crashing. He doesn’t believe in ghosts but he packed up his rod and promptly scarpered. He never went back.
Oh brilliant and what a great story. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It sounds like a very active place right? Sounds like your friend was also spooked by a similar incident in the video for sure. 🙏👻🙋♀️
Please please PLEASE make more of this!
Oh thank you! Well, I’ll have to investigate further but Brooklands really does have a unique history. Have you been there? There are lots of videos on YT that show the museum and footage of the track eto 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you, a wonderful video. Your account of the shock of Senna's death in 1994 was very moving, and made me think how very shocking it must have been for the spectators at the earlier races, and what high emotions would have been generated not only by the intensity of the racers, but by the horror of those who witnessed scenes they could never have imagined. The air at Brooklands must be electric with all those traumas. By the way, the newspaper account of one crash, (sorry I can't recall names at once) describing in pretty gorey detail how the telephone pole was marked by the driver's goggles, and that bits of wood were on his clothes, and all the injuries: I can't imagine any newspaper going into that kind of detail nowadays!
Thank you ever so much and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I still remember the Senna death vividly. The Arthur Moorhouse mention of the goggles is chilling and also the Herman death, with the photographers hoping to get a snap of the bodies on the stretchers in the clubhouse is also a reminder of what the press were like, perhaps, at the time! 🙏🙋♀️👻
The amount of research you conduct is truly monumental and is evident in your informative, compassionate, and thought-provoking videos! You really brought these people to life, and their tragic deaths made my heart hurt for them and those they left behind.
Thank you so much for sharing your time, talent, and insights with us!
I hope your relative continues to get better!
You are very kind and I am so glad that you enjoyed the video, despite its rather sad subject, I suppose! My relative is home and on the mend, thank you for asking 🙏👻🙋♀️👍
Thank you for another brilliant video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you ever so much 🙏🙋♀️
Nicola, that was a fantastic video. You really brought to life that strange, storeyed world of racing at Brooklands. Your obvious passion for the subject made it that much more appealing. The apparent reckless regard to life of the young participants just makes the era so much more poignant to us in our conscious, present day bubble of "safety".
Like you I adore T de L's work- if ever one artist captured the zeitgeist, it was her. And her images only gather additional power with each passing decade.
Thank you so much and I am really pleased that you enjoyed the video. Yes, they were brave souls living on the edge, I suppose! Thank you kindly 👻🙏🙋♀️
Great video, my Uncle worked at Brooklands so it’s a place close to my heart. We live close to Brooklands and visit is regularly we will keep an eye out for ghosts thank you for this 😊
Thanks for sharing! Fantastic! Apparently some of the shops and houses have echoes of racing inside them as though the drivers don’t recognise the modern constructions! I hope you don’t see the headless one though! Frightening! 🙏🙋♀️👻
This was really interesting- sad, certainly, but fascinating. They must just have felt immortal, like we all do at times. The rush overshadows the fear I guess. Thanks Nicola :)
Glad you enjoyed it and I absolutely agree. There may have been a feeling of adrenaline over judgement maybe? I don’t know. But they were pioneers and I respect them so much as their efforts have changed racing, car manufacturing, aviation and made advances in safety across the board, I think. 🙏🙋♀️👻
An excellent presentation Nicola, thank you for the time and trouble you took to create and share. You're going from strength to strength, long may it continue.
Thank you so much! It was an interesting video to make and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙋♀️👻
To answer your "What do _you_ think?" question, some of those ghost sightings on that racetrack sound like a residual haunting to me, rather than souls returning from time to time. Especially when also the cars are involved.
And that was absolutely marvellous to watch and listen to, Nicola! 😍👍 ...okay, and also quite creepy and of course horrific at times 😬 Thank you very much for another great video! 😊
Thank you ever so much. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I think I agree about it being a residual haunting. It was a place loved by so many 👻🙏🙋♀️
That was excellent all around ! Thank you for sharing more fascinating History !
Glad you enjoyed it! It is an area of history that is often overlooked but it meant everything to those brave souls! 🙏🙋♀️
Again great video, thankyou Nicola
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you 🙏🙋♀️👻
@GhostCasebook I have to say, the way you relate your experience with art and the raw passion you exude is absolutely touching. Your story of standing in front of that beautiful painting and almost jealous guarding of it is something I can directly relate to as a massive aviation fan. I understand almost on a spiritual level exactly the emotion you're describing. Beautiful.
Oh wow and thank you ever so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the videos and yes I was very emotional at seeing the painting. It’s very small but it is perfect! Thank you again and I do have two haunted international airports videos if you are interested 👻🙋♀️🙏
Interesting stories, Nicola! 👻👍Loved seeing the postcards and painting at the end too.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it Don 🙋♀️🙏👻
Thanks for another fantastic video, Nicola!
You are very welcome and I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure 🙏🙋♀️👻
What a great video & a very informative interesting commentary where your enthusiasm for motor racing history (& ghosts) really shines through.
What a shame though some British zillionaire racing fan hasn't bought a huge plot of land & rebuilt a replica Brooklands circuit.
I have read the fine actor James Robertson Justice raced there.
Thank you and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Sadly the land has been developed and there are shops and houses now where sections of the track used to be. Also since Brooklands closed, other race tracks became more prominent I suppose, but Brooklands still has some vintage transport events etc. But it would be lovely to see a version of it restored to its former glory but I think the bumpiness of the concrete really was a nail in its coffin, ultimately. 🙏🙋♀️👻
I really love and appreciate your work and dedication to all these souls who linger on with us. Thanks and all the best for You ❤
Wow, thank you! You are very welcome and I am glad you enjoyed the stories of these brave souls. 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank youNicola!!!!! I new of racing in England but this is great!!!!!!!!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video 🙋♀️🙏👻
This was a really well produced video. The use of pictures and the quiet moody background music fits perfectly and you have the perfect speaking voice for such content. It all goes together beautifully, like ingredients mixing in a bowl. I watch a lot of paranormal-based content on RUclips and this may be the best video I've seen. You really nailed it. Good work. Please keep it up you have earned a new subscriber
Thank you very much! Goodness me what a kind comment and welcome to the channel. I hope you’ll have a look at some of the other videos too. I really appreciate your encouragement; it means a great deal to me 🙏🙋♀️👻
Now that is some old history i never knew of.Very intresting and a Great Video.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you. Yes it’s sort of forgotten but it was such an important place really 🙏🙋♀️👻
What a fantastic episode Nicola. So interesting to hear the history of Brooklands as well as the spirits who still roam there. Think this is my favourite of all your videos. Thank you for your hard work 🙏😃
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for your kind comment. Wow I am so pleased you liked it so much! 🙏🙋♀️👻
I saw a documentary on TV, probably on PBS, a few years back about the history of racing where Brooklands was shown, but they didn't mention the ghosts! Very unusual, but what better to hold a spirit than very sudden death? One moment, you are vibrantly alive; the next, the most horrendous pain, and your physical life is ended. There is a similarity between the track and a field of war. I could tell by the emotion in your voice how dear this subject is for you.
Thank you so much and I agree with you. It is the sudden nature of the death maybe combined with the thrill and speed? It reminds me of war and also perhaps air crashes that are so fatal. Yes, it really moved me making this video for sure 🙏🙋♀️👻
I truly love your channel. We are Texans and we were so fortunate to live in the UK for several years. Our family absolutely loved everyone and everything about the UK, and still have many lovely friends there:) We lived in West Kirby, so the stories you've shared about Liverpool and Chester were truly fascinating and brought back fond memories and interesting history we've not known. Your channel is brilliant and I hope you continue to share your findings and stories! Xx
Thank you so much! I am so glad the videos bring back some memories for you. I’d love to go to Texas one day! It looks fantastic! Thank you again 🙋♀️👻🙏
We owe these pioneers a debt of thanks. Rest In Peace brave souls.
Rest in peace also Kelvin Kiptum, marathon record holder who has been killed in a crash along with his coach.
Yes very sad news today. Thank you for your kind comments and I agree, these pioneers need to be remembered 🙏🙋♀️
Yoooooooooooooooooooo! Nice job, Nicola
Thank yooooooouuu! 😂🙋♀️🙏👻
great episode. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you for another great video Nicola.
My pleasure! thank you so much 🙋♀️🙏👻
Thank you Nicola, this was so interesting but, also quite sad. These were very daring and dedicated people who just loved speed!! ❤
I totally agree! They were brave people with rudimentary or non existent safely measures to be honest! Glad you enjoyed the video Joan 🙋♀️🙏
Hi Nicola....
Thank you for posting this video.
Don't laugh....the first time I ever heard about Brooklands, was from the series
"Downton Abbey"
As for the speed limit of 20 mph...also from "Downton Abbey".....it was the scene when Tom Branson was applying for the position of chauffeur, and explained he left his previous employer, because the old Lady did not allow him to drive over 20 mph....
Thanks so much for the info, and explanations.
Hope you're doing well.
Yes it was mentioned in Downton abbey or as I called it for years Down Town! I don’t remember that about the chauffeur but it makes sense. I think they filmed the Downton scene at Goodwood but it was meant to be Brooklands itself. I think they captured the society elegance etc of being a spectator there at the time. I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure 🙏🙋♀️👻
Most evocative and moving 👍👏👌
Thank you so much. It is an interesting location and a bit of a snapshot of history, long forgotten 🙏🙋♀️👻
This was an amazing video, so much detail and history, lots of film and pictures and actual newspaper reports. Driving those race cars with no roll bars or other protection was no doubt more dangerous than flying a plane in the day. Thank you for your diligent research and for the way you make these videos personal by including your own feelings and observations. Well done!
Thank you ever so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the video and all the bits and pieces that go into making it. Yes, I do share that it affects me as I am sure you can imagine but my viewers alway say such kind and supportive things to me. It helps. And I’ll move on to another video now and the bad dreams of bumping around Brooklands will fade away! 🙏🙋♀️👻
This is brilliant 10/10 effort..Thank you
Much appreciated! Thank you ever so much 🙏🙋♀️👻
I lived in a house built on the site of the former Vickers factory in the early 2000s, and definitely experienced something ghostly whilst there alone.
I was in the upstairs bathroom and I heard a bang downstairs followed by footsteps coming up stairs. I had the door open behind me and as i looked in the mirror I caught sight of movement which made me turn around.
I thought my husband had come home early and went to find him in the bedroom. No one there. I checked the rest of the house, but also no one.
Eventually i concluded that many had likely died working in the factory, and at least one was still there.
Wow that’s an interesting story. The bombing there was brutal and you may have experienced the energy of a former worker as you rightly say. I wonder? Thank you for sharing 🙋♀️🙏👻
Excellent as always Nicola. I do recall that moment Ayrton Senna was killed and how shattered I was. As a child I saw an old image of Wolfgang von Trips thrown from his Ferrari at Monza in 1961. That image haunted my psyche for years. I'm envious that you were able to view Tamara de Lempicka's Autoportrait in person. Art can be quite powerful when the actual piece is viewed instead of a reproduction. My wife had a similar experience when she viewed The Buddha by Odilon Redon in the d'Orsay.
Thank you ever so much and I agree, that moment when they announced Senna’s death was so tragic. Thankfully things have improved these days but it was a very odd accident in itself. Thank you for the reference to Monza. The one that struck me as so awful was Roger Williamson who died at Zandvoort and I don’t know if you have seen the footage but his car is on fire and his fellow driver David Purley tries desperately to help him with a pretty useless fire extinguisher. The Marshalls did virtually nothing but it was too late an Williamson died when he probably could have been saved. It is harrowing. Yes, art in real life can be so moving but this painting really got me! Love the d’Orsay for sure. 🙋♀️🙏👻
Thanks Nicola, you never disappoint once again great video, would be very interested if you have ever seen a ghost.
Well I think I might have but I will share that in the future for sure 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you, i had never heard of Brooklands before. Fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you ever so much. 🙏🙋♀️
Fantastic Nicola. Thank you for this. Have been looking forward to listening. Fascinating X
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you ever so much 🙏🙋♀️👻
Awesome just settling in with a beer 🍻
Enjoy! I hope you like the video and cheers!
Thank you for an utterly fascinating video, I too love motor sports so this ticked a lot of boxes for me. I vividly remember seeing Ayrton Senna's last race and the utter shock of his death.
Thank you ever so much for this and yes, it was a terrible shock, wasn’t it when Senna went? Tragic. 🙏🙋♀️
Thank you, excellent episode 🌟
You are very welcome, thank you 🙏🙋♀️
I've reacted to a painting just like that and totally know how you felt. Attending and exhibition and not knowing if that one artwork you love so much will be there. Turning a corner and BAM, there it is right in front of you...words cannot describe the overwhelming emotion that takes hold of you. Glad you experienced this too. Love your vlogs, keep up the good work!
Oh wow! Yes that’s exactly how it is! I’ve cried at so many paintings! Thank you kindly 👻🙏🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night was the one for me. I'll never forget seeing it in person.
Another Great video ! I often hear about a connection between water and Ghost sightings, I'm sure theres more to it than that, but find it interesting that Brooklands was built on a marsh, maybe ground heavy with water has some kind of effect on the earths magnetic field, purely a hypothesis of course.
Thank you so much. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and it is true, it is near a water source that could account for the activity, maybe 🤔👻🙏🙋♀️
Another awesome video and storytelling that I like very much Nicola. I just love that story behind the ghosts and their appearance and also the history behind every place you cover. 😊 Thanks Nicola for the interesting Brooklands History
Thank you ever so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the stories and the history and, of course, the ghosts! 👻🙏🙋♀️
As a motoring and aviation enthusiast, and a ghostie, I thoroughly enjoyed this one 👻
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes it’s like a 3 in 1 venue with cars, planes and ghosts! ✈️👻🙋♀️🙏
Thank you GC.
Loved this.!.
...
Theres such a romanantism regarding the brooklands racing era the
"blower Bentley boys"
But it was quite dangerous.
It's not clear whether those participating knew or understood the risks or dangers..
..
We look at it from a modern safety perspective.
..
There was a brooklands racer called Louis
Zeborowski.
..
He was the original owner of the race car chitty bang bang.
..
There's a bit of a ghost story there..
Yes indeed I did come across the Brooklands chitty chitty bang bang story a bit. I certainly saw pictures of it with a burst tyre. Is it likely the drivers at Brooklands would have lost fellow drivers, racers, etc and knew the risk I wonder? 🤔 Some of them died abroad trying to take records too including the motorcyclist I showed, Eric Fernihough who died trying to take a land speed record in Hungary in 1938 when he was 33. Very sad. 😞
@@ghostcasebook1266
Certainly different times.
Like you pointed out, the guy refueling with what looks like a milk urn and people smoking.
So much energy and emotion/ adrenaline, imprinted around that whole area not surprising there's some hauntings/apparitions.
..
Louis Zborowski lived in a small Kent village, where he built his cars and raced his buddies around the village in their respective race cars.
I do believe those cars had huge areo engines in them so would have been quite loud.
..
Legend has it people to this day can still "hear" the cars race through the village!
..
Just discovered your channel.
Am going through your back catalogue...
..
Love ghost stories instant sub 👍
Thank you ever so much for subscribing and I agree the danger in the pit stop there is almost palpable! I love the point about Louis Zborowski, how interesting that he still roars around there. 🙏🙋♀️👻
I agree with you about the love of the sport, but you have done so well covering the stories. I really enjoy listening to your narration. Great coverage and detail. So sad though. Loved the pictures. I would like to visit the Brooklands track, and have some pictures to compare the track with. Well done.
I appreciate that. Thank you ever so much indeed. It is so sad but i have to remind myself about the thrill and mentality the competitors must have lived for.
Hi Nicola, thank you for this very interesting video! ❤💐🙋🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🙋♀️👻
A legendary circuit
Yes it is and sadly it’s largely forgotten, in some ways. But it must have been immense in its hay day for sure. 🙋♀️🙏👻
This is such a lovely video Nicola! Where do you come up with these lovely ghostly stories? And the car racing is so very British too. I hope your relative is doing better. ❤🥰🐾👻😊🙋♀️
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and the history. My relative is on the mend thank you 🙏🙋♀️👻
Another lovely episode Nicola 🥰
I always love your postcard section. Those Art Deco postcards are just…wow!
I have an LNER poster for the port of Mallaig in the highlands in my living room. We are heading to Fort William this weekend-can’t promise I will return empty handed 😅
Would love for you to do more Scottish themed videos in the future as you are inspired but as always anything you put together is always so fascinating ❤
Oh thank you! I am so grateful for your kind comment and I know, a gift shop is just too tempting!
I have requests to cover some Scottish locations in the future, so watch this space, for sure 🙋♀️🙏👻
Great Episode GC! I'm a big Motorsport fan, so it was great to watch this episode. Awesome pics & storytelling. Thanks & see you in the next one! 👻🇦🇺👻

Have you noticed they look a lot older than their years .very brave men in very scary cars.
Yes, I know what you mean! I agree, very brave 🙋♀️🙏👻

Hey! I thought we weren’t going to talk about the **cheesegate** incident any more?! 🙏🙋♀️💕🤭
Fantastic.would love a time machine to go back and watch.i used to dream as child in the 70s racing cars in the 1920s
You and me both! 👻
I thought, and hoped, that this would be about horseracing.
But this has me on the edge of my seat
I hope you enjoyed it. There are some haunted horse race courses in the UK though 👻🙏🙋♀️

Fantastic video ❤ I just love Brooklands been a member for years
Oh fantastic and thank you ever so much 🙏🙋♀️👻
I watched this video as soon as you posted it. Having enjoyed it, I decided to show my husband. His jaw dropped. The following day, he was off to a business meeting. His office overlooks Brooklands. I’ve got goosebumps typing this. We live in South Wales. My husband works mostly from home. This meeting was a rare one away from home as most are done on Zoom online.
Of all places in the UK, his meeting was held in the building next to Brooklands. 😮
That is awesome! I love this! I hope he attended with a new view of the track there. How funny! Thank you ever so much 👻🙏🙋♀️
He took me there this week. Fascinating to see the remaining piece of the original concrete. It’s now used as a car park. It was starting to get dark, I really wouldn’t want to be there late at night.
I absolutely have to get myself some of those old-style goggles!!!❤❤❤❤
Love all those old racing car's. I did my motorcycle CBT there.
Very cool! It is a bit of an overlooked gem, really! 🙋♀️🙏
What a fantastic subject for an episode. Work hectic so time limited….. but I can always make time for a new GC vid. Loving your work as usual…. And a brew and cake of course. Did Mr GC have any input on this one 🤔🤣
Hello and thank you ever so much! Glad you got the cake and a brew combo going. Mr GC was tasked with compiling a timeline of who died, when they died and under what circumstances and he did quite well on this task! (I sound like Alan Sugar on the Apprentice!) He had a motorcycle a long time ago so he was quite interested in the subject. He also went to Holland to watch F1 in the 1970s in a place built of sand dunes or something. I probably wasn’t even born at that time! He also had a 50% reduced Tesco raspberry cheesecake in the fridge to power his research! 🙏🙋♀️👻

This resonates very much here for us, too. We are NASCAR racing fans here in America. This was the same feeling.. just stunned, absolute shock when the legend Dale Earnhardt was killed in the last turn at Daytona Speedway in 2001.
Yes I have heard about that. Absolutely tragic and a terrible shock too 🙋♀️👻🙏
Hi Nicola awesome live ghost stories video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. He's big and happy. We're both enjoying your video. Next video in the future could you do fyvie castle in Scotland. I heard it's cursed and haunted 👻 by a five hundred year old ghost of a woman. Have a great weekend see you next video 😀
Hi Michelle and I am good thanks! Glad you any Benjamin are well. I will look into Fyvie for sure 🙋♀️🙏👻
I love cars and I’ve always loved racing cars and bikes.
I grew up in inner city suburb of Sydney ( Australia ) with a speedway track near by. I clearly remember, and treasure the memory, going to sleep with the sound from the cars and bikes.
Couldn’t wait till I was old enough to attend, and that was that, addicted for life.
This brought many of those memories back to me. Can’t thank you enough.
Saw many horrible things and saw many wonderful things. Motor racing is the stuff of life, it’s about winning, of course, but there’s a chance that someone might die. Just a chance, but it reminds one of one’s mortality, in a truly weird way. I once heard someone say that it’s a gladiatorial sport - and it is, just a reminder that the greats of the sport should always be remembered and celebrated. Blessings,❤.
Thank you very much for sharing your love of motor racing from Sydney. sounds very exciting. Yes the sheer number of deaths in F1 in particular in the 1970s was horrible. I am pleased safety measures are better these days. I was reminded of the incident with Martin Brundle in Melbourne in 1996 and how just 2 years after Sean’s, improvements were clear in this crash:
ruclips.net/video/CHOyIGToAZc/видео.htmlsi=zbEbOcfOalZOL3pl
@@ghostcasebook1266 WOW ! Thanks for sharing the clip. I’d forgotten how that all went down. It was a great testimonial to just how far driving safety, and technology, has come. Thanks for sharing it’s really wonderful that you did that. Truly, very much appreciated. 👏👏👍🌹🌹❤️
You are very welcome. In the clip, and this is my opinion, I think for a second, Murray Walker thought this was potentially another fatal crash, so you can tell how relieved he is when Brundle comes out unscathed! Glad you like it. It was a hell of a crash though! 🙋♀️🙏
Donald Davidson was a boy in the 1950's when he was riding the train next to the Brooklands oval and remembered his father telling of the long silent racetrack and the car running their. Later he became intrigued with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and went to Indianapolis in 1964 for the '500'. He went on to become the Official Historian of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway but would talk fondly of Brooklands if given the occasion. When I saw the photo of the train passing just beyond the banking of Brooklands I recalled his story and how riding that train set a path for his life.
VERY interesting as per!🧐👍🏻
I've been there,Reginald Alexander John 'Rex' Warneford VC of the then R.oyal N.aval A.ir S.ervice also slumbers there.

Enjoyed this ghostly documentary of Brooklands though the thirties, the place is very atmospheric of that time,
Very well produced and beautifully voiced . As a side note I to saw Tamara De Lempira's exacerbation with my girl friend at the time who was a big fan, it was fantastic , I drought if we evener see so many of her painting together again. It was very memorable even though it must be more than ten years ago now. A gait day out.
Thank you ever so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video for sure. It really was an interesting video to make but a bit harrowing in places! Did you see the exhibition at the royal academy? I bloody loved it! 🙋♀️🙏👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 Yes I did and it was excellent . I came across her wile researching a fashion model turned photographer called Lee Miler who was in Paris at about the same time and may well have met her. I think she was at her creative best in the thirties She really should have a documenty or film made about her amazing and colourful life. So nice who has herd of her and is so passionate about her work. Thanks for bringing back such happy memory's.

Hi Nicola, Always enjoy your videos.Now i was trained as a airframe fitter at BAC weybridge years back and worked the nightshift for many years. I am a sceptic but had some strange experiences there plus there was some very spooky areas in the long gone hangars and the race track .
Oh wow fantastic! I think lots of people from all sorts of backgrounds, sceptics and believers have seen things there! 🙏🙋♀️👻

@@ghostcasebook1266 oh thanks I've just seen one with aircraft my husband would love that.

Enjoyed this, how things change! Cool.
Glad you liked it! Yes, things really have changed and I am glad we have seatbelts now etc! But it took the pioneers to bring about change, I suppose. 🙋♀️🙏👻

Glad you think so! lots of history and ghosts! 🙏🙋♀️👻
Thank you for these ghost stories I love to listen to them. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do! 🙏🙋♀️👻
Absolutely fascinating video, one of your best! It had me gripped even though, like yourself, I am not a huge fan of motorsport. A video suggestion for the future should be the Isle of Man TT, that type of motorsport really freaks me out, the speeds they go on those bikes is mind blowing! I’m sure there are ghosts haunting the routes on that island! There have been a lot of fatalities on those roads.
Thank you ever so much and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I agree the Isle of Mann footage is amazing and what gets me with motorcycle racing is the angles they move into and how low they go! I’d be off that bike like a shot! I will try and look into this for sure 🙋♀️🙏👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 exactly, the angles they go at are crazy! More power to them!
I’ll take my vw golf over a motorbike, I’d be way too nervous to go even 100m on them haha!
Thank you and keep up your amazing work 🙌🙌🙌☺️☺️☺️
Here is a thing:-
The green Bugatti painting shows that it is left hand drive, but all "vintage" Bugattis were RHD Google says:-
Bugatti EB110 (1991-95) was the first Bugatti with left-hand drive steering, starting the frustrating trend. All previous models - from the 1910 Type 13 to the T101 of '51 - were RHD, largely due to the firm's motorsport origins (most circuits run clockwise, thus favouring a right-hand driver).....Interesting
Excellent video none the less...
Very interesting thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🙋♀️👻
I always feel like there’s a presence when you go through the double doors into the Bike display. Every time I go through there to the loos at the VMCC nights
I love this! fantastic 👻🙏
