- Cheltenham is an ancient Roman town in western England, featuring some of the best ghost stories in the whole country. Nearby is a neolithic burial site called Belas Knap, haunted by monks and spirits of nature.
Moving into Cheltenham we pass through Prestbury, the most haunted village in England. Ghosts range from the Black Abbot all the way to spectral shepherds and medieval horse riders.
Cheltenham itself has various stories, its most famous being 'the Cheltenham ghost' - which is the most accredited ghost on record.

Ahhh the town I was born and raised in! I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s when all my friends was say ‘I’m sick of this town’ or ‘this towns finished for me’ or ‘it’s the same people everywhere I can’t wait to get out of here’ … I’d just think ‘no, you’re sick of yourself and having to live with the choices you’ve made. This town is beautiful’ and I still think it’s beautiful. Nothing beats a stroll through pitville park in the Autumn (or any time of year for that matter) paddling in boats, feeding the swans, or strolling down the prom at Christmas. Bunking off school and getting a dropper from the bakery and sitting in winston Churchill memorial gardens. Riding your bike along the honeybourne . In the Summer sitting in Sandford park having a picnic after a swim in the lido or chilling out with a pint at the beer gardens! What a way to grow up! I was so lucky!
I can never get sick of this town . Love it through and through . We can trace my famalam here at least since 1650 - so I love the history of this place and surrounding areas
@@sphynxster06 Wow! 1650! That’s amazing! I haven’t dug too deeply but I can trace my great grandfather back to being the son of a butcher who owned a shop in Tivoli in the 1800s. Don’t know much about my Dad’s side as we don’t have contact but I’ve been told their history in the town goes back. My mum went to Pates girls school and said there was a plaque naming one of my dad’s ancestors as a benefactor dating to the 1700s. (Don’t want to give his family name as it’s extremely uncommon and would make me identifiable to him)
I echo your sentiment about loving the history of this place and surrounding areas. We have so much on our doorstep!
What a romantic way to describe our town. Love this.
I lived in Charlton Kings from the mid 70’s - the early 80’s. I try to get back as often as a can. Love shopping here, though Cavendish House is looking a bit sad these days.
I couldn't agree more!
as a ghost story lover i really love your videos. they keep me company during spooky season which doesn't end with halloween, but lasts throughout winter when the nights are long, dark, and cold.
I remember hearing a horse man riding lived very close to prestbury not all the time but now and again
Living in the most haunted place in England hasn't been too bad lived here for 22 years (since I was born). A couple weird encounters, hearing horses charging down the road at 5:00am with no one around whilst... No cars, no people and no horses, crazy stuff.
Fascinating! Anything else?
New subscriber 👋 from the Philippines ❤️
Great production values. Very well narrated. Love this channel. Thank you.❤
Please come and visit Worcester!
Hi Robin and Ross, love these ghostly tales keep them coming, I would like to suggest a book if I may it’s called The Green Stone by author Graham Phillips. It’s mostly based in Worcestershire and it tells of a paranormal adventure which locates the Green stone which belonged to Mary queen of Scots which was found buried next to the river Avon. Various clues were left for the team at locations around Worcestershire to the whereabouts of this stone and paranormal events which followed them on the hunt for it. Very best wishes keep up great work.
4:15 my Great grandparents and my granddad are all interned in a grave just behind where you're standing. My Granddad loved his ghost stories x
Love your work , your voice is very calming and your narration is brilliant. 🌹
Agree 👍
You should visit nearby Winchcombe. There’s murder alley where people have seen the head of someone rolling down a hill. My great great grandmother was one of the first to witness this. There’s also been many other ghost stories told, such as a candle flickering in the bedroom of a child that died.
Ooooooooooo going to a talk on Cleeve Hill later .
We live out here in Prestbury ,very much haunted .
like the John Hurt tones
I live right on Prestbury High Street and have never seen anything or believe in ghosts, but I still enjoy the stories and the aspects of history you can pick up from them
What is that great stone tower with its flag flying atop (at night), at 14.50? Looks like a prison or maybe a castle but there isn't any in Cheltenham, is there? Would love to know, it looks so ancient with its rough stonework. Any answers gladly received. Thank you, and thanks Robin for a great video and stories of ghostly goings on! Very intriguing, and I only believe these stories of sightings since I saw 2 ghosts as a teenager, very strange and they were so real and solid that I could have touched them, except I was scared to! One was a relation of my Uncle's and the "ghost" I saw had died some 15 years before I was even born, weird or what!? Its as vivid now as it was on that day.
You definitely deserve more subs! Liked and Subbed 👍👍
Great story telling voice. Bravo 👏
Love your tales, your voice is so unique. Do you do TV work? If not you should!
And/or audiobooks (Ghosty ones)
Sat on belurs knapp while mountain biking lots of times,but never saw or felt anything sadly. And the house in Pittville Circus was also a youth club I used to go to in the 80s before turned in to flats.
Thanks for sharing these spooky stories. 😉
I live in Cheltenham! Looks like I've got some new places to visit. Thank you!
Robin your execution of these videos makes me think of David Attenborough's older works when he would go back and forth between the voiceovers and on-location narrations. You clearly put a ton of work into making these, and I appreciate your effort! These are so fun to listen to.
Love love ur videos and that heavy mysterious feel .. Truely spooks u
Thankyou so much for sharing this. I love ghost storries and listening to what others experience others have encountered. Im from cheltenham myself and know of many stories around the town particulary prestbury down the road from cleeve hill. I am baffled having having visited cleevehill manytimes i never knew this was there! Thankyou fors haring and thank you YT for recommending. Exclellent video, thumbs up and earnt yourself a sub
I’m from chelters and I’ve rented a couple of super haunted houses - both were in the town centre - Ali were end . Built in 18c . The worst one I researched used to be an undertakers which made sense as my experience when in the large l lounge of one cottage, sat with all 5 house sharers . None of us smoking and me at the end of one settee near the back of room. A billow of smoke floated past my face and I smelt candle wax - the billow of smoke was small as of a candle having been blown out. After my research - It also noted that candles were used during laying out of bodies and the lounge was that room ! 😮 . That was stonham cottage opposite bar and wok . Also in Henrietta street, the very corner ‘shop-like’ fronted house at the very end opposite the hotel - was also extremely haunted. I lasted all of 6 months in both of those house. Both over looked the car park where the anicent market still takes place today ! And has since as you mention chelt was recorded I. The doomsday book . It is also mentioned in my research that this area is over crossing let-lines which gives for more haunting due to its energy fields etc.
To note: as the billow waved past my face literally in my face - I jumped up and said to my friend did you see that. My friend sat beside me had. We were all pretty shook up. Thing happened so often there I calf I was first home from work I would wait outside or nearby until a mate was home 😂 the rent was 35£ each a week that was 2008 ish - well cheap . I now know why lol
Mate that’s mad! I almost bought that house on Henrietta street and the one next door when both came up for sale recently. Not enough garden (if you can even call it that) and would have cost a bomb to restore. But thought it’d be handy for the frog and the brewery! We loved in several places all had ‘unusual’ activity. A townhouse on Albert place next to the ABC park that was at one time used as a school where you could hear footsteps running up and down the stairs all day even when you were home alone. A flat in a Georgian mansion on Douro road where things kept disappearing and then then reappearing in weird places. A cottage in marsh lane where the ghost of a dog used to bark at the window but disappear as soon as you opened the window! The house I grew up in in Hester’s way where I saw an old man tell me not to stand too close to the fire and as he turned I could see he was burned and then the nice lady dressed like from the 30s who turned my lamp back on for me after my mum came in and turned it off because I was afraid of the dark. I remember seeing a monk walking along the old bath road whose feet were sunk half in to the ground up to his shins. And just ask anyone in the Norwood and they will tell you not to be the last one in after closing. Any place with so much history has its ghosts. Most people just dismiss what they see as something else.
@@LyraDavis for real they do . I feel privailedge to have seen so much. Ive scarier moments actually when I think of it. But yes so many hauntings I. Such a small place - as is chelt. But yes you had a lucky escape - thing were happening daily 😬 in the Henrietta stree one ! Could see black fogs floating round constant people running up and down stairs, so much so that you would go into hall confused to see who had come down stairs knowing g no-one was up there anyways. Lol non- stop. it was a stressful place to live tbh.
@@sphynxster06 nice to know I didn’t pass up a bargain for nothing!
Amen.
Robin, have you considered doing audiobooks? Ghost ones of course. You'd be great.
'The Signalman, Any Dennis wheatly black magic books (The Ka of Gifford Hillary, springs to mind), et al.
I think he actually has audiobooks.
@@cindchan Hi. I found 'A Christmas Carol' on COTSWOLD EXPLORER . Do you know of any others?
Robin does indeed narrate audiobooks, there's a whole collection of ghost stories here: cotswoldshop.co.uk/collections/audiobooks

Thank you for all the work you put into your beautiful videos. 💚

Hi Robin, very very well done. Beautiful storytelling and fiming. Excellent. Thanks
Besides nicely told stories and appealing places your voice is something extra. So soothing, deep and attractive I sometimes realise I stop listening just perceiving its melody. Anyway, thank you for your work.
Just discovered this sister channel.
Looks great. 🙂👻
Great video, I live in charlton kings Cheltenham
I lived in CK in the mid 70’s
My parents bought a house on Prestbury Road in the early 70's we had our fair share of experiences there.
Love this!!!! Keep them coming! Awesome job! 💓💓💓 It's in your voice... 😍🥰🤩
❤❤❤
I would love to live in the country side
Down with the Roundheads, up the Cavaliers up the King.
Have you ever done a very old air base in Bristol . I ain't quite sure where it is could Henbury or Henleaze as there has been reported of ghost hunters on the bank seeing a woman and a Aairforce officer from WW11 . As i have only been told this so how true it is i do not know as my ghost haunting days are over from COPD . So i am limited for walking .
I have come into the paths of spirits and ghosts when I have deep emotional trauma. Of course I used to think I was mad. I'm not. As the grief passes so do the Spector's

My Only Home Of 43 Years
hello from the future oct 22 2023
Cheltenham is not an ancient town, it's about 200 years old. It was originally a ham on the river Chelt (from which it derives it's name). It only became a town in Regency times, and it was built with the money of Jemmy Wood - the Miser Banker, at one time the richest commoner in England and reputedly the inspiration for Dicken's Scrooge character.
Gloucester is the ancient City - there has been a settlement there since pre-Roman times.
True. The oldest - pre-19th century - bits of Cheltenham are the Minster and the western end of High Street - it was a large village or small town before the rapid expansion from c. 1800 onward. I wonder if it's more 'nobody shows much interest in the pre-19th century history' rather than 'there isn't any.'
'Haunted' in as much as it's not remotely haunted since the paranormal is total and utter BS.
You guys in the west truly believe ghost story or just enjoy it as entertaintment??
I know it's real cause I've heard it my self
