I went to the Whaley house a few years ago. It was the one time that the weather in San Diego was terrible. Hot and humid and miserable. I went by myself as my husband was at comicon getting his nerd on. I walked through the house not feeling anything out of the ordinary and as I walked down the stairs I looked up and said to Mr. Whaley, " Okay, I'm leaving." At that very moment I heard a deep, manly voice "sigh" as though disappointed that I was leaving. I was the only person touring the house at the time so I know it wasn't a tourist. Altbough the weather was sweltering and I was melting in the heat, that moment sent absolute chills down my spine. That was probably 15 years ago and I will never get that voice out of my head.
I used to eat at the Olde Town Mexican Cafe across the street from the Whaley House when I lived in Chula Vista back in the 90's and actually went through the house on a tour one night before they closed. Not much to report except after leaving the billiards room and about to go down the hall I heard the distinct "clack!" of say a cue ball hitting another and the sound was much more robust than you hear these days. I thought it was one of the guides putting things away for the night... Years later contemplating the sound I heard I did some research and found out that billiard balls were made from ivory in the 1800's which does indeed have a deeper robust sound. Chalk that one up to an experience in the Whaley House! (no pun intended.... Or was it?)
You are correct on everything you believe happened. I know I will get teased for saying this but I am a clairvoyant medium empath and can confirm that what you heard felt and saw was truly spiritual.
Spent a lot of time in and around the Whaley House. Started ghost hunting there with a camera, video recorder, and a voice recorder back in early 90's. Sat upstairs to try and smell the cigar smoke, look for the moving rocking chair, and listen for whispers from the master bedroom. There was also a story about feeling a choking sensation when walking around the right side of the house, so we looked for that, too. One year for Halloween, they did nighttime (or midnight - I don't remember exactly) tours of the house where we sat in the courtroom for a presentation, then they dimmed the lights and let us walk around and ask questions and just hang out. We took a bunch of equipment in and took a ton of pics and video. Pored over it all, but didn't find anything of note. However, a woman in the group ahead of us said she saw a headless soldier in an old uniform walking through the courtyard, which wasn't a ghost I had heard of before. She was pretty freaked, though - we got to talk to her for a few minutes before she left. Anyway, visited that place many times over the years and took a lot of pictures and video. I think in all of it there were a just but couple of small strange things - one was a cold spot on the stairs, and another was hearing someone taking a couple of steps on the upper floor. Honestly, though, neither was definitive, and I wouldn't really count those as a personal "experience." But the Whaley House is also just a fantastic piece of history for the city, so go there to see it as a museum first, then look for ghosts as a bonus. If you ever visit San Diego, be sure and check out all of Old Town. Aside from the Whaley House, there's also the Estudillo House, which is also supposed to be super haunted and active. It's not too far from the Whaley House at all, so you can easily do both at the same time. Plus there's a candy shop right next to the Estudillo, so like... bonus.
As a native San Diegan, my daughter and I took a paranormal tour of Old Town for her 20th birthday. Although we had taken several tours of the Whaley House over the years. This time we walked through Old Town, stopping at various buildings and the graveyard, and finishing the tour in the yard of the Whaley House.We were given EMF detectors, and several of them lit up right after my daughter and I both felt a distinct coldness between us. This was a warm April night with no wind. So feeling the coldness first (neither of us said anything at the time as we tend to be rather shy in groups) and then having the detectors nearest to us light up seemed to indicate that something or someone otherworldly may have been there between us that night. We discussed what we had felt only after the tour broke up, and we felt more convinced given that both of us had felt the coldness independently. It was quite the birthday present!! :)
Thank you so much for finding a story for my town! Car accidents are, unfortunately, extremely common in and around my town. I've lost both a principal (along with her husband and two children) in a car accident when they drove into a small lake, a former PE teacher, a friend of mine on an ATV, another who was also on the ATV was seriously injured, a friend of my little brother's, little sister, who was nearly decapitated in a hit and run and killed instantly, and one of my best friend's sister. Those were all within the last 12 or so years.

I'm thinking the buried alive story is a load of BS. Think about it, by the time they close the casket and get you to the cemetery you would suffocate. How much air could be in a casket? They're air tight. No way somebody can lay there for a few days then wake up.

I've been to the Whaley house and even though it was packed with tourists shuffling through, looking into the ropes off rooms, I remember the excitement when a rocking chair began to rock faster and faster by itself in a roped off room and in the kitchen pots and pans and utensils started rattling. There were tons of people there and it was a hot, sunny day. It wasn't scary at the time because it just didn't seem real or threatening, because of all the noise and people. I was only 11 or 12 and didn't know why we were there, really anyway, we were just visiting every tourist attraction in San Diego. I never thought about it again until I saw it online in the last few years... We also went to the Winchester House in San Jose, Ca.
I live in San Diego and have been to the Whaley House few times. It really is kind of creepy inside. They say you can smell cigar smoke and/or perfume. I've smelled both but assumed it was the people working there. I've walked by the house at night with friends. And you can't help but feel the sadness coming from the building. The vibe makes you to not want to visit. I haven' been inside for a few years. And I don't want to.
My brother lived in Alexandria Bay during his time at Ft. Drum with the 10th Mountain Division and when I visited him we went to that castle. Pretty cool building.
I lived in Upstate New York. Visited there many times. One of the castles turrets is souly for you putting your name and the time of your vitsit on the walls.😁 When I was there the children's castle hadn't been fully restored yet. There's a wishing fountain were coins are thrown in. After a summer the coins are collected and used to help rebuild the place. There's a two line bowling allie in the basement. The only sad place is the underground stable area. Strangely cold there.😬

Most of the castle is still closed of for renovations, but what is open and finished really is a sight to see.

I’ve visited the Whaley house plenty of times and I can tell you the whole area of old town has a Eerie vibe to it The house seems cold and when you walk in it’s like traveling back in time whenever I went I was always drawn to the backyard it was always around 11pm and I was always alone there. One time I was with family and after we visited the house we walked back to our room and while we were walking there was an empty house that had a porch light we knew it was empty because it was under construction the light was in good condition but for some reason as we walked by it’s shut off and I had a cold feeling on my neck like someone was watching us. The light then turned back on like someone was inside messing with us but we could see through the windows we all look at each other and ran “I was with my mom who isn’t a believer” when it happened she looked at me with fear and we ran it’s hard to explain but how it happened definitely felt paranormal my brother who was 11 started to cry and panicked
Nothing like the 1000 islands and Boltd Castle! Been to Boltd Castle many times growing up definitely something more there. On a side note they have the best ice-cream
I’ve been to Whaley house back in the early eighties before it was ever advertised as being haunted. I sensed some things upstairs and the kitchen then asked a person who worked their if anyone has ever seen or heard anything unusual? They pulled out a brochure they didn’t hand out about sightings there. Same when I went to the Queen Mary 👻
I'm a California native and have been to the Whaley house several times. I've seen the keys on the piano move of their own accord. The flag in the courtroom billowed out by itself. I've seen Thomas Whaley on the stairs in the house. He appeared to me as a sort of gray and black figure but certain facial and clothing details were quite discernable. The last time I was there I sat on the front porch late at night on my way back to downtown San Diego. I heard heavy footfalls behind me as though someone wearing boots were walking up on me and I smelled the distinctive odor of cigar smoke. I looked up and above my head was a pall of swirling smoke. Interesting to note Thomas Whaley did smoke cigars as was the fashion of men in that era. I simply spoke and said Mr Whaley I don't mean to intrude. I'll be on my way shortly just taking a quick rest before I continue on my way. Oddly the footsteps receded back the way they had come. Bear in mind it was well after midnight when this incident occurred and I was the only one walking around old Town that night. It was late 1999- 2000 when this occurred. My first visit was in 1997 with a high school trip. Believe me or not I don't care. I have simply relayed my own personal experience with the Whaley house.
It sounds like Mr Whaley is a gentleman sprit, as long as you explain why you're there especially at odd hours or are polite to him he's polite back. Curious. Sounds like San Diego is a place I'll visit if I ever get to visit the US.
I just noticed there are quite a few videos I've never seen. I'm excited 💗💗💗 will be binging all day while cleaning then tonight when I lay in bed. God bless you guys!😘❤
On the Octavia Hatcher video. I live like thirty minutes from the gravesite. I’ve always heard those stories about her doing that. I don’t know how true they are.
I’m I the only one thinking about that one episode of “Bob’s burgers”. when they came across that castle, The old man who had it built, for the women he loved .
I live in San Diego, I go to old town quite often, especially since I work right next to there. When I was younger my mom paid to go on a ghost tour at old town it was on Halloween we brought our therapy dog to help my brother not have a panic attack, so the ghost tour consisted of us going into all the old homes and hearing the ghost stories from them, at the end of the tour we would go into the most haunted home which was the Whaley house, once we got inside my dog flipped out he started barking and barking and standing infront of my family and I as if he was protecting us from something. We ended up leaving the tour a little early cause we we’re to freaked out after that. My grandma is convinced to this day that our dog saw something that we couldn’t see.
I use to work in Pikesville KY years ago.. Lived in Williamson about 30 min away. Thank you for your awesome, informative, very well researched videos.💗 -Tina
I live in San Diego County and have visited the Whaley House a few times. I have quite a few pictures with orbs and one in the theater room with a woman's face. Surprisingly though, you don't really get a "scary" feeling when there but more of sympathy feeling. I had an evp as well on an old phone where you can hear a little girl's voice mumbling but the phone broke a while ago so I don't have it anymore but I still look back at this pictures and it's really cool to have proof of my experience there. There are also numerous photos from other visitors in an album that they have there and on the SD Ghost Hunter's site they have evps. Was finally going to go ghost hunting there (they have a few midnight ghost hunting tours a year) but due to covid it didn't happen. San Diego is full of haunted locations.
I’ve been to the Whaley house. I didn’t see anything but it did feel a little creepy (eyes on you feeling). They had some really good ghost pictures that guests have taken over the years. Worth visiting if you’re ever in SD
Once again, an enjoyable series of stories. However, #3 was a bit confusing using both Bob and Bill. tory #4 was close to home. As a native San Diegan I spent many hours at the Whaley House. I remember cold spots on the stair case, and on one memorable occasion, the rocking chair in the nursery began to slowly rock. Haven't been back since Old Town became new Old Town.,
when on the ghost train once and the worker said "we've lost a few on that side" points to where i was sitting. been years and i still dont know what he meant
I've been to the Whaley House in San Diego numerous times but my all-time most rememberable experience I was walking into the dining room and at the time it was an open museum so the air was just flowing through and I had walked into the dining room and all the air with steel and it got stuffy it was no need for it to be still and stuffy the house was open on a cold winter's Eve. I've also captured a bunch of orbs on the outside of the building. I love going to the Whaley House the only thing left for me to do is go to the Winchester
I use to live 15 minutes from pikeville I’ve always heard about this story also about the Hatfield and McCoys there is a lot of history in this area including the matewan Massacre

Recognized that photo of the Cadillac lounge right away. I used to right around the corner in an old house with lots of weird happenings. I had digital photos of weird smoke in a corner that only showed up on camera. Unfortunately they're all lost in an old computer but that was a great area to live.
Not in my hometown, but I have been to the Myrtles Plantation and stayed on the Queen Mary.. I live in Baltimore, Maryland though.. there are a tremendous amount of haunted places in Maryland, Baltimore alone including E.A Poe’s grave...
i live in san diego! when you said san diego, i knew you were going to be talking about the whaley house. it's creepy, but also amazing in the aspect of how well it's been preserved. i went on a "spooky tour" a couple years ago around halloween with my cousins, and we believe we actually caught a picture of yankee jim in the upstairs living area. going there is what actually made me start to believe in ghosts because there were so many weird things that happened that night, i just couldn't explain it.
"And the chandelier sometimes swings back and forth for no apparent reason" The Ghost: "....I have my reasons.... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M GONNA SWWWWWIIIIING FROM THE CHANDELIIIIEEEEEER FROM THE CHANDELIIIIIIEEEEEEER!!!" (imagine hearing that at 3 am when you're just trynna sleep lol best ghost ever) And Annie out here just causing minor inconveniences and wasting water. THERE'S A SHORTAGE ANNIE! ANNIE IT'S NOT OK! ANNIE IT'S NOT OK! IT'S NOT OK ANNIE!
Thx for the story on Whaley house. San Diego is my hometown and I've been lucky to have visited several times. I have a great picture of my husband on the staircase when I developed the film that picture has light orbs all around him.
Michael lives in one of the *MOST HAUNTED* areas of the UK! Clitheroe Castle has ghosts; Much of this site dates back to 1186. From former royal owners to tales of woe these buildings have seen a lot and are bounded by historic battles, witchcraft and executions. With poltergeist activity and many sightings it’s regarded one of England’s most haunted places. Unusual feelings of sadness here are usually followed by the sighting of a maid. A man woman and child are often seen together along with cavalier officers, a lady in white and a woman that stares through windows. Michael lives in (the Borough of Ribble Valley) Lancashire, where the Pendle Hill Witches, along with the Samlesbury witches & others, were tried in the Lancashire Witch Trials. What an amazing, historical area to live in. With an ancient and often turbulent and violent past, it's definitely a haunted location and I'd expect, a wonderful place to live! www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/68-haunted-places-lancashire-you-17168983 www.hauntedplaces.org/clitheroe-uk-h2/
Was not expecting to ever see Pikeville on here. It’s nice to see my area get some attention. There is a lot of history and ghost stories around the Pike County area.
Ok that story with the statue is from mississippi to. The Kelly's. Every but except they have 8 kids that died of Scarlett fever. She has an ice axe in her had, as she worked at the ice plant here. Same statue, but she wasn't buried alive.
It was cool seeing about Boldt Castle. I live just over an hour away from it. I've been there a couple times, and that is where I proposed to my, now wife. There are a few areas inside the castle, and the grounds that have some eerie feelings when you go there.
You are the first person in my life time that actually told the boldt castle story correctly, my step grandfather worked on the castle from 77 to 85, and the true story of her cheating got drowned out by the locals due to tourism..!!
I've heard of the Whaley place before. Was that featured in Ghost Adventures or something similar? I mean I don't watch many of those shows but it seems familiar.
I lived in northern NY all my life. Thanks Top 5, you should do our Remington Museum in Ogdensburg Ny. That place in haunted. And cought Miss. Remington in a photo looking out the door window.

I’ve visited the Whaley house plenty of times and I can tell you the whole area of old town has a Eerie vibe to it The house seems cold and when you walk in it’s like traveling back in time whenever I went I was always drawn to the backyard it was always around 11pm and I was always alone there. One time I was with family and after we visited the house we walked back to our room and while we were walking there was an empty house that had a porch light we knew it was empty because it was under construction the light was in good condition but for some reason as we walked by it’s shut off and I had a cold feeling on my neck like someone was watching us. The light then turned back on like someone was inside messing with us but we could see through the windows we all look at each other and ran “I was with my mom who isn’t a believer” when it happened she looked at me with fear and we ran it’s hard to explain but how it happened definitely felt paranormal my brother who was 11 started to cry and panicked
I'm always so irritated when the opening sound is missing. I thought my sound was gone.
I thought the POOM was missing. I thought I was having audio problems.
Hahha . I was checking my headphones too ahhaha
it made me turn up my volume.
the soft but mysterious bang should never be missing.
Thank you for doing such great research and used the patreons stories. I love this idea so much!
Nothing like the 1000 islands and Boltd Castle! Been to Boltd Castle many times growing up definitely something more there. On a side note they have the best ice-cream
Top 5s you’re the reason I check under my bed every night!
Boo! 👻 lol
Jk..Happy Halloween 🧛♂️
I’ve been to Whaley house back in the early eighties before it was ever advertised as being haunted. I sensed some things upstairs and the kitchen then asked a person who worked their if anyone has ever seen or heard anything unusual? They pulled out a brochure they didn’t hand out about sightings there. Same when I went to the Queen Mary 👻
And nowadays they use the element of the paranormal to draw the tourists in. Times have changed!
quietone748 now everything is “haunted” so much fake
Still need to go to the Queen Mary....
Any reconstruction of any buildings can and will stir up the paranormal especially if there is emotion behind it.
I'm a California native and have been to the Whaley house several times. I've seen the keys on the piano move of their own accord. The flag in the courtroom billowed out by itself. I've seen Thomas Whaley on the stairs in the house. He appeared to me as a sort of gray and black figure but certain facial and clothing details were quite discernable. The last time I was there I sat on the front porch late at night on my way back to downtown San Diego. I heard heavy footfalls behind me as though someone wearing boots were walking up on me and I smelled the distinctive odor of cigar smoke. I looked up and above my head was a pall of swirling smoke. Interesting to note Thomas Whaley did smoke cigars as was the fashion of men in that era. I simply spoke and said Mr Whaley I don't mean to intrude. I'll be on my way shortly just taking a quick rest before I continue on my way. Oddly the footsteps receded back the way they had come. Bear in mind it was well after midnight when this incident occurred and I was the only one walking around old Town that night. It was late 1999- 2000 when this occurred. My first visit was in 1997 with a high school trip. Believe me or not I don't care. I have simply relayed my own personal experience with the Whaley house.
It sounds like Mr Whaley is a gentleman sprit, as long as you explain why you're there especially at odd hours or are polite to him he's polite back. Curious. Sounds like San Diego is a place I'll visit if I ever get to visit the US.
Shout out from Anaheim CALIFORNIA!!!
Sorry to hear that.
I appreciate your videos. You got me through many boring shifts!
I just noticed there are quite a few videos I've never seen. I'm excited 💗💗💗 will be binging all day while cleaning then tonight when I lay in bed. God bless you guys!😘❤
On the Octavia Hatcher video. I live like thirty minutes from the gravesite. I’ve always heard those stories about her doing that. I don’t know how true they are.
I’m I the only one thinking about that one episode of “Bob’s burgers”. when they came across that castle, The old man who had it built, for the women he loved .
I live in San Diego, I go to old town quite often, especially since I work right next to there. When I was younger my mom paid to go on a ghost tour at old town it was on Halloween we brought our therapy dog to help my brother not have a panic attack, so the ghost tour consisted of us going into all the old homes and hearing the ghost stories from them, at the end of the tour we would go into the most haunted home which was the Whaley house, once we got inside my dog flipped out he started barking and barking and standing infront of my family and I as if he was protecting us from something. We ended up leaving the tour a little early cause we we’re to freaked out after that. My grandma is convinced to this day that our dog saw something that we couldn’t see.
I use to work in Pikesville KY years ago.. Lived in Williamson about 30 min away.
Thank you for your awesome, informative, very well researched videos.💗 -Tina
I live in San Diego County and have visited the Whaley House a few times. I have quite a few pictures with orbs and one in the theater room with a woman's face. Surprisingly though, you don't really get a "scary" feeling when there but more of sympathy feeling. I had an evp as well on an old phone where you can hear a little girl's voice mumbling but the phone broke a while ago so I don't have it anymore but I still look back at this pictures and it's really cool to have proof of my experience there.
There are also numerous photos from other visitors in an album that they have there and on the SD Ghost Hunter's site they have evps.
Was finally going to go ghost hunting there (they have a few midnight ghost hunting tours a year) but due to covid it didn't happen.
San Diego is full of haunted locations.
I’ve been to the Whaley house. I didn’t see anything but it did feel a little creepy (eyes on you feeling). They had some really good ghost pictures that guests have taken over the years. Worth visiting if you’re ever in SD
Poor Octavia
This is a GREAT video. Wow.
Once again, an enjoyable series of stories. However, #3 was a bit confusing using both Bob and Bill.
tory #4 was close to home. As a native San Diegan I spent many hours at the Whaley House. I remember cold spots on the stair case, and on one memorable occasion, the rocking chair in the nursery began to slowly rock. Haven't been back since Old Town became new Old Town.,
Best channel on RUclips!!! Please do indianapolis soon. Thank you
Always looking forward to your videos!
Me too...they have inspired me to start my own scary story channel as well 😊
@@thehaunter6729 Yeah. we all saw that all the previous times you posted this to other peoples' comments. More than once is overkill and rude.
Come now, do curtains that are closed by a ghost really 'close by themselves' ?
when on the ghost train once and the worker said "we've lost a few on that side" points to where i was sitting. been years and i still dont know what he meant
The scariest thing about Blackpool is the amount of spicehead zombies roaming the streets.
I've been to the Whaley House in San Diego numerous times but my all-time most rememberable experience I was walking into the dining room and at the time it was an open museum so the air was just flowing through and I had walked into the dining room and all the air with steel and it got stuffy it was no need for it to be still and stuffy the house was open on a cold winter's Eve. I've also captured a bunch of orbs on the outside of the building. I love going to the Whaley House the only thing left for me to do is go to the Winchester
I use to live 15 minutes from pikeville I’ve always heard about this story also about the Hatfield and McCoys there is a lot of history in this area including the matewan Massacre
I live less than a mile from it!
I’m like 10 minutes away from Matewan!
Bro I’m from pikeville, ky.... now this is getting freaky...
Boiiiiii
@@oreoopancake girl!!!!!
I moved to E-Town, from Hamilton, IL. I need to visit Pikeville.
I am too! Live less than a mile from that cemetary!
Thanks for sharing 😊
I love hearing you say "pantaloons".
Nice! Shout to my home, San Diego. I know the Whaley house very well. A lot of field trips while in school.
As always the background music is perfect.
heyyo this is one of my fav channels. I used to fall asleep to you all the time!!!! tbh I would love to like interview you for my channel.
🤗👻
Top 5s is awesome. THEY HAVE INSPIRED ME TO START MY OWN SCARY STORY/VIDEO CHANNEL. Please be sure to check it out and let me know what you think. Lots of new videos on the way 😊😊😊
@@thehaunter6729 I love top5s, I've been subbed for a long time
Never heard of that in pikeville ky I’m 45 mins away lol but that a long time ago
Black pool pleasure Beach was a nice surprise there at the end
Recognized that photo of the Cadillac lounge right away. I used to right around the corner in an old house with lots of weird happenings. I had digital photos of weird smoke in a corner that only showed up on camera. Unfortunately they're all lost in an old computer but that was a great area to live.
nice work as always top5s.
Thank you CO.AG
I’ve been to that castle.
Not in my hometown, but I have been to the Myrtles Plantation and stayed on the Queen Mary.. I live in Baltimore, Maryland though.. there are a tremendous amount of haunted places in Maryland, Baltimore alone including E.A Poe’s grave...
i live in san diego! when you said san diego, i knew you were going to be talking about the whaley house. it's creepy, but also amazing in the aspect of how well it's been preserved. i went on a "spooky tour" a couple years ago around halloween with my cousins, and we believe we actually caught a picture of yankee jim in the upstairs living area. going there is what actually made me start to believe in ghosts because there were so many weird things that happened that night, i just couldn't explain it.
Thank you to the patreons for sharing their stories!
i love this channel and the way you tell the stories take care from uk
"And the chandelier sometimes swings back and forth for no apparent reason"
The Ghost: "....I have my reasons.... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M GONNA SWWWWWIIIIING FROM THE CHANDELIIIIEEEEEER FROM THE CHANDELIIIIIIEEEEEEER!!!" (imagine hearing that at 3 am when you're just trynna sleep lol best ghost ever)
And Annie out here just causing minor inconveniences and wasting water. THERE'S A SHORTAGE ANNIE! ANNIE IT'S NOT OK! ANNIE IT'S NOT OK! IT'S NOT OK ANNIE!
Thx for the story on Whaley house. San Diego is my hometown and I've been lucky to have visited several times. I have a great picture of my husband on the staircase when I developed the film that picture has light orbs all around him.
Right in the middle of the night, sounds good to me :D more enjoyable to watch
Where are you from?

Michael lives in one of the *MOST HAUNTED* areas of the UK!
Clitheroe Castle has ghosts;
Much of this site dates back to 1186. From former royal owners to tales of woe these buildings have seen a lot and are bounded by historic battles, witchcraft and executions. With poltergeist activity and many sightings it’s regarded one of England’s most haunted places. Unusual feelings of sadness here are usually followed by the sighting of a maid. A man woman and child are often seen together along with cavalier officers, a lady in white and a woman that stares through windows.
Michael lives in (the Borough of Ribble Valley) Lancashire, where the Pendle Hill Witches, along with the Samlesbury witches & others, were tried in the Lancashire Witch Trials.
What an amazing, historical area to live in.
With an ancient and often turbulent and violent past, it's definitely a haunted location and I'd expect, a wonderful place to live!

Was not expecting to ever see Pikeville on here. It’s nice to see my area get some attention. There is a lot of history and ghost stories around the Pike County area.
My family used to go to boldt a ton. I never went but I go by it whenever I take a long motorcycle ride.
Ok that story with the statue is from mississippi to. The Kelly's. Every but except they have 8 kids that died of Scarlett fever. She has an ice axe in her had, as she worked at the ice plant here. Same statue, but she wasn't buried alive.
It was cool seeing about Boldt Castle. I live just over an hour away from it. I've been there a couple times, and that is where I proposed to my, now wife. There are a few areas inside the castle, and the grounds that have some eerie feelings when you go there.
You are the first person in my life time that actually told the boldt castle story correctly, my step grandfather worked on the castle from 77 to 85, and the true story of her cheating got drowned out by the locals due to tourism..!!
now this is what i call dedication to your fans
I live in the Thousand Islands! so cool to see this!
Bro Hillbilly Days is the shit! So fun! I live a hour away from Pikeville and it is a small but pretty interesting place history wise.
Thank you enjoyed
I love your voice so much. Makes a massive difference. The videos arent so bad either 😜
My go to paranormal channel
I've heard of the Whaley place before. Was that featured in Ghost Adventures or something similar? I mean I don't watch many of those shows but it seems familiar.
Briefly, they were looking at a house down the road.
I would love to visit that castle featured in #1 story, if there is any chance given....perhaps after this pandemic and lockdowns.
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates♥️Non-Duality
I used to work at the 1000 islands resort and we had a cruise that would go to bolt castle.
10:42 so it is bob or bill?😂
Love his voice!!!!😘
I have been to Boldt Castle. An amazing place. I hope to get back there after Covid. I will definitely be on the look out for ghosts!
"The house had a Growlery." Oh dear I think the wind is in the east.
I lived in northern NY all my life. Thanks Top 5, you should do our Remington Museum in Ogdensburg Ny. That place in haunted. And cought Miss. Remington in a photo looking out the door window.
Oh wow! Didn’t think Pikeville would be on here
Cloggy, isn't he the mascot for liquid plumber?
Lol! I was totally thinking something along those lines. Never expected to hear that it was the nickname of someone who wore clogs all the time 😁
Me and micheal drimk in the swan royal (one of the reasons we know about it) he really loves his top 5s im glad he got a mention.
24:45 the young girl just found stuff to play with she doesn't know she is dead and therefore can't cross over
I have also been to the Whaley house several several times I grew up near it in mission Bay California
More videos like this please. This was awesome!
Very exciting stories! And tragic stories..
