I used to correspond with Hanz Holzer when I was a kid between 11-14 years old. He was always very kind, and always wrote back. I've since lost the letters, but always thought it was so nice for such a prolific author to take the time to write back to a kid.
Why was he corresponding with children?
@@dianapearson1771 what's wrong with an author corresponding with a reader? Plenty of authors have done so. CS Lewis, Conan Doyle, Madeline L'Engle, Tolkien, King. Back then that's how people communicated. Pen, paper, stamps.... they were called letters and we would mail them. Would you be upset if I said that he responded to a tweet or a YT comment I made and we had a few back and forth replies? Now, if i said that he was calling my house at 3am, that would be one thing, but geez! Get your mind out of the gutter!
@@meemurthelemur4811 well said meemur.people like her are what's wrong with a lot of things in the world at the moment, just negative people and there dirty minds 🙄
@@usa567hjfth7 too true!
@@usa567hjfth7 how cool!!
Easily one of the best paranormal channels on RUclips. No cheesy voiceovers, gadgets, just clear, researched accountings of the experiences people have had in various corners of the world. Well done.
I like this format: a collection of short stories that aren’t the average overused stories circulating on RUclips.
Hat tip Curious World.
The overused stories that circulate yt courtesy of reddit, making some channels literally identical as they rush to churn out the most recent content before it becomes watered down.
I was 14 in 1971, and was experiencing what I thought was a haunting. My best friend was a witness to strange stuff happening on several occasions. Of course, my parents didn't notice anything other than items going missing. I actually wrote Mr. Holzer, who surprised me by writing back. He suggested that I was dealing with a poltergeist. I believe he was correct, as the scary stuff died down over time. I am 63 now, and wish I had kept the letter with me when I moved out. I had it stored with mementos that got tossed out when my parents separated. Lots of stuff was thrown out that I wished I still had...dang it.
My friends Mom told us that when her cousin was killed in WWII, two " angels" stood at the foot of his parents bed that same night, only for a few minutes. They put off a very bright light that had awakened the parents. After the angels left, they knew what had happened to their son!!!!!!
Curious World your presentational style of giving the facts and letting the viewer decide is brilliant. The delivery and pace are top notch. "Its looking at us". Excellent.
Truly. With so many annoying voices on youtube,. This one is clear as a bell and as consistent as time (uh,.. in a relatively stable gravity well...)
Brilliant. Clear, concise, no undue drama or hysterics. Excellent.
Ooh, love that last one about New Orleans! I read an article on a weather website once, about the storm surge during Katrina, and it said that emergency services still receive calls to this day, with nothing but static on the other end. When people are sent to investigate the address the call came from, there isn't a house there at all anymore - just a concrete slab. Never expected to read such an eerie thing in an article about weather conditions!
Wow. I never heard about the ghost calls. Poor 911 staff, they already deal with enough trauma, they don't deserve the paranormal on top of all of that.😮
Perfect for an early night relaxing on Saturday, cheers for this, I’ll hit the 👍 and share
Joining in with a glass of wine (kills germs!!)🤗😁
@@christineparis5607 yes me too. And I have read studies where wine is very good.
Anti-oxidants blah,blah...
They had me at, it's very good!😂
Thank you all. I appreciate it.
watching this early saturday night also
Perfect, it's my bedtime again.
Lol
Don't let the bed bugs bite 😬
Zzzzzzz...👻💀😈
I really enjoyed your video and I’m now in the process of binge watching the rest. I like your style of delivery and that you don’t try to sensationalize the content! Very well done indeed!
Thank you, Linda.
I live in Bewdley near Kidderminster so this story was great. I've found the haunted kidderminster house on street view.... 25 Birmingham Road, Kidderminster, DY10 2BX. Its cream and renovated - no longer 3 church shaped windows but can still see where 3rd one was and the old fancy plasterwork around door etc. Its a care home - wonder if it's still haunted.
The last one was my favorite. Thank you very much for a great narration. And like of course
Love this channel! The stories are so interesting and your calm voice narrating is so relaxing to listen to 😃 also there is something about an good old fashioned ghost story that is just perfect! ❤
Fantastic, you actually found some stories I've never heard!!
Thank you, much appreciated!
You have a very soothing reading voice. 😴😴😴
Well narrated, music not overpowering, factually presented. A job well done! 🙂
More of these Paranormal ones please, you do them so well!
I've lived in Yeovil for a number of years, loads of old empty buildings, walked past E&C many times and wondered it's history. I have seen a ghost but the other side of town, in the flat about the dry cleaners opposite the Westminster pub!
I love how your videos begin so simply and quietly. Everything stands still for a moment when you start to speak, and then you pull us in for a fascinating story.
Thank you.
Jolly Good!!!!! That last one gave me goosebumps.
Seeing this report on Kidderminster it reminds me of an incident not far away in Bromgrove where I lived.
One night I was walking back from Catshill village towards my house off the Old Birmingham Road up Braces Lane. It was very dark. My wife said there was someone behind us. I looked and there was a very tall man all in black from head to toe. I grabbed my wife's hand and walked fast towards the lamp post on the junction. When I looked back he was gone. I'm 6ft tall and the man was easily 7ft. A few weeks later we awoke to see this apparition at the bottom of our bed but it faded when my wife screamed.
Years later I was talking with a guy who's family have lived there for generations. I said we had a weird experience in Braces Lane.
Without any prompting he said " Was it a tall man in black"
It seems it had been seen for generations before...
That's creepy! Thanks for sharing!
Eleven : Eleven I know all these areas in the West Midlands. We drive down the same roads. I would love to see a ghost.👻
@@englishcountrylife3805 my children see things all the time. They drew me what they saw. Be careful what you wish for. I would NEVER want to see what they've seen.
Wow, I absolutely hate that. Did he have a wide brim hat?
I was wondering if he had a wide brimmed hat as well! A quite common shadow person
I love your way of delivering these stories-straightforward and nonjudgmental
A long time coming but well worth the wait. Thank you for more great tales and well narrated.
Love your channel, would love to hear more "Tales of the Paranormal"! Great job, thank you!
I absolutely love your voice! It's the perfect voice or narration and your inflection is spot-on! Thank you for another wonderful video. I always look forward to your content. :)
He does have a pleasant voice and British accent.
Perfection. No drama or stupid effects.
Like older horror films.
Omg !!! Thanks for sharing love all you share
I've read most of Hans Holzers books, he was WAY ahead of his time in paranormal activity hunting! There was a recent show on TV that featured Holzers daughter and his old cases. They did updates and showed old photos and really scary recordings by Holzers medium, who worked on his cases with him. He seems to have been a very reputable and professional ghost researcher. He was extremely detailed with his information and record keeping. He never seemed to exaggerate his experiences or try to show anything but what he saw or captured on camera. I think the famous photo of the brick floating at the Borley Rectory (since burned down) was his....
I saw some of the interviews with his daughter and read about him in Underwood's book. I always thought the floating brick photo was for Life magazine.
@@CuriousWorldProductions
You are correct. The photo was taken by Mr. David E. Sherman, Life photographer on April 5th, 1944.
Miss Cynthia Ledsham, a researcher attached to Time and Life Magazines, said that they were initially disappointed that the demolition of the building had progressed so far. There was almost nothing left. She said, "As Mr. Scherman pressed the trigger, a brick, or part of a brick, suddenly shot 4 ft. up in the air in front of what remained of the kitchen passage (where much activity had been witnessed in the past). The three of us saw it." She also added, "If indeed, this was a genuine paranormal phenomenon, then we have the first photograph ever taken of a poltergeist projectile in flight".
I read a book in 7th grade and remember seeing the photo. It made a tremendous, chilling impression on me, and as I believe it was a Hans Holzer book, I assumed he had taken it. After your post, I looked on Google (where I should have checked first) and found the information I just copied. It is so fascinating!!
The show is called The Holzer Files and is on Discovery+. I really like it.
Another outstanding video. Your content is always so well presented and interesting. Thanks for uploading this. *:-)*
I loved this! I started reading Hans books when I was a kid! ♥️
Me three! I started reading when I was in middle school, *loved* his work.
Thanks for posting after a stressful week it’s good to hear some interesting and spooky stories 👻
Wow! Fascinating stories, I can’t decide which one I like best. It’s a tossup between Peter Underwood and New Orleans.
Thanks for another upload, always love watching your channel.
Fantastic video, as always. I like how you're obviously very interested in the paranormal but keep everything cool and measured.
Perfect timing as always.
Your work is outstanding, your voice is great, it's not creepy, but logical and reassuring. Thanks for creating such an interesting subject.
I grew up in a paranormal paradise. In National City CA I grew up in my dad's house and my bedroom was the scene of a brutal murder of an elderly lady. It turns out that her husband was the one who took a baseball bat to her head. Her head was smashed to a pulp. My dad married a woman when I was 5 who was a witch and a medium. She sensed the old woman's presence and would talk to her. The old woman's spirit turned to throwing things, appearing at the foot of beds, she would speak to us and everything a spirjt does. I was in fear for 11 years until I moved to my mom's here in Alamogordo NM.
Jon Villalobos That's creepy, you can heard that old women ghost talk as well, Even you are not witch or medium?
I'm not at all a witch or a medium. I'm a natural clairvoyant. I am sensitive to it. I have supressed this ability over the years.
Jon Villalobos Thank you for reply. Wish you luck.
BOLLOX
Why am I watching this at night in bed,with the cupboard ajar?!!! Enjoyed though.
Great stories😸. I love the style and content. Also you have a perfect voice for narrating. Keep up the good work please❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😸
"Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid."
- A New Orleans Tale of Horror by Daryl Hall and John Oates.
How fascinating, must dig it up.
@@hankfacer7098 I tried to check the book out, but the librarian said, "No Can Do."
"Say it isn't so.?
I can't go for that
@@TheSaneHatter I was unable to find the paperback but was able to get my hands on the audio book to play on my Personal Radio...
Loud sounds in a house full of nine children? Spooky.
They are all farting
Positivity uncanny a house with nine children full of loud sounds.
We're blessed with three children and have become immune to loud sounds unless a child is screaming help Daddy or Mummy.....We've develop a rating system if it's 9-10 emergency,
7-8 come quickly, 5-6 be there in few sweetly, 3-4 what's the matter now? 1-2 Mummy & Daddy aren't home at the beep please leave your name what's your current issues. 0-0 Go back to sleep Mummy & Daddy are having boom boom time.
They may have been more obedient back in the day. I grew up in a household with a very distinct Victorian model, and rowdiness was not encouraged.
@@scallopohare9431 That doesn't mean it didn't happen.
@@Moonbeam143 Huh? I never said that. Just that children in earlier times wereoften expected to be quiet.
I loved the intro...very creepy. Just what I needed today. Thank you so much!
Finally managed to watch this . Thank You very much CW 👍 Brilliant and delightfully creepy stories . I seem to recall that the ' it's looking at us ' also occurred during a Ghost Hunt at Dover Castle in Kent some years ago . As far as I can recall , on that occasion the words were ' what is it looking at ? It's looking at us . Look away then . ' Also two voices one male and one female . Anyway I really enjoyed your video and appreciate your effort . Nice to see your subbs grow ! 👍♥️
Hi Fruitbat. The Kent story sounds suspiciously similar to the one Peter Underwood told LBC Radio. It's on RUclips if you want to listen.
@@CuriousWorldProductions It probably is the same story , the Castle one was more recent so probably just a copy. Best wishes 👋
Protip: There are almost no deceased individuals talking through mediums. Those are not people. That was not someone's son. That is not someone's brother. And obviously, that wasn't a polish merc. If it was anything at all, it was a hateful thing with a burning jealousy of humans. Never talk to them. Even when they help, they hurt. Some play the long game. But the end results in a broken life and/or body. They are not people.
Sounds like you have had some bad experience with this phenomena ?
@@dickiedollop there's never a good experience. Theres alot of this going all the way back to some very old literature. It never ends well. It's always a trick. And they have nothing but jealous hatred for people. And yes, some experience. Not personally but second hand. The personal stuff is more of the violent variety. That stops as soon as you understand you're way stronger than them.
sultryjmac That sounds fair enough, I try to keep an open mind to this sort of thing and don’t dismiss it, I think your right people do fool around with the occult and spirits and that is an area that’s well left alone.
@@dickiedollop fair enough. Just be wary of something pointing you in a direction. It's usually the wrong path.
Dark entities and demons. Doing the bidding of their master which is to steal, kill and destroy. Avoid at all costs
always pleased to see another upload
Great video! More paranormal stories please
Excellent narration. Well put and interesting. Thank you.
Perfect...watching now
I've discovered your wonderful channel a few days ago and have been binge watching every night since! Definitely one of the better channels on here. Thank you for what must be a lot of work and research. Also your voice is really soothing to me :)
Glad you have enjoyed it, and thank you. I'll be back this week.
@@CuriousWorldProductions Looking forward to that! :) Keeping busy so far, haven't seen all the videos yet! But don't let that stop you haha. Thank you for all this great content.
Love your channel. Such good information, well-presented. Was pleasantly surprised that all of these stories are new to me, even the Hans Holzer one; I've been reading his books since the 70's. Thank you.
Oh my word i live in Yeovil and have always wondered about the Elephant and Castle sign thank you this video was great.
Another brilliant video! Hans Holzer’s books are fun to read. I had to get special permission to check out “The Ghost Hunter’s Strangest Cases” when I was 9. I also checked out Stephen King’s “It” at the same time. Thank goodness my parents always said yes and didn’t actually monitor the library books, LOL.
Dam that last story gave me chills. Thank you so another great video. ❤❤
Wonderful presentation! It’s nice to hear ghost stories that even though frightening, aren’t complete poltergeists! I can actually sleep without leaving a light on with these ones. Too bad we couldn’t hear the voices from Peter Underwood’s recording saying “it’s looking at us.” That would’ve been really neat! Cheers 🥂
When its 3:22am and you know you'll probably won't get any sleep tonight so you end up watching this
12:53am so not far off for me 😁
Brilliant as always. Trust you and yours are safe and well. From Rotorua, New Zealand.
Very enjoyable,thanks much appreciated.
This was a great video. It’s interesting because I just returned from New Orleans about a week ago. When you’re not walking down the bustling streets of Bourbon and on the off streets at night it’s just an eerie quiet and dark place. I’ve heard of strange tales like New Orleans And Jamaica. The local folk even talk about that hotel near the Mercedes Benz dome. They said that there’s bodies still trapped inside of it but the state won’t Allow the government or National Guard to retrieve the rest of the bodies. The damage structure is a very eerie site.
That's awful... and creepy. I'll look into that.
Curious World it is the Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans. It was under construction and part of the building collapsed. 3 men were killed but it is to dangerous to retrieve their bodies as of right now. It is really sad for the families. And there are no shortage of ghost stories here in New Orleans. The LaLaurie Mansion, Mertle Plantation, St Roch Cemetery and many other places. You could definitely fill a video
Thank you Curious Wotld for not over saturating your channel with too many ads! When there are too many ads it’s so difficult to follow through a story properly. I understand the need for ads but not every two minimum like so many channels! Will definitely support you on Patreon to keep your channel going!
Thank you, I try to keep it down to one ad segment every 10 minutes. I don't have Patreon, but I do have a Paypal link in the video description if you'd like to donate once.
Back in 1989 my wife and I took our two sons ( ages 7 and 9) to Disneyland. Going up the coast we also toured the Queen Mary ship in Long Beach. I was watching my kids when a woman appeared out of nowhere in front of me . She was dressed in a long flowing dress, large hat that had clear scarf over it. Her type of dress looked like late 19 th. century. Our eyes immediately met , for how long I don't know. She smiled at me then looked down at my oldest son, who was about 10 feet away from me .When I glanced at my son, he was also looking back at her. When I turned back to her , she disappeared. At the time , I had no idea who she was . About ten years later I was in a library browsing . I came across a picture of that same woman in a book .You guessed it . The Queen Mary .
Wow, great story!
Whoa!!!
Nice. I would had loved to experience that.
I have been on that ship top to bottom several times . Somehow I find your story entertaining but hard to believe.
Total BS!
I really enjoy paranormal stories and I stumbled upon Curious World by accident, and I've been sitting here listening to many videos today. I really enjoy that you have a nice normal voice. So many other videos are spoiled either by a horrible narration, computerised voices or sounding like they are reading from a badly written script. I look foward to watching, and listening to, as many videos as I can find made by Curious World. Refreshing intelligence.
A well researched and fascinating film.
I enjoyed this immensely. Well done! Subscribed.
I shouldn't have watched this before I went to sleep 🤦🏾♂️😂
Why? Are you a 5 year old? xP
haha
take no notice of them
Do not worry the vast majority of ghosts are quite harmless. Most seem to just be a sort of record rather than anything that can respond to your presence. They appear to carry out the same actions again & again. Also one sometimes will help you & can even keep you from harm so be prepared to listen. Once a ghost prevented a fire at a house where I lived by warning me a candle had been left in an unsafe place.
@@sarahstrong7174 how did the ghost warn you about the candle? 🕯
@@sweettangerines8182 The ghost woke me with its very calm but definite presence and spoke to me in a quiet, calm, gentle, kind, friendly but authoritative voice, similar to that which a caring teacher might use, saying that my friend had gone to sleep leaving a candle burning and it was not safe. There was an imperitive feeling communicated with the words, so accordingly I immediately arose & went upstairs to my friends room & found things to be as the spirit had spoken.
That haunted Kidderminster house is now a residential care home of all things.
Station Sixtyseven just gonna get more haunted.
Wow, i feel sorry for the night staff then !!!.
Good stories well done. Thanks for sharing Patti Ratcliffe from Southern Illinois ☺️♥️
That was awesome. Please do more stories like these.
You are one of the few unprecedented storytellers of our times
Here are the last two sentences of Hans Holzer's obituary published in the Daily Telegraph newspaper back in 2009. "Hans Holzer, who died on April 26, is survived by two daughters. Through one of them, he has since sent his heartfelt "thanks" to The Daily Telegraph for its interest."
How utterly beautiful! Your stories, your voive, the pictres and your soulfull narration.
Thank you so much ! 🌷
Thank you, Zahria.
Thank you for uploading some cool ghost stories. It's nice to think about something fun with the huge fear of Covid 19 going around right now.
@Karen Soo but it's not, really. At least, not for the vast majority of people. What IS scary about it, is the extreme over reaction of the populace.
@@kari7403 hmmm 🥺
@Newsbender So true....
Great Report on 'Paranormal Encounters'.
Good tales,bitter sweet about the ghostly Girl waving back,I would've liked to know what happened to her fate😉
Tiny 1 story house on the edge of the Quarter goes for $750,000, an empty lot in the worst part of Treme goes for $175,000. No way a house would stand empty in New Orleans for 100 years. And it would collapse if not maintained in that climate.
Excellent. I wish you’d do a history of Boleskine House where Alistair Crowley performed the Abramelin operation. And the curious incidents which there afterwards occurred by different owners.
I liked these stories, all of which are new to me. The Cotswold tale about the camera made me smile too, its the sort of thing I sometimes imagine for my own stories. I once asked a colleague, a self-proclaimed supernaturalist how cameras (which are very tangible things) could be expected to photograph spirit beings which had no bodies. Her reply was that her group used special ones, heat seeking or thermal imaging cameras, and not an everyday one such as the Canon in the film!
~8:28
"... Mr John Robinson - a recluse - died (alone in the house) in May of 1958, his body was found a month later ..."
Well, this occurrence could've worked as some kinda "exorcism", as a rotting and decaying body laying around inside that house for a month might've terrified, disturbed and deterred even the most unnerving ghosts from the house.
Knowing, he had "sealed himself inside" (even his own mailbox), automatically makes you wonder, how he's been finally discovered? - What a weird imagination for us and certainly an unforgettably horrifying experience for the person(s) actually finding him in June; omg.
Is there any place I can read more about the account from New Orleans? That sounds interesting!
Look it up on Google and you're bound to find something .
Brilliant thank you.
Gee that was interesting, especially about New Orleans. Wishes from Australia
Love your videos. Fascinating, well researched, and great photos👍🏻👍🏻
This channel is just great !
In spite of what "John" said they did indeed engage in (to put it mildly) harassment. They forcibly engaged in firearm confiscation (removing protection from looters) even people not effected by the flood and later deemed by the courts to be unlawful and unconstitutional. One guardsman when asked if the orders to confiscate civilian firearms bothered him he said "I'm just fallowing orders". Does that phrase sound familiar?
I'm torn, do I watch this now, or later tonight when I am tucked into my bed...
Yes!! Definitely!
Scrolling through C.W stories, and can't believe I missed this one.. ! Well written and narrated in your usual great style..❤ your channel... xx
Thanks so much.
As always, a first class video. Thank you
Fantastic
Yes, thank you for a Saturday night video! Haven’t seen you in a while. Have I missed your alerts?
I really liked the recap the show with his daughter did. I'm on the fence about the Amityville story. The people who moved in after the Lutzes claimed nothing happened, but unless you're there, its impossible to fairly judge. .
I'm afriaid this is only my second upload of the year, so you haven't missed much.
@@CuriousWorldProductions
You are worth waiting for! I love your channel! Do whatever you want, its great!
Curious World Thank you! I thought something was wrong with my list!
Excellent video my friend. I needed this; it relaxed me completely.
The Victorian houses always creep me out!
This was an awesome video! Thank you for sharing it, truly!
Awesome video. Thank you 🤗
Thanks CW💜🙏👻
Good stories. Never open yourself to spirits for any reason.
New Orleans, man. That city is haunted asf.
Omg the ending of the second to last story …creepy “it’s looking.” | “it’s looking at us” and it is believed to be from another time, talking about their camera 😱😱😱 creepy ! I wonder if the ghosts were the scared ones not realizing they are the ghosts ?!?!? I wish this could be explored more 😮
Awesome Video as Always 💙💚💕Thanks💜👍🍻💛
I was never a firm believer in the paranormal or supernatural, but last year I rented the house of a former co-worker. I say former, because he died in the house and wasn't found for a while. As you can imagine, decomp and bleach is a hard smell to get rid of. I spent 10 days in that house. By the 10th day I had to get the fuck out of there. I've never seen anything like the things I saw in that fucken house. And the problem wasn't with my former co-worker, it was the other fuckers that were there. And honestly a lot of that shit defies fucken logic. And I gotta say, I've been around the block, seen some things and did some stuff. But, what I do know is that you can't really fuck with something that's already dead, but my God can they sure fuck with you.
Are you IRISH
Also, thanks for your upload titled “Dark Tales from Texas” from 4 months ago! Loved it!!!!
I enjoyed making that one. I could have made ten more of those!
Of Texas??? Please do!!! It’s a curious state! 😂. PS. Stay safe. This virus is crazy! Love from the other side of the world... Texas. ❤️
