I actually hate how woods are made to look creepy. I have very rarely felt creeped out in woodland. I recced a walk once on my own and only started to get freaked because I hadn't passed a soul the entire 2 hours and the forest seemed to be nevereending.

You should do more of this! It was awesome…and…there is no shortage of ghost stories and castles…in Wales 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Interesting video. I went to England years ago back in the 1990s. And had two encounters of ghosts. One in the tower of London and the other one in winchester cathedral. I wasn't scared at all. They were friendly. They were two male ghosts. Your videos are great. Hope to see more soon 😀

Ogmore Castle was one of my local haunts, along with Merthyr Mawr Sand Dunes, stepping stones and swinging bridge. Anyway, many years ago, I had a tiny Fiat 900 camper with elevating roof and travelled far and wide in it, sleeping every other night or two at a motorway service station to get cleaned up and refill the water tank that was under the chassis (huge and took ages to fill). One day, I visited Ogmore Castle for the umpteenth time and decided to stay the night in my camper but not in the tiny car park, so I set up behind the stone garden wall of the house house alongside the castle, on the river bank. Had a lovely night sleep but was woke by police very early in the morning saying they had a complaint about me being there, thinking I was a traveller who might cause problems and forced me to move on. I ended up in a lay-by in a place called Red Roses.
