The Ghosts of the River Thames Part 1: Lechlade, Gloucestershire to Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire.

Ойын-сауық

Welcome to the Ghosts of The River Thames (Please note some images are for illustration only)
This video focuses on some the hauntings along the River Thames, from close to its source at Lechlade through to the village of Clifton Hampden in Oxfordshire.
Who haunts the Halfpenny Bridge at Lechlade? Who is the ghostly captain of St John’s Lock, and why are there so many ghostly stories connected with this world famous waterway? We’ll look at William Morris’s country retreat as well as a haunted Abbey, a pub and a former school building.
In today’s Post Script, we’ll talk about a haunted property in Oxfordshire that’s owned by a famous person and have a look at some very different vintage postcards. I think this might become a series of videos as I originally wanted this video to finish in Windsor, but there were so many stories, it was impossible to put them all into one video. The next leg of the journey might be Abingdon to Richmond.
I hope you enjoy the video and my apologies that it took so long to load up!
Some of the stories focus on historic events and I hope you feel that my video covers the sad side of history in a respectful and honest way, without the need for sensationalising the past.
As always, I hope you enjoy these tales from the River Thames. Feel free to leave a comment. Thank you so much for your kind words and comments. They mean so much to me.

    When I was around 12 yrs old in the sixty's,I was walking alongside the river Thames with my family.Think it was just beyond Tower Bridge.Standing by the wall looking out to the river, I saw a plump lady,completely dressed in white.Hat,coat shoes everything,even her suitcase was white & her face stone white,but she was smiling.I walked past,thinking bit odd not thinking could be a ghost at that age. There were no street performers or living statues in those days.We walked on when I turned back she was gone . . . . Anyone else experienced this lady of the Thames please? 😱

    Hello! A chocolate biscuit here in the UK is a baked biscuit (not the same a chewy cookie or an Oreo type biscuit) and then there’s chocolate usually on one side. The most common ones (I think) are McVities and I think it’s fair to say there’s fierce brand loyalty in the UK to such products! 👻🙋‍♀️🙏 This is quite comprehensive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McVitie%27s

    So interesting to hear HMS Hood mentioned. My father was stationed on HMS Hood and had his orders changed just four hours before its last voyage. I think he suffered from survivor guilt as many friends and comrades lost their lives. We scattered his ashes in the North Sea as a memorial and that was one of his last wishes.

    I always enjoy your videos, & very interested in ghostly stories from Wars, like your telling of John G P Brownrigg. My mother grew up in the north of England during WW2, & she told me many strange stories. One in particular is of a neighbour who's 3 sons & husband all went off to war. One day 1 of her sons came home, she was so overjoyed & gave him a hug, she ran him a bath & told him she'd prepare his supper. She quickly ran to her neighbours to tell them of her joy at the return of 1 of her sons. Some came to her home to meet him & ask if he had any news of their loved one's, but he was nowhere to be found. The following day some Military personnel knocked on her door, they told her the sad news that her son had died in a battle in Belgium.

I wondered about the writing too as I am left handed and I found (when I was young) I effectively had two types of handwriting; one leant back (as you’ve suggested) and the other went forward with me hooking my left wrist right around. It was always awkward for my family to watch me write like that. I know, the postcard from Mary (1906 - I forgot to add) was great. I wonder if Mary and Madge did become good girls in the end! 👻🤔

No matter how I loved a man, I certainly wouldn't have done away with myself for him. She seems to have been loved by the people around her. Perhaps there is more to the story than we can ever know. There must be more than one entity there. Thank you for this wonderful video and all the remarkably appropriate images.

He was in the European Theater and fought in England, France and Luxembourg.

    Hello Nicola! if you want to include something a little older & different, there are records of a Winter Carnival, including Plays & Poetry competitions, held on The Frozen River Thames at Christmas during the Reign of Edward lV (1461-1470 & 1471-1483) & Henry Vlll (1509-1547). The very interesting thing about these Carnivals, was it was one of the very few times the people of London were allowed so close to the Royal Family & Nobles. There was a large expanse of the River given over to Ice Skating, with a roped off area for the Royal Family & the Court, which was separated from the masses by a rope & a line of Soldiers. I've found fleeting references to this going right back to the time King Canute, but there is a lot more detail given about Edward lV 7 Henry Vlll times. Partly I suspect because there was reference to the Ice giving way in both their times. There is said to be a Ghost, who can be seen standing on the Water, of a Young man, dressed in Tudor Style Garb, forlornly searching for someone. There is a record of several times, those of the Court who were responsible for organising the Carnival, had not tested the thickness & safety of the ice properly, resulting in some or all of the area, breaking up & the loss of of many persons. In my opinion, it wasn't so much a case of them not doing their job properly as it was the Henry Vlll didn't want to cancel the Carnival, he loved Ice Skating & the Plays so much. The Courtiers were the Scapegoats, who were blamed for incompetence. During Henry's courtship of Anne Boleyn, they spent a lot of time at these Carnivals, it was 1 place Queen Kathryn of Aragon did not go. The Thames froze over several times in the 16th century: King Henry VIII travelled from central London to Greenwich by sleigh along the river in 1536, Queen Elizabeth I took to the ice frequently during 1564, to "shoot at marks", and small boys played football on the ice. The last "Frost Fair" as it became known, was in 1814, as warmer overall temperatures made the Ice increasingly dangerous. Below is some reference Links you may find helpful, but I think there are possibly too many tragedies to include in a River Thames video about London, it may be something you may want to investigate for a later episode. It is a fascinating link between Royals, the River Thames & the people of London. Currie, Ian (1996).

    Thank you so much. I have seen illustrations of the Frozen Thames and I think it froze over last in London in the 1920s. Also the lake in Regent’s Park froze over and a rather large group of ice skaters died when the ice gave way, sadly. I will have a look into the frozen Thames and thank you for sharing 👻🙋‍♀️🙏

    Hi Liz, yes indeed. I think the next step might actually be Abingdon in Oxfordshire through to Windsor because there’s a whole array of interesting locations in that area alone. Hampton Court will be a video on its own (maybe with some local ghosts at Richmond) and then there will be a video on Central London and another into the Thames estuary. So many stories! 👻🙋‍♀️

    Miss Tomlin lived only a stone's throw from where I live now - although I'm London born. High Bradfield is a lovely, rural area on the outskirts of Sheffield. Thames side is beautiful. There are some lovely walks along the river. The river's course through London must afford enough stores for a whole series......imagine the area around the Tower!! Shudder. Wonderful stories.

    @@ghostcasebook1266 I very much enjoy your well researched, beautifully edited and wonderfully narrated presentations. I think you've asked what viewers think of the codas: The postcards and other items from your annals are of great interest to me. I myself collect vintage postcards, although most of them are unused: the ones that have been written on and sent are intriguing. I also collect vintage souvenirs-sometimes things unearthed in a bargain bin in a gift shop (so old, but not pre-owned), sometimes items from charity shops, and the kitschier the better. Most of your memorabilia is in better taste. (I've put this hobby on hold for the time being as I'm in the process of downsizing, although not parting with the aforementioned cards and tchotchkes.) Do you believe that items can be haunted and-if so-do you have any in your collection? 👻 I sometimes wonder what I've brought into my home upon rescuing furniture and mirrors from the streets of NYC, but I only take things in fine condition that have good vibes, and as far as I can tell nothing has any attachments. Or if they do, they don't affect me in a noticeable manner. I'm looking forward to your next video! ❤
