    For some reason YT didn’t let me know that you had a new video uploaded, lucky for me I did a search. What a great storyteller you are, I love learning about all the history of the places you visit, but I think you could definitely start a different channel that was just talking about the history of all the places that you already have visited, and other places around the world, I’m subbed to quite a few History channels. This was great and the EVP’s were great, the history as I’ve said and the Castle itself, what a beautiful building, I love all the curves in it, is it gothic style?. Whatever it is I love it, definitely would be a bugger to heat though. Thank you for another great video. Cheers.

    You are very kind thank you! I love digging into the history of a location I record at but if I'm honest, it's so time consuming I wouldn't have time to do more. Bran dates gothic by hundreds of years but you can definitely see when more modern architects stole their inspiration. There are lots of fires in each room, it would have been very toasty in the winter if they were all lit. I wouldn't fancy having to clean the fireplaces each day though! Thanks for watching :)

    @@EVP-Voices Yes I can see it would overrun your research & work on EVP’s. Thanks for the info on the Gothic style. Yes it would have been very toastie indeed, it was my job to build the fires in our lounge room in a former Victorian pub (delicensed) when my Mum just rented the upstairs for my older sister and I, and when she rented the two flats downstairs and turned it into a French restaurant there was 3 fireplaces in the 3 dining rooms, 2 Victorian, and one where an old wood fired stove would have been, it was also my job to clean them. I didn’t mind it building a fire is really satisfying and being kept warm by it, and the cleaning of them not as bad as my other jobs of cleaning the toilets. After a shower I would then cook the main meals while my Sister did Entree’s and desserts. In Australia it’s more common now in newer places to have central heating, but I have only ever had heating in the lounge room, even our loo was outside at Dad’s. Shameless plug feel free to delete my post, my deceased soulmate’s 1st Album has just been picked up by a Glasgow record label, it’s called “My Mother is really out there traveling in the light” by Pauline M Hynd words & music written by her as well. Any money it makes will go to her Adult Daughter. Also it’s a wonderful Album. Cheers.

    Oooh! Holly Garden’s illustration of the jigsaw was super. My word dear Rachel this was a great visit…decidedly gruesome history though, euch! Those poor folk sliding down aghh! 😱it was so well done, it must take you ages to make your films. It was a really lovely place inside after all. I expected the castle to be terrifying but it looked magical, except for those torture things! Once again they knew your name and called you Tudor. Did the man touch you then, did you feel it? It’s hard to understand. But it was really nice to see you again with your hair long you looked like a ‘Lady’ from long ago upon her balcony. 😘

    You have been busy this evening, delighted to keep you company! Aside from the historic grizzly stuff, Bran was a gorgeous castle and somewhere I'd be happy to live. I'm sure if you watch a horror/gore channel, their depiction would have been more what you expected but we found it simply furnished, and homely. The touch in the exhibit was nothing more than a gentle tug, nothing frightening, just to catch my attention. This happens in many places, but I rarely capture anyone audibly commenting on it. Ah, that was Gina on the balcony not me, she is a bit of a stunner! I stay well out of camera shot! Thanks for watching :)

    Thank you for this video 📹. The real history of Vlad the Impaler is far more interesting to me than Dracula. However, the castle 🏰 of Vlad that I remember seeing in a documentary, is situated on a mountain 🏔️ ridge and is a ruin. If course, I can't remember the documentary. Could it be that he had 2️⃣ castles❓
