Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,467 --> 00:00:02,601
I can't even see...
2
00:00:02,767 --> 00:00:03,868
hands in front of my eyes.
3
00:00:08,567 --> 00:00:11,667
I just heard scratching coming
from right underneath me.
4
00:00:13,701 --> 00:00:15,100
That was wild.
5
00:00:15,267 --> 00:00:16,501
We've got to get down there.
6
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:20,901
On this episode
of "Expedition X"...
7
00:00:21,067 --> 00:00:22,868
- It's caved in.
- No.
8
00:00:23,033 --> 00:00:25,100
...my team continues
their investigation into
9
00:00:25,267 --> 00:00:27,400
the haunted history of
Robin Hood.
10
00:00:27,567 --> 00:00:28,767
Tombstones are right here.
11
00:00:28,934 --> 00:00:31,868
In Nottingham, they
explore an ancient prison...
12
00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:34,300
There are some dangerous
forces out here,
13
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:35,801
Ooh!
14
00:00:35,968 --> 00:00:39,467
...supposedly overrun with
the ghosts of outlaws.
15
00:00:39,634 --> 00:00:41,300
Were you sentenced right here?
16
00:00:44,267 --> 00:00:47,167
And even meet Robin Hood's
legendary nemesis,
17
00:00:47,334 --> 00:00:49,868
the real life
Sheriff of Nottingham.
18
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:52,968
I am roughly
the 1300th sheriff.
19
00:00:53,133 --> 00:00:56,367
As they try to solve a deadly
medieval mystery.
20
00:00:56,534 --> 00:00:57,467
I think this is
the Witches Bowl.
21
00:00:58,601 --> 00:00:59,601
Hello?
22
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:08,300
What the hell is happening in
this forest?
23
00:01:08,467 --> 00:01:11,567
Phil and Heather have already
had a terrifying time...
24
00:01:11,734 --> 00:01:13,200
What is here?
25
00:01:13,367 --> 00:01:16,467
...following in the supposed
footsteps of Robin Hood,
26
00:01:16,634 --> 00:01:18,501
the legendary outlaw.
27
00:01:18,667 --> 00:01:20,901
So far, they've explored
a secret network
28
00:01:21,067 --> 00:01:22,200
of medieval tunnels
29
00:01:22,367 --> 00:01:24,601
beneath the English city
of Nottingham,
30
00:01:24,767 --> 00:01:28,467
where the spirits of former
bandits are said to linger.
31
00:01:28,634 --> 00:01:29,766
Wow!
32
00:01:29,767 --> 00:01:31,968
The search for
a ghostly highwayman's sword
33
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,667
led Phil deep into an ancient
well, where he recovered
34
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:40,000
a centuries-old coin from
the time of Robin Hood himself.
35
00:01:40,167 --> 00:01:42,801
Oh, look!
This coin is Robin Hood old.
36
00:01:42,968 --> 00:01:44,467
Meanwhile, Heather encountered
37
00:01:44,634 --> 00:01:47,701
strange, seemingly hostile
paranormal activity...
38
00:01:47,868 --> 00:01:49,200
Ooh!
39
00:01:49,367 --> 00:01:50,267
Did you just throw that rock?
40
00:01:51,634 --> 00:01:53,901
...that sent the team to
Newstead Abbey.
41
00:01:54,067 --> 00:01:55,968
I've had terrifying
experiences here.
42
00:01:56,133 --> 00:01:59,567
An ancient monastery in
the heart of Sherwood Forest.
43
00:01:59,734 --> 00:02:03,000
This is where the Black Friar
has been sighted.
44
00:02:03,167 --> 00:02:05,000
And the 800-year-old complex...
45
00:02:05,167 --> 00:02:06,200
Right there, right there.
46
00:02:06,367 --> 00:02:09,067
...more than lived up to
its haunted reputation.
47
00:02:11,968 --> 00:02:14,267
After Phil witnessed
unexplained phenomena
48
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:17,167
deep within
the so-called Devil's Wood...
49
00:02:17,334 --> 00:02:18,300
Light!
Light!
50
00:02:20,267 --> 00:02:22,667
I just heard her say, "Phil."
51
00:02:22,834 --> 00:02:24,868
...Heather received
a cryptic message...
52
00:02:26,467 --> 00:02:28,467
Go out?
Go out where?
53
00:02:28,634 --> 00:02:32,667
...before the EMF drone
detected something shocking.
54
00:02:32,834 --> 00:02:33,901
Wait, and another!
55
00:02:34,067 --> 00:02:35,767
We are right in the middle of
all of these.
56
00:02:35,934 --> 00:02:39,167
The team are surrounded by
strange anomalies.
57
00:02:39,334 --> 00:02:40,367
We're surrounded right now.
58
00:02:40,534 --> 00:02:42,300
Now, they must unravel
59
00:02:42,467 --> 00:02:44,567
the secrets of Sherwood Forest.
60
00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:47,167
This thing's going crazy.
61
00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:50,100
How is that even possible?
62
00:02:50,267 --> 00:02:53,100
OK, look, this one,
it's about 75 meters that way.
63
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,501
You gotta get over there
and check it out.
64
00:02:56,667 --> 00:02:59,400
OK, I'm gonna see if anything
shows up on the FLIR.
65
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:04,868
So from where Heather is...
66
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:08,167
this should be about 75 meters.
67
00:03:09,901 --> 00:03:13,067
What would give off
an EMF signal?
68
00:03:13,234 --> 00:03:14,567
There's no electrical wiring...
69
00:03:16,067 --> 00:03:19,000
no cell tower, nothing at all.
70
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,701
Something's been rooting
through here,
71
00:03:23,801 --> 00:03:25,000
digging up acorns.
72
00:03:25,868 --> 00:03:28,100
But unless that animal had
a microwave attached to it,
73
00:03:28,267 --> 00:03:31,667
there is no explanation for
what we got on the EMF drone.
74
00:03:40,701 --> 00:03:41,701
Did you find anything?
75
00:03:41,868 --> 00:03:44,300
Nothing that can explain
whatever that is.
76
00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:47,367
So what does this tell you?
77
00:03:47,534 --> 00:03:50,000
Look, to me, this is a sign of
paranormal activity.
78
00:03:50,167 --> 00:03:53,567
Something was out here watching
us, not just one thing,
79
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,601
many things surrounding us.
80
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:57,267
Any new hits while I was gone?
81
00:03:57,434 --> 00:04:00,567
No, but there's a couple hours
till sunrise.
82
00:04:00,734 --> 00:04:02,167
Let's refresh the battery
on the drone.
83
00:04:02,334 --> 00:04:03,667
You keep looking around here.
84
00:04:03,834 --> 00:04:05,367
Let's see if we can get any
more activity.
85
00:04:05,534 --> 00:04:06,834
All right.
86
00:04:07,968 --> 00:04:10,601
After searching late into
the night, but with no further
87
00:04:10,767 --> 00:04:14,367
unusual activity, we catch up
with Josh the next morning.
88
00:04:14,534 --> 00:04:17,467
- Hey, there are my merry men.
- Hey, Josh.
89
00:04:17,634 --> 00:04:19,901
How are the sights and sounds
of Sherwood Forest?
90
00:04:20,067 --> 00:04:22,667
We had a very long and very
strange night out here.
91
00:04:22,834 --> 00:04:25,467
Yeah, I saw what looked like
a mysterious light
92
00:04:25,634 --> 00:04:27,868
over the forest,
then heard a sound
93
00:04:28,033 --> 00:04:29,767
that was like my name
being called.
94
00:04:29,934 --> 00:04:32,667
Yeah, and I got the words
"go out" on my spirit box.
95
00:04:32,834 --> 00:04:34,567
It seemed like something wanted
to draw me into
96
00:04:34,734 --> 00:04:35,667
the forest, too.
97
00:04:35,834 --> 00:04:37,901
And then we were encircled
by energy.
98
00:04:38,067 --> 00:04:39,367
Hold up, what does that
even mean?
99
00:04:39,534 --> 00:04:40,868
Encircled by energy?
100
00:04:41,033 --> 00:04:43,467
Well, we had these EMF spikes
that surrounded us.
101
00:04:43,634 --> 00:04:45,501
I think we really need to dig
into this forest.
102
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:47,067
I think something special is
going on here.
103
00:04:47,234 --> 00:04:48,467
- Mm-hmm.
- Amazing.
104
00:04:48,634 --> 00:04:51,400
Before you guys go full
tree hugger over there,
105
00:04:51,567 --> 00:04:54,501
there is someone you urgently
need to talk to back in town.
106
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,000
I have set a meeting for you
107
00:04:56,167 --> 00:04:57,868
with the actual,
honest to God,
108
00:04:58,033 --> 00:05:00,267
Sheriff of Nottingham.
- No way.
109
00:05:00,434 --> 00:05:01,667
That's an actual person?
110
00:05:01,834 --> 00:05:03,567
And wait, does that mean
we're in trouble?
111
00:05:03,734 --> 00:05:04,967
Yes, you're in trouble.
112
00:05:04,968 --> 00:05:07,067
And actually, he's in trouble,
too, because it turns out
113
00:05:07,234 --> 00:05:11,100
his ancient office, which sits
in the oldest prison in
114
00:05:11,267 --> 00:05:13,567
Nottingham, is super haunted.
115
00:05:13,734 --> 00:05:16,000
There are reports
of shadow figures
116
00:05:16,167 --> 00:05:18,767
and violent poltergeists.
And guess what?
117
00:05:18,934 --> 00:05:21,467
He wants you two
to investigate.
118
00:05:21,634 --> 00:05:23,000
- Amazing.
- Truly.
119
00:05:23,167 --> 00:05:25,267
And as Robin Hood himself would
no doubt tell you,
120
00:05:25,434 --> 00:05:28,300
the Sheriff of Nottingham is
not someone to be kept waiting.
121
00:05:28,467 --> 00:05:31,567
So I would get out of that
forest and go meet him.
122
00:05:31,734 --> 00:05:33,067
We'll fly as fast as an arrow.
123
00:05:33,234 --> 00:05:34,467
You and your archery.
124
00:05:34,634 --> 00:05:37,200
Hey, I'm kind of good at it.
I beat you, didn't I?
125
00:05:37,367 --> 00:05:39,200
- Yeah, rematch is on, though.
- Fine.
126
00:05:39,367 --> 00:05:40,667
Guys, you're still
sitting there.
127
00:05:40,834 --> 00:05:43,100
- Get going.
- See you.
128
00:05:43,267 --> 00:05:44,467
Bye, Gates.
129
00:05:44,634 --> 00:05:45,667
From Sherwood Forest,
130
00:05:45,834 --> 00:05:47,501
we head back
to the city of Nottingham
131
00:05:47,667 --> 00:05:50,167
to meet Robin Hood's
legendary nemesis.
132
00:05:50,334 --> 00:05:54,567
Well, his modern-day successor
anyway, Zafran Khan.
133
00:05:54,734 --> 00:05:56,501
When did the Sheriff
of Nottingham start?
134
00:05:56,667 --> 00:05:58,501
How many sheriffs have
there been?
135
00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:01,968
The Sheriff of Nottingham
started in 1449.
136
00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:06,000
I am roughly the 1300th sheriff
of our city.
137
00:06:06,167 --> 00:06:07,266
Wow.
138
00:06:07,267 --> 00:06:09,567
The main primary role of
the sheriff was to keep
139
00:06:09,734 --> 00:06:12,501
the king's peace, to make sure
nobody in Nottingham was trying
140
00:06:12,667 --> 00:06:14,467
to overthrow the monarchy.
141
00:06:14,634 --> 00:06:16,567
I thought his main role was
catching Robin Hood.
142
00:06:16,734 --> 00:06:18,567
That was also part of it, yes.
143
00:06:18,734 --> 00:06:21,367
The responsibilities have
changed, thankfully, now.
144
00:06:21,534 --> 00:06:23,801
My role now is an ambassador
to the city,
145
00:06:23,968 --> 00:06:25,701
so I do everything ceremonial.
146
00:06:25,868 --> 00:06:27,567
So you're a bit more popular
than the sheriff in the time
147
00:06:27,734 --> 00:06:30,100
of Robin Hood?
- Yes, 100%.
148
00:06:30,267 --> 00:06:32,667
And my understanding is there
is a particular building
149
00:06:32,834 --> 00:06:34,567
you want us to go take
a look at.
150
00:06:34,734 --> 00:06:36,601
Yes, the National
Justice Museum,
151
00:06:36,767 --> 00:06:38,367
the oldest prison in Nottingham,
152
00:06:38,534 --> 00:06:40,300
and also my old office.
153
00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:42,367
There's a lot of
dark secrets there.
154
00:06:42,534 --> 00:06:45,300
And some strange things have
been reported over the years.
155
00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:46,567
OK.
156
00:06:46,734 --> 00:06:47,901
There's a couple of people
waiting there to share
157
00:06:48,067 --> 00:06:48,934
their stories with you.
158
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,701
And I'd love to hear
what you find.
159
00:06:50,868 --> 00:06:52,400
I'll be interested to hear
what they have to say.
160
00:06:52,567 --> 00:06:53,467
All right.
Thank you, Sheriff.
161
00:06:53,634 --> 00:06:54,767
My pleasure.
162
00:06:54,934 --> 00:06:56,567
Legend has it that Robin Hood
163
00:06:56,734 --> 00:06:59,767
was held captive inside this
centuries-old prison.
164
00:06:59,934 --> 00:07:03,667
Today, it no longer holds
prisoners, instead standing as
165
00:07:03,834 --> 00:07:06,300
a symbol of Nottingham's
violent past.
166
00:07:06,467 --> 00:07:09,167
We're meeting with its curator,
Stephen Dennis,
167
00:07:09,334 --> 00:07:12,100
and longtime guide,
Claire Finn, who both claim
168
00:07:12,267 --> 00:07:14,267
to have had
disturbing encounters
169
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,267
inside these foreboding walls.
170
00:07:16,434 --> 00:07:18,767
So I'm guessing there have been
a lot of criminals
171
00:07:18,934 --> 00:07:20,200
in and out of this place.
- Mm-hmm.
172
00:07:20,367 --> 00:07:21,567
Take us back to the beginning.
173
00:07:21,734 --> 00:07:23,267
Well, you got to go back
to the Middle Ages
174
00:07:23,434 --> 00:07:24,567
for the very beginning
in this building.
175
00:07:25,567 --> 00:07:26,667
The deeper you go
into the building,
176
00:07:26,834 --> 00:07:27,868
the older it gets.
177
00:07:28,033 --> 00:07:28,934
Once you get to the bottom,
178
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,868
you're at the oldest
medieval sections
179
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:32,567
which are cut
into the rock face.
180
00:07:32,734 --> 00:07:34,767
The next layers up,
you'll get to
181
00:07:34,934 --> 00:07:36,767
the 17th and 18th centuries.
182
00:07:36,934 --> 00:07:39,367
Above that,
you got the courts--
183
00:07:39,534 --> 00:07:41,367
the most modern part
of the building really.
184
00:07:42,701 --> 00:07:44,167
There's five levels altogether
185
00:07:44,334 --> 00:07:45,667
all for different
time periods.
186
00:07:45,834 --> 00:07:48,501
And the lower you go,
the deeper into the history
187
00:07:48,667 --> 00:07:50,367
of Nottingham.
- Yeah, that's right.
188
00:07:50,534 --> 00:07:51,567
So, in medieval times,
189
00:07:51,734 --> 00:07:53,901
what were the conditions of
this prison like?
190
00:07:54,067 --> 00:07:55,501
The jail was notorious
for having
191
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:57,868
absolutely awful conditions.
192
00:07:58,033 --> 00:08:00,868
You're just put in a communal
cell, which is basically a pit,
193
00:08:01,033 --> 00:08:04,868
full of other people,
all hungry, all fighting over
194
00:08:05,033 --> 00:08:07,000
a scrap of blanket,
absolute squalor.
195
00:08:07,167 --> 00:08:10,100
Disease was rife--
jail fever, they called it,
196
00:08:10,267 --> 00:08:12,467
and if you tried to escape,
you get in a fight,
197
00:08:12,634 --> 00:08:14,501
they would remove you from
the group and put you in
198
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:17,167
the oubliettes, which is
a French word,
199
00:08:17,334 --> 00:08:19,100
means "place to forget."
200
00:08:19,267 --> 00:08:23,167
There was this bottle-shaped
cave beneath the building,
201
00:08:23,334 --> 00:08:25,968
designed for one person,
who you could just drop down
202
00:08:26,133 --> 00:08:28,067
the hole and forget.
203
00:08:28,234 --> 00:08:30,167
And no one's gonna hear
your screams down there.
204
00:08:30,334 --> 00:08:31,968
That's absolutely horrific.
205
00:08:32,133 --> 00:08:34,667
And overseeing all of those
horrific conditions was
206
00:08:34,834 --> 00:08:35,868
the Sheriff of Nottingham.
207
00:08:36,033 --> 00:08:37,667
It was
his responsibility, yeah.
208
00:08:37,834 --> 00:08:41,167
The Sheriff of Nottingham was
a complete nasty piece of work.
209
00:08:41,334 --> 00:08:43,100
So if the Sheriff of
Nottingham was involved
210
00:08:43,267 --> 00:08:44,968
from the beginning,
I'm guessing maybe
211
00:08:45,133 --> 00:08:46,801
the Robin Hood story
connects to this.
212
00:08:46,968 --> 00:08:49,167
Yes, there's a very famous
tale about him
213
00:08:49,334 --> 00:08:53,267
being arrested by the sheriff
and brought here as a prisoner.
214
00:08:53,434 --> 00:08:55,601
The stories say that
he was put in an oubliette
215
00:08:55,767 --> 00:08:57,567
at the very bottom
of the building.
216
00:08:57,734 --> 00:09:01,200
But obviously no jail kept him
locked up for long, did it?
217
00:09:01,367 --> 00:09:03,868
- He did escape.
- How did he get out?
218
00:09:04,033 --> 00:09:05,601
Nottingham has cave systems.
219
00:09:05,767 --> 00:09:07,567
- Oh, we've seen that.
- Mmm.
220
00:09:07,734 --> 00:09:10,868
And if you know
the way into those caves,
221
00:09:11,033 --> 00:09:14,167
you may have an access route
out of the building.
222
00:09:14,334 --> 00:09:17,667
So people would be imprisoned
here-- would they be
223
00:09:17,834 --> 00:09:20,000
penalized here?
- They would be executed here.
224
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,601
In fact, ten men were executed
directly behind you,
225
00:09:24,767 --> 00:09:26,367
outside this building.
- Right here?
226
00:09:26,534 --> 00:09:27,467
Right on those steps.
227
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:28,767
Hanged.
228
00:09:28,934 --> 00:09:29,868
What did they do
with the bodies
229
00:09:30,033 --> 00:09:31,300
after they hanged
these prisoners?
230
00:09:31,467 --> 00:09:34,767
They were buried in the jail,
in the exercise yard.
231
00:09:34,934 --> 00:09:38,667
So, with criminals,
executions, torture,
232
00:09:38,834 --> 00:09:42,100
this place has got to have some
paranormal activity.
233
00:09:42,267 --> 00:09:44,400
Yeah, so this has been going
on for many, many years.
234
00:09:44,567 --> 00:09:46,767
It's staff, it's public,
who've all had
235
00:09:46,934 --> 00:09:48,667
various horrible experiences.
236
00:09:48,834 --> 00:09:50,868
We've had people
who've been physically sick
237
00:09:51,033 --> 00:09:52,167
in certain areas
of the building.
238
00:09:52,334 --> 00:09:54,400
People have witnessed
dark shadow figures
239
00:09:54,567 --> 00:09:56,100
coming towards them.
240
00:09:56,267 --> 00:09:59,000
They've heard
talkings and footsteps
241
00:09:59,167 --> 00:10:00,467
when there's nobody there.
242
00:10:00,634 --> 00:10:03,000
And I saw a figure in
the exercise yard once.
243
00:10:03,167 --> 00:10:04,167
So you're telling me
both of you
244
00:10:04,334 --> 00:10:05,467
think this place is haunted?
245
00:10:05,634 --> 00:10:06,934
- Absolutely, yeah.
- Oh yeah.
246
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:10,300
Are there notorious prisoners
of the past that are believed
247
00:10:10,467 --> 00:10:12,100
to still be here today?
248
00:10:12,267 --> 00:10:14,167
So some believe that there is
still a spirit of a man
249
00:10:14,334 --> 00:10:15,968
called Thomas Gray.
250
00:10:16,133 --> 00:10:18,000
He was a local killer
to Nottingham.
251
00:10:18,167 --> 00:10:20,767
He was actually the last man
to be hanged here.
252
00:10:20,934 --> 00:10:23,667
And he's also buried now in
the exercise yard.
253
00:10:23,834 --> 00:10:26,667
He's a very aggressive,
very volatile spirit.
254
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:28,100
How does that manifest?
255
00:10:28,267 --> 00:10:30,467
We've had members of
the public who've gone down
256
00:10:30,634 --> 00:10:31,567
into the dark cell.
257
00:10:31,734 --> 00:10:33,767
Thomas Gray was locked up
down there.
258
00:10:33,934 --> 00:10:35,467
And there's no light
in there at all.
259
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:36,868
It's complete isolation.
260
00:10:37,033 --> 00:10:39,267
People will come out,
and they've had scratches.
261
00:10:39,434 --> 00:10:41,868
In fact, we've actually got
a photograph that they believe
262
00:10:42,033 --> 00:10:43,868
is Thomas Gray.
- Ooh.
263
00:10:44,033 --> 00:10:46,701
- Oh, right there.
- Creepy.
264
00:10:51,801 --> 00:10:53,267
2
He's right beside that person.
265
00:10:54,267 --> 00:10:56,767
Yeah, it's like he wants to be
quite intimidating.
266
00:10:56,934 --> 00:10:58,868
And why do they think
it's Thomas Gray?
267
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:02,100
Because once he would have
been found guilty, that area
268
00:11:02,267 --> 00:11:03,968
there would have been used as
a condemned cell,
269
00:11:04,133 --> 00:11:06,167
where he would have waited
for his execution.
270
00:11:06,334 --> 00:11:07,533
What?
271
00:11:07,534 --> 00:11:09,300
So his final moments alive
would have been right there?
272
00:11:09,467 --> 00:11:11,267
- Yeah.
- Oh!
273
00:11:11,434 --> 00:11:13,767
OK, that's a strange picture.
274
00:11:15,367 --> 00:11:17,067
Do we have permission to
investigate the building?
275
00:11:17,234 --> 00:11:18,367
Absolutely.
276
00:11:18,534 --> 00:11:20,367
Yeah, but please be really,
really careful.
277
00:11:20,534 --> 00:11:23,100
I truly believe there are some
dangerous forces out here.
278
00:11:25,067 --> 00:11:27,801
With centuries of horrific
history stacked beneath us,
279
00:11:27,968 --> 00:11:30,000
Phil and I decide to split up.
280
00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:33,000
He'll begin in the exercise
yard, the final resting place
281
00:11:33,167 --> 00:11:36,167
of some of Nottingham's most
notorious prisoners,
282
00:11:36,334 --> 00:11:39,300
including murderer Thomas Gray,
where shadow figures
283
00:11:39,467 --> 00:11:41,100
are often sighted.
284
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:44,167
Meanwhile, I'll start in
the 18th century courtroom,
285
00:11:44,334 --> 00:11:45,567
where visitors report seeing
286
00:11:45,734 --> 00:11:47,868
apparitions and feeling
phantom touches.
287
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,267
So we're in the courtroom.
288
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,968
This is where these criminals
would be judged,
289
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:57,167
where they would
learn their fate.
290
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,300
You want to talk about
a space that has
291
00:12:00,467 --> 00:12:03,868
layers of people's pain,
292
00:12:04,033 --> 00:12:06,868
this whole space
feels so oppressive.
293
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,868
People report hearing things,
294
00:12:11,968 --> 00:12:14,367
seeing things, shadow
figures specifically,
295
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,868
and being physically touched.
296
00:12:17,033 --> 00:12:18,868
I think I'm gonna do
a call-and-response session
in here.
297
00:12:24,601 --> 00:12:27,167
I'm going to place
one REM pod...
298
00:12:27,334 --> 00:12:29,567
right here, because this is
where prisoners would have been
299
00:12:29,734 --> 00:12:31,467
sentenced sometimes to death.
300
00:12:36,968 --> 00:12:38,868
And because people have seen
shadow figures,
301
00:12:40,467 --> 00:12:42,200
I wanna see if anything will
come up on the XLS.
302
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:46,767
My name is Heather.
303
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:49,801
You can walk in front of me.
304
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:53,901
This device will see you.
305
00:12:55,367 --> 00:12:56,701
You can use this REM pod.
306
00:12:56,868 --> 00:12:57,901
All you have to do is
307
00:12:58,067 --> 00:12:59,667
get close to it.
It'll go off.
308
00:13:01,167 --> 00:13:02,167
I'll take it as a yes.
309
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:04,667
Is there anyone here with me?
310
00:13:10,567 --> 00:13:11,567
So you're there then, huh?
311
00:13:14,667 --> 00:13:15,667
Were you a prisoner here then?
312
00:13:19,567 --> 00:13:20,567
Yes.
313
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:23,400
Were you sentenced right here?
314
00:13:27,434 --> 00:13:28,801
I'm pointing right
at the REM pod,
315
00:13:28,968 --> 00:13:30,968
but nothing is showing up
on the XLS.
316
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,367
And were you sentenced to die?
317
00:13:44,267 --> 00:13:45,267
Did you scratch...
318
00:13:46,767 --> 00:13:48,100
those people in this prison?
319
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Were you a murderer?
320
00:14:01,467 --> 00:14:02,567
Yes.
321
00:14:04,767 --> 00:14:05,701
Ooh, I just got chills.
322
00:14:10,801 --> 00:14:11,801
OK.
323
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
This has got to be
the exercise yard,
324
00:14:15,167 --> 00:14:17,601
which is where some prisoners
were buried.
325
00:14:19,167 --> 00:14:21,300
Look, tombstones are
right here.
326
00:14:21,467 --> 00:14:22,767
"TG"--
327
00:14:22,934 --> 00:14:25,701
Thomas Gray, the last person
328
00:14:25,868 --> 00:14:28,868
executed here at
the Nottingham prison,
329
00:14:29,033 --> 00:14:30,300
1877.
330
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:41,501
I know I just heard footsteps
over there.
331
00:14:49,667 --> 00:14:52,167
I mean, that's one of the things
that people report hearing.
332
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:55,467
But my guess is...
333
00:14:58,167 --> 00:15:01,567
The acoustics of this
exercise yard are bizarre.
334
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:03,801
Sounds bouncing off the walls.
335
00:15:03,968 --> 00:15:06,567
I'm putting it down to just
the physical structure
336
00:15:06,734 --> 00:15:09,100
and not a spiritual ghost.
337
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,667
What's interesting is,
despite all those reports of
338
00:15:12,834 --> 00:15:15,667
shadow figures, I'm not getting
anything on the XLS.
339
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,868
But this REM Pod going off,
340
00:15:20,033 --> 00:15:22,200
how many people
were sentenced
341
00:15:22,367 --> 00:15:24,567
to death right there?
342
00:15:24,734 --> 00:15:27,367
I feel as though I need to go
down to the cells where
343
00:15:27,534 --> 00:15:31,000
they went directly after
learning their life was over.
344
00:15:32,834 --> 00:15:34,767
OK, if you want me to go down
to the cells,
345
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,367
I'll go down to the cells.
346
00:15:36,534 --> 00:15:37,968
I'll leave this XLS running
347
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,367
in case anyone else shows up.
348
00:15:53,667 --> 00:15:57,868
It's so crazy how every room
you go into,
349
00:15:58,033 --> 00:15:59,267
the further down you go,
350
00:15:59,434 --> 00:16:03,100
it feels like a completely
different era of history.
351
00:16:05,567 --> 00:16:06,667
Ooh, look!
352
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:12,467
This spot right here.
I know this well.
353
00:16:13,868 --> 00:16:15,000
This is where the photo
was taken.
354
00:16:16,267 --> 00:16:17,400
Right here.
355
00:16:18,567 --> 00:16:22,801
And my best guess is someone
taking a long exposure
356
00:16:22,968 --> 00:16:24,767
and shifting a little bit as
they did it
357
00:16:25,901 --> 00:16:27,767
and making his image kind of be
358
00:16:27,934 --> 00:16:30,667
splattered behind him like that.
359
00:16:30,834 --> 00:16:32,100
All right, let me see what
happens if I take
360
00:16:32,267 --> 00:16:33,367
some photos down here.
361
00:16:36,667 --> 00:16:39,467
If I shake a little bit
as I do that...
362
00:16:40,701 --> 00:16:42,267
When I shake,
gets a little muddier,
363
00:16:42,434 --> 00:16:44,868
but not exactly
creating something
364
00:16:45,033 --> 00:16:47,167
that looks like a double
of what's in here.
365
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:50,267
I don't know.
366
00:16:50,434 --> 00:16:51,767
It's bizarre, I mean,
it could be some kind of
367
00:16:51,934 --> 00:16:55,100
digital corruption, but
this is a tough one to crack.
368
00:16:57,267 --> 00:16:58,400
Let's see what else
we find back here.
369
00:17:04,167 --> 00:17:05,167
Whoa.
370
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,901
What is this?
Is this one of the cells?
371
00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:14,968
This has got to be
the dark cell.
372
00:17:15,133 --> 00:17:16,067
Look at this.
373
00:17:17,167 --> 00:17:21,100
There are no windows in here.
374
00:17:22,467 --> 00:17:24,601
This is original.
375
00:17:24,767 --> 00:17:29,567
This is what the prisoners
would have sat on, slept on,
376
00:17:29,734 --> 00:17:31,767
lived on, Thomas Gray included,
377
00:17:32,767 --> 00:17:35,501
in complete darkness
for days and days
378
00:17:35,667 --> 00:17:37,467
and weeks and weeks at a time.
379
00:17:37,634 --> 00:17:39,901
This is also where people have
claimed to be scratched.
380
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,167
And listen, this is called
the dark cell,
381
00:17:43,334 --> 00:17:45,567
so I think I have to see
382
00:17:45,734 --> 00:17:47,467
what it's like
to be in here...
383
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,400
in complete darkness.
384
00:17:53,868 --> 00:17:55,367
Time to close the door.
385
00:17:55,534 --> 00:17:56,567
I gotta be in here solo.
386
00:18:06,367 --> 00:18:07,601
This place is giving me
the creeps.
387
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:23,067
This must be it.
388
00:18:23,234 --> 00:18:24,167
Wow.
389
00:18:26,367 --> 00:18:27,367
Oh my God.
390
00:18:28,868 --> 00:18:30,801
It's so tiny and cramped!
391
00:18:32,367 --> 00:18:35,801
This cell is where
you are spending
392
00:18:35,968 --> 00:18:39,767
your last moments alive, suffering.
393
00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:43,167
And these chains...
394
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,501
they are incredibly heavy.
395
00:18:47,667 --> 00:18:49,000
And look how many hooks
there are!
396
00:18:49,167 --> 00:18:52,267
I mean, they could have had
so many people in here,
397
00:18:53,601 --> 00:18:56,968
all aware that this was it.
398
00:18:57,133 --> 00:18:58,100
Their life is over.
399
00:18:58,267 --> 00:18:59,501
They were about
to be executed.
400
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:02,467
Let's see if we can allow them
401
00:19:02,634 --> 00:19:04,000
to communicate
through the Tempest.
402
00:19:08,801 --> 00:19:09,868
Is there anyone with us?
403
00:19:13,667 --> 00:19:16,367
You can communicate with this
device, you can make a noise.
404
00:19:19,267 --> 00:19:20,601
I mean, like I just heard...
405
00:19:22,067 --> 00:19:27,601
what sounded like a scraping of
metal on the floor, almost like
406
00:19:27,767 --> 00:19:31,467
if a metal chair
or a metal grate...
407
00:19:32,467 --> 00:19:33,467
You can make a noise.
408
00:19:40,467 --> 00:19:41,501
You've arrived?
409
00:19:46,167 --> 00:19:47,167
I can't even see...
410
00:19:48,467 --> 00:19:50,000
hands in front of my eyes.
I mean...
411
00:19:51,167 --> 00:19:53,367
I cannot imagine being in here
for days at a time.
412
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,100
Whoa.
413
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:05,601
I just heard--
I mean it sounded like...
414
00:20:07,901 --> 00:20:08,901
scratching...
415
00:20:09,901 --> 00:20:11,501
coming from
right underneath me.
416
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:17,300
What is that?
417
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,300
You're letting me know
you're here.
418
00:20:20,467 --> 00:20:21,400
Who are you?
419
00:20:22,868 --> 00:20:23,868
What is your name?
420
00:20:31,501 --> 00:20:32,501
Were you a male prisoner?
421
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:37,100
Were you locked up in
these chains?
422
00:20:42,901 --> 00:20:44,868
Are you who I was
communicating with upstairs?
423
00:20:45,868 --> 00:20:47,200
Are you Thomas Gray?
424
00:20:52,901 --> 00:20:53,901
Also you?
425
00:20:54,901 --> 00:20:56,000
You're over here as well?
426
00:20:59,767 --> 00:21:01,367
Who are you?
Why are you still here?
427
00:21:04,367 --> 00:21:05,367
Do you wanna hurt me?
428
00:21:10,067 --> 00:21:11,868
Scratch?!
You're [bleep] kidding.
429
00:21:12,033 --> 00:21:13,000
Look at that.
430
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:21,901
2
We've heard about people
being scratched.
431
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,667
People will come out
and they've had scratches.
432
00:21:26,901 --> 00:21:29,167
You were the spirit
that scratched.
433
00:21:30,868 --> 00:21:31,868
That's nuts.
434
00:21:39,667 --> 00:21:42,000
Ooh, I definitely heard
scratching coming
435
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:43,601
from directly beneath me.
436
00:21:45,267 --> 00:21:46,267
OK.
437
00:21:47,701 --> 00:21:48,701
That was wild.
438
00:21:53,901 --> 00:21:55,167
Where was that coming from?
439
00:21:59,801 --> 00:22:00,868
What is below me?
440
00:22:01,868 --> 00:22:03,400
There's nothing in that area.
441
00:22:05,167 --> 00:22:07,601
Oh, wow!
442
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:08,801
Look down there.
443
00:22:08,968 --> 00:22:10,200
This has got to be...
444
00:22:11,267 --> 00:22:13,167
the oldest part of the prison.
445
00:22:18,667 --> 00:22:20,200
I think we gotta get
down there.
446
00:22:20,367 --> 00:22:21,701
I'm gonna call in Heather
for backup.
447
00:22:23,667 --> 00:22:25,100
Hey Heather,
how's it going up there?
448
00:22:26,968 --> 00:22:28,100
It's been kind of intense.
449
00:22:28,267 --> 00:22:31,801
I actually got the word
"scratch" on my Tempest.
450
00:22:31,968 --> 00:22:33,166
Come on!
451
00:22:33,167 --> 00:22:35,801
Do you know what I just
recorded beneath me, Heather?
452
00:22:35,968 --> 00:22:39,000
- The sound of scratching.
- No!
453
00:22:39,167 --> 00:22:40,601
And the only thing beneath me
454
00:22:40,767 --> 00:22:43,801
is the oldest part
of the prison.
455
00:22:43,968 --> 00:22:46,601
I think that means that before
I go any deeper, we need to
456
00:22:46,767 --> 00:22:48,901
regroup and head down together.
- Totally agree.
457
00:22:49,067 --> 00:22:51,167
- I'll head your way.
- Copy that.
458
00:22:56,367 --> 00:22:57,400
It was this way.
459
00:22:57,567 --> 00:22:58,701
- OK.
- Down here.
460
00:22:59,701 --> 00:23:01,467
Oh!
461
00:23:01,634 --> 00:23:02,868
All right,
help me lift this grate.
462
00:23:08,467 --> 00:23:09,467
Wow.
463
00:23:10,567 --> 00:23:12,300
- OK, can you hold this for me?
- Yep.
464
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,868
- The light,
give me that light...
- OK.
465
00:23:26,767 --> 00:23:27,767
Check this out.
466
00:23:28,767 --> 00:23:29,801
Oh, wow.
467
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,367
- Recognize these walls?
- Oh, yeah.
468
00:23:33,534 --> 00:23:34,767
Looks just like City of Caves.
469
00:23:35,767 --> 00:23:38,100
These caves were hand-carved.
470
00:23:38,267 --> 00:23:41,701
Just touching these chisel
marks is like feeling history.
471
00:23:43,267 --> 00:23:45,801
And just like what I saw under
Ye Olde Salutation Inn.
472
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:49,868
I mean, this could be
800 years old.
473
00:23:50,033 --> 00:23:52,167
Wow.
You can see the chisel marks.
474
00:23:52,334 --> 00:23:54,000
Yeah, or the scratch marks.
475
00:23:57,167 --> 00:23:58,667
You think that's
what you heard?
476
00:23:58,834 --> 00:24:00,267
I mean, honestly,
sounds a lot like it.
477
00:24:02,267 --> 00:24:05,167
We've gone back to the oldest
section of this prison
478
00:24:05,334 --> 00:24:06,767
from the medieval period.
479
00:24:06,934 --> 00:24:08,167
Potentially the time of
Robin Hood.
480
00:24:08,334 --> 00:24:11,801
Yeah, but that was also
the time of the most cruelty.
481
00:24:11,968 --> 00:24:15,000
Right, people getting
tortured, executed.
482
00:24:15,167 --> 00:24:16,267
Even someone in the oubliette.
483
00:24:17,501 --> 00:24:19,267
Well, what do you want to do?
484
00:24:19,434 --> 00:24:21,000
There's something special
I want to do right here.
485
00:24:21,167 --> 00:24:22,100
All right, let's see it.
486
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:32,100
OK, so you know how we've done
the Estes Method, right?
487
00:24:32,267 --> 00:24:35,667
Yeah, where you are sensory
deprived, I ask questions.
488
00:24:35,834 --> 00:24:38,701
And I respond with the idea
being that I'm influenced by
489
00:24:38,868 --> 00:24:40,100
whatever spirit is around me.
490
00:24:40,267 --> 00:24:42,901
But this time, I'll use
a quill and paper.
491
00:24:43,067 --> 00:24:44,467
Now, I know this isn't
a traditional quill,
492
00:24:44,634 --> 00:24:47,167
but I'm hoping it'll still act
as a trigger object.
493
00:24:47,334 --> 00:24:49,000
So something that people of
the medieval time
494
00:24:49,167 --> 00:24:51,267
would recognize.
- Exactly.
495
00:24:51,434 --> 00:24:53,167
I'm gonna be facing this
wall, I'm gonna double
496
00:24:53,334 --> 00:24:55,100
my headphones up,
so you ask your questions,
497
00:24:55,267 --> 00:24:56,501
I won't be able to
hear them,
498
00:24:56,667 --> 00:24:58,267
and I'll just write
whatever responses
499
00:24:58,434 --> 00:24:59,433
pop into my mind.
500
00:24:59,434 --> 00:25:02,300
OK, let's see what the ghosts
have to say.
501
00:25:02,467 --> 00:25:03,767
OK, white noise headphones.
502
00:25:10,868 --> 00:25:12,100
Noise-cancelling headphones on.
503
00:25:19,501 --> 00:25:20,567
Heather?
504
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,200
Heather, can you hear me?
505
00:25:28,501 --> 00:25:32,767
So at this point, Heather cannot
hear anything I am saying.
506
00:25:32,934 --> 00:25:33,968
I'm gonna begin.
507
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,167
Why are you scratching?
508
00:25:48,767 --> 00:25:49,801
Help...
509
00:25:53,801 --> 00:25:55,267
me.
510
00:25:55,434 --> 00:25:56,467
What do you need help with?
511
00:25:58,567 --> 00:26:00,067
What happened to you down here?
512
00:26:06,267 --> 00:26:07,667
Death.
513
00:26:07,834 --> 00:26:08,901
How did you die?
514
00:26:16,067 --> 00:26:17,601
Torture.
515
00:26:20,067 --> 00:26:21,400
What crime did you commit?
516
00:26:27,367 --> 00:26:28,634
Greed.
517
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:32,400
What are you trying to tell us?
518
00:26:35,968 --> 00:26:36,968
Go.
519
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:40,667
Out.
520
00:26:44,868 --> 00:26:45,868
What happened?
521
00:26:47,267 --> 00:26:48,267
What is that look for?
522
00:26:49,701 --> 00:26:50,767
What?
523
00:26:56,667 --> 00:26:58,167
Something just went like this.
524
00:26:58,334 --> 00:26:59,667
All right,
there's nothing there.
525
00:26:59,834 --> 00:27:01,167
Nothing fell on you?
526
00:27:01,334 --> 00:27:03,200
Ooh!
527
00:27:03,367 --> 00:27:06,267
- Something just hit the floor...
- Beneath us.
528
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,267
2
That was underneath us.
529
00:27:16,667 --> 00:27:17,767
Oh, look here!
530
00:27:21,667 --> 00:27:25,400
Oh my gosh, there is
a chamber down there.
531
00:27:25,567 --> 00:27:27,667
That could be the oubliette.
532
00:27:27,834 --> 00:27:29,601
I mean, they said
there's a chamber
533
00:27:29,767 --> 00:27:31,000
in the lowest part
of the dungeon.
534
00:27:31,167 --> 00:27:33,868
Whatever we just felt came
from down there.
535
00:27:34,033 --> 00:27:35,767
We need to find a way
down there.
536
00:27:35,934 --> 00:27:37,033
I'm gonna grab my light.
537
00:27:39,501 --> 00:27:40,701
Oh, here, look!
538
00:27:42,267 --> 00:27:44,667
Wow.
An opening.
539
00:27:48,601 --> 00:27:51,601
There is nothing in here that
could have made that sound.
540
00:27:53,567 --> 00:27:54,667
Where does this tunnel go?
541
00:27:56,601 --> 00:27:58,167
- Oh, my God.
- What do you see?
542
00:27:59,267 --> 00:28:00,267
Get down here.
543
00:28:03,767 --> 00:28:05,267
Check this out--
down here.
544
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:09,067
I think this...
545
00:28:10,167 --> 00:28:12,000
is the oubliette.
546
00:28:12,167 --> 00:28:14,100
It definitely looks like it,
that bottleneck shape.
547
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:21,300
Whoa.
548
00:28:24,501 --> 00:28:26,067
This is wild.
549
00:28:27,167 --> 00:28:28,701
- This doesn't feel good.
- No.
550
00:28:28,868 --> 00:28:30,100
Look at that.
551
00:28:30,267 --> 00:28:32,300
Yeah, it looks like it was
covered up, sealed sometime
552
00:28:32,467 --> 00:28:34,267
probably in 1800.
553
00:28:34,434 --> 00:28:37,767
Be dropped from up there,
down here to be forgotten.
554
00:28:37,934 --> 00:28:40,267
And remember, in the Ballad of
Robin Hood, he was thrown
555
00:28:40,434 --> 00:28:43,367
into the oubliette, and--
- He escaped.
556
00:28:43,534 --> 00:28:45,767
Maybe through here.
557
00:28:45,934 --> 00:28:48,367
This could be where that sound
was coming from.
558
00:28:48,534 --> 00:28:49,467
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
559
00:28:57,667 --> 00:28:59,467
Wow, it just keeps
going and going.
560
00:29:01,701 --> 00:29:02,767
- It's caved in.
- No.
561
00:29:02,934 --> 00:29:04,367
Yeah, it's a dead end.
It's a dead end.
562
00:29:05,868 --> 00:29:08,267
Yeah, not getting to there.
563
00:29:08,434 --> 00:29:11,868
But we've learned that most of
these tunnels connect,
564
00:29:12,033 --> 00:29:13,868
so who knows where it leads.
565
00:29:14,033 --> 00:29:16,400
Definitely at one point,
it led to freedom.
566
00:29:16,567 --> 00:29:17,601
Did at least for Robin Hood.
567
00:29:18,667 --> 00:29:20,400
Yeah, I've not seen any signs
568
00:29:20,567 --> 00:29:22,100
of what could have made
that noise.
569
00:29:22,267 --> 00:29:23,200
Wait a second.
570
00:29:23,367 --> 00:29:24,868
What was the last thing
I wrote down?
571
00:29:25,033 --> 00:29:27,100
You wrote, "Go out."
572
00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:29,567
So when I was at
Newstead Abbey,
573
00:29:29,734 --> 00:29:31,567
I got "go out" there.
574
00:29:33,634 --> 00:29:35,567
And it seemed to lead me
to the forest.
575
00:29:35,734 --> 00:29:37,801
So think it's sending
the same message?
576
00:29:37,968 --> 00:29:40,701
Well, if you're escaping from
prison, where do you hide out?
577
00:29:40,868 --> 00:29:42,467
Well, it'd be Sherwood Forest.
578
00:29:42,634 --> 00:29:43,800
Exactly.
579
00:29:43,801 --> 00:29:45,901
It feels like we're being led
there again and again.
580
00:29:46,067 --> 00:29:47,567
Well, then, let's crawl
our way out of here,
581
00:29:47,734 --> 00:29:49,367
make our way there tomorrow.
- All right.
582
00:29:50,567 --> 00:29:53,667
I want to figure out who or
what keeps telling us
583
00:29:53,834 --> 00:29:55,100
to go out.
584
00:29:55,267 --> 00:29:57,801
If Robin Hood or any of
the outlaws from his day were
585
00:29:57,968 --> 00:30:01,567
to get that message, it would
definitely have meant returning
586
00:30:01,734 --> 00:30:03,868
to the safety
of Sherwood Forest.
587
00:30:04,033 --> 00:30:05,767
So that's exactly
where we're heading,
588
00:30:05,934 --> 00:30:08,801
to meet with Pagan historian
Ashley Mortimer.
589
00:30:08,968 --> 00:30:11,467
I'm hoping he can help us
understand why the forest keeps
590
00:30:11,634 --> 00:30:15,100
drawing us back by explaining
its spiritual story.
591
00:30:15,267 --> 00:30:16,868
What do you know about
the mystical practices
592
00:30:17,033 --> 00:30:18,367
of Sherwood Forest?
593
00:30:18,534 --> 00:30:21,167
For all of human history,
there's been a spark of
594
00:30:21,334 --> 00:30:23,467
Paganism in Sherwood Forest.
595
00:30:23,634 --> 00:30:26,501
The forest harbored outlaws
like Robin Hood,
596
00:30:26,667 --> 00:30:29,667
but also it harbored people
who were outcasts
597
00:30:29,834 --> 00:30:31,400
and on the outskirts
of society.
598
00:30:31,567 --> 00:30:33,167
So that would be
the archetypal character
599
00:30:33,334 --> 00:30:34,667
of the witch.
- Mm-hmm.
600
00:30:34,834 --> 00:30:37,400
You know, the unpopular woman
who everybody quietly went to
601
00:30:37,567 --> 00:30:38,767
to get their medicine.
602
00:30:38,934 --> 00:30:42,367
Here in Sherwood Forest,
Pagans practiced rituals for
603
00:30:42,534 --> 00:30:44,367
well over a thousand years.
604
00:30:44,534 --> 00:30:47,100
That is going to leave
a huge energetic imprint
605
00:30:47,267 --> 00:30:48,300
on this space.
606
00:30:48,467 --> 00:30:50,567
Yeah, that will indeed
leave an imprint.
607
00:30:50,734 --> 00:30:52,801
In two different locations in
our investigations,
608
00:30:52,968 --> 00:30:55,267
I got the words, "Go out."
609
00:30:55,434 --> 00:30:58,000
And I wonder if that means
go out to nature,
610
00:30:58,167 --> 00:30:59,701
get back to the forest.
611
00:30:59,868 --> 00:31:01,901
The forest is the energy
magnet of this area.
612
00:31:02,067 --> 00:31:06,167
It is the place where nature
and humanity meet spirituality.
613
00:31:06,334 --> 00:31:07,367
How does that manifest?
614
00:31:07,534 --> 00:31:09,267
What does that look like
or feel like?
615
00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:11,868
As you make your way through
the forest, then be aware of
616
00:31:12,033 --> 00:31:13,200
your own senses.
617
00:31:13,367 --> 00:31:15,701
Listen for what changes,
what moves-- the birds,
618
00:31:15,868 --> 00:31:18,467
the animals, and how
they react and respond to you.
619
00:31:18,634 --> 00:31:20,267
And how the trees
react and respond to you.
620
00:31:20,434 --> 00:31:23,367
Well, if we were to seek
these energies out,
621
00:31:23,534 --> 00:31:25,400
where exactly should we go?
622
00:31:25,567 --> 00:31:27,367
You could try
the Witches Bowl.
623
00:31:27,534 --> 00:31:30,200
That's a spot where those
rituals have been practiced
624
00:31:30,367 --> 00:31:32,300
for thousands of years.
625
00:31:32,467 --> 00:31:34,567
The Witches Bowl is surrounded
by yew trees.
626
00:31:34,734 --> 00:31:37,567
Some of these trees are
800 years old or more.
627
00:31:37,734 --> 00:31:39,467
They hold the energetic imprint
628
00:31:39,634 --> 00:31:41,467
of what's taken place
around here.
629
00:31:41,634 --> 00:31:43,601
And that record is there to be
released and unlocked
630
00:31:43,767 --> 00:31:45,901
by those who know how to ask.
- Hmm.
631
00:31:46,067 --> 00:31:47,267
It's got an air of...
632
00:31:48,267 --> 00:31:50,167
darkness and could be
magically dangerous.
633
00:31:50,334 --> 00:31:52,567
If it wants you to leave,
you're gonna have to listen
634
00:31:52,734 --> 00:31:53,968
to your own senses and do so.
635
00:31:54,133 --> 00:31:56,667
I think we need to head into
the ancient part
636
00:31:56,834 --> 00:31:58,567
of Sherwood Forest.
- Definitely.
637
00:31:58,734 --> 00:31:59,767
The Witches Bowl.
638
00:31:59,934 --> 00:32:01,067
That's clearly where
we got to go next.
639
00:32:01,234 --> 00:32:03,434
And I got the perfect way to
get there.
640
00:32:05,901 --> 00:32:08,367
- Hey, so this is fun.
- More than fun.
641
00:32:08,534 --> 00:32:10,667
You know how we had so much
luck with the quill as
642
00:32:10,834 --> 00:32:12,367
a trigger object, right?
- Mm-hmm.
643
00:32:12,534 --> 00:32:14,367
Well, what better way to
trigger some activity than
644
00:32:14,534 --> 00:32:17,167
riding into Sherwood Forest on
an original mode of
645
00:32:17,334 --> 00:32:19,667
transportation that Robin Hood
would have used?
646
00:32:19,834 --> 00:32:22,701
I do kind of feel like
Robin Hood right now.
647
00:32:22,868 --> 00:32:25,167
Heading into Sherwood Forest
in style.
648
00:32:25,334 --> 00:32:26,267
Let's go.
649
00:32:28,367 --> 00:32:30,167
Whoa!
All right.
650
00:32:30,334 --> 00:32:32,501
Sun has set.
651
00:32:32,667 --> 00:32:34,667
What do you say we tie up
the horses, head into
652
00:32:34,834 --> 00:32:36,300
the deeper part of the forest?
- Yeah.
653
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Let's keep an eye out
for everything.
654
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,167
Come on boy.
655
00:32:43,567 --> 00:32:46,567
This is potentially the most
powerful part
656
00:32:46,734 --> 00:32:48,801
of Sherwood Forest.
657
00:32:51,267 --> 00:32:55,067
Don't forget, we need to pay
attention to our surroundings.
658
00:32:55,234 --> 00:32:58,100
Like our witness said--
sights, sounds,
659
00:32:58,267 --> 00:33:00,567
the way we feel--
that is all a part
660
00:33:00,734 --> 00:33:02,267
of the power of this forest.
661
00:33:02,434 --> 00:33:06,367
OK, let's try to move as quietly
as possible.
662
00:33:06,534 --> 00:33:08,167
Right.
663
00:33:08,334 --> 00:33:11,300
These trees...
looking bigger.
664
00:33:11,467 --> 00:33:12,801
You know what that means.
665
00:33:12,968 --> 00:33:14,467
We're getting to the older
part of the forest.
666
00:33:14,634 --> 00:33:15,901
That's right.
667
00:33:17,367 --> 00:33:20,000
- It's starting
to feel different.
- It is.
668
00:33:24,267 --> 00:33:26,100
Hey, wait a minute.
669
00:33:26,267 --> 00:33:27,968
Look at these trees.
670
00:33:29,067 --> 00:33:30,067
They're yew trees.
671
00:33:31,067 --> 00:33:33,868
- And look at this depression.
- Oh.
672
00:33:34,033 --> 00:33:35,501
I think this is
the Witches Bowl.
673
00:33:37,968 --> 00:33:40,601
This is a location where,
for who knows how long,
674
00:33:40,767 --> 00:33:44,067
there have been Pagan rituals.
- Powerful rituals.
675
00:33:47,267 --> 00:33:48,267
Hello?
676
00:33:55,767 --> 00:33:56,834
2
Did you hear that?
677
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:02,300
At least three, four different
types of animals
678
00:34:02,467 --> 00:34:05,100
calling out right now.
679
00:34:05,267 --> 00:34:07,267
The forest is speaking to us.
680
00:34:07,434 --> 00:34:09,467
What do you think
the forest is saying?
681
00:34:09,634 --> 00:34:11,267
I think all eyes
are on us.
682
00:34:11,434 --> 00:34:13,100
And it's our move.
683
00:34:13,267 --> 00:34:15,067
Do you have that coin
you found in the well?
684
00:34:15,234 --> 00:34:18,367
This coin isn't just old.
This is Robin Hood old.
685
00:34:18,534 --> 00:34:20,834
- Yes, put it in my bag.
- OK.
686
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,534
I want to
try something.
687
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,767
- There's the coin.
- OK.
688
00:34:26,934 --> 00:34:28,667
What's your plan?
689
00:34:28,834 --> 00:34:31,467
Well, we're channeling
the spirits in the time of
690
00:34:31,634 --> 00:34:33,934
the legend of Robin Hood,
so I'm going to use this coin
691
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:36,567
as a trigger object on
the pendulum board.
692
00:34:38,501 --> 00:34:40,767
- All right. Good to go.
- OK.
693
00:34:40,934 --> 00:34:43,567
I'll set an audio recorder
in case we get any EVPs.
694
00:34:45,267 --> 00:34:47,067
This is Heather and Phil.
695
00:34:47,234 --> 00:34:48,267
We're in the Witches Bowl.
696
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:51,501
We're about to do
a pendulum session.
697
00:35:04,934 --> 00:35:07,300
I'm gonna ask you some
yes-or-no questions.
698
00:35:07,467 --> 00:35:10,467
You can use your energy to move
the pendulum this way for yes,
699
00:35:13,868 --> 00:35:14,868
and this way for now.
700
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Is there anyone here with us?
701
00:35:28,834 --> 00:35:29,834
Yes.
702
00:35:31,567 --> 00:35:33,400
Do you recognize this coin?
703
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:37,767
That looks like, yes.
704
00:35:37,934 --> 00:35:39,167
Yes.
705
00:35:40,767 --> 00:35:43,767
Well, if you believe this
pendulum works, then that would
706
00:35:43,934 --> 00:35:46,734
put a date to whoever
we're talking to.
707
00:35:46,901 --> 00:35:49,167
Firmly in the time of
Robin Hood, right?
708
00:35:50,567 --> 00:35:51,567
Are you a bandit?
709
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
No... no.
710
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:01,267
Are you a part of this forest?
711
00:36:07,501 --> 00:36:09,167
Yes.
712
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:11,367
- Big yes.
- Yeah.
713
00:36:13,567 --> 00:36:16,767
I got the words, go out,
at Newstead Abbey
714
00:36:16,934 --> 00:36:19,200
and at the old Nottingham
Prison.
715
00:36:19,367 --> 00:36:20,501
Was that you?
716
00:36:24,501 --> 00:36:25,701
Yes.
717
00:36:28,167 --> 00:36:30,968
Was it ultimately to be
led here...
718
00:36:31,133 --> 00:36:32,467
to this very location?
719
00:36:36,567 --> 00:36:37,567
Yes.
720
00:36:39,367 --> 00:36:41,100
Why did you want us to
come here?
721
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,734
Did you witness evil
in this forest?
722
00:36:49,601 --> 00:36:51,167
Yes.
723
00:36:51,334 --> 00:36:53,934
Did you cause the evil
in this forest?
724
00:36:57,667 --> 00:36:58,667
No.
725
00:37:00,834 --> 00:37:02,100
Were you trying to protect
people from
726
00:37:02,267 --> 00:37:03,734
the evil that was
done here?
727
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,200
Yes.
728
00:37:08,267 --> 00:37:09,300
Did you want us to know that
729
00:37:09,467 --> 00:37:11,767
Sherwood Forest is
a safe place?
730
00:37:14,567 --> 00:37:15,567
Yes.
731
00:37:19,634 --> 00:37:20,501
Listen to those animals.
732
00:37:22,267 --> 00:37:23,567
Wow.
733
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:27,167
OK, that was right as you were
saying this forest is a place
734
00:37:27,334 --> 00:37:29,100
of safety.
- Yes.
735
00:37:29,267 --> 00:37:31,000
As we know,
when the stories go,
736
00:37:31,167 --> 00:37:34,834
Sherwood Forest was
the sanctuary.
737
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,767
It was where Robin Hood
could find safety
738
00:37:37,934 --> 00:37:39,501
from the Sheriff of Nottingham.
739
00:37:40,567 --> 00:37:43,167
So often when we're doing
these investigations,
740
00:37:43,334 --> 00:37:44,767
it feels like...
741
00:37:44,934 --> 00:37:47,868
there's something evil,
something trying to do us harm.
742
00:37:48,033 --> 00:37:50,000
I feel the exact opposite here.
743
00:37:50,167 --> 00:37:53,767
Each location
led us to here.
744
00:37:53,934 --> 00:37:57,067
All of that evidence, all of
that activity, all pointed us
745
00:37:57,234 --> 00:37:58,834
to Sherwood Forest.
746
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,067
It feels like something was
trying to bring us to safety.
747
00:38:02,234 --> 00:38:03,267
Mm.
748
00:38:03,434 --> 00:38:05,100
This is a place of peace.
749
00:38:06,767 --> 00:38:08,667
A place of peace.
750
00:38:08,834 --> 00:38:11,667
It's a heartening idea,
particularly after all
751
00:38:11,834 --> 00:38:14,367
the trauma and terror
that my team uncovered
752
00:38:14,534 --> 00:38:17,300
during their investigation into
the haunted history
753
00:38:17,467 --> 00:38:19,501
of Robin Hood.
754
00:38:19,667 --> 00:38:22,200
While we may never know for
certain whether Robin Hood
755
00:38:22,367 --> 00:38:26,300
himself truly existed,
we did find evidence of exactly
756
00:38:26,467 --> 00:38:28,868
what he might have robbed
from the rich.
757
00:38:29,033 --> 00:38:30,234
Wow!
758
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,000
Testing confirmed that
Phil's hunch was right.
759
00:38:33,167 --> 00:38:35,367
The coin he recovered from
the well under
760
00:38:35,534 --> 00:38:39,567
the Ye Olde Salutation Inn is
indeed a genuine silver
761
00:38:39,734 --> 00:38:40,968
shortcross penny--
762
00:38:41,868 --> 00:38:45,000
minted during the reign of
Richard the Lionheart between
763
00:38:45,167 --> 00:38:47,667
1189 and 1199,
764
00:38:47,834 --> 00:38:49,868
this really could have been
a coin that
765
00:38:50,033 --> 00:38:52,868
Robin was, well, robbin'.
766
00:38:53,033 --> 00:38:56,567
But my team didn't just find
ancient history.
767
00:38:56,734 --> 00:38:58,734
Were you sentenced right here?
768
00:38:58,901 --> 00:39:00,734
They also captured
potential evidence...
769
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:03,934
...of the paranormal.
770
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:06,734
While investigating
Nottingham's oldest prison,
771
00:39:06,901 --> 00:39:09,767
Heather left her XLS camera
running in the courtroom.
772
00:39:10,868 --> 00:39:15,567
And at exactly 11:43 PM,
it recorded this.
773
00:39:17,868 --> 00:39:20,167
Stranger still,
the figure appeared at
774
00:39:20,334 --> 00:39:22,567
the very same moment
Heather's Tempest
775
00:39:22,734 --> 00:39:24,200
produced the word "scratch."
776
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:28,734
Scratch?
You're [bleep] kidding.
777
00:39:28,901 --> 00:39:30,167
Look at that.
778
00:39:31,667 --> 00:39:34,734
Which was also when Phil
heard scratching sounds...
779
00:39:37,467 --> 00:39:40,267
- ...in the dark cell.
- That was wild.
780
00:39:40,434 --> 00:39:44,267
Could all of this have been
a message, or maybe a threat,
781
00:39:44,434 --> 00:39:47,968
from the infamous ghost of
murderer Thomas Gray?
782
00:39:49,968 --> 00:39:52,067
But not everything
in the investigation
783
00:39:52,234 --> 00:39:56,067
remained unexplained.
After detailed audio analysis...
784
00:39:58,267 --> 00:39:59,501
Did you hear that?
785
00:39:59,667 --> 00:40:02,601
...the mysterious voice Phil
heard in the Devil's Wood
786
00:40:02,767 --> 00:40:06,400
outside Newstead Abbey appeared
to simply be the wind.
787
00:40:08,601 --> 00:40:11,300
But Heather's recording from
the dark heart of
788
00:40:11,467 --> 00:40:14,067
Sherwood Forest,
the so-called Witches Bowl,
789
00:40:14,234 --> 00:40:16,667
was a very different story.
790
00:40:16,834 --> 00:40:20,167
Immediately after Heather asked
this question...
791
00:40:20,334 --> 00:40:22,367
Did you want us to know that
Sherwood Forest is
792
00:40:22,534 --> 00:40:23,733
a safe place?
793
00:40:23,734 --> 00:40:27,400
...her pendulum responded,
"Yes," and her recorder also
794
00:40:27,567 --> 00:40:30,000
captured this possible EVP.
795
00:40:32,167 --> 00:40:35,167
She believes the word sanctuary
can be heard.
796
00:40:37,567 --> 00:40:41,267
Heather wonders if guardian
spirits in Sherwood Forest were
797
00:40:41,434 --> 00:40:44,567
somehow trying to protect them,
in the same way they may have
798
00:40:44,734 --> 00:40:48,767
done for Robin Hood and his
merry men some 800 years ago.
799
00:40:50,167 --> 00:40:53,601
And speaking of Robin,
before my two outlaws left
800
00:40:53,767 --> 00:40:58,467
Sherwood for good, they got up
to one last bit of banditry.
801
00:40:58,634 --> 00:41:00,501
This time you're
going down, Torres.
802
00:41:00,667 --> 00:41:03,667
No chance-- 'cause this time,
I got my bycocket on.
803
00:41:03,834 --> 00:41:05,300
- Gosh!
- Bring it on!
804
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,667
Last arrow, Heather.
Make it count.
805
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:20,868
- Did you just get a bullseye?
- Something about
this forest.
806
00:41:21,033 --> 00:41:23,200
We have a winner.
Maid Amaro.
807
00:41:25,667 --> 00:41:27,167
Robin Hood himself
declared me winner.
808
00:41:27,334 --> 00:41:29,501
- I think that was just a guy.
- I'm going with Robin Hood.
809
00:41:29,667 --> 00:41:30,868
Fine.
