WEBVTT - S01 Episode 7: Ghosts in Time 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.000 For all the many elements that constitute the paranormal, there 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.520 are a few things quite as evocative as the ghost, 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.040 equally capable of scaring as senseless as they are of 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.560 inflicting us with the deepest of melancholies, the ghost holds 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:29.920 a unique place in the world of the supernatural. There are, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.199 of course, the ghosts that we carry with us in 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.640 our daily lives, memories of those we have loved and lost, 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.600 or perhaps even wronged, thoughts that sit in the deepest 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:45.199 part of the psyche, straining to become manifest. Perhaps the 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.520 most famous of all ghosts is that of Shakespeare's Banquet. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.800 As he appears to the tormented mind of Macbeth. We 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.760 know him not as an actual spirit, but rather he 0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:01.480 is the consequence of Macbeth's mental capitulation. But what of 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.000 the apparitions that seem not to have been brought forth 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.360 from the psyche, Those that have no connection to the observer, 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.600 but instead seem, for all the world to be reaching 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:17.559 out to us from a seemingly timeless space. You're listening 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:33.080 to unexplained, and I'm rich McClain smith. For some to 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.200 witness a ghost, particularly that of a relative, might bring 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.640 a certain comfort, the reassuring sense of a life beyond death. 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.680 But for the cultures of the ancient world, there was 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.600 little doubting the portentous nature of such a sighting. If 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.240 by chance, you ever find yourself walking along the banks 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.200 of the Tigris around the year four thousand BC, and 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.760 happened to come across the spirit of a recently deceased 0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.880 family member, it could surely mean only one thing. For 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.440 the Sumerians, death was an act from which there was 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.640 no return. Rather, souls were left to dwell in a 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.440 place called Kur, otherwise known as the Land of no Return, 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.320 a place where all men and women were equal, no 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.760 matter how rich or poor, and there they would remain 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.040 in a dreary darkness, all watched over by Irish Kigal, 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.400 the dark queen of the underworld. For a relative to 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.440 return from such a place would speak of something unsettled, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.160 perhaps a body not properly buried, lost at sea or 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.000 abandoned on the battlefield, or even a suspicious death that 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:41.240 needed in some way to be rectified. Often a ghost 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.320 or apparition will be said to be linked to a 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.760 particular place. For those of us in the UK, there 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.880 are many not least their respective tourist boards that would 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.880 suggest the Great Tower of London or Edinburgh Castle as 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.960 the country's most haunted destinations. However, thanks largely to the 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.240 controversial and self styled psychic investigator Harry Price, there is 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.600 one place that has risen above all others in the 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.480 history of the British ghost hunt. The full story of 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.120 the place in question has drawn much criticism over the 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.760 years due to the association with Price, and so it 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.720 is to a time before Price's involvement that we will 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.920 be going, and for that we will be heading to. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:29.440 Nineteen twenty eight the place Balley Rectory in Essex, routinely 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.360 described as the most haunted house in England. Just what 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.800 exactly took place there in the early part of the 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.640 twentieth century has never been fully accounted for. It is 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:53.400 a mystery that remains to this day unexplained. The Essex 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.080 hamlet of Barley lies close to the border of Suffolk 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.280 in the southeast of England. Aside from the rectory, it 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.800 is perhaps best known for its church. Originally built in 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.640 the twelfth century. It houses within it the tomb of 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.160 Sir Edward waldergrave supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots and 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.680 one of the many victims of the Great Tower of London. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.880 After upsetting Elizabeth, the first Sir Edward was banished to 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.600 the Tower in fifteen fifty eight, where he would die 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:26.320 three years later. The Rectory was built in eighteen sixty 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.160 three by the Reverend Henry Dawson Ellis, who lived there 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.200 with his wife and twelve children. Looking at old photographs 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.880 of the house, it is no exaggeration to describe it 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:41.000 as a place of intense atmosphere. Designed in a Neo 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.839 Gothic style, it was described as being built from red 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.880 brick and stone. The doors thick and heavy, with some 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.760 of the windows iron barred, giving parts of the house 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.120 a rather prison like appearance, and despite the relative vastness 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.720 of the grounds, the house was almost entirely surrounded by trees, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.520 shrouding most of the property in an ever present shadow. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.200 With Henry having passed away in eighteen ninety two and 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.320 then later his son Harry in nineteen twenty two, the 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.560 house was effectively abandoned and left to fall into disrepair. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.960 Over time, the gloomy red brick Rectory succumbed inevitably to 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.800 the ravages of nature. The garden was left to grow wild, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.400 all but reclaiming the house as its own. The pipes 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.159 rusted as rats took up residency in the walls and 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.280 under the floorboards, and as the frequent rains lashed down 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.360 during one of the harshest of winters, the roof had 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:40.400 finally given way. Without regular use, the only water supply, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.039 provided by a well, began to rot and grew stagnant, 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.320 and so the property remained until the summer of nineteen 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:59.120 twenty eight. After spending a number of years working as 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.240 a missionary in India, the Reverend guy Eric Smith and 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.160 his wife Mabel had decided to return to their homeland. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.120 So when the opportunity came up to take on the 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.400 rectory at Bawley, it seemed almost too good to be true. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.240 After all, the quiet ideal of a small English country 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.680 village was exactly what they had been yearning for. On 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.719 arriving at the property, the Smiths met with an immediate 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.920 sense of foreboding. It would seem they had been quite 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:30.600 unprepared for the extent of the disrepair. The surrounding trees 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.960 all but blocked out the sun entirely, and with the 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.440 condition of the roof and the dilapidated heating system. Only 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:41.160 a handful of the twenty three rooms were actually habitable. Undeterred, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.320 the plucky couple moved in and set about transforming their 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.520 new home. What followed next, as later described by the Smiths, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.760 would amount to nothing less than the darkest years of 0:06:51.800 --> 0:07:00.760 their life. Are you always taking care of your family? 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.440 Do you often take care of others and not yourself? 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.719 Now it's time to take care of yourself.

It began with footsteps, 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.000 a strange shuffling sound that seemed to drag itself about 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.800 the house, followed by strange studs and knocks. When the 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.560 Smiths attempted to move away into the other rooms, the 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.400 footsteps merely followed them. However, there was always one room, 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.800 known as the Blue Room, that seemed to generate the 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.840 most noise. Although a man of faith, the Reverend was 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.960 not about to succumb to the notion of ghosts in 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.800 his house. Convinced the footsteps must belong to an unwelcome 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.840 but very human visitor, the Reverend stayed up all night 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.960 with a hockey stick in an attempt to catch the 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.760 unwanted guest. Sure Enough, after waiting a few hours, the 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.320 sound of the footsteps could be heard out in the hallway, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.760 getting closer before stopping outside his room. Much to his horror, 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.240 the steps then proceeded into the room, despite not having 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.840 a body to go with them. As the footsteps neared, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.040 Reverend Smith swung the hockey stick wildly, but found only 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:14.200 the emptiness of thin air, as was common for many 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.040 buildings of such size, All twenty three rooms had been 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.319 rigged up to a bell system that linked back to 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.000 the servant quarters. Not long after the couple moved in, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.760 the bells could be heard ringing throughout the house at 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.360 all hours of the night and day, the phenomena being 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.760 all the more extraordinary since not only were Guy and 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.920 Mabel Smith the only occupiers in the twenty three roomed house, 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.120 but most of the bell system had long since disintegrated. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.080 One afternoon, Missus Smith decided to investigate the house's many 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.640 hidden nooks and crannies. On entering the library, she became 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.800 intrigued by a vast Victorian bookcase that stretched from one 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.319 wall to the other, with the bottom half separated into cupboards. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:10:00.400 Examining the cupboards, Mabel came across a small round package. Slowly, 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.320 she started to unwrap the paper and was horrified to 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:08.400 find inside the skull of a young woman. Hoping that 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.120 in some way the skull had been linked to the disturbances, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.559 the reverend had the skull buried in a nearby graveyard, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.120 but was later forced to dig it up when the 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:23.280 strange incidences seemed only to intensify afterwards. Shortly after, the 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.880 couple began to notice that a light could often be 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.280 seen emanating from a far off room in the house 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.400 that was known to be empty and perhaps most unnerving 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.520 of all, one summer afternoon, where mister Smith was walking 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.080 through the house, he began to hear strange sounds, as 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.480 if someone was whispering over his head. He described the 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.720 noise as soft and sibilant, but spoken with urgency and 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.600 ending in muttering sounds. There was no doubting to the 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.960 reverend that it was the voice of a woman, But 0:10:53.120 --> 0:11:04.800 even more was to come. Unable to look after the 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.880 rectory alone, the couple employed a young maid from London 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.160 to help out in the house. The maid had only 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.880 been working two days when she spotted something odd in 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.040 the garden. It was a young woman who appeared to 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.600 be dressed like a nun, walking across the bottom of 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.680 the grounds. When her calls to the woman were ignored, 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.560 the maid approached the figure but was horrified to see 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.320 it melt away into the trees right before her eyes. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.079 The following day, she handed in her notice and promptly 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:37.120 returned to London. By now it was clear to guiand 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.040 Mabel that something was clearly a miss. It was only 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.000 then that they learned the full truth about Balley Rectory. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.600 Not only had the previous occupiers frequently spoken of strange 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.400 sightings and sounds heard about the house, but that as 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.360 many as twelve clergyman had turned down the opportunity to 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.960 take on the rectory prior to mister and missus Smith, 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.840 all of them too afraid to live in the famous 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.840 haunted house. And as for the Blue Room, which appeared 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.040 to be the source for most of the strange noises, 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.680 that was the place in which both previous owners had died. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.800 At their wits end. The couple famously called in the 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.280 help of the Daily Mirror newspaper as well as the 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.559 Society for Psychical Research, and it is at this point 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.240 that Harry Price enters the scene. What happened next has 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.600 been the topic of intense speculation and often ridicule, as 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.359 many sought to profit from the unfortunate couple's extraordinary experiences. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.679 For subsequent publicity only intensified the stress upon Mabel and George, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.000 and the couple vacated the property in nineteen twenty nine, 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.959 moving to the relative serenity of the seaside town of 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.160 Cromer in Norfolk. And as for the house itself, it 0:12:48.240 --> 0:13:01.880 was destroyed by fire under suspicious circumstances in nineteen thirty nine. 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.160 For a spooky and quietly menacing look at the subsequent 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.720 events involving the controversial Harry Price, I can recommend The 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.480 Ghost Hunters by Neil Spring to while away a few 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:16.040 sleepless nights. But for me it is the accounts of 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.320 the plainly innocent and reputable mister and Missus Smith, taken 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.240 before all the noise that followed, that is the most fascinating. Clearly, 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.760 they had no desire to profit from their ordeal, and 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.320 nor did they so what then exactly did they hear? 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.120 And in the case of the unfortunate maid from London 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:41.280 see On one dark December night in two thousand and two, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.360 a phone call was placed to a police station in Surrey, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.400 in the south of England. It was an anxious member 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.120 of the public calling to report a horrific car crash 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.160 that they had witnessed that night. Whilst traveling southbound along 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.679 the A three towards the town of Guildford. They had 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.600 seen a car lose control at high speed before spinning 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.840 violent off the road. Moments later, more calls were taken 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.920 from many different witnesses reporting the exact same thing. A 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.160 number of police were immediately dispatched and promptly arrived at 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.600 the scene. Only they couldn't find any trace of the incident. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.600 That was until one officer, who had been searching the 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.520 nearby undergrowth, stumbled upon a smashed up maroon Vauxhall Astra, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:28.240 nose down in a ditch, but something was off. Shining 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.440 his torch into the driver's side of the car, the 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.480 officer received a terrible Fright there, sat in his seat 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.120 was the driver of the vehicle, reduced to the bare 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.960 bones of his skeleton. The car had indeed spun off 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.640 the road, as reported, but it certainly hadn't happened that night. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.760 In fact, the police later discovered that the driver of 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.960 the vehicle had been declared missing almost six months before. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.200 Is it possible that, rather than seeing the actual moment 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.400 of the accident, the witnesses had in fact seemed kind 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.200 of echo of the event, or maybe something even stranger. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.400 When we think of time, we tend to picture a 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.960 clock or a set of numbers with which to reference 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.240 our day. We may say that time is the aging 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.480 of things, or talk about the passing of time. We 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.720 see it in the revolutions of the earth or the 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.320 rising and setting of the sun. And yet this isn't 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.560 time in any meaningful sense, but rather how we frame 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:38.920 it in the absence of the actual thing itself. In 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.040 the mid nineteen sixties, John Wheeler and Bryce de Witt, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.920 two physicists from Princeton and the University of North Carolina, 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.400 came up with an extraordinary idea. Together, they had devised 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.320 no less than a possible framework to marry the seeming 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.440 incompatibility of Einstein's theories of relativity and the mechanations of 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.160 the quantum world. Now known as the Wheeler DeWitt equation, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:07.120 its implications are staggering. What Wheeler and de Witt potentially 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.520 discovered was that the only way to make the two 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:13.040 worlds compatible was to do away completely with the notion 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:17.280 of time, that the fundamental description of the universe was 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:21.640 in fact timeless. If such a thing were to be true, 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.600 you might rightly assume that the past, present, and future 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.680 is nothing but an illusion. That the only thing that 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.920 is real is the whole of it, existing constantly. As 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:38.440 one might, it be possible that the ghosts of Ballyrectory, 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.760 and perhaps all ghosts for that matter, rather than being 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.640 the spirits of the dead, are in fact the bodies 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:50.680 of the very much alive, existing alongsiders in another time. Perhaps, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.480 if we were so blessed, we might imagine ourselves like 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:58.800 Kurt Vonnegut's fictional characters, the Trialphamadurians, creatures who have evolved 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.080 to be able to see it's only the present, but 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.280 the entirety of everything that has been and will ever be. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.800 In a quote tentatively attributed to the Australian author Christina Stead, 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.280 it is said that every love story is a ghost story. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.359 But might it be more correct to say that every 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.240 story is a ghost story? That every tale we tell 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:27.040 is something that has once passed, yet somehow remains. And 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.720 isn't all of life really just a story that we 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.639 tell each other, whether it be shared by memory or 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.400 through the very genetic imprint of our blood. And when 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.160 or if all stories were to finally disappear, we might 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:46.200 hope that somewhere still a ghostly imprint will remain. But 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.960 if indeed there is no such thing as time, and 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.199 nothing ever truly dies, then really there would be no 0:17:52.280 --> 0:18:03.200 ghosts only us existing together Forever.
