Oh, Rachel, this is outstanding! Once we got into the evp portion of the video, I realized that I was holding my breath, over and over, without meaning to, it was that good and that suspenseful!
With each successive video, you out do yourself. The quality, the research, the production, the evps, all just get better and better.
Bravissima!

Once again Rachael you have outdone yourself. Thoroughly enjoyed the EVPs and hearing your wonderful voice again.
Well done. Looking forward to the next one. ❤️❤️👻👻🇦🇺🦘

[Grace-tclq]

Oh wow! My spirits were lifted when I saw you had a video up, thank you! 👍👋❤️

[Its-Erica]

Outstanding work as usual. Thank you! 😊

[Bobbilhead]

Hi Rachel, really love your videos but I really enjoy the snip bit of history you provide at the start! I appreciate the time you invest in research!

[paypaymojo]

I was so excited to see a new video! And what a spectacular one. Brilliant, as always. Thank you!

[Sweetlyfe]

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.

Nice work as usual, Rachel! 🙂 I could catch some Romanian(my native language) at 15:44... said something about witchcraft... and at 18:22 a female voice asking " how do you know?"... quite mind blowing..

[Parianparlay]

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. 😘

How did I miss this?? What a fascinating trip! It's interesting how they speak in English.

[alexperriman]

Hope you had a lovely holiday, my friend. ❤

20:01;a Witch appears to have left her broomstick on the ledge!
At least we know where she got in!

[ianmorris]

20:59;Junior from Jamaica turned up here too!😳

[ianmorris]

22:30;Bye Rach, I enjoyed, hope you did

[dianetheisen]

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❓

[rose-anngoldhawk]

It seems that spirits can read your mind ! It also appears you have a name for yourself literally in the spirit realm Rachel Tudor ?

[ianmorris]

11:35;a heavy Russian or Polish accent there from that woman.

[DarkestStarASMR]

Intressting video showing the castle but those "EVPS".. No 1. What in ..do you think ghosts in a ROMANIAN castle speak English. Plus 2. They sound nothing like what you translate them as. I listened without looking and couldnt get any of them when i rewatched.
I too want to know if theres life beyond but evps like this are usually mostly interference or background sounds.

[ianmorris]

21:49;not any big enough for the British 'government'!
