Dead Cold

Happy god damn Friday folks! I wanted to change the thumbnail for the new video, I just thought the original one was too busy, not straight to the point and I wasn't hooked on it, plus...I wanted to be Piers Shonks if I'm honest 🤣

Who the hell is Piers Shonks you may ask...watch my new video and find out. Link below.

Thank you so much for all the fantastic comments so far, it's great to be back making new content, I'll feel quite refreshed with it all.

More videos on the way, they won't come out regularly though, as I've mentioned before I just can't do that anymore, but please free share the new one around, it really helps the channel.

Keep your peepers peeled though as there could be a little teaser for what's coming next.

Thanks so much again folks for your support 🙌

Good evening folks...wanted to give you a heads up as to the format of the new video as most of my "on location" folklore vids will follow a similar pattern.

Btw...before you read on please take a look at the splendid medieval church of St Mary's that will feature in the new video ❤️

For me...these videos I'll make won't be purely about the story, they'll be about the location and some of its history and if possible, to explore the buildings themselves that are part of the story.

So in this new video you will get, the folklore tale, a few different locations connected to it, history, facts and even a few laughs (at my own expense of course)

If I can't get to a location (the next video after this will be just that) then I'll make the video at home...these ones will more than likely be shorter, probably around the 15 to 20 minute area, I intend to make all the upcoming videos no longer than 30 unless it's really necessary.

Thanks for reading and thanks again for watching, cya soon 👋

How goes it folks...just want to rave on about this splendidly good weekend event coming up within the next two weeks.

ParaMeet 2025 takes place over the May Bank Holiday weekend at Sketchley Grange in Hinckley, Leicestershire on the 24th and 25th with plenty of fantastic folks putting on great talks, selling all manor of paranormal related goods and an awards ceremony on the Saturday night.

It's always a very friendly environment with loads of great spooky folks. I of course will be there for both days with some great chums (probably around the bar area) so come say hello, it's always nice to chat.

If you're interested you'll find all the details in the link below and will see you there. 👋

‼️WARNING‼️You may need to be sitting down for this news!!

There's a rumour afoot that I have a new video coming out on Wednesday at 9pm GMT...well let me assure you... ITS VERY TRUE!!

This video signals new beginnings and direction for me and the channel and one I'm going to continue with. Why? You may ask... because I'm enjoying it.

This has taken me a good while to put together as I've been learning new editing software along the way.

If you enjoyed my Lambton Worm video, this is along the same lines as that. I went on location to see the area for myself to try a piece together this centuries old folklore tale.

So join me Wednesday night for the premiere of something new on Dead Cold Tales. Click the link below and click the "Notify Me" button and your all set.

Cya then folks.

Hey folks, come and join me for an epic rambling story as I try to retrace the folklore tale of the legendary Piers Shonks...Cheater of the Devil and Dragons...

Three years ago to date was my second visit to the stunning and splendidly eerie Georgian mansion house of Nannau Hall. It was the only abandoned location I ever did and ever wanted to do on account of its REAL history and stories and was one of the very few places I've been to over the years where I personally felt if ghosts were actually real, I'd get that experience.

I never did unfortunately but what an absolute honour it was to walk its old corridors and cellar where many others have been centuries before. It may not have been the ghost experience I wanted but the atmosphere in the place was just incredible.

I hear that the hall has now been boarded up because of people going in and wrecking it and the beautiful twisted staircase that ascends three floors has become very unstable due to the lead being stolen years ago from the roof allowing rain in. Sad times for such a beautiful and historical building.

Hey folks, just to help with the changes in content on my channel going forward, I've put a little playlist together of all the folklore, history and creepy stories I've made over the years. The list is only small, and most are stories that you may not have listened to as they live on the podcast tab of my YouTube channel.

The list will of course grow and will officially start with a brand new folklore video coming soon that I'm currently editing using new editing software so please bare with, as normal service will resume soon.

Many thanks for your patience folks.

Mark.

Hiya folks...I want to bring this to your attention. My good friends from PARA-LETIC ACTIVITIES have a new video out. John and Neil go through some of the hilariously funny stories they've put together over the years.

This anniversary video marks the 4th year of them making this fantastic podcast together with Luke. I've known these fine and funny gents for nearly 5 years now and for me they are the salt of the black country earth they come from.

The fishing story is definitely one of my favourites, I had tears in my eyes again 😂🤣

Lads it's a damn pleasure to know you and call you friends but I need to suggest something...is there a chance you could get Nigel back in with you all for a one off special at the Boodog Tavern. The four of you together again would be splendidly rib tickling.

Click the link below folks for a good belly laugh this Easter weekend and please consider subbing to them, clicking the thumbs up and leave them a comment.
