why is it titled "HAUNTED" i didnt see anything?

[isleofwightinsider]

@clarksta The Isle of Wight is sometimes referred to as the haunted Island due to all the ghost stories, or it could just be bullshit to attract the holidaymakers.

hi,i went onto isle of wight county press and found an article about harcourt sands and it said that they have spent £10,000 on market research.

It was written about 11 days ago.

Oh yeah, I just found the article on the IWCP website...we will have to keep an eye on that then wont we?

How long as that place been closed down for looked so nice. Also like how you put the footage together.

@MrRhysadams your reply sounds a bit dumb to refer ghost back to ww1 ww2 and tb

anyway way original reply was about the title of the video due to it being just a walk around

of the derelict site

[MrRhysadams]

@clarksta isle of wight is the most haunted place in the world because in ww1 and ww2 t it is where they sent all people that needed med attention and where all the people with tb where sent and most of them died the most haunted place on the island is the botanical islands

Looks like Chernobyl, but not as bad obviously, same as everyone else I also went there alot when I was a kid. When it was owned by Haven (fair few years ago)

Jeez, what is going on? This is so depressing it makes me want to slit my wrists!!

Nicely made video, I've been really intrigued lately in how many holiday parks etc in the UK are now abandoned. Seems to have been quite a few during the last few years in the recession etc. Hemsby Pontins looks spooky, Newport Towers Hotel in Gloucestershire, Buckmore Park in Chatham and this place... Not sure how long they'll be left abandoned for as plans to do them up seem to always get abandoned due to finances/restrictions etc.

[isleofwightinsider]

@NintendoConsumer Oh, right, sorry about that, my mistake. What do you want me to do about it then? Take the video down?

Hang on a minute...perhaps only grown-ups can see them?

I go past this place everyday well most days, its such a waste just sitting there derelict, never spent a holiday there and it probably was a fun packed place to be, wish someone would do something with it, its in a good location, there's not much else leisure wise, apart from in ryde. It would bring back jobs to the island and boost up tourism, so come on isle of wight council do your bidding and stop wasting time on silly unnecessary cutbacks.

Is that all that remains after the fire?
