Seafield is a former boys school located in the Ayrshire area of Scotland. Our footage was recorded in 2003 and the building has since been the victim of a large fire that destroyed much of the structure. We were able to access some areas of the building and get some interesting drone footage of the main building and the grounds. As well is being a school some sections gave the impression of being more industrial. There was what looked like a vehicle inspection pit within a garage area. There were also other smaller buildings within the woods that almost looked military in appearance. Possi ..read more

Duchal Castle – Kilmacolm

We have visited the remains of Duckal Castle in the past but it is always interesting to return to a location to see how it has changed. With a very old site like this, it can be very difficult to notice any real changes, especially when they have been in a ruinous state for centuries. The entire site is very overgrown and loaded with stinging nettles. it’s quite surreal to be within the remains of a courtyard-style castle yet also walking through an area of woodland. The most substantial ruins are towards the west of the site. The rest of the remains are fragmented across the surrounding a ..read more

To much fake paranormal content on YouTube

Over recent years there has be a huge influx of fake content within the paranormal niche. There have also been a lot of channels who were primarily involved in urban exploring that have switched over to the paranormal and are creating staged content simply for views. There are many great channels within the paranormal scene who do believe in the subject and are trying to be true paranormal investigators. It can be interesting to watch them as they try and carry out an honest investigation. I like the fact that they do not try and create a fake scene simply to try and prove the existence of ..read more

Military editing aerial images After WWII the UK RAF (Royal Air Force)  began a project of photographing much of the UK from the air. These photographs were mainly for use by the military, but would later be released to the general public. When viewing some of these aerial photographs it becomes clear that they have been altered. There are items that would have been classed as sensitive that have been omitted from the imagery.  It is important to note that when these edits were made it was nowhere as simple as it it today. Today we have software that can edit images and ..read more

Tools we use for video creation

As urban explorers we travel to locations of interest and create videos of them. Whilst each video is different, we use the same processes and techniques. Our camera Our main footage is shot on a Nikon D5500 DLSR camera. This camera does not support 4K filming and this is one area where we are planning to upgrade in the near future. We also use mobile phones for filming (Pixel 6a) and these do allow shooting in 4K but mobile phones do have their limitations and drawbacks. Mobile phones are designed to be as small as possible. This is fantastic for letting you get as many features i ..read more

Torpedo Test Range – Revisit

We recently made a return trip to the former torpedo test range on Loch Long. We were interested to see how it’s condition had changed since we last visited in Feb 2018. The ruins remain pretty much the same as they were during our previous visit. The jetty appears to have had some maintenance carried out and may be used as a landing port for small passenger craft entering Loch Long. The upturned bunker is still sitting precariously. We are not sure if this has become insecure and rolled off the raised ground or if this was rolled off its footprint during the demolition work at the site. It ..read more

Is it still worth uploading to Odysee?

Odysee is an alternative video platform similar to YouTube. It does not have as many users so you can’t expect your videos to get anywhere near the same number of views so it it worth it? We would say yes it is because you can set up your Odysee account to automatically grab your new videos from YouTube and sync them with your Odyssey channel. This means you only need to upload your videos to YouTube and they will automatically be uploaded to Odysee with no additional effort required. With a smaller user base on Odysee it’s fairly certain you will receive fewer views but with next to no effor ..read more

Every once in a while most YouTube creators will receive an email from the YouTube team telling them one of their videos has been restricted or removed. In many cases, the creator will know what has happened and will accept the email. If for example, your work includes copyright material that you are not licensed to use then you shouldn’t be using it. From time to time though, YouTube does get it wrong and their reasons for restricting or removing content are false. In these cases, you can appeal the decision and in most cases, you can expect to win. I couple of days ago I received one such em ..read more

We have recently upgraded our website. We have been able to retain all of our old content and blog posts. The new website will allow us to more easily manage our web presence. Up until this new point, we were running a custom-built content management system. It had become apparent over the past year or so that it was time to upgrade to something easier to use and manage. We have opted to go with WordPress as our content management system. We have also chosen to use two distinct types of content.
