Another 2 Hours of True Crime! - From the Murder of Bridget Cleary to the Deadly Dr Cream

[@WellINever]

Thank you all for watching! If you've any cases or stories you'd like us to cover in a future episode, let me know !

[@addie_is_me]

What about everyday science, or medicine, historically, VS what we use nowadays. Like before and after, germs, we're figured out, or how surgery evolved.

[@quickchris10]

Thanks; you must be a professor in real life. The way you speak softly, then emit a seemingly random, ``THIS WAS NOT UNUSUAL'' would wake up anyone happening to be dozing due to too much partying the night before, as per college life. These were interesting stories; the one new to me was the ``Fire Devil Of Volkhoven'' one (have been a true-crime aficionado for several years and hard to find cases of which I've never heard.) That Siefert guy was very horrifying and am surprised I never heard of him. I do like to hear of crimes from other countries (am American.) One I've been longing for is the Yoghurt Shoppe murders from Austin, Texas, but it will likely remain unsolved. It happened in the '90's, I believe, and, last I checked, was never gonna be solved, as the killer or killers set a fire in the yoghurt shoppe after killing the workers at closing time, and there was zero evidence left, but you can follow it if you want, anyway. Thank you again, sir!

Thanx for this one and hi from sweden.

Perfect for those knitting evenings when I feel like listening to a wonderful voice telling me of awful crimes.

[@addie_is_me]

I’m a knitter too, how great is knitting, but I am listening while trying to learn to crochet (I don’t like it, but I’m trying to learn how anyway lol) After reading your comment I wish I had listened to this with a knitting bee. That would be fun.

[@amymatt6609]

I wish Paul could read me a bedtime story every night. I don't care if it's the phone book! Such a wonderful, soothing voice. Thanks, Paul!

[@jubi400]

I totally agree 👍

[@SakuraAsranArt]

What I do is take a long compilation video like this one and create a 'sleep' playlist. I put this video, or one like it, in the front of the queue followed by sleep aid videos or livestreams. I use heavy rain or thunderstorm videos but there's plenty of sleep video options available. White noise, ocean sounds, music, etc. I can attest to the effectiveness of making sleep playlists, I have suffered chronic insomnia since childhood and it has helped me a lot.❤

[@jamiethomas5184]

Agreed

[@the1only467]

Amazing how a particular voice, a certain accent can make anything sound intriguing. Thank you sir.

[@ian757]

Paul. That was a very eloquent and powerful speech about the miscarriage of justice of Edith Thompson and why it’s important to recognise that even 100 years later. Thank you for telling this story and for your thought-provoking comments.

[@dianawatton7570]

Dear Mr. Brodie, at the conclusion of every video you put up, you are always so kind to thank us for watching it. I’d like to say I thank YOU for entertaining us with your excellent storytelling. You Make what would be a boring day, since l am an elderly widow living alone, a delightful and entertaining way to start my day. Thank you! 👍

[@dianehouse4634]

[@jenhen1791]

I agree 100%. Such a kind way of complimenting Mr. Brodie. I'm sorry your days are long. Unfortunately many of us are spending too much time alone. God bless you.

[@commonsense571]

Paul, I’m one hour in and these are the most riveting and moving stories I’ve heard in a very long while. Being from America, I’d never heard of them so far but wow. This is incredible. Rain and flooding outside is a perfect backdrop today. ❤ from 🗽

Thank you sir🍀🌟

[@NanaBren]

Hello Paul, so happy for this video. I enjoy your videos immensely. I cringed at the first story, how terrible for the teachers and children. I suppose that there was few options for the mentally ill. So very sad for all. Poor Bridget, a victim of superstition and ignorance. My favorite videos are of past disasters in the UK and America. I appreciate you so much. Well researched and told with compassion and no sensationalism. ❤

[@mayday65100]

❤ captivatingly told. Thanks so much

[@Mariethechaotic]

13:26 wow I thought school shootings were the most heinous crimes; shooting flames at children??? They didn't even get a quick death; those children died in agonizing pain and the survivors I imagine lived with horrific physical pain and scars for the remainder of their lives.

[@JimmyS.25]

I watched a german TV documentary about it a few years ago. I was absolutely horrified. This must be among the worst crimes ever committed by a single person.

The voice but also the personality of someone who doesn't mind sharing stories This is time honored tradition inherently throughout all human spoken traditions and it's always throughout the generations manifesting at random Some oral tradition are handed down from father to son etc but u never know how the magic of story telling is going to pop up and transport u to a new place and time

Re Edith Thompson: My family used to build their library in the staff shop of Odhams Press - Watford many years ago as the male members worked there until 1980s. In my Great Grandparents bookcase there was a book printed possibly in the 1940s or 1950s that painted a less than positive picture of the case, how times change. Would love to lay me hands on the book just to refresh my memory as been about 30 years since I read it (books were estate cleared over 20 years ago).

I just came across ur channel yesterday and I'm hooked!!! I love how much care u put in to each case and all the research u do aswel. U are an amazing narrator plz don't stop with the videos

[@Cecilia-zb5rm]

A lot of people believe that horrorfing things have been happening in our day and age. I think it's been going on with people since the beginning

[@Immopimmo]

Exactly! There's been horrible violent crimes in all times, it's just that we're much more exposed to it nowadays thanks to media and the internet. While in the past, news of some crimes never even made it outside county or state lines, and there was more of a hush culture back then also, so a lot of things like domestic violence, sexual assault or child abuse went unreported.

[@fallonbea]

The judges were completely wrong in my opinion…John did not have a mind of a Ten year old but the mind of a killer! I wonder how these convictions were explained to the parents of their murdered children.

[@addie_is_me]

I agree, he but did what people do now blame anything else. Also the courts enabled him tremendously to take little responsibility. I don’t get it, but that how it strikes me.

[@TheGennen]

I completely disagree with "Not guilty due to insanity". Get them psychological help sure, but they still need to go to prison.

[@buschovski1]

they were definitly wrong. he was a killer like u said. simple as that. who happened to be mentally challenged. An awful awful man.

Paul, ya might like another Irish crime, early 1800s in the big beside my town, the story is always referred to as "The Wild Goose Lodge". It makes Wuthering Heights look like a fun time by comparison.

[@villavillain]

That was quite a story!

[@audreymuzingo933]

I so love the photos of Edith, Freddie and Percy together, at 47:12 and 48:10 and 55:47 and especially 48:59. They remind me of Impressionist paintings, not the style itself (obviously there's no color for instance), but the subjects, how they're captured candidly and casually, in situ, as opposed to carefully posing like most people still did for photographs. The expense and pain-in-the-a__ of photography were both still fairly big factors in the early 1920's, so it's kind of remarkable that someone(?) was snapping images of this trio just doing 'whatever'. Also how none of the photos have all three of them looking at the camera, but the one(s) who do .... they look at you and challenge you to figure out what the heck's going on here. Not only is that oh-so-Impressionist, it adds to the question of why these three people were photographed closely together so many times, as if a unit, when normally this would only happen if the three were related, or maybe a trio of same-sex close friends. A woman and two men situated close enough together they could fit in a lens frame .... that's a bit odd even once, never mind 4 times. And look at the strange one at 55:47. It's so light-washed it almost looks like a painting, and it appears the photographer did some touchups by hand (like the designs in Edith's skirt). But my goodness, look how Freddie is resting his head on her hip, lovingly held there by her hand ... while space completely separates her husband from her. You have to ask, did this not bother him? In the beautiful 48:59 image, he sits between them with his arms crossed and a stern look on his face. Was this one taken later, after he'd become suspicious? I wish I knew.

[@steveperreira5850]

I’ve been to England 40 times and was married to an English girl for a little while. Based on what I saw there, Edith was a better than average English wife …. And if it weren’t for abortion, that island would be overwhelmed with bastards.

Thank you for the vid. I like your narrative style w/ no personal comments or quips inserted, very factual and well researched. Do family annihilators, more deadly doctors and scary siblings. You could also do assisinations of European leaders. The only one I know of is Lord Louis Mountbatten and don't even know if anyone was charged for that.

[@CharliCharboneau]

In regards to the Cologne School Massacre, it is interesting to note that back then that the majority, if not all, doctors were male. The same can be said for the military. Yet in his anger he directed his violence on women and children. I don't exactly what that says about society or him but it says something.
