ASMR - History of Vampires

Soft-spoken male ASMR about the myth of vampires.
Listen to this story on music streaming sites: asmrdb.fanlink.to/history-of-...
"History of Vampires" won the last survey you were invited to participate in, so here it is! French and Spanish versions will follow. In this video, I tell you about the literary vampires like Dracula or Carmilla, historical characters like Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory, the various aspects of related myths since Antiquity (Lilith, Lamia, the Stryges…), and how superstition, tradition, folklore and entertainment contributed to the creation of the modern vampire figure. Get ready for a long travel, from Babylon to Hollywood, via Rome, Romania, Hungary and Britain.

[@yjk5737]

10/10 on presentation. I like the garlic.

[@gracefisher663]

There’s a very interesting story about a girl named Mercy Brown. The case of Mercy Brown took place in Rhode Island in 1892, a time in which tuberculosis ran rampant and destroyed entire communities. This is the best documented case of corpse exhumation in regards to the New England vampire panic during that time. I’d recommend reading more about it as it’s very interesting

[@bamafan5385]

Very interesting. I’m going check it out. Thank you.

[@Billy_3]

Oh my god. They burned her corpse, mixed her ashes into water, and gave it to her brother to cure tuberculosis. Spoiler alert, he died two months later.

[@wanderingbelleasmr1054]

Super interesting! Leah Whispers does a great video on that case:)

[@Jayderica]

I’ve always found the French accent while speaking English (wish I could understand French) so relaxing. I would have fallen asleep in French class but my teacher lived in Liverpool so his French/Scouse accent wasn’t quite the same as yours 😂 Love your videos and the way you make them knowledgeable :-) thanks.

[@spg585]

So immensely glad you’re back! You’ve been sorely missed.

[@peeweepixie3655]

After a long and stressful day, I think I’ll run myself a bubble bath, pour a glass of wine, and watch this!

You always upload after I’ve had the worst day ! And you make it better. Thank you ❤️

[@cnacma]

This is such a good topic. It’s so interesting. I’ve had an obsession with vampires since I was little. I watched “interview with a vampire” so many times I wore out the tape in the VHS (for people under thirty it’s how people used to watch movies 😊😊). Fantastic video. So glad you’re back.

Your velvety deep voice always makes my brain melt

[@expertsmileee]

See, for me, I love his voice...but there’s always been something about his asmr that doesn’t help me sleep at all, and I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s that there’s no sound OTHER than his voice, if there were some kind of background noise that might help...rain and thunder maybe?

[@sarasmr4278]

I want to stay awake to hear what he's saying. But I can be awake and melty.

[@sci8911]

@@expertsmileee open another tab and play a rain/thunder track at the same time

[@nanwilder2853]

@@expertsmileee: When I stumbled upon the French Whisperer’s videos (a week or so ago), I could not have been more skeptical. Firstly, I prefer the female voice for ASMR; though I’ve certainly tried male voices during my ongoing search for competent, effective ASMR. (There is a LOT of gimmicky crap on this platform, calling itself ASMR). I’ve listened to 6 or 7 of F.W.’s videos now, and to my genuine surprise, have fallen asleep-in short order-each time. So apparently, what he’s doing works for me-in spite of my skepticism. My advice, if you’re open to it, E.S., is to not worry if someone’s ASMR doesn’t work for you! MOST of what I’ve come across the past two years has annoyed and/or offended-not relaxed-yours truly. (There is way too much inappropriate/disturbing sexual innuendo going on, for example)...Nor do I respond to the many claims of “tingles” and “triggers”, and generally detest the “role play” approach. The simplest, least showy, WHISPERED videos tend to work best for me; and a big trend has been toward healing techniques like Reiki, as well as traditional gongs and Singing Bowls. You just have to keep slogging through, to find what works for your Brain/Nervous System. I used to seek out the sounds of crumpling, crackling paper, along with a whispering voice. I also have a “White Noise Machine” on which the “Ocean” setting can help me sleep. I’m sorry if this is too long, but I hope something here helps! Good luck finding what works for YOU.

[@MaredElin]

I know you’ve been back for a few weeks now, but I just wanna let you know how happy I am to learn new things from you! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your uploads. ✨

Your presentation is gorgeous, as always-and such an interesting topic! Thank you for bringing it to us🌹🧛🏻‍♀️📖

[@MishaShivers]

I can't believe I've never heard of Carmilla before. I'm going to read this book immediately. O_O

[@MishaShivers]

*Update:* I read it! It's available for free over at Project Gutenberg: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10007 Depending on how tolerant you are of Victorian-era fiction and how predictable it can be, it's a pretty pleasant read! The homoerotic themes are actually much less subtle than I anticipated. The interactions between the protagonist and antagonist even get a touch steamy on occasion. An excerpt: " 'I am sure, Carmilla, you have been in love; that there is, at this moment, an affair of the heart going on.' 'I have been in love with no one, and never shall,' she whispered, 'unless it should be with you.' How beautiful she looked in the moonlight! Shy and strange was the look with which she quickly hid her face in my neck and hair, with tumultuous sighs, that seemed almost to sob, and pressed in mine a hand that trembled. " There is a fair bit of time spent with the protagonist finding herself both repelled and drawn in by her friend's overtures. It's all very tame by modern standards, but I expect it was rather thrilling for some audiences to read about such brazen behavior that really dances around the line of what could conceivably simply be considered innocent affection between two girls. The horror imagery in the book is quite vivid as well, including one scene that felt like it was taken straight out of The Ring. Again, it might not do much for a desensitized modern reader, but still very pleasantly spooky. On a personal level, I felt that the combination of horror and unconventional romance ticked quite a few boxes of my interests and made for quite a pleasurable reading experience. This concludes my book report, I hope you have a nice day.

[@Somnogenesis]

It doesn't get said enough, I don't think, but I really must observe that the tableaux (to appropriately use one of the English language's French loanwords!) you present us with in these videos get better and better TFW. Your hands moving laconically over your black table here with the books, mask, garlic, roses etc. is a magnificent visual.

[@jbsnyder1736]

I have almost no interest in vampires but I'll watch anyway because The French Whisperer is the best!

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

exactly what I said

[@cecilyerker]

It’s a really wonderful and rich topic that connects to so many issues like European history, the spread of plagues and disease, religion and superstition, the first modern literature of the 20th century, queer sexuality, and of course the many stage and film adaptations of vampire novels.

[@OctoesMP4]
