I am from Inverness and we used to go to Boleskine for a dare when we in school. Some very weird stuff happened to me and my friends there, and my grandad is a painter who was given the job of painting and doing odd jobs there. He has also some very weird tales about working there, he was in the house by himself a lot and found secret rooms. Heard people talking in empty rooms, and found a secret passage going from the basement to somewhere underneath the graveyard. His tools were going missing regularly in an empty house! He is a serious person I totally believe him. Very weird place.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks for sharing that Daniel, yes, I did hear that there was a secret passage or tunnel from the house to the graveyard - I’m guessing that he found that.

I would never spend a night. My late husband was butler on an old estate. We lived in a house on the estate that was built in the 1700's. It was truly haunted. Terrifying actually. After we left, the next butler hung himself in the hallway one Christmas Eve. No, thank you. I did enjoy your broadcast and all your videos. You present them with class.

Oh my, I just looked up the location of Boleskine House and this gave me the creeps. Back in 2010 we were geocaching around Loch Ness. My husband pulled over at an old charming cemetery and told me to look for the cache myself, since the street was narrow and he had to park close to the cemetery wall and couldn't open his door. So I went looking on my own ... luckily I found the cache within a few minutes, but I ran back to the car as fast as I could, it felt so creepy there, like a black veil covering the day and I had difficulties breathing. I hadn't read the cache description, so I had no clue what happened in the area. And this graveyard is located just across the road from Boleskine House. I'm never visiting that graveyard again.

@christopherfritz3840 yes, this is quite normal, or at least it was normal in olden times. The English honoured the young men who died fighting, what they thought was for their country, but was in fact, elite power games. Nowadays, a certain political bacteria has infected young people to believe that they should dishonour these war memorials.

[@bentaylor2519]

Great video! I have always been fascinated about Crowley's "friendship" with Jack Parsons, who then opened Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) in Pasedena CA with Crowleys direction. Then none other than L Ron Hubbard comes into the picture and becomes friends with Jack. Together they perform magic and end up creating JPL (Jet Propulsion Labs) which is where Jack supposedly received the direction on how to create the rocket fuel.

[@rbilleaud]

Somewhat more complicated than that. I'm afraid Parsons' rocket fuel had nothing to do with magic. He was rather intelligent, but also quite careless as demonstrated by the many accidents he was involved in, including the one that ultimately claimed his life. But yes, he was a very interesting character.

[@johnmudd6453]

Frank whittle invented the jet engine ,how did he power it if there was no jet fuel ?

[@acrodave9287]

Crowley himself referred to Hubbard as "A terrible lout"! If somebody with Crowleys propensities calls somebody else a lout, that's probably telling you something about that persons character. Or maybe it was professional jealousy on Crowleys part..?

I think Crowley was sick, warped, and depraved, and that it's a waste of money to spend countless thousands of pounds on restoring a house where truly evil things went on.

Crowley summons many evil beings. And failed to banish them back underground when he sold the house. There things in the house. You hit the nail on the head. Oddie, you put a lot of hard work in this story. So many portraits of the different owners, the house inside and outside and many other pictures. Thanks for this fantastic story.

All and all, I thought you gave us a well-balanced view of Crowley. Oh, when it comes to Loch Ness, I've heard that story that he's responsible for the Loch Ness Monster. According to the story, he unwittingly raised up a water spirit from another dimension and banished it to the loch. And if I had the place, I'd be tempted to actually live here or at least for the night.

People do crazy things. They summon demons in hopes of controlling them for personal gain and to harm others out of jealousy. I often wonder if the mess in which the world is in nowadays is direct or indirect involvement of demons that were summoned by people. Yes I would like to see future video regarding that unusual person. Stay safe Oddie.

One could also use this argument the other way around. We often focus on the terrible events troughout history. The rise of the Nazis ,leading to WW2 and enormous suffering is truly Demonic. Maybe even literary ?. However we humans also managed to escape nuclear war, plagues that could have killed humankind but somehow died out overtime...etc .Even as an agnostic historian certain historical events make me wonder if demons/ angels do exist and occasionally interfere in small ways with enormous outcomes.

A bad summer would destroy harvests ,and have whole towns die of hunger . That was hell compared with today. So I would argue that if demons are to blame, they had far more power in the past.

Better than anything on this platform to be honest and I'm just really surprised I haven't heard of, or been able to subscribe to, this channel before. Better late than never I suppose. Loch Ness really is a beautiful place and, fun fact, can hold all the water from the lakes of England and Wales combined, it's so big. If you're into hiking there are some great log cabins around the Loch you can stay in and use as a "base'" to drive to different mountains around it. The views are spectacular, though Loch Lomond is also stunningly beautiful, especially if you hike up even a relatively small hike up Conic Hill gives amazing views over the loch (though Ben Lomond really gives the best views, but is a lot higher). There are a lot of amazing beautiful places in Scotland that are worth a visit. Even Boleskine House, as it would give you a view of Loch Ness.

This was the poor, twisted mind of Crowley. So in a sense...he has taught us to " summon forth" the light. We are now asked to become warriors of the truth. Hopefully, we can now move into the awareness that we are all One. Let's take care of our home. Here on this beautiful planet. Thank you Crowley for helping us out of this darkness.

Thank you for doing such an absolutely exquisite job of covering this fascinating life long obsession of mine (due to a recurring childhood dream I'd had before I even knew of its actual existence.) I may've suggested this topic to you a couple years ago; but I haven't been viewing u-tube in a while; so whether you made this one due to my suggestion, or whatever lead you to it, thank you for covering it accurately, colorfully, tactfully, and tastefully. Ten million thumbs up!!! (Yes, definitely more on Mr. Crowley. And if possible continue with any and all that can be dug up on the alleged tunnels under the house(from house to cemetery), the missing house keeper, and the inter- dimensionary walled up entity. Too in depth it would be for me to explain why, but I feel it must be explored much more fully than my limited internet capabilities can achieve.

Ooooh WOW this is wonderful Oddie ❤ Thank you for covering this because the world needs to know where all this debauchery stems from and his religion is Thelma and yes he did sacrifice children too 😖 He said it was the best if you performed rituals on a 5 year old boy, it was preferable according to Crowley 🙄😖

Missed you Oddie! One of the best channels anywhere. Beautifully presented as always. I have the Crowley tarot deck and always keep it in a pouch in my drawer. Not exactly a Ouija board, but...gives off a darkness. There used to be an occult store in NYC called The Magickal Childe where the owner was an acolyte of Crowley. It too was dark.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks for your very interesting share and positive feedback. much appreciated 😊

[@monilaninetynine3811]

I have that deck, too.

[@StellaWaldvogel]

I have a couple of copies of the deck. I don't find it particularly "dark." It's Lady Harris's art anyway. If you've seen any of Crowley's paintings, you know the deck would be a hot mess if he'd done it himself, lol. Crowley was brilliant. He was also a jerk. But he was nothing to be scared of. If he was, Jimmy Page would have gone mad or come to a bad end years ago. Thanks for the objective look at him and at Boleskine House, Oddie. It's refreshing to have something balanced on the subject. You even pronounced "Crowley" correctly, lol. I hope you do more on him at some point.

[@ravenlass3334]

@StellaWaldvogel I happen to think Lady Frieda's paintings for Crowley's Thoth Deck beautiful and breathtaking, which is why I didn't say they were the provenance of any sense of darkness the deck might emanate to those that are Sensitives, but perhaps where I purchased it. Aged 11. Oddie--please do a video on Lady Frieda and her association with Crowley--it was she who convinced him not to create a traditional tarot deck (i.e. Rider), but to use himself and his notoriety--which she much admired--as their starting point and as companion to his Book of Thoth.

[@itsjeninMass]

I have, I think, two copies of that deck. The deck reads really well for me, and I only bring it out for heavy duty work. It's not an everyday kind of deck for me, and I cherish it.

[@alffetticini1145]

It's the Scottish Highlands, show me anywhere around there that doesn't have an awful history? My great-grandparents and grandparents lived in the Urquhart Glen, Inverness, Redcastle and Nairn. Everything about the place is historic.

[@th-pw8pn]

I've been there twice, once way back in the day when it was still a house and once after it burnt down for the second time. It's a strange place, but the whole area is a strange place. Anyone that spends any time there will feel whatever it is creeping up on you, it gets stifling to the extent that some people are physically sick and have to leave. I also had a bad time on the second visit to the burnt out ruins. One of my mates from Inverness had a job to paint the outside of the house. It was owned by a couple that didn't live there at the time (I think they may have been Swedish?). He had no access to the inside of the house and it was unoccupied. He said there were the sounds of doors opening people running through the house, sounds like a radio playing as well as dogs growling and strange clicking noises. There were shadows flitting about in the corner of his eye, especially when at the back of the house. They also turned up in the morning to find paint knocked over and ladders moved during the night. That is easy to blame on vandalism rather than anything paranormal but he said he just hated being there. The house and land absolutely have some sort of attachment, haunted is not the right word for a place like that...

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks for sharing that, very interesting.

The legend of the Lockness Monster may very well be the spirit of Crowley playing games with the minds of those that have witnessed the alleged beast. I personally believe Crowley opened a portal to a dark dimension. We are living in unprecedented times. Best of luck to everyone as the reset fast approaches us all.

Speaking of dimensions the Mayans predicted that the porthole to the underworld would be opened on the possession of the equinoxes on December 21 2012 which only happens every 25000 years to fulfill the complete astrological horoscope. Makes perfect sense to all of the evil that is now in the world.

I love Ozzy, but he had no clue what he was talking about with that song. Crowley looked down on mediums and said they were "covered with larvae." He didn't "talk to the dead."

[@juanramirez-wk8ty]

@@StellaWaldvogel Of course Ozzy himself had no clue about Crowely, he didn't write the song Mr. Crowely Bob Daisley the bassist in his band wrote it and it was about the false perceptions and misconceptions of Crowely.

It's almost amusing that Crowley believed he could "bind" demonic forces and "control" them in his mental space. That actually made me chuckle. It's also documented that when L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons were performing rituals on Parson's estate in California, trying to conjure powerful forces themselves, Crowley dismissed them with great disdain, calling them idiots.

​​@@ObsoleteOddityOoh yes and a recently departed friend and teacher of mine in the Occult knew all about Crowley and his practices, etc., because there's waaaay, waaaay more to it all than was covered here, for instance Crowley was in the O.T.O.= the Order Templi Orientis. Research into it and Crowley was master at the CRAFT. Crowley practiced in the Temple Black as well as the Temple White, you can do curses or blessings you choose and Crowley did both for "balance!" That's why you see a black and white checkered floor in freemasonic lodges and it represents "duality" between the two, light and dark.
