7 Medieval Ghost Stories & Old Tales of The Paranormal...

[@BigSpudz]

I'm starting to think that the 21st Century is becoming more Mad than Medieval Times. Much Love from Birmingham UK.

Strange Times indeed, sending well wishes from the Navajo Nation 🙏 stay safe.

[@aicerg]

Oh, I'm certain we'll go down in history as the second Dark Ages.

[@DanielECulbertson]

You're not wrong. Some of these stories are still more believable than a lot of the Q-Anon stuff some of my insane fellow Americans believe! It's quite embarrassing, really! 🤣

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

Dean... Your country banned weaponized spoons, covered up the rape of tens of thousands girls by Muslims, and criminalized opinion. "Just starting to think..." Jesus fucking Christ.

[@OceanSwimmer]

More, please! Spooky stories from long ago are the best!

[@scottblack7182]

None of these were old stories 😑 just made them up.

[@susiegardener]

I believe the demon had an "emaciated" face, not an "emancipated" one, although, come to think of it, "emancipated" may be scarier! These stories are excellent.

[@mmmuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiirrrrr]

"The Horseman Whose Head Had Been Emancipated From His Body" is one of my favorite old ghost stories...

[@mmmuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiirrrrr]

lmbo. I know. It doesn't work.

[@honorladone8682]

LMFAO yeah right!!!

[@1993httphil]

The Demon probably also had blue hair and they/them pronouns.

[@mrs.g.9816]

The idea of living in those dark, brutal times - and believing your soul is always in peril - is scary enough! I can imagine, though, the comfort of sitting by a warm, bright hearth in autumn or winter and listening to an older person sing ballads and tell stories.

[@peachrenard2320]

For as dark and scary as the times may have been, hearing about what daily lives were like and what people did for fun, I can't help but imagine that people had times of immense happiness as well. (Though, I enjoy modern medicine and electronics.)

[@canadious6933]

I believe as well that in the end, stories have always been told in human history and some people liked hearing scary stories. Just like today. So it was definitely a form of entertainment too

[@fidemetveritatem6272]

[@electropocalypse5877]

Very very well researched and enticing work! I thought the account given by Rodulfus Glaber ( @ 3:39 "A Demonic Visitor" ) was fascinating as there have been other stories like this one and today mainstream science views these episodes as 'sleep paralysis', of which (wiki-quote here) affect 8% of the general population at least once in their lifetime. I experienced it as a young child where a red faced, yellow eyed laughing man was choking me. Truly a most terrifying experience, though it is somewhat fuzzy and cartoon-like to me now. Memory can be interesting that way.

[@mellyg8761]

I love this channel! More spooky stuff please! 💀💀💀💀

[@tricivenola8164]

An actual supernatural event doesn't need to be that exciting in the telling- when it happens to you. These sound like embellishments of actual occurrences. Thank you for telling them to us. And the art is wonderful!

[@peachrenard2320]

These kind of remind me of some of the folktales I was told as a child. Even though I had never heard these specific tales, it still feels oddly familiar to hear them.

[@spinstercatlady]

More, more 👏 Love these historical ghost stories!

[@scottblack7182]

Did you bother looking any of these up? He made them up guy😑. Nothing historical about it.

You forgot to name MR James among your authors of scary stories. He’s one of the very best.

[@risboturbide9396]

Great one, man. I just found your channel tonight; your video about the oubliette torture is incredible. Subscribed I am!

[@monicacall7532]

Hahaha! These stories remind me of the first night of summer camp every year when the older campers would tell ghost/horror stories to the brand new campers. We relished the ability to scare the newbies out of their minds and then either make them walk back to their own cabin in the dark or make them afraid to go to sleep.

[@anakatrien2463]

Honestly the first thing that I thought of too 😸

4:14 an emancipated face? You sure?

[@khublaklonk4480]

I imagine he meant to say "emaciated".

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

This is all hilarious

[@electropocalypse5877]

100%! I can't believe I missed that LOL. Emaciated (mentioned above) sounds right on the money, though I think the word cadaverous would've been even more grisly and terrifying. I will add I must hand it to Medieval Madness for his great vocabulary. I honestly think British, Irish, Scottish, New Zealand and Australian people (I hope I got 'em all) have better focus on speech and grammar than we do in the far West. Still, nothing is as it was in my grandparents days which is frustrating to me. A persons manner of speech was far more respected then and people were often classed that way. Nowadays we have spellchecks everywhere with poor vocabulary, audio books, podcasts and media/TV. As well, writing today uses far less descriptive and colourful language than it did during the 19th century. Also, reading a book on an LED screen isn't the most fun after a while (blue light filters and/or dark mode help to some degree). Overall, quality should not be forsook for convenience. I genuinely hope people teach their kids these values more... anyway, sorry for the random rant there. 😕

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Oh poor Edmund. 😢 I’m glad his friends gave him a proper burial and I’m glad the wolf protected the head until it was found. The Vikings were AHs 😤

[@FrancT-]

This channel is pretty cool with High-quality content. I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for good medieval history books? I've been reading books by Dan Jones and Lars Bronsworth. Their books read more like entertaining novels, while also being educational. Do you know of other books that can fall into this category?

[@lavendereyes1533]

What topics are you looking for? I’ve got tons of recs

[@FrancT-]

@@lavendereyes1533 anything really. Particularly the Byzantine Empire, the crusades, Arthurian mythology, the Arabic world in medieval times, the Tudors, the Franks, etc. :)

[@scottblack7182]

@@FrancT- Absolutely 😏 There are stories that actually have evidence like the hoofprints in the snow incident or the white witch of rose hall,The untraversed haunted mine shaft, Matter of fact go to the channel Bedtime Stories. Everything there are actual accounts of things that have happened without trying to be tricky or full of sh*t. I promise you will love every second of it and there is an actual effort to make the videos good. Be sure to come thank me after you find it.

Another thing to realize is that most Medieval folks would have taken these tales not as a pleasantly thrilling diversion, like King or Poe, but as Gospel truth.

01:20. Would this explain Dracula being undead? Because, (even though beheading is one of the means to destroy a vampire) his head was not buried with him, but taken to Instanbul to be put on a pike?

Death! A fascinating subject, I think we all "enjoy" this modern taboo (where as in the past few spoke about sex it's the opposite these days) is there more you could research about the ceremony of death for the common-man, women, child and that of upper classes or royalty. In comparison to the recent funeral of QE II and the average funeral costing thousands of Pounds. Have a brilliant weekend Lisa & James - hope you don't have nightmares. 👻👻👻

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

"where in the past few talked about sex" Where do you come to this delusional belief?

@@Vicus_of_Utrecht A remark often found in documentaries carried by broadcast media covering this subject, can you recommend some lettered historians whose belief is less delusional in your opinion.

Hi, I like your content so much, but can I request that sometimes when you're about to say names, or hard to spell places, can you show the spelling on the video? English isn't my first language, it can be hard to follow sometimes. Especially sometimes the names are in French and their spelling are honestly the hardest to understand. And the auto generated sub can get really really weird.... For example, minute 4 it wrote: "Saint Lego Monastery of shampoo" 😂😂
