Their Daughter Went Insane! ~ Abandoned Mansion in the French Countryside

[@lissanne9769]

The x-ray images Lesley held up are of an older man. The procedure in the radiographs is called an IVP, or Intravenous Phylogram. It is done to show the kidneys and the renal system. A contrast agent is injected into the vein of an arm. The technologist then takes a series of images starting around one minute all the way up to fifteen or twenty minutes. It is helpful for diagnosis of kidney stones, disease, or tumors. Every hospital in America preforms two to fifteen of these exams during the week. The reason I know about this exam is because I'm a retired Imaging Technologist, or x-ray tech.

The 100 year old historic tractors should be brought to a museum together with the pictures of the agricultural machines !!! And 1932 newspapers - oh what a gem !! The Calvados bottle is unique - my late husband loved Calvados. The postcad written in 1919 - unreal. By the way, I adore it when you say "costume" looking at men's clothes: it is called "suit" - because "costumes" are for clowns for example :D It was again, Lesley, a great video you and your team put together. Very interesting history - it always amazes me how they are abandoned and many important documents and pictures of sentimental value are left behind.

Mental sickness of one of the most mysterious and most tragic of all ailments that befalls humans. I still remember, all these decades later, of a woman in our village who had it. Her case was even more tragic, because she's in and out of that extreme condition. With two small daughters (about my age, at the time: we lived no more than a few houses away from each other), when she'd go into her state, she'd grab her two children and acted and spoke like she wanted to eat them; but sometime later, she'd come out of it & spoke normally again. She was left behind, by her family, when they came to the West (with us). Heart breaking. It's war time and we had to run away...

@@elenetabatneck2905 Adolescence is a time of substantial neurobiological and behavioral change. These changes are usually beneficial and optimize the brain for the challenges ahead, but may also confer a vulnerability to certain types of psychopathology. Robust changes in hormones and hormonal receptors; increasingly powerful emotional responses to social stimuli, and rapid alterations in motivation and reward systems, may underlie the onset of psychiatric disorders in late adolescence. I believe the parents were kind. Also, the parents were wealthy enough to keep her at home and not have to give her up to a sanatorium. At that age, she could have run away. She lived right on the street.

[@boombayuna536]

what a fascinating place, great video! it gives off really sad vibes though especially at the top floor with the bed rooms. i agree with some of the comments here, maybe she got abused by her dad or someone else and how that would explain why she would've stopped taking care of herself and got addicted to escape reality. teens are at a very vulnerable state when they develop. anyway, i feel sad for caroline, hopefully she's found her peace now :(

Wow such pretty pink roses that still bloom after 35 yrs, in front of door to enter! Wow, amazing a 60 Anniversary plate of marriage! I love the French Doors! In the kitchen where the roof collapsed the 10 pots still hang on the wall! The tractor plaque from 1919 was unique & the mirror above is also unique! See the front door that can`t open, above you see a pretty trimmed with wood Transom glass window! So glad you didn`t fall thru floor when entering, the first bedroom, Lesley! Love the flowery clock on the night stand! The vase for the fake flowers, was made of shells this is unique! Love the glass blown airplane! Now a business office with books & papers & wow a dentist chair! Now the kitchen inside the house, it has a huge cooking pot, I never saw before! Utility room & big bathroom, but why a mirror above a Bidet, Lesley? Now going upstairs to the bedroom of the daughter who eventually died after drinking alcohol was the main thing that made her say things & they believed she was crazy but no not really, being drunk everyday is it! Wow how sad & now understand why parents wanted to leave this home from their only daughter who scream things out the window at people, that would be embarrassing & then to have this house as a reminder of their daughter for 24 yrs there! Now for next room Lesley you say 2 beds but there is a smaller bed up against the wall & a mattress on floor to the right , making it 4 beds?? I know in Europe or Belgium they call it costumes in closets, but in America we call it Clothes & costumes is for Reenactment or Halloween, Lesley! Love all the furniture thru out the Villa! As for the carving thing on the bed, Lesley I believe it is Gold...because it is more yellow color, where as Copper is more orange & is for pots, vases, coins. I believe parents kept the small crib type bed in hallway between bedrooms & in last bedroom is a small bed they were once their daughter`s beds. Huge winery barn! Nothing left to the castle, but was a great adventure with a twist of sadness for their daughter Caroline! Thanks so much Lesley, take care & love you too!!

I noticed three things: 1- The story must be older than 35 years old. The latest style you could find in that house was 80s style, so I guess that this house was abandoned in the 1980s, not in the 1990s; 2- I haven't noticed a single photograph of Caroline and their parents hanging around. That is really, really strange, because there are other family pictures there, and they didn't take them when they left; 3- Have they REALLY left? Some magazines, the 60´s wedding anniversay plate, pens and even a microwave show that this house - though frozen in time - still had people living in there. And the plate is proof that the couple lived there for many, many years after the death of their beloved child. However, if that is true, WHERE are the pictures? A really sad story with a lot of questions left unanswered. beautiful hommage, beautiful podcast, beautiful Bros.

Possibly lead-based paint could have contributed to her illness, along with teenage rebellion and alcohol. Lead poisoning was very common in older homes. Also, Victorians were obsessed with vividly-colored wallpaper, though arsenic poisoning was in those brightly colored prints. Toxic for those in style homeowners who could afford the brightly colored wallpaper. As for the lead poisoning, dear Caroline had a few symptoms. Signs and symptoms of lead poisoning in children include: Developmental delay Learning difficulties Irritability Loss of appetite Weight loss Sluggishness and fatigue Abdominal pain Vomiting Constipation Hearing loss Seizures As a realtor, we still have to hand out lead-based paint disclosures. also arsenic poisoning symptoms, paper arsenic turned into powder and were inhaled by families. A person who has swallowed arsenic may show signs and symptoms within 30 minutes. These may include: drowsiness headaches confusion severe diarrhea many other symptoms.

[@paoladimeo412]

Yes you could be correct because I was reading about the very toxic paints that were used especially lead paint it would have been a very slow death and painful death especially the color green blue red and purple

[@janiebrossmann1178]

I completely understand that these are definitely symptoms but, if that was the case then, the parents would have been experiencing the at least some of same things. I mean it’s possible that they were and the only way to escape the townspeople from gossiping was to pick up and disappear 🤔I guess we’ll never know

[@roseygirl1777]

@@janiebrossmann1178 You could be right, I guess we do know that when they moved into the house Carolina was a baby, and with lead-based products, they are the most susceptible to toxic exposure. Lead in paint is sweet and children tend to eat it. Seems the family also consumed a great deal of alcohol, therefore alcoholism could be a huge contributing factor. Also, we do not know for sure that the parents didn't have any symptoms. Who knows for sure. Just my thoughts.

[@lindan2836]

The victorian era ended in 1901, so this house was in use after that. Also, led poisoning was when you slept in a bed what was painted with a led-based paint (as axemple), you realy had to make contact with the paint, with your skin (or mouth) you did'nt got it from walking past a wall withwallpaper on it led- based flower prints. I've not seen painted beds or tables in this video, so i think led poisoning is a bit far-fenched😊 the reason it was common wirh children was because of toys painted with bright coloured ledpaint and children offcourse, put things in their mouths. I also think you've got 2 story's mixed, the ledpoisening and the arsenic wallpaper-story, from the last one you did get sick from just being in the spac and inhaling it, wich is not the case with wallpaper with led-based coulors on them.

There's something fishy here!!!

Such a sad story & such a lovely home left behind. Thank you for telling this story & showing us the beautiful home. You're always so respectful when touring these properties. Side note regarding the old tv not having a remote: when I was a child, I was the remote 🤣. My mom would call one of us to the living room just to change the channel for her.

[@amariev226]

Same and there were 3 channels, abc, cbs, nbc and the public tv channel pbs.

I think this one is the most creepiest history left behind of this family,this is a beautiful home

[@justcurious3514]

I absolutely love the stone building that you showed us at the end...soo old, I love it

[@Teknikah]

Watching videos like these with such amazing historical items. Even small things no one thinks about like a hairbrish or something. I just want to ring the closest museum or something and tell them to get down there to save them from being lost forever

[@lizoreilly8582]

Thanks Lesley, what a beautiful home but such a sad story, enjoy watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚

[@AbidAlhaleemhafiz]

Thank you Leslie ❤👍🏻💐🇮🇶

I said wow out loud when I saw the bedroom in the intro! It looks like someone just left it!

[@dreamweaver8913]

Another sad thing about Caroline, her parents, knowing how ill she was, continued to keep a large abundance of alcohol in the same home with her.

[@audreycaldwell]

No kidding. I was thinking the same thing.

I believe in Europe, they don't drink water, they drink wine

[@kq20117]

I wouldn’t be surprised if more of the family had a history of alcoholism. It is a disease with genetic and environmental components.

She was raped by her father, a tipic mad conduct from many french families. This explain why she said people perver when they walk near to his room. I am a french descendent, i know that i am saying. She wasn´t nod crazy girl, she was depressed.

[@nickclark6647]

Wow that was awsome, what a time capsele.Plus it is so fun that someone commented; the thing you thought may have been a sled was actually used under blankets to place the bed warming pan on to warm the bed. They used these frames to stop bedding catching fire or becoming scorched Wow i had no clue, it looks like a sculpture to me!

[@debbieschultz9768]

I’m sure after the passing of their daughter, the memories were to painful to stay in this house. It’s very sad that she was so sick

[@Luna586]

Very interesting! Just very sad story of their daughter. Thank you for sharing 🥰🙋🏻‍♀️

Jacobean wall paper in the dining room. The speaker may have been direct communication with the kitchen staff. To move out of a home like this is a gigantic task, and many people stay rather than try to figure out where they should start, what to keep and what to let go. They use less of the home as they age, and their kids move out, until they are confined to a few rooms. We are married 47 years now, and closer than ever…but when one has gone and one remains…little matters as they wait to rejoin their beloved. This house has many memories of the lives lived out within their walls. Even now my century plus home, built in the Arts and Crafts period…filled with antiques, a library, and memories of the stages of our lives…and you can tell where we spend most of our time in, and which rooms get little use. I need to thin out some of the things we no longer use since we entertain on a much smaller scale than in the past. We have more original art than we can hang, and more bronze statuary than we have places for, art glass in abundance, and a Temple on the top floor dedicated to the ancient Gods and Goddesses. We also have items from my Mother’s death, and also from my Grandmother and Great Grandmother.I occasionally wonder what explorers like you will think of our home when we have passed and gone to our next lives. I think that odd curved wooden object may have been a two child teeter totter. As always…beautifully shown with empathy and sensitivity…thank you for this.🖤🇨🇦

Хоть я и живу в России, мне очень нравятся ваши видео. Спасибо.

Hi Leslie, The machine in the lean-two is a thresher that was used to separate grain from the stems which would become straw used for bedding for livestock. Threshers are now known as combines here in Canada. I love your videos.

[@tinasteer2507]

27:39 The large pot with the iron on top may be a copper. You would fill it with water, light a fire under it, then put your washing into the warm water with some soap.

[@rachelhill8267]

Out of all the wonderful videos I've watched of yours, this one makes me so sad. It's beautiful for sure .

[@rachelhill8267]

When you closed Caroline's bedroom door I couldn't help but cry. Thank you for being so kind.

[@inesalcantara1574]

Triste história dessa família, é de deixar-nos comovido. Parabéns as vocês por esse feito.
