Hey Oddie. I'm this is old but hope you see it. I was wondering if the graphics etc were part of an actual movie? Or are they just pieced together? Don't worry haha I am NOT Catholic! That opening salvo with the nun...why is her head like that??? I still can't find it in the vid. And the way she talked freaked me the F out! Was hoping I could see the movie if it's real. Tis' the season and all. Thank you my friend. Hi Oddette! Have we ever met your lovely Mrs? I continue to miss so many things from my faves. I fall down rabbit holes all the time sadly😮 And I have subbed to so many channels over the last idk 15yrs or more. RUclips can't keep up haha. Sorry I'm so wordy🙏🏼🍁☠️👻🎃 This production was SO creepy! I love it. And I thank God I was not brought up or born in that time!🫣
You know what? This reminds me a lot of judges and a lot of cops etc today. Refusing to believe anything that does not fit their CHOSEN narrative\s. Like when kids go missing. Maybe not as bad now but...they still just want to jump on the "they ran away" bandwagon. And some still try to tell scared people that they have to wait 24 or 48 or 30 yrs before they can file a missing person's report and actually START looking. Ugh.🤬😓

What an intriguing story. It was horrifying but I had to finish hoping for a positive ending. Those involved died horrible deaths. I have know personally of a nun and a priest who left the church because they fell in love. They began their own church and had followers that increased. Personally I think few are suited to the celibacy. What a sad and cruel ending to these people's lives. Applause to the masterful story telling.
The book was among over a hundred left behind in the house my father bought when I was five years old in 1956. All the books were in my bedroom! Eventually I discovered Huxley's book. I couldn't put it down. I was attending a catholic school at that time so I was seeing nuns every day. No demonic possessions but Sister Mary Austin had a crush on Father Gallio who was enamored of Miss Rosa,the attractive 3rd grade lay teacher. That's as close as we got to any drama😅
Another cinematic quality upload that has made my Saturday morning. One of these days Hollywood is going to come knocking at your door!!! Thank you for the upload Mr Oddie!!! 💛🙏💛🙏
This is an amazing story. I was educated at a school run by Ursulines and this was not a story that was spoken of openly, I can tell you that. Thanks for also reminding me that I need to rewatch The Devils again soon. Repression is horrific.
Back in the 70's I read Huxley's book, then saw Ken Russell's film and almost 50 years later Oddie comes to us with an amazing & accurate video. Like we'd get anything less than amazing from one of the best creators on RUclips. Thanks for all your hard work Oddie!
@@baronsaturday2103 Vanessa was amazing in the film "Julia" and I was mesmerized by Oliver's acting in "Women in Love"......although I was crushing on Alan Bates at the time😍
Once again Oddy finds such amazing and informative stories that stretches the imagination. I am truly grateful for you hard work on uncovering such obscure stories. BRAVO!
Well. That was disturbing. 😳 This is the first time I had ever heard this story. We all hear of the infamous Salem witch trials and so on. But, this was a first for me. So sad that whether they were coerced or not, all of the involved really did “sell their souls to the devil”. Thanks for sharing.
A historian pointed out that the Salem Witch Trials became highly regretted as soon as they ended which is why witch trials never happened again on any scale in English American colonies again. Witch trials began in Europe ages before that and would continue in some parts of Europe throughout the 18th century. Yet the Salem Witch Trials continue to fascinate everyone as a quintessential American epoch.
Back than most didn't choose it. For hundreds of years it was forced. Hell thousand plus years it was. Like these women he talks about were forced too. For stupid reasons. They come from life of privilege. Couldn't afford to marry them you send them away. That is so cruel and horrible.
Game of thrones took years to make. Your talent makes it possible to go through an epic story, without wasting years of our lives. Damn,... Your good. Cheryl
My mom always wanted me to become a nun and teach at a Catholic school. I got married a few months after I graduated from high school, my husband and I have known each other since we were 10, we had 4 kids and I became a funeral director , my husband is retired from the Navy.
Mom’s sometime’s think they know what we should do with our live’s ‼️ My mother wanted me to marry an ugly short older man when I was 17 she said…Marry For Money And Learn To Love ☹️ NOPE NOT ME ‼️‼️ I married a guy I knew since Kindergarten we had 2 kid’s he moved us to another state stayed for a year and left us there with nothing no money and no car he moved back to where we came from and married his mistress who had 3 kid’s. So he left his own children for her children and treat’s her grandchildren as his grandchildren and not really his own grandchildren they are still married I was hoping for..ONCE A CHEATER ALWAY’S A CHEATER BEING TRUE UNFORTUNATELY NOT IN MY CASE BUT I STILL WOULDN’T A UGLY OLD MAN WHO HAS MONEY AND LEARN TO LOVE. I DID LOVE UNFORTUNATELY I LOVED THE WRONG PERSON ‼️🥺
@@deborahbaker4770 I’m so sorry, my mom was a serial cheater, I was 5 when my biological dad said enough is enough, she had 5 kids by 3 different men, dad walked in on her and the guy that later became my stepdad. My three younger brothers and I had only lived with our biological parents for six months and we were sent back to live with our maternal grandparents again. I was eight when we saw our mom again.
Until this morning I never heard of the nuns of Loudin. And now I have. I'm going to have to research this a little bit more. Thank you once again for a wonderful video, Oddie
I saw the movie, The Devils, which was based on the novel "The Devils of Loudon" when it came out in 1971. I always appreciate a performance by Vanessa Redgrave, no matter what it is. Had no idea at the time what the historical basis was.
@@pirbird14 Same. Saw it just watching old horror movies one time. Thought it was good. That era of movies was able to create an atmosphere with slow haunting music. They put you in a more tired and dreamy state while watching. lol
What an unholy mess,I can't and don't want to even begin to imagine the pain of burning alive. As always,your stories are fascinating,and your visuals the best on RUclips.
Oddie Beau you've done it again! Outstanding, terrifying, sad and horrible...and all of that because he was too handsome! Poor Grandier! Many of those women were victims as well, and on so many levels! Jeanne des Anges was anything but of the angels, her regret was too little too late. Ah the Inquisition, a grand excuse for the old Catholic church to maim, torture, persecute and murder at will. Thank you for telling it as only you can!
The very best item to go with Saturday morning coffee, Oddie's brilliant narration and storytelling of a truly disturbing and diabolical tale. Thank you Oddie as always!!! Best to you and Oddette.

I've learned so much from you....Your videos are so informative and detailed and haunting...Oddie, you are an artist that I admire and believe... thank you, thanks so much
Oddie, I am supporter on Patreon and subscriber here. I’m so glad you are continuing to post on YT. I love watching your videos on my TV. Your are so amazing Sir. The quality of your vids and narration is superb. I actually get giddy when I see you have posted a new one. Keep up the good work 👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Another masterpiece! When i was a litle girl, i started school in what was a convent in Quito, Ecuador. The convent itself was part of the oldest cathedral in the city. I remembet thinking that it was close e to heaven Not only because of the beauty I saw but to this day, I can remember that sense of serenity snd peace thst i felt walking through there.The nuns all wore habits like the one that Sally Fields wore on the Flying nun on tv and to me they looked like some of Gods angels. All I wanted to do at that time and as a good little Catholic girl was to someday also be a nun.
😳 My goodness! What a story! I lost all illusions about the true piousness of the religious sect a long time ago, but this story beats everything. With five of the deadly sins (pride, greed, lust, envy and wrath) on prominent display, I can only conclude that their presence had something to do with people being forced into a vocation not of their own choosing. Great story!
Oddie I’m so glad you’ve covered this topic in your own inimitable style. I wouldn’t want to hear anyone else tell this story. Dear God what a time it must have been. I’ve seen The Devils, with the magnificent powerhouse Oliver Reed, it had a profound impact on me. Grandier’s end haunts me, and omg did Oliver Reed act the pants off that role. Those women had such little choice, so few options, and any mental health issues would understandably have flourished in such a rigid, obsessive environment. I appreciated especially your measured telling of the nuns’ story, bringing it to vivid life in a way that felt as very real as it was. This is one story that doesn’t need embellishment to make it truly horrendous and quite insane. Thank you Oddie! Much love to you and Odette❤️
@@ObsoleteOddity you’re very welcome, I loved what you said after the video had finished too. A religious life can be incredibly fulfilling but you certainly need to want to live that way. I’ve been reading about the nuns who offered themselves as anchorites, being locked away in a room without human contact, only receiving food through a slot in the wall, praying and dispensing advice through a covered window in the wall. That’s a devotion to one’s beliefs that astounds me. Being someone who can talk the leg off a chair, I know I’d fail miserably. On the whole, the history of religious orders is fascinating and complex. I think about the nuns in this story a lot, there’s such a desperation to their actions and the reasons behind their hysteria. It’s all so tragic. Thank you Oddie❤️
@DeidreL9 yes, being forced into such a life is a whole lot different than choosing it willingly - especially if the latter can opt out at any stage. A late friend of mine entered the monastic order decades ago, but realised after a year that it wasn’t right for him. Back in those days, I think many of these nuns and monks had little choice, it was either that or poverty. Thank you for your lovely feedback, my friend 😊
Thank You Oddie . Being an old lady I am familiar with this this slice of history . Mass hysteria is still a thing ! And RIP to the lovely Oliver Reed , one of my favourite actors❤ He played the part very well .
I thought you might be my friend, yes, mass hysteria is still very much alive and well. I also always liked Oliver Reed, extremely good actor, with such a delightful sense of humour.
@@ObsoleteOddity Gosh I fell in love with him back in about the seventies ! I was just a teenager 🤔 Brilliant actor but unfortunately had some serious issues 😶 Thanks for including some of his scenes 👍❤️
That was haunting and brilliant. I watched the film and read the book. This was right up there, with the best on this subject. I tip my hat to you, sir...
Horrific and fascinating. I must seek out and watch The Devils, the controversial film based on these events. Thank you for your riveting presentation, Oddie!
Compelling story. This was unbelievably horrific. These ladies were very impressionable. You did this story justice in an amazing way for me. What was your career, before you did RUclips?
I have watched all of your narrated videos at least twice. I’ve known about your account since I was 15-16 and you are my favorite account on here. I have learned so much morbid history (which piques my interest) since I discovered you, plus your voice is so soothing to listen to. Keep it up, you are amazing!
This was, by far, the most horrific story and very strange and frightening as well. Good job in the telling of a tale by its very nature, had to be very upsetting to you 😢.
This is by far the best you have presented us with yet 😁👏. I was gripped from start to finish, and you left me wanting to delve deeper into the lives of these nuns, and look for Ollie's film ❤. Thank you Oddie x
I love this chanbel and i had no idea he was back, after having to shut down, but my notifications were on i seen the and im absolutely soooooooooo freaking chuffed. Never miss a episode again....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Couldn't imagine living in a time when someone of power could just say witch and that's it your done. You did a great job of this video. I've heard this story before, but not as detailed
What an obscure and fascinating story. I don't seem to get notifications so this was a pleasent surprise. Such a treat on a dark autumn evening. Your content matches no other. Where do you find such gems?
Though I saw Ken Russel’s film “The Devils” in my early twenties back in the mid-nineties and enjoyed it…and despite being a man in the Deep South of the U.S. and being very interested in anything regarding Renaissance history….. I was quite unaware that this was a real event. I’m so glad this randomly showed up in my recommendations. I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you, sir!
I remember this one! Has it really been a year since I first saw it on Patreon? Definitely among the more disturbing stories out there, yet beautifully told and presented, as always!
Actually, two years, since this was uploaded to Patreon, all the videos are two years old before they reach RUclips. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment Amy, much love to you.
I love listening and watching your stories. They capture my attention and I can’t wait for the next one. So informative and interesting. I love historical stories and you bring a different perspective and dimension to some I know. Thank you.
Another cracking piece of content man. Always look forward to when u create new content the well detailed & thorough process u create when narrating these stories. It's always incredibly fascinating & interesting hearing these stories. Keep up the amazing work Oddie. Story telling at it's finest
@@ObsoleteOddity Always do. You've got a natural gift man. As I said story telling at it's finest. What's even better is the incredible effects of each video it's so realistic brings each story to life. I really appreciate all your hard work, time & effort that u put in into each video.
Thank you oddie, the video was as usual of excellent quality and the story was both intriguing and very sad, an extremely horrific death....what awful times to live in if accused of consorting with the devil.
Thank you my friend, very glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it was very easy in those times to be accused of being a witch or a warlock, it could happen to rich and poor.
I can attest! “Oddie” is a most responsive & generously courteous Host! 💐🌼🌹💐 Now, about those nuns; I don’t recall hearing anything that sounded as if Jeanne des Ange repented, atoned, made any recompense to Grandier’s family, friends, nor to the other nuns under her priory superiority & influence. But I am willing to review the ending, just to be honestly certain. To be even-handed, it sounds as if she never questioned the motives, the designs, nor even certain individual directives given to her by the “priesthood.” Following blindly & ultimately, submissively (for such a forceful person) into carrying-out whatever deceptions she herself performed, fully-aware & intent on inducing other women of the vocation to follow her lead. But given the era, she was in no real position to resist, short of resignation-or worse for herself. It does seem that The Inquisition age was simply rife to the point of mass-insanity with needless “religiously-conducted” bloodshed. Just like in this case, anyone rational would wonder-even in that period-WHY the result most sought-after was death, in such an atrocious number of matters?? Especially, when a simple transfer, removal, or replacement would’ve just as well served!! People’s hatred of people can really set them beside themselves, obviously. “Out of all compass,” as the British expression goes, I think. The real “miraculous” wonder emerging from the story is that the clergy somehow acted as if they were convinced that they were carrying-out an actual religion, letting the apparent “convictions” expressed by some others overrule every single qualm of decency. All with nobody intervening who was ever powerful enough to even remind them of the differences between “religion” per se, and acts of warfare that were tantamount to utter depravity-torture before homicide. Mutilations. Violent assaults. AFTER pronouncing the individuals “afflicted” themselves!! In this case, knowing themselves & each other to have been idly indulging in vanity, jealousy, envy, & only Heaven knows the rest. Psychopathy, masked as Religion, then carried out in play-acting, even after everyone most directly involved is deceased. They really should’ve all just gotten married, or just opened a brothel, & changed the rules, made up some better-suited ones they could actually handle. Who was it they were trying to convince? Loudun? The king? The children??
a part of this touch my soul as 15 years old my husband told me he didn’t know if he wanted to stay or go to his lover as the baby came out me in pieces that day. At this early age I lost me and my baby and lost the soul of my life.. as a old woman looking back.. it was a time in life that a story of its own..
What a great story in the way you told it 👏👏! That's really a great contribution! It shows that you love what you are doing. Glad I found your Channel 🙏.
That's a tragic yet amazing account. I enjoy doing research, and I'm always impressed by the research you put into these videos. I agree that priest was a cad but certainly didn't deserve his fate. And I feel even worse for those nuns. It's interesting how his enemies met terrible fates. Was it guilt? I do wonder.
Beautiful visuals! Creepy gore, well done! Another Obsolete Oddities masterpiece! Thank you! I think I shall watch this one again, because it's late this night, and I have put down my drink. My cats gather round, and so I will say good night. You are the master of the macabre, and your stories are not to be missed. I fell into a deep dark cloud of the night as I close my eyes. What dreams will I weave? Only you, Sir Oddie knows...Sweet dreams to all for now, I will say good night:)) Til the morrow, when we meet again. Thank you very much for this story. God Bless to you, Odette and your furry friends. You are loved!
I have not listened to you oddie for a while since my last tablet bit the dust. You are as amazing as ever, l will be sure to never let that happen again, l am just off to rectify my omissions. It's great to have your you tube posts back in my life again 🎉😂😊
Talk about austere, my coworker is a former nun who took a vow of poverty. The condition of the convent in which she lived was so bad, it should have been condemned. Pleas for repairs went unheard. Then her mother died and left her six million dollars. Rather than turn the funds over as expected, she left the order, had the convent razed and replaced it with a new, modest one. She is still a devout Catholic. She no longer hands over money to the church. When she sees neglect, she remedies it. Whenever I hear stories about nuns in a convent, I think about that. Thank you for the story!
That story was horrific! The descriptions of the possessions, the burning, oh my! I have never heard of that piece of History. Thank you so much for sharing...I think 🤔
I really appreciate your videos I have been watching for year's I don't know how much your patreon is so I only get to see what videos you put on RUclips but I still really appreciate them your voice just makes the story come alive if you could let me know how much your patron cost per month I will consider it into my budget
What an amazing story told by an amazing narrator. Your work never fails to amaze me. Keep up the great work. Have you thought about going into theater and acting. What you bring now is incredible work that I find very intriguing. Thank you for sharing these stories with us!
I think that this is your finest production so far. I can't seem to remember the name of the film with Oliver Reed that is shown thru tinted lenses here.
@@ObsoleteOddity You're very much welcome and thank you Squire! I'm off next week, so I'll be having a wee marathon watching your other videos! Greetings and salutations from a Swede in Glasgow, Scotland! 🍻

Another masterpiece! When i was a litle girl, i started school in what was a convent in Quito, Ecuador. The convent itself was part of the oldest cathedral in the city. I remembet thinking that it was close e to heaven Not only because of the beauty I saw but to this day, I can remember that sense of serenity snd peace thst i felt walking through there.The nuns all wore habits like the one that Sally Fields wore on the Flying nun on tv and to me they looked like some of Gods angels. All I wanted to do at that time and as a good little Catholic girl was to someday also be a nun.
Thank you for your great feedback!
Thank you also for sharing your emotional response while being in the convent.
Lovely.
😳 My goodness! What a story! I lost all illusions about the true piousness of the religious sect a long time ago, but this story beats everything. With five of the deadly sins (pride, greed, lust, envy and wrath) on prominent display, I can only conclude that their presence had something to do with people being forced into a vocation not of their own choosing. Great story!
Very glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for your great feedback! Thank you also for your kind donation 😊
Oddie I’m so glad you’ve covered this topic in your own inimitable style. I wouldn’t want to hear anyone else tell this story. Dear God what a time it must have been. I’ve seen The Devils, with the magnificent powerhouse Oliver Reed, it had a profound impact on me. Grandier’s end haunts me, and omg did Oliver Reed act the pants off that role.
Those women had such little choice, so few options, and any mental health issues would understandably have flourished in such a rigid, obsessive environment.
I appreciated especially your measured telling of the nuns’ story, bringing it to vivid life in a way that felt as very real as it was. This is one story that doesn’t need embellishment to make it truly horrendous and quite insane. Thank you Oddie! Much love to you and Odette❤️
Thanks for your really great feedback Deidre, a truly wonderful compliment - much appreciated :)
@@ObsoleteOddity you’re very welcome, I loved what you said after the video had finished too. A religious life can be incredibly fulfilling but you certainly need to want to live that way. I’ve been reading about the nuns who offered themselves as anchorites, being locked away in a room without human contact, only receiving food through a slot in the wall, praying and dispensing advice through a covered window in the wall. That’s a devotion to one’s beliefs that astounds me. Being someone who can talk the leg off a chair, I know I’d fail miserably. On the whole, the history of religious orders is fascinating and complex. I think about the nuns in this story a lot, there’s such a desperation to their actions and the reasons behind their hysteria. It’s all so tragic. Thank you Oddie❤️
@DeidreL9 yes, being forced into such a life is a whole lot different than choosing it willingly - especially if the latter can opt out at any stage.
A late friend of mine entered the monastic order decades ago, but realised after a year that it wasn’t right for him. Back in those days, I think many of these nuns and monks had little choice, it was either that or poverty.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, my friend 😊
Thank You Oddie . Being an old lady I am familiar with this this slice of history . Mass hysteria is still a thing ! And RIP to the lovely Oliver Reed , one of my favourite actors❤ He played the part very well .
I thought you might be my friend, yes, mass hysteria is still very much alive and well.
I also always liked Oliver Reed, extremely good actor, with such a delightful sense of humour.
@@ObsoleteOddity Gosh I fell in love with him back in about the seventies ! I was just a teenager 🤔 Brilliant actor but unfortunately had some serious issues 😶 Thanks for including some of his scenes 👍❤️
That was haunting and brilliant. I watched the film and read the book. This was right up there, with the best on this subject. I tip my hat to you, sir...
That is very kind of you and it really makes my day, that my efforts are so appreciated - I thank you sincerely.
Horrific and fascinating. I must seek out and watch The Devils, the controversial film based on these events.
Thank you for your riveting presentation, Oddie!
The Devils is a great film, I love it! I think it is a masterpiece, directed by Ken Russell. It's sick❤😍🥰!
Thank you! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the presentation my friend!
Compelling story. This was unbelievably horrific. These ladies were very impressionable. You did this story justice in an amazing way for me. What was your career, before you did RUclips?
Thank you so much, very glad you enjoyed it!
A wonderful dive into a tragic tale. Stupendous narration and a very compelling story.
I really appreciate that, thank you.
@@ObsoleteOddity anytime friend
That was horrific and so terribly sad. He really had some terrible enemies, to think these were people of the church. Thank you Odie
Bravo! Another excellent video! Your research is remarkable! Thanks so much Oddie!
I appreciate that, thank you so much!
Thanks for the hard work, Oddie! You've truly enhanced my life over the past years.
That’s very kind of you my friend, thank you so much for the lovely feedback 😊
I have watched all of your narrated videos at least twice. I’ve known about your account since I was 15-16 and you are my favorite account on here. I have learned so much morbid history (which piques my interest) since I discovered you, plus your voice is so soothing to listen to. Keep it up, you are amazing!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, very glad you enjoy my morbid presentations!
A kindred spirit indeed 😊
Thank you for noticing and taking the time to respond to my comment. I made a post on Facebook out of sheer excitement😊
This was, by far, the most horrific story and very strange and frightening as well. Good job in the telling of a tale by its very nature, had to be very upsetting to you 😢.
Thank you very much!
This is by far the best you have presented us with yet 😁👏. I was gripped from start to finish, and you left me wanting to delve deeper into the lives of these nuns, and look for Ollie's film ❤. Thank you Oddie x
I’m very pleased to hear that Clara, thank you so much for your lovely feedback! 🙏😊
Thanks for the upload Oddie! 🤘🏻❤
My pleasure!
I love this chanbel and i had no idea he was back, after having to shut down, but my notifications were on i seen the and im absolutely soooooooooo freaking chuffed. Never miss a episode again....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Couldn't imagine living in a time when someone of power could just say witch and that's it your done. You did a great job of this video. I've heard this story before, but not as detailed
I appreciate your positive feedback!
What an obscure and fascinating story. I don't seem to get notifications so this was a pleasent surprise. Such a treat on a dark autumn evening. Your content matches no other. Where do you find such gems?
I really appreciate your positive feedback - thank you very much :)
Loving the intersperced clips from Ken Russel's "the Devils"
Bravo! Ken Russell did an amazing film of that story. You filled in all the cracks. Thank You ! 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😊
Though I saw Ken Russel’s film “The Devils” in my early twenties back in the mid-nineties and enjoyed it…and despite being a man in the Deep South of the U.S. and being very interested in anything regarding Renaissance history…..
I was quite unaware that this was a real event.
I’m so glad this randomly showed up in my recommendations.
I enjoyed it immensely!
Thank you, sir!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback,
So glad you’re enjoying my content. 😊
I remember this one! Has it really been a year since I first saw it on Patreon? Definitely among the more disturbing stories out there, yet beautifully told and presented, as always!
Actually, two years, since this was uploaded to Patreon, all the videos are two years old before they reach RUclips.
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment Amy, much love to you.
Thank you, Oddie. What a story! And well told.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
I love listening and watching your stories. They capture my attention and I can’t wait for the next one. So informative and interesting. I love historical stories and you bring a different perspective and dimension to some I know. Thank you.
Glad it was to your liking, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
Absolutely brilliant. Your voice is amazing. So captivating. So mesmerising. Thank you for the stories
Thank you so much!
To Oddie, another fantastic story, looking forward to the next episode.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Another cracking piece of content man. Always look forward to when u create new content the well detailed & thorough process u create when narrating these stories. It's always incredibly fascinating & interesting hearing these stories. Keep up the amazing work Oddie. Story telling at it's finest
Very glad you enjoyed it my friend, and thank you so much for the fantastic feedback!
@@ObsoleteOddity Always do. You've got a natural gift man. As I said story telling at it's finest. What's even better is the incredible effects of each video it's so realistic brings each story to life. I really appreciate all your hard work, time & effort that u put in into each video.
@chrissilvester5663 much appreciated Chris, that’s very kind of you 🙏😊
This was so captivating! What a horrific time in history.
Oddie is the best story teller I have ever heard here is another masterpiece thanks again Oddie
That's very kind of you, thank you for that.
Thank you oddie, the video was as usual of excellent quality and the story was both intriguing and very sad, an extremely horrific death....what awful times to live in if accused of consorting with the devil.
Thank you my friend, very glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, it was very easy in those times to be accused of being a witch or a warlock, it could happen to rich and poor.
Look forward to each and every video from you and your sweetheart. Lots of thanks to you both. Hope yall are having a beautiful holiday season.
I appreciate your positive feedback my friend, thank you so much 😊
Wow Oddie!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely!!!”
There's no exceptions, no matter the length of your videos they are well worth every second. And may I add educational.
Much appreciated, thank you kindly!
I can attest! “Oddie” is a most responsive & generously courteous Host! 💐🌼🌹💐
Now, about those nuns; I don’t recall hearing anything that sounded as if Jeanne des Ange repented, atoned, made any recompense to Grandier’s family, friends, nor to the other nuns under her priory superiority & influence.
But I am willing to review the ending, just to be honestly certain. To be even-handed, it sounds as if she never questioned the motives, the designs, nor even certain individual directives given to her by the “priesthood.” Following blindly & ultimately, submissively (for such a forceful person) into carrying-out whatever deceptions she herself performed, fully-aware & intent on inducing other women of the vocation to follow her lead. But given the era, she was in no real position to resist, short of resignation-or worse for herself.
It does seem that The Inquisition age was simply rife to the point of mass-insanity with needless “religiously-conducted” bloodshed. Just like in this case, anyone rational would wonder-even in that period-WHY the result most sought-after was death, in such an atrocious number of matters?? Especially, when a simple transfer, removal, or replacement would’ve just as well served!!
People’s hatred of people can really set them beside themselves, obviously. “Out of all compass,” as the British expression goes, I think.
The real “miraculous” wonder emerging from the story is that the clergy somehow acted as if they were convinced that they were carrying-out an actual religion, letting the apparent “convictions” expressed by some others overrule every single qualm of decency.
All with nobody intervening who was ever powerful enough to even remind them of the differences between “religion” per se, and acts of warfare that were tantamount to utter depravity-torture before homicide. Mutilations. Violent assaults. AFTER pronouncing the individuals “afflicted” themselves!!
In this case, knowing themselves & each other to have been idly indulging in vanity, jealousy, envy, & only Heaven knows the rest.
Psychopathy, masked as Religion, then carried out in play-acting, even after everyone most directly involved is deceased.
They really should’ve all just gotten married, or just opened a brothel, & changed the rules, made up some better-suited ones they could actually handle. Who was it they were trying to convince? Loudun? The king? The children??
That's very kind of you, thank you for that.
I totally agree with your views!
a part of this touch my soul as 15 years old my husband told me he didn’t know if he wanted to stay or go to his lover as the baby came out me in pieces that day. At this early age I lost me and my baby and lost the soul of my life.. as a old woman looking back.. it was a time in life that a story of its own..
So sorry, Ruth.
May your life now be full, gentle and meaningful.❤
@@Shellorena it is full of a life who history took too much but I made it
What a great story in the way you told it 👏👏! That's really a great contribution! It shows that you love what you are doing. Glad I found your Channel 🙏.
That’s very kind of you, thank you so much for your positive feedback!
ODDIE ! That was so scary - but I thoroughly enjoyed it ❤
Happy it was to your liking Dill!
We all love a good scare 💀👻
@@ObsoleteOddity we certainly do Oddie , thank you ❤️
That's a tragic yet amazing account. I enjoy doing research, and I'm always impressed by the research you put into these videos. I agree that priest was a cad but certainly didn't deserve his fate. And I feel even worse for those nuns. It's interesting how his enemies met terrible fates. Was it guilt? I do wonder.
I appreciate your positive feedback my friend, thank you so much 😊
So sad. Really horrible ways of death penalty. Thank you my friend love to you and Mrs Oddie. Be safe.💕
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Another great video Oddie 👍 I hope you are well.
Thanks, you too!
What a fascinating story Oddie!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
This is so twisted. Excellent presentation but, damn, so descriptive... I had to turn my bedside lamp back on, it was creeping me out so much!
Beautiful visuals! Creepy gore, well done! Another Obsolete Oddities masterpiece! Thank you! I think I shall watch this one again, because it's late this night, and I have put down my drink. My cats gather round, and so I will say good night. You are the master of the macabre, and your stories are not to be missed. I fell into a deep dark cloud of the night as I close my eyes. What dreams will I weave? Only you, Sir Oddie knows...Sweet dreams to all for now, I will say good night:)) Til the morrow, when we meet again. Thank you very much for this story. God Bless to you, Odette and your furry friends. You are loved!
Thanks for your kind words my friend, that's so nice of you.
I have not listened to you oddie for a while since my last tablet bit the dust. You are as amazing as ever, l will be sure to never let that happen again, l am just off to rectify my omissions. It's great to have your you tube posts back in my life again 🎉😂😊
Welcome back!
Thank you so much for your great feedback, my friend, very much appreciated!
Why on earth do i leave it months to watch your videos? On the plus side i have lots to binge watch! Thats an absolute treat!
Thank you!
Thank you for another interesting story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Talk about austere, my coworker is a former nun who took a vow of poverty. The condition of the convent in which she lived was so bad, it should have been condemned. Pleas for repairs went unheard. Then her mother died and left her six million dollars. Rather than turn the funds over as expected, she left the order, had the convent razed and replaced it with a new, modest one. She is still a devout Catholic. She no longer hands over money to the church. When she sees neglect, she remedies it. Whenever I hear stories about nuns in a convent, I think about that. Thank you for the story!
Thank you for your story as well, how delightful!
@@ObsoleteOddity When you get to be my age, nearly everything reminds you of a story! 😆
That story was horrific! The descriptions of the possessions, the burning, oh my!
I have never heard of that piece of History. Thank you so much for sharing...I think 🤔
Glad you enjoyed it!

Sad story. Great way to narrate. Thank you!

I think that this is your finest production so far. I can't seem to remember the name of the film with Oliver Reed that is shown thru tinted lenses here.
I really appreciate that, thank you.
Excellent stuff once again Oddie!

Amazing and Mysterious story, You are analyzing these events successfully, l appreciate you, Mr. 🌹👏👏👍👍

@@ObsoleteOddity
You're very much welcome and thank you Squire!
I'm off next week, so I'll be having a wee marathon watching your other videos!
Greetings and salutations from a Swede in Glasgow, Scotland! 🍻
Well then, I may be possessed. I act in the described manner sometimes when people really piss me off...
What an interesting and creepy story that was. Super great video, Mr.Oddie
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Oddy, Great channel. You could make a lot of money having your own TV channel like Discovery channel or something. But your talents are much appreciated here. Thank you.❤❤
I really appreciate that, thank you.
Oh, Awesome Oddity! A couple of decades ago I sprung the movie "The Devils" on a friend when we were tripping acid. He still hates me...
Ha! So I take it, he didn’t have an all together positive experience. 😄
BRILLIANT presentation. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
Creepy but captivating video!❤
Absolutely luv your work.... Been watching for years now ❤❤
Thank you so much!
