Immurement happened by accident recently in a tragic case where a mentally disturbed man fell behind a wall at a supermarket and several years later after the supermarket had closed his skeletal remains were found. It's believed his screams were muffled by the sound of the freezers.

Scene from a Hogan's Heroes episode... Major Hochstetter: Of course, we could give you the time to think it over in a special cell we have. It's not big enough to stand up in, and it is not big enough to lie down in. Colonel Hogan: Sounds like a hotel room I once had in Cleveland. Major Hochstetter: During the days, the temperature is 140 degrees, and at night, it is below freezing. Colonel Hogan: That's the hotel, all right. Major Hochstetter: Then, if you still won't talk, you will be starved, tortured and then shot. Well, Colonel, what you say, hmm? Colonel Hogan: What can I say? You've made me homesick for Cleveland.
There were also some who willingly volunteered to be immured as a form of religious devotion. They were called Anchorites. They’d be walled up and would spend every moment they had meditating and studying religion. They were also known for offering life advice through a slit in their wall to any who would listen.

The Castillo De San Marcos in St. Augustine Florida had a similar incident that was discovered there. A small room was found in which an unknown individual was bricked in to a small room and left to die.
Thank you, I was thinking it was a small group. Was going to make a comment on what I was told on various tours. Over many years. One of my favorite forts. And not research. Facts are important. More importantly to be correct. All to many herendious things perpetuated on the indigenous population that was. Originally on the Continent when. "Discovered ." By Europeans. Eggmont key. Has some brutal history. For such a beautiful island. History. True history is important. If not. We're bound to repeat.
And there's a live entombment tale from whatever fort Edger Allen Poe served at when he was drafted. It's the inspiration for his story "The Cask of Amontillado"
Gotta wonder if THIS is where the phrase "skeletons in their closet" comes from! So unbearably sad and horrific! Edgar Allan Poe reminds us of this living nightmare. I learned a new word!
The phrase stems from an early 1800's metaphor, with no known historical reference pointing to the origin. The expression is metaphorical and can refer to any shameful secret.
That's one way to look at it. All we have is one another, and it is dangerous to seek others out. I wonder why we are so flawed. Did God intended it to be so?
Glamis (pronounced GLAMZ) Castle in Scotland has a hideous tale of immurement. The Ogilvie clan were escaping from their enemies, the Lindsays and sought sanctuary at Glamis. The Earl Strathmore was unsure whether to invite them in, lest he anger the Lindsays, of which he was on friendly terms. He decided to and the Ogilvies were led to a room in the castle and promised supper. Years later, upon hearing violent and haunting sounds in the castle, the present Earl decided to investigate. He had the door to the chamber opened and took a step inside. He was horrified and took a moment before backing out of the room, turning the lock in the door twice and being a changed man for the remainder of his life. What he had seen was the remains of the Ogilvie family, when their host had escorted them into the chamber with promise of food and drink, he left the room, locked them in and left them to starve. There is a grisly aspect to this story - after the Ogilvies had been immured for one month, the door was opened by the factor of the castle. What he saw was a horrific sight - the bodies of the Ogilvies were lying mutilated…and one remaining member of the family was cowering over a body, blood covering his mouth, hands and clothing, with a facial expression of horror and madness. In his desperation to survive, he had been forced to eat from the bodies of those who had starved. The door was quickly shut and the wall bricked up.
. They got dropped in a hole & could hear people's parties! 😳 Then I heard of a castles hole (in Ireland??) The owners decided to remove the bones. It took over 100 trips!!! But, 1skeleton had a pocket watch from 1841 on him. That's stunningly terrifying.
My family built leap castle. I'm an O'Bannon and it's considered the most haunted castle in Europe. The did 3 different excavations of the dungeons( kinda looked like the pit jabba the hutt drops luke in) and one of the reasons there was so many bones is because after Cromwell came thru the castle was given to the O'Caroll clan and my clan was genocided
I remember seeing something like this at Warwick Castle, England. There was a hole in the floor about the size of a garbage can into which they stuffed the condemned and left to die all contorted. I still cringe to think of this.
Not mentioned is what must’ve been the horrible accumulation of human waste during the long period before the person expired, especially if food was administered along the way. Brutal.
Back then people just shit wherever they were standing. Versailles palace had to be abandoned twice because of feces accumulation. It's likely they didn't notice or care.
This is perhaps the most humane form of execution. Since the human body cannot live for 7 days without water. Its basically a sentence of dying of thirst... a bit kinder than other methods
King George 1st of England, Elector of Hanover, paused only long enough to wall up his wife before coming in great pomp to his new kingdom. She lived for sometime, but never saw daylight and was a long standing prisoner in damp, darkness and staleness of air.
Yes, in the more comical Centerville Ghost movie, he was immured by his own father for being a coward. And his spirit can only find peace if one of his own blood shows true courage. Always confused me, since he died before having any children, and the story never stated his father having more kids. So, how did he have surviving bloodlines able to break the curse?
I enjoy your narration. What part of England are you you from? You're maybe the 5th person I've heard pronounce 'skeletal' like that and I'm curious if that's specific to a particular region of England.
This Bears many similarities to being changed into a dungeon and being pissed and should have bought until the level rises up high enough to drown you-sound familiar?
When the SS Great Britain was renovated the skeletons of a man and a boy were discovered within the hull. One can only imagine that they guided the last plate into place and it was immediately rivetted in before they had time to get out!
It's definitely a myth. And while the Great Eastern was tainted with the rumor of a "phantom riveter's" remains found sealed in the ship's hold during a 1952 remodel. the fact that the ship had undergone multiple remodels previously without any remains being found and recorded in ships logs or company maintenance inspections, lends credence to this being yet another "whale tale".
Never knew it was called this but know of the monk at Thornton Abbey at Thornton Curtis in Lincolnshire who was given this punishment for selling Abbey property he is known to haunt the gatehouse
this gave us (uk) a song london bridge is falling down, my fair lady. the fair lady it was found when the bridge was removed was walled in a small room within the foundation, i herd she had lived a while due to the wet walls and rats. the worst thing is that the song is about the multiple rebuilding of said bridge and the possibility that each time may have resulted in this sort of barbaric sacrifice
Actually, immurement wasn't always an execution method. Sometimes, people immured in this way were fed regularly and they could last several decades in their walled up state.
A great comment from someone who is obviously more enlightened than the rest of the human race. If you would do a little bit more studying you would find out that even non-religious people use this form of punishment. But no, you haven't asked to grind. Enjoy that meaningless degree you received.
@@joejones4172 well Joe, if you were to actually crack open a Bible and read it you would find out that Jesus said he is bringing the sword. There are also some people he recommends putting a millstone about their necks and throwing into the ocean.
@@jamesnoel5173 You’re both right. The Bible is barbaric, yet Christianity persists because “God is Love” remains the important part.

ASDA in Livingston in the1980s (possibly Walmart at that time). A burglar had gained entry via the air conditioning vent but got stuck at a 90 degree bend. After a couple of weeks people were complaining about a putrid smell. A friend of mine who was an apprentice maintenance engineer went upto the air conditioning vent with his tradesman, undone some bolts only to find the bloated remains of the burglar trapped in the air conditioning shaft. Even forty years on, he is still emotionally scared (well f*cked up is the best description). So in this case crime definitely does not pay.......what a horrible death.
In "Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History", by Bruce Cumings Ph.D. relates that Crown Prince Sado (Yi Seon) 1735 to 1763, was confined in a rice chest, during the heat of the summer, on the orders of his father and allowed to die of dehydration & starvation. He was insane and guilty of many crimes beatings, sadism, rape & murder. Because he was of the Royal Line it would be improper to convict him of his crimes and execute him. So he was locked in the rice box and allowed to die. There is a Winkpedia entry on this under "Crown Prince Sado." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Prince_Sado
Years back they were taking a wall down in Carlisle castle, and found the body of a woman with a new born baby that had been walled up. No one new who she or the child was, or that they were even there at all until the just happened to take down this wall.
Just to put the record straight, I just found an article on this, from when it was found in the late 18 hundreds. It is actually an urban legend that's grown up around these bones and cloth found at the time. On further examination they were found to be animal bones and a few bits of cloth.
Seems every device thinkable, and every way of torture has been used at one time or another that man has thought of creating. Some for a few minutes, some a few hours...and some that took much longer, all resulting in death.
I love the narrator's accent. Of course, we Americans speak the most pure form of English. But I enjoy hearing the various dialects from merry, old English. I really like this channel. Thanks so much!
What about the men who fornicated with these virgins or nuns? It takes two people but only one is being immured. That's the discrimination faced by women for hundreds of years. Thank God we are past that cruel time but still a lot needs to be done. Even today some cultures punish only the women and not the men. So unfortunate and tragic.
Historically men have suffered and will continue to suffer far more than women. For instance,wars and accidents at work. You probably won't see it that way
No Kevin is absolutely correct. Women have long been considered a precious commodity while men are a non-durable good. Look at who fought and died in wars, traditionally and who has done the most dangerous jobs in order to advance civilization. I don't agree that women should be treated poorly but it is ridiculous to keep on in this present day and age that women are 2nd hand citizens. It is not true.
@@dr.d5920 Evidence? OK - Please provide some. Links to independent and peer-reviewed studies on criminology and recidivism especially. I'd actually like to see this if you would.
Having studied many execution and tortue methods. Other than the fact it takes long, and may be mentally unsettling. This is one of the tamest execution methods I know of. Sawing, now that is a messy painful way to go.
I can imagine myself meditating my way to death throughout this form of sentence... or at least try to. It's in a way a peaceful form to go, and it's up to us to see it this way, albeit extremely difficult in reality.
Apart from - you guessed it - America. There you are sentenced to death and then die of old age waiting for legal challenges to percolate through the courts.
Humans were never meant to rule other humans, and the punishments that humans have imposed on other humans have proven to be ironically, inhumane. Someone needs to ask the question: are these punishments actually "humane" to our own detriment?
Think about the billions of people over time who have died brutal or violent deaths. War, genocide, murder, accidents, punishment… when you think about it, dying in your sleep of natural causes is a rare privilege.
I think this is why we fear concepts like the backrooms. Being isolated from everyone and everything you’ve ever known and loved. It’s a fate worse than death itself
Bad Girls did a episode like this , one of the inmates Yvonne was left traped and slowly died from suffocation and dehydration, , eventually her remains were discovered , the man who left her to die was later stabbed to death .
Both horrible too. Knowing nobody is gonna help you if anything goes wrong. Sink to the bottom of a deep ocean and get crushed by the pressure, or float away into the vastness of the galaxy and slowly die
Mur is wall in French. It took a while after reading the title to figure out what this was. Learned about it in a Edgar Poe short story at a young age. Also used in the Simpson, but was unsuccessful because Mr Burns is way too slow.
It's not too bad you're probably die from the lack of air or The Incredibles stench of people dieing and dead a foot and a half away from you. At least look at the bright side you won't be lonely.
Apparently immurement is the best possible execution method for Vestals as it's forbidden to draw their blood and they cannot be buried outside the city.
The Cask of Amontillado does come to mind buy Poe was obsessed with being buried alive. The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher. The first thing that came to my mind was when the Imhotep was turned into The Mummy and buried alive for trying to bring his Princess back from the dead.
Excatly, if people who were killed were able to do something to their killer, in living memory hundreds of Nazis would have met horrible endings due to " ghost attacks"🤔
The Oubliette was more like a really cramped cell in which it was impossible to move, lie down or get comfortable in any way. It's different from Immurement which was more about isolation and confinement but the victim was, as stated in this video, often relatively comfortable. I think this channel has a video about the oubliette. 🙂
I heard years ago of a medieval example of this where a group of people all condemned for heretical practices and blasphemy were bricked up in a room together with a small amount of food and water and a small breathing hole and then just left there to slowly starve to death. I think there were about a dozen of them though I don't recall the exact number. It was speculated that then they ran out of food they probably resorted to cannibalism likely with one final survivor dying from running out of food and water but I believe they said that this group's exact location was lost to history so know one knows for sure how they died.
Immurement was also a form of sacrifice, it's why you find babies in foundations. They believed that sealing people in the foundations of things blessed and protected them from harm.
Oh to be someone's loved one...thinking moment by moment of the torture they are going through. The only thing worse would to be said person. Horrible.

The Castillo De San Marcos in St. Augustine Florida had a similar incident that was discovered there. A small room was found in which an unknown individual was bricked in to a small room and left to die.
Thank you, I was thinking it was a small group.

One of my favorite forts. And not research. Facts are important.
More importantly to be correct.
All to many herendious things perpetuated on the indigenous population that was.
Originally on the Continent when. "Discovered ."
By Europeans.
Eggmont key. Has some brutal history.
For such a beautiful island. History. True history is important. If not. We're bound to repeat.
And there's a live entombment tale from whatever fort Edger Allen Poe served at when he was drafted. It's the inspiration for his story "The Cask of Amontillado"
I believe that was once the powder room (gunpowder that is) but it was too damp. That room is haunted.
Gotta wonder if THIS is where the phrase "skeletons in their closet" comes from!
So unbearably sad and horrific!
Edgar Allan Poe reminds us of this living nightmare. I learned a new word!
The phrase stems from an early 1800's metaphor, with no known historical reference pointing to the origin. The expression is metaphorical and can refer to any shameful secret.
Other than the starvation part, I find being separation from other humans to be quite appealing.
Then you'd better go and live on Mingulay!
That's one way to look at it. All we have is one another, and it is dangerous to seek others out. I wonder why we are so flawed. Did God intended it to be so?

Glamis (pronounced GLAMZ) Castle in Scotland has a hideous tale of immurement. The Ogilvie clan were escaping from their enemies, the Lindsays and sought sanctuary at Glamis. The Earl Strathmore was unsure whether to invite them in, lest he anger the Lindsays, of which he was on friendly terms. He decided to and the Ogilvies were led to a room in the castle and promised supper.
Years later, upon hearing violent and haunting sounds in the castle, the present Earl decided to investigate. He had the door to the chamber opened and took a step inside. He was horrified and took a moment before backing out of the room, turning the lock in the door twice and being a changed man for the remainder of his life. What he had seen was the remains of the Ogilvie family, when their host had escorted them into the chamber with promise of food and drink, he left the room, locked them in and left them to starve.
There is a grisly aspect to this story - after the Ogilvies had been immured for one month, the door was opened by the factor of the castle. What he saw was a horrific sight - the bodies of the Ogilvies were lying mutilated…and one remaining member of the family was cowering over a body, blood covering his mouth, hands and clothing, with a facial expression of horror and madness. In his desperation to survive, he had been forced to eat from the bodies of those who had starved. The door was quickly shut and the wall bricked up.
Francine tries walling up Stan in one of American Dad's funniest episodes 🤣
Best show ever!!

They got dropped in a hole & could hear people's parties! 😳
Then I heard of a castles hole (in Ireland??) The owners decided to remove the bones. It took over 100 trips!!!
But, 1skeleton had a pocket watch from 1841 on him.
That's stunningly terrifying.
Which irish castle??
@@doyler102320 Leap Castle.
That is terrifying!!!
My family built leap castle. I'm an O'Bannon and it's considered the most haunted castle in Europe. The did 3 different excavations of the dungeons( kinda looked like the pit jabba the hutt drops luke in) and one of the reasons there was so many bones is because after Cromwell came thru the castle was given to the O'Caroll clan and my clan was genocided
I remember seeing something like this at Warwick Castle, England. There was a hole in the floor about the size of a garbage can into which they stuffed the condemned and left to die all contorted. I still cringe to think of this.
That's the oubiette

This channel has one on it too...in fact, that's how i found the answer.
Indeed, the oubliette was a form of immurement.
Always great content.
Unfortunately : the most monotonous , irritating voice on
RUclips . Seems to have difficulty just reading from a script ..
The content of the video, or the content of the walls?
Human beings...the only creature capable of inflicting unimaginable intended cruelty.
The real horror is that some human beings deserve it.
@@Roypb01 Who do you suggest deserves torture like immurement?
Not mentioned is what must’ve been the horrible accumulation of human waste during the long period before the person expired, especially if food was administered along the way. Brutal.
Back then people just shit wherever they were standing. Versailles palace had to be abandoned twice because of feces accumulation. It's likely they didn't notice or care.
@@rustyjones7908 Wow!
This is perhaps the most humane form of execution. Since the human body cannot live for 7 days without water. Its basically a sentence of dying of thirst... a bit kinder than other methods
About 7 🤔
Do you have a proper perspective of what it actually means going through 7 days of slow and agonizing death?
King George 1st of England, Elector of Hanover, paused only long enough to wall up his wife before coming in great pomp to his new kingdom. She lived for sometime, but never saw daylight and was a long standing prisoner in damp, darkness and staleness of air.
Isn't immurement behind the story of the Canterville Ghost?
Yes, in the more comical Centerville Ghost movie, he was immured by his own father for being a coward. And his spirit can only find peace if one of his own blood shows true courage. Always confused me, since he died before having any children, and the story never stated his father having more kids. So, how did he have surviving bloodlines able to break the curse?
I enjoy your narration.
What part of England are you you from? You're maybe the 5th person I've heard pronounce 'skeletal' like that and I'm curious if that's specific to a particular region of England.
That’s not human speech
@@laurencerilling5873 Yes it is. He's been in some of his videos. It's a real person. Not every British accent is automatically AI. 🙄
This Bears many similarities to being changed into a dungeon and being pissed and should have bought until the level rises up high enough to drown you-sound familiar?
First heard of this method when I watched interview with the vampire. It's terrible to imagine that death
Did you write what you're reading? You're telling us a story. Read with inflection. Love the channel. Cheers from Michigan.

Great videos, but does every phrase have to end with the same inflection?
5:53 The picture of the nun at the open window is more likely that of an Anchorite rather than an immurement.
When the SS Great Britain was renovated the skeletons of a man and a boy were discovered within the hull. One can only imagine that they guided the last plate into place and
it was immediately rivetted in before they had time to get out!
Not to ruin a good story but I think this one’s a myth.
@@StumpyVandal think you are correct
This also happened with the Great Eastern. I believe it was 3 workmen who were accidentally enclosed during construction.
It's definitely a myth. And while the Great Eastern was tainted with the rumor of a "phantom riveter's" remains found sealed in the ship's hold during a 1952 remodel. the fact that the ship had undergone multiple remodels previously without any remains being found and recorded in ships logs or company maintenance inspections, lends credence to this being yet another "whale tale".
Never knew it was called this but know of the monk at Thornton Abbey at Thornton Curtis in Lincolnshire who was given this punishment for selling Abbey property he is known to haunt the gatehouse
People have stopped surprising me with their inhumane tendencies.
Agreed. I've become numb with what humans can do to others.
this gave us (uk) a song london bridge is falling down, my fair lady. the fair lady it was found when the bridge was removed was walled in a small room within the foundation, i herd she had lived a while due to the wet walls and rats. the worst thing is that the song is about the multiple rebuilding of said bridge and the possibility that each time may have resulted in this sort of barbaric sacrifice
They actually found 80 people entombed in the foundation of London Bridge.
Wow !
Where was the incident in Lincolnshire?
We can not deny....Human Race is very criative in punishment methods..
Definitely, some crazier methods coming soon!
*creative
Actually, immurement wasn't always an execution method. Sometimes, people immured in this way were fed regularly and they could last several decades in their walled up state.
Of course the Church is the prime user of this horrific method. Religion's cruelty knows no bounds.
Yes religion. So called "Christians" & yet Jesus said "love your enemies". Not torture & kill them!
A great comment from someone who is obviously more enlightened than the rest of the human race. If you would do a little bit more studying you would find out that even non-religious people use this form of punishment. But no, you haven't asked to grind. Enjoy that meaningless degree you received.
@@joejones4172 well Joe, if you were to actually crack open a Bible and read it you would find out that Jesus said he is bringing the sword. There are also some people he recommends putting a millstone about their necks and throwing into the ocean.
Of course.
@@jamesnoel5173 You’re both right. The Bible is barbaric, yet Christianity persists because “God is Love” remains the important part. His point was merely that the church, and Christianity historically, has sanctioned all matter of cruel torture and justified war.
SHOULD it?
I think religion is moronic and humanity should outgrow it, especially now that the American RW has shown it’s true Christo-Fascist colors.
Isn't the human race grand finding all the cruellest ways to torture people to death in the name of God! These holy murderous annointed clergy were truly blessed!
@VAC Drian ah, yes, the amazing Chairman Mao...what a humanitarian
ASDA in Livingston in the1980s (possibly Walmart at that time). A burglar had gained entry via the air conditioning vent but got stuck at a 90 degree bend. After a couple of weeks people were complaining about a putrid smell. A friend of mine who was an apprentice maintenance engineer went upto the air conditioning vent with his tradesman, undone some bolts only to find the bloated remains of the burglar trapped in the air conditioning shaft. Even forty years on, he is still emotionally scared (well f*cked up is the best description). So in this case crime definitely does not pay.......what a horrible death.
I remember that....
In "Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History", by Bruce Cumings Ph.D. relates that Crown Prince Sado (Yi Seon) 1735 to 1763, was confined in a rice chest, during the heat of the summer, on the orders of his father and allowed to die of dehydration & starvation. He was insane and guilty of many crimes beatings, sadism, rape & murder. Because he was of the Royal Line it would be improper to convict him of his crimes and execute him. So he was locked in the rice box and allowed to die. There is a Winkpedia entry on this under "Crown Prince Sado." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Prince_Sado
I just read that article and that was a terrifying trip!😱
The same thing happened to Elizabeth Bathory
Oh, that's what that box in The Red Sleeves was for.
There must have been a reason as to why the punished individuals didn’t just simply push the bricks down as they were being ‘bricked in’?
Seriously Daniel? Think about it for a moment. We'll wait.
They would often be chained to the rear wall
@@scientchahming5 now that makes sense! Thank you for replying with something sensible 👍🏻
Years back they were taking a wall down in Carlisle castle, and found the body of a woman with a new born baby that had been walled up. No one new who she or the child was, or that they were even there at all until the just happened to take down this wall.
Interesting...Im sure genetic testing could help solve this mystery if they wished to pursue it.
What a documentary that would make.
Wouldn't it just.
Maybe a mistress of a royal with their bastard child?
Interesting !
Just to put the record straight, I just found an article on this, from when it was found in the late 18 hundreds. It is actually an urban legend that's grown up around these bones and cloth found at the time. On further examination they were found to be animal bones and a few bits of cloth.
Seems every device thinkable, and every way of torture has been used at one time or another that man has thought of creating. Some for a few minutes, some a few hours...and some that took much longer, all resulting in death.
I love the narrator's accent. Of course, we Americans speak the most pure form of English. But I enjoy hearing the various dialects from merry, old English. I really like this channel. Thanks so much!
Surely you jest! You are wrong! The British speak English, we speak American!
What about the men who fornicated with these virgins or nuns? It takes two people but only one is being immured. That's the discrimination faced by women for hundreds of years. Thank God we are past that cruel time but still a lot needs to be done. Even today some cultures punish only the women and not the men. So unfortunate and tragic.
Historically men have suffered and will continue to suffer far more than women. For instance,wars and accidents at work. You probably won't see it that way
Libturds always find a way to politicize a topic.
@@kevindurand3237 while women are treated as less than human in certain cultures today.
@@kevindurand3237 Actually Kevin, we do see it very clearly. The one here who has the visions problems is you.
No Kevin is absolutely correct. Women have long been considered a precious commodity while men are a non-durable good. Look at who fought and died in wars, traditionally and who has done the most dangerous jobs in order to advance civilization. I don't agree that women should be treated poorly but it is ridiculous to keep on in this present day and age that women are 2nd hand citizens. It is not true.

Immurement is essentially a more dramatic form of execution by starvation. Not a fun way to go, but there are far worse ways to be killed.
Having studied many execution and tortue methods. Other than the fact it takes long, and may be mentally unsettling. This is one of the tamest execution methods I know of. Sawing, now that is a messy painful way to go.
@@theoneeyedartist3253 Definitely
I can imagine myself meditating my way to death throughout this form of sentence... or at least try to. It's in a way a peaceful form to go, and it's up to us to see it this way, albeit extremely difficult in reality.
No other creature that has ever lived, can compare to the cruelty & pleasure of watching another's death as human beings. How sad that is. 😟😢
Word says, the heart of man is desperately wicked....
Can descendants of those victims demand reparations now?.
Don't most forms of execution follow someone being sentenced to death?
Apart from - you guessed it - America. There you are sentenced to death and then die of old age waiting for legal challenges to percolate through the courts.
@@owenrichards1418 So... They get sentenced to death, then they die?
Humans were never meant to rule other humans, and the punishments that humans have imposed on other humans have proven to be ironically, inhumane. Someone needs to ask the question: are these punishments actually "humane" to our own detriment?
Think about the billions of people over time who have died brutal or violent deaths. War, genocide, murder, accidents, punishment… when you think about it, dying in your sleep of natural causes is a rare privilege.
I think this is why we fear concepts like the backrooms. Being isolated from everyone and everything you’ve ever known and loved. It’s a fate worse than death itself
Every video you have is "history's most brutal"
Bad Girls did a episode like this , one of the inmates Yvonne was left traped and slowly died from suffocation and dehydration, , eventually her remains were discovered , the man who left her to die was later stabbed to death .
Sounds like going to sea on a submarine. Knowing at any time you could end up in this perdictament
Either that or being cramped on a spaceship
Both horrible too. Knowing nobody is gonna help you if anything goes wrong. Sink to the bottom of a deep ocean and get crushed by the pressure, or float away into the vastness of the galaxy and slowly die
Mur is wall in French. It took a while after reading the title to figure out what this was. Learned about it in a Edgar Poe short story at a young age. Also used in the Simpson, but was unsuccessful because Mr Burns is way too slow.

Oooh this one is one of the worst i think, being stuck in a small place, alone, for possibly days before you die 😢
It's not too bad you're probably die from the lack of air or The Incredibles stench of people dieing and dead a foot and a half away from you. At least look at the bright side you won't be lonely.
My grandfather his brother witnessed immurement at Breendonk concentration camp. According to him there are still people inside the walls.
😩
@@edp3202 I share the feeling
That's so awful 😖
Oh that is just awful.🙏
I’ve always known this as being walled up
I can think of many worse ways to go
Apparently immurement is the best possible execution method for Vestals as it's forbidden to draw their blood and they cannot be buried outside the city.
What a horrific way to go to be basically buried alive
Similar to what they are doing to poor Robert Maudsley today.
Reminds me, Interview with the Vampire, of Brad Pitt (Louis de Pointe du Lac), being walled up by the other vampires in the coven.
No running water or plumbing, they could not wash, and had to sit in their own excrement (not mentioned in the video), don’t you think?
The Cask of Amontillado does come to mind buy Poe was obsessed with being buried alive. The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher. The first thing that came to my mind was when the Imhotep was turned into The Mummy and buried alive for trying to bring his Princess back from the dead.
Either ghosts don't exist or they can't hurt you. Because these people would have come back with a world of hurt for their persecutors.
Excatly, if people who were killed were able to do something to their killer, in living memory hundreds of Nazis would have met horrible endings due to " ghost attacks"🤔
@@brianiswrong Maybe spontaneous combustion, sudden heart attacks, unexplained accidents, and unexplained deaths are caused by vengeful spirits?
This was done on an episode of Thriller in the mid 70s when i was about 10. I struggled to watch Match of the day after seeing that.
I think the French called the enclosure an oubliette. Like a deep well.
You think wrong .
The Oubliette was more like a really cramped cell in which it was impossible to move, lie down or get comfortable in any way. It's different from Immurement which was more about isolation and confinement but the victim was, as stated in this video, often relatively comfortable. I think this channel has a video about the oubliette. 🙂
How do the people relieve themselves in such cramped spaces? To they urinate and defecate in the same small area where food is also delivered to them?
Never Heard of it Before? Sound's totally Cruel n Barbaric. As if the Judges, had no Remorse, or Compassion, whatsoever For the accused.
Edgar Allen Poe also had this in one of his dark macabre tales.

@@duncanjames9477 Yes!
@@duncanjames9477 The Black Cat too
I heard years ago of a medieval example of this where a group of people all condemned for heretical practices and blasphemy were bricked up in a room together with a small amount of food and water and a small breathing hole and then just left there to slowly starve to death. I think there were about a dozen of them though I don't recall the exact number. It was speculated that then they ran out of food they probably resorted to cannibalism likely with one final survivor dying from running out of food and water but I believe they said that this group's exact location was lost to history so know one knows for sure how they died.
the last one probably regretted being the last one when living with the smell of a bunch of dead bodies

"immurement was incredibly disturbing"
Quite so.
There was also a version where the victim was kept alive...
Immurement was also a form of sacrifice, it's why you find babies in foundations. They believed that sealing people in the foundations of things blessed and protected them from harm.
Odd title for this 'channel'.
