Sleep paralysis is a well known, normal but disturbing, sleep phenomenon. The body is asleep while the mind is awake. And it causes the sense of horror we have blamed on "evil" for as long as we've been here. Usually a sense that an evil presence is menacing us.

Sleep paralysis could reasonably explain some of what is described here, but *plenty* of this can't be explained through sleep paralysis alone, because she was wide awake. I suspect she likely had some kind of mental illness.

She had a history of self harm (a belt so tight her skin grew over it) and lived in extremely stressful times. Of course we can’t say for sure as there’s no proof regarding the existence or non-existence of god(a) but it really seems like she made a schizophrenic disorder.

This sounds like a poor woman who suffered from Schizophrenia lacking not only the care needed to live a normal life but abused by religious beliefs that likely did nothing but reinforce the delusions and hallucinations.
Made up because what the hell else are you gonna do when your life is selling thatch and being poor. I think she was schizo because these stories of demons line up with schizophrenia a bit too well.
@@iii___iii Demons who are invisible and whose powers are identical to schizophrenic hallucinations, or cause minor accidents like spilled cups or candles blowing out which could absolutely not just be wind.
@1:54 you say "... Her grief..." But you never said why she would have been grieving. I went back three times. What grief? Did her husband pass? Did she lose a child? Were they financially ruined? You never say.
Is something missing? You said she collected straw, then you mention her grief, from what? Demonic possession, when did that start? I think you missed a line or two.
As the story in this video unfolded, couldn't help but pity this poor woman who was obviously severely mentally ill. Glad our collective knowledge concerning mental wellness is coming around in our generation, to remove any stigma attached and encouraging all to seek help. It's okay not to feel okay. We don't judge those with, say, diabetes or dyslexia, so why degrade those who see the world differently because of trauma, brain chemistry, or a host of other reasons. Who knows- maybe one day, science will concretely prove the existence of other dimensions, and the concept of a "demon attack" won't sound so crazy and out-there.
I appreciate you telling the story from her point of view, and not talking down to the listener about religious belief. She sounds like she was a very sincere woman. Sometimes when I walk through downtown Philadelphia I feel like I'm in the middle ages. It has become a madhouse. I believe a return to the middle ages may be just around the corner. Things are getting weirder and weirder. Authorities seem to have lost control of our municipality.

Sounds like her thatch roof became moldy .. Hence all the hallucinations.. This didn't happen till she moved using muddy thatch would just cause a lot of spores and can cause ordeals of dreamlike vividness. She also isn't far from a swamp so a good chance there is methane as well in the air causing memory issues.
When I read the books before the first movie came out, I thought she pronounced her name "Herman" and I was like "No wonder she's getting bullied by Ron"
delusion is responsible for 100% of all religion. if i were hearing this womans tales, id ask her to show me the injuries on her back. they always forget the back
Actually «Reims» is pronounced essentially like the word «Rinse». This is a pretty disparity between spelling and prononciation, even for French, but alas it is true
We are just ignoring the fact that her name means "stoat" in its winter coloration? I think you have a good sense of humor, or I wouldn't point this out.
4:28 when I was a teenager, the house we lived in was very haunted by evil spirits and for whatever reason, they focused on me and did their best to drive me nuts every night. Amazingly after several months, I heard a pleasant voice telling me that it would not go on much longer. And it didn’t, at least not every night nor to that degree. At 4:28, when the narrator said the French lady heard the exact same sentence, I was stunned! Can’t help but wonder if it was the same good spirit that spoke those same words to me.
@@Acr6gAttt-mq2hr As you like, I used to think the same til finding out the hard way and very much first handedly. I can assure you they very much do exist.
The entity...with Barbara hershey based on the book, supposedly true. I was young, movie was pretty jaded for back then lol. I don't believe in demkns etc but was a creepy are movie
Just what I was thinking. This sounds like a really bad case of schizophrenia. Especially when the demons are telling her she’s going to die or that they’ll kill her a lot. Regardless of what it is, it’s wholesome to hear that she remained charitable until her death throughout all of her experiences.

Ok started watching at 666 views, hopefully not a sign. Great video as always.
Your process of trying to pronounce 'Ermine' is like the exact opposite of my first attempt at 'Hermione'.
When I read the books before the first movie came out, I thought she pronounced her name "Herman" and I was like "No wonder she's getting bullied by Ron"
There is a book on this, very similar title. The book cover is the same as the video thumbnail. Easy to find, too bad it wasn’t cited.
That stock footage of the skin peeling hand holding the half loaf of bread in the wheat field is oddly unsettling... just saying
"Errmeenn de Renss"
(you don t say the M in " Reims")..
Incredible! me ,french, i do watch your channel to learn something about french history!!
Today she simply would make Videos on TikTok. :)
The toad visual made me choke on my dinner. I was NOT expecting that lmaooooooo
6:30wow you don't even need demons to act out scenes like that anymore. You can just Google a simple word and there it is
I'm so glad I can always use drugs as an excuse.🥴
She Suffered terribly!💔
2 hours later..... I’m dying 🤣nice touch
I have weird dreams, had sleep paralysis a few nights ago and thought I was getting bummed 😭
There's no way a medieval woman would walk around with her shoulders showing like that!!
If this woman had the BFG 9000 she wouldn’t have had any of these problems.
"a lion that roard the whole night " Oh boy the poor woman really had it bad
She probably lived near a CSX or Norfolk Southern marshaling yard where up to 20 locomotives are idling at any given time. LOL.
Sounds like a cover-up for some serious domestic violence tbh
I think her husband died though.
Her story points out symptoms related to Schizophrenia.
delusion is responsible for 100% of all religion. if i were hearing this womans tales, id ask her to show me the injuries on her back. they always forget the back
This mess here, along with the still insane beliefs of the modern church, is what makes me resent religion.
Try this: Ehrmeen de Reyms. That's the correct pronounciation. Props for actually trying your best! 😀🙌
Schizophrenia, aggravated by stress and fear. Or maybe she ate bread made with grain that was contaminated by ergot, which could cause such symptoms.
An ermine is a type of weasel a lot like a mink and part of the mustelid family which includes otters like Kotaro and Hana.
Maybe. . . . she wasn't making any of this up.
the monks and nuns pranked her so hard
This sounds too much like those incubus and succubus encounters you may have heard about.
Brb, going to pour holy water one the frogs and toads down at the pond, the devil will not trick me again!
Actually «Reims» is pronounced essentially like the word «Rinse». This is a pretty disparity between spelling and prononciation, even for French, but alas it is true
I like the part , where toad from Mario was biting her. Guess she was stealing the Stars for bowser.
Are these stories actually real? Like there's actual proof?
Could this possibly be the result of ergot poisoning?
Ergot poisoning in a city should affect a whole group of people not just one person
Reims in french is pronounced like the verb "rince" (to rinse)
Blame the bears! 😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
