My Apologies for the lateness of this upload, but for if you didn't see the post I made I lost all internet for the past 36 hours but I hope you enjoy it now.
No need to apologise, dude. Not only is video production not easy, but you have a life as well and stuff happens.
You're giving us FREE high quality content and you have clearly worked your chops off on the channel this month. You deserve a lot of tea and cake 🍰☕
You need to sacrifice a computer to the internet gods. Fortunately you can sacrifice an old Dell laptop and the results will be the same. Good luck.
Still enjoy your uploads thank you! X
I love you're work, though I'm from Galway Ireland and live in New York, I love local history.I love your research and history!!!!! I look forward to more of your videos!!!😺😺😺❤️
This was exelĺent..well done!
I live about 10 miles from Manningtree. I went past the Pub he is meant to haunt. I intend to have a drink in there some time soon
. . . certainly a sadistic man. Psychopath? Possibly. Still, I have no doubt that it was fueled by a love of power and being glorified.
That's Vronsky's point in his last book about psychopaths, Sons of Cain. That most of these inquisitors were what we'd call today psychopaths.
And that is why some of the pilgrims went to go live with the quakers. Those puritans were CRAZY.
Best line in the film Witchfinder General was "I do the pricking ...." What more can I say
Superb storytelling! Thank you.
This is an excellent video. It sums up so cogently and clearly the background and the specifics of the Why East Anglia...which academics write papers about to this day.
What a superb video. Even the connections with the New England witch madness are mentioned.
Hiya! What a treat 😃 xx
I think you might be charitable to suggest that Hopkins genuinely believed in what he was doing, he seems to have made a small fortune (in those days) for his "work" . He might have just been an opportunist taking advantage of circumstances at a terrible cost to those innocent victims.
This is my my 4th maybe 5th grandad. Nice to learn some family history. No matter how weird 😕
Another great presentation and greatly enjoyed. Thank you sir.
Great presentation mate. I really enjoyed it..
An excellent end to the Halloween season! Here in the U.S. Halloween blends into the Day of the Dead which is today and then November 5 is Guy Hawks, so for me the party continues. Thank you for your continued dedication to history.
Yayy another video! I live in Norwich love your videos
Oh! So this is what happened to that monster. I’d heard he had simply vanished.
Good stuff!
I truly found all of the spooky uploads you did this month enjoyable and interesting! :)
Excellent as always. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the spooky stuff, really enjoyed it!
Darn! I liked the idea of Hopkins being treated with his own medicine.
This did the water test for everyone! Not just for witches!
This is very well researched. Good video!
Thank you 💞 love your channel
I read in the past, that he was hanged as a witch. Your story puts a difference complexion on that. I'd forgot he was still so young when he died, he must have been very charismatic in life.
I remember seeing something on Blue Peter when I was young saying that's how he died as well, I guess the truth and fiction are often confused with him.
I remember learning about him. I think he was partly a misogynist as the vast number of cases were against women. I thought had a chair device for testing people in water to see if the drowned or not. Another great presentation with great illustrations. I love the earlier black ink drawings.
I believe there was many different ways it was done over the centuries.
Apparently he stayed in the village of worle, somerset. The vallient soldier inn.
Great work!
Delightfully done! Another tale delivered with panache and irony. I hope you have a wonderful new year planned for yourself and your loved ones. Your stories online have been greatly missed.
Thanks dude
Great videos. Keep them up!!!
What an evil man he was. Making himself a very good living out of those unlawful killings! I was shocked at his age because I didn't realise he was so young!
I know I always pictured him as far older as well I guess that what happens when he is most seen as Vincent Price in the film.
He should have been brought before the magistrates in the shire in which he dwelt.
I think Hopkins was a witch and this was the covens way to make people believe there was no witches.
Interesting 🤔
You might want to seek a therapist, Mike
Witches are from Suffolk.🔰
Narcissism, power and religious fanaticism at their worst.
Far more evil than anyone he persecuted...
I would honestly consider him among the biggest evils the country has ever seen.
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
We could be doing with such a position nowadays.
This is what it looks like when Hufflepuffs go bad.
I have two vestigial nipples. Barely visible. If i were born in the early 17th century id be a goner.
I hope the murderious people killer is burning in hell for what he did.
He Was Gay!!!
