    This gentleman is a wonderful story teller, I enjoy listening to his voice
  • @AAMARTCLUB
    You cannot imagine the effect of listening to your beautiful voice has on my health: physical and mental. I live for my family and my garden, but illness has isolated me from much company. You make the day so much more interesting! Thank you Sir!
  • @BennyM_
    The lack on conscience in some people stuns me. I enjoy your narration, thank you!
  • I want to take a moment and extend hearty thanks to you for bringing us such informative videos. I discovered your channel about a year ago and have binged every episode. Also, my husband commented on how stylish you are and how professional your voice is. You are a very debonair gentleman! Thank you, again, for your amazing channel!

    My mom took me to see Arsenic and Old Lace at Drurylane theater. I was 8 and was given no info on the play. I just kept thinking the old ladies were geniuses! Was clueless poisoning was so trendy back in the day!
  • Oh wow--"impecunious" is a word i haven't heard in a long time. There are so many things i love about this channel, and your phrasing/vocabulary choices are definitely part of that.
  • My friend, you are one of the elite, the bold and the knowledgeable, thank you for what you do.
  • @MrsABC7997
    I know that arsenic was heavily used in the color green in that time. Anything colored green, books, clothes, wallpapers. However, if there was enough "green" items around to kill all of those people around her, how exactly did she survive??? She totally did it!

    I’m worried about myself because I enjoy your channel so much. My hubby gets nervous when I tell him about some of these arsenic stories. He’s starting to smell his coffee before drinking it 😂😊. Thank you?
  • @resarm5007
    Just found your channel this week, Paul. Appreciate your unique way of presenting these stories. I find myself relaxing to them as I wind down and go to sleep...and then I'll have to rewatch to get the entire story if I nod off 😊
  • @secondchairmusic
    I'm gonna need about....100 more of these compilations! I can't get enough!
  • @ladydar69pluto76
    Awe the good ol' days.........when you didn't have to divorce em, you just had make their favorite dish, and then drop em in the back yard, under some rose bushes. And better still, afterwards, make a few bucks for your trouble! Bahahahaha :) lol JK ;)

    Mr. Brodie, I would like to make another video request if you please. I recently read about the murder of the actor William Terris by fellow actor Richard Prince, who was jealous of him. It happened in the 19th century. It's quite an interesting story. I have not found any good videos about the story and I think you would tell it to perfection. I hope you like this idea I love your channel. Much love from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️
  • @delilahhart4398
    I think that Mary Blandy was as much a victim as anyone. She didn't intend to kill her father.
  • @joeanderson8839
    I don't believe that Madeline Smith killed Emile. I believe Emile killed himself with arsenic to get revenge on her for breaking his heart.
  • @Liz-re3ek
    Yay!!! I’m soooo happy!!! A new episode!! Thank you so much, Paul! You have no idea how much people enjoy you!! 👍💜
  • @claires8735
    I'm sure Mary Ann Cotton was just unlucky. Very, very unlucky. All the time. Wherever she went. 😂😂😂
  • Mary Ann Cotton is one of the most interesting and loved the series Dark Angel about her, although in real life she wasn't anywhere near as beautiful as the actress who played her

    The woman in the first story, we had one of those in my city as well during the 1880's. Her name was Maria Catherina Swanenburg (born 09-09-1839, died 11-04-1915). She was initially viewed as a good samaritan (her nickname was "Goeie Mie" which roughly translates to "Mie the Good") because she took care of the elderly and the sick. It was established that she poisoned at least 102 people. 27 of her victims died, however there were 90 suspicious deaths related to the investigation. 45 of the survivors suffered chronic health issues after they were poisoned. Her motive was to collect health insurence payouts. In December of 1883 she was apprehended and on the 23rd of April 1885 she was convicted with 3 counts of murder and was sentenced to life in prison where she died in 1915. #Wellinever
