ObsoleteOddity loved it. it's better than prime time TV. You have a talent in putting these videos together and yes, I'm very happy that you started reading it to us. You have a wonderful voice and I always listen to UA-cam with my eyes closed when I've time to listen. So now? that you're treating us with a read aloud? I won't be missing any of your videos. thx.
This is quite a story. I often hear people say that the world is getting worse as people become more cruel and care less, but after watching this film, I'm convinced the world has always been horrible but the difference is that we hear about it more often now through the media.
Not only was the past not better than it is today, newspapers - believe it or not - are less sensational now than they were pre-WWII. Can you imagine them publishing photos today of murdered corpses as they did here and in many other cases? "The past was way classier" my eye. People who say that are either brainwashed by Hollywood films or are just editing out all the bad stuff.
I like that there’s written text *and* voiceover, so I can choose how I enjoy the video. Voiceover is calm, yet not boring. You convinced me, I’ll subscribe.
@@theraven6843 Scaring with what? Truth? Oh yes, truth is scarier then fiction. Where I live lots of children never appeared to onlineclasses. No one knows what was going on with them for last half a year. And no one can do anything about it Why? Because here you can't report suspecting the crime to police. You need a smallest piece of evidence. Not going to online classes means the child is lazy. It's not a crime. So schools couldn't do a thing.
Anja B I WAS FILLED WITH HORROR! I AM A VICTIM MYSELVES. DIDN’T YOU GET IT! I’m 65 and hate to talk about it still. Do you UNDERSTAND NOW!!why I am scared?
@@theraven6843 Firstly; no, not really. Secondly; it happens everywhere to so many people. There is more victims than you might think. And there is no one to help them. That's scary!
Anja B As if I didn’t know. You did’nt understand a word I said! I spoke with lots of victims during my therapy. Stop learning me some lessons regarding this ‘subject’!!!!!!!!!
yeah. as a young child my mom abused me, but not as harsh as some people have gone through. my dad had to divorce her and he gained custody of me, so now i live with my dad and step-dad. even now i struggle with the idea of affection and love because my mom never showed me any, and my dad was often busy.
@@therapy1442 no matter how harsh ,abuse is abuse. I'm sorry you had to go through that! If you were my little child I would have given you the love you deserved! Never blame yourself. Have a wonderful life!!!❤️❤️❤️
A while ago I watched an "official" french documentary about this case - it was twice as long as this video and contained possibly less than a half of the facts you provided. Thank you so very much for the thorough research and effort you put in making your videos!
Nobody can imagine the consequences of children brought up with no love at all. I saw it almost everyday when I was teaching in a prison. For a child, love is as necessary as oxygen.
Suzanne Frances Twenty five years ago I spent a few months being homeless with three toddlers. I lived in a run down motel where my husband and one other person actually had jobs. My husband and I did not drink or do drugs but every one else did. I learned from that experience that there is only one thing that children truly want in life and that is to know that their parents love them. We made sure our children heard us say I love you at least once a day!
That's a relatively recent idea. Up until the 1930's and Jean Piagets work - children were thought of and treated like mini-adults. Also, per the CDC, in the late 19th and early 20th century, as many as 30% of all children died in thier first year, so emotional attachment was a bit frowned upon.
I have no idea how I ended up here. I certainly wasn't looking for this story or anything like it. But I'm so glad because it was truly intriguing and I've long been looking for a good story teller. Thank you!
@@InkwellCat Especially back then. Any sexual encounter was always the woman's fault, no matter how forceful the rape was. This was the belief until very recently.
Same here. I just got here and I'm looking around wondering how do I get out of this dungeon. Unfortunately, the story telling hooked me and I'm still here.
I think it's generally a learned familial trait that gets passed on no matter how hard you try to disregard your own upbringing. Someone was bad to their mother, too... and someone was bad to that person.... and so on and so on. You pass down what you learn. #1 reason i DIDN'T have kids. I LOVED my unborn children, & they didn't deserve to go through the horror & EXTREME beatings that i grew up with, and my folks before me(although in our day, having your hide skinned off by your parents was acceptable- but mine went beyond that) & my family would have treated my children badly, and that just MAY have made me murderous. I LOVED my family. Even if I didn't have one. Folks, when you hit that point of "it's gotta stop.." remove YOURSELF, not the child. A child HAS nowhere else to go. Lol, it WAS too funny seeing doctors/'therapists' suggest that it might just partially be my mom's fault- she blew a gasket in their office at the mere suggestion.- & those 2 docs looked at me in wide-eyed shock & helpless horror FOR me, jaws hanging OPEN. I'll never forget the look on their faces... I forgave myself that day. (My "problem" (their problem) was that I had withdrawn from all social pretenses & avoided any contact with any human. They're just too They couldn't help me if she wasn't going to let them. I just had to find a way out on my own(she was quite the queen of motives, lies, denial & "outward appearances." Even teachers suggested to me that "You don't have to live like this." But yes- when you're a teen in a small town, you're considered nothing but drama and no substance..there WAS NO HELP but to hit the old railroad tracks out of town & not look back at 14 yrs old. I got really lucky. Got out of that town and all of the sudden found out that there were people who WOULD help!) Don't give up. Don't become what you hate. It's too easy to fall prey to your own human nature. We must evolve. It's harder.
Sounds like these girls just had enough of being treated with contempt, disrespect and abuse, and just snapped. Long term abuse can push you into changing who you are & doing things you’d never otherwise do 😥
@@billybreathes8088 Lol. Yeah. I doubt there are many psychologists or psychiatrists who would have employed them. They have all the talk, but let them put their own eyes and lives on the line and suddenly their opinions would change.
@Isabel Livieva - We can't throw a blanket statement over all cases. Some ppl can eat peanuts, some people nearly die from them. Same thing, different reaction. Clearly, the long term abuse, neglect and cruelty these girls endured turned them around so far.. it appears the constant put downs, yelling and condescending treatment on a day to day basis drove them way over the line, as it would! Long term abuse since childhood can do horrible things to people, re-wire their brains, lose their sanity.. These girls tried to make it, they tried. They worked, they did the right thing.. seemingly doing well.. only for their place of comfort turned into a living hell. How much more 'evidence' do you need...
@Isabel Livieva You clearly don't see that for all their life, they were victims. Free to leave and do what?? How do they survive?Where do they go? It's not that cut n dry. And we aren't comparing rapists and serial killers to these girls. They snapped. They didn't go around killing and raping people. They didn't just have a 'bad childhood', they had a bad life. Clearly you are so far removed from any understanding or perception of what this is like or the psychological and behavioural effects long term abuse has. While I haven't suffered what these girls went through, I know first hand the long term affects of mental and physical abuse. And Yes, these deaths are still horrendous and tragic, not taking that away, nor did they deserve to be murdered like that.. But we must understand WHY.
This is why I keep coming bk and donate hes my PBS kids have to keep him around. In 2020 quarantine and all I love this channel I'm bending it today just want to leave a comment KeepSafe blessings and love.
YEAH QUITE RIGHT BOUT THT SIR, AND THE MELANCHOLIC PIANO CHORDS JUST AMPLIFY THE CREEPYNESS OF THIS VIDEO, ITS LIKE BEING DRAGGED INTO THE VICTORIAN PERIOD! GREAT STUFF
Wow really sad that she was punished for her father being a sick man! The mother expected to use these young girls as a meal ticket. After turning her back on them, she had no right to ask anything of them after they were grown. I'm very sure this contributed to the sisters "personalities" or issues. 🖤 Really breaks my heart to hear stories about those who never really had a chance from the beginning. So sad!
I am severely disappointed with their parents for abusing/neglecting them and using them for money after everything she put the girls through, like who has the right to do such a horrible thing
Runs threw the family I was on drugs not ashamed but I ask for help got seven yrs I have cravings my fat ass neighbor just left out of here early this morning their was a dope boy in front of my door not cool I dont like to feel like some one watching me I was fine being bye myself and my bitch
@@ObsoleteOddity I love your tone voice too, perfect for these kind of freakin'stories !! ;-)).... and you are all apologized regarding french'accent lol.... it's a very-not-easy language !.... so it is vice-versa... but it could be very funny though hahah !... Thank you for your very good job from Québec ✌️👍
I have absolutely no idea how .. I stumbled upon this story and video? However I was with no doubt Taken by all of it .You have thee most intriguing voice and Talent in story telling Justice was served alone by the way it was told , the wonderful old photographs was a bonding plus! I truly wouldn’t have it any other way .Never in my lifetime have I payed so much Undivided attention to anything like I have listening to this story ..Finding myself truly lost within .. Dear sir I might not know how I stumbled upon it ? but with no doubt will be a fan of yours forever . Your ability to tell that story yet be so humbling about any mistake in pronunciation at the end jus made me smile more .. We lack so much in literature and old fashion story telling it’s so hard to keep the interest of a trillion troubled minds I seem to have forgotten about my own jus listening.. You are a rarity in old fashion forgotten story telling and wish you nothing but continued success .. Never stop or change a thing .. tough world out there no matter what century or world we find ourselves in ... Remarkably Done .. Thank you For the escape.. Stay Safe🤗
@@citytyme Thank you so much for reaching out with your lovely message. I'm very touched that my videos have had such a positive effect on you. Such wonderful feedback makes the time and effort well worthwhile. Bless you for that Best regards Oddie
God bless you, Monica...I can tell you don't let your disability get the best of you...you go, girl!!! I had a best friend in Jr high school who was blind and she didn't stop for anything...unless you knew her personally, one would have never known she was blind...Lee did everything and didn't let her disability slow her down for one minute...I also used to babysit for a neighbor who was going blind since she was a teen (got a very bad virus that settled in her eyes) and she slowly went blind (could see only faint shadows)...never slowed Ellie down either...drove until she absolutely had to give it up, worked at a national laboratory and had, like, size 124 font on her computer so she could work (our employer went out of their way for people w/disabilities) and always had her beloved dog at her side...her dogs throughout her life allowed her to do whatever Ellie wanted to do...sadly, Ellie passed away last year in her early '80s and her beloved dog was right there w/all of us, celebrating her life...so, Monica, YOU GO, GIRL, and HAVE A WONDERFUL FULFILLING LIFE!!!🎇💝🎆
Hi Monica. Me too. I've been losing my sight over the past decade and although I can still see through a window in my left eye it is very difficult to read and comprehend quickly. Although I am fortunate to have a lot of AI that converts written text into audible it is so refreshing to just click a video that tells the story with narration completely. The medical field is advancing quickly so maybe help is just around the corner. Cheers Love
I can't read it fast enough and my eyes are fine (I've got my own health issues). Whatever doesn't kill us is still a huge pain in the ass. But I agree the narration is great, and I'm glad we both found this channel.
It's so sad to me that somebody could really accuse their 10-year-old child (CHILD!) of *seducing* a grown man, let alone their own father. She was just looking for a reason to leave her kids.
In that time, it was their belief still that wickedness was always the female's fault - age notwithstanding. Stupid, but so are a lot of beliefs still today.
Oh not to mention at the time while age of consent was established, it was more to "protect virginity" and a man can marry a girl of any age and whatever he did was legal because the wife was the husbands property.
And then of course the girls had an odd idea about love, family and sexuality. With what their dad did to them, how were they supposed to have normal boundaries.
@@constanceleah118 The girls were sent to the Sisters of the Good Shepherd who were founded in France to rehabilitate wayward girls, and women. To teach them some sort trade like lace making, sewing ,etc.so they wouldn't go back to criminal activity etc. Was terrible what they did to their employers.
I am interested to know what happened to the 3rd sister, Emilie, I presume she remained a nun at the convent? Probably a good idea, saved herself from further insanity. Very chilling what happened, and how dangerous child abuse can be, in the mind of that child who then becomes an adult.
Emilia Papin: Was the eldest of the Papin Sisters and the first to leave from the abuse of unsuitable parents. Joined the Convent and became a nunn where she excelled and spent the rest of her days. Day of Birth Unknown Day of Death Unknown..Rip. Christine Papin: Was sentenced to Death by guillotine which was reduced to being sentenced to the State Mental hospital.. Passed of a complete breakdown of body and Mind.. Christine's last words The Lords Prayer..March 8.1905 @ 3:00am to May 18. 1937..RIP. Le'a Papin was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and hard labor. After Le'a imprisonment She was forced to take the assumed name of Mary and took the occupation of hotel Maiden. Accepted soul responsibility of their Mother Clemence until her Passing.. Unknown. Later Le'a Papin lived and Passed away in a hospice center..Born: September 15. 1911- July 24. 2001..RIP.
I think the addition of pictures to the story enhances the story immensely and they do seem to fit the narrative. I find myself being amazed because they are such a perfect match to the story.
Downhomesunset no please don't say that these old pictures and film is a window left open to the horrors of the past must keep window closed damn it they can come now until daylight but is long time and I'm scared horrific stuff is coming it's evil and suffering
Yes and no. I am slowly taking back my life and just recently, with some help, started to understand why I did a lot of the things I did growing up and into adulthood. I was lucky enough to have the right help at the right time, and understand that my mother had her own demons. I actually forgive her, not for her sake, but for mine. It's been like lifting a ton of bricks off my chest!! I did not deserve to be treated the way I was and cannot go back and change it. I can only go forward with my new knowledge and inner strength, and determination. I also hope to help others who have had similar experiences. I think it's horrible to not have a mother's love, and I would never excuse it, but I don't think it will absolutely dictate a person's future. However, you're mostly right, because it CAN completely ruin some people, so, Idk? Sorry for rambling. And, bottom line, I mostly agree. Lol. :)
Those girls had a pretty deadly attachment disorder. They probably had no empathy for anyone but one another, and knew they could only trust one another. This is a really extreme case of the damage abandonment and abuse can cause. So sorry fir all involved.
Christine and Le'a Papin experienced shared personality disorder or madness in pairs. I believe that it had been noted elsewhere that Christine did suffer Schizophrenia and Le'a Severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.. served 10 yr. Prison sentence Christine eventually passed from a complete breakdown of body and mind. Christine Papin Born. March 8, 1905 - 18, May 1937. Le'a Papin Born September 15, 1911 Supposed passing July 24, 2001.
@@AzazelBisek Wow! Thanks for the information. That’s so tragic. I hope Le’a had some joy in her long life. It doesn’t seem like there was any hope for that for Christine.
How utterly tragic. You did a wonderful job with this story, both giving a factual account of what happened and in evoking sympathy for the horrible damage that abuse left behind in those sisters even years after the fact. Another great video!
My mother and aunt had a life like this sent to a farm where they worked for years then sent out to a factory then finally found husbands and mom had me, then life really turned out bad...
No offence but you obviously dont know french, but I heard worse, so overall you get away with it because its normal to mispronouce when you are not familiar. It may help that some translating sites offer pronouciation help. French isnt an easy language to master, but I liked the voice, the slow narration that made the even wrongly pronouciation still understadable.
@@ObsoleteOddity I found your apology most gracious even tho it is perfectly common for everyone to struggle with correct pronunciation of a foreign language, yes, even the French!
So, Emilia, that was victimized by their dad, actually got to remain a nun, and escaped the nightmare of that horrendous family? At least, that's good to know. ♡
OneOfTheMasses * if you knew what happend to nuns in those days or to illegitimate kids in those days... there are TONS of documentaries on youtube about it. look up "800 babies found in a septic tank in Ireland". They worked children to death, starved & threw away babies, raped by priests. Horrific. www.google.com/amp/s/www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/order-nuns-dumped-up-800-9979348.amp
This video has been following me around UA-cam and I've been avoiding it because it looked so creepy but I'm glad I finally watched. I'm definitely subscribing.
Whether 100 years ago or present day bad mothers, broken distrubed families; create sick human beings. This horrendous process continues and the unfortunate to be born unwanted suffers a difficult life and in turn directs that into society. They link mental illness to these women but I must say their home life was unimaginable. A very sick mother will not produce as in caring love and nurture, sane children. Excellent video. You do this wonderfully. TY.
Because it didn't really affect the girl. She was the one who lived as a nun remember. Not saying it was at all nice but the younger girls was all the mothers fault.
RenegadeTimes We only know of the rape of the oldest sister. Abusers like that don't stop with one. I seriously doubt only the one daughter was sexually abused.
Well their upbringing is all mental health related and they didn't say in the video but I'm sure their home life brought PTSD, anxiety, depression and or other mental disorders.
It's amazing how people so easily place the mother as the home for any and everything when it comes to children. It shows how little men and fathers are considered or even held responsible when it comes to FAMILY. The men in the lives of these women dedniywlybplaywd a huge part in their demise , yet most of these comments don't speak on that. What about BAD FATHERS..? You glossed over that and just labeled it as broken disturbed family..... that's just crazy to me. Men are always behind serious evil.... remember that.
+Fran Connorton Thank you!! So many people here are forgetting that the girl who was raped was the ONLY one who turned out "all right" in the end. Imagine if her sister were able to join the order. This whole situation would not have happened.
Abused as children with parents that are absolutely worthless then having their mother make their decisions for them......No wonder they turned out the way they did. Sad but great story Oddie
this story shows how a dark, terrible evil can lurk and fester in the depths of people's minds and souls, possibly unknown even to the person who harbors it.
Vol de Mort: i disagree. when serial killers are caught, neighbors always say: "i never suspected him to be like that! he was always quiet but friendly, kept to himself, but nice, helpful." john wayne gacy helped entertain as a clown at kid's parties. evil does not always have a particular face.
Karpov Liam: your reasoning is what's wrong with today's society. nobody wants to take accountability for their actions or misdeeds. it's easier to blame your ills on being victimized. yes they had a shitty upbringing, but that doesn't justify brutally murdering people.

The story of the two girls became a famous play titled The Maids by Jean Genet, a french playwright. I played the Madame in an American rendition of the play. It was a really fun role and a creepy and haunting play. This was a great retelling of the real story. Bravo 👏
What a sad story. These girls' abusive upbringing obviously had horrible psychological consequences. I hope they're together and at peace now, wherever they are.
@@lesjohn534 Me, too. Hopefully they're all at peace, both the girls and their victims, because this was a case where the perpetrators of violence were victims as well. No, of course their traumatic upbringing doesn't excuse their behavior, but it certainly explains it and points to that, had they grown up differently, they most likely wouldn't have done what they did.
@@missmargmillionaire6421there is such thing As snapping you know. Having repeated abuse and psychological problems is absolutely an “excuse” for murder. Especially if the people being murdered are the main cause for such mental breakdowns. Those house owner’s would’ve ruined their reputation and They would’ve never been hired again. To be left on the streets after all they went through would definitely cause them to snap.
Your French pronunciation was impeccable, to be honest. To think that we now have medicine and modern therapeutic modalities that may have helped these poor ladies and saved the two lives they took.
well it would be nice to think that the meds work but for the most part they dont and when they fall shot is when people stop taking them fall back into habitsand things fall apart . then you have Roseanne wich fell back a few decadesand got shock therapyand now owns and runs a nut farm literally lol. modern is not always functional.
BellRain Chan He tells their ages at the beginning. There were several years between the three sisters: Emilia, Christine, and Lea. It is confusing because they do look like twins.
I recall my mother asking me to wake her from a nap when I was 7. When the time arrived for me to wake her I knocked on the door and was greeted with " LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE GD STUPID KID ". That was 44 years ago and I can still see myself at eye level with the door knob getting yelled at for something I was told to do. My biological father was very emotionally abusive saying I was a lying piece of shit , a piece of crap and good for nothing. My step-father would constantly try to start physical fights with me when I was in my early to mid teens. Many years later I was 36 and he was 65+ when he tried it again. Difference was that this time I stood up to him. He literally ran away like a little girl when approached by me. I'm telling you this to let you know what emotional and verbal abuse does or can do to a person. I now have bipolar disorder, have had a few suicide attempts and trust absolutely no one %100, not even my wife. Also my temper is extreme when not on meds. Because of the possibility of an explosive temper I no longer own guns . That was something I found necessary . I can function but am better left alone therefore I drive an 18 wheeler cross country. Watch what you say and do to or around children. It will effect the way they turn out.
I would say severe neglect also can cause this. I grew up in a severe hoarding situation. Animals, trash,clutter, you name it. Saw alot of pain and death because the animals were not taken care of properly, had a perverse father, and I grew up balancing on plastic soda bottles. As a young adult I got kidnapped and raped. I then went into an very abusive relationship where i was held captive for years and I was not even allowed to step outside.
Them cleaning up afterwards was not evidence of sanity or being calculated. They were maids - they cleaned regularly. In times of shock or trauma, a boring job which you can do without thinking is often calming. I am not surprised that this is what they did first.
Retha F you are rite I know this because my parents would argue nearly every night when I was younger and all I could do to cope with this was clean up around the house I often think about this and what an odd human behavior that it is.
Yes. It is now known that the frontal part of the brain, which takes care of moral reasoning and making decisions, shuts down under stress, and then one defaults to a kind of automatic pilot.
You Mr. Narrator, have nothing to apologize for at all. Your delivery and flow were brilliant and articulate. The storyline was easy to follow, intriguing ,surprising and depressing all at the same time. Well done! Looking forward to the next narration hopefully sooner than later.
Their narcisistic personalwty disorderd mother sure have been abused gerself as a child. For sure. Life is horror. I feel like abandoning everything I have believed in so far in my life & become a Goth 😪
@@PinkbubblegumPop Don't become a Goth, become YOURSELF. You're an original, and there is only one of you. With all the craziness in the world, it's easy to become lost and afraid. Just remain centered, follow your passion, and focus on the light, which is God. There are only two paths in life, one of fear, or one of love. Since fear cannot exist in the presence of love, choose LOVE.
Wow, just WOW! What a story! My heart was beating rapidly the entire time. Unbelievable, I could listen to you read for hours. Came upon your channel over two hours ago and I haven’t left. God bless! ☺️
Try being a manipulative six year old being punished for deliberately controlling the adults around you. Not only confusing, it hurts when bones break.
Don’t use Modern Images! The period images that you use adds a creepy effect and reinforces the reality of the story! With your narration, it’s like listening to and reading a picture book about a scary story! Keep up the good work! 👍😊👌
This is a sad story. I spent 20 years being caretaker and ran the house of a very wealthy single woman. For reasons too complicated to explain , she physically assaulted me in the kitchen. Scratched and bruised my arm and hit me in the face hard enough to make my nose bleed. This was in front of of 3 witnesses. Needles to say I walked out never to return. No matter how sweet they may seem at first, telling you how much you are needed, but you soon become part of the family like an old stick of furniture . These women were the dregs of society. I guess I was too.
Now that I can get. Doesn't give them right to do this kind of stuff a part of me wants to give them a hug and tell them they are valued still needs to be punished but I get it
@ Makes me realise they literally must have felt safe wanted n closure with their new mother only to find it was a trickery n they were taking advantage of them too.
I feel like it's good to not understand that particular one. I can't even see someone as an adult when they're 30, if I knew them when they were a kid, they're always a kid to me.
I am one of your French speaking fan from Quebec City, Canada. I, unfortunately, spend way too much time on UA-cam (I have a big job with TONS of responsibilities and two kids), and your channel surely is to blame for my time on this app! 😜 Nonetheless, I have always a blast watching your videos, especially now that you are reading and talking to us! Definitely one of the best channel on UA-cam! Thank you so much!!! Big hugs and kisses from the other side of the big pound! 🇨🇦
Your French was quite nice, especially for a native English speaker! Well done, my friend. Tu parles bien le français. Les anglophones qui parles bien comme vous, c'est rare!
Folie a deux. They had only one another. Probably little schooling led them to believe a fortune teller's story about them being a couple in a previous life. The previous anger at the abuse they suffered was set off by Madame Lancelin pinching and treating Lea in a cruel manner. Then followed carnage. The treatment of the cadavers was sickening. Thank you Oddie for this nightmare of a story. Beautifully done and I sat on the edge of my chair.
Many, many thanks to all the wonderful comments - it makes me sad that I can't reply to you all personally....but please know I really appreciate it. Thank you for enjoying my uploads & sharing my interest in the creepy & bizarre! :)
ObsoleteOddity , i really enjoy all your stores, listening to the story gets my own imagination going. The story of the two sister's was very interesting. I do Wonder if they have any living relatives today? Once again thank you for putting in time for the story's you bring to us.
ObsoleteOddity You add such artistic flare to your tellings. I have listened to others and they are, by far, inferior. I am quite amazed and enjoy listening to your narrations! Thank you so much for all your effort.--Your adoring fan...We're not worthy! We're not worthy! -to quote from our American comedians...lol
Thank You! I have never heard this,and what a great video! Being American and not speaking French I understand your concerns, but you have an amazing voice and any imperfections in your pronunciations should be ignored.
I absolutely adore your videos! I'm blown away by how detailed your stories are, it's obvious the amount of research you do. And the photos you include are wonderful regardless of wether they are from the actual case or not. And again I'm so glad that you have decided to narrate. It makes your vids even more enjoyable! Thank you💜
How utterly charming and elegant of you to apologise for your French pronunciation, "I hope you can overlook my massacre of your beautiful language" 👏🏻👍🏻. You are a wonderful storyteller
Hello. I saw this video, and decided to watch it. I just want to say, that I have watched a LOT of videos during the past two years, and you do one of the best jobs of putting together a story on a video, that I have seen. This was very interesting, and it was very well done!! Thank you.
The quality of your work is phenomenal! How fortunate I feel to have access to such quality. I have watched for years and want to express my deep gratitude and respect. Thank you!
Thank you so much for adding text! I have trouble understanding a story telling without text to read. A lot of these channels who do these types of videos don't have subtitles.
I like that the pictures are essentially just indicative of the times. the old pics and paintings unrelated still illustrate the world that the story takes place. puts me right in it.
even before I could get to the apologies, at the end of the video, I was thinking to myself that I found it awesome how you really made efforts to pronounce the French names. French is my mother tongue and I admire foreigners who attempt or even succeed to speak our language. Great video!
I love the way you enunciate the words. I understood every word. Coming from the Philippines, I am having a hard time (at times) understanding some people exactly what they are trying to convey. Thank you.
Did you feel any empathy for the girls because of what they had been through!? People mention the word bitter. Personally I think this to be very unfair. You'd have to be superhuman to not be eternally affected. I don't condone the murders, but think that people who so casually throw about the word bitter really haven't suffered much themselves. Does that make sense?!! Bitter is only surface deep. What these girls lived through goes deep into the physche, yes? But I can't think of another word at this moment in time to describe their state of mind, perhaps you could come up with a term! One which implies both sympathy and justice...for all involved. Does one even exist?!!
I knew of an autistic child who killed the high school bully because he blamed him for every other bully he had ever encountered. This was dangerous hidden anger.
My childhood was similar except I had been blessed with a caregiver who expressed love and positive comments toward me daily. I lost her at age 5 and was subjected to constant berating and complete lovelessness. I believe that I was spared the mental tragedy like these two sisters because I was able to determine that not everyone was against me due to my ear!ly association with a loving womanly motherly type. I have not, however, been completely free of the personality disorders resulting in the rest of my upbringing. Love is the key. Love heals. Love hopes. Love covers a multitude of problems.
i am right there with ya Perry White. But.....Jesus was right with me, all the way. Leading me and still is. It is/was hard to overcome the mental anguish, torcher and disorders. In time and in forgiveness is when the healing begins.
Perry, I'm sorry that happened to you and wanted to say I had a similar experience. I was always worried I would treat my son the same way I was treated by the person who emotionally beat me down, as SHE was treated that way by her mother. That didn't happen, though, and I think the major difference was the fact that I, too, had a loving, nurturing person in my family, who showed me what love was supposed to look like and truly cared about and loved me. I have come to realize that my abuser didn't have that, so she never really learned how to love and carried her own pain and hurt into every relationship. That doesn't make what happened to me ok, and it wasn't my fault, but it helped me understand the "why" of it, somewhat. I was also able to forgive them later in life. NOT for them, but for MYSELF, so I could get on with my own life. I'm so sorry to hear of your troubled childhood and the resulting pain from it. Love DOES heal! I hope you have found more of it in your life! You deserve it!! : )
@@dawndriscoll513 Thank you for your very upbuilding words and sharing your experiences with me. It's always good to know that we are not alone because there are people who have experienced the same adversities. We can comfort one another by sharing our conquests. Thank you Dawn😉
@@perrywhite2856 Well, thank you, Perry! I appreciate your kind words. I've found this comment section a safe place to share my experiences! I never thought I'd say that on UA-cam, especially in these tumultuous times, but I just did! ; )
Oddie, It would be lovely to see sources of additional information on your features for us history addicts out here. I listen to your stories with my morning coffee and afternoon tea and very much enjoy tracking down additional information about the people and topics you bring to my attention. Thank you for all your work; and the new narration is a fantastic personal touch. Looking forward to more! Cheers!
I’d heard about the sisters before, but I really liked this presentation. It’s such a ghastly, horrific incident, and I really feel for the victims of this crime. But the sisters were also victims of another sort - that doesn’t justify what they did, but it also has to make one think about how someone ultimately chooses to commit acts like that. Sad story.
Your French was great! It didn't take away from the story. Your voice is nice to listen to. Thanks for making these videos. People often don't appreciate how much work goes into any video! :-)
Nice video! First one I've seen from you. I like how you include the texted version so I can actually watch these without the voice if I want to (like in a public place without disturbing others), but also read them out loud - with your clear voice - which enables me to hear the story without looking at the screen (like when I do my makeup or clean the house). And the pictures and sound effects and not-too-loud music that fits the atmosphere... Very nice work (Y) I'm subscribing.
This is the third video I have watched this evening from obsolete oddities, I had never watched before,. I must say I am so glad that I strayed from my usual playlist.. I absolutely love the way you tell the stories, thank you so much
This video was so good. The best I've seen for ages. The music was scary, I've just moved into an old 110 year old flat and I was scared rigid ..!! Thanks! Story was brilliant.
Dearest Mr. ObsoleteOddity, I find the research and visual production of your "works of art", as it were, are of exceptional quality, I do so enjoy them, a lovely mixture of beauty and horror alike!!! Thank you so very much for your endeavour which I do indeed enjoy passionately!
Excellent, excellent, excellent!! I was recently thinking about when a new video might be uploaded and *poof*, I saw it within 15 minutes of its upload. Spoooky!! Your video's are always worth the wait and The Papin Sisters was no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I thank you so very much for all of your hard work. Damn you're good at this!!
Welkie!! BTW: Before I place my Oddities magnets, shirts, and maybe a mug order. Have you thought about adding can coolers to the mix? Just curious cuz I need a few. :-)~
This is an amazing source of information on the case and the sister's lives. I'm doing research for my podcast and watched this over and it gave me so much more in depth info than other sources! Great work!
There is something about the tone of your voice that reminds me of the wonderful Alan Rickman (may he R.I.P)! Very interesting channel, brilliant attention to detail and could listen to this narration all day. I'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel.
Great feedback my friend- thank you so much. I can't reply to all the fabulous comments from my viewers..but from time to time, some catch my eye (& heart) A lot have mentioned I sound like Alan Rickman - a great actor he was! I guess there are some similarities.

ObsoleteOddity hi, the photo around 2:55 of the nun in blue tones - may I ask what artwork/photographer that is from? thanks
sorry, I'd say that information is lost to time - these were sentimental photos typical of the era.
Thanks for watching!
ObsoleteOddity My pleasure.. thank YOU for the video stories! Excellent content + wonderful voice 👍👌
ObsoleteOddity loved it. it's better than prime time TV. You have a talent in putting these videos together and yes, I'm very happy that you started reading it to us. You have a wonderful voice and I always listen to UA-cam with my eyes closed when I've time to listen. So now? that you're treating us with a read aloud? I won't be missing any of your videos. thx.
ObsoleteOddity Thank you, so happy and excited upon getting the notufication 😀
This is quite a story. I often hear people say that the world is getting worse as people become more cruel and care less, but after watching this film, I'm convinced the world has always been horrible but the difference is that we hear about it more often now through the media.
and there's more people too now, so that's more chances for more bad ones to be produced.
Good point.
Yeah
Kris D How sad
Not only was the past not better than it is today, newspapers - believe it or not - are less sensational now than they were pre-WWII. Can you imagine them publishing photos today of murdered corpses as they did here and in many other cases? "The past was way classier" my eye. People who say that are either brainwashed by Hollywood films or are just editing out all the bad stuff.
I like that there’s written text *and* voiceover, so I can choose how I enjoy the video. Voiceover is calm, yet not boring.
You convinced me, I’ll subscribe.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Kai - much appreciated 😊
@@ObsoleteOddity agree. It's great for deaf viewers.
imagine during covid how many abused children are now hidden from society.
Diane Serafino you are scaring me!
@@theraven6843 Scaring with what? Truth? Oh yes, truth is scarier then fiction. Where I live lots of children never appeared to onlineclasses. No one knows what was going on with them for last half a year. And no one can do anything about it Why? Because here you can't report suspecting the crime to police. You need a smallest piece of evidence. Not going to online classes means the child is lazy. It's not a crime. So schools couldn't do a thing.
Anja B I WAS FILLED WITH HORROR! I AM A VICTIM MYSELVES. DIDN’T YOU GET IT! I’m 65 and hate to talk about it still. Do you UNDERSTAND NOW!!why I am scared?
@@theraven6843 Firstly; no, not really.
Secondly; it happens everywhere to so many people. There is more victims than you might think. And there is no one to help them. That's scary!
Anja B As if I didn’t know. You did’nt understand a word I said! I spoke with lots of victims during my therapy. Stop learning me some lessons regarding this ‘subject’!!!!!!!!!
Parents love is like oxygen for kids.
Abuse can really mess kids up
Exactly the main thing kids need is love
110% agreed - you can almost see a direct line from the abuse to the murder here
yeah. as a young child my mom abused me, but not as harsh as some people have gone through. my dad had to divorce her and he gained custody of me, so now i live with my dad and step-dad.
even now i struggle with the idea of affection and love because my mom never showed me any, and my dad was often busy.
@@therapy1442 no matter how harsh ,abuse is abuse. I'm sorry you had to go through that! If you were my little child I would have given you the love you deserved! Never blame yourself. Have a wonderful life!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@sugarbear0502 🤣🤣 i would've been a handful, trust me haha
A while ago I watched an "official" french documentary about this case - it was twice as long as this video and contained possibly less than a half of the facts you provided. Thank you so very much for the thorough research and effort you put in making your videos!
That made my day - thank you so much!
Nobody can imagine the consequences of children brought up with no love at all. I saw it almost everyday when I was teaching in a prison. For a child, love is as necessary as oxygen.
"Mother is the name for God on the lips & hearts of ALL children"
I'm living proof.
Suzanne Frances Twenty five years ago I spent a few months being homeless with three toddlers. I lived in a run down motel where my husband and one other person actually had jobs. My husband and I did not drink or do drugs but every one else did. I learned from that experience that there is only one thing that children truly want in life and that is to know that their parents love them. We made sure our children heard us say I love you at least once a day!
That's a relatively recent idea. Up until the 1930's and Jean Piagets work - children were thought of and treated like mini-adults. Also, per the CDC, in the late 19th and early 20th century, as many as 30% of all children died in thier first year, so emotional attachment was a bit frowned upon.
my mother made it clear every day that she hated our father so it was pretty clear to see she hated us.
I have no idea how I ended up here. I certainly wasn't looking for this story or anything like it. But I'm so glad because it was truly intriguing and I've long been looking for a good story teller. Thank you!
FourLeaf Clover I'm kinda lost.

Especially back then. Any sexual encounter was always the woman's fault, no matter how forceful the rape was. This was the belief until very recently.

Same here. I just got here and I'm looking around wondering how do I get out of this dungeon. Unfortunately, the story telling hooked me and I'm still here.
Perhaps you should have no idea more often, then?
Having bad parents can really ruin a person's mind.
LyricsYT it absolutely does...
LyricsYT the way you're treated by your parents affects the way you think to the way you act so yes you'd be correct
I think it's generally a learned familial trait that gets passed on no matter how hard you try to disregard your own upbringing. Someone was bad to their mother, too... and someone was bad to that person.... and so on and so on. You pass down what you learn. #1 reason i DIDN'T have kids. I LOVED my unborn children, & they didn't deserve to go through the horror & EXTREME beatings that i grew up with, and my folks before me(although in our day, having your hide skinned off by your parents was acceptable- but mine went beyond that) & my family would have treated my children badly, and that just MAY have made me murderous. I LOVED my family. Even if I didn't have one.
Folks, when you hit that point of "it's gotta stop.." remove YOURSELF, not the child. A child HAS nowhere else to go. Lol, it WAS too funny seeing doctors/'therapists' suggest that it might just partially be my mom's fault- she blew a gasket in their office at the mere suggestion.- & those 2 docs looked at me in wide-eyed shock & helpless horror FOR me, jaws hanging OPEN. I'll never forget the look on their faces... I forgave myself that day. (My "problem" (their problem) was that I had withdrawn from all social pretenses & avoided any contact with any human. They're just too They couldn't help me if she wasn't going to let them. I just had to find a way out on my own(she was quite the queen of motives, lies, denial & "outward appearances." Even teachers suggested to me that "You don't have to live like this." But yes- when you're a teen in a small town, you're considered nothing but drama and no substance..there WAS NO HELP but to hit the old railroad tracks out of town & not look back at 14 yrs old. I got really lucky. Got out of that town and all of the sudden found out that there were people who WOULD help!) Don't give up. Don't become what you hate. It's too easy to fall prey to your own human nature. We must evolve. It's harder.
Mio Hai So true. Those who abuse are people that were also abused when they were younger. Things get passed on.
Mio Hai well said I am so happy you got through it
it sounds like they were imagining killing her mother when they killed them
Tamu Malone inflation
Tamu Malone Yes - severe example of dissociation.

Sounds like these girls just had enough of being treated with contempt, disrespect and abuse, and just snapped.
Long term abuse can push you into changing who you are & doing things you’d never otherwise do 😥
I agree . It’s 100% justified and acceptable
@@billybreathes8088 It is.
@@billybreathes8088 Lol. Yeah. I doubt there are many psychologists or psychiatrists who would have employed them. They have all the talk, but let them put their own eyes and lives on the line and suddenly their opinions would change.
@Isabel Livieva - We can't throw a blanket statement over all cases.
Some ppl can eat peanuts, some people nearly die from them. Same thing, different reaction.
Clearly, the long term abuse, neglect and cruelty these girls endured turned them around so far.. it appears the constant put downs, yelling and condescending treatment on a day to day basis drove them way over the line, as it would!
Long term abuse since childhood can do horrible things to people, re-wire their brains, lose their sanity.. These girls tried to make it, they tried. They worked, they did the right thing.. seemingly doing well.. only for their place of comfort turned into a living hell.
How much more 'evidence' do you need...
@Isabel Livieva You clearly don't see that for all their life, they were victims. Free to leave and do what?? How do they survive?Where do they go? It's not that cut n dry.
And we aren't comparing rapists and serial killers to these girls. They snapped. They didn't go around killing and raping people. They didn't just have a 'bad childhood', they had a bad life. Clearly you are so far removed from any understanding or perception of what this is like or the psychological and behavioural effects long term abuse has.
While I haven't suffered what these girls went through, I know first hand the long term affects of mental and physical abuse.
And Yes, these deaths are still horrendous and tragic, not taking that away, nor did they deserve to be murdered like that.. But we must understand WHY.
why is no one talking about the fortune teller saying they were man and wife in a previous life..... wtf

DEFINITELY agree!
Wow really sad that she was punished for her father being a sick man! The mother expected to use these young girls as a meal ticket. After turning her back on them, she had no right to ask anything of them after they were grown. I'm very sure this contributed to the sisters "personalities" or issues. 🖤 Really breaks my heart to hear stories about those who never really had a chance from the beginning. So sad!
I am severely disappointed with their parents for abusing/neglecting them and using them for money after everything she put the girls through, like who has the right to do such a horrible thing
I like how the father was a child rapist and an alcoholic, yet the mother was considered to be 'of low morals'.
Because she was. What's the issue? She abandoned her daughters. That's low morals.
@@keepa1 But the father didn't have low morals?

However I was with no doubt Taken by all of it .You have thee most intriguing voice and Talent in story telling Justice was served alone by the way it was told , the wonderful old photographs was a bonding plus! I truly wouldn’t have it any other way .Never in my lifetime have I payed so much Undivided attention to anything like I have listening to this story ..Finding myself truly lost within .. Dear sir
I might not know how I stumbled upon it ? but with no doubt will be a fan of yours forever . Your ability to tell that story yet be so humbling about any mistake in pronunciation at the end jus made me smile more .. We lack so much in literature and old fashion story telling it’s so hard to keep the interest of a trillion troubled minds I seem to have forgotten about my own jus listening..
You are a rarity in old fashion forgotten story telling and wish you nothing but continued success .. Never stop or change a thing .. tough world out there no matter what century or world we find ourselves in ...

welcome to wonderland mother fuckers
It's so sad to me that somebody could really accuse their 10-year-old child (CHILD!) of *seducing* a grown man, let alone their own father. She was just looking for a reason to leave her kids.
In that time, it was their belief still that wickedness was always the female's fault - age notwithstanding. Stupid, but so are a lot of beliefs still today.
If you go to some churches today, child victims of pastors/priests would be blamed as seductresses.
Oh not to mention at the time while age of consent was established, it was more to "protect virginity" and a man can marry a girl of any age and whatever he did was legal because the wife was the husbands property.
And then of course the girls had an odd idea about love, family and sexuality. With what their dad did to them, how were they supposed to have normal boundaries.
My great grandmother used to always say that "bad luck plagues households that abuse the help."
Mom: *sends the girls to a convent*
Mom: *outraged when they become nuns*
😂 exactly
Some people are impossible to please.
@@constanceleah118 The girls were sent to the Sisters of the Good Shepherd who were founded in France to rehabilitate wayward girls, and women. To teach them some sort trade like lace making, sewing ,etc.so they wouldn't go back to criminal activity etc. Was terrible what they did to their employers.
@@hildahilpert5018 Was also terrible what society did to them.
I suspect the mother had some kind of mental illness or personality disorder which isn't mentioned.
I am interested to know what happened to the 3rd sister, Emilie, I presume she remained a nun at the convent? Probably a good idea, saved herself from further insanity. Very chilling what happened, and how dangerous child abuse can be, in the mind of that child who then becomes an adult.
I heard Emilie died in the 1980s, and i doubt she had any contact with Lea or Christine after Christine left the convent.

I think the addition of pictures to the story enhances the story immensely and they do seem to fit the narrative. I find myself being amazed because they are such a perfect match to the story.
So glad you enjoyed the presentation - very much appreciated 😊
It is perfect! I love the use of period photos. The only thing I would like is labels if they are authentic as to who/what the photographs represent.
I agree...
Downhomesunset no please don't say that these old pictures and film is a window left open to the horrors of the past must keep window closed damn it they can come now until daylight but is long time and I'm scared horrific stuff is coming it's evil and suffering

If a child receives no love in their early years this dictates their future...
Yes and no. I am slowly taking back my life and just recently, with some help, started to understand why I did a lot of the things I did growing up and into adulthood. I was lucky enough to have the right help at the right time, and understand that my mother had her own demons. I actually forgive her, not for her sake, but for mine. It's been like lifting a ton of bricks off my chest!! I did not deserve to be treated the way I was and cannot go back and change it. I can only go forward with my new knowledge and inner strength, and determination. I also hope to help others who have had similar experiences. I think it's horrible to not have a mother's love, and I would never excuse it, but I don't think it will absolutely dictate a person's future. However, you're mostly right, because it CAN completely ruin some people, so, Idk? Sorry for rambling. And, bottom line, I mostly agree. Lol. :)

Those girls had a pretty deadly attachment disorder. They probably had no empathy for anyone but one another, and knew they could only trust one another. This is a really extreme case of the damage abandonment and abuse can cause. So sorry fir all involved.

How utterly tragic. You did a wonderful job with this story, both giving a factual account of what happened and in evoking sympathy for the horrible damage that abuse left behind in those sisters even years after the fact. Another great video!

No offence but you obviously dont know french, but I heard worse, so overall you get away with it because its normal to mispronouce when you are not familiar.
It may help that some translating sites offer pronouciation help. French isnt an easy language to master, but I liked the voice, the slow narration that made the even wrongly pronouciation still understadable.
@@ObsoleteOddity I found your apology most gracious even tho it is perfectly common for everyone to struggle with correct pronunciation of a foreign language, yes, even the French!
So, Emilia, that was victimized by their dad, actually got to remain a nun, and escaped the nightmare of that horrendous family? At least, that's good to know. ♡
OneOfTheMasses * if you knew what happend to nuns in those days or to illegitimate kids in those days... there are TONS of documentaries on youtube about it. look up "800 babies found in a septic tank in Ireland". They worked children to death, starved & threw away babies, raped by priests. Horrific.

Absolutely true. Horrible places, the orphanages run by religion. This girl didn't "escape" any horrors by becoming a nun.
Why show? In case people don't know.
Why NOT "show"?

BELATED HAPPY BDAY DUBU
Whether 100 years ago or present day bad mothers, broken distrubed families; create sick human beings. This horrendous process continues and the unfortunate to be born unwanted suffers a difficult life and in turn directs that into society. They link mental illness to these women but I must say their home life was unimaginable. A very sick mother will not produce as in caring love and nurture, sane children.
Excellent video. You do this wonderfully. TY.
Because it didn't really affect the girl. She was the one who lived as a nun remember. Not saying it was at all nice but the younger girls was all the mothers fault.
RenegadeTimes We only know of the rape of the oldest sister. Abusers like that don't stop with one. I seriously doubt only the one daughter was sexually abused.
Well their upbringing is all mental health related and they didn't say in the video but I'm sure their home life brought PTSD, anxiety, depression and or other mental disorders.
It's amazing how people so easily place the mother as the home for any and everything when it comes to children. It shows how little men and fathers are considered or even held responsible when it comes to FAMILY. The men in the lives of these women dedniywlybplaywd a huge part in their demise , yet most of these comments don't speak on that. What about BAD FATHERS..? You glossed over that and just labeled it as broken disturbed family..... that's just crazy to me. Men are always behind serious evil.... remember that.
+Fran Connorton
Thank you!! So many people here are forgetting that the girl who was raped was the ONLY one who turned out "all right" in the end. Imagine if her sister were able to join the order. This whole situation would not have happened.
Abused as children with parents that are absolutely worthless then having their mother make their decisions for them......No wonder they turned out the way they did. Sad but great story Oddie
this story shows how a dark, terrible evil can lurk and fester in the depths of people's minds and souls, possibly unknown even to the person who harbors it.
PaineMe: good point. it was the employers fault. accountability is overrated.(smell that sarcasm?)
Vol de Mort: i disagree. when serial killers are caught, neighbors always say: "i never suspected him to be like that! he was always quiet but friendly, kept to himself, but nice, helpful." john wayne gacy helped entertain as a clown at kid's parties. evil does not always have a particular face.
Karpov Liam: your reasoning is what's wrong with today's society. nobody wants to take accountability for their actions or misdeeds. it's easier to blame your ills on being victimized. yes they had a shitty upbringing, but that doesn't justify brutally murdering people.

I'm pretty sure the reason for their evil deed is much simpler - mental illness.
The story of the two girls became a famous play titled The Maids by Jean Genet, a french playwright. I played the Madame in an American rendition of the play. It was a really fun role and a creepy and haunting play. This was a great retelling of the real story. Bravo 👏

It was also made into a play by Wendy Kesselman "My Play" and adapted into a 1994 film titled "Sister My Sister".

Amazing!!!!
Jessica Margaret Dean why was the lady nice at first and then become such a bitch?
This may sound weird but your voice is so beautiful. Love it so much!
Jelila4ever I agree!
What a sad story. These girls' abusive upbringing obviously had horrible psychological consequences. I hope they're together and at peace now, wherever they are.
I hope their tortured victims are at peace now
@@lesjohn534 Me, too. Hopefully they're all at peace, both the girls and their victims, because this was a case where the perpetrators of violence were victims as well. No, of course their traumatic upbringing doesn't excuse their behavior, but it certainly explains it and points to that, had they grown up differently, they most likely wouldn't have done what they did.
@@AliciaNyblade Being abused does not give you the green light to be a murderer. Please.....
@@missmargmillionaire6421 yeah that’s true aren’t the steers dead now or would they still be able to to be alive?
@@missmargmillionaire6421there is such thing As snapping you know. Having repeated abuse and psychological problems is absolutely an “excuse” for murder. Especially if the people being murdered are the main cause for such mental breakdowns. Those house owner’s would’ve ruined their reputation and They would’ve never been hired again. To be left on the streets after all they went through would definitely cause them to snap.
Your French pronunciation was impeccable, to be honest. To think that we now have medicine and modern therapeutic modalities that may have helped these poor ladies and saved the two lives they took.

well it would be nice to think that the meds work but for the most part they dont and when they fall shot is when people stop taking them fall back into habitsand things fall apart . then you have Roseanne wich fell back a few decadesand got shock therapyand now owns and runs a nut farm literally lol. modern is not always functional.

Here in 2021. The only thing that I get from these stories is, nothing has really changed. Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Thanks for your very kind feedback - much appreciated.
As interesting as the story is, I found your narration of it is what kept my interest at a constant high. You are a natural. Thank you.
I recall my mother asking me to wake her from a nap when I was 7. When the time arrived for me to wake her I knocked on the door and was greeted with " LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE GD STUPID KID ". That was 44 years ago and I can still see myself at eye level with the door knob getting yelled at for something I was told to do. My biological father was very emotionally abusive saying I was a lying piece of shit , a piece of crap and good for nothing. My step-father would constantly try to start physical fights with me when I was in my early to mid teens. Many years later I was 36 and he was 65+ when he tried it again. Difference was that this time I stood up to him. He literally ran away like a little girl when approached by me.
I'm telling you this to let you know what emotional and verbal abuse does or can do to a person. I now have bipolar disorder, have had a few suicide attempts and trust absolutely no one %100, not even my wife. Also my temper is extreme when not on meds. Because of the possibility of an explosive temper I no longer own guns . That was something I found necessary . I can function but am better left alone therefore I drive an 18 wheeler cross country.
Watch what you say and do to or around children. It will effect the way they turn out.
I would say severe neglect also can cause this. I grew up in a severe hoarding situation. Animals, trash,clutter, you name it. Saw alot of pain and death because the animals were not taken care of properly, had a perverse father, and I grew up balancing on plastic soda bottles. As a young adult I got kidnapped and raped. I then went into an very abusive relationship where i was held captive for years and I was not even allowed to step outside.
I now have bipolar, PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorder
I wonder if my parents had not been hoarders and I could have had friends over and a community if i would have had a better life.

Them cleaning up afterwards was not evidence of sanity or being calculated.
They were maids - they cleaned regularly. In times of shock or trauma, a boring job which you can do without thinking is often calming. I am not surprised that this is what they did first.
Retha F you are rite I know this because my parents would argue nearly every night when I was younger and all I could do to cope with this was clean up around the house I often think about this and what an odd human behavior that it is.
Good point, doing things by rote when in shock.
@@ProudBastardArtscom Doing things by rote?
I thought the very same thing. They were professionally maids of course they're going to want to cook them and clean .😂😂😂 crazy!!
Yes. It is now known that the frontal part of the brain, which takes care of moral reasoning and making decisions, shuts down under stress, and then one defaults to a kind of automatic pilot.
I could listen to this guy read the phone book and it would be interesting.
Thank you so much! 😊
My thoughts exactly!🙈 Loving the narrator's voice.
So clear. I speak English badky and I was able to understand every word. Amazing voice. i
Lol same.. so soothing
Ok I was scrolling I stopped to give it a try cause your comment made me laugh. Now let’s see how it is 😚
You Mr. Narrator, have nothing to apologize for at all. Your delivery and flow were brilliant and articulate. The storyline was easy to follow, intriguing ,surprising and depressing all at the same time. Well done! Looking forward to the next narration hopefully sooner than later.
That was a good one.i never heard of them
yep! i totally agree!!! GREAT JOB sir! 🎤👍🏾
There's a lesson in this... be good to your children.
tiffsaver I’m no murderer but I went through the exact same childhood and can say it 100% leaves you with mental illnesses.
I thought the lesson was... be good to your housekeepers.
Their narcisistic personalwty disorderd mother sure have been abused gerself as a child. For sure. Life is horror. I feel like abandoning everything I have believed in so far in my life & become a Goth 😪
@@PinkbubblegumPop
Don't become a Goth, become YOURSELF. You're an original, and there is only one of you. With all the craziness in the world, it's easy to become lost and afraid. Just remain centered, follow your passion, and focus on the light, which is God. There are only two paths in life, one of fear, or one of love. Since fear cannot exist in the presence of love, choose LOVE.
The kids are unwanted. That's why the mother treat them bad. Why didn't she get an abortion?
Your voice is so soothing and I could literally listen to your voice for hours
Thanks my friend!
Wow, just WOW! What a story! My heart was beating rapidly the entire time. Unbelievable, I could listen to you read for hours. Came upon your channel over two hours ago and I haven’t left. God bless! ☺️

Well if the shampoo comment was copied, how about this, "I could sit and listen to you talk any gibberish and still be interested in the story.

So sad... the narrator has the perfect voice for stories such as these...
1:40 who believes a 10 year old seduced someone??????? wtf really...
Because some people are creeps =_=
My thoughts exactly.
Try being a manipulative six year old being punished for deliberately controlling the adults around you.
Not only confusing, it hurts when bones break.
Only selfish, emotionally immature adults accuse innocent children of such a thing
Unfortunately, some people have this same mindset today.
Don’t use Modern Images! The period images that you use adds a creepy effect and reinforces the reality of the story! With your narration, it’s like listening to and reading a picture book about a scary story! Keep up the good work! 👍😊👌
Thanks for your very kind feedback, I appreciate it :)
This is a sad story. I spent 20 years being caretaker and ran the house of a very wealthy single woman. For reasons too complicated to explain , she physically assaulted me in the kitchen. Scratched and bruised my arm and hit me in the face hard enough to make my nose bleed. This was in front of of 3 witnesses. Needles to say I walked out never to return. No matter how sweet they may seem at first, telling you how much you are needed, but you soon become part of the family like an old stick of furniture .
These women were the dregs of society. I guess I was too.
mary pro Damn...truly sorry to hear it. Having said that, I've known some great dregs. Been there myself 😎

they probably wanted to do that to their real mother and father...
Now that I can get. Doesn't give them right to do this kind of stuff a part of me wants to give them a hug and tell them they are valued still needs to be punished but I get it
@ Makes me realise they literally must have felt safe wanted n closure with their new mother only to find it was a trickery n they were taking advantage of them too.
@ They sound like Batman villains
How do people even get turned on by children like seriously wth.
They don't get turned on. Its control and the taking of the child's innocence. As theirs was taken by an adult no doubt.
That shit baffles TF outta me ill never understand that sick shit.
It is some kind of mental illness . Search " paraphilic disorders " on google, there you will find your answer. Hope it helps.
I feel like it's good to not understand that particular one. I can't even see someone as an adult when they're 30, if I knew them when they were a kid, they're always a kid to me.

I am one of your French speaking fan from Quebec City, Canada. I, unfortunately, spend way too much time on UA-cam (I have a big job with TONS of responsibilities and two kids), and your channel surely is to blame for my time on this app! 😜 Nonetheless, I have always a blast watching your videos, especially now that you are reading and talking to us! Definitely one of the best channel on UA-cam! Thank you so much!!! Big hugs and kisses from the other side of the big pound! 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!!
Tara verte 78 you have TONS of responsibilities yet you spend way to much time on UA-cam. What a bazaar dichotomy you find yourself in.
Mark Winberry Yes, I mean at the job... 😜. You are so right, my sentence was super weird! It happens when English is NOT your first language! 😉

Your French was quite nice, especially for a native English speaker! Well done, my friend. Tu parles bien le français. Les anglophones qui parles bien comme vous, c'est rare!
Folie a deux. They had only one another. Probably little schooling led them to believe a fortune teller's story about them being a couple in a previous life. The previous anger at the abuse they suffered was set off by Madame Lancelin pinching and treating Lea in a cruel manner. Then followed carnage. The treatment of the cadavers was sickening. Thank you Oddie for this nightmare of a story. Beautifully done and I sat on the edge of my chair.
Thank you for your positive feedback and insights Kary Ann, very much appreciated 😊🙏

I absolutely adore your videos! I'm blown away by how detailed your stories are, it's obvious the amount of research you do. And the photos you include are wonderful regardless of wether they are from the actual case or not. And again I'm so glad that you have decided to narrate. It makes your vids even more enjoyable!

Wait.. So the guy who owns this channel is doing the talking? I thought this was brilliant. What a voice
I agree. I thought the narrator was a professional. His voice is perfect for the subject matter and I love his clipped British accent.

Did you feel any empathy for the girls because of what they had been through!? People mention the word bitter. Personally I think this to be very unfair. You'd have to be superhuman to not be eternally affected. I don't condone the murders, but think that people who so casually throw about the word bitter really haven't suffered much themselves. Does that make sense?!! Bitter is only surface deep. What these girls lived through goes deep into the physche, yes? But I can't think of another word at this moment in time to describe their state of mind, perhaps you could come up with a term!
One which implies both sympathy and justice...for all involved. Does one even exist?!!
This is creepier than most of the horror movies I've watched. This kept my interest and attention.
In the sickest minds of pedophiles , they truly believe that they are being seduced therefore believe the child wanted it. Always believe the child,
Keep an eye out for people like this.
Doc Bailey HAHAHA
good one
Misplaced anger at their own real mother.
Ava Alexander Exactly!
I'm not sure about that. Why did Mme. Lancelin turn on them etc. See my comment earlier.
that's all this really was; the straw that broke the camel's back. on top of that, they only ever had each other.
Ava Alexander
I knew of an autistic child who killed the high school bully because he blamed him for every other bully he had ever encountered. This was dangerous hidden anger.
Where has this been all my life? Finally a narration I like listening to. Yes the French was off but I loved it anyway. I love this
" You had me at milky eyeball. "
The sisters are charming aren't they. 😱🖤
I have a milky eyeball... cataracts.
Amen.
This will make a great horror film.
very true..but they did a period piece movie based on the sisters.
What is that movie called? Would love to see it :)
'Sister my sister'
You can watch it on Id channel deadly women
TheColorOfCaramel sister my sister. it was a good movie
My childhood was similar except I had been blessed with a caregiver who expressed love and positive comments toward me daily. I lost her at age 5 and was subjected to constant berating and complete lovelessness. I believe that I was spared the mental tragedy like these two sisters because I was able to determine that not everyone was against me due to my ear!ly association with a loving womanly motherly type. I have not, however, been completely free of the personality disorders resulting in the rest of my upbringing. Love is the key. Love heals. Love hopes. Love covers a multitude of problems.
i am right there with ya Perry White. But.....Jesus was right with me, all the way. Leading me and still is. It is/was hard to overcome the mental anguish, torcher and disorders. In time and in forgiveness is when the healing begins.
Perry, I'm sorry that happened to you and wanted to say I had a similar experience. I was always worried I would treat my son the same way I was treated by the person who emotionally beat me down, as SHE was treated that way by her mother. That didn't happen, though, and I think the major difference was the fact that I, too, had a loving, nurturing person in my family, who showed me what love was supposed to look like and truly cared about and loved me. I have come to realize that my abuser didn't have that, so she never really learned how to love and carried her own pain and hurt into every relationship. That doesn't make what happened to me ok, and it wasn't my fault, but it helped me understand the "why" of it, somewhat. I was also able to forgive them later in life. NOT for them, but for MYSELF, so I could get on with my own life. I'm so sorry to hear of your troubled childhood and the resulting pain from it. Love DOES heal! I hope you have found more of it in your life! You deserve it!! : )

I’d heard about the sisters before, but I really liked this presentation. It’s such a ghastly, horrific incident, and I really feel for the victims of this crime. But the sisters were also victims of another sort - that doesn’t justify what they did, but it also has to make one think about how someone ultimately chooses to commit acts like that. Sad story.

First one I've seen from you. I like how you include the texted version so I can actually watch these without the voice if I want to (like in a public place without disturbing others), but also read them out loud - with your clear voice - which enables me to hear the story without looking at the screen (like when I do my makeup or clean the house).
