The Uncanny Disappearance of James Worson - 1873
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- We will hear of a shoemaker in England, who vanished right in front of his friends in the year of 1873.
Strange disappearances occur continually...and sometimes there are witnesses.
I'm going to be posting on UA-cam selected previously locked Patreon videos that are approximately 1.5 (one and a half) years old. They are early Patreon videos and not of the same quality or length of the videos I'm producing now on Patreon or UA-cam. This is one of them :) Many, many thanks to my patrons on Patreon for enabling me to keep going - bless you all.
Some of the topics discussed on the 'blah blah' towards the end of video, because of the upload date, may no longer be relevant.
This weekend, Sunday 24th, 4:30 pm GMT Time - I'll be hosting my first ever livestream exclusively on Patreon! Looking forward to a real time chat with members :)
I'll be posting the day before on Patreon a link to an event calendar I've created, where members can find out exactly what time it will be in their part of the world.

That would be nice!
Thank you friend. New sub 👍
Thanks so much for your creations! I love your animation style. It almost reminds me of the View Master cards coming to life in my mind as a child.
@@rjchavers9267I was about to say the same!
I'd never heard of this one
Reminds me of the man who disappeared in his field in rural southern states.
IF I am not mistaken Oddie DID do a story on that disappearance and it was a great story
I remember that story. Very weird!
Same here I watched that video on oddies channel.
It makes one wonder!
I remember that story from local news! I think they used that story as one of the episode story lines on X-Files years later...
Oh Oddie, you are just the dearest, bestest storyteller! It’s funny but while I was watching this, I commented to myself how much I enjoy the vintage photos and art you include in your videos. They, along with the subtle animations, are excellently done and very much appreciated. They illustrate the high level of care you choose to put into your creations. Your unique stories are lovely gifts to people like myself who you will most likely never meet, and we thank you very much.
Thank you for those kind words :)
Karen Marlatt well said thx you
Well said,
@@ObsoleteOddity - Weren't you planning on doing an audiobook? You would be PERFECT for that 👍 !
@@saymyname2417 Yes I did an audiobook in three parts on my Patreon channel (a tale from H. P. Lovecraft) ...but I haven't pursued doing that for a living as it's very boring just narrating without having fun with video editing :)
This is what youtube is all about what a great story and awesome video I don't,comment much but,I watch all your videos all are great thanks pal👍👍👍👍
Me too
Ditto!!!
Same here.
I really enjoy your hard work. Thank you so much. You are VERY special and unique...There is no one else that compares. Please keep creating... WE LOVE IT! Can't wait for what's next from you!
I remember reading about this from an early 1950s copy of Fate magazine I found in an old inherited suitcase when I was little. I've always remembered it. (There was also a copy of a 1933 Good Housekeeping edition with a mind boggling ad for Lysol disinfectant and it's recommended use as not only good for cleaning floors but as a feminine hygiene product! Another kind of obsolete (and horror filled) oddity, indeed!)
THAT is quite curious! I bet it'd burn...
They may have meant using Lysol to disinfect ladies' undergarments before washing them when they were having their period. I have read that women in poor rural areas often didn't have access to modern sanitary products and had to , for want of a better word, improvise. Don't judge them - just be glad that we didn't live at such a time :)
@@thedativecase9733 it was used diluted for douching after sex as anticonception.
Celia Lovett I remember Fate magazine. I used to have a lot of the little magazine, but moves and such? I lost a lot of them. It would be fun to read them again.
Oh my.Carla
eating ramen while watching this at 1 am(Manila,Philippines )..as usual, another great video😌😌
I hate the I'm first and what year im watching comments but for some reason these comments I love 🤣👍 I need some noodles now
Wonderful! My 10yr old daughter and I are enthralled by your tales!!
Great bonding. I love it
These disappearences always bother me terribly, but I will say, with great enthusiasm, that your interactive photos are awesome. The blinking eyes, the slight turn of the face, or outdoor scenes, with puffs of smoke from chimneys, and animals occasionally dashing by...all of the little details are what brings me running to a new video...🥀
Thank you for your great feedback, I really appreciate it and I’m so glad you’re enjoying my content.
How do you do it, Oddie? Another puzzling & perplexing tale embroidered with wonderful pics, music & sound affects. Loved the pooch!🐶. I appreciate all your hard work locating the pics.....
Its fantastic eh love that sort of time
A very enchanting imagery to a curious tale. Thank you very much.
Yesssss a new one!! Thanks Oddie! Today is going to be a good day! 💙
MegAnne My thoughts exactly 👍
This story reminds me of The Missing 411. There are so many stories all around the world of people disappearing, some reappear, some alive sadly, most are dead. The people that never reappear are lost forever. I believe in portals. Actually I believe they all end up in portals..You did such a good job on this story Oddie!! I thought, 6 minutes and some change? But you never disappoint us. Well told and thoughtful! I'm so glad you can continue this lovely thing you do.
I was thinking the same thing!
I always enjoy the background sounds and the little fluttering of movements in the videos. Thanks for taking time to add them. This is a fascinating story and I've watched other videos on YT about these "time slips". A story like this from the 1800's when events were not speeding around the world like in today's mass media, I can tend to believe them easier. People who claim these time slips have returned to their current year and time. If Mr. Worson truly haf this occur, I wonder if he fell into a bad slip or he somehow could make the choice to stay there. Great story Oddie!
Wow wonder what happened?? Interesting video and excellent work! Thank you for your hard work. Have a great day!
Read my comment. Dont be fooled. And you are very pretty.....
I was missing your videos!Amazing as always :)
Read my comment. Dont be fooled.....
Really appreciate your dedication & research into putting these videos together, Oddie. I very much enjoy the photos & the special effects you add to bring these long ago stories to life. You do it so well I'll be trying to figure out what DID happen to this man for awhile!
Thank you. 😉
A tale that Ambrose Bierce found interesting as well, and included in a collection of curious tales that he published. Strange, how Bierce himself later disappeared! What happened to him??
He went to Mexico during the Mexican Rev., joined a group of rebels and was never heard from again.
He disappeared during the Mexican Revolution possibly murdered. I love Bierce's writing, what a strange and curious mind he had.
There is also a story about a man that just "appeared" in New York City (I think) in the 50's. He was dressed from the 1800's and had money and other things in his pockets from the 1800's that looked brand new. He ended up passing away from a heart attack thought to be brought on by shock. So, you have one man running in the 1800's who vanished and another man (or perhaps the same) from the 1800's who appeared 100 years in the future. Interesting, indeed.
Its possible
Though the New York one is fictional, just a sci. fiction short story called “I’m Scared”, published in 1951.
Read one of my favorite books, Time And Again by Jack Finney.
Rudolph Fenz?
@@peterh1423 this one is an Ambrose Bierce story from 1888 lol
I love your videos!! Your voice is so soothing❤❤ I always listen to you when i go to sleep, keep up your excellent work❤❤
Very sad and tragic story. I have heard of other similar accounts that happened to people. I am certain those that were there when the person disappeared before their eyes were left forever seriously affected if not somewhat broken and traumatized, for that is something that cannot be rationalized to most people, especially explaining it to law enforcement. I don't know what the the closest thing to call this except an opened wormhole to other dimensions. I do enjoy learning new historical facts while listening to your silky voice and truly appreciate all your time and effort you put into making exceptional quality channel.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Patricia - much appreciated :)
As always the images and effects down to a tune makes this and yourself a masterpiece so glad you are here cheering us all on. Thank you Oddie.
Very much appreciated, thank you for that 🙏☺️
@@ObsoleteOddity Oddie sir you are a rarity and am so grateful 🙏
Was just thinking in the last few hours: "I wonder where Oddie is? Haven't seen anything from him; hope he's okay... will he be putting anything on UA-cam?... gosh! I didn't realize I'd gotten addicted to those uploads!..." I kid you not, that was what really went through my mind. Thanks for putting my mind at ease and know people think about you...must be some psychic link, huh? Thank You for your wonderful video. Edit: no, I don't imagine there are many relevant photos from around 1873.
Always a great story and so worth every minute you put into them. Thanks for what you do!
The old pics adds so much to your stories....thanks!
I've read of this case before. It's truly baffling
Was waiting for another upload, I got served. Thank you Oddi.
I stumbled on this while I was relaxing in the Spanish sun and thoroughly enjoyed them. The time and effort put into these true stories has fascinated me, and quickly forwarded them on to my sisters and daughters who I know will be as spell bound as I. Please carry on, I especially enjoy the little little detailed bits like the occasional rat, dogs and the “Whispering” music. Thank you
Thanks for your very kind feedback Hayley, and for sharing my videos with family members - much appreciated! 🎩
That was a very interesting story you shared with all of us. Thank you once again for you work, I can't imagine taking the time or where you find these pictures and the stories that go with them, you are a truly wonderful man and your narration is just mesmerizing. I love listening to your voice. It's so soothing and relaxing. Thank you for all you do, I'm looking forward to your next story. Bless you and you lovely wife. I hope you have a wonderful evening.❤
Thanks for your very kind feedback Roxann - Very much appreciated :)
your site is the first one that I look forward to seeing. each day you are awesome thank you
Wonderful atmospheric story 🧐, thank you so much for this .
Argh! As I heard the part where he fell forward and disappeared without a trace I had immediately assumed a sinkhole or puddle of quicksand swallowed him up; later on, however, you mentioned that nothing of the sort was ever found in that area! It boggles the mind to consider what might have happened to him so suddenly, so out in the open, and caused him such anguish! Loved this one, Oddie! Short and sweet, yet intriguing and baffling! Thanks so much!
I've been working long hours back to back. I treat your creations as my reward! 😖🙏
Me too, Tungsten. They are, always, such a treat!
Words, cannot describe how your videos has pulled me through recuperating from my surgery.. Thanks, Oddie once again for another job well done on this video.. Peace and Love to you and Odette ~~~
"An Unfinished Race" is a short story by American Civil War soldier, wit, and writer Ambrose Bierce. The story, dealing with a mysterious disappearance of a man, was first published in The San Francisco Examiner on October 14, 1888 and was included in Bierce's collection Can Such Things Be? (1893). Bierce himself mysteriously disappeared in October 1913.
Found this on Wikipedia. But what happened to Ambrose Bierce? So odd. Thank you!
Oddie,
I can not get enough of you! I love your stories and I plan to get into that "patron" you speak of. Forgive my ignorance, I only visit UA-cam because of you. ❤️❤️!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Jessicaa, that's very sweet of you - much appreciated :)
Hey nice to see your posting today! what a treat
You are indeed the embodiment of elegance and class. Thank you for doing what you do. I do so much enjoy these little out of way oddities.
Many thanks for your kind feedback my friend - Much appreciated :)
This is so good. SO GOOD! I love the antique pictures brought to life... as a big fan of Dickens, and social history of the time.
(There! You said 'vignettes'.... exactly the word I was looking for!)
Alison
Oddie , I look forward to the sound and visual special effects that you add to the photos Surprises me every time and usually makes me smile and shake my head !! Thank You again for the magic you create.
Thanks for the great feedback Gail :)
Much appreciated.
I completely agree, the music and the perfect pictures you use to make your ART is as always.... simply AMAZING! Your fan as always! Deidre (from Michigan USA) 😻
I find your cinemagraphs lend so much vintage feel to your stories. A very lovely touch.
Yay awesome finally got to watch your channel when this video was only 2 minutes old. Love your channel obsoleteoddity you are awesome keep them coming
With each video you upload, your work shows a lot time and effort and that my friends tells us your commitment towards your viewers and for that, we appreciate it!
Thank you so much 😀
You do a awesome awesome job I haven't seen any site near your quality thanks I save yours for when the house is empty and my coffee and cookies are at hand
I absolutely love the way you manipulate the photos to give them life. I love your voice and the content you provide too. Thank you for the many hours you put into each video, your dedication is apparent in each one.
Hello Oddie! I recall seeing this one on Patreon, but it was a while ago. I also love the one you did about the man who disappeared right in front of his family. Stories like this have always fascinated me - anything involving portals leading to alternate dimensions, time slips, etc. The final image at the end is gorgeous! I have a great appreciation for the hard work you put into your videos. I just make simple videos to provide imagery for some of my own music tracks/compositions (so people aren't looking at a blank screen) but even that can be tedious! 😉
Thanks for your very kind feedback Amy! Very much appreciated :)
Keep working on your video editing and you'll get better and better...it's fun too!
You're efforts are absolutely worth it and greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Many thanks for your kind feedback - Much appreciated :)
thank you for all your hard work doing your videos they are very interesting and you read them so perfectly welcome back by the way seems ages since you posted a video
I been listening to videos with David paulides this afternoon and he talks about this exact phenomenon which still occurrs so much .. What a coincidence that you made a video on this very subject... Weird!!
Yes the pictures and your voice really make the stories come to life. Please keep at it . Thank you for all your work . Bless you.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Teresa - very much appreciated :)
Hey Oddy love the new video. That one was fascinating. I can’t recall the specifics about the case of the American farmer that vanished in front of his family and passerby, but I do believe it’s possible there are other dimensions. I really respect the time you take to make the clips life like. looking forward for the next one!! Cheers 🍺🍺
The photos are amazing it makes all the stories authentic and legitimate. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Day after day everything you do is very much appreciated!!
Many thanks for your very kind feedback, happy you enjoyed the presentation - Much appreciated :)
Issue, I am always fascinated when your narratives take a turn toward the paranormal. Thanks for the story. Stay Safe my friend. 🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it Gail :)
Your visual effects are amazing and add quite a lot to the stories! When I first came about your channel I kept wondering how it was done and was fascinated by them. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Love the photos, subtle animations and sound effects...sounds like some of the modern day David Paulides 411 missing cases. Really enjoy all your videos.
Thanks for your very kind feedback - much appreciated :)
The pictures you choose always enhance the story. I appreciate the time you put into the making of each feature. This one was a fascinating mystery.
Excellent story!!!Thank you so much!
Nice upload! It's funny, because, as I was watching this, the whole time I was wondering how you managed to find all the pictures for this. I write stories and for that reason I like to search for pictures to add to the scene I'm trying to create. It's incredibly difficult! You did a great job! Thanks for the upload.
Google and screenshot? That's the easiest way to find all kinds of pics. I found the most astounding ones that way. But beware - some may be copyrighted!
I love how you have added the ambiance fo the pictures. It takes you back to the time. Very well done. I love your voice as well. Perfect eerie factor.
Hi Oddie long time sub here thank you for another great video good bless!
I truly appreciate all your time and hard work Oddie!! Your voice is truly unique and you have a great talent!! I hope that you can be able to use it further such as in doing voice overs or talking books!!
Thank you for another great historical story. The disappearance sounds similar to the David Lang story. A Tennessee man who vanished in front of his family.
Foul play? Or science we don't yet understand?
Time will tell .
Until that time, Thank you, as always, for your hard work and craftsmanship when making these wonderful videos.
Yeah! more please. You special effects are so subtle and very appreciated. Love all the details you add. Enjoyable.
L❤VE OBSOLETE ODDITY'S Channel
The photos were a great choice for this story. Thank you, bye bye!
11.12.19👩💻 2nd time listening.
Very good, again. Lol!
Another fascinating tale! I try to never miss your vids, they're so entertaining and thought provoking. One foolish wish of mine is that you would read bedtime stories in your soothing, expressive voice. I know I'd sleep very well and with sweet dreams after such a treat. Thank you for all you do.
Many thanks for your very kind feedback Cathy - Much appreciated :)
I uploaded Little Red Riding Hood just a few days back.
First day of spring, but I will dim the lights 😊
These little videos are real gems, so well done! Thank you very much! I enjoy them very much!
Intriguing story, due to the fact that we do not know specific details concerning the witnesses of this event, it is extremely difficult to determine what they actually OBSERVED. If they were not paying CLOSE attention to the runner,they would not have seen how he disappeared. They would have had to speculate concerning what could have possibly occurred.
IT was noted that they did not see a hole in the ground. Is it possible that he slipped into a hole and the soft surrounding earth caved in over top of him? (Similar to what happens in a land slide.) I really do not know what happened to this man but I tend to guess that there is a logical explanation. However we sooooo ,love to hear about Bizarre Disappearances.
Thank you for this story.
Yes...we always enjoy everything you do! Thank you!!!!
These disappearances have happened often enough through time that one has to accept the reality of the occurrences. I do believe that there are parallel. Worlds and planes of existence, and that there must be places where they touch at times. So many have happened in plain sight of observers, as this one did, I think it is possible to accidentally fall into a different dimension...and even to get stuck there. It fits so many of the old folk tales as well, where people are transported to the realms of the Fey, or to a different time. There is just so much we don’t yet know about how our universe works that we can appreciate the mysteries of it all.
Great photos on this one Oddie, I loved it, and your hard work really shows. One thing I have noticed is that quite a number of these disappearances happen on roads or paths, possibly there is a factor relating to traffic patterns and levels that triggers the effect. Thank you for this, you made my day.🖤🇨🇦
I don't mind the idea of other parallel dimensions - as long as it's a paradise, but the thought of soul eating creatures with 50 eyes and razor teeth once one flips over...is not so appealing. lol - plus the aforementioned paradise must have quaint inns, fine ales and not forgetting....salt and vinegar crisps :)
Thank you so much Tamarra! I have a great new vintage crime lined up for early next month on Patreon, plus my livestream tomorrow!
I'll forgive you for the typo at the end "you jade my day" ha ha!
xxx
ObsoleteOddity I’m laughing...and blaming auto correct, although I’m not quite sure how they got jade out of made lol.
I’m in complete agreement about the need for life’s little niceties in the other dimensions...I’m not up to confronting Cthulhu if I can possibly avoid such encounters, but there must be some alternate worlds where they haven’t screwed things up as badly as we have. A civilized realm would of necessity have good wine and beer, tasty food that doesn’t mess with one’s health, and lots of nice weather and entertainment.
If you should find that portal please let me know so we can tag along on the adventure. Time may even work differently in the other dimensions, you just never know.
I’m looking forward to the next patron offering, and doing my best to be able to join you on the live feed tomorrow. Thank you for taking such good care of us all Oddie, you are the best.🖤🇨🇦
Indeed the auto-correct is rascally critter, if I don't keep an eye on it constantly, it's channelling spirit writing. lol (because it's certainly not what I intended to write!)
I guess we're all going to find that portal eventually, there is no escape....I'll be heading straight to the quaint inn!
Hope you can make it today, but if it's an ungodly hour at your end, I'll totally understand :)
Bless you Tamarra xx
The stories brought me to your channel. The vintage pictures keep me glued to it. I love looking at old photos! I love collecting them as well ❤️
Seems he was one of the unfortunate ones to have not returned back from a time slip. it could be possible that he appeared into a fatal mishap on the other side... who knows? how frightening to think this could actually happen to any one of us... thank you ObsoleteOddity! ♡⚘
I absolutely love your site! You do an outstanding job!! The photos and background sounds are worth the time. Also, your EVPs are by far the best I've heard ❤️
Thanks for your kind feedback Deborah - very much appreciated.
Hey Friend, excellent. Always are. Always looking for name sign in pictures, scurrying rodent, & your work (assistant) brings everything to life. Along with you, I'm an Obsolete Oddity.
Must be OOG (obsolete Oddity gang,) not pronounced just say letters. 💜
Thanks Oddie! A great story as usual! Love the little dog at the beginning! Your special effects have evolved over the years! Love, love, love!
Great story, thanks!! If you can, put yourself in the place of the gentleman following that saw this. Myself, I would spend the rest of my life going half nuts, trying to figure it out! 🤪
GOOD MORNING ODDIE, THIS JUST POPED UP OF COURSE AS USUAL IT'S WATCHING AND LISTENING WHILE DRINKING MY MORNING COFFEE.
Morning!
Oh, this case is similar to that farmer from Alabama that you have featured before. It bugs me what really happened to these fellows. All those those movies about a portal to another time or dimension rushes to mind and cases like this makes one want to believe that there might be a possibility that another dimension, a parallel universe could exist and at certain times and places tears or weakening of barriers occur making it possible for people from our side to cross or get sucked into it. (Sorry that was long) ☺️
It brings me joy. Thank you for taking the time. I am appreciative of your wonderful storytelling. XOXO
I know what happen. It killed and buried himself vs. doing cardio. Makes sense to me, I will go anything to get out of cardio. 😋
Thank you for another great video. Yours was the first UA-cam channel I commented on. I speak for myself: I appreciate all the work you put in each story. Thank you for another unsettling story!!!
You are a true gentlemen! It shines through even the spookiest tale!! I just recently became a subscriber. I had been looking for a channel just like this and your oddities certainly did NOT disappoint!! Every story is a joy! Thank you my friend!
Thanks for your very kind feedback - much appreciated :)
Listening AND watching this again. Another historical narrative with View Master worthy imagining. Love your work!
Thanks for your very kind feedback my friend - very much appreciated :)
I love your video's and stories you tell. I listen to them while at work when I cant watch. Helps to pass my day. Thank you for your work
You are a very great and creative filmmaker! Cannot tell you how much enjoyment you give, not to leave out the variety of information your videos bring all who are your viewers... thank you for your hard work and devotion!
Thanks for your very kind feedback my friend - much appreciated :)
I’ve always loved a good storyteller. You are so good at it and I could Listen to you for hours like the old radio classics. Nothing is more exciting than communication by the word, the voice and a wonderful vintage pic.
Wow, what a crazy story 🤯🤯. Oddie, you did a great job with the photos in this post and all your others. We appreciate your dedication and hard work for all these oddities 👏👏👏👍💞✨
Glad you enjoyed it Brandy! Cheers :)
Your presentations are EXCELLENT and I always enjoy seeing the moving members of you pictures.
Thanks for your kind feedback Howard - very much appreciated :)
I've known about this one but you do it well. Excellent as always.
Oddy thank you so much for all your efforts. I do enjoy the older vintage stories best and appreciate the effort you make to find appropriate images and the little 'magic' you put into them really adds to the effect. I'am new to your channel and have been enjoying going thru everything.. so glad you decided to start speaking on them.. what a difference! Great job!
Hi, Oddie. I've never commented before, but I have certainly enjoyed your content both on UA-cam and on Patreon.
I have been busy and haven't been watching for a few months. Seeing one of your offerings once again, I just felt the need to express how much I enjoy your work. The animations in each frame, your lovely voice, the little sound effects that you add, and the fact that you have the written story frames (for when I'm sitting in a quiet room with a sickly or sleeping loved one)... I really appreciate you! Thank you.
That's very kind of you Sue - thank you for the lovely feedback and for being a loyal member of my Patreon community :)
Thank you so much for not giving up on UA-cam 😄 Your videos bring me joy, even though the subjects dealt are sad... Your hardwork and dedication, thorough research has kept me hooked to this channel!! Don't ever stop posting! 😍😍
Found this channel during pandemic lockdown. Love it, thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
You are the best storyteller I could listen to you all day! Please keep the tales coming!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All of the details that you add are the things that make you so unique💚 Thank you for all the works you do for the videos! Regardless of the time/length of the individual work, it is Always classy, great storytelling at its best. Best Regards Oddie!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Amy - much appreciated :)
Your pictures and effects do a lot to give your stories a feel of ring there. You also have a voice that adds much to the telling. Thank you for continuing to provide content. Love you
You are an excellent story teller, I enjoy all of your videos, and the photos, I can tell an enormous amount of work went in to them. Thank you.🤗
As always,hats off! Thank you Oddie!
Oddie, I have bin-watched most of your videos. They are fascinating and intriguing. Your voice really compliments the stories.
Wow, thank you! Well there's plenty more on my Patreon if you run out :)
ObsoleteOddity sweet! Look forwarded to educating myself on all that you have! :)
