Sleep paralysis is a well known, normal but disturbing, sleep phenomenon. The body is asleep while the mind is awake. And it causes the sense of horror we have blamed on "evil" for as long as we've been here. Usually a sense that an evil presence is menacing us.
I agree. Horrible experience indeed. I had a few, each one more violent than the last. 😰 Why is it always despair and frightening though? Why can't it be good experiences?

Sleep paralysis could reasonably explain some of what is described here, but *plenty* of this can't be explained through sleep paralysis alone, because she was wide awake. I suspect she likely had some kind of mental illness.
Amazing tale made even more so that there was someone there to transcribe it daily in the late 1300’s. Thank you for sharing these tales of history. Many Blessings All 🙏🇺🇸

I loved this video especially, thank you so much. I love the spooky vibes. Also, can you do a video on Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table please? I thought that would be a great idea for you, and please give this guy a break on his pronunciation 😇.
She had a history of self harm (a belt so tight her skin grew over it) and lived in extremely stressful times. Of course we can’t say for sure as there’s no proof regarding the existence or non-existence of god(a) but it really seems like she made a schizophrenic disorder. Religious hysteria was extremely common. Still is. DV may have been a thing with how common it was though the cut off part in your video makes it sound like her husband died. Great video! I’d like to add that you shouldn’t sweat not being able to pronounce words. It’s important to try, especially with names, but your tongue didn’t develop to make those sounds. Those who get offended are just pompous. Keep up the awesome work!
@1:54 you say "... Her grief..." But you never said why she would have been grieving. I went back three times. What grief? Did her husband pass? Did she lose a child? Were they financially ruined? You never say.
This sounds like a poor woman who suffered from Schizophrenia lacking not only the care needed to live a normal life but abused by religious beliefs that likely did nothing but reinforce the delusions and hallucinations.
Made up because what the hell else are you gonna do when your life is selling thatch and being poor. I think she was schizo because these stories of demons line up with schizophrenia a bit too well.
@@iii___iii Demons who are invisible and whose powers are identical to schizophrenic hallucinations, or cause minor accidents like spilled cups or candles blowing out which could absolutely not just be wind.
As the story in this video unfolded, couldn't help but pity this poor woman who was obviously severely mentally ill. Glad our collective knowledge concerning mental wellness is coming around in our generation, to remove any stigma attached and encouraging all to seek help. It's okay not to feel okay. We don't judge those with, say, diabetes or dyslexia, so why degrade those who see the world differently because of trauma, brain chemistry, or a host of other reasons. Who knows- maybe one day, science will concretely prove the existence of other dimensions, and the concept of a "demon attack" won't sound so crazy and out-there.
I appreciate you telling the story from her point of view, and not talking down to the listener about religious belief. She sounds like she was a very sincere woman. Sometimes when I walk through downtown Philadelphia I feel like I'm in the middle ages. It has become a madhouse. I believe a return to the middle ages may be just around the corner. Things are getting weirder and weirder. Authorities seem to have lost control of our municipality.
Is something missing? You said she collected straw, then you mention her grief, from what? Demonic possession, when did that start? I think you missed a line or two.
They look like stock images and wikipedia images. Googling and checking what services like storyblocks/canva offer in the medieval vibe. Also as long as its not used for paid or brand advertising you can you whatever you find on free stock images websites (which are plenty). If you want them for personal use then just google medieval drawings/paitings, book art or something along those lines.
Sounds like her thatch roof became moldy .. Hence all the hallucinations.. This didn't happen till she moved using muddy thatch would just cause a lot of spores and can cause ordeals of dreamlike vividness. She also isn't far from a swamp so a good chance there is methane as well in the air causing memory issues.
When I read the books before the first movie came out, I thought she pronounced her name "Herman" and I was like "No wonder she's getting bullied by Ron"
For all her afflictions, Ermine seems to have been an exemplary character. She had a humble, compassionate spirit and was an inspiration to her biographer and the wider community. Her demonic visitations were delusional but could also be interpreted as an expression of deep psychological pain and grief, both for her own personal loss as well as for the viciousness, selfishness, greed and cruelty shown by human beings in every era. We can look down on the medieval age from the lofty heights of the 21st century but perhaps we should give credit to poor Ermine for her sincere spirituality, an attribute lacking in our own materialistic and often soulless way of life.
Actually «Reims» is pronounced essentially like the word «Rinse». This is a pretty disparity between spelling and prononciation, even for French, but alas it is true

The actual best practice to exercise demons was the invention of the video recorder.

Well. Just like today.
I am almost positive the French people created their language for no other reason than to giggle at the rest of the world trying to speak it.
If not to giggle, then definitely to sneer aristocratically down their noses at ze uncultured English peasants 😉
British people partially falleded in French language trap but fortunately engineered it understandable.
It's the rest of the world who should be giggling at French speakers.

Your process of trying to pronounce 'Ermine' is like the exact opposite of my first attempt at 'Hermione'.
When I read the books before the first movie came out, I thought she pronounced her name "Herman" and I was like "No wonder she's getting bullied by Ron"
"Errmeenn de Renss"
(you don t say the M in " Reims")..
Incredible! me ,french, i do watch your channel to learn something about french history!!

Ok started watching at 666 views, hopefully not a sign. Great video as always.
That stock footage of the skin peeling hand holding the half loaf of bread in the wheat field is oddly unsettling... just saying
2 hours later..... I’m dying 🤣nice touch
6:30wow you don't even need demons to act out scenes like that anymore. You can just Google a simple word and there it is
There is a book on this, very similar title. The book cover is the same as the video thumbnail. Easy to find, too bad it wasn’t cited.
Today she simply would make Videos on TikTok. :)
"a lion that roard the whole night " Oh boy the poor woman really had it bad
She probably lived near a CSX or Norfolk Southern marshaling yard where up to 20 locomotives are idling at any given time. LOL.
If this woman had the BFG 9000 she wouldn’t have had any of these problems.
There's no way a medieval woman would walk around with her shoulders showing like that!!
This mess here, along with the still insane beliefs of the modern church, is what makes me resent religion.
Her story points out symptoms related to Schizophrenia.
I'm so glad I can always use drugs as an excuse.🥴
I have weird dreams, had sleep paralysis a few nights ago and thought I was getting bummed 😭
Schizophrenia, aggravated by stress and fear. Or maybe she ate bread made with grain that was contaminated by ergot, which could cause such symptoms.
Try this: Ehrmeen de Reyms. That's the correct pronounciation. Props for actually trying your best! 😀🙌
I must say, the devil was a very wordy being. She seen schizophrenic to me.
