Give that actress a raise!!

The exorcism actress deserves a fucking award.

What a talented actress! It would be hard for me to stay in character when the historians are there talking about it in present contexts 😂 props to her, give her the next big scary movie roll 👏

That actress playing these parts also played Anne Boleyn in the 2 part series..she is an incredible actress

I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 10 after my first grand seizure. I still remember trying to escape out the bathroom window from the EMTs.. it took four to hold me down enough to sedate. I can't imagine what it must have been like to witness myself in that state..

"We need a white dove..... I got a pigeon..... ........ Ugh, I guess that'll do." LOL

What would probably be even scarier is when people had schizophrenia or something, and thought they were being possesed. So trying to figure out what was going on must have been a nightmare for them :'(

Two nuns were driving through Transylvania one stormy night when a vampire swooped down onto the road in front of them. He opened his cape, bared his fangs and flashed his glowing red eyes as the first nun swerved the car and said "Quick sister! Show him your cross!" So the second nun stuck her head out the window and yelled "Get outta the road you toothy idiot!!!"

I am so glad a channel like this exist, things not taught in school. Well wishes everyone.

I love how much fun it looks like Tony is having this whole time

5:10 "He's got my leg!" "Well, that's because he's after your soul!" I laughed so hard at this, I love her tone xD "...The demon is in the lettuce, or is part of the lettuce, or has transformed itself into a lettuce..." is a bunch of words I never expected to hear together either xD

That's an interesting theory that fairy changeling myths were inspired by autism. As an autistic person myself, I'm not surprised, because we do often seem a bit alien to people who expect us to be typical. It can be hard to communicate before you get to know me. And we look quite typical, not like aliens; so people see our unusual body language and speech, and they're quite confused. The autistic baby does seem typical at first; but by the first year, they start to miss milestones, to display atypical behavior, to communicate differently, leading people around instead of making eye contact, or lining things up instead of playing pretend. Sure, we grow and learn like any child does--but it can be really confusing for parents who expect a typical child and get this odd, routine-dependent, detail-focused child who loves them just as deeply but doesn't understand how to communicate it. These days, we'd want to get the child some occupational and speech therapy, teach them to communicate, to cope with the world. Back then, they might have thought the child wasn't even human. I'm so very glad I was born in modern times. At least now they only make up stupid ideas about vaccines. I mean, granted, it's pretty insulting that people don't get their kid vaccinated because they'd rather want them dead of measles than to turn out like me; but at least they acknowledge I'm a human, not a fairy changeling.

I can't imagine what someone would go through if they have a menal illness that causes visual/audible hallucinations. Poor people 😢

That actress deserves a great paycheck!

Whomever the actress, who acted possessed, was absolutely convincing, and her acting is superb. I just LOVE hearing about how people lived like, how they thought, what they believed, and everything else from the Elizabethan Era to Victorian Era, and from the UK to Australia, and from Europe to America, and even Asia. God bless all of you at Absolute History, all of your subscribers, and all of your families. Please take care of yourselves and those around you.

This guy is so entertaining

At the white cloud segment 🤣 ad breaks in for Jimmy Johns smokin kickin chicken sandwich😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Necromancy is summoning spirits of the dead. It has virtually nothing to do with demons. The type of magic used to summon demons is called Goethia

I’m not superstitious but I’d still never perform a demon summoning spell

The actress was absolutely stunning such dedication

Looking forward to watching this. I was forced to see a” biblical counselor“ years ago and was told my depression was bc I let in demons and so they did an exorcism on me. My parents paid for this. It was…. awkward, but only bc demons aren’t real, but depression is.

Strongly-held mistaken beliefs are dangerous to this day.

I had an extremely religious great grandmother. I suffer with epilepsy. I was a preemi and wasn't expecting to live. Obviously i did. Anyway from the day i was born i had seizures and you can imagine what was going through her head at the time. She tried to convince my parents that i needed to have an exorcism done. My parents told to go get one herself. From that day on till the day she died i wasn't allowed in her home as i was the devil child. She called me an abomination 😂 depending on how bad my seizures are i can hust be out of it for a few hours or a day ive ended up not being able to talk. For 8weeks. That was a bad one. Or just jumbled words. Religious beliefs can be good and bad depending on the mental state of a person. I certainly would be some who got exorcised or even killed back then. Scary stuff. Thank goodness i live in this time period.

Some of these “possessions” may have been due to Ergot poisoning, from tainted rye grain. It is from this, that LSD was first distilled. While under it’s influence, seizure type events can occur and people could speak unintelligibly while in a hallucination. They could also complain of ailments affecting their body under the skin. Sometimes,one could be infected by a fungal infection causing Ascending Lymphangitis where a spreading inflammation of the lymph system becomes evident through the skin along with the area being hot from the body’s white blood cells trying to fight the infection, such infections can arise from a small thorn prick. In this condition, one can also feel as though something is crawling under the skin.

so if I was a medieval kid I could've gotten out of eating my veggies by saying they were full of devils?

What an amazing actress playing the possessed! Outstanding acting!!!!!

Brings new meaning to the devil's lettuce

Fascinating how some of these creatures became to be seen as mythology and not real while others the belief in them still remains and belief in them is accepted.

I've always thoughtof fairies of narcissistic and argumentative, but not necessarily evil. If you tell them a bunch of good things about themselves they'll do something for you, according to the legends I've heard

Tony: bite the chest of this dead (dove) pigeon for its blood? No biggie. Also Tony: THE SKIN OF A DOG IN HEAT ?!?! That’s just weird.

What happens when a demon is inside you .you force them to pay rent

That actress is giving an absolutely stellar performance but I love the guy casually patting her head when she sobs

As a practising witch (folk magick) and an anthropologist, I really appreciate this documentary. Especially on folk spirits, because currently they are taken completely out of context by witchtok. The Faes got really controversial lately, because these people, who say they are "working" with them, don´t do their research at all and make them as these sparkly creatures as you would sometimes see in Barbie movies.

So glad I stumbled upon this channel! I love learning about things like this!!

If the love spell doesnt work, it's got to be the pigeon.

Love this series ! Wish there were more !

Tony Robinson has to be one of my favorite presenters of all time

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW BABIES WERE BURNT TO DEATH AND I GOT AN AD THAT SAID ‘DONT WORRY, NO BURNS. PHILLIPS’ IM WHEEZING

Thank God for science.

That baby is so so so freaking adorable. That actress needs an Oscar

I love him in videos💓💓

The Waterhouse painting depicts the abduction of Hylas (one of the Argonauts) by nymphs, when they had stopped to replenish their water supply on their voyage.

So much stuff I had no idea about.

13:03 Dude was having a bit of a giggle there lol

The devils lettuce, lol

Maybe the baby was fine and mom had postpartum depression

There are beliefs that seriously violate more human rights than I can count! 😳🤦‍♀️

You know you'd think that people would be beyond absurd and murderous beliefs, but today's era of politics has opened my eyes. Mankind's knowledge may have increased, but we have the same genes as those who did those horrible things.

This was a fantastic acting she was absolutely amazing as a possed victim 👹 lots of great information on this intriguing subject. 😉⭐

Wow, this one isn't stuffed to the brim with adds! That's a first for absolute history lol

Oh this guy is a favorite. He gets into it n has fun.

We love a supernatural episode

Good call on having the actress wear the creepy contacts during the exorcism scene 👏 it really made it that much better

What’s “funny” is that the people who don’t approve of religion now believe in psychics, fairy existence, ghosts etc.

It's time that supernatural history should be looked at through a scientific lens

Hello! One of the first! If you read this! So cool! Love the actress talent!!

props to the amazing actress!

Imagine going to sell some eggs then getting home feeling sick and having your family try to force a horrible drink down your throat then putting you above the fire. Then when you get a bit better you still have no appetite or maybe you're angry at your family for putting you in danger when you were sick so you refuse to eat and your husband kills you for it. Like dang women couldn't even breathe without being accused of being witches, changelings, demons etc.

I can't help but feel a little heartbroken for both Brigit Cleary and her husband. Of course her death was horrid, but when you have these thousands of years of belief to back up your conviction that she was an imposter, it's hard to judge him. Moreover the account of him then going to the fairy fort to wait for her just about made me cry. I can't even imagine the soul crushing feeling that must have come when he eventually realized that the thing he killed was actually still his wife.

Ran out one night to get some medicine for the house. , Flu was hitting everyone. The store was only a couple blocks away and i really wasn't on top of my game for driving. My town was notorious for 'quaint' lighting as in bad lighting. The night was very foggy. Usually this doesn't happen at night in my area. I became so disoriented. I became frightened. that day i understood some of the challenges our ancestors could deal with.

I was right as a kid, vegetables ARE the devil,lol

All this talk of "our ancestors" All you need to do is head to a local evangelical fundamentalist "church" to see all this alive and flourishing, and making tons of tax free cash.

What the ritual does is make you emotional.

It annoys me that she cut that apple that way. But great acting! 👏👏👏

I bought and read The Witches Hammer.

Poor Bridgett :(

This is masterpiece I wanted to be a actresses than I found out that I'm to far for that

The two have been fighting ever since.

Looks like alcohol withdrawal. It’s known that everyone drank like fishes! Love the show!

Pagans...Priests, I still see the bell, book and candle, herbs in a cauldron, and potions. Interestingly the only difference is theology and/or agenda. Perfect! As always, we redheaded women are reminded of how we were treated. Always a good show, tho...

Please tell me that wasn't a real pidgeon 🥺

Where can I get a hat like that?

I cant believe such superstition still exists, in regard to demons.

What were the names that we were supposed to write on our drawing in order to bring a lover to you? Asking for a friend…

How that actress didn’t burst out laughing I don’t know.

Actress was fantastic. Hope that wasn't a real pigeon they killed.

Edel Meade has a beautiful song about the murder of Bridget Cleary

Being American I know our folklore pretty well. My ancestry says I'm from British isles eastern European. So thankfully I'm learning a lot of British history through this channel Being a lover of all history this is like all I watch lately some of these I've heard the last one with the women I know of this story. It's crazy if you're being thrown into a fire 🔥 your going to be scared and in those times that lady knew her life was in danger. Sad killed by her own family

Well he's a GOOD priest

What if you just cooked the demon a good meal, watched a jolly show on tv.... Rubbed its feet, combed its hair.... And showed it love. WHAT IF???

Necromancy is not conjuring demons. Necromancy is defined as: "the supposed practice of communicating with the dead, especially in order to predict the future." The "act of evoking, calling upon, or summoning a spirit, demon, deity or other supernatural agents, in the Western mystery tradition" is Evocation.

I have heard that if you wrong a fairy or fairies or fairies, they can bring blight to your farm or cause you to have accidents. If you make peace, then they will reverse the spell.

40:00 actress who plays anne boleyn

Cmon mom- I can’t eat my salad, there’s demons in it. Obviously.

So...they were rooting out kids with obvious genetic accidents and severe psychological issues.... some sort of natural selection based on folklore? (Animals will also abandon offspring that is not quite right and unlikely to survive to adulthood/ as an adult, thus preventing more suffering.)

I guess I'm the only one here who believes in the possibility of actual possession.

Probably happened because I got prayed to have a miracle.

The white cloud could've been gas and it gave her a trip or was it a spirit and she was open to it but it reminds of the girl in Mexico but it was a black cloud that witnesses saw and it went in her and it was after more stuff happened to her until she died.

"I touch your here" "I touch you here"

I think I'm possessed by a dust demon. A thundering noise comes out of my nether regions and leaves a skidmark on my drawers. Help ?

The husband looks crazy

legend that actress is

How does one drive the devils out of lettuce lol

I'm from the other side of the world. Yet, some of these folk beliefs are oddly similar to my culture. How curious.

How does she change her voice like that tho

💪🏻😎

This is one of those times I regret being subscribed to both Timeline _and_ Absolute History.

That actress is badass.... put her in a movie!!

Would be interesting to know where all those ideas came from. If you never heard of an elefant or a lion, then how would you know what it looks like if someone say he or she saw one

I can tell you right now, between seizures I feel like I'm on LSD and when I'm unconscious in grand mal i scream and speak nonsense jibberish and it definitely looks like the devil's got me
