- Oddie's Historical Feature - Episode 24
In August 1892, Fall River, Massachusetts Sunday school teacher Lizzie Borden comes across the grisly murder scene of her father Andrew, who has been brutally killed with a hatchet. Local law enforcement arrives, also discovering the body of Abby (Durfee) Borden, the stepmother of Lizzie and her older sister Emma.
Did Lizzie do it? And if so....why?

I want to thank all those who asked about Erin on my video about Lizzie Borden, and sent her strength and support.
Erin sadly passed away on September 3rd. 2019
She requested that I cover the Lizzie Borden case at that time, (2017) and I gave her a shout at the end of it.
She started out as a subscriber and ended up a dear friend.
Always positive and uplifting. She never let her illness get her down and I will always remember her fighting spirit.
I shall miss her dearly.
Wishing you much love on your new journey Erin
I am so sorry you lost your dear friend, Oddie :(. May Erin rest in peace
Oh no! I'm so sorry, Oddie. God bless Erin's soul. May perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace, Amen

I'm sorry about your friend.
I am not seeing gore or any gruesome images this channel is about history, literary art and oddities and I love it.Keep up the marvelous documentaries. .more power to this channel.
Thanks for your very kind feedback - very much appreciated :)
I know. Thats why I love this channel!
Is about history, literally art and more power to this channel.
Amen l Third or Fourth that GO MR. ODDIE!!!!
TH-cam needs to leave horror alone esp when it comes to cases like this. I bet it’s hard to ummm make videos now.
It's not that we love horror.. we want information about peoples lives and actual Crime Scenes.. Please Don't Change a Thing !!!
Exactly!
We want information about people lives and actual Crime Scenes.. please Don't Change a Thing!!!

THIS IS THE MOST COMPLETE VERSION I HAVE HEAR OF THE LIZZIE BORDEN STORY. I had never heard about her lesbian relationship or the incest. Thank you for being so thorough.
Thanks for your very kind feedback - very much appreciated :)
sleepgrandma depression addiction.same here.
I had heard about the incest possibility before but never even thought of a lesbian twist till the last movie that came out last year.
If you watch the episode on The Lizzy Borden house on the show Dead Files, you will see that Amy sees the incest happening. Not only did her father molest her, Lizzy and her sister do "stuff." Very messed up family. So sad.
Stephanie Harlowe covers it in detail and very well.
My dear viewers, I would
like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a safe end to 2017.
Looking forward to your salubrious company in 2018! Let's see what
wonders TH-cam has planned for us then :) ...already before I
publish this video, YT has a review on it :-/
Btw, I have not only the
'cult castle' planned in my rambles, but a visit to a Swiss version
of a thrift/junk store...also Camera Girl & I visit a fleamarket
in Morocco!
Stay tuned!!
ObsoleteOddity Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Sir.
Warmest wishes to you Oddie!
ObsoleteOddity ...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours Oddie. Thank you so much for your Beautiful videos. ❤
ObsoleteOddity Merry Christmas to you and your family with best wishes for the new year. To the viewer in the hospital (didn't want to misspell her name) all the best wishes and prayers to you. Cancer has affected most people in one form or another so I know there are many who stand with you through your struggles. Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to all my fellow fans of Oddy as well!
All the best to you and yours as well this Holiday Season. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us and providing us with such a unique and creative form of entertainment. It is truly an honor.
You mean "protective of her OLDER sister" Emma was actually protective of Lizzie. I just got very confused of that one part but great doc.
Thought I was the only one who noticed
I think he might mean that Emma was protective of Lizzie, her YOUNGER sister, and just got the 2 names mixed up. (There was also a baby born in between Emma and Lizzie, but it died I believe at birth.)
I noticed the mix-up too. Emma was older by about 9 years. But that doesn't mean Lizzie wasn't protective of her older sister.
Sometimes it's a younger sibling that is more protective of other siblings, younger & older. My grandmother was such a sibling.
@@Kimmie33166 i saw it right away now that gets me suspicious lol
I think he meant Emma felt protective of Lizzie.
Loved the haunting music and the animations of the old photos
You have the voice perfect for audiobooks.
Facts
Yes!
I love his macabre voice 😂
Much better than James Earl Jones.💯
With no hard evidence no person should be convicted of a crime. I recently had to fill out a form for jury trial. They have no idea how serious I take even the smallest crime. If I do get called in and need to serve, I will not listen to hearsay or rumors. I certainly will not say guilty without substantial proof. I am sick of our justice system getting away with putting people in jail just because one lawyer uses words better than another. Sorry for my rant. Love your videos.
Goodness, you’re just reporting authentic history. I see nothing gory about them. I love the stories and wish TH-cam would not censor your videos.
Blessings to you. And thanks for doing these.
and Emma died 9 days after Lizzie - or something like that. This was wonderful! Thank you so much! Erin - thank you for requesting this, love and light to you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!
eccentrk954 Yeah that's true. Weird isn't it .
My mum is having cancer surgery today. I’m taking refuge in Oddieworld while l wait. Bless you Oddie. PS Elizabeth Montgomery was related to Lizzie Borden, which I found fascinating considering she portrayed her rather wonderfully in a biopic🤗❤️
If you would be so kind, I would appreciate a video on Jack the Ripper as 2018 will mark the 130 anniversary of this gruesome happening.
I wood love a video of Jack the also. Emma get better. I also would like narrator to know that like true facts on cases.
it is nice to hear facts and not the TV version everyone accepts as told.
I've been analyzing this case for decades. Read the book by Edmund Pearson, who was there at the time, and annotated the case at court.
Like with Bathory, I've seen people try to claim Lizzie was 100% innocent and "just a victim of the evil patricary." I don't believe it for a second. I believe, like Bathory, Lizzie was guilty. Amongst other things her father killed all her pigeons the day before the murder. He was a cruel, greedy man and Lizzie probably finally broke.
Eh There are some pretty convincing arguments for Bathory. I wouldn't call myself a feminist, but the arguments seem pretty plausible in her case.
I think Andrew's son killed him and Lizzie knew then covered for him.
@@danamichelle1290 Nope, Lizzie did it.
If you cross-reference evp spirit box sessions from the Borden household it was a conspiracy. The dad's ghost implicates Lizzie. Abby's spirit names Lizzie's maternal uncle John as her hit man, but she still alludes to a Lizzie as the mastermind.
I don’t know why they would target you . You’re telling historical stories. They are tastefully told !
Hello Becky, thank you for your very kind feedback, very much
appreciated
I don't watch horror at all! This channel mostly presents historical crimes, mysteries, eccentrics and you were giving enough to share your own families experience with a haunting, which isn't horror. As I think I commented in that video, many various members of my own family see spirits, going back many generations. I'm definitely willing to do whatever is necessary for your channel to not be effected by TH-cam new rules.
The eccentrics are my favorite!
You are right... this is a history channel, not horror. All of Oddie’s features are from news reports, not his imagination. If you want horror go watch Friday the Thirteenth or some other made up story designed to scare you or make you ill. Oddie’s stories (except for maybe one) are written to share historical events which no one else talks about. If we all stop calling it horror (including Oddie) then maybe TH-cam will monetize the videos.
These are news stories which Oddie has researched and put to amazing videos. All of the stories were at one time or another covered by newspapers or television outlets. If they were seen by the public in those venues, then why are they considered horror on this channel? If Oddie’s work is being harassed by TH-cam, then they should demonetized all of the news channels which originally broadcast these stories as headlines.
Thanks for your wonderful support & feedback my friends !
MizzAugust I know that feeling too, I once read about a serial killer and it triggered my depression, I was unable to sleep adequately for 6 months, I always found the horror genre fascinating but repulsive yet Oddie makes me want to watch horror because it feels like someone is protecting me.
This is not horror. It is slightly creepy but mainly history in pictures. I wouldn't watch horror either but I love the slightly creepy true historical tales.
Perfect story telling. I can't get enough of this channel
Thank you so much, very appreciated 🙏
They're more like artsy documentaries, which are important. The internets gone mad.
I adore your videos!
Just an informational aside: Lizzie was a bit of a kleptomaniac, the local stores knowing to bill her father if she came in and merchandise went 'missing.' It wasn't until money and jewelry came up missing from Abby's belongings that Andrew started locking the doors. Great video as always! Happy Christmas, Oddie!
Kristin Jenkins yes, I had heard that as well, among the other stories that were going around about the family.
Kristen Jenkins I forgot about that! Yes, I heard that she did like to get those "5 finger discounts" LOl
doesn't make her a killer. I believe she didn't kill her parents.
Andrew and Abby were not the only people to die in the house one of Lizzie Aunt's killed her 2 kids and hung herself in the house.
Karrah Dedominick thats interesting. Ive always wondered if maybe she wasnt abused after andrew married abby and thats why she resented her so much. There seems to be something going on here. And maybe it was just her history and past trauma that led her to become detached and thats how she was able to commit the murders.
Love how you bring the photos to life
Dear Erin, What a beautiful person you are! I am a cancer survivor of 23 years and I wish you a speedy recovery! Oddity thank you for this great video with more info than I have ever heard.
How dare TH-cam treat your videos that way. They are so above the Mark. Keep us posted.
Carol Woolf I'm lost. What are they doing?
Prayers to Erin. It is so sad that people steal your hard work. I have just recently found your channel and I really enjoy it. I have never been on Patreon but going to check it out. Thank you for all your hard work. God bless you.
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback.
thanks for your prayers for Erin.
Erin sadly passed away on September 3rd. 2019
Being from Mass, I’ve heard this story many times but I’m very excited to hear it from you! Thank you, Oddie! Happy holidays 💕
It stinks what Google is doing to youtube. 😡 Such great content creators and all of them are being hit. It is also not just in horror genre. It’s in all of them.
Melinda S. Yes. Even family vloggers.
They are cutting off their noses to spite their faces. If they keep demonetizing videos, people will stop creating content. With less and less interesting content, people will fall away from watching. Then how will TH-cam make money?
@cheryl knlght It is one way to control us. Do not allow people to know the truth. I And the end goal is to reduce the global population to one billion. One way to achieve this is through control. Big Gates openly said it. The way to reduce the global population to one billion is through vaccine, healthcare GMO. How long this will take time will tell.
Make the population so dumped up they can not think for them selves and they ask no questions. Bring the moral systems down to vanity, it is all about me attitude, eventually leads to depression of young children who will all be medicated. There will be no one on one communication, vertical reality will be the norm. We will be replaced by robots. Normalize perversions such a pedophiles. By the time this all becomes a reality we will become dehuminised.
So thoughtful to dedicate your video to Erin. I m sure it ment greatly to her. Thank you for investigating the case of Lizzy Borden. Very professionally done . I appreciate.
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊
Interesting to me. I stayed 2 nights at the Borden house. One night in the Abby murder room and one in Lizzie's bedroom. Also visited exterior of Maplecroft, which was for sale summer of 2017.
Oddie only a little context problem in first narration page. Says that Lizzie very interested in younger sister. I believe you meant Emma was interested in her younger sister Lizzie. Thank you for all you work.
How sweet of you to dedicate this to Erin. Erin, dear, I've been dealing with metastatic breast cancer for seven years so my heart goes out to you. Endless treatments, frustrations, financial ruin, and pain. I just got out of the NIH hospital in Bethesda this week after some procedures. Back to work where I can enjoy more of these Obsolete Oddity videos. God bless you, Erin. My heart really does go out to you. I understand what you are facing.
I send you love and light Carol, hope the sun shines for you again very soon.
I have visited the Borden house. It still stands today and professional actors reenact the investigation. The neighborhood is much changed, and the house now has indoor plumbing. If one ever gets the chance to visit, it is a nice afternoon take in.
Thank you Oddie for these wonderful stories. True Crime is a better title for your posts.
I also did not know about skipping the ads and will watch thru.
My prayers go out to Erin and her family on her passing.
Here's to a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Can you visit Maplecroft, too?
I visited the lazy boyden house it stands today preferable actors including the investigation the neighbors is much chancged, and the house now has indoor plumbing. If one ever gets the chance to visit, it is a nice afternoon take in. Thank you Oddie for those who wonderful stories. True Crime is a better title for your posts. My prayers go out to Erin and her family on her passing. Here's happy and healthy new year
@@tayloranderson7547 I lived a couple blocks away back in the 80's before they unboarded it. Went to tour it in 2006. I stepped on the spot where the mom died and it's the one time the hair on the back of my neck ever stood up.
It is really lovely. I was born in FR. I went to private school down the street from the Borden house & the other house she moved to is near Charlton Memorial hospital where my sister works; they’re both lovely! The money they had in those days! My nana was acquaintances with the maid, and she said ‘Lizzie was a spiteful spoiled girl’
lol...I guess if I had the money they had I’d be spoiled too- minus the spite! ☺️
This is one of my favorite stories, I'm really happy you covered this one, Oddie! I actually first learned about this as a kid, my birth mother taught me the famous poem about Lizzie:
Lizzie Borden had an axe
Gave her father forty whacks
when she saw what she had done
she gave her mother forty one
Supposedly from what I heard if you say this poem in a mirror three times Lizzie's ghost appears, that kind of thing, lol. Anyway this video was very in depth and wonderful, thank you very much for making this! I hope to get to the Lizzie Borden museum someday, it's on my bucket list for sure.
Raymond Duncan lol this made me laugh, thank you for that. I imagined it in my head and it was pretty hilarious.
She killed her step mother first then father.
Lizzie borden had an axe
Gave her mother forty wacks
When she had seen what she had done
She gave her father forty one
Why? Why do I always end up watching your videos at 1 am? Why do I always do this to myself?!
Because you love creepy videos at 1 am! :)
Always best after dark with the lights out!
You are not the only one
😂😂😂Me too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for this, Oddie, and for your dear subscriber, Erin, who requested it. I have always been fascinated by the Lizzie Borden case. This was a great early Christmas present!
I discovered your channel a few months ago. While I love all of your videos, I especially enjoy your narrated versions. Your narration gives your videos a personal touch; I am free to close my eyes and relax, letting your voice paint the pictures and images for me. And coming from a background in radio broadcasting, you have a wonderful voice! It’s soothing, calming, theatrical, and even a bit ominous at times.
Yours is definitely in my top 10 favorite TH-cam channels. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks for your wonderful support & feedback my friend.
I've never viewed your videos as horror. I've always seen them as education in the Odd and Mysteries of life. Yes some of them are horrific in real life, but I mean its the part of history that we need to know! I hope it changes so we can continue to enjoy these amazingly done videos.
Same--they may be somewhat macabre, but they're not really horror. I'm a horror fan and trust me, this is MILD.
Yes I try to keep it mild to beat the censor...but who knows nowadays what YT classes as horror? lol
Hopefully, when they hire more people, they'll review a little more closely. It seems like they're widely trawling right now.
I love your videos, you are wonderful!!
Absolutely I agree.. very much educational it's good to know these things.. it's a plus how voice super soothing 😊
Lizzie did it! I’m sure - have read numerous books/info about her, another good presentation Oddie 😁😁
Hello again Oddie!
It's JS Matthew! I was born in Fall River and I lived there for many years. I moved back and forth from the next town over, Somerset, back to to Fall River, but I pretty much always lived in the Fall River area. This is where I was raised. I still live here today. I pass the "Borden" area almost daily.
Fall River has a great history from the Industrial Revolution and the great Mills that created clothes, rope, and garments in American history. We still make military clothing today!
This industry includes New Bedford Massachusetts, (which is still one of the biggest fishing ports in the US) and many other smaller towns throughout the Eastern New England region, mostly along the coast and the Taunton River.
I live less than 20 minutes from the main house that the Borden's were murdered. Most people don't realize that the Borden's actually owned several properties as the family was very wealthy. (We still have the "Borden Mills" complex that it's still in use today, for other purposes). Those are some of the mills that Mr Borden ran. Check it out.
There are a few movies about this tragedy, many not that accurate, but this was indeed, the first biggest mainstream murder in the news in America.
Oddly, I'm proud to say I live here...
JS Matthew~
PS send me a link to Erin at Providence hospital if she wants to. I live 20 minutes from there and I can either send a card, donation, or a visit if she's up for it. Pass it on...
p.p.s. as a freelance writer myself, Google is getting out of hand... Selfish bass terds
ppps. Thanks Oddie! Keep going. Don't give up!
You are amazing, the amount of time it must take to research these old historical crime mysteries and to remake them is a credit to you. Your voice is so clear and precise, thank you for enlightening us with your wonderful videos.
Thank you for your kind feedback Rosalba - very much appreciated :)
@@ObsoleteOddity WOW!!!!.....love the way you can tell a REAL STORY. PLEAS Do one on Jack the Ripper. I`m soooo looking forward to it. Thank you soooo MUCH. By the way....... I LOVE your voice🤗🤗🤗🤗
I loved seeing your cat at the end as well as the beautiful snow falling on those Christmasy trees 🎄
Dear Erin, sending prayers! Merry Christmas Oddity and all the fans!
Another wonderfully informative video. Erin, sending you prayers, love, light and blessings.
You've hit the nail on the head: it's all about the dollars! I will write to TH-cam about their unfortunate decision to limit the contents of your videos.
Thanks my friend, but it's not worth writing, because your mail won't reach anyone that matters, they'll just delete it.
Merry Christmas to you and to Erin too. And the Hospital, nurses and doctors.
Erin Curtis. Thank you for requesting Lizzie Borden! It is such a well known story that I forgot that Oddie could make a video out of it. I think he did an extra special job just for you. The blood around the photos were a nice touch, don’t you think? That may have been the first time we saw that. See, just for you. Be well! Enjoy your holidays. Be sure to watch the video until you have it memorized. That will give Oddie lots of views before the day is out.
Great job, Oddie. I knew you had a beautiful black cat, but I did not realize she was your muse. Such an important role! Your office is just as I imagined, maybe a little neater:) . Keep making videos! I hope that everyone would support you on Patreon, if needed. I still consider your work to be historic and not horror. If our world was filled with murders and deaths that were not gruesome, the evening news would have nothing to report. Your videos are just reporting to us stories of deaths which happened before most of us were born. You are a reporter like Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite. The events are researched from news clippings and other reports, so then why doesn’t TH-cam treat your channel like CNN or MSNBC? Your videos are on that level of reporting and should be treated as such. Don’t let them lump you into the horror category. You are better then that.
Thanks for your wonderful & always entertaining feedback my friend. Bonchellini is very proud of her role, even though she's often napping on the job...and still expects a kitty cookie at the end of her shift. :)
Yes I too consider my videos historic, but because of the crime scene images that I include, and other creepy filters; YT reviewers would only see it as horror/violence.
YT is cutting costs I guess - it's called the 'Ad-Apocalypse'. I can't see anything positive stemming from this policy...it's just another wave of censorship that they force upon us. The whole thing is out of control.
NTV Online yes a big thank you to whoever suggested this I've been waiting for this one as it's local to me!
NTV Online sending lots of love
Sarah Read I’ve always wondered what the Borden house was like. I’ve seen a show that proved it was not haunted. But, none the less, I would still like to see it. I heard that it was a B&B now. At least you can drive by the house every once in a while.
Erin Curtis suggested the video. As Oddie mentioned at the end, she is a long time viewer who is currently fighting cancer. She has brought ObsoleteOddity to all the nurses on her floor. They must have a great fan club. A few months ago, Oddie had Erin do a guest spot on one of the videos. I don’t recall which one off hand. But, it’s really great to listen to her talking about her experience. Oddie is so wonderful that way. Look it up, if you can.
NTV Online Merry Christmas! !!! Have a very safe wonderful New Year!!!
Another top notch video thank you. For my 18th birthday, my mom reserved a room at the Lizzy Borden hotel a year in advance. That was hard because she knew me being born Friday the 13th it may be full. It was pretty cool. Furniture and everything was the same as that day.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback - much appreciated :)
THIS IS THE MOST UNDERATED CHANNEL ON TH-cam! Another wonderful creepy story! Kept me interested through the whole thing even though it’s a well know story! GET WELL SOON ERIN! Merry Christmas Oddy.... 🎅🏽🔪⛄️☠️
Thanks for your wonderful support & feedback my friend.
yup. THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED CHANNEL ON TH-cam!
Oddie, you are so sweet to have created this special request for Erin. My thoughts are with her.
Absolutely captivating! I never knew most of the details that you told about Lizzie Borden and her life. The sounds and music that you use with your videos pull me into the story as if I were actually there. I usually listen but will go back and watch your video. You shared this video over 2 years ago. It was so wonderful to hear about your friend, Erin. I believe your kindness towards her was such a Blessing. I think she is at Peace and still enjoying your stories! I didn't realize that the advert's are how you get paid. I apologize for skipping through them and will allow them to play. Also, thank you for showing us your handsome cat and the lovely Christmas snow.
Thanks for your very kind words Linda - much appreciated :)
Great job Oddie! But you forgot to add the charming skipping rope rhyme that came out of this. "Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her father forty whacks, and when she'd seen what she had done, she gave her mother forty-one."
Wonderful video. I enjoy your work immensely. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
After hearing that Lizzie left her money to animals, I can't say anything bad about her.
Very ashamed of TH-cam policy, as you described it.
Love everything about your videos, including your personality and your cat. Sorry about your friend.
Thanks very much for your kind feedback 😊 much appreciated!
I mean shr murdered her family... So i can see something. Ad about her
A person can love animals and still be a criminal .Hitler adored animals for instance
Thoroughly enjoyed this as usual. Best wishes to Erin & continued healing strength through your current health issues. Wishing you & family a wonderful Christmas from Barbados.
Hello Oddie! Another great story. I'm confused tho....if Emma was born a few years BEFORE Lizzie, that would make her Lizzie's older sister, not her younger sister. Thank u for sharing these stories with us!
oops! lol
Sandy Ell She was her older sister . BTW she also died a few days after Lizzie .
LAM 101 couldn’t live without her, I guess
NTV Online Hi Niffy. Well no there was evidence that Emma began to fear Lizzie and that's why she left .
LAM 101 Oddie said she did not approve of that relationship she was in. I don’t think her sister had anything to worry about. In Lizzie’s eyes, she was probably a victim of her father’s business dealings too.
I do wonder though, if modern forensic techniques were used on the “evidence” would the outcome be different. Would Lizzie been living out her days in prison instead of a nice mansion?
I remember reading, years ago, an article that speculated that the father sexually abused the daughters. One reason being that most of the axe strikes were to the face of both victims.
Exactly.
Criminal psychology states that attacks focused on the victims face is an indication of personal rage against the victim.
Mrs Borden was struck in the back of the head.
Yes that is mostly common to those who have kept their hatred long overdue.. that is why when they already full they might swing the axe anytime..😩😩
@@lorezaberame8197 so...either way its because they were sexually abused? Maybe they were abducted by aliens. There's about the same amount of evidence.
@Chris Estep either way sexually abused or verbal or maybe they suffered a violence they are only one who knows or God knows what they suffered along those years.. Although weldieng an axe a brutal way wont justify what they or she did.. Maybe that is the way for her to claim what justice is.. although that is my opinion.. Good day everyone..😊😊
Well wishing and seasons greetings to our fellow Oddiphile.
Your voice is soothing and nice to listen to regardless of the content.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Aamyie - much appreciated :)
I just found your channel a few days ago and happily binging on them while I enjoy my cold. You are an excellent narrator, you must have an acting background? I think your American accents were very good. What part of GB is your accent from...I'm an accent junkie lol.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Cathy - much appreciated :)
How sweet of you to make a video for Erin. Prayers and positive thoughts to you Erin, may you feel better. Merry Christmas!
I was thinking, "Lizzie Borden? Who doesn't know all we need to know about her?", so I kept skipping past it. But today it came on while I was busy in the kitchen, so I just let it run. Glad I did!!! It was very informative. Enjoyed it very much. I see this was from 2017, I hope your friend Erin has recovered and is in a healthier remission.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback, much appreciated :)
Erin unfortunately passed last year - I have pinned a comment here in her memory.
Very nice video! Love your add ins and antique coloring! Also love all of narrations! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Hope U Tube gives you a break! Your videos are so much better than most!
Love your videos and I think you do a Great job of balancing horror and Gore unlike others!! More than anything you aren't over the top or overly detailed. Please make sure your asking them to review your videos of they're being flagged!! Best of wishes and happy holidays.
One of my favorite murder mysteries! I try to update on any new finding when they present themselves and are made known. A program on the History Channel which has some success, Legend Hunter, did a program on this subject just the other day. It was they that put forth the idea that the killer was left handed. However, in your photo, the damage looked more on the right, but could have been the angle in which the damage was depicted. A shame they keep you from a more definitive picture. Also, it was this show that tied the railways in as a possible way for a serial killer to get around seeing there were so many like murders that happened around that time. They added interesting points, but like your presentation best. Too much jabber and transition in theirs. Good job. On to the next !!
Awe Erin...thanks for requesting this video! I pray this Christmas brings you health and love. I pray for you and will cont to do so💖
Thank you Erin! This was a very good one I want to send you my blessings and that you will be well soon
I've seen 4 videos by you and am hooked !! This side of life has to be talked about also. Sticking heads in the sand does not stop crime.
Your videos are informative,full of facts and historic.
To Erin, I hope you have recovered and doing well !♥️♥️
Thanks so much for your great feedback Denise, very kind of you :)
Merry Christmas Erin! And Merry Christmas to you also ObsoleteOddity. Wishing you peace, love and joy for you and your family.
joni flanakin griffin Don’t forget Oddie’s dog and cat too!
You are the only youtuber that I enjoy listening to when you just ramble on. Your voice is soothing on my bad days. So thank you for uploading. What youtube is doing to youtubers such as yourself (and many others) is unfair. These videos are educational in a way and you aren't sharing anything too horrid. It is a piece of history, it has happened. I don't see what the problem is in sharing this with the world. It opens up to discussion about taboo subjects such as sexual abuse and mental health, neither of which should by any account be taboo subjects. I wish youtube would stop their little game, it is hurting themselves as well as youtubers. They get their money from the people using this site, but the harder they make it for content creators, the less likely it is that people will want to carry on their youtube career.
Anyways, thank you for the update on Erin and for what you just did for her. I hope she will get some joy out of this video and that her Christmas will be wonderful. Cancer is a horrible disease that nobody deserves to suffer from. She looks like a lovely girl with a kind smile and I hope she will keep on fighting for a long time to come.
Thanks for your wonderful support & feedback my friend.
That business of the inter-connecting rooms seems kinda weird. No way to get out of you own room without having to go through someone else's?
What happened to the gifts of property that Andrew gave Abby? Did they go to Abby's relatives or revert back to Lizzie and Emma?
17:08 - Whether Lizzie was guilty or not, good for her and Emma for not letting the town shame them and for bringing artists and actors into their new home!
19:55 - Sorry to hear about this young lady, Erin, being so sick!
You do some of the BEST work that I have ever seen on YT!!! I always enjoy watching your videos, you make them so interesting. Thank you so much for your hard work. Many Blessings, and A very Merry Christmas to you Oddie.
Thanks for your wonderful support & feedback my friend.
I love your videos!!! And the audio!!! Get well soon Erin many blessings! Merry Christmas every one!
I have been binge watching your channel for the last 2 days. All your videos should be monitized! You are right, I don't watch tv any longer, just some Disney videos when the grandchildren come by. I have a nightly news app for keeping up, but tv and cable just don't compare to utube. God bless and keep them coming. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Stephanie - very much appreciated :)
I'm opening a new channel soon because of TH-cam's campaign against me.
They demonetised my whole channel last week. So stay tuned for the announcement.
Aw Erin get well soon! So sorry you are not well!
Positive thoughts and prayers for Erin. Thoroughly enjoyed this idea of yours. Best wishes from my family to yours for Christmas!
I’m so sorry about the ads and I have to apologize for skipping them every time they come on. I honestly had no idea that if you skip them then you don’t get paid! That’s actually kinda crazy but I promise from now on I will let every single one that comes on play through til the end! Cross my heart lol!! 👍🥰
Thanks for your tremendous support Christina - much appreciated! 🎩
Who knew that I must listen to the ads or our hero doesn't get paid ! I will too run the ads thank you for your information.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will now watch all the way through.
@@ObsoleteOddity me too
I did not know this either. No more skipping from me.
Merry Christmas Blessings to you Oddie.
Oddie, this was a great video, I found out things about Lizzie Borden I never knew! I’m praying that Erin feels better soon, and will beat cancer! My husband recently had another cat scan done, he had two nodules on his lungs. The nodules are cancerous, but they have been caught fairly early. His liver and colon cancer are contained for now. This new chemo he’s on is supposed to help his cancer to stay controlled. I want you to know that I support you Oddie, your videos are always great, nothing is bad about them , and I’m sorry you lost some of your revenue. That’s just terrible. Eventually, no one will be here on TH-cam because people have closed minds. Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend. Sending you love and light! I’m also sending Erin love and light and healing hugs. ❤️
Thanks for your wonderful support & feedback my friend.
Shilo Harrington, dear, I hope you don't mind my saying but (as a suggestion), try to get into the habit of saying when you talk about the cancer that's rudely invading your husband (my condolences, cancer absolutely sucks and I wish it didn't happen to anyone), but try saying it like this, "This new chemo he's on is supposed to help THE cancer to stay controlled."
It's not YOUR HUSBAND'S cancer. Your husband doesn't own that cancer and that cancer sure as hell doesn't own him as much as it may try. I say this because I was born with Sickle Cell Anemia and it blows. It really, really sucks. I used to say all the time when I was younger when I'd explain to people, "My Sickle Cell this... My Sickle Cell that, blahbitty blah..." Until someone told me, "That's not your Sickle Cell. It's not something you want, right?" And it hit me. Of course it's not something I want, I wouldn't wish it on my own worse enemy! The pills I have to take for life, the excruciating pain I have to feel when an episode hits, not to mention to pain I feel on a daily basis. I'll never have 100% comfort, I've come to terms with that despite having to sacrifice things I love such as dancing. But it's true, it's NOT my Sickle Cell.
And I find that every time I say it like this, when I don't attach a my + Sickle Cell, it empowers me. It makes me feel in control. I have my days for sure. But I'll never say it's mine every again. And cancer is NOT your husband's. No one asks for that, that's a pest looking for a home to stay in. That's just how I see it and how I see Sickle Cell. Just wanted to share that with you because it kinda broke my heart reading you say it that way. I truly hope everything it working out for the both of you and that treatment is going well, dear.
Mαяsbαяs yes! I’ve recently learned to not claim sickness as mine and it’s pretty amazing in just how it makes you feel
Thanks Erin for requesting about Lizzie Borden. I'm happy you're no longer suffering your long battle anymore, but sad that you're gone. RIP Erin 💐🌺🌼
You cover the most interesting stories and have the best special effects! Thank you. Always enjoy your channel
intriguing alright
I would consider this “true crime” and not “horror.”
True crime can still be horror, tho!!
@@amethyst1826 Very true.
Bonnie Medford
Complete horror.
Would a documentary on WWI or WWII be classified as horror? History and even biographies are full of terrifying events, but I wouldn’t classify them as horror, personally. What is your classification qualifications for “horror?”
Or even a history/ crime overlap...
Your channel is amazing and the knowledge behind the history it just speechless 😶 thank you I love you as a stories teller
I appreciate your positive feedback, thank you 🙏
Best story telling ever! I just discovered this and been binge watching since 4am! Amazing job!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Sandy- much appreciated :)
One of my favorite stories. Thanks Oddie!!!!!!!
I’m a newcomer to your site. I wanted to let you know that your videos are done with care and attention to details unlike so many other folks adding their various “stories” that aren’t worth a second of watching. Thank you for your excellent work
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Susan - much appreciated :)
Please Oddie, let us know how to find you if you stop putting your stories on TH-cam. I enjoy everything you post so very much. It's a reality check to learn that people were the same in the past as they are today, and I truly love how you tell a tale. You also teach us a bit about history, about the economics, the social proclivities, etc. with the stories you choose to tell. BTW - how Do you choose the stories you tell us about?
I am in my 50's. My grandfather was born in 1885 and my grandmother in 1900. I've heard some really great stories from the past. Maybe that's why I like hearing the stories you tell from the past.
Thank-you also for telling a well-known story to Americans like myself. Lizzie Borden's story is one we've all heard, but you actually put some new perspective to it tonight. Thanks!
Colleen Hahn One possibility Oddie is considering is Patreon. Nothing official yet, just a consideration. But, if you do become a patron, Oddie’s got some really great videos posted on his Patreon page which can only been seen by patrons.
I’m completely obsessed with your videos. I’ve been binge watching them all day. Thanks man. Love the voice too. Soothing and melodious. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Jessy - very much appreciated :)
No problem. I’m sure it’s not easy creating these videos. I have a feeling we share the love of research. I first found your amazing page by watching your fascinating video about Evelyn Nesbit. I used to think I was the authority on cases you present. Nope. You have surpassed me and I can’t wait to learn more. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video. I don’t know how I came across your stories, but I’m so glad; especially now in the time of Corona virus. I often fall asleep listening 👂🏽 and replay when I wake up. It’s like a bedtime story. Brilliant story telling. I know that this is a lot of work.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback my friend - much appreciated :)
shame on you TH-cam obsoleteoddity is some of the best works ive seen on here very different & unique .not near as bad as some of the serial killer stuff you allow . puts me in mind of charles dickens. shame shame !!!!!!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Krista - much appreciated! 🎩
Name it Fuc*tube.
Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas and New Year! First time I've commented but love all your videos ,thank you xx Best TH-cam channel 😍
I’m poorly having a duvet day and catching up with some Oddie’s.
Fantastic stories and really well presented.
Thank you 🙏
So glad you enjoyed the presentation - very much appreciated 😊
Get well soon!
Erin...good choice. This story never gets old. I'm wishing you better health and a great Christmas😘!! Thanks for upload Oddy. It's nice to dedicate a video to your friend. I'm hoping that everyone reading and watching will take a moment to write TH-cam 👍. Happy holidays yaw😉
I would like to wish Erin (I hope that I am spelling her name correctly) a very Merry Christmas and send her my thoughts and prayers for a complete remission and cure for her cancer. Erin, you are beautiful. I wish you and your family every blessing to aid in your recovery. Merry Christmas!❤❤❤❤
Erin Curtis You are gorgeous! You have a lovely smile and a beautiful eyes. I have read your comments on other Oddie videos and you are funny and intelligent as well. You are the complete package. Merry Christmas Pretty Lady, and I pray that you are cancer free in 2018!!!❤❤❤❤
Erin Curtis You are more than welcome. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you, Sweetheart!💕💕💕💕
@@nibordiabla7493 did Erin go into remission ??
One of my very favorites♡
Was always intrigued by this story as a young girl and have watched about everything there is to see about Lizzie Borden. You are quickly becoming one of my favorites as well. Thank you for sharing♡Sweet dedication at the end.
Thank you as always for the lovely feedback my friend :)
Erin, Prayers for your renewed health. Merry Christmas and God's blessings to you.
Dear Sir...I mean no disrespect but I love your voice and your channel I find it very soothing as a bedtime routine...I love the mystery and stories...thank you for contributing something worthwhile in the TH-cam world..
Your message is most certainly a compliment Mariah - thank you so much :)
Me 2 I LOVE TO HEAR HIS VOICE AS I WATCH THESE SPOOKY STORIES LIZZIE BORDEN BEING ONE OF MY FAVORITES 🌛⭐🌠🌠⭐VERY SPOOKY GRISLY 👻 STORY. BOOOOO. LOLO HAHA. I DO BEALIEVE SHE KILLED HER STEP MOTHER. AND HER FATHER BEACAUSE OF RAGE AND JELOUSY. PURE RAGE. LIZZIE JUST SNAPPED AND LOST IT. 😰😰
i mean no disrespect but I think that phrase was unnecessary in your comment. just sayin
What do you mean. IM not being rude to anybody. Boo as in a ghost not. Like disrespecting emerging or ENYBODY ok. I love spooky stories around 🎃 or ENYTIME really. So. Thanks for being respectful ok. That's just my opinion about LIZZIE BORDEN. BUT IF I OFFENDED YOU ABOUT THE SNAPPED WORD OR WHATEVER. I JUST SAY WHATS ON. MY MIND AND I DINT MEAN. ENY DISRESPECT AT ALL OK PEACE LOVE HAPPYNESS. OK. LOVE LOVE GOD AND JESUS CHRIST. ✌ YALL
Oops ENYTHING or ENYBODY.
I love the “messy” home office and your fur baby
Oddie, yet another well done story! Thank you so much!
Hope Erin is doing as well as can be and that she knows that so many of your subscribers are thing of her. Have cancer myself and it’s not fun, but as someone told me on one of my feeling bad days “hey, any day above ground is a good day”. I agree.
You do a wonderful job with your videos. You Tube has become a joke.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
I love your cat and your Christmas spirit. I wish my Mom could have heard your stories when she was in the hospital sick with cancer. She loved books and history. Your voice is so sweet.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback my friend - very much appreciated :)
I think my mom would've liked these stories too.
ObsoleteOddity I know she would and how proud she would be of you ! you make all sorts of people smile every day ❤️
Bless you for that my friend :)
Other channels I subscribe to dealing with missing persons have been being demonitized too which is a shame. I've loved all your historical recounts. My best to Erin and happy holidays
i sent some feedback to the youtubes(yes, that was on purpose). it's absurd that they would demonetize your videos, because they are not offensive at all!!! if you don't want to watch something, don't watch it.
there's no need for this censorship to continue!!!! it has also happened to many of my other favorite channels... ridiculous!
it's so clear that you put much effort into your videos, and i enjoy them very much. i especially like that you have been narrating them for a while now. i like to fall asleep to a good story....
Thank you very much!
This page is so interesting. I am so glad I came across it. I love history and odd stories, or unexplained mysteries, and this page satisfies my curiosities. Keep up the fantastic work!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for your very kind feedback, I appreciate it.
