- This video will be about Thomas Weir, a man who was a respected member of his church and a former soldier. Towards the end of his life he made a number of deranged and dark confessions which were so unbelievable his confessions were confused for madness, but I'll let you be the judge, anyway let's get into the video.

Brief Case sent me!! New Subscriber!! 💕
Wow, what a fascinating and bizarre story! Subscribed! :)
Thank you so much ! 🙏
Every story/case is beyond fascinating and amazing!
Welcome!😁
I think Thomas was mad, although he was probably guilty of some charges. I am not sure what to think, and that is why I love this channel. Thank you and have a great day!
Personally i think he'd lost his mind and being deeply religious the occult was engrained in him, makes sense that he might have got twisted between the two, I think his poor sister was pressured either by torture or coerced into it thus sealing her own fate. Very intriguing i must say, hats off to you i think your channel is full of interesting and amazingly researched stories xx
"And ye cheeze did slyde off his pizza, and hys syster was also madde..."
Hahahahaha hilarious...and inventive. Be ye madde or nay, ye be clevereth!
"Madman or Satanist?"
It sounds like there's a thin line between them!
Back then, definitely. They knew absolutely nothing about mental illness or epilepsy
Right!? I was like there's a difference?
@@erinbeach3865 Amen to that!
Major Thomas Weir, in Scotland he’s always been considered a witch of sorts, because of the persecution of so called witches in Scotland during that time.
No different than the rich and politically connected of today. The more things change the more they stay the same
Thank you for watching Bruce! I hope you enjoyed the video!
Led Zepplin?
@@kathykaura7219 I was thinking more along the line of the Podesta Bros or Dennis Hastert or the Franklin coverup but yes Jimmy Page was a known occultist
Yep the upper echelons are all practicing satanists who participate in rituals... Today.. Not yesterday... I would say they hide it well but its all in plain sight.. Like the people in this case, they just refuse to believe it
Satanist is a good diversion tactic at any rate, people buy it, and fear it. The truth is much older than that
Amazing work, please don't stop.💞
This channel is so fascinating with history. Thank you for your content. Hello from the United States.
Wow killer story! Thank you 💜 Great work!
Amazing as always 😉 keep up the great work that we all appreciate 😽☺️😽☺️☺️☺️
Very disturbing story! Thank you for awesome work on the video Ollie, always a pleasure listen to you.
Sorry, just finish work! Couldn't listen to you before. But you know I'll be always here. Thank you
I believe what his sister and he said they did actually happen. More or less. The telling of the story is never 100%.
I think Thomas was a madman and his sister's confession was probably because of torture (or shame). Could they have been in an incestuous relationship? Sure. The shame from that would most likely have made them blame dark forces and/or the devil for it.
That's what I think, at least.
Awesome upload keep up the great work
Thank you so much !!!
Keep up the amazing work man
Another great video Ollie. A nice and twisted one at that.
Thank you so much Tom!
Love this channel absolutely brilliant. Never herd this story before. Wry refreshing.
A great show. Thank you for your content.
Thank you as always for the great story😁👍❤❤
Woah! This story has to be one of the most disturbing and scariest stories I've heard in a long time. I do believe he was telling the truth and definitely had ties with the devil and Satanism.
Thank you for the content!

Hhhmmm…. Are you sure about that?
Satan is not a person but a system, and most religions & politics are part of it.
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex are you sure about that? The Bible teaches different. In the parable if the sower and the seed. There are four soils represented. Each one an model of what the Bible traditionally calls the three enemies of the soul. The world (kinda like you described actually, a”system”) the flesh, and then the Devil. The Bible explains that the Devil manipulates the first two, creating as much chaos and evil as he can.
I respect your thoughts on the matter. I just thought you may be served well by knowing, that Christians affirm your belief partially. Below are descriptions of these three enemies. Ty for posting.
world -- "indifference and opposition to God’s design", "empty, passing values";[1]
flesh -- "gluttony and sexual immorality, ... our corrupt inclinations, disordered passions";[1]
the Devil -- "a real, personal enemy, a fallen angel, Father of Lies, who ... labours in relentless malice to twist us away from salvation"
This channel is the only reason why I'm glad I have insomnia
Cool Ghost background at 3:51.
I feel people like Thomas and his Sister suffered terribly in those awful badly educated times!
No one back then had no idea how to treat and support the mentally ill people, life for these poor souls was short, brutal and and tortuous harsh, very sad.
Yes, but today's not much better, especially for those locked away in mental hospitals
Allegations of abuse are rife; it wouldn't be hard to get away with either behind closed doors, against younger people considered schizophrenic, or older people already infirm, senile, and not sound of mind; medication to possibly incapacitate the victim or make them unable to recall events; with hardly any visitation from family who might chalk up any allegations to just wanting more attention, and highly medicated making them even less likely to be believed... I've seen recent cases where nursing homes had hidden camera footage evidencing horrific torture and abuse. Who knows what goes on there but I get the impression that a lot of the time, a lot of the people shouldn't be there; in the olden days a family member that was mentally slow, was, if they weren't just left to die in the forest, brought to institutions like these to be rid of them as they were an embarrassment - especially to wealthy, well-to-do families - and just left there, claiming that they were ill, and this was best for them. Nowadays we wouldn't just lock autistic kids away as it has been diagnosed, but other conditions still aren't considered as 'normal' or acceptable by mainstream society and where do they end up but long-term psychiatric care even if they could actually do something with their life given the chance
Nah, they both were possessed by the devil.
Your channel is truly a wealth of information on occultists in the middle ages. You should add in stories of people tried for witchcraft that aren't necessarily nefarious for those of us who like to investigate family lineages and such. Thanks for your work 🤘
You did not mention everyone's favorite "fact finding" method torture. Therefore i am unsure what to make of this story. He was at the very least, quite mad with a death wish thrown in for good measure. Thank you Ollie!:-) 🖖
He starting raving like a mad man in the middle of a church service confessing to all manner of things, no torture was involved in this case, thank you for watching !
He was only strangled and the confessions weren't brought out under torture that's the main difference in this case. If they'd put him on a catherine wheel or even beat him and THEN he confessed thatd be different
@@historyprofiles this is almost certainly incorrect. Yes, he made his first 'confessions' voluntarily probably in a type of religious fervour, but he and his sister were then taken for 'interrogation'. So the apparently corroborating confession of Jane was quite possibly made under extreme duress, to say the least. Also the context of this is very important. Scotland had just lived through a period of intense literal witch hunts and a belief in the Dark Arts was culturally widespread. This pair were extremely religious and would have interpreted any mental stress suffered by Thomas as a visitation of evil.
If that's how you reason then the nazis were innocent too since they used severe torture at the Nuremberg trials too.
@@chrissibersky4617 🐸☕
The main question seems to be, was he mad?
There are many "elitists" who when confronted by a "friend" or associate, about the wrong doings (usualy insulting snobbishness) of a member of their family, will quickly disassociate with the accused by declaring him/her as mad!
Thereby absolving themselves of any social bias.
This is a common stance of community leaders and clergymen for reasons best known to them!
As for the past dark associations and mystical powers it could subtly imply that they may revive this connection to their advantage!
The truth about the confessions and lack of any sign of repentance seems irrelevant to us today as the whole issue could have been politicised like the "Salem" hangings!
The question if satan does actually exist can be witnessed by a few who have experienced relief from "attacks" as magical as the attacks themselves, so it seems!
Never heard of this. Very interesting thanks. 👍😀
It sounds like he had a severe mental break there. God help people in those days who had such illnesses. This is terrifying. I love this channel, you go the extra mile. Thank you!
I think it was his last chance for a shocking thrill to his crimes he was proud of. Thrill confession. If no one ever knew about him he would've just been a nobody in his mind. I think this is as good an explanation as any. But..I'm still waiting on my decoder ring and PI license. I really like these crazy human stories.
This is a good one, and it's impossible to tell if he was confabulating or confessing. In either case, wow. Excellent narration.
Confabulation. Excellent word to approach this case with. Good post!
This channel is great
Good morning. I honestly believe we all have our dances with the devil throughout our lives. Not exactly satanic worship. I mean as we live our lives & we often go down wrong paths. Usually, we learn from these & become stronger.
I agree Stacy! We all do wrong and go down wrong paths sometimes but its important to come back to the light! Thank you for your comment it means a lot! I hope you enjoyed the video!
There was a story a few years ago saying Thomas Weirs house was not actually demolished. It was incorperated into another building in the late 19th century. 7 Victoria Terrace. It has been used for the last 30 years as the Quaker Meeting House. Apparently the part that was his house is their toilet, which seems fitting. Anyway, thanks for the top quality content and I appreciate the old Edinburgh photos.
Sounds like he went a little bonkers in his advanced age. As far as his sister confessing, was it under duress? They were infamous for pulling false confessions out of people back then.
Don't kid yourself many, MANY men of the cloth throughout history even present day have turned out to be evil.
Another excelente interesting story from the Past from Europe!.
Good morning! 💜
Good afternoon frae Bonnie Scotland Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🗺️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴
Hey Michelle!!! Thank you for watching!
He just knew how to party!
Thank you.
He was suffering from dementia and unitary tract. His house was not demolished but incorporated into the Quaker House and it is still there to this day. His sister, Jean (Grizel) was burned as a witch.
I just learned I'm a blood relative of Thomas Weir. I'm going down the rabbit hole and I find it fascinating how the most famous person I'm related to is so insane yet interesting.
We may never know the whole story of Thomas Weir.
The world is a mysterious place.
His sister's confession makes me wonder! Ultimately, it's between them and God.
I don't understand what the apparition of the calf was supposed to be that the couple allegedly saw in their bedroom at the foot of the bed. Such a strange and creepy story. It would actually make a good horror flick.
It's hard to tell with how common syphilis was back then.. you never know if someone was being affected by a illness that messed with the mind and body. Idk?
Nice vid
Thank you so much !
@@historyprofiles You're Welcome
Hey dear Ollie i again hours later🤦♀️😁❤ but as always the stupid time difference and than i had to work now we have already evening and i can chill and listen to your story. The name sounds already very interesting.👍❤❤Again some madman or satanist.I'am very curious
Subbed!
Gasses seeping from underneath the house must of made the siblings seriously not thinking clearly.
I guess his supernatural abilities didnt extend to keeping his mouth shut.
Creepy! I wouldn't want to meet this guy!
Same Dee! Thank you for watching !
heard of that name before but never knew what he was famous/infamous for
It sounds like a possible case of Folie a deux, or maddness of 2. usuallly one Is sick, & the person woth them begins to believe the first. Though both can be the same time, & end up beliving & acting on beliefs. I can't imagine her saying all that, unless she believed, or was being tortured, knowing they'd die.
I think maybe both,but then we will never truly know for sure
Scary Stuff✌️
Were any occult books or objects found in his possession? If not, then probably Thomas and Jean suffered from folie a deux, also known as "shared psychosis" and "shared delusional disorder".
This was before the development of the novel in storytelling, and Gothic (straight up blood and gore) tales were in vogue. sounds like political enemies and embellishment.
I Believe Some People, In Committing Heinous Deeds, Can Actually Go Mad. Evil Seem To Have That Kind Of Effect On People. I Believe The Confessions Of Thomas And His Sister...Children Tend To Be Influenced By The Adults In Their Lives, Namely Their Parents...If They Had A Mother Who Was A Witch, It's More Than Likely She Exposed, And Taught, Them To Her Craft And Religion.
I cant imagine what was done to these people to get them to confess. I am sure in his sisters shoes we all would have admitted to devil worship as well.
It's been my experience that people don't usually tell lies that would bring them to their death or send them into prison. Considering that and the corroborating story of his sister, it makes it appear as if he was telling the truth. And coming from a Christian worldview myself, it's also been my experience that piety doesn't always translate into godliness, in fact some of the more deeply pious individuals in life are also the most sinister. It's been well said that Satan is religious, and I would agree. I believe this man was telling the truth.
Hey high and listen to this is like a masterpiece
Yes dear what a bizarre story .The nice girl was totally right And you don't know what to belive. Was he Satanist or a madman?🤷♀️🤔
Knowing what we do of the witch trials, did he do these things or was he accused of and forced to admit to these things? I wouldn't be too sure.
Literally started raving about them like a mad man in the middle of a church service and wouldn’t stop, no torture no questioning. Very bizarre case
Interesting that he was against the Catholic Church when it was the CC that started the witchcraft craze.Maybe the church wanted to get rid of him and the charges were false and were confessed to during torture
Fantastic video, really interesting. Personally I think it was mental illness with a hint of truth behind it.
I believe it
This would make a great movie
Elderly they don't lie much especially one they confess
My birth name is Weir, our family Bible is full of Thomas’s, I trust I am possibly related somewhere as my fathers family came from Scotland.
My passion for Pan the God of Nature was quite evident at at the age of 5. I do not Believe Thomas was a Satanist. This interpretation is aloof to those times, that it was the devil. Without existing knowledge of Pan. I am connected to the Realms of Fairy, Faerie as I spell it. It’s quite a daunting realisation to think my genetics and my natural inherent Belief in Pan came from this Satanist interpretation.
Both
In the days of burning witches, I don’t believe anyone was interested in the truth about anything. I don’t know how his sister was induced to confess because the story doesn’t say, but overall, those people lived in nearly complete superstition & even if they were committing vile & vulgar acts, that wouldn’t really distinguish them or their acts from what went on ordinarily, other than by the degree of depraved behavior, which records show was commonly carried out as spectator sport then, 9th-17th centuries. Only camera development slowed it down-somewhat. But then, “Who expects a Spanish Inquisition?”
If you have ever seen someone with advanced dementia there would be no doubt in your mind he had it. Add the typical “interrogation” style of the time on the sister and I believe that explains it. Neither of them had children so no one was there to take care of them, and that made them easy pickings. No one could pull off that much bestiality without causing a ruckus and people would have caught on. Not to mention the servants talking. If he did have relations with his sister, that’s 🤮 but easier to hide. So I don’t believe it.
Dementia
Very strange that being a respected member of the community one day he just decided to "confess", in my opinion he had perverted appetites he could not control and it became a heavy burden, deep inside he was a good man, as for the sister, she was a summisive victim.
submissive, I think you mean.
Or ergot bread
So he was an ancient E-boi 😂 very interesting tho❤️
I think he probably was a Satan worshipper.
Yes there is a lot of evidence pointing that way, the 2 confessions and the haunting, definitely a lot of dark energy
Guilty
Getting the algorithm
He probably had an onset of dementia, but his rigid religious beliefs, magnified his story. His sister was probably forced into confession. They may have been just a bit too dour. The calf ghost appearing 100 years later. Well, it apparition frightened the couple anyway. A strange tale indeed.☘
Of course I believe him.
JESUS CHRISTUS
Sounds like he was into some weird stuff.
Satan has been around a long time! I didn’t realize until six months ago how much his presence was. Here and now, the fights on!
spiritual battle!
I agree with you. Satanic groups are all over these days. There have been large groupings at black masses in the USA and Canada this year. As well as I have seen billboards advertising both " The Temple and Church of Satan. One said on it-" Abortion saves lives- Our religious abortion ritual circumvents state restrictions " I'm paraphrasing but just search" satanic billboards ". Time to put on the armour of God , and pray.
I think he did all of those things but don’t believe he was actually in touch with the devil. In those times taboo sex acts were clearly punishable by death so the guilt of that probably made him feel like the devil was making him do that. The sister probably felt the same way. He was just a pervert lol
*wad* *up* Ollie
This is my really late grandpa, weird lmao
What's your surname?
He was probably telling the truth because I was involved in dark magic before but it came at a terrible price for me...
Is it possible he and his sister had syphilis? I do believe they probably had a relationship and I can see an army man could have easily contracted syphilis and brought it home with him. If that is so then his memory of those things would be unreliable and he may have thought them real.
Regardless, you got a new sub with that video.
Good Point! Syphilis can infect the central nervous system which can cause dementia and even psychosis. I highly doubt most of it happened but I agree he might of thought they did.
Could be a shared disillusion and perhaps they were both mentally ill rare but happens, I'm leaning toward them being Satanists though. Cause that's just too much lol.
folie a deux?
A folie a deux
It doesn't really sound like Satanism. Sounds more like they had some history of paganism in the family and at some point they became actual Xtians....and began to freak out that they were sinning and felt they needed to publicly reject their paganism. My family, the Robinson family, has a similar pagan back ground connected with the God Robin aka Robin Goodfellow. I notice some in our family (like myself) love and enjoy our oral history.....and some don't. The ones that don't are usually evangelicals.
Madness. Or American.
Seems pretty Satanistic to me,, you have confessions from 2 different sources. I would think the goal of these types is to be as discrete as possible and do as much "damage" to the Christian way as possible.
I would say most of it was true,why would his sister lie knowing they both would burn,she still admitted to her part in it also
