If you come back to London, let me know I will show you around… that little St Pancras yard is just full of the most amazing stories ever…it will blow your mind….❤
As I'm watching this, I have the volume up to maximum because I'm sitting in the dark, and there is a massive, MASSIVE thunderstorm outside, and I can barely hear a thing as lightning flashing keeps illuminating my room, it's metal as f☆ck. Perfect Frankenstein weather, it's alive! ALIVE!
My name is Eric Shane Shelley and I live in Albany Kentucky. I have always wondered if I was kin to the Shelley family. Hey thanks Michael and Jessica for another grim adventure. ❤️
& let me tell you something…. I know you were @ the Mary Shelly Tour, but right @ St Pancras old church is the grave of John Polidori author of The Vampyr & the doctor of Lord Byron. Both were with Shelly & Percy together the night she wrote Frankenstein. I live between Highgate& St Pancras . Have a nice one!
Mary Shelley certainly wrote an amazing novel. I see "Frankenstein" as not only a horror story, but also a tragedy. Definitely a tale of the consequences of attempting to overcome the natural order of things. Another great adventure, indeed, Michael and Jessica! Happy...Halloween!! 💚💚💚
I read Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN last winter and am very glad I finally did that. There is a long list of reasons why that book is regarded as the classic that it is. I was blown away by the epic descriptions of nature, the poetry of the language and the exceedingly strong character development. Also, I was especially struck by how sad the story actually is. FRANKENSTEIN is the saddest story that I ever read in my entire life.
I used to work in Chester square (as a private chef) not very far from the house with the blue plaque ( opposite in fact ) what you might not know is that the late prime minister ( Margaret Thatcher) was leaving few doors Downs from the house I worked in. Great videos as usual. I really like the way that you explain things. Great job !!
Hi! I live in Bournemouth, and prior to covid, I used to Volenteer at the Shelley Theatre in Boscombe, Bournemouth, which is adjoined to Shelley Manor, and is where Mary’s son lived with his family. When Mary became ill, he wanted to bring her down to Bournemouth, but sadly she died before he had the chance. The theatre is very small, it only seats 160 people, but it’s very atmospheric! In 2010, a performance of Frankenstein by candlelight was put on in the unrestored theatre, I bet that was extremely spooky!! And the theatre opened as a performance venue in 2014. I loved my time there, because, like you, I loved the connection to the family. Sadly it’s not re-opened since covid, but 🤞it will do in the very near future! Thanks for drawing attention to Shelleys’ Grave here in Bournemouth.
Ps! Apparently Mary requested that her husbands’ heart be sent to her, so she could press it, and use it as a bookmark, which is exactly where her son found it………
Thank you, both…. I don’t know how to say this. After all, we don’t know one another. Tonight I learned that my very best friend , whom I have known for decades, and over the very last year became so close that she was my very best friend. And we even both kind of started to come very very close to falling in love with one another. Last night her 12 year old daughter used my good friends account to connect with me and tell me that my friend/her mother had passed away suddenly. I am moving through the realms of surreal and tragic and beyond sad most, especially for her son and daughter. Myself as well. During this confusing and odd and sad time, this video seemed oddly fitting, and I’m so glad to see both of you together and sharing this with us . Geez I’m crying so much. I can’t believe that voice to text is actually working. Heh. Sorry. She was no super fan of horror but would have appreciated this video. I’m sorry. It’s an awesome vid. I certainly don’t want to bring folks down. I love you guys and your content and it seemed to be….i dunno… I hope you understand. I’m 49. She was very healthy, bright, happy, outstandingly gorgeous at age 49 and now she’s gone. So, I beg your forgiveness, understanding and a few Rum & Cokes that I feel compelled to say something. Thank you again. Love and light…to anyone and everyone that may read this! ❤️ Love who you love and tell them every moment of every day!
I'm SO sorry for your loss 🙏😔 thanks for sharing. I know what you're feeling. I am about the same age as you guys. You and her family can support each other ❤️🌹 Take care...
I think it's incredible that you got to visit the grave of the founder of Science fiction and Horror herself. Mary Shelley is an incredible writer and without her, we would never have two of the best genres in existence.
That is wild and crazy! Mary Shelley literally spent like every waking moment of her life at her mother’s grave, it’s cool, and surprising and sad all at the same time. Who would have thought the place to take that next step of love would be in a cemetery on your mother’s grave! Holy heckens this is one for the books! ❤thank you besties for this beautiful and quite intriguing adventure! Love you both! 👻❤️🦇💚🧛🏻♂️🥰
I was going to ask you guys previously if you were going to visit my home town of Bournemouth as Mary Shelley was buried in of of the churchyards here! Now that I know you did visit for the very reason of seeing her grave, I'm gutted that I didn't know before hand so I could've popped along and met you both personally!
I use to live just around the corner from St Pancras Gardens when I lived in London, not knowing the history until now, as a big frankenstein fan I wish I'd known the history then.
As an English major and someone who's read both "The Vindication Of The Right Of Women" and "Frankenstein", i LOVED this! Can't wait to go one day myself (: thanks Grimm!
LOVE that you also visited Weatherspoon's restaurant. They all make a nod to the town/ history they are in. There's a snobbery against them here in the UK but we love them. Another great video guys!
I know you guys don’t normally show yourselves eating or going to restaurants, but I appreciate when you do because they are always the coolest places🤩🙌🏼🍴
That was really informative and very atmospheric. I live about 40 miles away from Bournemouth, so will have to visit soon. The pub you visited is part of a chain that has pubs in most towns, but not with the same theme. A lot of them seem to have gained inspiration from the hotel from the shining with garish, swirly carpets and wooden chandeliers haha.
Mary Shelley led a “ strange life “. I always wondered how could someone at age 18, write such a dark book like Frankenstein ? I didn’t know her mom died not much longer after Shelley was born . This may have had an impact on her growing up without a mom . 👩 I wonder what all went on in her life up until the age of 18? Thank you for an interesting walk into another historical figure . Happy Halloween . And may 2024 bring you both joy and happy memories . Warm wishes and hugs to both of you , and your families . Xoxoxoxo
Very nice episode. I studied both Mary Wollstonecraft, who was part of feminism's first wave, and Mary Shelley for my master's in British Literature. I have always been fascinated with all things surrounding the penning of the novel. I do hope to visit her gravesite one day.
Fascinating. I had to write an essay about Mary Wollstonecraft for my history degree and it's incredibly tragic that Mary Shelley lost her mother when she was a baby. Her life was likely shaped by that. Thank you for another great video. 💚
One love from Scotland i lived in Bournemouth for years im so glad you doing this i actually know the ex cannon from st Peter's church and visted mary shelley's grave happy holidays 🏴🏴❤
Hey guys, great video, I am a descendent of a man named Conrad, Johan dippel, he is the person who inspired the character of Dr. Frankenstein. Look him up. He is a very interesting breed. He was an alchemist and a Satanist I just about everything else you can think of. He was not trying to bring someone back from the dead like Dr. Frankenstein was, but he did do his experiments at Frankenstein castle which our family used to own long ago. He was trying to create an elixir of life to Grant himself and his followers, eternal life.
"Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay to mold me man? Did I solicit thee from darkness to promote me?" Mary Shelley was heavily influenced by Milton's 'Paradise Lost' and how that epic poem examined the relationship and moral accountability between an arrogant creator and his creation.
I highly recommend the Mary Shelley museum in bath, England. It’s very fascinating, with a lot of history and information. Also it has a Kenneth Branagh’s frankenstein pinball machine which is free to use... needless to say I played it for a good while when I was there
I know Bournemouth very well and this church…Hope you both enjoyed visiting Bournemouth and hopefully explored Dorset with its sites,history and stories..Great video and all the best from Blighty🇬🇧👍
If you guys haven't already seen it, there's a movie from the 80's called Gothic about that night in the castle in Switzerland with Lord Byron et al when Mary came up with the story. Definitely worth a watch.....
I lived in Bournemouth between 2016 and 2018 used to visit the Shelley families tomb quite often infact I would sometimes take that route walking back from work through St Peters Churchyard, I like the fact that parts of the Church Yard have now been left to nature. Would be fantastic for a movie location. I am so glad you located the Wetherspoons The Mary Shelley. Another Famous Author also lived in Bornemouth Robert Louis Stevenson famous for the novel Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde. Both he and his wife Fanny lived in a house called Skerryvore located at number 19 Alum Chine Rd Westbourne between 1884 and 1887. Whilst living there he wrote Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde, unfortunately nothing is left of the house as it was bombed during WW2 however the land that was once occupied by the house is now a garden dedicated to Robert Louis Stevenson. Watching this brought back some great memories.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, I am always beyond impressed with the amount of research you put into each of your stories/videos, and every time it pays off with an amazing video for your followers to watch Again, like so many others, I so loved this video, it was spooktacular! Something you showed at the beginning of the video (Not Mary Shelly related) was that stone etching of someone on the cross being turned upside down by two people. I believe that is the apostle Peter who was also crucified, but because he did not want to be crucified like his Lord and Savior, he asked to be crucified upside down. The catholic church has an upside down cross that represents Peter's crucifixion (not to be satanic) LOVED THIS VIDEO/STORY THANK YOU MICHAEL AND JESSICA HAPPY HALLOWEEN🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Great job again Mike and Jess. This past Oct. I attended a Cleveland Playhouse performance of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein- it was mainly a story of how Mary’s tragedies and life led to her writing of the book. It was a great take on a classic tale.
I had a business the other side of St Peter’s church (Bournemouth) for many years and knew Jim the cannon of St Peter’s very very well . I now live in Los Angeles 😅….what a crazy dam world 🌎✌️☠️🌵⚰️💙
What an intriguing and surreal video! Absolutely amazing story of Mary Shelley's life. I learned quite a lot about her. Love you both! Never stop what you do! ❤❤❤
You two are having an amazing trip and seeing things and places that most people couldn't dream of. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome trip. Safe travels and as always, Happy Halloween.
I haven't even watched it yet, but every time - every single time there's a new post on this European tour - it's an absolute joy. It has been soooooo good. The subject matter, the information, the filming. Honestly, you must both be proud, it's been a cracking achievement.
Oh your visit to England is completed hope you make another visit I've really enjoyed all your England and Scotland visit did you do wale don't think you did it's a honer to have grimmlife in England glad you left best till last I know how much you love Frankenstein
Another fascinating and interesting video. You two take us to places where most of us will never travel to visit and let us see them up close and personal with interesting stories to share about the locations. Thank you for sharing all these videos and keep up the good work.
Great video man, really enjoyed this, I live 174 miles away from there, but my brother and his wife live In Bournemouth, so this was great and also to commemorate Mary Shelley
You guys’ videos are always so amazing, I absolutely love them! The expression on your face after saying “we may be going there for lunch…” had me rolling! Fascinating life story about Mary Shelley. And yes, if you think about it, it IS VERY COOL! 😎
I always loved the story of Mary! It was also so sad as far as everything she went through but she wrote one of the most amazing books. I wonder if Frankenstein was in reference to her husband he was so sweet at first then he turned into a monster.
Frankenstein is a twist on the Greek myth of Prometheus. Prometheus brings fire to humans despite Zeus’ warning not to, and pays the ultimate price. Frankenstein, like Prometheus, is over prideful of his ability to bring the dead to life. His excessive pride leads to his demise. So, the story warns to keep your pride in check. It also questions God and creation. But that’s a whole other analysis. 😂
Mary Shelley is a treasure. In the world of books. Will never be forgotten. Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. Will keep her alive forever. Life was rough on her.
Again an epic video! I think she had so much loss in her life that maybe the idea of Frankenstein is more of a way to give mortality instead of having to bury more loved ones. Just a thought 😊
Another well spoken, researched and ineresting peice. 👏 and i agree, there shoud be a plaque at Marys Mothers grave...but im suprised that her stone is still there!
A classic monster. Dr Frankenstein is the monster's father, but Mary Shelley is the mother. Your trip has been very illustrative. Thanks Grimm Life Collective. Happy Halloween 🎃.
So cool! What a great story! I didn't know most of what you told us today! Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is such a classic! Thanks again for another great vlog! Happy Halloween ❤
I wish I had known you were coming to Bournemouth I could have showed you around the town but I am glad you got to see Mary's grave, you guys are the best 👏
Fantastic location to add to the Collective List ("the Collective List" maybe?)! I'm not a serous scholar of the novel, but Percy had to have influenced if not co-authored. The language in it has such a poetic ring to it. Thanks for sharing Grimms!
Mary spent a lot of time in Dundee, Scotland from the age 14-16. She stayed at a Jute baron’s mansion called The Cottage. Dundee was a whaling port and big jute manufacturer around this time so was probably pretty grim place! It also sits on the River Tay which sometimes gets this dense fog travelling up on the river called Haar, it still happens and is very atmospheric when it does. This would have been her first taste of some kind of freedom in her life. I am sure the city must have been quite the experience for her, The Cottage was very close to where the whaling ships would come in. Thanks for another great video, best wishes for 2024 to everyone!
“Dundee, the then-whaling capital of the world was “Blubbertown”; the scale of its industry and rapacious plunder of the Arctic almost beyond belief. In Dundee’s docks Mary would have seen whale carcasses towed into harbour, carcasses of seals, walruses and polar bears by the thousand and vast piles of tusks and bones on the quays”
“In the preface to the 1831 edition of the novel which appeared under her own name, Mary paid fulsome tribute to the town: “the aerie of freedom … [where] the airy flights of my imagination were born and fostered.”
Wow. I love your videos, guys. Not only you visit to show us the accurate locations but you also share valuable information about it. Keep up the good work. Happy Halloween to you guys. :D
If you come back to London, let me know I will show you around… that little St Pancras yard is just full of the most amazing stories ever…it will blow your mind….❤
Such a shame that they missed the Hardy-Tree, lost history, so glad we were there just days before its collapse
As I'm watching this, I have the volume up to maximum because I'm sitting in the dark, and there is a massive, MASSIVE thunderstorm outside, and I can barely hear a thing as lightning flashing keeps illuminating my room, it's metal as f☆ck. Perfect Frankenstein weather, it's alive! ALIVE!

The birth for Frankenstein is amazing story by Mary Shelley and her husband was part to play with the story of Frankenstein
Very nice episode. I studied both Mary Wollstonecraft, who was part of feminism's first wave, and Mary Shelley for my master's in British Literature. I have always been fascinated with all things surrounding the penning of the novel. I do hope to visit her gravesite one day.
Very interesting. The part about her husband's heart was bizarre, yet fitting for the author of Frankenstein. Well done as usual.
Fascinating. I had to write an essay about Mary Wollstonecraft for my history degree and it's incredibly tragic that Mary Shelley lost her mother when she was a baby. Her life was likely shaped by that. Thank you for another great video. 💚

I've always been interested in Mary Shelley and the history behind Frankenstein. Thank you for such an awesome video!

@@lesleyrussell8200yes it also shows the legacy of Frankenstein from book to films to merchandise
Who needs 'American Werewolf in London ' when we have ' American TH-camrs in Wetherspoons! '
🤣
😂❤
I know Bournemouth very well and this church…Hope you both enjoyed visiting Bournemouth and hopefully explored Dorset with its sites,history and stories..Great video and all the best from Blighty🇬🇧👍
Great video, and you got to experience two icons of English horror - Mary Shelley's grave ... and Wetherspoons.
WELL PLAYED, good sir. Well pickin' played! 😂😂😁😁🥳🥳
I'll take Wetherspoons over McDonald's or Costa any day.
Jessica - I love your bag - and your companion Shaun the Sheep and Timmy a British film legend duo for sure
19:15 "Mary Shelley, the author (church bells) of Frankenstein..." lol Perfect timing! 🤣

Her parents are also famous and pretty fascinating in their own right.
Great job again Mike and Jess. This past Oct. I attended a Cleveland Playhouse performance of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein- it was mainly a story of how Mary’s tragedies and life led to her writing of the book. It was a great take on a classic tale.
Another awesome video by the Grimms. Such amazing views of the cemetery. The trivia that you've included is very intriguing. Happy Halloween
As a book reader and a fan of her work this was a complete treat. What a beautiful video.
I had a business the other side of St Peter’s church (Bournemouth) for many years and knew Jim the cannon of St Peter’s very very well . I now live in Los Angeles 😅….what a crazy dam world 🌎✌️☠️🌵⚰️💙
Part of the Bournemouth to LA exodus that started in the 80's. You'd be shocked at the state of Bournemouth now, everything good is gone.
❤❤❤how exciting to visit along with you and visit one of the author of my favorite movie. Mucho respecto mis fantasma espantosos
What an intriguing and surreal video! Absolutely amazing story of Mary Shelley's life. I learned quite a lot about her. Love you both! Never stop what you do! ❤❤❤
Oh yeah! Love Shelley! Great location! I need to go back and see if you guys have done Edgar Allen Poe yet.

Frankenstein has been developed into many cool movies! Thank you both so much!
I always loved the story of Mary! It was also so sad as far as everything she went through but she wrote one of the most amazing books. I wonder if Frankenstein was in reference to her husband he was so sweet at first then he turned into a monster.

Frankenstein, like Prometheus, is over prideful of his ability to bring the dead to life. His excessive pride leads to his demise. So, the story warns to keep your pride in check. It also questions God and creation. But that’s a whole other analysis. 😂
@@waterhorse5199Amazing analysis! Thank-you for this!
Mary Shelley is a treasure. In the world of books. Will never be forgotten. Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. Will keep her alive forever. Life was rough on her.
What an Amazing grave to visit very cool
Again an epic video! I think she had so much loss in her life that maybe the idea of Frankenstein is more of a way to give mortality instead of having to bury more loved ones. Just a thought 😊
Another well spoken, researched and ineresting peice. 👏
and i agree, there shoud be a plaque at Marys Mothers grave...but im suprised that her stone is still there!
A classic monster. Dr Frankenstein is the monster's father, but Mary Shelley is the mother. Your trip has been very illustrative. Thanks Grimm Life Collective.
Happy Halloween 🎃.
Great video! Thanks for everything you all do at the expense of our entertainment!!
Man, you guys are hitting these videos out of the park. You are taking your channel to a whole new level.
Great job, keep it up.
Great timing on trip, probably not too busy. Im enjoying your European videos so far!
So cool! What a great story! I didn't know most of what you told us today! Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is such a classic! Thanks again for another great vlog! Happy Halloween ❤
I wish I had known you were coming to Bournemouth I could have showed you around the town but I am glad you got to see Mary's grave, you guys are the best 👏
Awesome video! What beautiful content. You both always out doing yourselves. It’s always an adventure! Much respect to you both!
Fantastic location to add to the Collective List ("the Collective List" maybe?)! I'm not a serous scholar of the novel, but Percy had to have influenced if not co-authored. The language in it has such a poetic ring to it. Thanks for sharing Grimms!
This is awesome I always wondered where she was buried at and how she came up with the story.
Another great video from the grimlife collective. Love you guys. I'd love to bump into filming in London.
I can't believe how many times I have been to Bournemouth and never knew she was buried there! That is 100 percent what I'm doing next time I visit!
What an amazing story! It's almost as good as the story she came up with. Terrific video!
Damn love you guys in the UK. Please visit more often. Fans would love to say hi to you guys
Thank you so much for sharing your travels and the exquisite Mary Shelley❤
this is my favorite channel. much love. amazing vid
Another fantastic video Grimm! I love all the signage scattered throughout the area. Visiting at night would be fun!
Spooky 👻 cool video! The Grimms Rocking Mary Shelly. The mother of Frankenstein.
Mary spent a lot of time in Dundee, Scotland from the age 14-16. She stayed at a Jute baron’s mansion called The Cottage. Dundee was a whaling port and big jute manufacturer around this time so was probably pretty grim place! It also sits on the River Tay which sometimes gets this dense fog travelling up on the river called Haar, it still happens and is very atmospheric when it does. This would have been her first taste of some kind of freedom in her life. I am sure the city must have been quite the experience for her, The Cottage was very close to where the whaling ships would come in. Thanks for another great video, best wishes for 2024 to everyone!
“Dundee, the then-whaling capital of the world was “Blubbertown”; the scale of its industry and rapacious plunder of the Arctic almost beyond belief. In Dundee’s docks Mary would have seen whale carcasses towed into harbour, carcasses of seals, walruses and polar bears by the thousand and vast piles of tusks and bones on the quays”
“In the preface to the 1831 edition of the novel which appeared under her own name, Mary paid fulsome tribute to the town: “the aerie of freedom … [where] the airy flights of my imagination were born and fostered.”
Thank you so much for this in depth info about Mary Shelley. So awesome and interesting!
