This video is sponsored by my Patreon patrons - THANK YOU! I originally posted this on Patreon July 2018, but had to re-edit and post it again on Patreon a few months back due to 20 seconds of copyrighted soundtrack which caused it to be blocked in the USA. I'm going to be posting on RU-vid selected previously locked Patreon videos that are approximately 1.5 (one and a half) years old. This is one of them and RU-vid has already demonetised it with the standard claim that's it's not suitable for most advertisers....which always leaves me wondering why there's a ton of adverts when movies with the most disturbing content are aired on TV and cable? Those advertisers don't seem to have any qualms about placing their products with such content. My dear friends, I've started a fundraiser on my Facebook page for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I've chosen this non profit because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital below. I've already donated $200 Not one cent of this goes to me, the money doesn't even come into my hands, it goes straight to St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Myself and loyal Oddites have already raised over $600. - $1000 is the goal, even a $5 donation helps out. For the price of a couple of coffees you will be helping to save a child's life. Thanks for your consideration. If any of you can spare a small amount to help ease the distress of families with children suffering cancer. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90%, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. #StJude Kind regards, Oddie facebook.com/donate/620154905389101/?fundraiser_source=external_url
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ODDIE!!! What a wonderful thing to do.🤗 The children and their family's deserve any & all help they can get. I need to take that guy to court very soon, if win, I could help out that way way if I'm awarded some money, also can try next month to sell some rings. If that is a no go, I'll try to save some $ over acupple of months and just make it a goal. What we put our minds to doing we can do ! I've given to them in the past BECAUSE it goes to saving children & their family's. Danny Thomas was one careing, loving, outstanding person and his daughter still carries on with it. And you and Oddette are very careing, loving folks. I can't give right now but I CAN make it a goal to give in the near future.
December babies unite! 😊😊 I went to donate but I only saw a FB page summarizing the amount raised so far, but not a link to give. I am not on FB so logging onto FB is not an option. I will try again and maybe find a way to circumvent a FB login but if you have e a more direct link, please post it and like my YT comment so I will know that you've replied. Thank you for posting such wonderful content and more so for helping St. Jude's - it is also one of my favorite causes. Worst case, I'll donate and do it in your name.
Happy Birthday!!! I absolutely love your films & already donate to St. Jude's - I've survived cancer twice, & my dear friend's daughter has been battling leukemia for 8 years. TY for choosing such a generous birthday gift!!
My aunt lived up the road from where christie lived she never liked him and always said to her dying day that she knew the man was evil. The whole area is now modern office blocks and flats.
@@macarona3467 Hi Compliments of the Season- covers Everybody, right!? You use my fav picture of lovely Marilyn. I also (suffer from severe depression and other psych issues) pity the man. Sadly so many psychopaths? are so clever, if they could just channel high I.Q. and creativity for the good. Namaste zoe
@@MSYNGWIE12 Hi anonymous anonymous, Christmas greetings to you thanks ! Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful person , this photo was taken in New York at a time Marilyn decided to say no to the movies the studios in Hollywood expected her to play in. Many people do struggle with depression. If this applies to you - sorry if I got your message wrong - , try and be kind to yourself every day. Many serial killers were not raised in a loving environment. Some have high IQs, others don't but one cannot deny they have a strategic intelligence. I know watching those videos at Xmas may seem odd but I watch other videos too and Oddie is a perfectionist ! Take care.
@@jacemay5197 I know this is a year ago lol but just wanted to say the blinking photos nearly made me jump out of my skin!! So Creepy!!! 😱🤣🤣 But a good job lol
I was 5 yrs old in 19 53 . I will be 72 this year 2020 . My dad was a young police constable ,and was one of the police men in the Bobby hats , as they were digging up the back garden . He described in detail ,when I was in my early 20s ,the horrendous smell, and the bodies in the cupboard in the kitchen . It made me feel quite sick .My dad climbed up through the ranks , and was the major Detective who investigated , and solved the kidnapping and murder of Mrs Muriel Mac/Kay , wife of a wealthy newspaper mogul .The kidnappers were the Hossain brothers ,Arther,and Nisamidin . Jonny Miners , was my dads partner. With intricate detective work , everything lead him to a pig farm called Rooks farm, just outside London . No body was found but lots of evidence , showed that Muriel had been their . It was the first kidnapping for ransom since Oliver Cromwell . It happened around 19 70 . I have looked to see if that story had ever been told . I am sure to be a murder high ranking officer, one has to have a very thick skin, as often my dad would come home and eat a big dinner , after being at a murder investigation . I had to small children back then , and it Often made me upset . These days I look back and wonder if their have been any documentary’s, made about that murder .
Thanks for sharing that Fiona. I remember the case of Muriel McKay as a young man. Your father investigated some of the most famous cases in England. Amazing.
Fascinating to have such close ties to such a horrible case! I've heard of the McKay story... A case of tragic misstaken identity. The kidnappers thought they'd gotten the mogul's wife, but really she was the wife of a housesitter & writer.
Absolutely agree! I have a couple days off soon; binge-Oddities are my "cup of tea ." Lol. This one was a hum-dinger, Oddie! Thank you and God bless for doing what only you do in such an amazingly sinister fashion!
I'm definitely enjoying this. I love your voice. . Beautiful video your art work is great. I love the content.my parents read detective mags so I read them too.
I must say though I have watched many of these types of stories on RU-vid, yours are the absolute best by far. I always find myself comparing them to you, Oddie, and they always fall quite short. Thank you for your hard work, the excellence definitely shows!
@@biancaswart2405 Nope, but it is a very consistent theme with people who end up committing serious crimes. To say it is just nature is naive, I think. There is a monster in all of us, and sure, it may be easier to wake in some - but it is there nonetheless, and a terrible childhood is an experience that can bring that monster out in many.
@@frankboff1260 Maybe. For many it is also confirmed by others. We like to portray these people as monsters, born as such. A lot of that comes from us not wanting to consider that we may end up the same if we lived a life such as theirs; it is very uncomfortable to look in that mirror. I'm sure some use it to elicit sympathy, but there are way too many cases where it is proven to put it aside as just an excuse.
@Valarie Parker You sound rather sure of yourself making claims you cannot prove. Just because you haven't seen your own dark side doesn't mean it can't be there. Have you ever wondered why the Nazi's in WW2 were as succesful at exterminating the Jewish people? There were way too many people who turned into a "monster" for that to just be a predetermined thing in their DNA or whatever. Really, your response just proves my point - you find it too uncomfortable to consider you may also be just as flawed as anyone else, and that you too could have ended up what you might consider a "monster". Messed up situations creat messed up people. Some can deal with that, many cannot - some of those end ip destroying their own loves, others destroy the lives of other. Life is always a play of grey shades, not black and white, as uncomfortable and complicated that may be.
@Valarie Parker As for free will: even that can be debated, rarher convincingly so. Even that assumption is not as obviously true as you seem to think. I'll not even bother to address the more personal things you just said about me; I'll just say that you don't know me, and your judgement based on 2 comments is rather... Rash?
I watched Rillington Place, the movie with Tim Roth a few years ago and it was honestly the scariest movie I've ever watched, knowing it to be real. It took quite a few big deep breaths before I found the courage to watch your wonderful account of the case. I'm glad I did though. Thank you
If you haven't already Beverley, may I suggest you watch the original film 10 RILLINGTON PLACE starring Richard Attenborough as the killer & John Hurt excellently portraying the tragic TImothy Evans? You'll love it
Neither did the Home Office when they awarded ex gratia payments to his family as compensation in 2003? He was totally innocent man..With his dying words.."but Christie did it"
Okay. I rarely look at the screen when listening to these tales because I am working on knitting projects. This time, I happened to look up right when the portrait of Ruth blinked!!! It startled me!!! I had to rewind to see if I actually saw her blink or not. LOL. What a neat feature to add to your stories.
My son showed me a photo of my son who has been dead for 26 years....and, using this app, he moved his head and blinked.....I look at it every single day.
This was very well put together. Kept my interest to the end. Remember seeing a movie of this in the USA as a teen and never forgot it. Thanks for this updated version and the photos. Unreal!
Me too! But I see RU-vid has messed with another one of my favorite channels. Extreme horror & slasher films, or movies that even show full child nudity and sex, like Blue Lagoon and Pretty Baby (both Brooke Shield movies - very good movies, but they even shocked me; especially "Pretty Baby") have no problem showing plenty of advertisements, yet a documentary channel that specializes in older horrific/strange stories can't? Or my other channels that just narrate scary bedtime/around the campfire stories?? Someone needs to make a new, less bias RU-vid channel.
Beautifully done video of a horrifying story, Oddie. Amazing work. I love the extra details you add into everything, bringing life to the subject. But what is wrong with me that I got a horrifying chill when you said "he had his dog destroyed"? Oh, the humanity!
This was the best video of John Reginald Christie I have ever seen. Very well explained and I loved the old photos. The ones with the eyes blinking and cat walking across the picture, just freaked me out! Great job!
What a vile man he was, thanks for such a wonderfully done film, you really do have a flair for telling a dramatic tale. Rest in peace to the poor ladies he violated
I have heard this case many times before, but I never heard it presented with his family background. Thank you for the new information. Well done, sir.
You my Dear Man are the Best of the Best. Thank-you again for all your work in putting these wonderful crime stories together for all to see. Take Care.
Hi oddie just thought I would mention that my great aunt lived 2 doors down from christie and my mum's school backed on to his back garden and they both watched the police take the ladies away. Great video as usual
A small bit of advice for the ladies. Should Oddie ask if you'd care for a cup of tea, be very careful of how many lumps you ask for, as it could be very detrimental to your health. Love these posts. The epilogues are especially entertaining. Great work sir.
Oddie, you never fail to make an awesome "presentation" LOL I have heard this case, before, but you added some details that I had not heard. I find that happening a lot with your videos, and that keeps me looking forward to the next!
Excellent documentary Oddie! Your whole style and presentation is top quality. I've read and watched various things about Christie but this video is so full of much more, i'd never seen the crime scene photos before, those poor women! Hiding two of them standing on their heads like that, just awful. The old man living next door to the original site of the crimes must be made of strong stuff to have lasted 40 odd years there, i'd have well bolted!😯 Thank you for such a well made informative video👍😊
Thank you so very much for another wonderfully narration of this notorious crime story. I'm familiar with the atrocity of this Evil monster. Another example of a child abuse, the damage it causes is a ripple effect. Christie took this childhood trauma to a most despicable tragic end. Your voice is lovely Oddity. Happy Holidays and to a prosperous New Year. Be kind to all. With love and Peace.
Thanks for your kind feedback my friend - very much appreciated :) I loved the book and the movie 'Christine'! (I bought the hardback edition when I was 16)
This hit the spot with Sunday coffee. Excellent presentation. Thank you! But sadly, YT did not notify me so I'm late to the party. But better late than never😊
Had See you in a presentation about Christie before, But yours is so much better. You gave more information and I do love your sound effects and photos - especially the blinking or winking eyes. Thank you
That shouldn’t have been had seen you… I have seen a presentation about him before… My arthritic hands don’t always like the keypad and I rely on the dictation function and sometimes miss mistakes
I absolutely love the story lines...the presentation...the vocabulary and the illustrations are out of this world!!!!!!Ive learned a lot about some art that i had no idea.. and I j thank you!!!Also...the movement in the illustration ..the way they become alive is fantastic!!!
My god I love your videos the content and most of all your narration its makes me so happy to see one of your notifications that you just uploaded a video. Plus your accent adds to the channel gives it alot of class too. I have to visit your patreon page. Keep up the great work. 😉
I saw the movie about this case years ago. I teared up when John Hurt was being taken to be executed. I watched this video in the dark around midnight and was not expecting to see that eyeball looking at me through the keyhole. Very sneaky, Mr. I loved it, though.
Mr. Oddie, you always do such a wonderful bang up job with these stories. The photos, the music, the pacing and your voice displays your unique artistic flair. I've never been disappointed. Cheers to you my dear man!!
You never ceases to amaze me Oddie! The quality of your work is second to none. AND you're consistently superb, which means you're not a flash in the pan, but made to last the test of time, just like your work. I have nothing to gain from complimenting you so I hope you know that I'm sincere, so - YOU ROCK ODDIE! Thank you very much for your kindness in letting everyone enjoy your presentation. 💯👍🔥😊🍻
Another awesome video Oddie❤❤ Keep up the excellent work❤❤ I've posted a few comments on your videos in the past.... I still listen to your narrated playlist every night when going to bed😊😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this.. it included many details that I hadn’t known before. It was well made and fascinating. I also enjoyed hearing your memories at the end of the video. 👍
I believe that positive and negative events can be imprinted upon a place, leaving positive and negative energy behind. But that's just me. My parents brought me up to be open minded. Best to you and Oddette!
Makes one wonder how many horrors we each may have passed by innocently in our daily lives; houses, people, gardens....gives me the shivers! GREAT episode!!👍👍👍
Your excellent video shows there have some really sick and depraved monsters in the past. Sadly, we must acknowledge that such sick monsters walk among us today!
Thanks Oddie! Now, I'll be unable to sleep for the next few nights! LOL! Seriously horrible one here. I really had never heard this story in debt like this at all - I'd heard the "Rillington Place" murders, but never all the information with it. Appreciate all the work to get it together, we are so not worthy! Even if I won't sleep for a while . . . ha!, ha! ;-)
Great video!!! Really sad about Timothy Evans though. Poor guy didn't have much sense. Wonder why Christie killed the baby when he could have sent it with the father???
My husband, a history professor, had a gift for telling stories & relating information. His voice was mesmerizing ~ as is YOURS! He has died & I miss that most about him, yet, I recently discovered YOU! How grateful I feel to have you in my midst & to be able to close my eyes & listen to you speak. While the content of your presentations are simply fascinating ~ I am especially drawn into a state of reverie by your gift.......your voice. Thank you for such a wonderful contribution.
I have always been totally fascinated with the Christie case. I too have the strongest memories of the Madam Tussauds Chamber of horrors exhibition. For a long time after the experience had to sleep under my duvet but facing the wall I could not turn my back on the wall. That would have been in the early 90s I am not sure if it is still there today. Thank you Oddie for the amazing work, entertainment and knowledge you bring us. I could listen to you talk about anything for hours. It kills me not to be able to put a face to the person. Kindest regards J XxX
It’s so much fun you start with the music and the screen start to form as this happens you feel the excitement inside knowing that whatever was going to start you soon hear the voice that you know will tell a tale better than any movie this is what we all enjoyed
A joke going around at the time (We English are fond of black humour): "Poor Christie, all those women in his house and no-one to make him a cup of tea." Also, Rillington Place was renamed Ruston Close, and was itself demolished at the end of 1970, after it had served as the location for the film "10 Rillington Place."
It's a fascinating story, just like most serial killers. Great work as ever Dearest Oddie. I live near the site of Dr Crippin's house in North London and just up the road is Pentonville Prison.
I have been listening to and watching your videos for about a week now and finally subscribed to your Patreon. Your work is fantastic, the stories are interesting, and you manage to keep my attention. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for that extremely well documented and equally as well articulated narration of such a macabre yet fascinating piece of history....oh, and St Judes Children's Hospital Research sounds like a great and worthy cause to be involved in helping, keep up the brilliant work sir!
What a ghastly fiend Christie was. I had heard about him, and another killer named Crippen. I've always gotten these two murderers mixed up. You make these stories, with the illustrations and animations so very interesting, Oddie. Thank you for posting this one. :)
Laurie P im undecided wheather Crippen did it. Theres been a lot of debated, that the torso was male. But how do you get that wrong? My theory is that Crippen had a low iQ like Tim Evans and was possibly hung a innocent man. Cora could have killed a man, to frame her husband, in order to live a new life. Sounds a bit extreme but divorce back then was frowned upon and your name would have been tainted. She was an actress and would have been hard to find work.
Thank you so much Mr Oddie for your research and eloquent presentation of these wonderful bits of macabre history. I’ve always had a morbid fascination for such things although personally I wouldn’t harm a fly........Susie
I remember seeing the British movie about this, along with your amazing narrative, it was as if I could see it play in my mind. There is no way I’d ever live around there, the energies must be rather negative. Thank you for your outstanding work!!!
Another wonderful story, I’ll be very careful when offered tea and cookies in the future 😂 I love how u use ur photos in the stories. Thank you again for more horror. I can’t wait until the next video.
Thank you, dear Oddie, for another hair raiser! The plight of Timothy Evans rather reminded me of what happened to another innocent man who was railroaded by the British "justice system" (what a contradiction in terms back then!) in the 1950s, Derek Bentley. I'm certain you've probably heard of that one from your parents, and seen the movie, Let Him Have It. Thanks to Christopher Eccleston, who did a brilliant job of playing Derek, and his friendship with the Bentley family, Derek finally got justice, albeit decades too late. It was Derek's case that was finally the tipping point that put the moratorium on capital punishment in the UK. I've only seen the movie once. I can't ever see it again. I had to close my eyes at the end, too; I was just sobbing so hard. It was just so obvious to me Derek was innocent and he'd been railroaded. Maybe you'll do his story sometime, Oddie. Love to you and Mrs. Oddie. Have a wonderful Christmas! 🌲🌲
I had heard of the Christie case, but never in such detail. Your presentation was excellent, and the way you present the account with the music and animation.
Amazing. You always handle these cases with much compassion and respect for the victims. Yet at the same time relay the horror of such events. Well done again, Oddie.
Amazing presentation as always dear oddie...Although a cup of tea will never be the same for me again....I liked the point about dark energies...Quite interesting..In India we have a concept called Vaastu...Sometimes a house itself has certain defects like a toilet in the wrong direction or a part of it is distorted and that reflects as misfortunes in various aspects of the inhabitants lives...In the same way a house built according to principles of vaastu will bless the residents with good fortune...Thank you once again for an excellent presentation ...Merry xmas from India
I am on my 2nd time on a marathon of all your programs. They all have grabbed my attention and I seem to miss some parts, or dont remember, so it's like watching for the first time all over again. You are number 1 for keeping me shocked, amazed, wonder, and just plain WoW. Keep it up please.
RU-vid sent you my way a few days ago. Since then you have provided me with that rare gem that is a good night's sleep. You sir have an excellent voice, interesting script, clear enunciation and gorgeous soundtrack. From the bottom of my heart Thank you mr oddie.
Well done, very well done, it reminds me of a case that horrified Perth Australian residents in 1986 when a couple known as the Birnies murdered four women ranging in age from 15 to 31 at their home in the suburb of Willagee near Fremantle Western Australia.
I've seen several videos about 10 Rillington Place as this is a popular topic. However, as usual, yours is the best. The graphics and narration are simply far & away the best of the pack! p.s. amazing footage of the place being taken down... I'd've hated to've been one of those people picking it down brick by brick by plastery morter 😱
My dad was fascinated by this story and always talked about this and the Derek Bentley case. I’ve read a few versions of the story and seen several tv and movie adaptations and all of them differ slightly. I also had an aunt who says she actually witnessed Christie being arrested near Putney Bridge. I enjoyed this video and would love to see one on the Bentley case.
