Some of the Most SINISTER Crimes from the Past - Episode Compilation | True Crime | Well, I Never 

Catherine Hayes’ story is an absolute horrific one. My jaw dropped to the floor when Mr. Brody said that it might be her son.

This is how true crime should be done: From a historical perspective, long after anyone directly affected has passed. Without taking that time, true crime is just exploitation - turning a horrific event into entertainment, even as families could still be grieving.. Thank you, Well, I Never, for taking that time. This channel proves over and over that there are plenty of fascinating stories that can be told without crossing that line.

My great great grandfather (on my dads side) DC James Anderson was the detective who caught Amelia Dyer. When my grandparents passed away, my dad found the evidence (the parcel found in the river that you included at 30:27) in their attic - detectives could keep evidence back then - and took it to the Reading Police Museum. What’s also weird is that my mum’s great grandmother moved into Amelia Dyers house in Reading after her. Years later, my mum and dad met and ended up married.

1 hour of Mr. Paul Brodie's amazing stories and voice! Well, I never!

the details of the first story, the head on the pike, the oedipal murderers, the block to the head. It's absolutely insane. How has that not been made into a movie yet?

I am absolutely in love with his voice and the way he tells stories..! He keeps my attention the entire way through and makes it feel as if he is talking to me directly instead of to his camera... Love the stories he finds and his blast from the past outfits are awesome..! He and Mr.Ballen are my 2 favorite story tellers, hands down!!!

I love how you cover lesser known, but very intriguing, and interesting stories

Mr. Paul, no idea how I found you, but, I'm glad I did. Amazing storytelling

Some say that the world is at it's worst today, but looking back at history and it's vile events such as chronic plagues, famine and war where you were lucky to make it to 20- I'd say humanity has gotten better. The crimes were atrocious as well, and how they were handled is nothing short of a crime in itself. How in the hell did anyone deal with life sober back then? Probably why alcohol played a key role in humanity for centuries.

This is my first time watching your channel. My mum is Scottish from Dundee, near Broughty Ferry, and I miss the UK. I just adore your voice and your delivery of the cases here: not to mention your excellent research and presentation. So happy I have found the channel.

This channel came up as a suggestion after watching another favourite true crime storyteller of mine. Why wasn't this suggested earlier??? Absolutely brilliant!!! Whoever you are Mr. Narrator, you have got this down to perfection. The atmosphere, the studio (if I may call it that), the fascinating stories, and even your attire, make it eerily feel like you are actually reporting these horrific crimes from the times they took place. A sort of "News At Ten" from the past. And the added illustrations and "live scene" shots complement the story telling. I have many hours of your content to look forward to, and so has my daughter, who I know will enjoy all your hard work. Say hello to a new subscriber, thank you 👍

Having trouble sleeping, I decided to watch some documentaries and came across your channel. Amazing storyteller and the background music and your soothing voice relaxed me and I started falling asleep. But I didn’t want to fall asleep because I wanted to listen to your stories! 😊

I really appreciate how you shed light on the hardships, discrimination and inequality that women faced every single day. It allows me to see how far we've come as a socity and, yet, how much more progress we have yet to gain.

With the current trend for a return to some imaginary, rose tinted glorious past people need to take note of the reality of the past. While I studied for my History degree a fellow student and myself used one of our holidays to do some research into a subject we'd both run across in other academic modules. We looked into the instances of women taking their own lives due to finding themselves destitute, pregnant or generally crushed by the harsh and cruel attitudes of those who handled the levers of power in the class ridden Victorian society. We concluded that those who dwell on a return, for instance, to a society governed by such values are deluding themselves with their highly selective view of the past. Thank you for another fabulous piece of work Paul. I do hope you excellent videos help to educate and inform people who haven't been exposed to the harsher realities of our country.

Another great episode. I think it's important to remember that only pretty stupid criminals faced justice. The mill, mine and factory owners, the politicians, those in holy orders and the landed gentry largely got away with it. Come to think of it, things have improved only slightly.

You Sir, have an amazing gift of being able to engage people when telling stories. Well, I never, that hour flew by. New subscriber here!

Always love your content! Such a wonderful energy you have and such fascinating historical journeys you take us on! Thank you!

she threatened to kill herself if the wedding didn't happen... that's when you definitively know to never marry this woman.

I don't even know how I found it in the first place but I just realized I love this channel so much - I'm currently in quarantine so seeing this hour long video uploaded really made my day! I also really love your way of narrating these things, it's very pleasant listening to you

Just as I wanted to comment on how your way of storytelling would be perfect for the story of H. H. Holmes, you began telling it. Thank you. ❤️

I appreciate the filming on location where you could, not always possible but it adds a nice element.

A really good show,free from flashy music and ominous voiceovers.love it!

Obsessed with this channel. Stories are clear with good amount of details so it doesn’t get boring and also cases I’ve never heard of which is nice I’ve been looking for older crimes. He also has a great narration voice.

I take my hour in the morning or after dinner to watch and learn from this channel. Every topic interests me ❤️Thank you very much

A whole hour of listening? Well, I never! Thank you for your content, as always!

I won't get to listen to the whole video right now, but as soon as get these heathens off to school I know what I'm doing!! Brilliant!

Great idea to do a compilation, Paul 👍 Really look forward to watching this..

This channel is the main reason I got RU-vid and premium so I can listen with no commercials

I love the stories, the delivery and that accent!! "Well, I never" makes me think of the classic stories I used to listen to from BBC. I miss them!!! I'd almost swear the gentleman is either a Squire or Baronette ( sp?). I've never been to the UK, but always wanted to go there! Great work, sir!! and I so look forward to future installments!!!

Where people usually focus on the perpetrators, I find your channel refreshing in the amount of attention given to the victims. These are the people who were often just going about their lives in general anonymity, but who may have meant the world to their loved ones. Acknowledging them, even for the briefest moment, so many years later seems like honouring not only them, but every single man and woman who lived a decent life, never made it into the history books, but contributed in some very minute way to keep mankind around for as long as it has. People like most of us, basically, who will be forgotten, but in their cases were not even allowed to live out their lives in peace. By giving the victims a face and background, the true tragedy becomes a lot clearer. Thank you for making your narrations so personal.

This channel is the best! I've been looking for one that covers historic true crimes in an engaging and respectful tone. I have many books on the subject, but sometimes you'd rather hear it covered by an engaging and creative narrator. Thank you for doing what you do :)

Your channel is my happy place. I love the stories, the impeccable research, the balanced analysis, and the melodic voice and sartorial elegance of the presenter. EXCEPTIONAL!

In historical times, "jail fever" or "gaol fever" was common in English prisons, and is believed by modern authorities to have been typhus. It often occurred when prisoners were crowded together into dark, filthy rooms where lice spread easily.

WOW!!! A series of stories by my favorite historian of unusual behaviors. Fabulous. Thank you!

Excellent. Imagine having this level of quality in entertainment and education in the 21st Century. Well, I never...

Love this long episode I’ve played it twice and fallen asleep straight away 😴 thank you ! Can’t wait for some more longer ones ❤️

This came on as an automatic video after another I was watching...... Bloody brilliant!!! Liked and subbed. Even your voice is absolutely perfect for narration.❤️

Excellent clear narration.

i love true crime from the past AND your narration.... thank you!

I do love these stories, but the way you tell them improves them enormously. Thank you.

I love hearing the stories of murder back in the old days They we're the murders that we never knew about! I can't wait for the next one to be told!

I have just come across this channel and am intrigued as I'm currently reading a book called Rivals of the Ripper. Unsolved murders of women in late victoriana London. So enjoyed the fact that you are doing similar stories.

Only somewhat recently found your channel and how glad I am that I did! My only regret is that I have now completely caught up on all your videos xD Your work is very well done! I really appreciate the calm, factual, and respectful manner in which you present the details and information of a story or case, and the moments of wit, breaking expression, or occasional giggles are perfectly sprinkled in. Especially for the stories set in England, I love that you go to their present day locations to show them as well. Rambling now, but again, amazing work, and thank you for sharing it with us!

Long form content with such high quality throughout is a pretty rare find on YT - I’m very glad to have found this channel

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You are the first person I have ever heard tell the actual facts of the H.H. Holmes Case. So many people just vomit out the sensationalized stories that were published at the time and not the actual police records of the events.

Found another older true crime channel 2 add to my bedtime list, going on the list with BRIEFCASE and Deadly Women. Thank you 4 being such a wonderful story teller few people have gift of storytelling anymore

I love to listen to you thank you for taking the time to share these stories with us ,blessing from New Orleans Louisiana

That was brilliantly done! Loved the content and the presentation is absolutely the best on RU-vid. I've played it three times now. It's just superb

Stumbled upon this channel by accident, subscribed because of the quality content! 😊 I had no idea the Victorian era was so brutally bloody! Interestingly, the extreme violence cannot possibly be blamed on the influence of video games, films and the like, leading to a head scratching quandary!

I found this accidentally but I can’t stop watching them his voice makes it really watchable I watch a lot of crime programmes but really love this one thank you x

I love this show!! Your narration is superb, and it's so beautifully presented. It's so very interesting how crimes were investigated, and punishments administered. So different today. I love your channel, Thank-you!!! 💕

I really like this compilation of short stories. Just perfect!!

H H Holmes was truly on another level. He must have thoroughly enjoyed his chosen "profession". It can't have been only for the money.

I clicked on the video and seeing the length of the it I was “Buckle in, this will be fun!” I was excited to see a compilation of several of his amazing stories! I haven’t missed an episode and totally enjoyed perusing through these again Thank you for your incredible stories and gifting us with your incredible story telling!

What a wonderful way to wake up! I forgot to turn my alarm off and when I picked up the phone to do so, there appeared a notification from you! I forgot all about going back to sleep. Lol. Thank you. Love the argyle sweater! I love it and it's hard to find now. I like real ones, not the ones with the pattern printed on the front. Hope you're having a good day, or evening as I don't know where you are and thank you again for the video! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

You got some doozies there! I didn’t know much of HH Holmes story. He lives up to his rep even eliminating all of the myths. What a scoundrel! Nice long WIN vid. Thank you. ☕️🌻

I was quite happy to see the length of this video. I love your narration and attention to detail. Your channel is the best!

My husband could be a decendant of Kate Webster. I saw her name at Wandsworth Prison as she was one of the last women to be hanged there. I always wondered what the story was, how fascinating! Thanks for covering 😊

Your delivery is impeccable. The vast majority of these tales I've never heard of before. So much research. Thank you for your work, sir.

Love this channel, LOVE the way the stories are presented. Always looking forward to the next episode.👌👌👌

you have a very good narration voice, and i love how you deliver the information. Victorian crime is always interesting, especially when the coppers track down the criminals, and how they figure it out with the limited science they had.

What a delightfully lengthy surprise! And you put up a normal video today as well. Keep it up! Your channel has grown 10 fold from when I first stumbled upon it and I believe it's only up from here for you :3

I do indeed love historical crime. Thank you for your hard work with each video. Stellar story telling

You have such a pleasant and easy listening voice. Only one problem, it relaxes me so much that I keep nodding off.....LOL. Really enjoy listening to you tell us these stories. I believe that you and Mr. Ballen are the best story tellers I have ever listened to here on the internet. Thank you for sharing with us and you have a new subscriber.

This is my first time to this channel, and I love it! You’ve got a new subscriber. Such interesting, unique stories that I’ve never heard about before. Very refreshing. I love your narration and your passion just seeps through the screen! Xxx

Michael Bonacini (Master Chef Canada judge) sounds-a-like...very prim and polite..i wish they can teach this technique of speaking into school curriculums.

A stellar job again, with entrancing narration! Thank you from across the pond for busting myths surrounding HH Holmes. He wasn't a serial killer. He killed those who were inconvenient to him or could make him some money. The "Murder Castle" was newspaper sensationalism, which unfortunately continues to be believed today.

Am I sick for laughing at several parts of the first story, about 'Katherine'? I mean it's one absurdity after another. I think my favorite was the bit about the head displayed on a pike, like "Anybody missing a head?" 🤣

I really enjoy the longer length videos. Please keep up the great job.

Let the early weekend begin with Mr. Brodie's amazing story telling skills. Thank you for this amazing content and the delivery.

Ooh a few stories in one, yay. Thank you dear one. Huge fan. Blessed be.

I absolutely love this channel! Great work, fantastic history.

I love history and I enjoy true crime but until now I didn't know I needed them combined. Lovely stuff, love the channel, I just discovered you. ❤

I absolutely loved watching this it’s really good and the way the stories are told is so well done you don’t want to move until the video is finished. I love listening to history and learning about the past . Thank you so much by far one of my favourite channels ❤️🥰❤️

I love listening to your true stories from the past and love your voice.❤

I think if my name was Herman Mudgett, I would be grumpy, too. -HOWEVER…

I like this gentlemen's voice and manner of storytelling.It is very calming before bed.Thank you,sir.

You had me at "adulterous and wicked!" lol :) Great storytelling! Love your channel! :)

I don’t know how or WHY I haven’t found your channel until today but maaaaannnn am I glad it was recommended to me ❤️

Brilliant storytelling! Thank you Sir! These are incredible and very chilling, cannot believe humans are capable of doing such horrible things!🥺

Hello Mr Brodie, I am enjoying yet another wonderful episode of Victorian crime stories. I love listening to your soothing voice. I’m a subscriber and a fan. Thank you for your attention to detail and truth in each story. Awesome work!

This is a dream come true. One of my favorite subjects for 60 plus years told to me by a voice I can fall asleep listening to. The storyteller is kind of cute too.

How perfect to have your lovely voice to tell crime stories to us.

I love this content. Paul is the sort of guy you want to go to a country pub with a fireside and just listen. Seeking out his stylist. So, so cool.

First time listener! Noticed the channel links to Ask a Mortician and That Chapter and i cannot describe how much it joys me to have another great channel on my list of favorites. A great find and right at the right time as i finish my exams and have time to enjoy stories and sew some pouches :)

Excellent narration and introducing me to crimes I hadn't heard about. Well done!

Excellent video. Fascinating stories & great presentation. Thanks!

Thanks for this...very good narrative😊

Immediately got hooked on this channel

A great compilation, loved every minute off it.

As gruesome as the content was, your research and delivery of events were mesmerizing and captivating...

Amazing storytelling I listen to you often

Fantastic beard I have to say.

Thank you for this upload, love your content. Cheers from the land Down Under. ✌️

How right you are Sir, true crime is a passion of mine ❤️

Thank you for that wonderful hour. It’s a pleasure to listen to your voice. Very relaxing, even when you are talking about the most horrific crimes.

He sounds an awful lot like a podcast I used to listen to but can't remember the name of it ... Very nice voice for telling tales

Sir,. I got here accidentally. I stayed for your voice! I wonder if you possibly participate in Audiobooks? If not, could you please consider it? The stories here are very gripping. Wishing you very happy holidays and may you prosper in endeavors 🙏😊

Whoa! An hour? Is it one of our birthdays? Thank you from a relatively new subscriber in Cape May, New Jersey.

Riveting voice and stories! Thank you
