Dark and Tragic True Crime Stories From the Past - Compilation
Paul Brodie posted one video this week, and it is a long one. "Dark and Tragic True Crime Stories From the Past - Compilation" gathers seven cases into a single sitting of more than two and a half hours. It opens with the death of Charles Walton and moves through Peter Kurten's crimes, John Any Bird Bell, the first woman sentenced to death in California, the Crumbles murders on the English coast and the case of Lesley and Eileen Gaff. It ends on the Maybrick mystery.
The comment section shows what a compilation is for on this channel. Viewers from London to Belgium to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley say they put Paul on at night, several thank him specifically for the longer uploads, and one keeps returning to the Charles Walton chapter and the village silence that surrounded it. It passed 70,000 views in its first five days.
Not everything moving is new. A 12-day-old episode on an unsolved 1902 San Francisco case, built around a newspaper job advertisement that led a teenage girl to a vacant house on Sutter Street, is still drawing steady attention. Further back, a summer documentary on British folklore, from the Bean Nighe to the Salmon of Knowledge, keeps finding listeners more than two months on.
The channel as a whole held close to its usual daily pace, and the subscriber count stayed level at 614,000. Among true crime channels of a similar size, the busy weeks belonged to Brian Entin and Attorney Larry Forman, both well above their norm. Well, I Never stayed steady, at the more measured, historical end of the room its about page describes.
