WEBVTT - Season 06 Episode 34: She's Electric

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Three teenage girls pulled their shawls over their heads as

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>they scurried along the muddy village lane. Rain pelted down

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in angry bursts, and thunder crackled from the brooding sky above.

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>The Normandy region of northern France where the girls lived,

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>had been experiencing tempestuous weather for eight straight days, a

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>series of intense, recurring storms of thunder and lightning that

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>seemed like they would never end. Locals were later reported

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>as saying that the atmosphere seemed to be continuously charged

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>with electricity. It was the evening of January fifteenth, eighteen

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>forty six, in Bouviny, a village in the former commune

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>of La Perriere today part of Belfrais on Persche in

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>northwest France. The three girls in shawls were on their

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>way to the home of their fourteen year old friend, Angelique,

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>who lived with her widowed aunt in a small cottage

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>on the edge of the village. Angelique Couthin, like many

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>older children in large families at that time, had been

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>sent by her parents to live with a relative where

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>she was expected to start earning her keep. Like most

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>other teenage girls in the area, this involved several hours

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>a day at a lace making loom, weaving lace for

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>her aunt, Madame Loesna to sell. The loom was a

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>large wooden structure that could hold over a hundred threads

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>at a time, through which the weaver could then weave

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>perpendicular threads in and out of. With the thunder of

0:01:55.520 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>finally starting to subside on that peculiar January evening on,

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Jelique's three friends eventually arrived at Madame loes Nard's home

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to start their own shifts at the loom. Shaking the

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>rain from their shawls and long skirts, they announced themselves

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>at the door and went inside, where they found Angelique

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>already sat at the heavy oak table on which the

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>loom was mounted. It was a humble cottage with earthen

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.279
<v Speaker 1>floors and only the flicker of candle light to illuminate

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the space, made all the darker by those thick gray

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>clouds outside. The three girls chattered as they set up

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a few more candles to light the place, then joined

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>on Gelique at the loom and got to work making

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>silk neck gloves. It was some time later, around eight

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.559
<v Speaker 1>p m. When one of the girls began to notice

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that the loom frame was shaking in a strange manner.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>It was barely perceptible at first, before it intensified violently.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Seconds later, the girls screamed out as the whole structure

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>fell off the table and crashed to the ground. Then

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>all around them the light began to undulate as the

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>candlesticks started to shake, until they too fell to the ground,

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 1>plunging the girls into darkness. You're listening to Unexplained and

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Richard McLean Smith. Having been alerted by the crash,

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Angelique's aunt demanded to know what was going on. Each

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>convinced it was one of the others, the girls scolded

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>each other as they groped around for the candlesticks and

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>quickly ReLit them, With no one seemingly willing to admit it.

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>The aunt had no choice but to help the girls

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>place the loom back on the table and let them

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>get back to work. But no sooner had she left

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the room, the loom began to tremble violently again before

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>once more being flung back down to the floor, and

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>just as before, the candles followed suit, plunging the girls

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>into darkness for the second time that evening. Moments later,

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the girl's screams were heard by neighbors as they ran

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the cottage in terror at what they'd just witnessed.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But when the neighbors rushed over to see what the

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>commotion was about, they refused to believe any of it.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>The nervous teenagers were persuaded by Angelique's aunt to head

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>back inside and return to work for a third time.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>This time, however, she stayed in the room to watch them.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>It was clear the girls were extremely nervous. They set

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>about starting up another weave, unsure of just what might

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 1>happen next. Then Angelique put her hand on the loom,

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and in an instant the frame began jiggling furiously before

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>shooting suddenly away from her. The others gasped in shock,

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>their eyes widening in utter disbelief, as Angelique then moved

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>her hand toward it again, only for it to shoot

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>back further across the table. Many people living in rural

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:40.119
<v Speaker 1>France at the time were deeply superstitious, and Angelique's aunt

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>was no different. It had been over a hundred years

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>since the last person in France had been put on

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>trial for being a witch. Even so, tales of witchcraft

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and sorcery still loomed large in the imaginations of many.

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Telling the other girl quietly to go home, Madame Loisna

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>instructed her niece to put on her shawl. Then she

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 1>marched her through the village to the home of the

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>local priest. Somewhat surprised to receive visitors so late on

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a winter evening, the priest invited the pair inside. After

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.479
<v Speaker 1>seating them in his kitchen, he listened incredulously as the

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>aunt relayed the evening's events. When she finished, she demanded

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>the priest to perform an exorcism on her niece immediately.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>The priest laughed heartily in response. It wasn't quite time

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>for that, he said, trying to ease the tension. Then,

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>without saying a word, on Jelique placed the last glove

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that she'd been weaving on a chair next to the priest,

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>immediately shot away from her and fell over with a clatter.

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Stunned speechless, the priest picked up the chair, then sat

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>down on it and asked Angelique to touch it again

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>with her glove. No sooner than she did, it shot

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>back once more with a screech, flinging the priest unceremoniously

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to the floor. Luckily for Angelique, the priest was a

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>forgiving and unsuperstitious man. After brushing himself off, he gently

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>reassured the pair that while he was happy to perform

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>an exorcism, he didn't think it would solve the issue.

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Believing it was some kind of physical malady, he suggested

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>they visit a doctor. The following day, Angelique's aunt took

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>her to local physician, doctor de Pharamont, where once again

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>she detailed everything that had been going on. But when

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the doctor asked Angelique to repeat her trick with the glove,

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>her power seemed to have deserted her. It was three

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>days later, around nine pm, when doctor de Pharamont received

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>an urgent request to go to the aunt's cottage, and

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>excited Madame Loisna greeted him at the door. It's happening again,

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>she said, as she showed him inside, where he found

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the young Angelique patiently waiting for him at the loom table.

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>The doctor looked on aghast as she proceeded to extend

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>her hand toward the loom, and without touching it, seemed

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to be able to make it rock back and forth.

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>When she moved her hand closer, grazing the frame with

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the faintest of touches, it flew back violently, as if

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>moved by some invisible force. More than a little intrigued,

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the doctor pushed the loom back into place and ordered

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the girl to try it again. As he attempted to

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>hold it in place slowly, Angelique held out her hand again,

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and the frame began to shake once more under the

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>doctor's grip, and when she touched it, it shot back again,

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 1>taking the doctor with it. Having seen enough with the loom,

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>doctor de Paramont suggested Angelique try her strange trick on

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>something a little heavier. In those instances, when the object

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>was too heavy for anyone to move, when Angelique touched it,

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>she would then seemingly be flung backwards instead. After observing

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Angelique for some time, the doctor noticed that the girl

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>became progressively tired with each event, but he had no

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>explanation for the strange phenomenon. He became even more confused

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a few days later when Angelique's abilities escalated. At first,

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the unusual force she seemed to exert affected only wooden objects,

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>but now all sorts of household items were being moved,

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>papers flew off tables. If she walked past, and heavy

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>books fell off the shelves. Metal objects were also affected,

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>although to a much weaker degree. Her seamstress's scissors once

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>flew off the waistband of her apron across the room,

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>as did metal tongs and shovels. Even burning logs started

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>flying out of the hearth if she walked too close

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to it. By then, no longer able to work on

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the loom, Angelique had been sent back home to live

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>with her parents, but things only got worse. Whenever the

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>girl approached a chair to sit down, it would be

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>seemingly flung away from her, and at night, when she

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>got into her bed, it would shake so violently she'd

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 1>be unable to sleep in it. One afternoon, while shelling

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>peas into a basket, her mother watched with alarm when

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>her daughter's dress brushed the basket, and in an instant

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it was propelled across the floor, scattering peas everywhere. Seeing

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the family's evident distress, who were also suffering financially. Since

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Angelique could no longer work, doctor de Faramont offered to

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>take her to the neighboring town where she could be

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>further assessed. On January twenty fourth, eighteen forty six, Angelique

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>was led into a consulting room and placed in front

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of three other doctors as de Paramont had a ten

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>stone wooden block placed on the floor next to him.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Then he instruct did Angelique to approach it. When her

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>dress brushed against it, the three other doctors gasped as

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the block then seemed to levitate four inches off the

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>floor before bouncing up and down roughly forty times in

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a minute. Even when doctor Devaramont sat on the block,

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it continued to do the same, and when he invited

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the three other men to sit on it too, it

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:32.359
<v Speaker 1>proved no impediment to the extraordinary event they were witnessing.

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Becoming increasingly intrigued by the phenomenon, doctor de Faramont wondered

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>if some kind of electromagnetic force was at play and

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>decided to try and isolate Angelique from any possible electric

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>current with a sheet of glass, a non conducting material,

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>positioned on the floor at a chair on top of it,

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and asked Angelique to try and move it, which she

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>was seemingly unable to do, suggesting to him that the

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>phenomenon was electrical in nature. Meanwhile, news of Angelique's strange

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>apparent powers were spreading around the region. About twenty days

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>after the episode began, another physician, doctor Verger, arrived from

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the nearby town of Belem, and offered to take Angelique

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to his home to study her further. There he exhibited

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>her on successive days to hundreds of people. By the

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.719
<v Speaker 1>sixth of February, she had been seen by more than

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>two thousand onlookers, including distinguished physicians from Belem and nearby Mortaigne,

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>as well as local magistrates, lawyers, and clerics. By the

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>end of each exhibition, the girl appeared to be exhausted,

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 1>at which times her powers would seem to fade, but

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>by the next day, invariably her disturbing abilities would return.

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>When some of the onlookers gave Angelique money. Seeing an opportunity,

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>her father resolved to make the most of this strange

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>occurrence and decided to take her to Paris, where he

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>could try and exhibit her to the masses. Though doctors

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to Pharamond and Verge advised him against the idea, he

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>would not be persuaded. It was not an enjoyable journey

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>along the muddy roads of winter time rural France by then,

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>reports of Angelique's sudden and unusual powers had spread far

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and wide, and the attention that some locals gave her

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>as they passed from village to village was not always pleasant,

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>with many believing her to be possessed by some malignant power.

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes hundreds of people would wander out to see the

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>oddity for themselves. Too scared to get close, they would

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>follow her carriage from a distance, hooting and shouting abuse

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>at the dangerous sorcerer. After arriving in Paris on the

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>twelfth of February, Angelique was taken to visit distinguished Parisian physician,

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>doctor Tonshon. He was quick to verify the girl's power

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>for himself by firmly holding a chair with both hands

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and inviting the girl to sit on it. As soon

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>as she did, both the doctor and the chair were

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>pushed backwards forcibly. Then he invited the teenager to sit

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>with him on a large sofa, and it too was

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>pushed violently back against the wall as she moved to

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>be seated. The doctor noticed that not only did Angelique's

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>clothing seem to be attracted to, but also adhered to

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>any furniture that was repulsed from her, suggesting to him

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that there was some kind of static electric charge involved.

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>He also noted that the power appeared to be far

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>greater from the left hand than the right, as well

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>as curiously from the left side of her pelvis. He

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>also observed that her left hand was warmer than her

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>right one, and it often trembled or displayed irregular contractions

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 1>during her paroxysms. If her left hand touched any object,

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>she would throw it from her as if it were

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>burning hot and prickly. At one point, the doctor accidentally

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>touched the nape of her neck, which sent the girl

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>running away, crying out in pain. It seemed the point

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>where her neck muscles met her cranium was so acutely

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>sensitive the child would not suffer even the lightest touch there,

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>saying that it burned too intensely. On occasions when Angelique's

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>powers appeared to be manifesting, doctor Tonschon took her pulse.

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>He found her heartbeat to be irregular, varying from one

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred and five to one hundred and twenty beats a minute,

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and in those moments when she appeared to be causing

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the greatest effect on surrounding objects, he believed he could

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>feel a motion in the air flowing from the girl

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 1>onto his hand, as if it was being brushed by

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:47.439
<v Speaker 1>a cold gust of wind, as he put it, just

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.959
<v Speaker 1>like doctor de Pharamont, Doctor Tonshon also demonstrated that if

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the girl was cut off from contact with the ground,

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>either by placing her feet on a non conductive material

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 1>or merely by keeping her fe feet off the floor,

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>her strange apparent power over objects ceased immediately. Ton Schan

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>wrote up his findings and published them in a scientific pamphlet.

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>He also brought the case to the attention of the

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>French Academy of Sciences at their session on February sixteenth,

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>eighteen forty six. Naturally, the learned members were skeptical. Nonetheless,

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a committee of six agreed to conduct a study of

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the girl for themselves. On February seventeenth, just over a

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>month since Angelique's apparent powers had first appeared, the team

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.439
<v Speaker 1>of six invited the girl to prove her powers once

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>more at the Jardin de Plonte, a famous botanical garden

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>in Paris. Once again, Angelique moved heavy pieces of furniture

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.439
<v Speaker 1>with only the slightest of touches. When a compass needle

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 1>was brought close to her body, it resolutes swung round

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to point at her instead of north Anngelique also claimed

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that whenever she touched the north pole of a magnet,

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 1>it gave her an electric shock, but the south pole

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.399
<v Speaker 1>had no effect on her at all. Impressed by what

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>they'd seen so far, the six scientists then tried something else.

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Back in seventeen eighty six, while investigating the effects of

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 1>electrical charge on frog's legs, an assistant to Italian scientist

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Luigi Galvani discovered by mistake that they convulsed when an

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:42.440
<v Speaker 1>electrically charged metal was applied to the sciatic nerve. Inspired

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>by the revelation, Galvani became convinced that this was proof

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of what he called animal electricity, a supposed innate force

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>in the body's nerves that controlled all living things. This,

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in turn led to the speculation that one had to

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.400
<v Speaker 1>only reignite this charge in a dead thing to potentially

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>bring it back to life. When Galvani died in seventeen

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight, his nephew, Giovanni Aldini, took up his work.

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>It was Aldini who, with much fanfare and not a

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>little theater tried to use his uncle's theory to resurrect

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a newly hanged man. The extent to which the gentlemen

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.440
<v Speaker 1>of the French Academy of Sciences were influenced by Galvani's theory,

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 1>or the novel Frankenstein, for that matter, which was partly

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 1>inspired by the idea and not known. Nonetheless, in a

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>certain nod to it, they decided to see what effect

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>on Jelique might have on the nervous system of a

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 1>dead frog. Using a voltic pile, a precursor of the

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:57.160
<v Speaker 1>modern day battery, they instructed on Jelique to stand close

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to it, while on her forearm they placed a skinned

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and partially dissected frog so that its spinal column and

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>nervous system could clearly be seen. When they asked her

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to then touch the battery with her free hand, the

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:19.360
<v Speaker 1>frog's dissected corpse began suddenly to twitch and jump, terrifying

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the young girl out of her wits. In truth, the

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.199
<v Speaker 1>scientists would have likely got the same result from the

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:37.119
<v Speaker 1>frog with anyone, not just the so called electric girl,

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 1>since any human body will conduct electricity, But the experiment

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>left on Jelique so traumatized that She endured nightmares about

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 1>it for several months afterwards, and over the course of

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the next few weeks, as if they'd been scared right

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>out of her, Angelique's strange apparent powers began to steadily diminish.

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.440
<v Speaker 1>All this time, Angelique had been giving daily public performances

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.560
<v Speaker 1>for money, but by April tenth, her supposed powers had

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:14.119
<v Speaker 1>all but evaporated. Soon it became clear that her father

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.199
<v Speaker 1>was deliberately moving the furniture around her in an effort

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to keep up the mystery. Due to a public outcry, however,

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>he eventually gave up the charade. By the end of April,

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Angelique's apparent gift had ceased completely, never to return. It

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>was at this point that the Committee of Eminent Scientists

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>started to backtrack. Despite carrying out what by today's standards

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>would be seen as a shameless exploitation of the girl

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>for their own ends, some committee members suggested that she'd

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>been a fraud all along. When their final scientific report

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:59.680
<v Speaker 1>was published, it remained inconclusive, giving no indication as to

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the court or cessation of the girl's apparent powers. In response,

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>some of the doctors who'd claimed to have witness the

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 1>strange phenomena, when at the height of its power, compelled

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the Committee to think again, writing, it matters not what

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.439
<v Speaker 1>name we may give to this the effects it is

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 1>impossible to deny. The more we have seen, the deeper

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 1>our conviction of the phenomenon, we have examined and re examined,

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and taken every precaution against deception. I do not say

0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>what cause was operating, but what effects presented themselves removed

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>even the shadow of a doubt. It is perhaps a

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.199
<v Speaker 1>testament to those times that we have no record of

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Angelique Kutar's own thoughts on her remarkable experiences, or what

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>effect the events of early eighteen forty six had on

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 1>her afterwards. All that we do know is that she

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>is said to have simply gone back to living a

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 1>normal life. Her case remains to this day Unexplained. This
