    Somewhere between the endless vineyard in the southern French countryside rests a peculiar property that has been abandoned for a quarter of a century. The family Moulin started living here before Napoleon even ruled the kingdom of France, over the years they build a successful business in grape cultivation and wine production. And the start of a beautiful story of Misses Annelies and Mister Michel end up to the birth of their daughter Caroline. Caroline was not a normal child, at first everything seemed normal but when she got to the age of puberty a change started to happen, out of the blue she went on a path of Self-neglect. She stopped grooming herself, didn’t brush her teeth anymore, and developed an alcohol addiction and her life went in a complete downward spiral. Rumors also have it that she would yell out of her window at passers-by and even threw books at them. Her parents tried everything in their power to heal their daughter but didn’t succeed in their quest. On a particular night, when she just turned 24 years old, she passed away in her sleep from alcohol poisoning. After these terrifying events happened, the parents packed their bags and never went back again to this house…

    The x-ray images Lesley held up are of an older man. The procedure in the radiographs is called an IVP, or Intravenous Phylogram. It is done to show the kidneys and the renal system. A contrast agent is injected into the vein of an arm. The technologist then takes a series of images starting around one minute all the way up to fifteen or twenty minutes. It is helpful for diagnosis of kidney stones, disease, or tumors. Every hospital in America preforms two to fifteen of these exams during the week. The reason I know about this exam is because I'm a retired Imaging Technologist, or x-ray tech.

    The 100 year old historic tractors should be brought to a museum together with the pictures of the agricultural machines !!! And 1932 newspapers - oh what a gem !! The Calvados bottle is unique - my late husband loved Calvados. The postcad written in 1919 - unreal. By the way, I adore it when you say "costume" looking at men's clothes: it is called "suit" - because "costumes" are for clowns for example :D It was again, Lesley, a great video you and your team put together.

    My favorite part was the castle ending! What a fabulous place! The story of the daughter made me sad...most likely she was the victim of abuse judging by the description of how she suddenly let herself go. This is a way to try and get the abuser to lose interest. Wine and drugs were her only escape.

    I noticed three things:
    1- The story must be older than 35 years old. The latest style you could find in that house was 80s style, so I guess that this house was abandoned in the 1980s, not in the 1990s;
    2- I haven't noticed a single photograph of Caroline and their parents hanging around. That is really, really strange, because there are other family pictures there, and they didn't take them when they left;
    3- Have they REALLY left? Some magazines, the 60´s wedding anniversay plate, pens and even a microwave show that this house - though frozen in time - still had people living in there. And the plate is proof that the couple lived there for many, many years after the death of their beloved child. However, if that is true, WHERE are the pictures?
    A really sad story with a lot of questions left unanswered. beautiful hommage, beautiful podcast, beautiful Bros.

      Mental sickness of one of the most mysterious and most tragic of all ailments that befalls humans. I still remember, all these decades later, of a woman in our village who had it. Her case was even more tragic, because she's in and out of that extreme condition. With two small daughters (about my age, at the time: we lived no more than a few houses away from each other), when she'd go into her state, she'd grab her two children and acted and spoke like she wanted to eat them; but sometime later, she'd come out of it & spoke normally again. She was left behind, by her family, when they came to the West (with us). Heart breaking. It's war time and we had to run away...

    Possibly lead-based paint could have contributed to her illness, along with teenage rebellion and alcohol. Lead poisoning was very common in older homes. Also, Victorians were obsessed with vividly-colored wallpaper, though arsenic poisoning was in those brightly colored prints. Toxic for those in style homeowners who could afford the brightly colored wallpaper. As for the lead poisoning, dear Caroline had a few symptoms. Signs and symptoms of lead poisoning in children include:
    Developmental delay
    Learning difficulties
    Irritability
    Loss of appetite
    Weight loss
    Sluggishness and fatigue
    Abdominal pain
    Vomiting
    Constipation
    Hearing loss
    Seizures
    As a realtor, we still have to hand out lead-based paint disclosures.
    also arsenic poisoning symptoms, paper arsenic turned into powder and were inhaled by families.
    A person who has swallowed arsenic may show signs and symptoms within 30 minutes.
    These may include:
    drowsiness
    headaches
    confusion
    severe diarrhea many other symptoms.

Lead in paint is sweet and children tend to eat it. Seems the family also consumed a great deal of alcohol, therefore alcoholism could be a huge contributing factor. Also, we do not know for sure that the parents didn't have any symptoms. Who knows for sure. Just my thoughts.

      The victorian era ended in 1901, so this house was in use after that. Also, led poisoning was when you slept in a bed what was painted with a led-based paint (as axemple), you realy had to make contact with the paint, with your skin (or mouth) you did'nt got it from walking past a wall withwallpaper on it led- based flower prints. I've not seen painted beds or tables in this video, so i think led poisoning is a bit far-fenched😊 the reason it was common wirh children was because of toys painted with bright coloured ledpaint and children offcourse, put things in their mouths. I also think you've got 2 story's mixed, the ledpoisening and the arsenic wallpaper-story, from the last one you did get sick from just being in the spac and inhaling it, wich is not the case with wallpaper with led-based coulors on them.

These changes are usually beneficial and optimize the brain for the challenges ahead, but may also confer a vulnerability to certain types of psychopathology. Robust changes in hormones and hormonal receptors; increasingly powerful emotional responses to social stimuli, and rapid alterations in motivation and reward systems, may underlie the onset of psychiatric disorders in late adolescence.

    Jacobean wall paper in the dining room. The speaker may have been direct communication with the kitchen staff. To move out of a home like this is a gigantic task, and many people stay rather than try to figure out where they should start, what to keep and what to let go. They use less of the home as they age, and their kids move out, until they are confined to a few rooms. We are married 47 years now, and closer than ever…but when one has gone and one remains…little matters as they wait to rejoin their beloved. This house has many memories of the lives lived out within their walls. Even now my century plus home, built in the Arts and Crafts period…filled with antiques, a library, and memories of the stages of our lives…and you can tell where we spend most of our time in, and which rooms get little use. I need to thin out some of the things we no longer use since we entertain on a much smaller scale than in the past. We have more original art than we can hang, and more bronze statuary than we have places for, art glass in abundance, and a Temple on the top floor dedicated to the ancient Gods and Goddesses. We also have items from my Mother’s death, and also from my Grandmother and Great Grandmother.I occasionally wonder what explorers like you will think of our home when we have passed and gone to our next lives. I think that odd curved wooden object may have been a two child teeter totter. As always…beautifully shown with empathy and sensitivity…thank you for this.🖤🇨🇦

    Also the thing you thought may have been a sled was actually used under blankets to place the bed warming pan on to warm the bed. They used these frames to stop bedding catching fire or becoming scorched :)

      Correct, but they are one in the same. Children would grab those frames and use them for sliding down snowy hills as they did all sorts of house hold things. The start of the wooden sled design thoughts I'm sure. :)

      This was a multi generational dwelling. Something from each generation was left. The anniversary was likely that of the older couple. The younger couple likely stayed 'til their daughter passed then may have divorced, as often happens when couples have troubled children. Maybe one was sick and died and the other went to a smaller home or in with other friends or distant family.

    Hi Lesley, wow those are very old tractors in that barn. Now I see a pretty iron table outside with such detail curls of metal as trim. Wow such pretty pink roses that still bloom after 35 yrs, in front of door to enter! Wow, amazing a 60 Anniversary plate of marriage! I love the French Doors! In the kitchen where the roof collapsed the 10 pots still hang on the wall! The tractor plaque from 1919 was unique & the mirror above is also unique! See the front door that can`t open, above you see a pretty trimmed with wood Transom glass window! So glad you didn`t fall thru floor when entering, the first bedroom, Lesley! Love the flowery clock on the night stand! The vase for the fake flowers, was made of shells this is unique! Love the glass blown airplane! Now a business office with books & papers & wow a dentist chair! Now the kitchen inside the house, it has a huge cooking pot, I never saw before! Utility room & big bathroom, but why a mirror above a Bidet, Lesley? Now going upstairs to the bedroom of the daughter who eventually died after drinking alcohol was the main thing that made her say things & they believed she was crazy but no not really, being drunk everyday is it! Wow how sad & now understand why parents wanted to leave this home from their only daughter who scream things out the window at people, that would be embarrassing & then to have this house as a reminder of their daughter for 24 yrs there! Now for next room Lesley you say 2 beds but there is a smaller bed up against the wall & a mattress on floor to the right , making it 4 beds?? I know in Europe or Belgium they call it costumes in closets, but in America we call it Clothes & costumes is for Reenactment or Halloween, Lesley! Love all the furniture thru out the Villa! As for the carving thing on the bed, Lesley I believe it is Gold...because it is more yellow color, where as Copper is more orange & is for pots, vases, coins. I believe parents kept the small crib type bed in hallway between bedrooms & in last bedroom is a small bed they were once their daughter`s beds. Huge winery barn! Nothing left to the castle, but was a great adventure with a twist of sadness for their daughter Caroline! Thanks so much Lesley, take care & love you too!!
