“If you could even guess the nature of this castle’s secret,” said Claude Bowes-Lyon, 13th Earl of Strathmore, “you would get down on your knees and thank God it was not yours.”
That awful secret was once the talk of Europe. From perhaps the 1840s until 1905, the Earl’s ancestral seat at Glamis Castle, in the Scottish lowlands, was home to a “mystery of mysteries”-an enigma that involved a hidden room, a secret passage, solemn initiations, scandal, and shadowy figures glimpsed by night on castle battlements.
The conundrum engaged two generations of high society until, soon after 1900, the secret itself was lost. One version of the story holds that it was so terrible that the 13th Earl’s heir flatly refused to have it revealed to him. Yet the mystery of Glamis (pronounced “Glarms”) remains, kept alive by its association with royalty (the heir was grandfather to Elizabeth II) and by the fact that at least some members of the Bowes-Lyon family insisted it was real.
This will be the last episode for a while, with too much work on other projects its hard for our crew to put out new ones consistently. So we are freezing patreon for now and taking a break, thanks for watching :>
Thanks for making it, guys :)
A little disappointed but I understand. Hope we will see you soon.
Sadness. I hope you return soon!
I’m sad…
I'm sad. I feel like this podcast is just as great if not better than some other podcasts with DK. (Looking at you adeptus ridiculous)
But it just hasnt gottent the visibility, the fanatic fanbase of WH40 nor the favor of the algorithm.
I'm sad to hear this will be on ice but i completely understand.
Thank you all at Unidentified Signal 99.9 FM, this channel has been a treat of mine these past months, tomorrow I ship out to boot camp and seeing this video puts a smile on my face. It's a very exciting and scary time for me right now so thank you guys for the past months. Keep up with the good work and I can't wait to see what videos you guys pump out while I'm gone.
Best of luck in the military. Keep your head down, don't argue with your superiors, push through the suck. It WILL get better.

With the whole mountain roads joke at the end there I would like to say, the Appalachia mountains are part of the same range that made up scottland when Pangea broke up, once the same region, now different countries.
Nice
on different continents
Their pronunciation of Amantillado makes me irrationally angry. Also the implication of the story is that whatever slight Montresor suffered from Fortunato was incredibly minor and Montresor is just using it as an excuse to kill Fortunato with the real reason being that he thought Fortunato was just annoying
The mention of a"romanesque" "self repairing old building material" makes me think of Roman Concrete, which I believe did that and was a "lost technology" for a while. I've heard of it being made from volcanic ash and seawater though, so I doubt you'd actually find that in a Scottish castle, both long after the fall of the Roman empire AND outside its border.
The issue wasn’t that it was lost more that Roman concrete used seawater as its curing method and that would take centuries
The self-repairing concrete was only a roman thing. They didnt know what step in the process made it self-repairing, so a lot of people cut corners or tried new recipes when making roman concrete, and all that mixed with the decline and fall of the roman empire meant that the correct way was lost, and only recently rediscovered. In the middle ages and renaissance they didnt have that. They knew a lot of architechture, and had other ways of making buildings durable (like putting the harder and heavier stones in the base of the building and saving the lighter and weaker ones for the top), but no self-repairing concrete in those times (that we know of).
if you think a dog with mange is scary, just wait until DK sees what a deer with prions is!! :)
Thank you for this new episode. I'll wait patiently for the next. Y'all are fantastic 😃
Growing up in the countryside in the UK there are plenty of castles to visit many are sure creepy. Was always a thing that as soon as a member of the friend group got a driving licence people would go out to these places in the middle of the night, scare the hell out of ourselves from unexplained noises and leave quickly! No need for security, the places are creepy enough to scare people off on their own!
Looking forward to this as I live just over twenty miles away from Glamis Castle, visited it as a kid and the tour guide caught that I was interested in the mysterious and spooky stuff so I got a few stories from them.
This episode was interesting, thinking about all the "what ifs" with Glamis castle. Slaps always delivering with his narrations and the banter with DK is so nice. Love the awesome work you guys do!
that adhesive is some sort of alchemical level lost tech, like Damascus steel
like people like to think that medieval dudes were technologically primitive but they were actually alot smarter on average that people today
electronics and industrialization really make people complacent
The Queen Mother's family had severe developmental disabilities that ran in it, so unfortunately there's probably a very sad explanation for the "monster" kept in a secret room.
There is a short horror story about almost the same legend, I guess it was inspired by Glamis. The Horror at Chilton Castle. Especially in the end the theory of letting another clan in and letting them starve is identical if I remember correctly. Great story.
56:12 "That's in crazy condition" - mate, it's a house. People live there. Right now. It's not even that old, what were you expecting??? A heap of ruins that the Queen Mother lived in?
This is interesting, I was wondering if there was any connection to Macbeth. I'd heard of Glamis not as the castle but rather as the thanedom of Macbeth himself at the start of the play, the first title by which he is hailed by the Witches.
Edit: Ah there it is at the end.
Just in love with the idea of the Devil himself being stuck playing cards with just some dude until Judgment Day
Johnny beat The Devil in a fiddle contest DK
Can we have more please? 4 week wait between releases is killing me
You might want to read the pinned comment...
The monster of Glamis? Wll this will be intreasting.
I ask again for the bloop
The people who were here before a thousand views
I don't know why the Salem trials were mentioned in a story about something that happened in Scotland.
did you know that actually in history humanity started out as a matriarchal society?
men used to compete for the honour of marrying the queen, and were then were cannibalistically sacrificed and their blood spread on the fields so that the people could absorb their strength and fertility.
it wasn't until the fear of death crept into the hearts of man that things moved towards patriarchal power structure with the kings finding loopholes to avoid being eaten.
Stop doing Adeptus Ridiculous and do this instead. It's 100x better.
