Hello Internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life's

Biggest Questions - the place where we can't help ourselves when it comes to dreaming up

an imagined world where demonic entities are as common as a garden gnome.

What's going on guys - as per usual, I'll be your spirit guide Jack Finch - as we scramble

around the basement - hope to high heaven that our exorcism classes have paid off - and

curiously ask the question - What If Bathsheba Was Real?

Roll the clip.

Before we slide on in - you know what's up, hit that thumbs up button if you're

a fan of this video, Ed and Lorraine Warren - The Conjuring universe - or just LBQ in

general - and if you'd like to stay up to date with our latest and greatest uploads,

then be a dear and ding that subscribe bell for your daily dose of big, bad questioning.

On with the show.

Bathsheba Sherman, the evil spectre of the devil worshipping witch who reigned throughout

the 1800s - is tied vicariously through local legend, horror cinema and factual historical

evidence to the Haunting in Harrisville, Rhode Island.

She makes an absolutely terrifying antagonist for the 2013 horror film The Conjuring - written

by Chad and Carey Hayes and directed by James Wan - which left audiences lingering with

a prominent sense of dread, and a reignited curiosity for the macabre world of New England

folklore.

Witches - both through legend and modern interpretation - can be spooky, right?

Take the Salem Witch Trials - a mirror between two worlds, the factual study of mass hysteria

- and a peculiar insight into the Occult.

Two separate entities divided.

We sleep soundly at night with the cold, hard cap of logic - for the most part, we can rest

our laurels on witchcraft and demonic apparitions being the stuff of fiction, a story to scare

children into behaving.

But - what if Bathsheba was real?

Well, I hate to break it to you - but she was.

To segway - the name Bathsheba is interesting enough in itself, and while it may sound like

a Demonic utterance - it's actually badass - and rooted in some pretty heavy history.

The name consists of two elements - the first being bat, meaning daughter in Hebrew.

And the second being sheba - meaning seven.

As a whole it means to make an oath.

An oath to who, you may ask?

Well - in this case, perhaps the Devil.

But I'm avoiding that correlation and saying nothing.

Or am I?

According to historical records, Bathsheba was born Bathsheba Thayer in Rhode Island

in 1812 - she married fellow Rhode Islander Judson Sherman at a small ceremony in Thompson,

Connecticut on March 10th 1844, adjudicated by Vernon Stiles, a local Justice of the Peace.

In actual fact - Bathsheba and Judson were a fairly well off couple - where Bathsheba

filled the role of housewife and Judson worked as a farmer on their land.

The two of them eventually had a child in March of 1849 - where Bathsheba was 37 years

of age.

There is an allusion to the couple having three other children as well - but none of

them survived past the age of seven.

A red flag?

Perhaps we'll see.

If we take New England folklore as gospel - then Bathsheba Sherman lived an incredibly

nefarious life.

But this is the point where historical lines are blurred, and a demonstration that sometimes

- a society chooses to fill in the gaps themselves.

The tale has varying degrees of severity, but we'll try and fill in all the holes

as best we can.

Suspicion initially grew when an infant child mysteriously died while in Bathsheba's care.

After the baby's death was examined - it was found that the mortal wound was caused

by a large sewing needle that had been impaled at the base of the child's skull.

Eventually - a court found that Bathsheba was innocent of any wrongdoing, and was in

no way related to the infant's death.

Although she was legally cleared of any misdeeds, the public however were not so convinced.

As the legend goes - Bathsheba was actually related to a woman named Mary Towne Eastey

- one of the many witches who were controversially executed in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692

- and this bloody ancestral tie was never forgotten by Bathsheba.

A week after she had given birth to her baby son - her husband Judson caught her in a twisted

and vile form, a spectre of the woman that he'd married - while attempting to sacrifice

their baby to the Devil himself.

Exposed - Bathsheba climbed to the top of a tree outside the family home - cried into

the night sky, proclaiming her love for Satan - and cursed all those who would ever step

foot on her desecrated land.

She then hung herself from the tree - but supposedly, her spirit lingered on.

On that point - it is interesting, because historical records show that the Sherman's

farm - known as the Old Arnold Estate - actually had a very bloody and mysteriously murderous

past.

According to Andrea Perron - of the family that later lived in the house, eight generations

had lived and died in the Old Arnold Estate prior to their arrival.

As The Black Book of Burrillville shows - the towns public records book - over the span

of the property's history - there were two suicides by hanging, one suicide by poison,

the rape and murder of eleven-year-old Prudence Arnold, two drownings, and the death of four

men who froze to death.

Is this bloody history down to Bathsheba's curse, or just mere unfortunate circumstance?

As with all things old and mysterious - it's hard to tell.

So what happened with the Haunting in Harrisville?

The Perron family, plagued by a perturbed spirit - allegedly punctured repeatedly with

a sewing needle from an unknown force, and fell victim to over ten years of violent paranormal

activity.

But - ten years?

That's a long time to live under the threat of a malevolent demonic witch, right?

The Perron family, Roger Perron and his wife Carolyn - purchased the property in the winter

of 1970 - a place to raise their five daughters: Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cynthia and April.

Eventually - they moved out in June of 1980 - after paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine

Warren advised them that the property was plagued by demons.

Bathsheba.

A folk tale that was responsible for the grave misdeeds of the past.

Perhaps they were wrong.

Perhaps Lorraine had struck lucky with her investigation, and found a local legend that

fit neatly as an explanation to the unexplainable.

It's comforting to have reason - isn't it - even if it is a demonic spirit.

Well unfortunately - that's all we've got time for today folks - what are your thoughts

What is the difference between dry and wet stocktakes - Duration: 2:39.

Today I want to talk about the difference between food stocktaking, sometimes known

as dry stocktaking and wet stocktaking. Let's start with wet stocktaking. Wet

stocktaking is as it suggests, it's all your wet stock,

it's everything that comes through the bar, so it's your spirits, your bottle beers, your

soft drinks, your draft beers, lagers, wine. But we also include in that your bar

snacks, so your chocolate, your crisps, your quavers and all those sort of things.

Where as the food stocktaking... with wet stocktaking we produce

a fully extended report, so it shows line by line what you paid, what you pay

for that at cost price, what your opening position was, what you purchased,

any credits going back, your closing stock, your selling price, your average day

stock holding, your gross profit for that line and your average sales. It then

takes that down through section by section, it summarizes by section, so you'll have a

section for draft beer, bottle beer, minerals, spirits, liqueurs, vamouth,

fortified wine, wine and then snacks. So you can see line by line, item by

item, exactly what money you're making on each item, and how much

you've sold. Whereas food stocktaking we produce a trading account, because you

might buy in 10 kilos of mince and you might use some for lasagne, some

for chile, say. Or you're buying in large jars of pepper, which you are gonna

use a little bit in this dish, a little bit in that dish, so it has to be a trading

account. So what does that mean? Means we count all your stock, we put

all your purchases on, so that we can value that accurately, we take away any

credits you've got. We've got an opening and a closing stock, so we can tell

you exactly what gross profit you've made, because you've given us your income.

It means you can measure, again what you've made, GP wise, against your target,

if there's a variance we can look at that and decide is a buying issue, is a

theft issue, is it a pricing issue. When we sit down with both the wet and

the food at the end of a stocktake and discuss it with you, so you can make

informed decisions in your business to push your business forward.
