Oddie's Historical Feature – Reedit from 2016 with narration
The most detailed & sympathetic documentary on YouTube about the Collyer Brothers from New York.

Welcome to another 'Oddie's Historical Feature'!
As well as looking at strange people through history, I'll be also presenting strange but true events that leave many questions unanswered.

This is the true story of Langley & Homer Collyer and the Brownstone they live in on 5th Avenue in Harlem, up until the late 1940's.
Not only did their hoarding become an obsession, but also Langley's determination to keep thieves and the curious...out!
Booby traps were set to trap any daring intruders, because many thought their mansion was filled with exotic treasure, and that the two brothers sat on plies of hoarded money & gold.
