THE IMPOSING DOMED STRUCTURE seen at the beginning of this episode is called the "Portal of the Folded Wings", a shrine to aviation. The small scale Space Shuttle is a memorial for those that died both on the Challenger and the Columbia.
The shrine is a 75-foot-tall structure of marble, mosaic, and sculpted figures and is the burial site for fifteen pioneers of aviation. It was dedicated in 1953 by aviation enthusiasts who wanted a final resting place for pilots, mechanics, and other pioneers of flight.
Dedicated to the honored dead of American aviation on the 50th anniversary of powered flight, December 17, 1953, by Lieutenant General Ira C. Eaker USAF (retired). Beneath the memorial tablets in this sacred portal rest the cremated remains of famous flyers who contributed so much to the history and development of aviation.
THOSE BURIED THERE:
Bertrand Blanchard Acosta (1895-1954), co-pilot with Admiral Richard Byrd in 1927
Jimmie Angel (1899-1956), discoverer of Angel Falls - his ashes were later removed and scattered over the falls.
Walter Richard Brookins (1889-1953), flew for the Wright brothers
Mark Mitchell Campbell (1897-1963), stunt pilot and aircraft designer
John Franklin Bruce Carruthers (1889-1960), Chaplain of the Portal of the Folded Wings and air historian. His epitaph reads: "At the grave, when my warfare is ended. Though no flowers emblazon the sod. May a prayer mark the good I intended. Leaving all decoration to God."
Warren Samuel Eaton (1891-1966), Colonel and early pilot who built airplanes for Lincoln Beachy
Winfield Bertrum Kinner (1882-1957), a.k.a. Bert Kinner, built "Kinner" airplanes. Amelia Earhart flew a Kinner.
Augustus Roy Knabenshue (1876-1960), balloon and dirigible pilot who flew in the Dominguez Air Meet in 1910 and manager of the Wright brothers exhibition team, the "Wright Fliers."
John Bevins Moisant (1868-1910), won the Statue of Liberty Race in 1910; first to carry a passenger across the English Channel.
Matilde Moisant (1878-1964), the second licensed female pilot in the United States in 1911
Elizabeth Lippincott McQueen (1878-1958), one of Los Angeles's first female pilots
James Floyd Smith (1884-1956), test pilot and instructor for Glenn Martin and manufacturer of parachutes. He built and flew his own plane in 1912 and invented the free-type manually operated parachute for the Army in 1918.
Hilder Florentina Smith (1890-1977), aerial acrobat and parachute jumper. She was married to James Floyd Smith.
Carl Browne Squier (1893-1967), World War I aviator, barnstormer, test pilot, and salesman. As Vice President of Lockheed Aircraft he sold Charles and Anne Lindbergh their Sirius airplane in 1931.
Charles Edward Taylor (1868-1956), machinist for the Wright brothers who helped design and build the first engine for the Wright Flyer flown at Kitty Hawk.

THIS STORY:
The Blackburn Cult, officially the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, or the Great Eleven Club, was a new religious movement started in 1922 by American woman May Otis Blackburn. She started the group on Bunker Hill in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and later formed a retreat in the Southern California Simi Valley.

Interesting story! I find it sad that people can be so lost that they need to seek guidance or acceptance joining these dangerous cults.
Agreed absolutely. Understand it is the dynamic of the empath or co dependent and the controller or narcissist. Falling prey to the con but some are awoken and the house of cards comes down!
Their still joining them today...
@@Desireesorenson it’s perpetual unfortunately.
I was in one but here's how it worked. They used the Bible and taught from it but behind the scenes, they were abusing the finances. One of the ministers confronted them and they put him out so he posted a letter on the internet. I read it and decided to leave. I wasn't going to bring people to church to be cheated.
@@heididietrich9800 oh...they wanted you to like recruit...save their souls less they fall victim to satan's legions... something like that?
This was a sad and maddening story. She will reap the what she sowed on everyone in this story. Rip wila and all the family’s. Thank you Ron for sharing this with us. Be safe and can’t wait for the next one.
This is a truly gruesome story but thank you for sharing it. The depths human nature can sink to in the name of religion or in the pursuit of financial gain is beyond belief. Poor Willa I hope she is resting in peace in heaven as for the others involved in her death I’m sure they are keeping themselves warm in the other place. You have a wonderful way of narrating these stories and very respectful , thank you again.
Absolutely! But I think the most importantly the con!
The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. This woman did *everything* for her idol, mammon.
To me "religion" is man made.The road to Hell is paved with "good" intentions.Ha!
I love the bright yellow flower you so tenderly placed on Willa's grave Ron. She sure was a porcelain doll. Poor thing. Have a blessed day Ron! Stay safe brother!
The space shuttle is to commemorate the Challenger and Columbia disasters.
The building behind it has many from the space industry.
The building at the beginning - I believe a plane crashed into that some time ago.
I think I saw it on a video by Hollywood Graveyard?
Yes, I saw that too.
yes, all was outlined in description box, lots of details there.
Wow what a nice architecture design...thumb up Ron for the effort and research you have done for this blog ..you always make sure that every episode you do is the best ..your are respectful in ever tombstone you visit and also give flower very kind heart you have ..Bec of the cult many lives are wasted for non sense thing...my heart breaks for the family who lost there loves ones Bec of that cult...keep safe and blessed be 💕☺️
Thank you for doing this story, Ron!! Thank you for remembering Willa and the other victims. I like how you mentioned May not resting in peace as a jet was flying overhead!
Ron this one was wild- you're right you can't make this stuff up! Very dark stuff and you can see in the pictures of those people, they look demented! I absolutely loved your narration and delivery when you said she's not resting in peace, the planes flew overhead, and that you're sure she's where she belongs- down in that fiery place! Honest assessment and it caught me off guard- funny delivery too!😉 great job uncovering this twisted story!
Thank you for being respectful to our dead
The shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry on 2/1/2003. It's probably there as a memorial to those lost.
Your stories are very interesting. Thank you.
Excellent.I am looking forward to another wonderful episode, when you release things, thats my favorite part of the week.Thanks Ron!
You and me to he's good I love the way tell us the story
My baby brother is buried here.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry about your baby brother.
I can imagine the SMELL that was coming from the box under the floorboards 🤢 poor Willa (and those puppies) it must've been shocking to find her body in a box under the floorboards.
Rest in peace Willa Rhoads
Poor innocent puppies. So sad.
What a great story and video thanks for taking me along with you today! Enjoy your channel very much!
My grandmothers property was across the street of the end of Valhalla. If I stood in her front yard I could see almost to the dome. The dome is a tribute to famous flyers.
yes, in the description box.
Janis any relation to Agnes O'Connor??
I love all the interesting stories that you delve into and find your channel fascinating learning the background stories to all of the beautiful graves and often sad tales they leave behind ....thankyou
Exquisite carvings and I really like that archway. The info on that structure and 15 influential people was so interesting.
Sad story and frightening how gulible the victims were and easily beguiled out of money, lives, and then to have the leader be exonerated from all wrong doing. Sickening how they dance around the laws and find loopholes.
No better stories than non fiction! I'm so glad I found your page! Thank you for all you do 😎👍🏼
Glad you like them!
Cults to me are more terrifying than any boogeyman, the depths that people fall is astonishing
It’s interesting that they have that sign saying stealing flowers is a crime, and there are no flowers to be seen on any of the graves.
Probably stolen 😉
Respect that flower was beautiful ty
Awww looking forward to seeing this when I finish work tomorrow!! All weekend I have been watching this channel enjoying the stories and even watched the film about the Earps family!! ☺️Love it!! ❤️
Thank you Ron!!
Glad you found Willa's grave, young, innocent, beautiful Willa, Thank you 😔❤️
HI I enjoy all your stories of the forgotten. I'm wondering if you've done a story on Jean baptiste de Gravelin II? He was wrongfully executed in New Orleans LA. I recently found out that he is my 7th great grandfather. Would love to hear the whole story!
Thanks Ron! I watch all your episodes & love have respectful & kind you are.
Ron
I am late with this but l have to tell you that your research and storytelling abilities are some of the best l have experienced in my 70 yrs.
Thank you for being so honest about the wicked people in this story.
When l was younger l researched and photographed shipwrecks for presentations l did around the world but l never had your natural storytelling capabilities.
Keep it up sir!
Thank you, very inspiring note
I soley agree. Wonderful speaker and narrative.
You are a phenomenal historian Ron! I'm a new subscriber & am currently binge watching your videos. I enjoy your knowledge of genealogy the most as I am currently a part time genealogy researcher. I truly appreciate your hard work, research & dedication to preservation of families histories in Memoriam. Thank you for sharing these journey's with us😊
it’s sad how cults lure in the most valuable such a neat graveyard a fascinating story another great video love the spaceship
Fascinating story indeed! All this took place within the Jazz Age of the Roaring 20's. She and her daughter are dressed in the jaunty flapper styles, even her mother looked stylish as an old lady. I'm sure she was a frump, though, when the she died in 1951 and looks even worse today. To be such a featureless place, that aviation monument is gorgeous as are all things built in the 1920's!
That circular Rose Garden is stunning, such a sensory overload with the heady scents and beautiful colours. Such a serene spot to reflect and be still, breathe for a few moments. Beautifully put together video, really, very lovely 🌹
Amazing architecture! Thank you for another great story. What a beautiful place to be laid to rest.
Thank you for remembering the people that are forgotton. God bless.
I just love listening to you tell stories. I hope you are a professional historian because boy..Do you know your history! So calming and super educational every time.
My daughter bought a smart television 3 days ago and she was watching your videos on it.
We film in 4K so it turns out pretty good on the big screen!
Bravo, I'm stumped Ron. She is a woman who reminds me of my mother. I know that's a horrible thing too say but I watched my mom , me being a girl to still going on my mom destroyed many of people's life's for her own benefits. Now the air craft makes since to me. To all the innocent I'm sorry, I know what piece of work she was. It's sad really, and to bad people go on while the innocent DIE. I should know. As always. Pj.💖💖💖💖💖
My favorite! A yellow rose!
I think the domed structure in the cemetery is the building the light twin Dale Black was a passenger in, struck in 1969. He was 19. The two flying pilots died. Dale had an incredible NDE he reviled in his book “Flight to Heaven”. He was interviewed and tells the story of this in TH-cam videos.
Very sad. I can't believe that con artist got away with MURDER. ‼️‼️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Ron, I really love your videos. Thank you for all your hard work! 🇬🇧
You have an absolutely wonderful program! Looking forward to more episodes! Thank you
Thank you for shedding light upon this dark soul.
The shuttle is there for the ones who lost there lives on the explosion, if you go under the fancy alcove there it has the names of the astronauts that passed
Amazing story as always Ron! My daughter and I watched a documentary about cults just days ago and I've never heard of this one! I see there were books published about it in the last 10 years I want to check out!
The portal of folded wings is absolutely beautiful! As an architecture lover myself, I want to visit that cemetery!!❤ The die hard Sooner fan in me could flip USC the bird while I'm there in town!😁
go oakkeey--love it, do it to them!
Willa was only 15 years old going by the dates on the grave - just a teenage girl.
Sad and tragic story indeed...
Such a sweet gesture…… a beautiful yellow rose. Stay safe Ron
Thanks for video I do appreciate it.😊
Thank you FOTF! You are such a great and educating source, so respectful.
Extremely well kept cemetery. That’s nice to see.
All I know about Valhalla is there is that airport nearby and there was a plane crash in the cemetery in 1969. No one survived and they placed that memorial there dedicated to flight and pilots (the domed building you filmed at the beginning)
I've never been in such a wholesome live chat as this one, bless the Carlson Gang ❤️
we work at it, ty for acknowledging. we have great moderators. it is all worth it.
Thank u Ron for all the time and research U do for these videos! ❤️
Thanks Ron. Great video and narration. Right on with cults or whatever the group.
Many scoff, mock or laugh but 2 or 3, here and there, pretty soon there's a dedicated group.
Would have loved to have seen drone footage of that area... :)
The main monument in front of you at 8:06 is the 'Monument of the Folded Wings', which is dedicated to all aviators (including the Astronauts who died aboard the Space Shuttle) who were killed practicing their profession. That's why they have the statue of the space shuttle next to it. BTW, what happened to the daughter Rose? That wasn't clear in your video.
Whirling dervish ceremony is performed in Turkey where people whirl around in circles. The closest way I can describe it is that scene in Disney’s Fantasia where the flowers whirl around. Such a sad story, Willa was sooo young.😢 May she Rest In Peace while that evil woman whirls around below.
I think I’ve seen that in some of the old movies but wasn’t sure if this was the same thing. Thanks
What a story! Surprised they never made a movie about her. Next time you’re in Cali, you should do Aimee Semple MacPherson . That’s another crazy religion story. She’s at Forest Lawn Glendale.
Good call… I agree! I think she was said to disappear but later seen in some island type location….
Thank you, Ron, for what seems to be quite a cult following with this story at the top! Reminds me too much of Jim Jones and the Gyana (sp) suicides along with those that disappear or are eliminated. So many! We have to keep in mind that they'll have to answer to God for what they did & those like them, who deviously did these acts in the "name of the Lord."
The structure at the front of cemetery is also a memorial which should be of interest to you as a former pilot as many early aviators are commemorated there, I think some maybe even interred there.
Yes this is all described in the description box
Okay forgot to add it’s also the original main entrance to the cemetery I think if I remember correctly I learnt that from Hollywood graveyard but you probably knew that already.
Ron, your detail-oriented presentations are really fascinating. Thank You.
Love your work ! I don't know why but your voice is comforting.I'm sick at home so I'm bingewatching your videos today lol
It's an amazing place. Do you ever think that a place is evil? I do. Certain houses, graveyards etc. Scary
That dome is beautiful artwork !! Thank you for this trip !!!!
what maddness.willa was a beautiful soul rest in peace.
She was a evil woman. Thanks Ron 👍
Enjoyed this one Ron thanks
Wow! Great story - ty Ron
Love this very interesting wishing you and yours a Happy Healthy New Year of 2022
As usual another great full of info God Bless
Love your stories and genealogy. I also binge watch your blogs. I also have an interest in old gravesites
Looked this up about this Cemetery... The cemetery has an entrance called the Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation that is the final resting place for aviation pioneers-barnstormers, daredevils and sundry architects of aviation. The shuttle is a model of the famous space shuttle the Challenger. Someone may have already provided this info but thought I would pass it along just in case.
Absolutely nothing new under the sun. You have a amazing channel love it.☺️👍💖
Wow! What a story. That woman was evil. I agree, she should never rest in peace. I'll never understand those with no conscience.
Thank You for the information !!!
Blimey what a story thank you Ron. It's hard to stay awake you got such a relaxing voice
This has to be one of the strangest stories ever told!
Thanks for sharing.
Wow a lot of work went into this one Ron really interesting.
Can't wait to see the gang & the video tonight Ron!!
Wow, evil isn’t new it’s just recycled! Great info!
Excellent Ron x
You travel to SO many great places!!!
Poor animals. So sad. All the places you show look so beautiful. Such amazing history.
Absolutely Stunning ! Wonderful Walk & stroll 🤗
Cool beans brah‼️Can you come to Maui in Hawaii for some scary stories❓
OMG, Ty for this wow how, messed up !
Thanks for the tour. Sadly people will believe what they want to and for that I feel sorry for them. That evil woman will get her punishment at some stage. Keep up the interesting tours.
Just find this channel I love it thank you
Excellent Ron enjoy sunday evening with all of your stories and chats
What an amazing place! Thank you very much for sharing this location and story. ❤
Thanks for this story I'm finding these stories very interesting
Burried by a Runway, which, like you said has planes taking off loudly every few minutes.... yeah.. Karma Knew what it was doing...
RIP Willa
It's sad that people fall for these types of cults. I can't imagine believing in this so much that I would agree to be boiled alive. Seems like these cults always end badly and always promise eternity and riches. You would think people would not follow these crazy crooks. Interesting how the mother, father and the so called Rev died 10 years apart. 31, 41, 51. To the average person walking in the cemetery you would never know she was evil since she does have that Rev listed.
cults have been around, and they seem to repeat the same "sale" mantra. they will be here, as long as there are sheep to follow. so it goes on, more stories to baffle the mind to come, I am sure!
I find your social history very interesting Ron . Have you ever been to to the U.K my favourite cementery has to be Highgate in London it has amazing Tombs and many famous people including poets...
Yes I will include Highgate -everybody suggests that -I’ve seen it online, although I probably won’t spend a lot of time there, it’s a tourist destination, but we will cover it.
I have lots of other interesting places I think to see there. Not that highgate isnt interesting, just stuff off the beaten path is what I like!!
Have a wonderful week my friend!!
I live on the Space Coast, right up next to Cape Canaveral... and we don't even have a baby shuttle in a cemetery. That's so oddly random.
Space shuttle has the names Columbia and Challenger on them. As most will remember, both were destroyed. Wonder if anyone is buried there from either one?
I wonder, too!
According to Find A Grave, there are no disaster victims there, it's only a memorial.
@@iamnyhtshade Thank you for looking into this. Very cool memorial.
Would anyone’s body even survive that destruction?
@@yvellebradley2502 There would be a burned body left. Look up Cosmonaut, Vladimir Komarov. He knew he was probably going to die and requested an open casket. Be warned, photo might be disturbing. Story behind it is sad.
Always great content and respectful of the one's that have passed.
Wow! You really came up with a little known bizarre story this time. Thanks for a great story.
thats what I research for. not the usual celeb videos...
Cults prey on the vulnerable.Pure evil 😈. Enjoy your videos 👌.Great research 👍
Interesting story! 1931 1941 and 1951 death years...
