Exploring The Terrifying Hanging Coffins | The Death Ritual (Cemetery In The Sky)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- inside Sagada, Philippines Instead of being placed into the ground, the coffins are hung either inside the caves or on the face of the cliffs, near the hanging coffins of their ancestors. The Sagada people have been practicing such burials for over 2,000 years, and some of the coffins are well over a century old. Eventually the coffins deteriorate and fall from their precarious positions.
The reason the coffins were hung was due to the belief that the higher the dead were placed, the greater chance of their spirits reaching a higher nature in the afterlife. Many of the locations of the coffins are difficult to reach (and obviously should be left alone out of respect)

Josh! When are you coming to India?
This video is intense.
When did you gooo? I wish i saw you guys there when we went home recently.. i watch you, steve, rich and zark!!!! ❤❤❤
Done buddy, and one day when I'm able I'll throw a few bucks into that donation for gas etc.❤
Stay safe always guys❤watching from Philippines❤
Seeing four grown up dudes scream over a moth is so funny and real hahaha. The way he ran out the door and left the moth there like "Bro how do I get out of here?" lmao. That was a very pretty moth though!
Hilarious 😂😂 and huge 😮
It was seriously so scary! Never seen a moth that big in my life!
@@Broke-But-Rich that's we called Mariposa in the Philippines
theyre so cute when they scream lol
At least it's not annoying flying cockroach
I love the fact that you presented this tradition respectfully. Thank you. You should try to go to other islands in the PHILIPPINES.A lot more places to discover
The body inside the coffins are in a fetal position. This is due to the belief that people should leave the world in the same position as they entered it, also their beliefs in reincarnation.
Whos been watching Josh sense 2017 drop a like I know im not the only one🙂↕️
This is the year i discover josh channel and still getting stronger 💪🦾 subscriber till Now
me, found him while i was in between jobs in 2017 and had free time, then rediscovered him during lockdown 🙂
I've been watching him since 2016 or 2015 I'm not sure exactly, but now his videos look like Hollywood produced movies!
meeee been watching him for so long
Yess
Waited a long week for this thank you for spotlighting my father's side of the family ethnic country culture proud Filipino American here much appreciated Josh
Josh literally puts on 100% efforts on making his videos & that's what makes me a fan of him. It's good to see that you'd collab with our content creator in the Phils, boss Zarckaroo. Keep 'em coming for more Josh!! Huge respect to you man!
Yes he does up 100% that's why I love his videos❤
Thank you Josh for another incredible video very interesting, to learn and hear about everything in the video, you are amazing Josh Sundays are always the best when you post new videos to you’re channel I get so excited keep up amazing work you do Josh❤🙂
🦋 This is so beautiful 🦋 I love their reasoning behind putting these coffins above ground instead of under ground ♥️ The part about not being in darkness is amazing 💜 I love learning about different religions and beliefs. Thank you for sharing this journey with us 🦋🦋
6 or 7 yrs ago josh would be to scared to do this , wow how you have grown
7 years ago he didn't have the money to go here😅
@@SandyWolf-Come on, The Philippines is not that expensive for Americans.
You continue to give us top tier content. Not only do you share these amazing experiences with us, you share part of you too. Keep being authentic, it shows in every video ❤
I appreciate that!
This has to be my most favorite video you've done so far! I love your love and curiosity for other cultures and landscapes. Your interest in exploring and history really renews my faith and hope in younger generations still being interested in other cultures history and current practices. Keep up the good work and use your platform to influence others to explore and learn! Thanks Josh!
I did a jungle trip before after a very rainy night to the sea on Mindanao.....it was slippery as hell!
I still don't understand how people can do those trips on slippers without falling down!
You should visit Mindanao, nature is very beautiful over there!
best exploring/ghost investigation channel out! been watching since the beginning
Would of been an awesome place to do a quicky EVP session! :) Planning to visit the Pines next year! :)
tbh i appreciate your kindness with your tour guide despite the fact that he is not fluent in english. as a Filipino i have witness a lot of racist foreign people who would call us dumb just bc most pinoys could not speak fluent english
I'm so sorry you had to witness such idiots. You guys deserve to be respected
Btw, the humongous butterfly that you just saw inside your room is called " MARIPOSA" by some of us Filipinos.
Edit:
And btw, if you ask some Filipinos if what seeing or being visited by a MARIPOSA symbolizes is that it symbolizes, rebirth or resurrection; transformation and hope or sometimes it's just a good omen or good luck 🍀
And by hearing that you just came back to your old roots which is exploring, maybe just maybe , that butterfly is welcoming you and maybe it's a sign that you chose the right path by coming back and exploring the world again.
It’s an Atlas moth 😊
None of that is true
Mariposa is just Spanish for butterfly but yes in many cultures butterflies represent rebirth (because they start as caterpillars and go through a metamorphosis) It's also a common belief in Filipino culture that butterflies and moths are the souls of the recently departed 🦋
@@alsmith5526all seems pretty accurate to me mariposa means butterfly so that checks out and all the symbolic meanings are pretty common among many cultures the butterfly is the defacto symbol for change/transformation
This is one of my fav episodes on your channel. Really love the content
Maybe nxt time purchase a head mount for ur camera? Also this is y we have 3 kinds of chinelas 😂😂😂
When you asked for a new location a few months ago, the hanging coffins was my first thought. I'm so glad you took my suggestion. I have seen a few pictures of them, but was hoping to get a closer view with your unique style of exploration. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece of culture, moths and all. 😅❤
Can we all take this time to thank our boy Josh for taking all of us on these beautiful adventures.from the bottom of my heart I say thank you and be safe
Thank you so much
Guys go to the *Teacher’s camp* in Baguio where a lot of ghost stories are famous, Zackaroo and the others went there too last time, they had A LOT of paranormal activities going on, and VERY ACTIVE.
Also please go to the *Corregidor Island* do an over night, ALOT has happened there especially in WWI and II, pretty haunted too.
Oh wow, Atlas moths are very uncommon in the states, but, some do grow to be much bigger than that one, actually.. They’re actually considered to be signs of Strength & Perseverance. Which.. I’d say you absolutely did for this video. He was there to greet you, let you know you are safe there.
Though they’re good omens, they’re HUGE and understandably TERRIFYING.
Hanging coffins also exist in China. I love this vid cos is so much joy seeing you guys having fun. George is something else, he wears flip flops while you guys trip and falls all over the place… 😂😂😂
Happy to see you having good time here at Philippines. I saw your INSTAGRAM story before you're here filming this video. I was hoping to see you but unfortunately you already have a flight to China. Hope if you come back here at Philippines i can meet you in personal. I've been waiting for this blog to be post! Thank you so much for appreciating everything here at Philippines! God bless more! And explore more!
Be carful and safe Josh! Cannot wait to see this video today. Love your videos and content Josh. ❤❤❤❤
As an filipina igorot, mad respect to you for doing this!
There is a belief, in Filipino culture, that the recently deceased may return in the form of a moth. Though their bodies disintegrate, their spirits linger on. I hope you didn't harm the moth
Welcome to the Philippines Josh! You deserve more subscribers than what you have.. Just because of how much you go beyond. Beyond borders and having an open-mind to other cultures. Also for your sincerity and staying real. Hope you don't change. Stay golden!
Amazing Atlas moth!! One of my favourite moths. The top of their wings are meant to look like snake heads
Come to belize, you will love it do your research on belize 🇧🇿 ❤
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS JOSH
Hi Josh, I'm a big fan of yours since 2018. This is the BEST video you've made, don't get me wrong. All of your videos are awesome. Call me bias, but my Grandpa was born in sagada. This is our culture. Thank you for visiting Sagada, and sharing our culture.❤love you. Btw, just a piece of advice 😅. If you see MOTHS THAT BIG. Let it be. In our Igorot culture, MOTHS are reincarnation of our ancestors. 😅😅😅 Or one of our relative's spirit is visiting us.🥰 You take care, always.
I am so happy that you made it back to your place in one piece to upload this video from that adventure on the side of the cliff where the coffins are hung.
I got goosebumps fr! The thumbnail made me scream. I hope you had a great time visiting sagada and the coffins
Josh thank you for going here in the Philippines and you should go to corregidor there is more ghost hunting place there or in the camp john hay in Baguio.
WWWOAH I'm so glad you're still exploring Philippines, I thought you already left
It was a beautiful place in the Philippines It was an amazing place I found it different but interesting how the coffins are so high rest in peace to all the families it looks so peaceful in a tropical forest but so steep it needs good footwear great work Josh and team ❤
This is my favorite episode Josh...keep it up..
Looked like one of yall was bout be buried up there lol
You are very lucky to have him as your tour guide! Proud Cordillerian here!
So awesome to see you exploring such cool places I have never heard of before! I hope you explore more in Philippines. I know you have a flight to the UK next month cannot wait to see what is to come❤Loving this video and glad you were not injured badly!
What an awesome video Josh, never heard of that type of burial tradition in Philippines, it sounds beautiful! love the way George explained it. Love to learn about different cultures, it was nice of George to take you there and share history about it all, thank you for sharing with us! Can't wait for the next video! Your explore videos are pretty awesome! Keep safe!
One filipino believe that if that big butterflies reside on the inside of the house at evening. Its a visit from the otherside, a ancestor or someone who pass away with strong presence wants to observe. It looks like a Mariposa variant butterfly. Theres even way more bigger that that like human head big. But story sees the bigger the more old and powerful it is as ancestor. Some can come back. You guys are respectful and cool so probably curious and wants to join in. Banana for muscle control and endurance. Potassium. Guide knows what he was doing. Welldone
Im glad josh,you are here in my country Philippines,thank you so much..❤❤❤😮😮😮
Yay❤ another fun adventure and exploration . Keep Safe everyone. I am from Philippines but haven’t been there. The road will trigger my motion sickness and anxiety. In The Philippines, seeing moths/butterflies are believed to be the soul of a dead loved one/relative believe they bring messages from the afterlife.
You are the resson i am alive thank you .
Absolutely loved this video! As someone who hasn’t had the opportunity to travel (yet), being able to essentially explore these places with you is an amazing experience. It’s always so nice to learn about other cultures and customs… keep up the great work! ❤️
So amazingly Beautiful. Thanks you guys bringing it to all of us🤟💋🙏❤️🫶🤗
*Jungle everywhere*
*Powertool noises still coming from somewhere*
Super video my dear brother. Iam waiting for the next video 📸
How TF am I subscribed and I don’t remember watching you guys? lol 😂 guess TH-cam wants me to fallow 😅 jk ! I probably watched you guys I just honestly don’t remember. But I’m here for it! Let’s Get spooky !
Hahaha well come through and watch the stuff :]
Thank you for sharing this location with us. I find it very interesting. I love their belief in why they did this! I doubt I'll ever visit this place so thank you for sharing it with us!
People dying to get there😂
I always watch your video since 2019 and thanks for exploring here in Philippines
Josh makes enough money as a You Tuber. I am wondering why he does not buy one of the many over the head or body mount camera systems that are available.That young man is going to get his arse injured or worse if he doesn't make that investment or insurance maneuver to help safeguard himself and possibly others. Josh, just do it.
As someone from the Mt. Province, we actually believe that moths are your relatives that passed away and when they go inside your house or follow you, you just let them be since they're probably visiting or just watching over you.
I didn't think this was such a good idea at first.....but definitely an awesome experience! You're the 🐐!
Wow.. never know this stories I'm Filipino.. it's so overwhelming to know that this is exist..
It was a tough walk out there how on earth do they carry the coffins out to the cliffs.
The moth coming after you guys had me laughing...love this...thank you for the awesome episode...😃❤
Oh wow! Amazing video, always love your videos and find different beliefs fascinating! ( We had a doctor "druid" here that burnt his son after he paseed away and cremation exists!) Love your explores, you need to come to wales more!
WOW!!!
Amazing hike, dangerous,but 👍🏼
Awesome video Josh. I'm really liking your videos more and more.
Absolutely amazing explore Josh I really enjoyed this video 👊 massive respect to you
So glad you’re back to exploration Josh.
Thankyou so much for showing this amazing cool place. Awesone.
Hahaha they are legit friends concerned yet laugh at you. Thanks for the effort and take care Josh. Always here enjoying your videos
Hi Josh, wow what an awesome adventure, I don't know what to say except that was one of the most intellectual video's I have seen for, not just for the adventure but mostly because of the history and religion and beliefs of the area. What a fantastic video, it's great to see some of the og Josh returning in you. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰❤
Hi josh! Thank you for exploring the hanging coffin .. I hope someday im gonna meet you here in baguio. Keep safe! 😊
I absolutely adore you!! You never fail to entertain me and keep me engaged! The videography, editing, storytelling is just beyond others. Thank you, Josh! Much respect 🫡
Thank you so much!!
dude your upping the game these vids are getting wild!
This was a awesome video! What an adventure for you and happy you all survived the hike. Thank you for sharing from Minnesota.
I feel like you did something similar but only accessable by boat. Was it Mx? Maybe island of dolls???
This was awesome btw.
Very interesting, cool people.
Its videos like this that make better understandings of different cultures.
Good content 📹👀
Thank you for visiting Philippines!!
Best explorer on TH-cam is Josh, by far! Much love 🫶🏼
He is! I started watching him when he started in Massachusetts! He's a mass boy aka man.
Seeing these moths mean presence of the departed family's soul/spirit.
You guys are so brave for this one like I would be screaming the whole way down cause of my poor balance.
What a treat Josh thank you!! This is really cool and amazing. Have a great week man. 🤍
Went to Sagada a couple of years ago. Definitely a heck of a journey getting there but it was 100% worth it.
Kudos to the driver getting you there and back in one piece❤
Thank you for visiting my hometown. I'm getting home sick just seeing this 🤧
I don't understand, you say check my merch out but every time I do its all sold out ? Could buy some cards but wanting the clothing. Is it because I'm in the UK ?
Incredible, amazing, beautiful, and so respectfully done. It's so great to see and hear what other cultures do and believe in. This was a real eyeopener. Loved every minute. And the scenery was just beautiful too. Well done Josh. Brilliantly done.
Was manong George Zarck's old tour guide when he first came to this hanging coffins burial ground? His face is familiar but I'm not really sure.
Added:
Manong George is so wise. Kudos!
Omg this is the best ever!!! Proud of you! Thank you for showing us this wonderful adventure!!!!
Please be safe your travel 😊❤
Proud Igorot here💛
Yeah this is the exploring with josh stuff I Love!!!!
I'm from Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and we have similar burial site... I wonder if we shared common ancestor hahaha
Indones once lived here in the Philippines before the Spaniards came.
29:44 Caskets are placed within a heart shaped grotto 💙
Thought Gorge was kind of grumpy at 1st. But he's the dude 😎. Glad you didn't get hurt, Josh when you fell!
In the ph you’re not supposed to talk/laugh and curse loudly when you’re in the forest and caves. You “might disturb” the spirits.
Unbelievable. True josh, I don't want to be in ground. That awesome!
Omg Josh, THANK YOU for taking us along, VERY INTERESTING & MUCH RESPECT ON THERE TRADITIONS !!!
LOVE UR VIDEOS ❤
Filipinos laughing at every dangerous situations are hilarious hahaha
I unsubscribed for a while but coming back and seeing the Japan series and this video, wow I'm back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Your urbex videos are incredible!!
Sorry, awesome video, but I have to add: the Atlas is an actual butterfly, lives for a very short time and is usually the jewel of any good butterfly-garden at zoo's (in the Netherlands anyway). Kids have this beauty on their hand or shoulder there all the time, totally harmless; they can't even eat. 😅
George should have his own channel. I love his humor. 😁
Josh this was absolutely amazing, I loved it!! Your channel is brilliant! Stay safe
Hi Josh I'm a big fan of yours .. this is the best exploring you did in the Philippines Sagada is a real treasure.. Thank you for featuring hanging coffins I never saw this before when I went there long time ago...You got the best guy for exploring with and that's Zach 😂..keep it up you're AMAZING! This really amazed me ☺️
I'm like speechless! That was absolutely AMAZING!!! ❤❤❤
