In this video I visit three of the creepiest and wildest cemeteries in Los Angeles California with some crazy, CRAZY history behind them. - บันเทิง
The cemetery wasn't maintained, so the city basically built a park over it and started maintaining it? I can't be the only one who is having trouble with this logic.
I think it’s because cemeteries are private property vs parks which are public properties.
So TRUE. No logic here they just got what they wanted, As cities can and do all the time while making the people feel they had some kind of input. SAD.
@@iwantthe80sback59 I don't know. I guess it depends on local ordinances, regulations, and such. We've got a local cemetery where I live that's maintained by the city. It's on land that was donated years ago by the local industry for their employees and towns people. The city now owns and maintains it, for the most part. It's always visited, so relatives and local visitors do their part in keeping graves tidy too.
@@DollyTheLlama Where I live, if it’s a private cemetery they pay for upkeep but if it’s a municipal park the government (ie us cause it’s our taxes) pays for upkeep. I’m sure it varies from town to town.
That is Whittier for you.
Making a Cemetery into an Park. Disgrace, and Very Sad. The People who are no longer with us, Should be RESPECTED PERIOD. Thanks Scott for Enlighting us and Staying on your Guard Enjoy your Video 🙂
This should never happen. Ever!!! May these poor souls try to RIP.
This really touched my heart!
A cemetery really shouldn't be disrespected it should be a law
"You moved the cemetery but you left the bodies didn't you? You s.o.b. you left the bodies and only moved the headstones" . Thats some twisted shit! Great video Scott!!!
Scott your lil song about Will Smith made me laugh my ass off!! 😂💜
Right! Omg I like in R.I. yes the smallest state. Anyway I'm from Pawtucket & there used to be a small cemetery in E.Providence which is like 2 miles from me. So all of a sudden the graves which were like honestly probably 200 yrs plus but wth? Where the hell are the ppl They have carnivals there & it's just an empty hard dirt parking lot sometimes ppl will put a couple cars for sale!
Poltergeist! 👻 👻 👻
A case of art imitating real life. Poltergeist was more factually based than most people knew at the time.
Disrespect of cemeteries and old graves is nothing new. Sometimes bodies are buried on top of old graves. Original cemetery owners pass away or sell the property. Not always to people that have any respect for the deceased or their families.
Hi Scott, I can’t believe that they put a park over a Cemetery, how disrespectful to all the families that are affected, what a horrible thing to do, that really upsets me, your not burying me in that place, that is sacred ground. That’s is so wrong 😢😢☹️
I totally agree. It's beyond WRONG and the ULTIMATE in DISRESPECT. Incomprehensible.
Thank you for always remembering the ones who have passed on and so they will not be forgotten. There is such an extreme sadness to think of your loved one's grave disturbed in any way.
Greed is a horrible thing in general, but to involve people buried in your schemes...cannot get any worse than that.
I’m in shock this is so disrespectful to everyone who isBuried there who in Their right mind would allow someone to put a park over a cemetery it’s so disrespectful to their families how would they feel if they were in that situation and got a notice saying that someone was going to build a park over one of their loved ones you do such a good job at finding out so many interesting things shame they couldn’t do something about this what happened to all the headstones why didn’t they just clean it up instead of putting all that money into putting a park over them
This video reminds me of Roosevelt High School here in St. Louis, Missouri. It was built on a "moved" cemetery and the knowledge was kind of lost through history. Until a kid playing football in the field tripped over a femur. It was found out that they only moved the stones and left the bodies under the school. Also, because of this, we learned that a good portion of downtown St. Louis is built on graves left behind and lost to time. Every time there's new construction here, they kick up a body or two and we find a lost cemetery.
Dang
I wonder if they do any testing (if testing can be done), for some reason my mind went to cold cases of missing people. Imagine building a school or shopping mall or something and solving crime, giving family at least closure at the same time
Your right Loki we have alot of interesting things in St.Louis.
Unbelievable. Just terrorize the children who play. This is like poltergeist. So sad and thanks for sharing
This is a more common occurrence than most are aware. In Ontario, Canada there are cemeteries so old, the records of 'whom is buried where' no longer exist. At the beginning of Scott's video he shows headstones/tombstones with grave or plot marker stones piled on top of them. In most municipalities (in this province anyway) once a cemetery becomes full, and then eventually left abandoned of care (generally a minimum of 40 years since the last burial). The locality assumes the maintenance of that cemetery property. There are 'Pioneer' cemeteries all over Ontario with memorial monuments created which include the original headstones deemed salvageable. I do not know of any cemeteries that were repurposed as parkland, residential or commercial space in Ontario. To pile headstones and grave markers behind a chain link fence, without any recognition of whom they belonged to is sacrilegious and disrespectful to say the least. Why did they call it "Founders Memorial Park"? No doubt there are real Pioneers of the American West buried there. I see this more as a reimagining of history and the deletion of true founding peoples' relevance in the 21st century. After all it is the communist state of California.
I'm sure the Trudeau administration will provide a viable solution.
@@paulk9985 He really is useless. His father played a big role with the child indigenous schools and their abuse and burials. The Trudeau’s are all about lies, cover ups and corruption.
Mount Pleasant in Scarborough. They "turned over" my uncle's parents graves without notifying anyone so they could charge another family/families for the plots. Disrespect for the dead doesn't just happen in unused/closed cemeteries.
@@Supesfan88 Under the Cemeteries Act of Ontario what you speak of is also an illegal practice.
@@johnpatterson4272 Im well aware. But they still did it. It's happened to more than one family as well. They've gone in, given their family members name, date of birth, death and supposed plot number - because they've gone to where they were buried and its someone else, and MP says they're nowhere in the system. Death is a business, businesses don't always follow the rules.
Hey Scott, you were in my neck of the woods, as a Whittier resident and native, I've heard many stories of strange happenings at this park such as apparitions, voices and a strange mist, I have personally seen the mist, but I'm sure there is a logical reason for it. My grandfather would have to pass this cemetery on the way to and from high school and told me he would run like hell at any sound he would hear.
PROGRESS IS NOT ALWAYS SMART!
CONVENIENCE IS OFTEN IGNORANT!
That’s some real Poltergeist shit
Right freaky, but there one like that in E.Providence R.I. there was a small cemetery with very old stones like 200/300 yrs old one day they were gone now it's a hard dirk parking lot where they have carnivals & stuff! Crazy!!!
"They're going at it!" Haha! Oh my goodness they are! I thought it was someone napping until I saw the close up!
I would never knowingly or intentionally build or live on a Cemetery but basically the whole world is a Cemetery.
Bodies are everywhere from thousands of years ago, so eventually this kind of thing will happen everywhere.
In the South, mostly everywhere would be haunted from all the tragic events that happened down here.
This is such a sad story. What is wrong with these cemetery workers that would make them do these kinds of things. You live a hard enough life, but then to die and have all of this going on with your corpse, very sad.
I've retired from the death industry & remember Paradise Cemetery very well. They sold the cheapest cemetery plots during the 70's-80's to families preferring burials. Back then, they were offering multiple graves (5-6 bodies of people whom were not related in one grave) for under $200.00. I thought it was odd, but it was popular when the average single grave sold for approx. $1,000.
Thank you for sharing that !
Those cemeteries are definitely steeped in an otherworldly and depleting aura of malevolence, I feel melancholy vibes blasting outta my phone screen. The cemetery in PA. Where Big John Studd is buried is so much more light, serene and peaceful.
Remind anyone of the first Poltergeist movie of how they built the houses on the cemetery and just moved the headstones....I hope the school doesn't get eaten. But that park makes me sad. I think they should of moved the cemeteries; headstones AND people to a new location. California/Nevada has alot of land that's not ideal for farming or homes due to it being a hot desert climate. They should of moved it there. It feels so disrespectful and sad....but Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 💗🍗🍁🇨🇦
Sure did, it reminded me of poltergeist, how scary is that 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Sure did, don't understand it the whole concept 😮😮😮😮😮😮
The first one still has that grave yard feel, and I know this sounds crazy, but the sound also... there is a sound.
Ya man I agree. No pun but it was dead silent and that’s a busy little area
That’s an old mower.
Truly truly sad. I can’t even find words.
Oh btw, check out history of Colma cemetery near San Francisco. They only relocated some from the original SF cemeteries! The headstones were broken up and used near the wharf, some are still visible!
😲 OMG.. Headstones broken up and used at the wharf? That is beyond disrespectful. Those persons involved will surely get THEIRS. KARMA people...it is real
We have a park kinda like that where I live called mcbourny park. Youlll never guess what the locals call it……. Skeleton park. Yes I’m not joking people call it skeleton park. People have found human skulls. Fantastic video again scott
Weird 😆
Great video, as usual!! Definitely a shocker of a video!! Who the heck puts a park on top of a cemetery? Chilling!!!
It's like that in Lincoln Park, the zoo and park was built over graves. Only the headstones were moved not the bodies and they still have a mausoleum standing in the park
Ya Took the headstones but you left the bodies..WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!! thanks so much man, so spooky and interesting
Wow I had no idea. Interesting, great video Scott
😂😂😂😂That face when you say "the bodies....are still here."
I prefer cemeteries over parks as well. I love taking walks in them and checking out random headstones and even cleaning up anything if I can.
I found an old run down one a week ago. I was shocked to work out most of the people were between 17 - 35.
I found out from my GMA that it would have been the time of the Spanish flu.
I picked up decorations and placed them back to where I thought they had been, while i quietly walked through in the rain.
It had an nice quiet settled feeling to it, even being near a hwy.
Me too.
You wouldn't want to do that at night
Recently discovered you,and I am so glad I did. I love your videos! ❤️
Thank you so much Sara!
Hi scott!!!!!!" 👋 another great segment 👏👍👌🙌😀😄👏👍👌🙌 love you!!!!! so much!!!!!!! yay!!! scott!!!!!
I have an ancestor buried in that park. A baby, but an ancestor. He died from bee stings. My great grandfather was a Whittier Founder. He worked engineering a way to bring water to Whittier from the mountains via wooden flumes. I had an apartment on Dorland Street, which is on the north side of the park. I have the deed for the plot, signed by Willet Dorland, director of cemeteries. It was changed into a park when I was a kid, but I remember seeing it as a tangled mess. The headstones were taken by some of the fine citizens of the hills, they use them as stairs on the hill sides. The rest of them were tossed at Pio Pico mansion, then moved to the Whittier museum. You should see the museum. It is sad but there is nothing else to do. I looked for my headstones but never found it. I still live in Whittier. Thanks for putting this on you tube
I really wanted to visit that museum but sadly didn’t have time. I truly hope your ancestor is resting peacefully ❤️
That's a mower deck @ 13:55. This one was strange and creepy. Great work Scott, keep them coming.
Awesome video Scott! Keep up the great work 💪
That sure is F'd up what they did to those cemeteries. Sure is disrespectful
Amazing video Scott! You learn something new everyday
Thanks for showing this Scott
There were a lot of Cemeteries that towns were built on top of in the 1900s because they needed the space. Nice video Scott.
This was fun! What a great idea for a video Scott.
Hey Scott great video! I have some more info for Founders Memorial Park in Whittier. The concrete pathway in the park is the original pathway layout for the cemetery. Also the original home of the family that started the Whittier cemetery association is next door to park. It wasn’t originally built there but was moved to its present location and a family does live in it. Also some of the headstones I believe are on display and located at the Whittier museum. This sort of thing happened quite often. Some examples are Pioneer Park in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego some headstones are actually set up there but most were dumped and buried by the metro by Mount Hope cemetery. Also in Long Beach there was Palm Cemetery. Ranch workers from Rancho Los Cerritos and people who couldn’t afford a normal burial would be buried there by their families. That actual cemetery was covered up by another cemetery which is Forest Lawn Long Beach. It’s actually the court yard of the Sunnyside Mausoleum which I highly recommend to visit. Again great video Scott!
I had no idea that building over cemeteries was even a thing. Thank you Scott for this informative, creepy and random video love it!
It's been happening since this country was founded. Native American burial sites have been developed for houses and farms.
Trippy! Getting it on in a cemetery/park. Pretty morbid 😱😱😂🤣
Great video Scott. I had no idea about these. So cool.
Always love watching your vids, Scott. In my hometown in Australia there’s a football stadium that was once a cemetery back in the mid 1800s. In 1915 it was built over and a highway cut through there. They moved some of the bodies to another cemetery but some bones were crushed up to make the roads. Not only is it a sports stadium now but live rock concerts are held there too. I saw Taylor Swift there a couple of years ago with ground/floor seating tickets lol.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!
I love watching your videos at night , its the perfect way to relax until i fall asleep! This is eerie but the parks are hauntingly beautiful, thank you for a great video, Scott!🤗
I love your videos Scott ! You’re awesome 🖤
I think that's such a terrible disgrace to remove the headstones and leave the bodies and just build a park right over it all.
can't wait to see your Halloween segments!!!!! I'm getting the shivers!!! already!!!!! 😆!!!!!!! lol!!! love the creepy laugh!!!! lol!!!!
The elementary school that's across from where I live, was built over a cemetery. They built over half of it and in the back of the school is where the other half located. The school is usually known to hold big Halloween festivities because of it's history.
Wow I need to check out that first cemetery / park it was soooo creepily cool. Thank for this video Scott this is the kind of stuff we love.
I allways learn so much from you stay safe out there on those crazy roads....
This whole thing is just crazy and sad! Thank you for always being so respectful Scott! Always a joy to watch
This is such an awesome video. I appreciate you showing us these locations. Unbelievable. Thanks, Scott.
Great video! I had read about the tombstones at Cathedral HS, and have wanted to see them. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video. Thank you so much for producing and posting it!
Hey Scott, love the music and how sad😭 I could never imagine being buried there and forgotten under a park😢 I swear being cremated is sounding like the best option when I pass! Love ya Scott, appreciate all you do💖💖💖💖
Definitely my choice and it's eco friendly
Thanks Scott. I love your narrative
This will become the norm in time. Sad but true- it only makes sense because cemeteries become run down due to neglect and money issues. Not to mention- space. It’s sad
Sad indeed. There's a few creepy cemeteries I know of. Great coverage.
That was so interesting. Thank you Scott
Great video!!!
Great video Scott!
We have three in my city of Liverpool UK, all parks now with over 300 thousand bodies still there between them, people don't find thin creepy at all, a lot of people and families picnic in them, play, games and even out on shows in them.
St james cemetery, 1700 closed around, 1966, Everton cemetery and Liverpool Necropolis both from around 1800,closed 1940s
your posts are awesome
Good idea for a vlog, interesting and timely with Halloween coming up. When I first saw the title, I thought it was going to be about Cheesman Park in Colorado. Thanks man 👍🙏❤️✌️
Reminds me of poltergeist movie.....
(You moved the head stones but left the bodies)
Wow , so interesting.. pretty cool the hs still has alot of the tombstones.. thanks for sharing! ❤
Creepy!!!! Creepy!!!!
Cool video Scott
this is awful! thankyou for bringing this to light. why could the city not maintain the graveyard, since they are clearly maintaining the park??? this makes me very sad! thankyou scott!
Thank you for the great video, shocking what they did... but people like you will keep the memory of what was done alive.
You are funny!!!!!! 👍 loved that!!! Scott!!!!!!
I was a cemetery junkie when I was a teen. But have never seen anything like this. I love your content Scott😎🙏
Tyvm job well done......
When you lay a loved one to rest, you expect them to to leave everything as it is! Imagine just building a park on top of a cemetery!
The same Thing happens where I live. I live in Frankfurt/Germany and near by is Wiesbaden. There is a Park who once was a Cemetary. They removed just the Stones and left the Bodies. The most crazy Thing is that some Graves are still there with the Stones. So you can make Barbecue or your Kids can play on and right next to Graves. 🤷♀️
OMG you we’re in my neighborhood!!! That is so cool, thanks for visiting and giving a shout-out to my home town Whittier! I’ve been watching your October videos and love that you are in CA. Thank you for taking us along… don’t forget to visit Rose Hills Cemetery there are a few well know people buried there including Eazy- E. Safe travel!
Scott, I live one block from the Florence Ave cemetery, it would've been awesome for ME if I would've ran into you. You're a cool dude I love watching all your videos and I just subscribed dude. I would love to buy you some lunch bro. Stay safe and keep producing your cool video's.
Oh wow you’re so close to where I was. When I’m back in LA lunch sounds great
My home town!
Such a cool video
I would have no problem living in place like this and be very happy to take care of the all the people who may never get a visit from their own love one.
That’s very creepy.
This is so Wild Scott that is so Crazy for people to do this to people still Buried there.
hey scott.. i saw you on a video with adam the woo. found your chanel good stuff... i have been to this park . very creepy place.. keep up the great work...
Wow that's sad now people can't even find their love one's graves
So eerie and very odd.Never seen something like this before.I just ordered something online and it is coming from Whittier California.And the second cemetery you went to,what they did was so disrespectful.Great video,love your videos.Stay safe Scott,and Blessed Be :)
Wow. I’m glad the school did that. Love the videos.
Sweet Video Scott!! I really enjoyed this one. Although extremely sad too. There's a huge parking lot near my house. With a few businesses stores ect. That I looked up and was or is a cemetery too. They only took 30% of the bodies to other locations. So in otherwords ALOT of people's loved one remain I also have a channel where I do ghost hunting and that happens to be one of the locations and surprisingly got a lot of voices in the parking lot in the middle of the night pretty creepy and very sad. 😢👻
I’ll definitely check your channel out Amber!
@@SCOTTONTAPE That would mean alot. Need advice from a pro like yourself 👍😉 totally appreciate that. My computer just crashed as soon as I did a video where I caught the MOST unreal evidence I have ever experienced in the two years that I've been a TH-camr. So now I am holding on to something super Rare content. Im unable to share this with everyone! Just the luck brotha 😐 lol
I love how the gym equipment compliments the headstones so well....
Made it brother 👍
The big blue thing against the tree is a brush hog or brush cutter. They attach to a tractor or bobcat skip steer for mowing down heavy and thick wilderness /brush
Scott you honestly find the strangest places😆👌🤣🌹interesting. The music!🤣🤣🤣
Wow you did an amazing Job scott, as i said before, i love these kind of stories, hope you can do more of these, was nice seeing you on Live last night by the way, sorry i was nodding of, not because you was boaring lol, its because the UK time hours are late, hope you understand, im so surprised you know the words to old songs like "Ski-lo" i remember that song very well, when you sang it, i was impressed because you knew all the songs of my time, im in my 40s so im assuming you was in the same age group as me, long gone are the days of amazing classic hip hop tunes.
We live in a degenerate age. Remember that.
This is so sad and disrespectful to the souls there. So disgusting, and creepy. Thank u for sharing, and making people aware of this, i bet no one apart from the families are aware that there are people underground. The two people going at it in the first cemetary are a prime example of the lack of knowledge.
Not to make lite of the topic but "Mount" Olive seems to be a fitting name considering what's going on in the grass....
Couldn’t agree more lol
Love the video,. You should look at doing one in Kingston, On. Skeleton Park. It was a forgotten cemetery from colonial times. They tried to develop the land, but when they broke ground the smell of decomp was out of this world. Turns out the rate of decomposition was slowed down because of the boggy soil.
Actually back in the later 1800s, people went on picnics in cemeteries. They didn't seem to have public parks as much as we do now.
In some ways it does and doesn't make much sense to turn this cemetary into a park. Nobody took care of it, so they did the next best thing and the city took care of it. Shame that they didn't take the time to move the bodies.
This is a must watch it's a great video for this time of year 🎃🎃☠️☠️
Thank you Steven! Plenty more coming
Thank you Scott. I find graveyards over whelming and can’t cope. Maybe because I’m from one of the most haunted cities in the world, York. You should go there one day if you visit the UK. Thank you! 🌹
13:47 looks to be a riding mower deck 😉
