My grandparents are buried in a cemetery in WV and there is a stone that states a 20 year old man buried there was robbed and murdered. The stone was covered with growth. It was so bad, Find a grave had his name misspelled. I did some digging (for years actually) and found out his story. The bottom read, “Gone But Not Forgotten”. I cleaned his stone two years ago and it’s beautiful. It was a mystery I had to solve.
I definitely saw several large stones or pieces of masonry fall with force from above as if thrown. Maybe the tiny increase in temperature from the heat from your bodies caused the loose masonry which was on the point of falling to finally fall --- or maybe it was the activity of a restless spirit -- Who knows?! -- Very scary! An excellent video for Halloween!
Hauntingly beautiful place. I know a lot of people would like to see it restored but on the other hand it is eerily charming the way it is and maybe it should not be disturbed. We all turn to dust in the end... Thanks for taking us there.
I was thinking that this was such a beautiful restful place to spend eternity……..then the stones started falling! That was wild!!!!! As usual thank you so much for the video, Sue.
Those were big white rocks thrown! You videoed the ceiling and it was in great condition. That whole place was spooky looking. Sue you never get frightened. Wow, just wow!
A few years back I stopped off at a yard sale. (in the deep south). As I looked at items my eyes locked on several very old iron crosses. I asked the woman..."Those are interesting, where did those come from ?" She looked at me oddly and asked "Why does it matter ?" I told her..."It matters because those are from very old cemeteries right ?" She walked away but I followed her. "Well aren't they ?" I asked. What she said really ruffled my feathers. "They won't miss them...they're dead. What's it to you ?" I gave her my 2 cents worth of thought and left. (along the road...I also took down her yard sale signs, later threw them in a trash dumpster I found.) Now I am not in the habit of doing such things to others...but taking and then trying to sell those cemetery crosses for $$$ just angered me. Those iron crosses were someones last respect...family maybe not able to afford a headstone..but could weld the iron together and give them a nice lasting cross. Usually if and when someone breaks into a lead coffin it is for 2 reasons.....they think they were buried with things of value like jewelry etc....the other to see if being buried in a sealed lead coffin...did the body stay in good shape (no air at all), or did it go ahead and decay and, well you know.
Wow!!! Thank you for doing that, absolutely agree, she had no right trying to sell anything from a grave, never mind touching anything..just terrible, thankfully there are still people like you who will stand up for respect of those who have passed.
Sue, if you notice where the sunken spot in the floor is, theres a brick pier that has a huge seperation in it! The pier is support and is sinking, the mausoleum is becoming unstable by the day! What fell were stones or morter from cieling i would guess! It just goes to show you these buildings no matter how well built, always give in to the ravages of time!
What a beautiful place. I thought I would like to clean it up, but the noises, the horse! and where did those stones come from?! Thanks for the great (and dangerous) tour.😊
Absolutely . Our ancestors would not have placed such beutiful markers to be forgotten by humanity The Tidy Towns Judges encourage this wild approach in my localities.
It’s like the trees are trying to consume the cemetery. I’m speechless about the stone dropping. I swear at one point when you said something about the birds it sounded like one said “why”
I couldn't hear the knocking but here in Kentucky in the US if you hear something knocking on wood in the forest then its most likely a woodpecker. Not sure if you have them in Ireland but if so it could be alerting other birds to your presence. Just offering an idea. Lovely video. I see why green is associated with Ireland. Heck even your trees look green!
That was absolutely mind-blowing when that stone fell when you were looking in the mausoleum. I noticed when you panned up the roof of that mausoleum is brick that wasn't the same type of stone that fell, makes you wonder where it came from. Be safe in your travels sweet Sue.❤❤❤
Thanks for another tour and sorry trees have fallen overgrown grass and damaged headstones. You can just hope that your video will get people to clean the cemetary. I know it takes money so we will see.
I always give a thumbs up. Thank you for what you do. Most people should be interested in this kind of stuff. I'm sure that the folks who have long passed away would of done the same thing if they were still around.
Wow ! Great video Sue ! It's ashame no one takes care of this cemetery. Seems creepy with everything over grown and damaged. Just the right scene for Halloween ! Thank you for sharing this ! Be careful ! Happy Halloween !
Great video Sue, colors are so Sharp and Clear, unable to write my own review seems to happen more and more. Glad you made it out of there in one piece. Thanks for sharing your adventure, loralee ❤
So sad that this old cemetery is not being maintained. This is one reason why I do not want to be buried. When there is no one left to take of the place, this is what happens. That was so weird, it looked like a white rock was thrown. Very creepy.
Sue - what will haunt me forever is a current Irish Eyes video. A little girl is home when a beggar comes to the door needing shelter. Her father lets him in and eventually the stranger joins the little girl in her game room where they happily play cards. She drops one of her cards on the floor and she stoops down to look under the table for her card. She was just expecting to see the beggar’s shoes - she doesn’t see shoes but hooves. OMG! I don’t know if it was Irish Eyes voice, or his delivery or what, but I literally almost fainted. She was playing cards with Satan!!!
Hi Sue - Yes I know you’re his partner. I prefer the name Irish Eyes. I don’t miss videos from either of you. Thank you for all you do. ❤️❤️❤️ Beverly Collins (Airfona was the name of my imaginary friend when I was little)! Lol
@@SerenitySueGraveyards keep up the good work very interesting the history of who once was. that now rest in those graveyards now abandoned. the local folk must all be long gone.. Then serenity sue comes along and shows them all to the big wide world 👍
What a great cemetery. I always worry you may fall in a hole!! Please be careful sweetie!!! Happy you are not alone. I was struck by the stone that looked new, (or cleaned) ❤❤❤. Love from Florida!
At Cappoquin the story was somewhat different. Brenan had travelled to the town that morning making contact with the Young Irelander and native of Cappoquin, Michael Cavanagh. In the company of Cavanagh they succeeded in alerting groups of supporters both within the town and surrounding country who gathered on that evening to attempt to surprise the police barracks. They succeeded in maintaining an element of secrecy up to a half-hour before the attack, when an old woman of the town warned the police constable on patrol to be careful. This ‘secret information’ was enough to warn other officers and place the barracks in readiness. He had left to inform his officer when the attack occurred. There followed a brief exchange of fire which left one attacker dead and caused the others to disperse. In their retreat they encountered a foot patrol of two other officers who had not been warned. One escaped, but sub-constable James Owens was severely wounded and left for dead in the street. He was to die of his wounds the following day. A potential serious attempt took place at Dungarvan. Here the conspirators had the support of a corporal and two privates of the garrison who were to be on guard duty that night. Fortunately for the garrison, the conspirators in the town were not joined by those expected from the country areas. The government soon hurried reinforcements to the area. Two companies of the 7th Fusiliers were sent to Cappoquin, whilst the 39th Regiment was put in readiness in England should it be required. The conspirators themselves remained active until at least two weeks after the failed rising before abandoning all further attempts. In Cappoquin and the Dungarvan area there were a series of arrests during this period mainly on the evidence of an approver, but all the major conspirators escaped. This left the authorities uncertain as to whether or not the attack at Cappoquin had had a political motive at all and they also lacked sufficient evidence to prove a wider conspiracy. At two assizes in Waterford the following year the attackers were tried under the Whiteboys Act and eleven were sentenced to transportation, some to Australia, others to Bermuda.
It's sad to see old cemeteries like this in such disrepair and neglect. Eventually, all these people in their final resting place will be forgotten, their tombstones eroded by rain, moss, trees, brambles and fallen branches and leaves.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards And that's very commendable. Unfortunately, it would take a small army of people to restore such cemeteries. It seems that family of the deceased rarely visit the resting place of their ancestors. Although I've never been to Ireland, my ancestors were Scotch-Irish, and I'm sure some of them are buried in forgotten cemeteries in Ireland. The neglect of cemeteries also occurs in the US, and few people know anything about their ancestors. I know of many of my own ancestors, and I often think about them, but some of them, but I have no idea where some of them were laid to rest. It could be in a forgotten cemetery, or out in the the back of a primitive farm yard (so to speak) that's now covered over by buildings and streets. It makes me wonder, will our own resting place be forgotten and reclaimed and erased by nature in the future? Will any of us be remembered?
@@SerenitySueGraveyards My grandmother was buried in a 200 year old cemetery located on top of a hill near where I used to live as a child and a teenager. I didn't know her because she died when my mother was just a child. I knew she was buried there somewhere. Her grave, and many others, were completely covered over by thorny briars, brush and tree saplings from decades of neglect, although some parts of the cemetery were somewhat clear. Friends and I would sometimes go there at night just to hang out, but in a respectful manner. My entire family would go there during the day to pay our respects. Aunts, uncles, cousins. It was always a very peaceful and quiet place. They'd try to get through to the grave, but the thorny brush everywhere had become too dense to get through. I remember my mother and aunts would shout at the brush saying, "We're here Mama!" In more recent times, I've learned the entire cemetery has been completely cleaned of brush and restored by old-timer volunteers. And it's now maintained on a regular basis. Grandmother's grave and headstone can now once again be seen in this charming location. Maybe there's a glimmer of hope after all.
At arround 28 mins into your video there are pebbles dropping from the roof of the tomb, those who rest within are aware you are there. Informative video , though I feel some places are best not having attention drawn to them by not disclosing the exact location.
Hello Sue ... and GV. Fabulous video. ❤ When you first got into the graveyard I felt it had a charm and wonderment about it. But the further you went in and the more you shared with us, my heart sunk. I felt so sad that the graveyard had been left to nature - which although beautiful in thought, sadly nature, in this instance, had taken over and destroyed what was, and is, to some extent, still there. So glad that the camera captured that stone falling from nowhere! Absolutely brilliant! Just a quick question Sue, have you been watching that BBC 2 programme 'Uncanny'? Here in England, it's on a Friday night at 9pm. Wondered if you'd watched at all. Sending love and hugs ❤ ~ Cobs. x
Never heard of that programme I'm not sure if I have BBC 2. Might see if I can watch here, yes I felt the same, some areas are breathtaking and others sad and eerie
Thanks for this one. I hope that they are clearing the graveyard. It's SO sad to see gravestones unreadable and weeds and fallen trees everywhere. I'd say the incident with the stone was paranormal. I had something similar happen in a churchyard when a pebble hit a watering can as if it was thrown but there was no-one around.
The brickwork above where the stones seemed to fall from was a reddish colour and in good smooth condition but the stones which fell from above were greyish and a different material - Scary!
It's sad that people don't want to take responsibility about maintaining cemeteries. These were once living, breathing human beings. I know that there is at least one lady on TikTok that cleans up graves. She will give you the info that she finds out about that person and her family. I'm sure that there are more out there doing the same thing.
Ohhh my goodness talk about creepy! 😮 yikes! Especially the object that was thrown! 😬😬😬 So sad to see the state of this cemetery! Super scary for sure! Thank you for such a wonderful explore Serenity Sue & GV ! Best wishes to you both! ♥️🇨🇦🇮🇪♥️
Spooky place! The birds were making some crazy noises. I think a piece of mortar from the ceiling fell down as you were filming, great timing! Great video!
Rabbits, foxes, skunks and badgers are just a few that would dig holes like those. And crows can mimic a lot of vocals, even sounding human. But some things can't be explained. Love you guys.
That place gave me the hibby gibbies. I wish someone would clean it up. So much history and they are letting it go. Sue be careful walking around those to many holes. God bless you both. Kathy
OH MY HEAVENS THAT IS THE MOST DIS-ORGANISED CEMETERY I HAVE EVER SEEN! That walled up burial was amazingly interesting! Must be really important people? Why hasn’t anyone kept the grounds? Like there are a lot of bodies surely they can’t just abandon it?
@@SerenitySueGraveyards WHICH IS REALLY TERRIBLE! I could be very wrong, but if it was in Australia (WHICH OUR LAWS PIGGY-BACK OFF OF the U.K.), this should/would be CRIMINAL, TBH, as I believe you paying for the Health & Safety (OH&S) and respectful upkeep of our resting place? These neglected yards are serious OH&S hazards + Dis-repair + vandalism, would be neglect and breach of contracts, I would say? (I NOTE that human rights may or may not be involved as it may be a grey area as when someone is deceased it's all CRAZY! Do you know if there are any universal rules/laws surrounding the deceased resting places?) Also, given that these places are accessible by all the public I am certain OH&S is the #1 CONCERN?
It was a beautiful cemetery but it seems so forgotten. Is it anywhere near a town or settlement? Those headstones are not that old and the whole place has been abandoned. How sad. It was a bit haphazard the way monuments and box tombs were laid out. And there was still so much more to see. That is a lot of people that have been forgotten. For some reason, this one really upset me. So many totally forgotten, what a shame. I mean I am really upset. What county is this Sue? People buried their dead here and I don't suspect they expected it to turn out like this. One question. What kind of trees are those that come up with 15 or 20 tree limbs and grow straight up with their greenery? They were all over the place. I have been wondering about those trees for a while. I just realized that I have been rambling on. So sorry. Great video. I must be tired or I just lost my mind. ♥️🤔 Oh those were definitely stones being thrown around. This would be a great paranormal one. I just keep going, you would think I had been drinking but I am not. 😮
I'm still watching and can't figure it out but there was a noise we heard when putting phone back on gimble, not sure what it was, a bang or knock maybe
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I can’t either! It was wild and that rock was definitely thrown. It doesn’t fall down. If you notice it comes up from the bottom. It was crazy!
Very sad to see a graveyard fall into such a state, the tombs were interesting though. As far as those falling rocks were concerned, perhaps someone was trying to tell you something. Interesting video, thank you very much Sue and GV. Be careful out there.
Although greatly overgrown ,it exudes a Beauty of its own.maybe it’s natures way of protecting those who rest here,another great video sue enjoying it immensley,👋👋🙏🙏🇦🇺
Looked like a big rock that fell inside that mausoleum/tomb but I didn’t see any spot on the ceiling that it could have fallen from. It was a beige or tan color. Spooky!
Weird graveyard. It didn't make any sense, how it was laid out. The stone falling was spooky! The ceiling looked fine. I doubt it came from up there. Looked like it was thrown. 😱👻
Very good video. Beautiful graveyard. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication in providing us a special view into the wonderful history of your country. Your friends in Georgia USA.
Sue can get into the smallest cracks to get the best shot you got a gift SUE, It was a rock fell from the top or the side the hole ceiling is falling apart everything is loose your moving around trying to get a better shot.⚰⚰
Thanks for this great video ! Sue. Very sad to see such graveyard full of history and hidden stories is forgotten or abandoned and may be completed reclaimed by nature in years later. Are there any religious organizations or non-profit groups taking care of this old abandoned graveyard? I hope there are dedicated volunteers can help to clean up this graveyard and repair the damaged headstones.
Seems like they fell from the middle but looking at the ceiling it's perfect, maybe from the shelf area, having said that there is a lot of rubble on the ground area that can be seen
Yes, that's what I was think when I stopped filming to put phone on gimble we heard noise again inside, not sure if it was a stone falling though, more like a bang or knock, hard to tell
Hi sue, this just came upin my feed and was wondering where this video is and also do you say the name of the cemetery at the beginning of the video. Thanks from Australia
Thank you guys I enjoyed the video the noises and stone being thrown was bizarre! Halloween isn't even here yet! are you going to go back on the night? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know Jules, I was on edge as soon as I heard strange sounds, even the horse sounded demonic 😳🤭😅 if the ground was safer I'd definitely go back but I probably twisted my ankle 100 times during the day lol
Great video, Sue and GV. So sad to see so many stones ruined by the trees. That was scary looking inside the crypt. That piece of brick came out of no where. Glad you both are ok. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Sue, I am honestly surprised you did not encounter even more than you did. When burial grounds are disturbed it is a known that is messes with the flow of things. The newer the disturbance the worse encounters will occur. Perhaps that is why the workets left without completing the job. There are prayers of protection and also you can end a film then ask God to not to allow anything there to follow you home. I say a prayers always before visitors come, short version. Holy Father I ask a hedge strongest of all around my home today. I ask in your nsme that any addictions on the people coming not be allowed to enter my home. I humbly thank God for all he has blessed me with and I always make a point to tell anyone revealed to me that they are free of example of smoking while in my home and the habit will stay gone as they leave as long as they leave it on the sidewalk where they came into my home. I am sharing this with you to let you know that God protects his children. No matter what may be lurking, be it a real spirit or the regenerated evil done that loops for eternity. God Bless, A fan.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it ❤️

That's a beautiful story, sorry I'm only seeing this now, youtube don't always send a notification for reply, I'm so happy it's been cleared
The moss covered stones somehow seen to belong here. From dust to dust. Its beautiful
Yes they do I love it
Beautiful graveyard ❤ very old graves and history here. Headstones need repair and the area cleaned up.
Yes I agree
At arround 28 mins into your video there are pebbles dropping from the roof of the tomb, those who rest within are aware you are there. Informative video , though I feel some places are best not having attention drawn to them by not disclosing the exact location.
Thanks ❤️
Incredible. Thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it!
Hello Sue ... and GV. Fabulous video. ❤ When you first got into the graveyard I felt it had a charm and wonderment about it. But the further you went in and the more you shared with us, my heart sunk. I felt so sad that the graveyard had been left to nature - which although beautiful in thought, sadly nature, in this instance, had taken over and destroyed what was, and is, to some extent, still there.
So glad that the camera captured that stone falling from nowhere! Absolutely brilliant!
Just a quick question Sue, have you been watching that BBC 2 programme 'Uncanny'? Here in England, it's on a Friday night at 9pm. Wondered if you'd watched at all.
Sending love and hugs ❤ ~ Cobs. x
Never heard of that programme I'm not sure if I have BBC 2. Might see if I can watch here, yes I felt the same, some areas are breathtaking and others sad and eerie
Thanks for this one. I hope that they are clearing the graveyard. It's SO sad to see gravestones unreadable and weeds and fallen trees everywhere. I'd say the incident with the stone was paranormal. I had something similar happen in a churchyard when a pebble hit a watering can as if it was thrown but there was no-one around.
Wow, Tony, that's creepy 😳
The brickwork above where the stones seemed to fall from was a reddish colour and in good smooth condition but the stones which fell from above were greyish and a different material - Scary!
@sunrise1485 initial I thought ceiling but yes when I was editing the video, I realised not the ceiling, so where then, the wall?
The speed the stone fell at was as if from much higher than the ceiling it's a real puzzle!@@SerenitySueGraveyards
@sunrise1485 didn't really think about that but yes that's a puzzle 🫣
So glad you don't go into these places alone..stay safe❤
I seldom go alone now, I've had a few experiences that scared me
Wonderful video, thanks very much. And thanks for the effort to get some not-so-easily-obtainable videos of the interior.
Thank you ❤️
Thanks….when that leave played hide & seek in the gate as you left that tomb….hmmm
😮. ❤❤❤❤. ✌🏼💜
😁
It's sad that people don't want to take responsibility about maintaining cemeteries. These were once living, breathing human beings. I know that there is at least one lady on TikTok that cleans up graves. She will give you the info that she finds out about that person and her family. I'm sure that there are more out there doing the same thing.
Thanks, yes it's terrible, if church is abandoned the church should still be responsible
Ohhh my goodness talk about creepy! 😮 yikes! Especially the object that was thrown! 😬😬😬 So sad to see the state of this cemetery! Super scary for sure! Thank you for such a wonderful explore Serenity Sue & GV ! Best wishes to you both! ♥️🇨🇦🇮🇪♥️
Thank you ❤️
Top number at least your both safe,stay safe,👋👋🙏🙏👍from ballarat in Oz,god bless.
Thanks 👍
I saw on camera a white couple of stones thrown - mystery!
I suppose there's a possibility it could be from the wall, definitely not the roof but either way, It shook me lol
It was strange! It was like cement/clay type BUT THE CEILING IS BRICK lol very strange! God Bless You!
Yes, it is very strange and a little creepy
@@SerenitySueGraveyards SO TRUE! How did you feel for the rest of the night and week? Any spooky feelings?
Spooky place! The birds were making some crazy noises. I think a piece of mortar from the ceiling fell down as you were filming, great timing! Great video!
Perfect timing and certainly gave me a fright
Rabbits, foxes, skunks and badgers are just a few that would dig holes like those. And crows can mimic a lot of vocals, even sounding human. But some things can't be explained. Love you guys.
Thanks Robin ❤️
You’re right Suuee that’s a creepy cemetery,wouldn’t wanna be there at night 😮
I would, maybe 😕
What a very intriguing graveyard Sue. But it is a beautiful setting the way nature has taken the land back.
It is, definitely nature winning
@SerenitySueGraveyards I'm now binge watching your videos. There is no other way to spend a Saturday morning ✝️✝️
That's so sweet ❤️
This graveyard would be spooky at night,a great place for a nighttime walk Sue & GV !!❤
It would
Hello Sue always lovely to see you, amazing episode was glad to journey out with you.❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much 💖
That place gave me the hibby gibbies. I wish someone would clean it up. So much history and they are letting it go. Sue be careful walking around those to many holes. God bless you both. Kathy
My thoughts exactly
Susan este cementerio es el más me ha impresionado y a pesar de su abandono tiene un encanto muy muy especial, felicidades por el vídeo 👌
Thanks so much ❤️
The church is breathtaking. I could sit there for hours
Me too
From one Sue to another, well done. Keep doing what you’re x3 doing.
Hello Sue 👋
2 Small stones fell. That is a leaded coffin, That is old.Great Video sue Like always, God Bless
Thanks yes all lead, probably 1800s
All the deteriorating grounds and fallen trees is the earth reclaiming itself. Nothing lasts forever. Excellent tour, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
OH MY HEAVENS THAT IS THE MOST DIS-ORGANISED CEMETERY I HAVE EVER SEEN!
That walled up burial was amazingly interesting! Must be really important people?
Why hasn’t anyone kept the grounds? Like there are a lot of bodies surely they can’t just abandon it?
Lots of the older graveyards are abandoned unfortunately
@@SerenitySueGraveyards
WHICH IS REALLY TERRIBLE!
I could be very wrong, but if it was in Australia (WHICH OUR LAWS PIGGY-BACK OFF OF the U.K.), this should/would be CRIMINAL, TBH, as I believe you paying for the Health & Safety (OH&S) and respectful upkeep of our resting place?
These neglected yards are serious OH&S hazards + Dis-repair + vandalism, would be neglect and breach of contracts, I would say? (I NOTE that human rights may or may not be involved as it may be a grey area as when someone is deceased it's all CRAZY! Do you know if there are any universal rules/laws surrounding the deceased resting places?)
Also, given that these places are accessible by all the public I am certain OH&S is the #1 CONCERN?
Sorry only seeing this now, I'm actually not sure about that
Great Scenery and trees
It was a beautiful cemetery but it seems so forgotten. Is it anywhere near a town or settlement? Those headstones are not that old and the whole place has been abandoned. How sad. It was a bit haphazard the way monuments and box tombs were laid out. And there was still so much more to see. That is a lot of people that have been forgotten. For some reason, this one really upset me. So many totally forgotten, what a shame. I mean I am really upset. What county is this Sue? People buried their dead here and I don't suspect they expected it to turn out like this. One question. What kind of trees are those that come up with 15 or 20 tree limbs and grow straight up with their greenery? They were all over the place. I have been wondering about those trees for a while. I just realized that I have been rambling on. So sorry. Great video. I must be tired or I just lost my mind. ♥️🤔 Oh those were definitely stones being thrown around. This would be a great paranormal one. I just keep going, you would think I had been drinking but I am not. 😮
Thanks Janet, it is always sad to see forgotten graveyards, I think some of those trees were rhododendrons completely taken over. Its co. Waterford
Thankyou sue ,love your videos
Thanks Marie ❤️
Magiical place. Thanks for the tour.🎃🎃☠️💀☠️💀
Happy halloween.🎃🎃
Happy Halloween 🎃
another great video the work you do bring people to life is wonderful thank you
So nice of you to say Jamie
Well at least the weeds weren't 6 feet tall. This place must get a lot of rain. Flood damage in the crypts. Great tour❤️🎃☠️🎃❤️
That's true Brenda
Still a charming little cemetery 👍 excellent as always Sue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and happy Halloween 👻
Oíche Shamhna shona duit, that's a little bit of Irish for you Jim, Happy Halloween 🎃
That was a crazy catch! I have watched it twice!
I'm still watching and can't figure it out but there was a noise we heard when putting phone back on gimble, not sure what it was, a bang or knock maybe
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I can’t either! It was wild and that rock was definitely thrown. It doesn’t fall down. If you notice it comes up from the bottom. It was crazy!
@@stephanieblankenship3481 I definitely felt like we needed to leave
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I would have gotten out of there too!
Very sad to see a graveyard fall into such a state, the tombs were interesting though. As far as those falling rocks were concerned, perhaps someone was trying to tell you something. Interesting video, thank you very much Sue and GV. Be careful out there.
Thanks Michael ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards You are very much welcome! Thank you very much for getting back to me.
It is lovely green. If you don't think it is a resting place.😢
I saw those stones fall. Be careful around old structures like that. Great video.
Thank you, I will
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I was worried you were going to get your foot caught in one of those holes.
Although greatly overgrown ,it exudes a Beauty of its own.maybe it’s natures way of protecting those who rest here,another great video sue enjoying it immensley,👋👋🙏🙏🇦🇺
That's so true Peter
Looked like a big rock that fell inside that mausoleum/tomb but I didn’t see any spot on the ceiling that it could have fallen from. It was a beige or tan color. Spooky!
Me either, I'm going back and fourth here, ceiling looks like red brick
I thought it looked like all red brick too. The rock that fell was definitely not red brick though.
@sheilan6235 I don't think it was red either
Those railed fences are beautiful!
I loved them too
Beautiful and creepy old graveyard.
Happy Samhain/ Halloween 🎃
Happy Halloween 🎃
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank you. 🎃
It must have filled with water and floated the coffins. That lead holds up well doesn't it?
It does, unless it's been tampered with
It is so sad when you see this happen. The cemeteries are abandoned with no more funding to keep up with it
Yes, I'm sure there was some effort done to clear
Hi guys . Have a safe visit and travels!❤
Weird graveyard. It didn't make any sense, how it was laid out. The stone falling was spooky! The ceiling looked fine.
I doubt it came from up there. Looked like it was thrown. 😱👻
Yes Don, I couldn't figure out the the way they are laid out, so strange, 🤷
Ok 😮. I would have been gone faster than you can say”bye”
Oh we left fairly quick after it, noises in the woods too, very eerie 💀
@@SerenitySueGraveyards for you two to leave, it must have been not good😱
Beautiful graveyard, where nature has taken over. Now something didnt want you to disturb their rest.
Thank you, I said a prayer and left
Very good video. Beautiful graveyard. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication in providing us a special view into the wonderful history of your country. Your friends in Georgia USA.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Steve
Sue can get into the smallest cracks to get the best shot you got a gift SUE, It was a rock fell from the top or the side the hole ceiling is falling apart everything is loose your moving around trying to get a better shot.⚰⚰
It will eventually fall in I'm sure, which is terribly sad
Thanks for this great video ! Sue. Very sad to see such graveyard full of history and hidden stories is forgotten or abandoned and may be completed reclaimed by nature in years later. Are there any religious organizations or non-profit groups taking care of this old abandoned graveyard? I hope there are dedicated volunteers can help to clean up this graveyard and repair the damaged headstones.
I think they had started to clear but for whatever reason its stopped, maybe lack of funds or just the weather here lately
this goes to show that unfortunately everyone will eventually be forgotten, does not matter how grand your grave/tomb is.
nobody wants to spend money on the dead so we end up with graveyards like this
I have to agree, I've seen so many beautiful mausoleums that are rotting away
It’s quite weird where the stones dropped from. And rather coincidental when you were filming !
Seems like they fell from the middle but looking at the ceiling it's perfect, maybe from the shelf area, having said that there is a lot of rubble on the ground area that can be seen
@@SerenitySueGraveyards yes but for it to drop while you’re filming is too scary 👻
Yes, that's what I was think when I stopped filming to put phone on gimble we heard noise again inside, not sure if it was a stone falling though, more like a bang or knock, hard to tell
@@SerenitySueGraveyards ok that’s wayyyy too creepy
Yup 👻
As much as its a shame to see graveyards in such disrepair, there is something beautiful about it.
I completely agree with you there, unfortunately in another 10 years, this will be completely forgotten
looks like a good place for a ghost hunt. 💖💖💐💐
It does but dangerous for walking around, after the noises we heard its definitely a great spot for paranormal activity
@@SerenitySueGraveyards 💖
Always love your videos. Why is there no one to clean this place 😮
No family left, it's really hard to get permission as no one takes accountability for these old cemeteries
If I was retired, living in your country and had a little bit of money I would do it. It would take some time to do it 😉 it would be Nice
Oh me too, that's what I'd love too
It makes you wonder how lovely it must have looked back in the day.
Hi sue, this just came upin my feed and was wondering where this video is and also do you say the name of the cemetery at the beginning of the video. Thanks from Australia
Hi this is waterford Ireland, yes I normally say where the graveyard is but I wasn't sure of the name here thanks
Thank you guys I enjoyed the video the noises and stone being thrown was bizarre! Halloween isn't even here yet! are you going to go back on the night? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know Jules, I was on edge as soon as I heard strange sounds, even the horse sounded demonic 😳🤭😅 if the ground was safer I'd definitely go back but I probably twisted my ankle 100 times during the day lol
Where did the strange sound come from? Did you observe any movement or shadow crossing ? Really it is scary video..thanks Sue..
Hi again sue hope you're well and in good form today.
Morning!
Great video, Sue and GV. So sad to see so many stones ruined by the trees. That was scary looking inside the crypt. That piece of brick came out of no where. Glad you both are ok. Thanks for sharing!
Outta there now!!!
Find a door and move onnnnnn
Glad you enjoyed it Pam
Sorry I keep missing. Dad cemetery for sure.💞🤗
Hi Susan, send me a message anytime, thinking of you 😘
That was strange as it was all bricks and that was a stone spooky
Yes can't explain it
Its so sad to think they all forgotten and never to be remembered
It is sad hopefully our visit let's them know they are not forgotten
There would have been a. New road down there if id heard a voice footstep or a stone thrown?????goodbye cruel world. Im gone.
😅😅😅😅
Dear Sue, I am honestly surprised you did not encounter even more than you did. When burial grounds are disturbed it is a known that is messes with the flow of things. The newer the disturbance the worse encounters will occur. Perhaps that is why the workets left without completing the job. There are prayers of protection and also you can end a film then ask God to not to allow anything there to follow you home. I say a prayers always before visitors come, short version. Holy Father I ask a hedge strongest of all around my home today. I ask in your nsme that any addictions on the people coming not be allowed to enter my home. I humbly thank God for all he has blessed me with and I always make a point to tell anyone revealed to me that they are free of example of smoking while in my home and the habit will stay gone as they leave as long as they leave it on the sidewalk where they came into my home. I am sharing this with you to let you know that God protects his children. No matter what may be lurking, be it a real spirit or the regenerated evil done that loops for eternity. God Bless,
A fan.
Thanks so much ❤️
It's amazing what time and nature do , l bet that cemetery was lovely once 😊
Yes Tina, I can still see the beauty I'd love to see an old picture of the graveyard, it's such a strange set up
