Can you do a story on all the Native American gravesites that were located and dug up in Erie? There were many! 26th and Holland while digging for railroad tracks, 22nd and Cascade, under Port Access Road, etc. What happened to the bodies?
My Fathers company, Whipple-Allen Construction Co. Was the developer of this park, in conjunction with a number of other individuals. The bodies were located by a Gentleman using a set of wire rods used as divining rods to locate the bodies.. I was 16 or 17 at the time and have a couple pics of the exhumations, one is of my Grandfather Albert Allen Sr. Handing a skull to the coroner standing on the ground above him.
When we were kids in the 1950's our dad took us there to load the car with bricks from the "old poor house". Built a backyard barbque with them. Last time I drove by the house it was gone. Oh well.
I was wondering if you could do an episode on St. Joseph orphanage on 6th and Maryland? My mum used to tell me about friends from Villa Maria who were wards of the orphanage. Two of those friends became Josephites and were both my teacher in high school. I wish I had the nerve to ask them about their lives there, but one sort of frightened me and the other I owed substantial library fines.
I had been thinking about doing an episode of St Joseph's. I'm myself a small part of Erie's history. I was one of the last children from there. I arrived at the orphanage in August of 1970 and was adopted out in December of 1971.
On a related note, what about a video on the Erie Infants' Homes? My father lived there as a baby for about 6 months in 1930. The best I can tell, this home served as something like a day and night care where parents paid weekly to have their children kept. Unlike an orphanage, parents did not give over custody of their children. I'd like to learn more about the Erie Infants' Home.

good work, this is awesome
Thank you for producing these video! They are excellent!!!!
I can't wait to tell my friend he works on hallowed ground at Amazon. Sad they refused to exhume everyone.

Since we dont have enough history of haunted buildings in this city. Amazon, you want a haunted warehouse....this is how you get a haunted warehouse .
