I believe this happened often back then so they started constructing contraptions attached to a bell and there would be a night watchman to listen for the bell to ring.. It's where the term "saved by the bell" derived from.. I absolutely love your channel and am so thankful you do this! I watch you while having my coffee, every morning lol.. of all the people who explore graveyards, you are by far, my favorite!
Great story!
Saved by the bell!
I heard a few year ago that was experimented in Berlin, Germany, back in the 19th century.
Thought it was also called a dead ringer
Thanx
@@travisriffle4220 another good name from that practice!
I couldn’t imagine what she went through if it’s true. R.I.P. to the Hatchers family
Right
Ive heard of ppl showing up to their own funeral because the family thought they were dead
Either the husband really loved her (which I'm sure he did), or he was so distraught about finding her corpse the way he did with scratch marks on her coffin that he felt necessary to erect a huge statue of her on her grave in her honor. No way of knowing if the story is true unless they exhume her yet again to see if there are scratch marks on the coffin
Hello SA Explorer ,, I agree , and even if he re-casketed her , there would be evidence of bone damage of even the slightest amount on the finger bones . I hope that exhumation never happens . Leave her be , it would only be done to satisfy our curiosity ... Have a great day !!
They could have replaced the coffin when she was reburied, though. Who knows? 🤷🏼♀️
@@spiritmatter1553 yes that's possible too. Didn't think about that.
I hope,for her that she passed at home ect too. I couldn't imagine not only being deathly sick, but waking after,only to have your second chance at death snuffed out and in such a scary, horrific way..poor family.
May this family rest in peace. Good commentary and content.
Thank you Lamont, that was a sweet but very sad story, back in those days it was properly quite possible that she was buried alive, there’s a women in my town who was buried alive twice, that was in the 1600,s, she has a blue plague in the the Cemetery were she is. Her name was Mrs Blunden from 🇬🇧. That must be the most frightening thing ever to be buried alive, and for a mother to go through all that pain, and then her child dies within hours. That’s a enough to put any women through depression, I love her statue, I love the way she looks right over Cemetery and beyond. What a charming husband to do that for his wife.RIP to Octavia, Jacob and James. Always together in death.💐💐💐.
Before there were EKGs it was possible the coma victims might be mistaken for dead.
A few years ago my wife died. My daughter asked me if she may have been mistakenly buried alive. I assured her NO WAY! They treated the body with formaldehyde which is powerfully poisonous. Then the body lay in the mortuary for 8 days until the burial took place. That's a lot of time for the formaldehyde to snuff out any remaining spark of life.
That served to reassure my kid. It's likely not going to happen nowadays.
Sorry to hear of your wife's passing
I’m very sorry for your loss, and for your daughter’s worries.
I’m so sorry for your loss but I do admire the way you did your best to reassure your daughter that it wasn’t possible. After my sons father passed we started watch another TH-camr who runs a mortuary and explains things like this. It’s really helped my sons and I all deal with things better. Take care 👋🏻
I had that conversation with my daughter when my son died. He was an organ donor so it didn’t take much to convince her.
Lamont it was not uncommon in the 19th century and earlier for people to be buried alive who were in a coma. Medical technology was not as rapidly advanced as it is today where we have machines to detect the faintest heartbeat.
My mom told me stories of people buried alive in her dad. Scary thought
That's why they had "wakes" so if you weren't dead, they would find out. I guess not everyone had them.
@Black Black pain response as a way to ascertain life.
The old mirror trick
You don’t say….
I couldn't imagine being buried alive it's so sad... I'm glad your doing stories in my state. RIP The Hatcher family 🥺
Nearly 100k you've done great work. I'm impressed :P
Lamont, I'm from Pikeville KY. I grew up hearing that story. I never went there at night to see if she really did roam the grounds. That's so cool that you went to my hometown.
Nick , Do you know the story that the statue of her turns her back on the city on the day she died or that they say you can also see her also in the graveyard on the day of her death ? Do you know the story that she appears also on Halloween ? We have such a interesting history here in Pike County, Ky !!
@@loisdamron8863 I have heard stories or the woman crying for her child. I also heard that one of the statues bleeds from the eyes. Don't know if that's her or a different one.
@@nickhughes6807 Yes those are also told about her. There is also stories of the statue coming to life.
I agree with you Lamont that this is probably an urban legend. hard to believe that this story wouldn't make the news back then. then again, ya never know!
Very common actually. Medical doctors were not great. People were regularly buried alive. The evidence was always around when grave diggers had to move such coffins to make room.
You never disappoint brother!! Ty lamont !
Hi Lamont. Very beautiful. I love all the greenery. Enjoy your day. ☘️🌿🌱🌾
It does make you wonder when walking around really old graves, if some of them were buried alive. Where the term "dead ringer" actually comes from. If that was installed at your gravesite. Horrible to imagine.
Victorian era people invented various alarm contraptions because of a widespread fear of burying someone alive.
What a beautiful Cemetery. Thanks for the video I do appreciate it.🌻😊
It’s not an urban legend. This happened occasionally- many families heard the stories of their relatives being buried alive. Sad but true. Very cool statue for her. Thx Lamont
Beautiful statue, thank you. I enjoy your story telling very much.
Love you Lamont! Living my dream. 🙂
Nicely done as usual great video, great story telling
Lamont your in my town. I grew up there and went to school.... all my relatives are still there. They just had a lot of flooding and devastation.
Yeah i was reading it online, alot of people have died :(
@@FascinatingGraveyard yes even 4 small children from the same parents and oddly a zebra.. some man owned three. The cemetery u left from I have a grandmother from many generations ago buried there. My family lives on a road called Cowpen anyone would know if u ask lol..funny names huh. I'm in Newnan, Ga now visit Oakhill when you come bk to Ga. They have a arm buried there... Lol for real.
@@SherryRB I went to school with you Sherry Boyd. How’s it going? Me I’m married with five daughters.
@@loganblack4885 I'm good indont remember your name. Where did u attend school
They used to put a string attached to a stick with a bell from the coffin so if someone was buried alive they could ring the bell to be dug up. They had people who would walk the grave yard listening for those bells.
Hence the saying “ saved by the bell “
Awesome story, I lost a baby boy at birth 22 yrs ago, I still can't hold new born boys
I’m sorry for your loss🥺
@@lamaramariewilson6746 thank you, I can hold after 2 months old
I’m so sorry, that must be so wrenching. 😢
E
@@spiritmatter1553 it ok, but my grandchildren mostly understand, wish I could move on, love all my kids and grandchildren
It happened regularly in Ireland before embalming. We have a neighbour who's a grave digger, he has to move old coffins regularly, some of the very old coffins often had the body on it's side and scratch marks and brown blood marks on the inside lid. If they didn't wake up during the quick "wake" then they were buried quickly and not embalmed. Hence the graveyard "dead ringer" bells 🔔, sometimes connected to the corpse for the keeper or family to hear.
Hi Lamont, I suggested a video to do on Martin Gurule in Corpus Christi, TX. I wrote a more detailed comment about it in your short video about Tiktok removing one of your videos.
No other TH-cam crime storytellers who visit physical sites have done Martins story. He was a death row inmate that broke a record like Bonnie and Clyde but he was found drowned in a river.
good video! as always! thanks!
OMFG that's one of my biggest fears of being buried alive! That and drowning. I told my family to give my organs to those who can use them then fry my ass down to ashes. DON'T BURY ME! lol
I agree Kimmie. Definitely two of my biggest fears of how you could die, including being eaten by a shark, catching on fire…aren’t we pleasant! Lol
@@letitbesummer6536 lol. Unpleasant but realistic. It gives me such anxiety to even think about being buried alive. Could you imagine?! 😳 Eeeeek!!!!!
This happened to someone in our family back then too. Same thing, the mother kept having dreams until they dug up the daughter and sure enough, she scratched the inside of the coffin.....she had been buried alive too. It's so sad....
No newspaper articles could also mean that her husband paid off the press to silence them. That's not exactly something a wealthy man would want known.
I just want to congratulate you in advance on your almost 100,000 subscribers on this channel!
Lamont, I heard alot of stories about people being buried alive back in those days. Strange they didn,t know 🤔 to listen for a heartbeat. Even if you are in a coma, you will have a heartbeat. Horrific way to die. Opening your eyes and realizing you are in a casket and you can,t get out. May Octavia R.I.P.
Yes they often used the breath on a mirror technique instead of pulse, sometimes though the pulse was too weak and there was no breath, no CPR just straight to the grave.
Great job. I always enjoy the story that you tell with each grave visit.
Beautiful section of the graveyard. You did well as per usual thank you.
Great Job Brother
You’re always so respectful Lamont, thank you for this quick one, always enjoy hearing your voice and story telling😌
R.I.P. to the Hatcher Family 👪❤. Great story Lamont
Thanks lamont for another great explore that poor woman being buried alive thats awful 😢 take care my friend much love from England 🇬🇧❤ 🇬🇧 ❤
That must have been terrifying. But quite a statue. Things are still expensive. I remember in a Cemetery here in Cape Town there was a big grave or at least headstone 🪦 of a man that had been very wealthy as his acclaimed were on the headstone. Just a few feet away was a small rock like headstone and all it said on it was the words Our Mom. That's it. It was sad to see but it said a lot about the situation. The family who had buried their mom must have been very poor but it would have given them some comfort that she wouldn't be forgotten by their family.
This is SOOOO heartbreaking 💔😥, ty, Lamont 4 sharing... God bless & stay safe always 🙏 ❤
That would be horrifying. Thank you Lamont for the video. Always enjoy them.
cool amazing video beautifull cemetry
Thanks so much Lamont- you're so awesome!
Wow that is crazy and scary
After you cover this story in Pikeville Kentucky . About this man having nightmares about his wife being buried alive August 3rd 2022 the finally put this story on the news after all this time I guess . This is what it took to get them to shed some light on the story about this lady being buried alive. I am happy you did cover the story because it needed to be brought out.
Would you ever consider doing some stuff in the Uk Lamont? I'd love to meet you and see some Vlogs from Britain. Thank you, you do some amazing stories.
I believe he talked about this in his last live stream! it should still be up :) titled "marked for deletion" on Lamont at Large
Serenity Sue & Grave Visitations have a channel in Ireland. It's really good
@@janbellflower6361 thanks
Cool. Pikeville, KY is only about 45 minutes from where I live.
Rip Ms Hatcher such a sad story...her poor baby too...her husband rip too..🙏😇😢🌹🌹
You’re in my neck of the woods. 👍🏼❤️
I agree, its an urban legend. People in those days published who is invited to the party on Thursday in the newspaper. They would have ran this for days.
Babies passing away shortly after death was unfortunately not uncommon back then.
I live on the outskirts from Pikeville , Ky and we always heard the stories growing up. There is one that she cursed the city for her death and on the date of her death the statue of her turns her back on the town. They also say you can see her on the date of her death in the graveyard. There is also stories if you go to the graveyard on Halloween you will also see her. Sad story and heard my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles tell of stories of people they thought they died but they didn't and buried them alive. This is why some old graves have a rope or chain going down into the grave so if they wasn't dead they could ring the bell so they could dig them up.
Lamonte i always enjoy your videos and that is a sad story of being buried alive, if she was. Wonder why it never got in the papers? Maybe they were really upset over the mistake rhey made? That lady really suffered!
In Octavia time they considered some one in a coma as some one who’s dead
Thank you for that very interesting piece. I never knew that story. Right next door- almost- Again- perfect!! Love everything you do Lamont!! Peace out-
I could not watch zombie movies if I lived in that very first house Lamont walked by.
The definition of being buried alive is, HELL on earth!!!!!!! What a sad but creepy story Lamont, yet interesting. Catch you on the rebound, / G the E
Love you Lamont thanks for the videos keep going 😘 x
I made a visit there this past year. A lot of conflicting info as i researched it. Amazing view from the cemetery.

I made visit back in May.
Lamont I heard Stories about people being buried alive, I can't even imagine of people being buried alive and Octavia Hatcher went through. R.I.P. OCTAVIA HATCHER AND THE HATCHER FAMILY FLY HIGH WITH THE ANGEL'S 💐😇🙏💔🥀🕯️🕊️💜✝️.
Wow cannot believe thank you for sharing this story you the best story tale👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
Rip to the hatchers family we will miss you 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
My mother told me about her 30 years ago I believe it to be true. My mother wouldn't lie about this. But you do an awesome job keeping going I injoy all of your content
Back in the day it was very common, that's why some people put Bell's or Escape Hatches on the Graves because embalming wasn't always done 🌹
It wasn't really a thing until the mid 19th century. I had a few elderly relatives in the 80s that weren't embalmed, on a hot sunny day you knew it too.
This happened quite a lot back then that is why they would tie a piece of sting on the finger of the death leading up the grave attached to a bell and they would hire someone at night to sit in the graveyard and listen for the sounds of bells. That is where the saying Working the graveyard shift came from.
Another upload from the GOAT himself 🔥
Since there was no newspaper article, I'm more likely to believe her to be haunting. Perhaps. Another excellent vlog, as always!
I like to believe it is an urban legend, because I couldn't imagine her being buried alive. I don't even like to think about it.
I turn my back. Do a few jobs and low and behold, you’ve done another video. Thanks Lamont x
It was very common back then for people to be buried alive ! So sad !
Didn’t people start putting bells at gravesites with a string leading to the buried people? This may in fact have happened. Very interesting and fascinating for sure!! Great job Lamont!!
Yes, they had a couple different devices to “detect life” in a grave. Saw them in a funeral history book years ago when I was in mortuary school.
Wow, one hour from me. On other side of CC trail at Phelps Ky at bottom of mountain , look right handed up on mountain there is a old Indian grace yard , great hike up on hill . Very scary if Amy of your friends are into that? How sad , I bet he went crazy over that?. We was up on top of CC one night drinking a few about 28 years ago and a man came up to window and disappeared . Another friend was riding he's ATV down hill of CC trail toward Phelps and something got on behind him and got off at foot of hill, he thought we was playing a joke on him , wasn't us . How could anyone do that and him going .more to tell if they want?
Thank goodness they didn't give up on me when I was in a coma for 3 months.
I always wondered exactly where the body is buried in comparison to the lining of the headstone. I don't think they are directly below.
not directly below .always in front
Ohh thank you!
So sad yet frightening!! 😳😳😳
I was just there back in June! Her statue is very pretty.
I can’t even imagine how Mr.Hatchers mind set was if it did happen ? He obviously loved his wife by the looks of the statue, and the fact that he is buried at her feet. Very touching regardless If urban legend or not. Great job Lamont. Thank you
Tragic, I wonder what happened to the statues right hand?
You're right let me tell you something around here stuff happens Kentucky and West Virginia that's never printed in the newspapers. Sometimes it still happens to this day.
Sounds like you have some stories to tell.
I'm from the area and I've always heard about this story
That is so sad Lamont God I hope that's just an urban legend that would be awful to be buried alive my God you take care and God bless you
Hello Lamont 👋
Oh no! 😵
You do amazing job 🤩
It often happened in the 1800s that’s were the term graveyard shift came from they hired people to work overnight shifts in cemetery to listen for the ringing bells that were attached to a string down the inside of someone’s coffin in case someone was buried alive they could ring it for help
Excellent video
Some on here say it was a device called saved by the bell. However it was called a dead ringer. A string placed on the finger of the buried that was attached to a string that if the "deceased " woke they could move their hand and a bell would sound out if anyone was around to hear it. Sad none the less. At least modern medical tech makes almost certain one isn't counted for dead whilst just in a coma.
Embalming is the true way to be assured that someone is dead…all the blood is pumped out and replaced with formaldehyde.
How interesting! Urban legend or not! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
✌️♥️🤗
It is a lovely story & in beautiful Kentucky hills♥️
Can't believe you were in Pikeville
This is my hometown thanks for visiting
What a beautiful town.
I can't imagine there would much oxygen to sustain a person for more than a very short time in a casket underground. All the supposed signs of premature burial (body contorted, nails fallen away) are signs of decomposition.
She only lived maybe 8 minutes inside the ground. The brain cannot survive without oxygen to the brain.
I think you’re right, except for the torn casket lining.
Thank you Lamont at large for the video god bless you keep you safe always ❤ 🙏 😊
There you are! So glad you found it. Are you still here?
Yes this was sad but good video thank you for doing this video
No matter if it was in her case or not but that definitely happend and it's horrific to think about when you wake up and you are unter the ground and can't get out omg
I hope she wasn’t buried alive. RIP to the family 🙏🙏 thanks for sharing Lamont 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Emma little pengelly buried at San Antonio national cemetery in San Antonio Texas
What I dont understand is when this become common why didn't people give the burials a certain time frame. They should have waited a few days before burials.
So sad, may they R.I.P.
the statue is beautiful and there are some writings below it, i wish you had zoomed in your camera...
