Hey Ron, the grave wit the baby was a lady named Carmen who was murdered by her ex-husband in front of their child & the other name is her brother who she is buried with. She was murdered in 1912
I don't think they entered the profession by choice. Not many choices for women back then teacher, nun , nurse, mother wife Not much. It's very sad. And odd men have needs but it is ok for them to go to a whore house
Wow, never heard that term ‘soiled dove’ - it’s so insulting. These women didn’t have much choice. Great story Ron, the place comes alive with your storytelling.
The iron fences around the graves is an attempt to ward off body snatchers for medical schools. As well as keeping out wild scavengers. Jerome is a beautiful area. The town has changed alot since the 70's when I was last there. TY Ron.
Town must be cursed if it was burned down that many times. 🤔 love the history lesson the walking through the cemetery. May everyone there rest in peace.
I don't think it was cursed I think it was the nature of the industry. Plus no electricity so lanterns and candles, open fires for cooking and warmth, accidents are bound to happen and like Ron said all the buildings are made of lumber
Thank you Ron for the interesting history. Once again, you killed it. I’m running out of words Ron. You are one awesome storyteller. 🎃 I know you’ve heard this repeatedly 😊 much hugs to you and yours.
This one hit me on the anniversary of my husband's death is 27th of October I lost him back in 2019 and I've been in my little rabbit hole grieving for like 4 days you never really get over a death and we were together since we were kids I love this one this one kind of spice me up a little bit to get up and make effort to get up I love your cemetery walks and I'm also the lady with the fractured arms in bed for a while do you always come up with good ones you never let me down you never have been Halloween is my favorite time of the year favorite holiday and I love the history of the Old West I have a bachelor's degree in civil war history in that era so it's kind of like my cup of tea and I'm drinking a hot cup of tea that's my auntie from Canada it would say at top of the day to you Governor LOL and you just made me feel a whole lot better to eat cheer me up I do truly appreciate your channel both of them now I like the new one too and I love the history of the old west and this town is really freaky spooky and out there thank you for another good tour guide like you and I love cemetery history thank you thank you thank you and can't wait to get Britain on board too this one would be wonderful for you and him his perspective you're his perspective and it makes it even more enjoyable he's a great guy you two together are Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson LOL thank you. 🇺🇲☮️🎃🎃🎃🎃
So sorry for the loss of your husband who you loved so deeply. I understand how you feel. Lost my True Love only months after we met. We knew we were meant for each other when we first met. It was difficult to bear, and can still do a number on me if I let it. I did meet another who I believe my True Love sent to me. One a Virgo, the other a Pisces. Both Navy men, and both born the same year. Saw them both the first time when they walked through a door, and love hits like that. My True Love knew I’d need him. Just don’t give up. Keep going. Take the time you need to hole up a bit to grieve and miss your sweetheart, and then rise to the occasion of life in his honor. You are a beautiful soul, and his love is with you every step of the way even today. True Love never fades and it never dies. That kind of love lives on forever and knows no boundaries. He is watching over you, and holds you in his heart as well. You will see him again. Much love and hugs to you, Margaret.❤
Hun I am so sorry about your husband, but how lucky to have married your childhood sweetheart! I had a childhood sweetheart we lived next to each other and everyone knew one day we would get married! One day we had a huge fight and we never spoke to each other again and now it's too late he died a few years ago of a massive heart attack in his 40's. Yes I did move on(I post on my husband Frank's acct), but some things one never gets over. I am sorry you lost your husband, but how fortunate you were to have had him! May God comfort you,,,, Patricia Gambino Harrington
I was very curious about this place. I looked up rentals on Zillow and found an apartment on Hull Ave. I can only imagine the ghost roommates you would have!👻😁
You have a great story telling voice and I can't even tell if you do it all from memory or read it from notes or even do voice-overs because it flows so smoothly out of your mouth. It's a talent, a gift or both. Thanks Ron
I live in Clarkdale; which is as close to Jerome as you can get... ;-) The Haunted Hamburger is said to be haunted (hence the name LOL)! The town itself is a bit creepy feeling and yet fascinating at the same time! Love and hugs to you and yours!
The mortality rate in those days sure was pretty high. I wonder what the percentage of people were who actually made it to old age. It is a creepy looking area. Ron, you are so respectful and so great at telling stories that you even make the profession of being a lady of the night sound like a classy job. Great video. Graves sure are different. I'd like to know what was going on at the grave where the baby doll, candle and spoon were👍
“He was dead on arrival at the bottom…” You are a fantastic story teller, Ron. This is your true calling. A free roll in the covers every night to the firemen if they saved the building of the Soiled Doves. Well, if that didn’t inspire those firefighters I don’t know what would. I can only say if one of the firefighters was my husband, well, he’d better be at home in bed at night if he wasn’t fighting fires! Haha! Thanks for the wonderful stroll through history and the lovely cemetery. Take it easy.
What an amazing place to see. Lots of colorful history. A perfect place for you and Brittan to do for IQ. I would love to see that! Thanks, Ron for telling us about this lonely place.
Was very intresting..I was 2 or 4 when my saint helens erupted and lived near it, and i dont remeber much bit the sky was grey and heaps of ash coated the streats.thank you for sharing this.
I stayed at the Connor Hotel last month that town is awesome. The cloudy mist rolls in early in the morning it's like a scene out of John Carpenter's the Fog.
So Ron, another entertaining and vibrant video! Thanks. Arizona has a wealth of places to explore steeped in history as you did one near Yuma about a family of pioneers. I lived in Yuma(1992-2008) which has a very interesting museum as well as the most visited AZ State Park...Yuma Territorial Prison, we also have a couple of cemeteries side by side.
This is a very awesome little town, I love all these little ghost towns. I especially like their little cemeteries, I don’t know if this is true or not but, I was told that the graves are put in these cages, to protect them from animals digging up the graves. And it makes them look kind of fancy. Thank you Ron, I really enjoyed this video, you always find so much information on your stories, and put so much effort into them. I especially like these in the old west, as I live in Utah and we have so many Ghost towns in our state, and also in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona. There are so many and you are right most of these little towns were mining towns. Also gold mines in California, I’ve never been there, not even to Disneyland lol 🎃
That first headstone that is written in Italian, according to google translate, says M Balzano. Born in Boca Italy, died in Jerome, Ariz. The 9th of January 1909. At the age of 20 years.
The fact that they moved not only Jennie’s body, but probably so many others, to build a football field is so disrespectful, deplorable, and down right disgusting! Just knowing that they believed football was more important than someone’s eternal resting place, that makes me lose faith in humanity! Thank you, Ron, for giving, not only Jennie, but so many others the respect that they deserve.
I used to live in AZ, & Jerome was one of my fav little places to visit. Pretty lively on the weekends, & neat little ghost towns during October leading up to Halloween. The Connor Hotel there is also haunted. You’re in town at the perfect time of year.
Richard Harvey was born in New York, June 1869 per the grave marker (Jan 1870 per a 1900 census of that area ) listed at a lodger along with a large list of others at the Montana Hotel. His occupation at the time of his death was a smelter feeder. It appears he was unmarried. The cause of death was listed as natural, heart failure. A contributing factor was acute alcoholism. His father was born in England and his mother was born in New York according to that census. I found a little bit of conflicting information according to voter registration records, he was born in England, and became a naturalized citizen in Baltimore MD, Oct 5th 1891. The record keeping back then isn't always the most accurate, but most of the time you can kind of figure it out. Just a little more info to add to the story. If he was around during one of those periods where there were a lot of deaths due to disease, he was a smelter feeder, I can see why he might have had a problem with alcohol. It's also so sad about Jennie. To die in that manner, only to then be removed from her resting place for a football field. Geez, it always makes me ill that people can be so callus for the sake of "progress'. May they all rest in peace.
Hi Ron...I lived in AZ from the mid 70s to mid 80s. Had the pleasure of visiting Jerome back then. The House of Joy was a 5 star restaurant back then. The old schoolhouse was a place for local artisans. Very quiet there....I loved it. There was an old house next to the House of Joy. It had a very twisted chimney and was interesting to look at. It blew down in a bad windstorm. The restauranteur said that while the House of Joy was sturdy on the main level, the upper levels and stairway was not so sturdy but he did say the upstairs accomodations were still up there as left..not fancy at all. The restaurant portion had a small parlor and had pictures of some of the doves. The business district was fun.. little shops. I thoroughly enjoyed Jerome.
What a beautiful cemetery if you like nature at it’s best. Bless all the souls there. Great tour for a place I could never see in person myself. Great pictures. Thx Ron!
Working in the copper mines also led to death due to cancer. When the smelters were cleaned, folks had to take their potted plants in to save them. Grass in those areas were pretty much non existence. My inlaws lived in the Clementaue and Cottonwood areas but also worked Jerome. I'm sure the Pirtle name still exist there and in Sedona. My husband's grandmother left behind her 3 babies in a Sedona cemetery when she moved. Also her parents and part of her siblings who continued to live the remainder of their lives in Arizona. We were there several years ago and were able to see some of the area where they had lived and worked. Beautiful country!
Love your voice telling these stories. Todays commentary took me right back there, the saloons, the drinking, the prostitution, the shootings. Wow, it must have been really tough back in those days, great story telling , again .
Yes thanks for this beautiful place and the walk around all these graves in this strange cemetery 🪦🪦🪦 🪦...very interesting and I love listening to the history around this place too... loved it Ron and ty....👍👍great job and good video and safe travels Ron and be careful everywhere you go .....💕💕💖🪦🪦👍❤️👻🕷️🕸️⚰️🎃🎃🦇🦇🦈🦈🪳🐜🦗🎃🎃.... almost Halloween 🎃....very haunting place too....
I was at jerome a couple years ago we drove from Phoenix to the grand canyon threw all the caverns on the the old road and jerome was one of the stops cool places all over Arizona
Thank you! The vistas were aridly beautiful. The stories were nightmares! But some survived. A few thrived. A handful became wealthy. And that was the Wild West!! Wow! Thanks for helping us see and learn. You are a storyteller par excellence!
Wow Ron what a place. The wrought iron fences where definitely built to last. I love seeing the old pictures, thanks for taking us on this very interesting place Ron. So many deaths regarding the ladies and the miners, both professions most definitely very dangerous.
Hi Ron, Happy you are visiting Jerome.. I live about 10 mins.away...Alot of history there...that is a different kind of cemetery then you usually visit...The hotel is supposed to be haunted they say..Enjoy your time there...💕🌵
Wow! Never been to Arizona. This is a sad cemetery. So long ago. These loved ones are not only forgotten they are gone! This is a very interesting place. Ugly as heck. Just so sad. In with the new. Out with old. Our cemeteries will last a long time. We have plenty of room now day's. I hope we RIP forever. I'm sad for the loved ones who were just swept away. Just like that. No wonder the place is haunted. Do not disturb the dead. Boo. Great walk today. The Holloween stories were great. No tricker treaters here in Michigan. Crappy weather. I loved Holloween! I think this era is over. Bad people reck everything. Maddening. Love your new channel. Briten too. Great jobs guys
Mon Dieu, I guess you can say a good time was had by all😶😶😶 Just walking down the street was probably a dangerous maneuver. What a history!!....That is a cemetery I would love to visit. Cages around the graves...Now, about those snakes...egad. And jumping cactus?? Another great great telling of a story. Have a great day! 🙂🙂🙂
I'm so happy you got to Jerome! I love that town for the ambiance and the shopping! I've been there many times but never to the cemetery! I need to get up there soon! The large building that you wondered about used to be a hospital I believe. I could be wrong. It could've been a mansion for the owner of the mine. When you get to town you'll see the jail that slid down the mountain. Hippies took over that town in the late 60's and early 70's. There's still remnants of their existence in town. I have to find that book you spoke of something about Cleopatra. I think Cleopatra is the name of one of the mountains out there but I could be all wet on that too! I honestly just go there to shop, eat hamburgers drink a beer. My ex was all about the history of the place.
I'm maybe two hours away stayed at all the "haunted" hotels and let me tell you the one with the most activity was The Connor Hotel that place has activity constantly I actually sleep pretty good because all the excitement was gone lol just don't stay on the weekend. Stayed at the Grand few times....nothing
Back in the days alot of mining ⛏️ deaths an accidents .i notice out west alot of old mining ..looks like a beautiful view . Tomorrow finish setting up for the big fishing an hunting expo in green Bay .last weekend had to setup my friends husbands vendor ..three day event thank you Ron . This reminds me of Kenny Rogers the gambler..❤
Used to hang out there all the time when I was in my 20's. It was a bit less touristy at that time. The jail that has slid down hill hundreds of feet was the big attraction. I think some of those larger buildings are not original. Haven't been there since the 90's.
The scenery there is very pretty. This true story of the history of the wild west reveals it was really rough times for people. So many tragic deaths in one town and either some are now unmarked graves or it is a sign that very many people were cremated. All those people, now lost and forgotten.
What an interesting different Cemetery .Coming from growing up in a mining community some of this really stuck home for me. Great video. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
I have a great uncle whose stepson (who also happened to be a distant relative of mine) lived in Jerome the last couple years of his life. He had been a Jerome State Park supervisor those last two years. Before then, according to his obituary, he was supervisor of the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Monument. I’m guessing that was for about 13 years since he moved to Arizona about 15 years before his death in 1967. I was doing some research on my family tree and stumbled across this on his Find a Grave listing. I’ve never gotten around to really looking more into what he would have done in those positions specifically. But I’ve always been rather curious. He wasn’t buried in this cemetery, but if you’re curious, his name was Robert E. Ladd.
I bet that cementary is very spooky at night! And, if there were to be a cat close by and it stepped on one of those cacti, someone will be tearing that one apart getting out of there!
Very interesting stories about this place from you Ron. Never seen a town with Graves that looks like this! So weird with those cages around them. Thanks for taking all of us to visit. God Bless.
Hi Ron, we love going to Jerome. In fact, we are going on Thanksgiving weekend. We have reservations at the hotel at the Asylum. And we have reservations for a ghost tour that weekend, too. Can't wait. It's always fun going to Jerome.
Hi Ron, I loved the video. It was so sad that nobody came to help this poor lady. It was cold and Calais. I would love to see you do a video on the Clown Hotel in Las Vegas. Keep up the great work. Joan
What a good story Ron it would be neat to go there and check it out thanks for doing all those good places you go to so we can see all this stuff and learn how it was like back then good one👍👍👍👍
Oh thank you for this video Ron, I loved hearing about the people and the awesome graveyard. I’ll never make it there to visit so it was a fun trip with you. Such beautiful landscapes.
Pretty interesting. Such wild times. I do wonder if violent death could cause more chance of haunting. When I think of that town in it’s hay day I have far more appreciation for my quiet life. It seems like these people were used to mining tragedy and a violent culture. They gave us some very amazing stories. Thanks Ron.👻💀👻
Hey Ron, the grave wit the baby was a lady named Carmen who was murdered by her ex-husband in front of their child & the other name is her brother who she is buried with. She was murdered in 1912
wow, thanks for sharing!
I don't think they entered the profession by choice. Not many choices for women back then teacher, nun , nurse, mother wife Not much. It's very sad. And odd men have needs but it is ok for them to go to a whore house
I ❤️ the caged graves!! Totally different atmosphere being buried in the hillside beneath that 🔥 Arizona sun!! Great storytelling Ron!!
Blimey how sad is that
Ur welcome. I love ur story telling. Always been fascinated with cemeteries.
What a beautiful and lonely place, I can see why it's haunted 👻. Thank you Ron for all you do for us ghouls!
When this video started I it made me think of Italy 🤷 but it's very interesting town thanks Ron
This is one of my favorite places to stay. The old Hotel.
I went to Jerome in 1984, but not the cemetery. Thanks for taking us along on your walk.
Wow, never heard that term ‘soiled dove’ - it’s so insulting. These women didn’t have much choice. Great story Ron, the place comes alive with your storytelling.
Me either, I'd never heard that. The idea of it made me mad too, what terrible names they had for the profession. lol
The House of Joy. Was a great restaurant. Now, I hear it's a lingerie store.
They used the term "Soiled Doves" in the John Wayne movie, The Cowboys ! Colleen Dewhurst led the Doves and was encountered by Roscoe Lee Browne.
The iron fences around the graves is an attempt to ward off body snatchers for medical schools. As well as keeping out wild scavengers. Jerome is a beautiful area. The town has changed alot since the 70's when I was last there. TY Ron.
Town must be cursed if it was burned down that many times. 🤔 love the history lesson the walking through the cemetery. May everyone there rest in peace.
I don't think it was cursed I think it was the nature of the industry. Plus no electricity so lanterns and candles, open fires for cooking and warmth, accidents are bound to happen and like Ron said all the buildings are made of lumber
Thank you Ron for the interesting history. Once again, you killed it. I’m running out of words Ron. You are one awesome storyteller. 🎃 I know you’ve heard this repeatedly 😊 much hugs to you and yours.
With all the rocks and pebbles on the ground, it seems it would be hard digging a grave. Loved this video. Thanks, Ron.
This one hit me on the anniversary of my husband's death is 27th of October I lost him back in 2019 and I've been in my little rabbit hole grieving for like 4 days you never really get over a death and we were together since we were kids I love this one this one kind of spice me up a little bit to get up and make effort to get up I love your cemetery walks and I'm also the lady with the fractured arms in bed for a while do you always come up with good ones you never let me down you never have been Halloween is my favorite time of the year favorite holiday and I love the history of the Old West I have a bachelor's degree in civil war history in that era so it's kind of like my cup of tea and I'm drinking a hot cup of tea that's my auntie from Canada it would say at top of the day to you Governor LOL and you just made me feel a whole lot better to eat cheer me up I do truly appreciate your channel both of them now I like the new one too and I love the history of the old west and this town is really freaky spooky and out there thank you for another good tour guide like you and I love cemetery history thank you thank you thank you and can't wait to get Britain on board too this one would be wonderful for you and him his perspective you're his perspective and it makes it even more enjoyable he's a great guy you two together are Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson LOL thank you. 🇺🇲☮️🎃🎃🎃🎃

A gated ghost community love it
Can't get it in life, might as well have it in death!

I live in Clarkdale; which is as close to Jerome as you can get... ;-) The Haunted Hamburger is said to be haunted (hence the name LOL)! The town itself is a bit creepy feeling and yet fascinating at the same time! Love and hugs to you and yours!
My Mother Loved Jerome Az. Also Tombstone, we spent a good amount of weekend’s in both circa early 70’s. Great memories of my Mom.
The mortality rate in those days sure was pretty high. I wonder what the percentage of people were who actually made it to old age. It is a creepy looking area. Ron, you are so respectful and so great at telling stories that you even make the profession of being a lady of the night sound like a classy job. Great video. Graves sure are different. I'd like to know what was going on at the grave where the baby doll, candle and spoon were👍
If you made it past your first year of life you were most likely going to make it to adulthood
🎃🍂🍂🍂👻❤hi gang! I lived in Tucson AZ for about 10 years. Beautiful place, dangerous and unforgettable ❤
I’ve been to Jerome twice and am fascinated by the town. It draws you in with its haunting history! Thanks for this vid!!!
L histoire de cette ville minière. Son cimetière qui domine la vallée. C'est intéressant je veux bien croire que des Âmes se promène ! Merci Ron
Places are haunted during the day time aswell. Awesome place i never knew about thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.
“He was dead on arrival at the bottom…” You are a fantastic story teller, Ron. This is your true calling. A free roll in the covers every night to the firemen if they saved the building of the Soiled Doves. Well, if that didn’t inspire those firefighters I don’t know what would.

Stunning scenery Ron. You get to see all the diverse sites of our world.
Visited Jerome, many years ago. Fascinating historical town. never made it up to the cemetary. Just walked the town.
What an amazing place to see. Lots of colorful history. A perfect place for you and Brittan to do for IQ. I would love to see that! Thanks, Ron for telling us about this lonely place.
Was very intresting..I was 2 or 4 when my saint helens erupted and lived near it, and i dont remeber much bit the sky was grey and heaps of ash coated the streats.thank you for sharing this.

I've been to Jerome. I live in AZ!
I work as a Mine electrician, we use explosives and luckily we have a good safety record and no local cemetery full of dead miners lol 👍😃
Thanks, Ron, for another great video! Loved the walk & the stories,I absolutely believe that's a very haunted area,spooky!!

Beautiful country!
Love your voice telling these stories. Todays commentary took me right back there, the saloons, the drinking, the prostitution, the shootings. Wow, it must have been really tough back in those days, great story telling , again .
Had lunch at the Jerome many years ago. Fascinating place. Beautiful area. Great stories as usual, Ron 💜
Amazing history and I love the stories and pictures!! I really like that last headstone!!
That has to be the creepiest cemetery I have ever seen. Even the sunshine and beautiful view didn't change the creepy feeling for me.,
Wow what a place. I have seen lot's of paranormal videos on TH-cam, but i never seen this place in any of those videos. Thanks Ron.
Yes thanks for this beautiful place and the walk around all these graves in this strange cemetery 🪦🪦🪦 🪦...very interesting and I love listening to the history around this place too... loved it Ron and ty....👍👍great job and good video and safe travels Ron and be careful everywhere you go .....💕💕💖🪦🪦👍❤️👻🕷️🕸️⚰️🎃🎃🦇🦇🦈🦈🪳🐜🦗🎃🎃.... almost Halloween 🎃....very haunting place too....

Classic mining town cemetery, sad and desolate, the ground is so poor for burial. It's shocking that the graves are still there.
Thank you for a very nice visit to this place! I enjoyed hearing the history of this place , too!
Thank you! The vistas were aridly beautiful. The stories were nightmares! But some survived. A few thrived. A handful became wealthy. And that was the Wild West!! Wow! Thanks for helping us see and learn. You are a storyteller par excellence!
Interesting storie's from jerome arizona cool history lesson on poor jennie and walter thank's mate..
Hi Ron, thank you for sharing the link. This is one of my favorite places.
Love the history.
I currently live in Arizona (7 years) Native New Englander.
Yet another fascinating post Ron, regards from your friends here across the pond 🇬🇧 stay safe on your travels 👍🏼
Wow Ron what a place. The wrought iron fences where definitely built to last. I love seeing the old pictures, thanks for taking us on this very interesting place Ron. So many deaths regarding the ladies and the miners, both professions most definitely very dangerous.
Hi Ron, Happy you are visiting Jerome.. I live about 10 mins.away...Alot of history there...that is a different kind of cemetery then you usually visit...The hotel is supposed to be haunted they say..Enjoy your time there...💕🌵
I have never seen a cemetery like that. Thank you for taking us on your adventures. Can’t wait for the next story.
Those mountains are beautiful!.very interesting story.
Another great one Ron. Thank you for sharing. 9000 people wow.
Ron, you have outdone yourself this month! This is great!🎃🖤🎃
What fascinating and haunting history the old towns of the west had ,another great story Ron,take care stay safe from ballarat in Oz,👏👏👋👍🇦🇺
Absolutely love the way you tell a story bro! I felt like I had gone back in time.
We enjoy Jerome, many contacts with Spirits there, especially at the old High School and Graveyard...
Wow! Never been to Arizona. This is a sad cemetery. So long ago. These loved ones are not only forgotten they are gone! This is a very interesting place. Ugly as heck. Just so sad. In with the new. Out with old. Our cemeteries will last a long time. We have plenty of room now day's. I hope we RIP forever. I'm sad for the loved ones who were just swept away. Just like that. No wonder the place is haunted. Do not disturb the dead. Boo. Great walk today. The Holloween stories were great. No tricker treaters here in Michigan. Crappy weather. I loved Holloween! I think this era is over. Bad people reck everything. Maddening. Love your new channel. Briten too. Great jobs guys
Thanks Ron, for loading this video! Jerome, AZ is beautiful in it's own way! God Bless
Very interesting, beautiful and a little bit spooky place. Great view!!!!
Stay safe
See you (and Brittan))in the next one
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉😘😘👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I will continue to invite Brittan on some select episodes here, but he and I are full time on the new channel now (IQ)
Mon Dieu, I guess you can say a good time was had by all😶😶😶 Just walking down the street was probably a dangerous maneuver. What a history!!....That is a cemetery I would love to visit. Cages around the graves...Now, about those snakes...egad. And jumping cactus?? Another great great telling of a story.
Have a great day! 🙂🙂🙂
I'm so happy you got to Jerome! I love that town for the ambiance and the shopping! I've been there many times but never to the cemetery! I need to get up there soon! The large building that you wondered about used to be a hospital I believe. I could be wrong. It could've been a mansion for the owner of the mine. When you get to town you'll see the jail that slid down the mountain. Hippies took over that town in the late 60's and early 70's. There's still remnants of their existence in town. I have to find that book you spoke of something about Cleopatra. I think Cleopatra is the name of one of the mountains out there but I could be all wet on that too! I honestly just go there to shop, eat hamburgers drink a beer. My ex was all about the history of the place.
GREAT STORYTELLER, RON!👍🏻😁 THAT'S ONE SCARY PLACE TO BE; EVEN IN DAYTIME!!!🤯🤯🤯
Really enjoyed this episode Ron. Gorgeous area of the state.
thanks Cheryl!
I'm maybe two hours away stayed at all the "haunted" hotels and let me tell you the one with the most activity was The Connor Hotel that place has activity constantly I actually sleep pretty good because all the excitement was gone lol just don't stay on the weekend. Stayed at the Grand few times....nothing
Hi from Arizona! It was nice weather when you came out! I love those old ghost towns.
Back in the days alot of mining ⛏️ deaths an accidents .i notice out west alot of old mining ..looks like a beautiful view . Tomorrow finish setting up for the big fishing an hunting expo in green Bay .last weekend had to setup my friends husbands vendor ..three day event
thank you Ron . This reminds me of Kenny Rogers the gambler..❤
Used to hang out there all the time when I was in my 20's. It was a bit less touristy at that time. The jail that has slid down hill hundreds of feet was the big attraction. I think some of those larger buildings are not original. Haven't been there since the 90's.
Good evening you beautifully people! Hi Ron
The scenery there is very pretty. This true story of the history of the wild west reveals it was really rough times for people. So many tragic deaths in one town and either some are now unmarked graves or it is a sign that very many people were cremated. All those people, now lost and forgotten.
What an interesting different Cemetery .Coming from growing up in a mining community some of this really stuck home for me. Great video. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Nice final resting space. Nice view. Wonder if the big building you zoomed in on was a hotel or factory.
Wow, that was some wild west story to me! How elegant those ladies were in the photo!
I have a great uncle whose stepson (who also happened to be a distant relative of mine) lived in Jerome the last couple years of his life. He had been a Jerome State Park supervisor those last two years. Before then, according to his obituary, he was supervisor of the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Monument. I’m guessing that was for about 13 years since he moved to Arizona about 15 years before his death in 1967.
I was doing some research on my family tree and stumbled across this on his Find a Grave listing. I’ve never gotten around to really looking more into what he would have done in those positions specifically. But I’ve always been rather curious.
He wasn’t buried in this cemetery, but if you’re curious, his name was Robert E. Ladd.
So many forgotten Graves here . Fascinating though really interesting thanks Ron
I’ve never heard the expression ....The soiled doves before which I found to be an interesting piece of info!
I bet that cementary is very spooky at night! And, if there were to be a cat close by and it stepped on one of those cacti, someone will be tearing that one apart getting out of there!
Great episode Ron, thanks for taking us along!
Liked the vlog looks like a very intresting place from Margaret P England
Ok, Ron. Would absolutely love to see you educating us about Deadwood, SD! Many stories to tell. Some day? 😊
Wow, those amazing views!!
Very interesting stories about this place from you Ron. Never seen a town with Graves that looks like this! So weird with those cages around them. Thanks for taking all of us to visit. God Bless.
Hi Ron, we love going to Jerome. In fact, we are going on Thanksgiving weekend. We have reservations at the hotel at the Asylum. And we have reservations for a ghost tour that weekend, too. Can't wait. It's always fun going to Jerome.
I hope you're wearing boots walking around that cemetery! SSSSSSSSS!!
Those wrought iron fences were put around to keep the spirits in.
I have gone walk about in that cemetery on two different occasions while traveling in Arizona.
cool that would be great to explore 😀
86 Saloons, sounds like an Aussie country town
Hi Ron, I loved the video. It was so sad that nobody came to help this poor lady. It was cold and Calais. I would love to see you do a video on the Clown Hotel in Las Vegas. Keep up the great work. Joan
What a good story Ron it would be neat to go there and check it out thanks for doing all those good places you go to so we can see all this stuff and learn how it was like back then good one👍👍👍👍
Oh thank you for this video Ron, I loved hearing about the people and the awesome graveyard. I’ll never make it there to visit so it was a fun trip with you. Such beautiful landscapes.
Great story....thank you for taking us along with you...i love the beard.
Sounds like you had to be tough just to live there. Very interesting place. Thank you for giving us such an interesting tour.
Thanks again Ron you do a great job
Pretty interesting. Such wild times. I do wonder if violent death could cause more chance of haunting. When I think of that town in it’s hay day I have far more appreciation for my quiet life. It seems like these people were used to mining tragedy and a violent culture. They gave us some very amazing stories. Thanks Ron.👻💀👻
