- Today we visit a graveyard in Killegy, Killarney, Kerry.
Rumoured for having satanic rituals and visited by many paranormal groups.
Killegy hold several amazing crypts and vaults with skelatal remains.
Killegy also has Irelands tallest Celtic Cross and a man who wished to be entombed sitting up in his vault to watch over his home in Muckross House in Killarney.
On Exploring the graves and vaults we find one of the most strange, sad and interesting inscriptions we have ever found. After cleaning the slab we discover a man deserted by friends and family who served in the army.
Thanks to his son finding his private papers we can now read what this man wanted as his inscription.

Sad to think james had a family that deserted him and has no friends.
But james had the courage to serve his country and his king.
I'm quite sure james holds a special place in the arms of the lord.
People of Ireland can be proud of this hero.
Greetings from Connecticut USA 🇺🇸
Thanks Allan ❤️
The thing is, Ireland was colonised by the British and at the time, Irish people had nothing but hatred for everything associated with England, and they would never call an English king their King. They would have disowned him, not been proud of him.
Which Ireland is that? Irish Republic or Northern Ireland?
This is Kerry, west of Ireland, in the Republic
I am so glad GV wanted to check out that engraved plaque in detail. So sad he felt so alone except for his army buddies. So good his son did this for him. It is an amazing old cemetery and views are. Awesome.
Carol, we felt it was meant to be, I truly believe faith brought us to visit James, GV was so good to clean the inscription
Rest in peace🙏🏼
No need to EVER apologise for anything Sue Your vids are amazing and this was no exception.Thanks for making the journey back to this wonderful place 😘
Thanks Maurenn, appreciate you
That was so sad about the man who had no friends and family deserted him he must have felt so alone I am so glad he had a son who wrote what he wanted to be writing and also that is the biggest cross I have ever seen thank you both for your video I found it really interesting ❤
Thanks Agnes, yes so sad
I'm so glad I came across your video's. They are so worth watching. Ireland is a beautiful place and I'm so proud to be part Irish. This video is very interesting, I'm happy for James that he had a good and caring son. Thankyou for sharing this video 💖💖💐💐
Ahhthanks Daphne ❤️
I love this video! How sad that the gentleman felt so alone. At least he had his son who made sure he was resting in peace in this awesome graveyard. That huge cross was very cool! Great video guys❤
Thanks so much Gina, James is remembered today 🙌
I think you all were drawn to James McGrath on purpose, it's almost as if he wanted to be remembered, if only by strangers. He knew he was an honorable man even though others may not have stuck by him, at least his son inherited his decency and did the honorable thing by making that plaque. Thank you GV for showing us a glimpse into somebody else's life. And what a beautiful cemetery! I too have seen the other videos; that Celtic cross is like no other, and the view! Breathtaking. Thank you guys and safe trip home.
Thanks so much for another great stream and some history of some amazing people in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Hello 👋 beautiful. I'm in Mckinney Texas. (🇺🇸). You forgot to mention the country you are in ? Thanks 😊 for the interestingly story. Good thing he said Ireland, as I was typing. I'll rewatch. Thumbs up. Keep up the good stories..
Yes Hollis this is Ireland, apologies x x
My Nan always told me & my siblings that Things happen for a reason which is probably right for you guys as well taking a walk in this cemetery & coming upon the inscription of poor James McGrath it’s like he needed his story telling, thanks for taking the extra time out to do the video I always love seeing your videos.
Thanks so much Jan, yes we felt he wanted us to find him ❤️
Breathtaking scenery, and I'm so, so glad that you found James' burial site and his plaque. I was so touched by the inscription and thrilled that GV managed to clean off the moss so that he could read the whole thing. I reckon you were directed to that plaque so that James' name could be heard and all watching could hear of his life and of his passing. Something made you stop there and investigate more. Loved this video. Thank you so much for all that you do. ~ Cobs. (Dorset. England)
Definitely, as we walked down the hill we said to each other we were meant to find him ❤️
This video was beautiful, thank you.
Thanks a million 😊
Glad you trusted your intuition to stop at this cemetery. It was so beautiful as you said the beauty of Green in Ireland. Poor James McGrath. I pray he’s so loved in his new life. Great video, touching.
Thank you, I think we were meant to find James, I really do
Gorgeous area! I think green burials sound awesome. They bury you in a “suit” (like comfy pajamas) made out of mushrooms, in a lovely place (like in forest) and nature takes its course. 😊❤
I have a natural burial ground on my channel, we were thinking of going back as so many request it, just to show the contrast. I loved it
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Oh, that would be Wonderful! I’d love to see it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a green burial . That’s how I want to leave this journey so peaceful and real. We return to earth of with we came , hey from USA
Right on
Watching from BC Canada. Always love your videos Sue . Keep up the good work , always fascinating.
Appreciate it Kastaways
That has to be the largest Celtic cross I’ve ever seen. Look at that view!
The grounds are old,
and beautiful!
The mountain range,just lovely.
Beautiful old growth trees! You guys go above and beyond for us!
Thank you.
No wonder he wanted to see that view forever!
Thanks Roberta ❤️
I will never tire of gazing upon that magnificent cross! It's hard to believe the little chapel is over 300 years old, and still intact. You were definitely meant to find James and uncover his story. I wonder if he was abandoned by his family as a child, or perhaps an orphan, to have such deep feelings of desertion as an adult. Thank you both so much for a wonderful adventure. Take care. Deb of Oz. XX
Thanks Deb, hoping to find more information on James, if anyone can help it would be fantastic ❤️❤️
Same here….stunning…
Will you be visiting Scotland? ❤
A beautiful graveyard. Thank you for another fine video.
Cheers Tony, it's so beautiful camera doesn't do it justice
I absolutely love how beautifully green it is there. Living in the desert southwest, It's like visiting a park for me. I love the history there, too.
Thanks Susan it's Lush here, love it, I'm blessed 🙌
wonderful place, kind of felt sorry for James McGrath to seemingly die alone…
Me too JJ to read what he had written in his personal papers kind of made me sad, maybe he wasn't a nice guy or maybe being in the army changed him, hopefully Kris on our channel can dig deeper for us
Thank you for taking us along. What a nice find of the covered stone of James.
I'm so happy we remembered James
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I am , too. He may not have had family love in his time. But he does now.
Interesting graveyard and a beautiful view! I love that huge Celtic cross. Very sad about the guy with no
friends and his family deserted him. Glad he had a son so his story can be told.
I'm so glad we found him
What a gorgeous High Cross. We were in Killarney but it was night till we got to our B&B and we wanted to eat. We went into to the town so quaint we ate at a restaurant on the second floor we sat beside the window. There was a bride with a short veil and a group of young ladies walking through the town. It’s was so nice to see the little town.
I adore Killarney, it's a real hot spot for tourists. Lots of hen and stag parties there too
Another fantastic video thank you both,rest up now and take care ,stay healthy,as for the graves and crypts ,think I said it before,maybe Mother Nature is reclaiming and protecting those who rest here .Their mortal remains are here but their souls are with their lord.
God bless them all and you both as well from ballarat in Oz,👏👏🙏🙏👋👍🇦🇺
Hi Peter, thanks a million
the soldier could have well fought in the battle of Waterloo, very famous battle and died of wounds after returning home. the waterloo battle was 18 june 1815, if so makes the plaque very important if this is the case.
Cool Tom, thank you, I feel we were meant to find him. If Kris or anyone can find more information I'll post it here
@@SerenitySueGraveyards The British Army and Royal Marines use the terms "officers of field rank" or "field officers" to refer to the ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and brigadier.
That cross is HUGE! In all my cemetery travels I have never seen anything that big. The cemetery was quite beautiful at that time at night, with the setting sun peeking through the trees. Lovely.
Thank you, yes it's the largest I've ever seen in my life, so beautiful
Beautiful area ! Beautiful cemetery! I believe you were meant to go there. So sad he was alone, even in death he drew you near so be would be thought of again
Thank you both so very much !
That's how we felt when we were walking back to the car, we were filled with pride, I felt he wanted us to find him
@@SerenitySueGraveyards exactly he wanted to feel like his life mattered :)
What a discovery of that tombstone for James. Agree this is a beautiful area. RIP to James and his son I'm sure has long since passed.
I'm so happy we found him 💓
Please take care of yourselves when you're out and about, filming for us to enjoy. You all do such a great job!
Thanks Ann x x
I wonder if James was a young orphan - without any family or friends - and so went into the army as a safe place - and though he may have done well and had at least 1child - never got over his life's rough start .Im glad you found him and cared some of his story .GV - happy birthday !
Oh Gabs, that really sounds about right and I never even thought of that, God rest him
Really enjoyed this excellent video! Thank you for your efforts. Ireland is absolutely beautiful. ❤
We are so blessed ❤️
What a absolute beauty of a cross
It's certainly the nicest I've ever seen Maire and what a stunning place it's in, Heaven on earth
I am sure that wealthy guy's body is BEHIND that wall.. because, in the video you can see the two coffins are in a basically narrow room but there is still quite a bit of distance from there to the spot right underneath the Cross. So, the actual owner of that elaborate grave is right underneath that Cross, that means behind that red wall...he must have been given a seperate room behind those red bricks. And those are not candles, they are salty discarges from the roof/above soil over a long period.
Oh wow, imagine getting a look into that area
When i see candles in or by a tombstone I like to think that descendents go there and leave a candle to memorialize them. Some places, like this vault i think only family have access to.
No need to apologize for what you do, that's the reason we are all here, we would love to be able to do what you do. James McGregors plaque was written to be read, it would be a disservice not to clean it off so he can be remembered once again, thank you for doing so, much respect ❤
Thanks Zoey, that means a lot ❤️❤️
Sue…so glad to see you today. Love you!!❤
Hi IrishAnnie ❤️
Thank you for showing us this beautiful place. The scenery is amazing. As you said, a beautiful place to be laid to rest.
Ahh it sure would be a nice place to be buried
What a beautiful place, so much amazing history! Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks very much, it sure was beautiful
Wow! What a find! I don't think I'd have noticed James' stone under those leaves. And, you debunked the myth of the man entombed in his chair! Thank you for the great tour. x
Thanks toms, I'm so glad we found James
Beautiful grave yard, beautiful scenic views, and very interesting plaque! Thank you!
Thanks Kim, I'm so thankful we found James McGrath, hoping our friend Kris will be able to get some info on him for us, if he can I'll share it with you all
That cross is massive and a little Erie too . Digging the shoes GV ! Thanks guys i really enjoy what you do ❤️
Thanks Randy, appreciate it 🙏
Wow! I don't think you'd see graves so deep in the ground with steps going down to it here in America, especially the further South you go from about the middle of Alabama, Southern Georgia, etc. because the water level is high (very sandy with underground streams). This is so cool!!
It is so cool, I've lots on my channel
Hi Sue. A wonderful video as usual for you😉I am so glad that both you and gv cleaned off the memorial. Such a sad story that was. And as i always tell you i would just love to be living in Ireland. Such a beautiful and proud country. Must be the three quarter Irish in me showing. Take care and God bless you.❤🙏
Hi Michael, I'm so happy we found James Mcgrath, sad story but we remembered him. Yes I'm blessed to live here, definitely the Irish in you
Wow what I can I say sue and Paul ur amazing thank you and God bless u be safe
Thanks Paul ❤️
Great video Sue! I love how you show everything. You bring these souls back to life when you read their names.
You're so very welcome 🙏
Im excited to have found this video! I have ancestral family from Killarney. King and Regan were their names.
Oh wow! Brilliant
My aunt traced part of our heritage to Ireland a long time ago, but could not get any further than knowing the Means side of my mothers side ,would not share info. But at least, seeing the land and mountains this way, I can see why they would love it. Ty for the video, looking for another.😊
Thanks Lorrie, it's very hard tracing back, I'm sorry she couldn't get any further
Thank you for taking the time and effort doing these videos Sue & GV,an amazing find with James MGrath,what a life he must have had.
Thanks Bailey ❤️
It's cool that you could actually get down in the vault to see the coffin. I've seen GVs video of this cemetery. Incredible LARGE cross!
That cross is absolutely amazing don't think we'll ever see one larger, thanks Becky
The Battle of Waterloo took place on the 18th june 1815 , I wonder if that had anything to do with the Field Officers death ?
A few have pointed that out, I wish we could find more information about James
How people liked their burial could be so!! Viewing out side mountains, lake and other various things even after their burial..Ireland history is so interesting..thank you Sue for this video gives an alternate thought..
Oh imagine it was like buying your home, find your forever home after death 🤔 scenery area etc
The earth we walk on moves at a slow rate that's why you get lots of cracks in walls of houses eventually things fall and slide in certain directions which cause these cracks and things to fall I've seen it happen in relatively new houses too as well as older ones subsidence happens in all buildings ( unsure if my spelling is correct etc but I'm sure you get the point etc)
I do Martin, good point
It’s always amazed me that people aren’t buried in the ground, mausoleums and vault/crypts just confuse me, I know now they don’t smell now but imagine going to visit a loved one 3 weeks to a month after death and burial….. 🤢
Sue, thank you so much for showing this beautiful area and beautiful Cemetery. That is gorgeous area that is and really enjoyed it thank you. I am also glad to see that that's soldiers headstone was found and I'm a believer that anyone who fights for their country should be remembered and not forgotten like that. Thank you both for sharing and hope both of you have a safe trip home and hopefully your asthma gets a little better.
Thanks Joel, appreciate it 🙏
27:30 but 200 years later, he has us 🕯️
Rest in peace, James and may eternal light shine upon your soul 🙏
Thanks so much Vow ❤️
Ireland is so beautiful. I would love to come there. Thank you for the hard work you do for us. This big Celtic Cross is so amazing. With that view it is so peaceful.
Thanks so much ❤
Be careful Sue,look after your breathing and keep your inhaler with you.
Thank you, I will
thats a sad story about James 😢 makes me wonder why he had no mates and his family deserted him , a remarkably strong man
Yesvery sad Julia, glad we found him
I for 1 am grateful that you do go up and down in these places its interesting and very humbling too as the people who are there were once like we are now and after all were all born with a date on our head invisible to us so these places give us these dates of those who walked the land many years before us so keep doing what you do god bless you and gv
Thanks Martin
Another great adventure . You two must be so fit , walking and climbing to bring us these videos. Loved the cross on the gate of the flooded tomb to stop spirits from leaving with you . Thank you so much x
Thanks Caron ❤️
Candles in tombs could be a sign of witchcraft or Satan worship but how do they get in if these vaults are locked ?
Another interesting video has always sue and family 👍
Thanks so much Tony, our pleasure
What a beautiful place to be laid to rest!!
I could happily sleep here in eternal sleep
Thank you both for the wonderful video. God bless🙏💕💕
Thanks Roxanne ❤️
Henry Hubert celtic cross is huge , i can see why they didnt bother trying to remove it , if it wasnt fully paid for , what a pretty cemetery such gorgeous countryside ❤ thanks for sharing Sue
Thanks Julia ❤️
Must be hard work getting a coffin down those steps 😊
It sure was
I remember when you were at this place before, Sue. The views are still stunning even at dusk ❤Poor James Magrath 😢 Do let us know if you find out more about him.
I'll definitely post it if we find anything on James
It could be the tree roots as I think if it had been done by people it would take at least 4 or 5 to shift it cos those things are heavy
Amazing and with the stone with writing plus the bones and coffins thanks to both
Cheers Tom, it was a great explore
Hi Sue it's been a while since I commented because I'm so busy with my own channel among other things. I still drop by though when I can and as usual all very interesting. I was thinking about the trouble you guys had in trying to clear away moss and dirt from James McGrath's resting place (21:27) and maybe a little hand brush you can get from any DIY store with stiff bristles in your backpack would come in handy more often than you think. Plus it would make the job of clearing away all that rubbish easier. Perhaps a bottle of tap water would help too but I do appreciate the fact you guys walk hills and climb which is hard enough on its own without adding the weight of water. Just a thought that's all Sue. But keep going with this great work on your channel because what you are also doing is immortalizing all these locations for future generations (far from being born yet) to see here before these places deteriorate a lot more and then lost forever. Can you imagine in 40 or 50 years time when 'WE' are all gone what people then will make of your videos? Your channel is a gem waiting to sparkle even more because all it takes is time 😉👍 Take Care and continued success to you both.
I always have a brush in car, with a few other bits, honestly after tracking up the hill in the heat, I just hadn't the energy to go get it
Yes good for GV doing a video too on the subject.
Thanks Sally

Thank you Cathy 😊
I really enjoy your videos! My ancestors are from Ireland and I hope to visit someday.❤
Thank you so much, I hope you can visit some day too x
Beautiful cemetery it makes you wonder if that gentleman is still sitting in his chair. If he is, what a wonderful view.
It is a glorious view
this looks interesting Sue 😮
Thanks Julia
Sue: your videos are always interesting! I enjoy them very much. A.McMahon- Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Thanks Anthony, appreciate it
Wow how beautiful I really need to get myself to Ireland and visit these areas of timeless beauty
It is gorgeous
I will tell you , sometimes one just gets a feeling and you found the plaque and cleared it. I say it’s God’s way at times. The home we lived before we moved, I was just given this feeling that I should look out the front door. I don’t do that very often. So I look out the front door and look across the the street at the neighbors yard. Then I see it. He was laying on the ground with his big Harley motorcycle on top of him. That motorcycle is heavy. I ran to our backyard and yelled at my husband that I neighbor was trapped under his motorcycle and could be hurt. Lucky for the neighbor the ground was soft from rain. My husband lifted it and he crawled out from under it. “God’s intervention “! That’s what it was! That neighbor was 72 years old.
Yes, we feel like we were meant to find James x thankfully your neighbour was OK x
You are the greatest! Thank you for all that you always do. ❤️👍🏽😍😘🌹💕🌺🇵🇷🇺🇲
Ahh thanks Cathy 😊 ❤️
Henry was an owner of Muckross estate. All that row are relatives of his, including the Vincents. Area is pronounced Kill-eggy
Thanks so much
Always interesting 😊😮❤
Thanks a million Linda 😊
I wonder how well a fiber-optic camera that plugs into your phone would work, so that you could slip it in between the bars when you're viewing vaults?
I have ie, there's a video here to show the problems with the one I own
Indecently there's a Celtic Cross tucked away in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. And It's quite a bit bigger. I came across it in the middle of the night the first time and I was under the influence let's just say, and I couldn't find it again until 18 years later! You should look it up you might like to have a look at it. Plus, How crazy would it have been if the guy was Actually just sitting there in a chair with a very dusty suit!
I'll look it up, yes I'd of loved to see a strange shaped coffin or a man in a dusty suit
@@SerenitySueGraveyards The Cross is big enough that I couldn't climb the base to get to it and I'm 6'1! Also If the guy was there I ight have said Beetlejuice?
That chapel is lovely ❤ I love the cross I have seen something similar in Carmoney graveyard the old part in N.Ireland, it wasn’t as big but it lovely all the same 😍
I find it fascinating how they can make such beautiful headstones, such workmanship
Hi there I'm new to your channel genuinely loving your content 👍 keep up with the lovely work your doing. Thank you both 👍😊
Hi and welcome, I hope you enjoy my videos, love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great guys. Thank you. Love 💘 from Africa 🌍 XXxX 💝
Hello Yvonne, wow Africa that's amazing
thank you!! fascinating. i live in New York state and we have some beautiful hills and mountains, but none as green as Ireland!
Thanks Marlene ❤️
Ireland must have some of the most beautiful celebrations in the world although I had to attend the funeral of my sister yesterday she died apart 18th 2023 and was buried yesterday the cemetery is an old one dating back to the 1700 in one place with 1800s and present day nearer the back of it
I'm sorry to hear that Martin
It must be that you cause a happy spark of appreciation from some folk who have lost track of the whereabouts of their ancestors but find them via a chance video shot of a gravestone in some abandoned, forgotten cemetery that you have chosen by either random or intent to visit. You are never disrespecting a grave by doing a little housekeeping.
Thanks so much, appreciate it 🙏
I couldn't guess where in Ireland your accent was wonderful. I love it my family come from ireland
This was kerry, I'm from wexford, thanks Don x
The HERBERT crypt is all meat and no potato’s 🫢 nice cemetery. 🐨🥰
😄😄😄😄
I like the presentation of this channel, reminds me a bit of "Faces of the forgotten" with am Irish accent. Keep up the good work
Thanks Nick ❤️
So nice to see my systar s and brother s in Ireland and to see some of my ancestors home land .keep it up friend s from across the pond thanks for showing me some home land I do miss home ....🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Always welcome my friend
Grass in New Zealand is as green as this. At my place I get that moss. I have a Irish 4x grandmother from Sligo
Sligo is on our list Collen x
So beautiful I love the work you guys do thank you for the amazing videos you do❤❤❤
Always welcome Steve
Sue, others mentioned this but there was a bricked up section on the back wall of the of that crypt. I too wondered if Mr Herbert could be sitting in there.
I didn't think of that Ben, others sad the same, I wonder
I do enjoy watching your videos,,we don't have the super old grave yards like you do, here in the states
Thanks Robert ❤️
Looks interesting!
Oh it is liz x
I watched this and forgot to ask. Could it be possible that he is sitting in his chair behind the brick wall by himself? Just a thought.
Good point Janet
Absolutely beautiful. You and GV were meant to find James.
I definitely believe so too, we are still researching James we have no more information on him as of yet, hopefully we will soon
Watched gv video the other day love the cross ... not all big stories ... many little stories make a book
So true William
Henry Herbert's grave may only have the 2 coffins in it which to me says its conspicuously empty for some reason possibly because there were or aren't any other relatives either living or that want to be interested there beautiful though in its own way did the couple not have children who wanted to be interested with their parents?I wonder
Couldn't find any more info
