I’ll never understand the desire to vandalize the dead. The health risks alone should dissuade people from doing this. Not to mention having no respect for the families
@@shirleyn546 I just read something in my local newspaper about a grave of a baby that was vandalized. Someone came and took some of the items the family put there. What are people thinking when they do this stuff? My heart breaks for that family😢
I live in America and when graves are vandalized here it's almost always kids that do it. I think it's a horrible thing to do and it makes me so angry! Leave the dead alone and let them rest in peace!
I don't know if you'd like to read my thoughts on this - it's quite long, but some people may find this very interesting - and very shocking. Particularly if you are not a traveller to most third-wold countries. Either way, please feel free to read on, or scroll by as you wish. In our culture, parents should teach their children about respect in general ... but what I refer to as "permissive parenting" has become de rigeur. I wonder if anyone has ever explained that no one likes their kids? Clearly not. But please don't misunderstand my meaning - I've always said that there is no grey area between discipline and child abuse - and anyone with a brain really should know the difference. But personally, I would be so far beyond utterly ashamed to find out that a child of mind has ever done something as disrespectful as to desecrate someone's final resting place!! And this is the same in every culture. That said, I have to mention culture as to HOW we perceive all facets of life, and death - especially in death, given the subject matter. I have witnessed hundreds of grave evictions in the Philippines when I used to live there. I would take boxes of fruit and non-perishables twice a week to the children of families who live in the city cemeteries of Manila, where poverty and homelessness have driven them to live... Some families have made their homes in these cemeteries for decades - often after moving to the largest cities from the Provinces in search of jobs that don't exist - they leave their traditional homes in Provincial villages to find a better life for themselves and their children. But once they arrive in the cities there is often nowhere else to go, and very little employment - so they make their homes in Manila's dozens of huge cemeteries. Those who can find a family plot with a roof over their heads will literally live on top of the graves that have been built with shelters over the top and most of these will have :walls around them made of lacy wrought iron or aluminium, and most often these plots will even have a lockable gate. They will tap into the power supply illegally to run a light or lamp and electrical appliances - even utilising little bar-fridges if they can possibly afford it. The graves themselves serve as tables and benches during the day, and as platforms for their beds at night - but there is no disrespect here .. I'm afraid that the necessities of abject poverty and over-crowding dictates their way of life, and death, and the cemeteries provide a favourable alternative to literally living under a cardboard box on busy city sidewalks and narrow streets. There were around 1000 inhabitants living in one small Catholic cemetery that I used to take the boxes of food to - many of these being young children who would wait for me at the gate to see what I would bring for them. The level of abject poverty in the cities is astounding and very shocking to any Westerner of every background to begin with .. It really has to be seen to be believed!! It's one of those situations where just when you think you have seen everything - you realised that you absolutely have not! At first I nearly fell over when I learned that, as a result of over-population in major cities like Manila with something like 23 million, that unless one can afford to purchase or rent a family plot, then the terms for interments in cemeteries are only for 5 years, and thereafter the families must pay yearly fees for their loved ones to remain interred in the tombs, which are formed of row upon row of concrete "outdoor mausoleums" which are stacked up to ten tombs high and can be half a kilometre long, depending on the particular cemetery. One of the largest city cemeteries I used to go to covers 54 hectares - or about 21 acres - with around 1.4 million interments and burials, and an estimated 10,000 living inhabitants. Interments in the city cemeteries are so limited that on the 5th anniversary from the date of the interment, if the family cannot afford the fees to keep their loved one buried or interred for the next year - then the remains are literally evicted from the tomb. Unfortunately, many families simply cannot afford these fees. As one parent of a two-year old girl who had passed away unexpectedly, they explained to me that their living children must be their priority, so that what money they earned was needed to put food on the tables of the living - and I understood that this has to be accepted. The occupant's tombs are smashed open, whereupon the coffins are broken up while the human remains are removed and placed in whatever kind of bag that the cemetery workers may have to hand. It is traditional for the families to arrive at the cemetery in person to collect the remains on the day of the anniversary - and many families opt to very respectfully collect the remains from the tombs themselves, which are then taken home with them where they will boil the remains from the bones and scrape them until they are cleaned, and then these are kept in an elaborately-carved wooden "bone box" for safe-keeping. I've seen these lovely boxes of bones stacked at the foot of private family alters which many Filipinos have inside their own homes, being devoutly Catholic. But if the family does not arrive prior to or on the day the 5th anniversary of the interment, then the remains are evicted - which literally entails jamming them into the bag by the cemetery workers - who also clean out the tomb and prepare it to receive a new occupant, usually by the end of the same day. A new name-plaque will be set in place of the old one to seal up the entrance. The evicted remains inside the bag are then taken to the ossuary, which is a massive communal pile of bones that is usually located at the very rear of the cemetery, where it will bleach in the tropical sun for all eternity. I've often seen the cemetery children even playing on the ossuary - which is of grave health-concerns, as these remains are only 5 years old when evicted ... so much of the flesh is still on the bones, and I noticed that some bodies that have been evicted from the uppermost rows tend to dry out, and are sometimes still almost recognisable as they can become mummified under certain conditions. I know how this must sound very shocking, as I was incredulous when I first witnessed a grave eviction - until the whole process was explained to me. In this culture of massive over-population and abject poverty, necessity dictates that it be done this way. It is not being disrespectful - in fact, the Philippines is a devout Catholic country, and the whole nation both celebrates ALL SOULS WEEKEND every year - a 3 day festival of visiting their ancestors at the cemeteries. For 3 days straight the whole country practically shuts down, as everyone heads to the cemeteries to honour their deceased ancestors. But for the rest of the year the constant daily grave evictions are a way of life for those poverty-stricken families who have lost a loved one in the past 5 years. I've heard that this is also the way of things in Nicaragua and some other Central American countries - but the initial interments there, which are also contained within very similar concrete "outdoor mausoleums", are only agreed upon for FOUR YEARS!! However, in Nicaragua if the fees aren't paid, the remains are not collected by the families, then the evicted remains are likely to end up being put out for the trash-collectors, rather than going to an ossuary! A Greek friend of mine explained that in many parts of Greece the burials are usually only agreed to be "paid for" for a a period of 15 years, and thereafter the bodies are disinterred and are send to a charnel house for cremation. Again, this is out of necessity in many parts of that country in order to make room for new burials. I just wanted to point out that what we consider "respect of the dead" in our culture is not, and sometimes cannot, be applied to other cultures .. What they consider to be perfectly normal would shock most of us But even in the stark contrast between what we consider to be respect, and theirs - they would no more deliberately disrupt the peace of the deceased by acts of vandalism - no more than we would! Clearly, the acts of desecration we see evidence of in this video is not acceptable in any country or culture!!
If it was the spirits of the departed making those sounds, my guess is they were thanking you for your concern and kind words. Much love to you both! 💚💚
I was thinking when I saw the random skull on the lead coffin... It doesn't matter how elaborate your funeral is or how intricate your mausoleum might be... We are all gonna end up in the dirt one day. Great video.❤
@@GraveVisitations I just found your channel a few days ago and really enjoy the we have a small local grave yard 6 mins from us it's only small but well looked after
I heard those knocking noises GV. Gorgeous graveyard and surroundings. That is so sad someone did that to that family crypt. Another great video GV. Thanks to you and Sue for bringing this to us!
Sounded like someone was knocking on the glass around the knight. Then maybe a squeaky metal door or gate? Would be really interesting if someone did a spirit box session there. As always stay safe and most of all stay healthy!
Very interesting church ruins and graveyard. The Knight's effigy was particularly interesting. I heard the noise as well. Terrible about that crypt being vandalized. Great walking tour, thank you very much GV and Sue. Have a great weekend. 😊
Hi GV and Sue , what a beautiful and peaceful setting. A lovely church.The knight is splendid,it is nice to see he has been protected. Absolutely amazing gravestones and memorials.Those disrespectful pieces of garbage that smashed up those coffins are revolting, disgusting people. I am happy to see that they never smashed up anything else.I heard those noises too.Thanks for another historical explore.❤❤
I was going through this one, thinking how great the church was and the knight so perfectly preserved with his shield and family crest and everything so neat and perfect. Loved the old millstone used as a headstone too. We get to the Powers plots and those look well taken care of. Then we find a destroyed crypt that just crushes me. I finally want to say what I have been thinking for a long time. What I don't get is if these are lead coffins and these people (teenagers or others) handle the lead with their bare hands, they risk lead poisoning absorbed through the skin, to the blood stream and then to the bones. The half-life of lead in bones is about 30 years. Depending how long they handle and destroy these coffins they could have substantial lead poisoning. They must have no clue. I am a geologist by training and I really have to wonder what these people are thinking. If nothing else they could be putting themselves and others at risk. Shame on 'em! ♥️ 🇮🇪 ☘️
I recently came across your YT channel and am just loving it! I appreciate what you’re doing and it’s just so interesting. Thank you for sharing! I’m American with Irish ancestry.
A beautiful stone by stone wall...how I love them❤gorgeous old church and the knight from hundreds of years ago. Beautiful cemetery kept well. Thanx for another lovely video. I love to watch you and Sue at night before bed. It is perfect for the end of the day. Love you guys❤😊
Thank you so much that was amazing I heard those banging noises very weird! such a shame the dead were disturbed and violated like that!. There are some sick people out there. 👏👏💕💕
What another great video. I must say the detailed in that glass enclosed effigy was unbelievable but it was crazy when that sound went off on your video. I was crackling some popcorn so that's crazy. Have a good one. Glad to see you both
Beautiful well kept church and grave yard. Great EVP captures and I also saw a few orbs in the crypt that seemed to have direction. Fantastic. Thank you so much. Loved it cheers 👍Teresa xx 🇦🇺❤
Another lovely walk. Thanks for sharing! So cool that you picked up those strange sounds, Whoever is there just wanted to make themselves known. It's so disturbing to see these crypts vandalized and a family's final resting place torn apart. Karma will surely catch up with anyone that desecrates a grave.
Lovely grave yard I heard that 2 knocks that's shocking too see that with them coffin's I don't understand people who would do such a thing like that it's so sad take care GV and sue thanks for sharing 👍
G'day GV & Sue, Once again awesome video although such a shame about the vandalism, the perpetrators involved really did a number on this mausoleum and I'm not surprised to hear the consequences of the aftermath by those interred within, the act itself must have been intense & horrendous with the entities reaching out even now by attempting to say "No more", sounded like keep away or don't come to close as a gentle or perhaps not so gentle warning, your calm and ever present respect kept you both in good stead, a cool head and we're outa here was the best way to react in a situation as this, very well done, Blessings to both of You & as always👍👍Shane💜💜💜
That Knight sure had a fine pair of legs!! If he were alive today, he would have been a model!!🤺❤🤣 What a FASCINATING, but VERY creepy graveyard!! I wouldn't want to go there alone, especially at night!! You and Sue are much braver than I am!!👻😮 BRILLIANT video, as always, GV!! XXXX ❤👍💞💕👏🤗
This is an amazing and beautiful cemetery. The IV on the military stone is the Latin number 4. So maybe Fourth infantry, or something along those lines. I too can't believe how people can be so deliberately disrespectful. Even the fact that people say that the dead don't care. Maybe not, but their family who put them there and thought their loved ones would be at peace for eternity certainly did. It's sad. Thank you for showing us this beautiful cemetery.
👏👏 you constantly educate me about my own country. It's a pity not more monuments are protected by glass around the country. What co.is this ? Just to add, are they whiskey Powers perhaps ?????
IV is 4th in Roman numerals 😊 really enjoy your channel and and your respect and gentle way you speak of the dead is so touching. I love your accents most of all ❤... best wishes from Australia x
Great video GV. and a beautiful place. Some people never cease to disappoint and shock me with their despicable disrespect of others, living or dead.😢 Shame on them.
I loved this one. So much to see here. Beautiful! Bones are interesting but don’t scare me. Knocks and noises could be anything. You guys pick some great places to go. I love to watch because you talk about who some of these people were and what they did.
Queen Victoria died in 1901, and Edward the 7th became king. Both soldiers died in the Anglo Boer war 1899-1901. Many died of illness there and its where, The first concentration camps where developed another shame on us brits.
20:34 an orb just flew above the coffin in middle of camera to the left , from above to lower left , and spirit maybe cranky due to the vandilism previously, another orb at 20:42 from top to bottom of camera centre
Hey guys! Great video! The sounds are cool! As I am not wearing headphones while watching, so I miss them with my bad hearing. It would be cool to investigate your locations with a few spare audio recorders left in those areas where you hear such noises! Those lead coffins were originally inside a wood coffin to protect the lead sheeting. But the problem with those coffins is, when the wood decays and falls away, the only thing left is a thin lead shell that collapses in on itself, and can then fall off the shelf it was sitting on, which will cause even more damage to it. So even though it looks like there was vandalism to the crypt contents, it is actually quite possible the majority of the damage was part of the natural process of decay. But when the lead sheeting looks to be torn from one end to another, then I would suspect vandals, who opened the coffins to look for valuables. The reason I say that about the coffins is, they normally are soft enough to survive a fall without splitting open, and I am only seeing rips in the sheeting of a couple of the lead coffins and the others are still intact, but collapsed.
I love going around graveyards and reading the headstones, it's so peaceful and also interesting.Thank you for taking me places where I'm not able to visit. 😊 What was the noise was it someone trying to get out 😮. Xx
loved this one. The knight is the glass box was so AMAZING! You do such a great tour; I feel like I'm right there with you. keep up the great work you do, I'm in the USA and I would never get to see these wonderful cemeteries. Thanks
I went to the cemetery to visit my parent’s grave today. I had just been to place flowers last weekend. My flowers were gone. I called the office and the woman who answered said that they were probably stolen. This made me so sad. What kind of person would steal from a grave? I would never do such a thing. Just wish people would leave graves and cemeteries alone. It’s so disrespectful to desecrate or steal from them.
I really enjoyed your tour of this lovely graveyard. I am so horrified by the desecration of that crypt. I wonder how the people who did this damage would feel if it happened to their own dead. The knocking was very eerie. Thank you for speaking these people’s names. Blessings to you.
I just started watching your videos and they are fascinating and so neat. My dream has always been to go to Ireland someday. Thank you for what you do and for showing me around ❤
I had commented to my Wife when you were reading a headstone and stopped after saying 1908, that you shouldn't disrespect, and then the knocking happened ❤
You guys put out some excellent videos I love how you explain things and the history is amazing and I don't understand why people would disrespect a crypt like that keep them coming God bless both of you
It's sad to see final resting places treated like that. I've often thought about having a mausoleum for me and my family, but wonder if in a hundred years something like that would happen due to either someone being bored or just plain disrespectful. Great video, and the sound made me jump. I had to rewind it, lol
I’m having a family crisis. I haven’t been keeping up with anyone’s videos. Sorry. I haven’t been sleeping. Fascinating knight under glass. God Bless you both💚💚
Hey GV and Sue Thanks heaps guys for this video Did you see any angels or devils at this old church and cemetery haha 😛 The knight looks good Glad he is protected by the glass box at least That crypt has been vandalised Thats a real shame But a very interesting find Hanging out for the next one Brendan 🇦🇺
That Knight is magnificent ❤ That is a fantastic wee graveyard very well kept pity about the vandalism that’s so disrespectful 😡 I mean those where some ones family why ?
Between 1661 and 1746, smallpox is believed to have been the cause of 20%of all deaths in Dublin City and a third of all children's deaths in the area. Beautiful tour of the cemetery. Thank you.

It's so disturbing to see these crypts vandalized and a family's final resting place torn apart. Karma will surely catch up with anyone that desecrates a grave.
Those knocking noises sounded like someone discharging firearms away off. My thanks to your awesome videos- from Canada.
Hope they didn't think I was trump
'thank you ' guys. It's so romantic trip. I love cimeteries . Old statues. and the peace arround all. !! 👍💀👁️💖 Greetings from France''🇨🇵
@@perseapolaris9015 check out my videos from Paris 😁👍
Lovely grave yard I heard that 2 knocks that's shocking too see that with them coffin's I don't understand people who would do such a thing like that it's so sad take care GV and sue thanks for sharing 👍
What a beautiful place, wow.❤
G'day GV & Sue, Once again awesome video although such a shame about the vandalism, the perpetrators involved really did a number on this mausoleum and I'm not surprised to hear the consequences of the aftermath by those interred within, the act itself must have been intense & horrendous with the entities reaching out even now by attempting to say "No more", sounded like keep away or don't come to close as a gentle or perhaps not so gentle warning, your calm and ever present respect kept you both in good stead, a cool head and we're outa here was the best way to react in a situation as this, very well done, Blessings to both of You & as always👍👍Shane💜💜💜
That Knight sure had a fine pair of legs!! If he were alive today, he would have been a model!!🤺❤🤣
What a FASCINATING, but VERY creepy graveyard!! I wouldn't want to go there alone, especially at night!! You and Sue are much braver than I am!!👻😮
BRILLIANT video, as always, GV!! XXXX ❤👍💞💕👏🤗
I didn't stay to long tho lol it felt strange this place
@@GraveVisitationsI can't blame you at all, Cathal!!😨😮
This is an amazing and beautiful cemetery. The IV on the military stone is the Latin number 4. So maybe Fourth infantry, or something along those lines. I too can't believe how people can be so deliberately disrespectful. Even the fact that people say that the dead don't care. Maybe not, but their family who put them there and thought their loved ones would be at peace for eternity certainly did. It's sad. Thank you for showing us this beautiful cemetery.
👏👏
you constantly educate me about my own country. It's a pity not more monuments are protected by glass around the country.
What co.is this ?
Just to add, are they whiskey Powers perhaps ?????
I wouldn't think so pat
IV is 4th in Roman numerals 😊 really enjoy your channel and and your respect and gentle way you speak of the dead is so touching. I love your accents most of all ❤... best wishes from Australia x
Very spooky. I really enjoy your videos. For me it's like a time machine with beautiful churches and. Graveyards.
The grounds are very well kept. So nice to see that in an older cemetery.
What a stunning old church & graveyard. So well kept.
Such a lovely cemetery thank you for sharing.
You guys are so brave!!! Love the scary stuff!!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. God bless. 😇❤
Beautiful graveyard. Thanks for showing us around.
I really appreciate your time doing this and taking us through a bit of history.
Wow. I heard that knock too. And that sounded like it was from exactly what you guys thought it was from.
Every episode is fascinating. You are very brave and very good to pursue this and to take on the additional effort of sharing it.
Glad you are enjoying the videos 👍
What a beautiful country you live in. I'd give anything to see Ireland
Another wonde3rful video, thank you so much guys. And yes, very weird bumps and knocks!
Another stellar video of a beautiful cemetery and the knocking.
Great video GV. and a beautiful place.
Some people never cease to disappoint and shock me with their despicable disrespect of others, living or dead.😢 Shame on them.
Thanks for another top number GV,safe travels ,take care both of you,god bless,🙏🙏👋👋👏👍🇦🇺
Great video, GV, thanks!
The effigy is amazing! Loved the video!
I loved this one. So much to see here. Beautiful!
Bones are interesting but don’t scare me. Knocks and noises could be anything.
You guys pick some great places to go. I love to watch because you talk about who some of these people were and what they did.
So sad to see such desecration,no excuse for such acts hopefully no one can access it now,god bless them may they R.I.P🙏🙏🙏
Enjoyed the video, the cemetery was so beautiful. Take care mate
Queen Victoria died in 1901, and Edward the 7th became king. Both soldiers died in the Anglo Boer war 1899-1901. Many died of illness there and its where, The first concentration camps where developed another shame on us brits.
Ah ye not that bad lol history can't be changed unfortunately we can only learn in the present
So very true best live in the present , love your videos and your soothing commentary @@GraveVisitations
20:34 an orb just flew above the coffin in middle of camera to the left , from above to lower left , and spirit maybe cranky due to the vandilism previously, another orb at 20:42 from top to bottom of camera centre
Lovely place and video!❤️ Thank you! You guys Really need to brush up on your Roman Numerals 😊! IVth is the 4th Baronet!
Hey guys! Great video! The sounds are cool! As I am not wearing headphones while watching, so I miss them with my bad hearing.
It would be cool to investigate your locations with a few spare audio recorders left in those areas where you hear such noises!
Those lead coffins were originally inside a wood coffin to protect the lead sheeting. But the problem with those coffins is, when the wood decays and falls away, the only thing left is a thin lead shell that collapses in on itself, and can then fall off the shelf it was sitting on, which will cause even more damage to it.
So even though it looks like there was vandalism to the crypt contents, it is actually quite possible the majority of the damage was part of the natural process of decay.
But when the lead sheeting looks to be torn from one end to another, then I would suspect vandals, who opened the coffins to look for valuables. The reason I say that about the coffins is, they normally are soft enough to survive a fall without splitting open, and I am only seeing rips in the sheeting of a couple of the lead coffins and the others are still intact, but collapsed.
It was definitely vandalism because it was on a newspaper article
Fantastic content again 👏 👌 👍
Beautiful Thank you for the Adventure 🌈☀️
I love going around graveyards and reading the headstones, it's so peaceful and also interesting.Thank you for taking me places where I'm not able to visit. 😊 What was the noise was it someone trying to get out 😮. Xx
loved this one. The knight is the glass box was so AMAZING! You do such a great tour; I feel like I'm right there with you. keep up the great work you do, I'm in the USA and I would never get to see these wonderful cemeteries. Thanks
Beautiful graveyard and church..The spirits trying to let you know they could see you in that Mausoleum 👻 Great video GV ❤
I went to the cemetery to visit my parent’s grave today. I had just been to place flowers last weekend. My flowers were gone. I called the office and the woman who answered said that they were probably stolen. This made me so sad. What kind of person would steal from a grave? I would never do such a thing. Just wish people would leave graves and cemeteries alone. It’s so disrespectful to desecrate or steal from them.
I'm sorry to hear about this, that is terrible. I really don't understand people like this
I have truly enjoyed watching two of your videos; please keep them coming ... thank you so very much Lorraine xx
Glad you like them!
Watching from PA in theUSA. I would love to visit your country.
The history!!! So glad they are protecting the knight! ( you have better legs than he had💕☺️) What are the knocking sounds???😮
I really enjoyed your tour of this lovely graveyard. I am so horrified by the desecration of that crypt. I wonder how the people who did this damage would feel if it happened to their own dead. The knocking was very eerie. Thank you for speaking these people’s names. Blessings to you.
So nice to see a well kept cemetery. So respectful. Some awful people around desicrating graves.
I just started watching your videos and they are fascinating and so neat. My dream has always been to go to Ireland someday. Thank you for what you do and for showing me around ❤
Thanks for watching Melissa
@@GraveVisitations
You are most welcome and thank you! 😊
Its nice to see their picture if you can. And that rifle is interesting. And such older stones and some newer ones.
That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing this piece of history. ✝️🙏💖💕
spooky vid GV thanks.
Super video GV!
I had commented to my Wife when you were reading a headstone and stopped after saying 1908, that you shouldn't disrespect, and then the knocking happened ❤
And by all means it doesn't say that you are not doing a fantastic job, its about respect to the deceased. I think he felt dissed.❤️
You guys put out some excellent videos I love how you explain things and the history is amazing and I don't understand why people would disrespect a crypt like that keep them coming God bless both of you
Thank you very much!
@@GraveVisitations your very welcome you guys are great
It's sad to see final resting places treated like that. I've often thought about having a mausoleum for me and my family, but wonder if in a hundred years something like that would happen due to either someone being bored or just plain disrespectful.
Great video, and the sound made me jump. I had to rewind it, lol
I’m having a family crisis. I haven’t been keeping up with anyone’s videos. Sorry.
I haven’t been sleeping.
Fascinating knight under glass. God Bless you both💚💚
I really hope things get better for you soon ❤️🙏
@@GraveVisitations Thank you, GV that means a lot.
Hey GV and Sue
Thanks heaps guys for this video
Did you see any angels or devils at this old church and cemetery haha 😛
The knight looks good
Glad he is protected by the glass box at least
That crypt has been vandalised
Thats a real shame
But a very interesting find
Hanging out for the next one
Brendan 🇦🇺
Beautiful and so peaceful..😊
I agree 👍 💯 with Sue someone wanted old jewelry. And I heard the knocking. God was watching 👀.
That Knight is magnificent ❤ That is a fantastic wee graveyard very well kept pity about the vandalism that’s so disrespectful 😡 I mean those where some ones family why ?
It's terrible people have to that they wouldn't like it done to their family graves
So beautiful and it's very sad these kids nowadays don't have respect for anything or anyone
Very interesting place and so well preserved. 🐨💗
Between 1661 and 1746, smallpox is believed to have been the cause of 20%of all deaths in Dublin City and a third of all children's deaths in the area. Beautiful tour of the cemetery. Thank you.
