Here is a THANKS for the tour. You guys explored a lot in IL. How long were you in my neck of the woods. My favorite part of your channel is both of your story telling. Learn something new every time I watch your channel.
Thank you so much! It means a lot to us. Hope you and the family have a memorable, fun weekend! 🙏💕
Drew and Bethany - you both are extremely good at what you do and I hope you continue to keep doing videos of the interesting places you come across. I really appreciate both of you and the content you provide is extremely enjoyable.
I agree 💯😊
8:59 and 9:00 BEST MATCH-UP I've seen of that photograph, at that spot! Top job, Drew!
The Story of the Vanishing Farmhouse is unusual, and worth investigating---there HAD to have been a homestead originally located at that site. Great tales! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why this channel doesn't have a MILLION subscribers, I cannot fathom. 🤔💭🏆You Both Will Get There, in the End! 🥳🥳
I'm a hardcore paranormal skeptic, but the one single thing that's always bothered me for most of my life is that house. I remember seeing it clearly 20 years ago, and thinking nothing of it. People later told me there's no house there, and then told me the stories. I went back months later and couldn't find any sign of it.
@@AudioEuphoria That is WILD--and seriously, bizarrely creepy. 😱😱
Drew and Bethany, I grew up in Midlothian and Bachelor's Grove Cemetary was part of my childhood history. We used to ice skate on the pond in winter and when we got drivers licenses we went there on Halloween night. This was before the fence was put up and many of the headstones were still standing. Things started getting out of hand in the mid-70s, that's when the headstones got vandalized and kids even dug up some of the graves. I recall Cook County Sheriff's Police arresting some kids at the cemetary when they found shovels in the trunk of their car. Heard all the ghost stories, I could tell you a few you missed, like "there's an old steam shovel at the bottom of the pond" and the one about the kids parking outside the gate and making out in their car when they suddenly heard scratches on the roof. The pond is actually a big mud puddle, it's about 6 feet deep at most - there's another video on YT where a guy wades across it. Doubt the mob ever dumped bodies there, too shallow. Never saw any ghosts, it was mostly a great place to drink beer and party. Thanks for the awesome video, the legend lives on!
I live in blues island first time I went there was with my group of friends like in 2018 and I felt really different when I enter 2 of my friends felt like that too but not the others,, story short we went more inside of then forest and no wind nothing a brg branch of a fallen tree just suddenly moved right next when I was passing my friends seen and we knee it was time to get out of there we also almost got lost beacuse it was getting dark good thing 2 people that where in the cemetery with lights helped us, we told them what happend they left with us that moment soo yeah something happens in this cemetery
@@ronaldoibarra101 Yeah, you def want to go there in a group, especially at night - weird place with a lot of strangeness going on. But still, back in the day it was a great place to hang out, drink beers, smoke weed, weren't enough cops to patrol it constantly. We never vandalized anything but it got worse and worse over the years until the Forest Preserve and the Sheriff's police finally came down hard and put an end to the night life out there. I never saw anything I'd say was unexplainable, but just being there could creep you out, we never stayed for too long.
Okay, so I went here in December 2021. I HAD read up on the lore prior to visiting, but as my friend and I were walking in, I was not thinking about it at all. As we approached the entrance gate to the cemetery, I totally did see a farm house in the same direction you pointed toward at 7:40. I didn't think anything of it and kept looking around. Then I remembered the lore about the house, and I couldn't see it anymore.
So either my subconscious created the vision of the house, or I actually did experience this phenomena.
Great video! I like your camerawork.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Your video productions are so very entertaining, Thanks!
This is so generous, Liam. Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks! Very informative and a little spooky.
Thank you so much, Tami! 💕
“Dramatization” and going monochrome made me seriously lol. You guys are awesome at what you do!
Good use of Hitchcokian dolly and zoom effect at the introduction. Keep up the good cine work, And thanks.
Super cool that someone else caught that! Good eye & good taste @ronaldbucchino1086 👏🏼 🎥
first thing I noticed, too! Great camera work, Drew!
*_As usual, you two delivered. So many interesting topics in one video, too. The 'Phantom House' is an interesting twist on the traditional ghostlore related to cemeteries. I noticed there were several graves at the base of tree stumps. That is a very old tradition in several parts of the world, generally meant as a memorial and a symbol of a person's life, to connect with ancestors and preserve family history. Well done, this is one of your best!_*
Thank you so much, our friend. It felt like there was still a lot of "unknown" to this location, but maybe it's best we didn't do too much unpacking, haha. Talk soon!
Thank you Drew & Bethany! The two of you do such a fantastic job. As always
Yeah, I live 10 minutes away from there and the only thing that's scarier about that place is getting caught by the cops and getting a ticket when you're not supposed to be in there. 😳
In the main cemetery in my home town of Pompton Plains (New Jersey), there are graves that date back to the early 1700s. In my early 20s I learned what was throughout my life an optometrist office our family used originally was the first legitimate dedicated schoolhouse in America...
😂
Came across your channel while scrolling glad I did your videos seem really amazing guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤
We visited Cooperstown over 20 years ago and we stayed at a house that was built in the late 1800’s and it sat on 40 acres and had two ponds, and let me tell you it was pitch black at night😬but we visited a old cemetery in lower Toddsville and there were some gravestones from the 1700’s and it was as creepy.
Great video. Thank you. You 2 stay safe too.
Wow! Super interesting! Thank you for taking us along!
The cemetery was really cleaned up! But so much vandalism was done over the years.
awww yeah!!! lets go McBeth!! awesome videos!
I have been there. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs close to the city and such. BGC is a place I will never go again. Props to you guys!
There is a lot of cool stuff in those woods. Foundations of the old houses and buildings old wells and a few really creepy spots. Very easy to find with simple directions.
At least its well maintained. Ive come across a few in the woods that havent been maintained in years.
Bethany flexing her acting skills 👏👏👏 lol thanks for another fantastic video!!!
Great stuff guys! You really set the mood with your narrative and creepy music. Nice! I kept wondering if we'd see just a mysterious, hooded, cloaked or period-outfitted, figure in the deep background just sort of slowly walking from behind one tree to another tree, and you guys wouldn't notice it or know about it... only the viewers would see it! SPOOKY! Maybe for Halloween? 🙂
Another great vid! Glad I watched until the end, those bubbles 😲
It doesn't get much better than haunted cemeteries! Another great video guys. I enjoyed it very much as always. 🙌😊
Missing you both my favorite oddity fam love your videos Happy Saturday Fam 👏🫶♥️🪦
Happy Saturday, Andy-Fam! 😊
Been there multiple times last time I went I camped nearby and my friends and I snuck in in the middle of night . There’s was candles lit ! While it was raining . It was wild . Really awesome place .
At night it’s more active . You can’t go through the entrance but by the sides .
You guys should come to Germany. My local cemetery has graves from the early 1200s. I won't walk anywhere near it after dark.
Went there on Halloween in the late 70's. The cemetery was overgrown with lots of trees around the graves. Many of the stones where already damaged and some graves were sunken in. With it being Halloween there was a lot of drunken teenagers acting stupid. When we went back the next year on Halloween the police had it locked down.
Drew & Bethany what an interesting creepy adventure!!! Thank you ✌🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Glad you enjoyed, Jesse! 🙌💕
Great video guys, what an interesting cemetery - well B and D - love your vid’s.
Great job on this visit, love the production work. Always interesting to see old cemeteries as they indicate lives lived in an area, each with their own story. A shame it was vandalized, never understood why people vandalize cemeteries, so disrespectful. Really enjoying your Illinois adventures and love the I ❤IL tee shirt 😊.
Hey there, happy Saturday! I like the opening dolly zoom effect...a nice little Hitchcockian touch. When you go off-trail in the beginning I picked up on the creepy feeling-- a distinct X-Files vibe going on there. As far as the "Madonna" photo goes, well...to me it looks a lot like the many fake long/double-exposure "ghost" photos from that era.
By the way, a question for Bethany...how may different "I ❤ xx" shirts have you collected over the years? 🙂 See ya next time!
The cemetery looks to be in pretty good condition now that the county is providing some maintenance. I've seen it about 30 to 40 years ago and it was getting a lot of suss visitors. Some of the graves were partially dug up. Pretty creepy stuff. The Fulton headstone is definitely one of the most pretty headstones around.
There are other smaller cemeteries in the woods in the nearby area, but they don't appear to get the attention that Bachelor Grove draws.
Not sure I agree that is a quarry pond. There are plenty other quarry ponds in the area, but they don't look like that one.
Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed your visit to Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Bethany and Drew. 👍❤ I'll never understand why cemeteries all over the USA are targeted by vandals.
You always come up with such interesting stuff.
Another great video of a hidden mystery. Well done. Hope Bethany wasn't haunted by sitting on the headstone. Just imagine if they drained the water, what all might be found. Have a safe May and May the Fourth be with you both.
Nice! Love your stuff
Dude you guys crack me up too!
Wow! It’s open now? It was closed for years, we had to sneak in.
About 10 yrs ago it was all over grown and it was really creepy.
I went there several times when I lived on the South Side of Chicago. Definitely spooky, but I saw no ghosts.
Good episode! I like the vanishing house. That is really weird. :)
Watching Now! Wow I See The Madonna!
8:26 *The adventurous couple head to CVS to get their photo enlarged*
CVS clerk: "Hey now, that's a pretty little lady you got in that picture there. She a relative of yours?"
*They both exchanged a quick glance and then back to the clerk...but the clerk was gone.*
I've been to Bachelors Grove numerous times. I've seen the orbs, but for me they only really show up in photos when I use a flash. I did get a photo of a ghostly smoky type mist in the form resembling woman. My buddy has that photo. I'll ask him if he still has it. Years ago we did find what looked like a Satanic alter of some sort as well as a freshly dug up grave. Was definately creepy.
As far as the lagoon goes, I've heard similar stories about mobsters dumping bodies. Last summer we went magnet fishing to try to recover anything from the lagoon. Unfortunately we had no luck.
If you are ever back east I would like you 2 to explore the Abandoned PA Turnpike and its 2 tunnels. Other people have done it, but I like to hear what you and Drew say about it. There is also a middle section few people look at that has a basketball hoop in the middle of nowhere in PA so look at that. While you are at it, get off at the Breezewood exit and talk about how the off ramp is part of original pike, how the bypass is handled.
This would be a great Halloween episode. Great job guys. May the 4 be with you.
That pond is intriguing! It definitely needs to be drained.
Yes! That water definitely holds some secrets!
Do more haunted places pleaseeeeeeee!!!
Also do old hotels around the US!
you need to go to Stull Kansas Cemetary that is supposed to be the most haunted in the US
I got at night all the time! I’m actually going tonight!
Greetings Bethany, Drew, and wonderful Oddity Odysseys family! Thank you to bringing us with you to the Bachelor's Grove Cemetery! Hope everyone will have a wonderful weekend and life, take care, stay healthy, and enjoy your life!
Have a great weekend, Keith 😊💕
@@OddityOdysseys starting my weekend with an video from you two is a wonderful way to start! 👍😄
What I think is I need to visit this place. 😊
@6:28 I ❤the I ❤IL T-shirt‼
I was taking random pictures at bachlors Grove years ago a couple of days go by i forgot i took pictures and when i realized 8 took pictures it was a image of a house in the cemetery and two people standing they were dress like in the late 18hundreds very creepy
There are Irish folkstories and tales very similar in nature to the vanishing farmhouse. Fae folk and fairy tales, plus goblins and leprechauns.
Do some research, quite interesting. And you said some of the immigrants were Irish.
You should do a video on the Forbidden LA Pedestrian Tunnels
We explored a couple several years back, but would love to do more! Are these the ones you're mentioning? : ua-cam.com/video/JQGnyxNMXYg/v-deo.html
Awesome and these are the ones I'm talking about these ones ua-cam.com/video/pCOhIKto1VQ/v-deo.htmlsi=I_H8axlyUtT2WQZ2
Someone should do magnet fishing in that pond.
The bird is a blue jay
is it crazy that i live down the street from this place
Went there by myself when it was pitch black with just a flashlight. Walked around and checked out all the graves for about 20 mins didn’t see anything out of the ordinary
I grew up in midlothian and one night me and my girlfriend went at night and heard a womans voice yell out yoo hoo twice but saw nothing with our phone lights
The quarry wasn't filled with water when mobsters could've driven up to it. Urban legends.
Not unlike Granite Maryland , the site of the house from the finally of Blair Witch Project and Nike Missile Site BA-79.
Did you move to Illinois?
Just a little cemetery etiquette that I was taught.
Don't sit on the head stones.
Don't stand directly in front of head stones. I.E. on top of the person buried there.
Great video guys! Loved it and subscribed.
Guh`Morning O.O.
Mornin', our friend.
Anyone else notice the blue thing in the trees at the 10:00 mark?
I think that’s like clothing or something like that. It’s been there for awhile
Bachelor Grove Cemetery is haunted. I’ve been there you have to go in there when there’s a full moon at night are you not gonna find anything but you’ll see some real things happening that cemetery lights up but you gotta go there when there’s a full moon at night
That is why the cemetery is there because the people getting killed crossing road
It was a place where the mafia would dispose of bodies.
They get around, don't they
👍🏿
👍🏿😁👍🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸🇵🇭
Drew you cut your hair!!!!
Your really creepy bird is just a blue jay.
German Ghosts are superior Ghost.. I'm not just saying that because I'm German.
Sorry to tell you, but the 1800's is not an 'old cemetery' in the US. In the east we have them going back to the 1600's.
I've seen a vanishing democratic country. Sometimes, a ghost of what America used to be, will appear, but it very quickly vanishes. RIP America.
We used to ride our bikes there when I was kid.
