The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

I would be scared but Ron has no fear !
Cue the "Scooby Doo" music and my "Velma" inspired costume along with my dog in tow. I'll race you back TO the car but NOT further into the cemetery.
Ron, I think you missed your life calling until now. You are a showman at heart and I love it all. I hope you have grandkids. They will never forget your stories....;-D
I don't think any of us will ever forget his stories either!! We are so blessed to have found his channel and be a part of his "Gang"!
When I visit a cemetery, I always say a prayer of protection for myself and a prayer for all that are buried there that they may all rest in peace and God's perpetual light shine upon them. Only then, I will proceed in walking around and upon leaving, I tell them not to follow me home. I learned this from someone and I think it's a good practice.
Good idea…no followers
I've read that in many psychic books. Psychic mediums which I've read Alot of after the passing of my Mom., 20 years ago 💔 Than some after my Father passed
15 years ago I lost my husband of 50 years 💔💔 he passed at home. But Afterlife has always intrigued me. My Mom and my Husband have passed here at my home knowing they were Loved. My Dad at their home, but I had decided to stay there for 1 week, he passed in his sleep 🙏💔
Same goes for hospitals and funeral homes...
Same here!
Great idea..I will do this from now on.
This is giving me Boris Karloff and Vincent Price eerie vibes. I need to get a blanket and some hot cocoa. I am glad that I have my big dog resting nearby.
Cujo comes to mind. Haha just kidding.
@@pegs1659 LOL! You have wicked sense of humor.
Yes, it's quite creepy, one can almost hear the mannerly and foreboding voice of Vincent Price saying ' the hounds are quite restless tonight '..... 🎃🍂🍁
I was once acquainted with a woman who lived on Hawthorn Lane. One cold, dark, damp Northwest evening, I had to drive down that street and I thought that I caught a glimpse of a man who looked like a character or an actual person who was from the 19th century. It was a very eerie scene.
@@dianne8340 I would have freaked out and froze
Hi Ron, the woman whose grave you stopped at with a figure of a woman in what is possibly a door way etched at the top of her grave is Hannah R. Law Wicker
Sept 11 1820
Feb 9 1887
She was 57 when she passed away.
She was born in Madison County Ohio
And passed in coles County Illinois
She was the 1st wife of Nathaniel Wicker married March 29 1851
She had 6 children
The bridge reminded me of " Ode to Billy Joe", more so, than " Stand By Me". But both are similar to the look of that place. Kinda creepy, huh?
🤗
I believe the window behind her is just a reflection of some sort of structure. But that is a neat photo. I'm with you on leaving the headstones alone and no scrubbing or rubbing.
Well we know that the reflection is a natural phenomenon, but it’s fun to believe it might be a ghost.
And yes for sure, that was bad what they did to the stone. Thanks for chiming in on that Rhetty! 👍
Very cool monument. Date was certainly weird though. If she really dies of pneumonia, why did people start believing she was a witch that was hung? May she rest in peace along with her family.
I’d like to know that too!!!
I'm
I'm thinking perhaps it was meant to be a 13. Some how the stone mason made a mistake, since there were no family members to point out the mistake, no one was there to complain.
Maybe she had visions, a psychic, who knows. But back in that time, you were called a witch for having such "gifts".
Small town kids make up weird things out of boredom. After a few generations, nobody knows the difference or how it got started.
Did anyone else notice when Ron was walking on that bridge that there were no sounds at all. (birds or any wildlife😳)
Yes..it was creepy,smh.
Yup. There is a bridge like that over cibolo Creek down near LaVernia ,Tx south of me. Several old bridges like this around here. Some are blocked off because they are not safe to drive over.
Yes ! And spookily appropriate for October...Lol.
Yes but that is not so strange, because birds and other kind of animals sences very strong, if evilty has happen. Any activity what so ever, are committed by demons, because the people who were evil in life, dont come back, but demons are fully aware who they were and what they did in life.
Many deathcamps from the WW2, even they are placed in areas with forests and beautifyl nature, dont have any birds, there are nothing but silence, death and evil has ruined the sound of nature....
Many graves we are watching where criminals escape punisment in life, will face it in their afterlife, no evil go unpunished......
It was definitely so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I was very nervous.👍🌹
Thomas Small creeped me out more than the cemetery. Imagine waking in the middle of the night with him standing over you! That bridge was only for vehicles,maybe 5 tons max. Pretty cool setting for a cemetery though.
Love a good spooky graveyard story involving witches and a creepy Halloween feel. 🥶🧙
Looks like the bridge in Ode to Billy Joe.
🎵It was the third of june another sleepy dusty delta day , i was out chopping cotton and my brother was bailing hay , 🎶
Right? I thought the same thing. Now i'll have to look that up and listen, lol.
Love your work I find your voice soothing and really enjoy learning about people who are no longer with us. Thank you 😊
Now i have to listen to the song .lol rebecca
That is TOTALLY what that bridge reminds me of too. Except, yeah, now I need to hear the song 🎵😅 .
I'm seriously sitting and staring at my laptop waiting for this. I love watching your channel.
People in the early years were very superstitious. It's so easy to build a story of someone's family when there's no one left to correct it. Whether she was a witch or not i pray everyone there is resting in peace. Thank you for a very interesting story.
Since Ron's not here today I'll say it (And We Are In! 😂😁🎉🥳) I know I'm late! Love when Ron says that! Have a Good Week Everyone 🕊️PS. I love the old picture at the end! Thx,Ron.🎃
I love a good story teller!
Just love country roads like the one going to the cemetery 💗. Man I'd be freaked out by the children of the corn scenerio 😱
That bridge gives me the creeps, how can you walk on it Ron? You’re a brave man. What an awesome headstone. Beautiful but scary cemetery. Thanks Ron for all you do 😱
Those bridges are just that, old bridges that horse and buggies once crossed, then later Model A's. As the traffic progressed, the bridge could no longer handle it, & it was closed down.
There is a bridge about 15 miles from me that is almost identical, but the wooden beams had tar pavement laid on top. It is a steel bridge so when anyone walks across it, it makes a strange vibration noise. It's not creepy during the day, but in the dark it can be a bit daunting with that vibrating noise...
A bridge with a sign saying "Road Closed" and our Ron going on it anyway!! I would have a safety concern! You are very brave and that's 1 of the reasons your episodes are epic!!
The boards look in good solid condition. My guess is that they are not wanting people driving on it (any type vehicle) and if they don't close it off, kids will drive off road vehicles, ATVs, or trucks across it and it might not support that weight.
Road closed to motor vehicle traffic. A human walking on the bridge is no bid deal.
You sound like my father telling stories that would scare the grandkids to death about "Hatchet Harry " who was buried in the old cemetery. Of course he told the story just before the kids went to bed in the motor home! Dad waited about an hour, returned to the motor home scratching the door and making wild noises. He loved it more than his grandkids....silly kids. Dad is 93 and can't tell stories anymore but Laughs like a kid when the grandkids reminiscent about the old stories .
Keep doing a great job...it is a artist in progress!
😆 what a great grandad!
You're dad sounds like an awesome dad I too had a mom and dad who told us stories
@aprilforrett7081 And I hope Big stories! Hahaha
What a shame they did that to the Barnes headstone..Have people ever heard the pharse "look but don't touch.." Whoever did that scraping I hope that woman comes back and haunts them, they ruined that headstone 😟
My Mom would tell me, look with your eyes, not with your hands.
That was when I was little. Coz kids will drop and break stuff.
The bridge you are on is actually the stone quarry bridge. Airtight is further up the river and is still open to drive across.
Your phenomenal videos never cease to amaze. Scary bridges.. guard dogs. The bridge doesn't look strong enuff for trains. You are a very brave guy. Stay safe.💜💜😳😳💜💜
Yet another interesting story with research added liked a lot.
When the air is stifled with a sense of a heavy feeling in a location,its best not to hang around, negative energy alert! Taking pictures in succession or panning might catch something that cant be explained.
When the air is stifled with a sense of a heavy feeling in a location, its best to hang around and wait for dark and relish in the positive energy. I fixed it for you!.......
That's a really interesting story, and a very unique grave marker.
Yes I agree,
It looks like a crystal ball, usually associated with witchcraft.
Ugh! That poor family to have their grave disrespected because of a made up story. We have one here as well…ironically, her grave is marked with a sphere on a base as well. Thank you for the stories. May they all Rest In Peace.
If it was open on top it would look like a cauldron sitting on top of fire logs!
I love exploring old cemeterys like that
You are onto something guessing who Caroline is. She is standing alone. The others are touching one another.🤔
The Spherical Stone Reminds Me of a Crystal Ball.🔮
I love these videos. I'm so seriously addicted. I love history and good stories. Thank you for for doing this.
Thanks Sir, for your
Research , so We Can
Learn of these interesting
Stories ...👀
My only peace as a kid in the late 70's early 80's was when I spent so much time walking the RR tracks and Stand By Me was a huge part of what shaped me as a writer and film maker. Plus any Cemetery or graveyard I came across. Check out the 2 biggest in Pittsburgh. I know them well, and you would LOVE them!!
I can’t wait to hear this one. I love 💗 how you can bring history to life. I also love that u tell stories we have never heard so people will not be forgotten. Thank you and happy Halloween 🎃
I love the drone. St Omer Cemetery looks very eerie with the cornstocks and how it's hidden away. Maybe witches fly on their brooms around there.😯🎃
As a practicing Wiccan I only use my broom when I fly to hogwarts lol
I was 🤔 children of the corn 😱
@@bethshadid2087 Oh yeah Beth, I remember that movie.😱
Ron, you are brave! I would’ve been nervous on the bridge. Then, the cemetery didn’t seem bad to me but I was worried that one of those guard dogs would come out of the trees after you. I love dogs but the sounds of those guard dogs didn’t sound like they were very friendly.
Not sure what made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck more, The Grave yard, the man that killed his wife or the creepy smile of the officer in the picture behind him😱😱😱
You are an amazing narrator, Ron! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and look forward to new ones each day! Thank you
I really enjoy your videos. When I was younger my dad would take the family to the Memorial Day services at the cemetery and after we would walk around looking at the headstones. He would tell stories of his grandparents and relatives that had passed on. I enjoy these videos with the history of people that lived and died making their stories apart of our lives. There is a cemetery in SilverCliff Colorado (Silvercliff Cemetery) that has ben noted for reports of dancing lights in the cemetery. I have been there,but never saw the lights. Did see the beauty of the Sange de Cristo Mountains at sunrise.
Ron, you are enjoying every bit of the season. It's so much fun coming along with you on your spooky adventures. Uncle Eddie would have been proud. Happy Halloween !
That bridge has a VERY eerie vibe to it!! It certainly gave me the heebie jeebies just WATCHING it on UA-cam!! As for the cemetery - SOOOOOO spooky!! I'm not easily spooked either!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO!! XXXX
You have the excellent voice of a historian. Thank you for bringing to light forgotten souls.
When you showed the picture of the husband in court, the sheriff bailiff behind him with that smile like " oh your ass is ours now!" 🤣
I noticed that, too. He did look quite pleased, didn't he?
Did anyone notice that Granville died March 2, 1882. Then Caroline is the same year 1882. Then Feb 31, could be March 2. Possibly some reason or connection?
Hmmmm another mystery!
I noticed that. Maybe they both had pneumonia and died of it on the same day? I was thinking that someone could have told the engraver that "she died on the last day in Feb.", and he thought there were 31 days in Feb. But if that was so, how did he get Granvil's death date correct - unless someone told him that "Granvil died two days later"? That is presuming that Granvil did die on March 2. But who knows, at this point?
Looking forward to seeing this video tonight ♥️♥️
Perfect night for a spooky story! Chilly night here, cuddled up with a blanket and my maltese, Daisy! Lol
You’re drone footage is always so amazing!
This is going to be so great.Thanks alot Ron
That music😖🎃, was creepy big time!!, the headstones were beautiful though. The lady in the photograph that may have been Caroline, the window behind her may have been reflections of trees that just looked like something else. May they all rest in peace. Thanks for sharing another great video and have a blessed spooktacular week. 😱👻👻👻💀😊🎃😎
Been a while since I seen a live story from forgotten faces ....and let's begain got my hot tea the wind is build up this evening in merced California.
I came here in 2018 after visiting Pemberton Hall and Ashmore estate, I got here ironically at 3am on a full moon. I was taking nightlapses of haunted locations, definitely felt uncomfortable and kept my head down while my cameras took photos in the dark, didn't stay long. On the way to my next location my GPS started acting funny and there was this mass of darkness flying along side my card, I ended up in a ditch moments later, thus ending my trip. Don't know what it was but it seriously scared me.
Bingo! Ron before you said it I too guessed that the pretty girl standing to the left was Caroline; just a hunch.
Loved this one Ron .It was to late for me to watch live (2am in Scotland)You are a brave man I wouldn't of been in there alone ....very creepy !!!!
Another awesome piece! Both you and the fine background done by Deb. WoooWhooooo!
I grew up in Charleston IL and remember the airtight torso discovery. It was real quiet everywhere you went and people didn't go out and about as much for awhile after this happened. This was solved many yrs later but there are a few that not even to this day are still a mystery. You've got some great videos Ron! Thanks for sharing them...
Hey Gang!! Tonight is going to have u sleeping with ur blanket n the lights on!! The scariest night of ur life!! To get to the Video Under the Stars tonight, u r going to have to walk through a haunted house!! That house over there (pointing) has been declared by authorities as being the most haunted in the world!!! People go in n don't come out!! There r a people wandering around moaning, crying, screaming, laughing but...u can see through them!! There is the smell of death, all through the house! Upstairs, the bathtub is full but not full of water....green slime!! There is a hand sticking out of the slime!! WHAT WAS THAT??? It's a skeleton with internal organs hanging from the rib cage, the eyes r hanging from a small piece of skin!! The organs r moving, in n out, like the organs r breathing!! The light in the hall is flickering off n on but, there has been no electricity, water, gas or trash pick up for over 100 years!! The floors creeks with each step. LOOK!! LOOK OVER THERE!!(pointing)...OMG!!! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!! No wait!! We have to find the back door that leads to the area where there r snacks for Mr Ron's video!!! The wind is blowing slightly! The whole house feels like it's moving!! RUN!! RUN!! Who threw that axe into the wall just ahead?? COME ON GANG, THIS IS NO JOKE.....LET'S GO!!!!! COME ON!!! OMG,.................RON, RON???
😂👻🕊️
Oh, yes me too
😂😂😂
As a child me and my parents used to fish by a bridge that looked like that.Very eerie.
First thank you for telling these stories I enjoy the stories of ordinary people and you are great at telling them.
3 years ago I went to the US to be with my third cousin for 2 weeks, We had shared family history research daily by email. I was taken to 3 cemeteries and I felt all had that strange feeling of death to them and I found them very dry and bare. Our cemeteries don't have this eerie feeling of death because each grave is in like a small garden that the family can decorate as they wish and the cemeteries are so green and beautiful. We even go sunbathe in some and have from early time had picnics in at least one of them:)
I went to put flowers on the grave of my great great grandmother who had died in 1917. I am not surprised that you can find so many stories because I find the US to be a very violent country. What I mean is the in all my family history I have found no murders but then I can only go back to around 1660 or so and my earlier ancestors who were vikings I'm sure there would be stories to tell but that is very far back to have to go.
Doing research for my 3rd cousin I found that all his ancestors were fine when living in my country but that sure changed when coming to America. I had found death certificates for a family and was just copying them to his tree not reading them but my eyes fell on one word in one of them "homicide". So I had to find out more and I found newspaper clippings telling the story of how this woman and her husband was shot by their son-in-law. As if that wasn't enough it turned out that my cousin's uncle, which was the generation after these other people, got the death penalty for killing his wife and her daughter. I mean is there something in the air in America? And with my great great grandmother who had left our country in 1907, I got her divorce papers and it was 72 pages of her testimony of how her husband had treated her and tried to kill her several times like(him on a horse) when she was milking a cow and when he didn't succeed, screamed to his friend to shoot her. This was just one of the times. She is the only one of my ancestors with this kind of history and she only found this violence in the US. She died because her health was bad because he had starved her but she did have a couple of good years with another man before she died. So I'm not surprised you can find these scary stories:) Sorry this comment is so long:)
That's so disrespectful that someone will burn candles over their grave thinking she's a real witch anyway and doing witchcraft that's so disrespectful
You're right. I hope they get haunted.
Yes October definitely has that errie silence to it and gloomy darkness, especially this side of the pond. Thanks for taking us with you. I don't think that sphere comes off lol...looks pretty fixed there, but it's fun to imagine it does. This is great content in th run up to Halloween 👌.
I think I saw someone or something walking in this video. It is when Ron describes that he "has spotted the grave. It is over there ". The camera pans over to the far right, and there is an upright figure walking straight near the trees, then disappears. Ron then says "but we gonna go this way first". I looked at it several times, and there is something definitely there. Any comments on this?
Grew up near airtight and the cemetary. I'm from hindsboro, a short 20 min drive from the places.
I went to school in Oakland.
I now live in mattoon where ragdoll cemetary is. You should totally investigate that as well!
Awesome to see you around these parts!
Thr situation sounds like Crestone, Colorado, right outside of that Small Town driving towards the wooded area, on one side of the dirt road, there was no wind, no breeze or any sound at all. I mean no sounds of life at all, but on the other side of the dirt road, there was normal noise and sounds.it was very eerie. My husband at the time said, that town was full of witchcraft. It was weird driving through that town too there was absolutely no sign of people around in their houses, outside and no activity, whatsoever. I was so scared, I drove like a bat out of hell, to get out of there. So, Crestone, Colorado is haunted. It's located in the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado close to Monte Vista. The calm air right outside of Crestone, is very scary and eerie, like he is talking about. I have never experienced anything like this anywhere else.
Thanks Ron another great video...would not have known these stories without you..stay safe in your travels.
Love the bridge and the monument nice job with the drone very spooky.🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
Ohh m woordd Ron! The corn as you walked in reminds me of, Mazomanie WI. "For he who walks behind the rows". From children of the corn!
Wow, what a unique headstone 😍 morning coffee and storytime, what better way to start a new week ☕🥰
Fantastic story! Walking around the woods in Ireland watching this, properly spooked 👻
Very interesting story.
Thanks Ron. Such an interesting story indeed!
What a beautiful bridge! It reminds me of the bridge across Spoon River at Elmore Illinois. It has been replaced but nothing can replace my memories of standing on the bridge watching the river water lazily flow under us. That's a gorgeous setting for a cemetery too. It too reminds me of Glendale Cemetery in Elmore. Never creep because nearly everyone there is family. 💝
You tell the best stories....
You are the best storyteller ever Ron! Thanks for sharing! 😀
Wow, both of those locations looked very remote and spooky to visit alone. Interesting, though, Ron!
Thank you for the videos. I am drawn into these stories every time.
I wish I had the time to properly clean and highlight and protect all those stones not able to be read for future generations.
I did want to scream 😱 “Train! Train!” When you showed the bridge from the side. Sad story however that lead you to the bridge!
That was so good but went by sooo fast! Lol 😔
I wanted more, too!!
@@KimberlyLew Right?? Time flies when you're having fun! 🤷♀️
@@62Sandrea More scary Halloween videos coming up!! Watch for them.
Thank you Ron, that bridge was so isolated nd creepy. I thought the sculpture of the orb on logs was so well made. As for the date well 😏. May they all R.I.P. 💕🇦🇺
Excellent story! Thank-you for sharing!
it is truly a beautiful tombstone
To Ron the Story teller ! Can't wait to see what you have for us this week! Thank you 🕊️🎃🇺🇸
Creepy cemetery and just a flat out sad story about Caroline. People disrespecting the headstone all because of a stupid tale. May she have the peace and her family too.....
Boy talk about an eerie cemetery 😱😱 I would never go there at night! Love your channel Ron!
Ooooohhh! I got a real uneasy feeling from this cemetery! Great video as always Ron! Thank you.
Greetings! As usual enjoying the vid. . If you find yourself in similar circumstances (October-ish and eery)and you hear banjos... RUN LIKE HELL!
Happy Halloween 🎃
Sounds spooky 🥺 See you all there!
This was really interesting, and your drone-images are sooooo very beautiful, it feels like I am on top of the drone when you fly over the cemeteries, I enjoy it very very much.
All your stories are great to hear and see!!!!
Thanks, love from Holland 👍🏻👋🏻😘
I love old bridges and their history so seeing this one was a real treat. So glad you took us on the walk with you. So, this story is a good example of how stories are embellished throughout the years to make them more interesting. Caroline was most likely not a witch but just had some odd behaviors and of course since she was different, she had to be a witch. If she died of Pneumonia, then she was never charged with witchcraft or burned at the stake. This monument fascinates me. I have never seen anything like it. I did some research and the logs with the sawed-off branches represent family members that have passed on before, often buried nearby. The use of logs represents the shortness of time we have on earth. A sphere is meant to be wholeness, completeness or even the universe. Interestingly the honeycomb represents the spirit as the bee and the comb is where the spiritual input of one's life can be stored. Love that you went to this isolated old cemetery, and I learn something every time I watch. Thank you, kind sir, for giving me another lesson in life and death.,
Hello from Kearney Missouri!! Have been binge watching for the past week and I love it!! You had me at Jessie James! Drive by his resting place every day!! So glad I found your channel!
Happy you found us!!!
@@KimberlyLew Thank you!! Me too 😊
What an amazing beautiful old cemetery. I've always loved them. So quiet and peaceful. People that are creeped out by it, i always make the point that the one's below ground you needn't worry about; it's the one's above that are trouble!😱😨😊lol..
Very nice drone footage and music! Thank you for the video. It was spooky!! Happy Halloween!! Take care, stay safe, safe travels. Enjoy your evening.
Excellent story telling as usual, thanks for your hard work.
The River has a very subdued atmosphere. I saw no wild fowl heard no Bird song. Was it like that? Thank you for the great videos.
Hi Ron Just thought you would like to know in our tradition being ( Italian)when we drive past a cemetery we make the sign of the cross & say God rest there souls & say a little prayer, I think it's beautiful & also out of respect for the ones who have gone on before us. ;)
Thank you for this really interesting exploring journey. Many thanks!
Love you MR RON thank you for taking us along always amazing story teller
I truly admire you. No way on earth would I walk into that cemetery! Your video could win an award for best ghost story!
Man, I love your videos! I find myself watching them over and over! Thanks for all your effort in making them!
Your drone footage and accompanying music are fabulous
