Imagine you paid for a grave and they just take it one day. I'm haunting someone.
I love visiting old cemeteries and love to read about their histories. This was so interesting. Sad and kinda creepy seeing headstones used in the streets.
Well it's simple nobody dies..
It's theft someone paid for graveside and stone and greedy people just take what they want
Commentary was well organized and presented in video. Well done.
That’s a horrible way to use grave stones…
I surprised of the green spaces that Colma has. My paternal grandmother's family are buried in Mt Zion in Queens, NYC. Other than the paths that line the cemetery like a street, there is virtually no land. It looks like the dead were buried standing up. This is acres of land. Maurice Avenue, the street that forms the eastern boundary of the cemetery, on the north side of the Long Island Expressway, you will be looking west. The foreground is tall narrow headstones separated by millimeters of one another. No blade of grass. Creepy looking isolated trees. In the background you saw the skyscrapers of Manhattan which is about 7 1/2 miles. The tall buildings looked like gigantic tombstones flushed against the tall narrow headstones
That makes for a seriously unsettled city of the dead. 😵💫
There's a special place in Hell for those who disturb the dead.
5:05 Crazy the old gravestones are part of the pedestrian paths
You nailed it again Mason!
Great job!
Loved it.
Thanks.
This is where parts of Vertigo was filmed the cemetary connected to tower & church
"Oh my, wow, Jesus", just some of my comments while watching your video. So interesting. Thanks so much for stitching this history together for us.
Dude that was NUTS!!!
Love that sign off line!!)) thanks cheers 🍻
Whoa, wild history…I only knew Colma was full of car dealerships.
Herb Cain quoted that Colma was the city that waits for the city to die to die.
Just found you and think your doing a great job will catch up looking at content 😊
I appreciate it! Hope you enjoy them.
Wow dude awesome super interesting thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn, I am now wondering if this happened in NY since they are just like SF, surrounded on 3 sides by water. Crazy to exhume people... and even crazier to give away someone's headstone. JFC. Those wild west movies with someguy selling coffins to make a buck weren't lying. These guys were cut throat making a buck on selling their tombstone as building material... The 49s were just ate up and spit out by the gold rush capitalist making money off selling them transportation, supplies and a grave. Life must of been so rough for them.
Thanks Mason. i knew vaguely of Colma, but not the details. Now i want to go see it myself!:-) 🖖
Did Jensen McRae watch this and then write a song? Bless this video because that song is a work of art
Interesting. Never heard of the song until now
I was there,Several times to make Deliveries. Very Creepy! 1996.
When you showed the collumbarium, not the collumbarium.
If Poltergeist were a vibe this video explains Frisco's current state, not to mention elephant-in-the-room political policies.
Using headstones for public works? Disgraceful, period.
I would not accept a glass of water in Colma 😂😂😂😂 the groundwater has GOT to be demonic by now 😅
Evil people paid to put loved ones to rest and greedy people decide that land/ graveside belongs to them the stoned was paid was now stolen. Just like greedy people make laws for you to fish that they don't own. Greed😮
It’s pretty shady nd highly disrespectful to treat peoples graves and headstones that way! They came to strike gold and little did they know they’d die and be treated so cold. Forgotten and basically erased by man, not by God.
Seems peaceful. I wonder what the crime rate is, is it a good place to live?
Sounds like a democratic town.
Something new to me. All registered democrats with a 100% voter turnout.
LOL that's actually pretty funny
