Ghost Of Little Girl Seen Playing Here | St James Cemetery | Liverpool Catacombs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- St James Cemetery in Liverpool really has it all, A vampire, a witch, and the ghost of a little girl called grace. The site was originally a quarry dating to the 16th century and the stone it produced was used in many buildings in the city. When all the useable stone was exhausted in 1825, a new use was found for the site. The cemetery opened in 1829, and planned to use the rock as catacombs, however it wasn't a popular choice and many weren't even excavated.
As we walk around, keep your eyes peeled for the ghost of little Grace, she's said to still play here, just as she did when she was alive.

Bedankt
Wow Martha. Thank you for your support! It means a lot x
I used to *hide* in the quietness of this cemetery during school lunch time when I was a 12 year old. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts was originally the Liverpool Institute Grammar School, just a five minute walk, if that from the noisy playground. I hated the school, the noise, the bullying and the formality of the old fashioned way of 'teaching'.
We weren't 'allowed' to leave the school grounds during break times but it was so easy to escape the confines of this hellhole through a gap in the fence behind a tree. I knew the cemetery far better than the Maths, Latin and Physics the school were trying their best to teach me. There were little 'stickleback' fish in a rectangular shaped memorial pond, lovely clear water with pondweed and snails. I remember washing my hands in the water from the Spring but never drank from it! The cemetery was my escape for 45 minutes at lunchtime every day for almost a year. I don't think the 12 year old me could have coped without that safe space, bully-free, peaceful sanctuary.
wow Baz, thanks for sharing that. I'm glad you could use it to get away from that place, sounds like hell as you say.
@@deadgoodwalks I'm wondering if the 'Memorial Pond' with the stickleback fish I mentioned is actually the run-off water from the natural spring. It seems funny to say I have happy memories of this Liverpool cemetery, but I really do! And you're the first person I've shared my story with. 😊
Am so sorry you was Bullied Kids can be horrible glad you found somewhere to escape the bullying
@@user-wc8is6jx5z Thanks for your kind words 😊👍

At 3:25 you feature a stone of Mary Allen and her son Ernest. I felt led to research their story and this was such an avoidable tragedy, but no blame to the captain, he honestly didn't know the weather would become hurricane-like, according to official accounts.
Mary Allen and her son had been over on the island inspecting an extension to their property - Hawthorn Cottage in Maughold. Mrs Allen was a Sunday school teacher at St. Luke’s church at top of Bold Street ( now known as the bombed out church). They caught the tram into Ramsey to make the sailing.
When they boarded, the weather was moderate, although the barometric pressure was dropping. The captain decided to sail anyway and so they set off at 1:15 pm expecting weather to hold until they reached port.
By all accounts, this ship was the oldest and smallest ship in the fleet by 1909, however, she was considered the most reliable in bad weather.
By 6:35 pm the weather took a turn for the worse with 24 ft waves and a large wave overwhelmed the ship. All were lost in this tragedy, with sea watchers seeing several dead sheep, a piano and several bags of turnips floating. Five days later they stayed recovering bodies.
Ernest’s body was later recovered from the ship. His mother remained lost at sea. The captain's body was washed ashore on Ainsdale beach in Southport.
So sad.. They never found Mary...
Lovely video Dan. Pleased that you found the engraving of 'Little Grace', it isn't easy to find. Apparently, grace was the illegitimate child of a wealthy merchant, and when she died aged 4, he had her buried without a marker. Her ghost appeared to one Joseph Donough while he was visiting the cemetery, and showed him where she was buried, and it is said it was Joseph who etched her name in the rock near her burial place. At 28.20 in your video, 2 of the vaults you are in front of, were broken into in the late 1960's. A policeman found some young boys playing football with a human skull in Duke St. They took the policeman to the cemetery where they had found the skull, and the policeman then discovered 2 vaults had been broken into, and items stolen from the coffins inside. lovely place to spend an evening. atb Mike
Thanks for the info Michael. I’d heard that story about the 2 boys and the skull before but I completely forgot it was here! It’s a shame we don’t know Grace’s story for sure but I guess it adds to the mystery.
Unique, might be worthy of more visits.
Where abouts in the video did he find the little girl Grace's grave site etching?

Michael R Gentry wow what a story about kids kicking around a human skull, thank you for the mention, what a shame someone had to break into a vault and steal from the dead.. sad people only do that... 🤗
Wow! What a hauntingly beautiful cemetery. Quite eerie, isn't it? Quite old, as well. And yes, that would be a good place for a night walk on Halloween or any night for that matter. I get the shivers just thinking about it.
Thanks so very much, Dan for this beautiful walk. ❤
Thanks for the lovely comment Cathy. I got the shivers during this video, the atmosphere is something else x
Cathy, hello my friend, yes my thoughts exactly, very eerie Feeling, but beautiful at the same time.. 🤗
@@Regina0964 Good morning, Regina. I hope you have a nice day!
@@deadgoodwalks do you know contact info conjuring sent from same thing happened haunted house on season start show releases new James wan knows all about it before with Joey King conjuring series season start in Spanish language arts center spot on conjuring house part of the world
What a beautiful cemetery. Love all the different headstones, grave makers etc. The art work on some is amazing.
This was quite an adventure! The foliage was gorgeous and the weather looked perfect. Very atmospheric and beautiful place. Robert Birkett's gravesite was my favorite and Yikes! A Rat!! You were so calm about it lol. Too bad Little Grace wasn't out playing while you were there - maybe we'll see her if you go back to do a nighttime video.
Maybe I need a rat cam, because they get into the places I can't lol. Hopefully she will, I'd love to meet her (careful what you wish for lol)
Place a Mini GoPro on a mouse or rat and then we can have a closer look inside the places we can't normally see...lol that would be interesting.. 🤗
Was here today, just recently moved back to the area. Lots of aggresion at home so felt at peace sitting amongst the departed. As the saying goes it's the living you need to be scared of not the dead. Nice video.
Thank you for taking the time to film this area. It is ashame that they moved those markers around, and didn't leave them where they were. Hopefully, they kept good records; so families doing research can find their Grave. Enjoyed the tour , Thank you 😊.
No problem Joel, yes it's a shame they decided to move them. I'm not sure why cities try to make old cemeteries into parks, just leave them as they are
@@deadgoodwalks 👍👍
We have a Grace here in Savannah, Georgia. She is interred at the Bonaventure Cemetery along the coast. She died of a fever on Easter. And her grieving parents had a life sized replica of her carved of marble and place on her grave. She is fenced off and she has been heard laughing in the cemetery. Her statue is so life like. It must have cost thousands in the 1800's.
What a really great cemetery. Lots to take in. I agree 100 percent. It’s great to walk during the fall and enjoy the colors.
I am from India. I everyday look in to your stuff, and i like the way u present it. Graves are mysteriously beautiful
Thank you! It always amazes me how people from all around the world see my stuff.
Used to live near here. We played there as kids, got caught at night a few times. Running up that path through the cut through is very scary at night when you are ten. If you go look at the gravestones around the walls. So sad, lots from orphanages. You can also go to the cathedral, brilliant place to spend an afternoon at this time of the year.
Thanks for sharing your childhood memories, pretty brave for a kid. I'll have to check the ones around the sides now, Cheers Bluenose!
This is definitely a creepy old little cemetery. These are my favorite
Beautiful atmosphere! The closed location of this cemetery creates a feeling like a journey in a timemachine a hundred years back. Greetings Michi
How unusual of a cemetery. So very sad that so many of those people buried there were so young. Very high mortality rate during those times. Life was so incredibly hard and disease was rampant. 😢
Thanks again Dan! What a beautiful cemetery, so many levels and unusual findings! I absolutely think this place would make a killer night walk 🙌🏼
No worries Emma. Glad you liked it. Thank you
Hi Emma yu been to Bradford cemetery undercliffe
I like to talk to the dead girl in cemetery tell her to go to light then she can go back to heaven
Emma it would be very creepy at night, but I would love it so much more. 🤗
Loved the video. I love old cemetaries. Neat seeing someone buried there from my state. And wow my name is very popular there. Love all your videos, keep up the good work.
You're welcome! It could be a distant relative, imagine that. Thanks for watching
Thanks Dan. Great video. Loved the different levels and yes would be great at night, very atmospheric.
Thanks Ian, Yeah I think it has to be done. Many thanks for the super thanks
I could spend the rest of my life reading headstones and just so amazed at the beauty and love expressed. It would take the rest of my life to travel England Ireland........and my ancestors Scotland.
Hi just found your channel really good and interesting can't stop watching
Thanks Derek, glad you’re loving it
Good to see you in my great city fab video as usual 👍😘
Thank you. I do love Liverpool
I’ve never seen a cemetery like this before I think it’s really cool
What an unusual place to have a cemetery!! Though it looks a BEAUTIFUL place, it does have a VERY oppressive atmosphere!!
RIP Little Grace!! XXXX 💖💚👍🌹
Wow, this place is amazing! So different, love these unique ones (wouldn’t wanna be caught dead there in the night by myself though 😂)
I must have fell a sleep , I missed the part of the little girl ghost playing black jacks! I rewind and get a beer this time while I watch. OH boy! what fun...
Don't blame you, it's a long video lol
Cemeteries in England are so beautiful, and so full of history. I briefly visited the Brompton cemetery in London and wish i could've spent more time there. Thank you for your walks
One of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever seen. I can't wait to visit from Australia next year. Thank you. Great video.
hi dan the wild garlic grow april-june every year :) ive seen the vampire grave it is there xx be safe. so pleased you found the grave of beautiful little grace its not easy to find or get to
What strikes me about these Victorian era graves is the relative youth of those interred, not only in the UK but here in the US as well. Rarely older than 65 or so. Back then, this was considered a ripe old age, I suppose. Another lovely walk. Thank you!
That is because Medical Science was not as advanced back then as it is today. No NHS either, a lot of people lived in very unsanitory cramped housing, no flushing toilets with open sewers on the streets many having to share a communal water pump or well these water sources would often end up being polluted by the sewerage, this was a recipe for disaster causing many people to die young due to diseases such as Cholera, Typhus, Dysentrey etc. Add in the fact a lot of these people were working class and worked damn hard some would say to hard. We are so lucky to live in the modern age. It was a tough life living in the Victorian and Edwardian era if you were not wealthy.
@@thetoonpiper Yes. I was exploring an old Quaker cemetery in Indiana recently, and besides the civil war dead (an entire regiment!) the great majority of the graves were babies and young children, all victims of the typhoid epidemic of the time. Not a great time to be born!
Very interesting, thank you.Thomas Banning died on March 10 1833 at the age of 75 and his wife Mary departed August 26 1843 at the age of 68. Could not see the entries at the bottom of the stone.
This is magnificent just full of such interesting tombs. When you said it was creepy were you picking up something? Never seen a graveyard inside a quarry. Thank you!
Just a really heavy atmosphere, a bit like when the air feels heavy if that makes sense
Great video! It looks so serene along with your soft spoken words. Thank you for allowing me to go on your walks with you.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Sue
It’s such a shame that so many stones are removed from where the people who they represent are laid to rest. It’s not the stones in actuality, it’s the person, once alive and loved, who count. Those poor souls’ resting places are lost to us all. It’s a shame to separate the marker from the person buried. Grave stones stand to represent those who no longer are able to stand here above ground, a silent reminder of the silent dead beneath and even if you can’t read them any longer, you know there’s a person who lies there.
I really enjoyed this video, i used to play at the old cemetery at the back of our house when i was a child, i always felt attracted to it. There really is something charming about old cemeteries. Thankyou very much sharing this great video with us!
What a unique graveyard! Mary Allen was a Sunday school teacher who’s remains were never recovered. Her son who died with her was found inside the ship.
Great video - used to play there as a kid - all the catacombs were open or partially but it was in a state looks a lot better now 👍
Thanks PureChaos. I wish I could have seen it back then. I bet you had some great adventures
It was fun thank you the catacombs we went into were just mainly big rooms with stone caskets but a couple had arched back walls maybe leading further - the one in the dingle scared me very old but small - keep up the good videos and thanks for making them 👍
I think that is the most beautiful video in a graveyard that I have seen to date, anywhere. I might be biased because, although I now live on the West Coast of Canada, I am originally from Liverpool and remember the Protestant Cathedral and environs so well. However, I am ashamed to say that I never knew this lovely cemetery even existed. I saw lots of sirnames which could well have been attached to my extended family as well as the Maritime connections. Bravo. Great viewing.
just as i was thinking, it looks like Highgate, you said the same thing... Highgate is my favorite i think...long and lovely tour Dan, thanks so much! 🎃
What an amazing cemetery! You're right. It would be perfect for a night wak. I. So glad I found your channel! I love your work.
Cheers Kimberley
That's a lovely story about Little Grace ❤️
Great video. It would be scary n creepy going thru there at night. Lots to see in the video! Thank u for sharing it with us!
Glad you enjoyed it Jeep Girl. x
Excellent! Only that I wish you could have found to show us the vampire grave!! I really want to find where it is! Thank you for the video 👍!
Next time!
Another awesome enchanting cemetary. Thanx for the tour.

Thanks Dan once again , so sad to see graffiti scratched into monuments, rubbish laying around we have a lot of problems with kids knocking over gravestones in Australia, it's si interesting to see such old monuments.
I love this cemetery I will make it my mission to visit it. Thanks really enjoyed watching. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
WOW What an interesting place.Did not know it even existed. Thank you very much
some amazing memorial stones there. Another great upload. Your content is of very high quality.
The grave with the Roman numerals @ 10:44 displays the "May 14", date. However, the year is written in a weird format: 1503 (MDIII) + 39 (XXXIX), which is not a valid year. If they were trying to write the year 1542 (1503 + 39) it should have been noted as MDXXXIX. So I believe a mistake was made on this headstone and perhaps their intention was to register 1839 (MDCCCXXXIX), considering the cemetery was inaugurated in 1829. Elizabeth was 69 (LXIX) years old. ==> M = 1000 / D = 500 / C = 100 / L = 50 / X = 10 / IX = 9 and IV = 4.
You said a bit creepy. I think so too. To go there in the night would give me goosebumps!!!
It's got one of the creepiest atmosphere's I've encountered so far, more so than Highgate cemetery in London. Get ready for some goosebumps, we'll be going back soon 👻 xx
Curious - in one of your videos about two months ago, you mentioned when you went in to a room full of urns, it felt like you walked in to a room of people watching you. Have you ever seen anything unexplained during your visits? I know that’s not what you’re about but I’m just curious if you’ve seen anything? Another fantastic video with the people of yesteryear. Thanks Andy
I mainly see things out the corner of my eye, very quickly so you can’t even tell what it was.
@@deadgoodwalks thank you for being forthright and honest. Some would have denied all.
@@deadgoodwalks interesting stuff! Keep up the great work
Obeliskus, Obelisk lol. We know what you mean.
Humour in the afterworld, after all.
Great wander through an amazing cemetery.
I'm sure the spirits slip me up for a bit of fun sometimes lol
Really enjoyed this Autumn walk. This would be a great midnight Halloween walk.
Thank you Jo-Ann
Oh wow, you had some people buried that is from the USA, over there, that's pretty neat to know.
The clarity of your camera is beautiful! I would love to walk amongst those graves! Your channel popped up so I really love this! So I subscribed and ty for the tour.
Hey Barbara, thank you for subscribing, Glad you're enjoying the channel
Thanks mate for finding a few more THRELFALLS. (Liverpool branch)
John Mayor Threlfall may have died a lunatic? The family in Liverpool was also know for Threlfall’s brewery in Liverpool. Also, there was a Thomas Threlfall (Lead fireman) who survived the Titanic sinking. I don’t know where he is buried…keep up the hunt! 😊 Cheers. R. THRELFALL
They seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment Richard. It would be great to find the firemans grave. Cheers mate
wonderful walk in a beautiful place thank you and all the best from trev down south
This is the most unusual graveyard I have seen. It would be lovely to do drone footage of the whole area. If you get a drone please do it. Great video, and I subbed.
I’ll have to dust the drone off. Thank you for subbing x
Just subscribed to your channel.. I’ve always enjoyed walking through church yards as they’re usually peaceful, a nice walk and something to read on the way, with the benefit of our smart phones we can Google to find out who certain people were.. it’s not morbid at all.. it’s the whole point of them, to be remembered.
Anyway found this on the SS Allan Vannin sinking which happened during a storm in Liverpool bay..
Thanks for the videos.. always good to watch 😊

Mrs Allen was a Sunday school teacher at St.Luke’s church at top of Bold Street ( now known as the bombed out church). They caught the tram into Ramsey to make the sailing.

I loved this video. I want to visit this cemetery some day myself. Have you ever considered doing the Edge Hill tunnels?
No but I've heard of them. I'm not sure I'd do a video on them but I'll go one day. I've done the williamson tunnels
Thank you , what wonderful walk I really enjoy watching your videos from Indiana USA
Intriguing as always, Dan. Thank you.

You been to undercliffe cemetery Bradford Victorian cemetery peapele buried there since 1400 years
Hi Javid, not yet but it's on the list
11:09 Thomas Banning - March 10th 1833 aged 75 years, Mary Banning August 26th 1847 aged 67 years
I lived in Lexington, Kentucky for 21 years and had worked for the Lexington Public Library's local history room. Was kind of surprised I hadn't heard of him so I looked up William Barry Taylor and find that according to the Kentucky Encyclopedia, while his memorial stone is in Liverpool, he's buried in Frankfort, Kentucky which is the state capital. Here is the Wikipedia article on Taylor which also includes a portrait of the man. Thought you might find it interesting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Barry
Gorgeous cemetery and history. Wondering why all the stones are lined up against the walls? Where are they buried I 🤔 wonder?
They cleared the cemetery to make it a park, Which is a shame. The bodies are where the grass areas are
Fantastic. What a beautiful place ❤
Thanks for your great video ☺️
Wow thank you Phillip. Too kind 👍🏻
Awesome video just awesome .
Thanks JJ
Amazing I love old gravestones 🤩
An amazing tour. Thank you so much.
I really enjoyed this beautiful old cemetery. As always, your videos are so interesting. Looking forward to your next Dead Good Walks. *Greetings from Canada* 🙂
Thank you Shelley. Me too 😁
Did they used to bury one person on top of another ( family members ) it seems a lot of these old cemeteries are very crowded with the graves and stones. Very ancient and beautiful the green grass and the ornate stone markers. I just wonder about how they kept up. Thank you for doing these videos. Love it
❤ bellissimo video, grazie 🥀
looks like there had been a fire in that first section. also around 16:50 you hear a little girl laughing as if in play, which is a bit eerie as it was after you mentioned looking for grace's grave
Never noticed that. I seem to pick a lot of spirit radio
Excellent and fascinating just subscribed
At the end when there was the guy doing a photo shoot took me back to when i was in my 20s long time ago now ,i did a midnight shoot in a large old cemetery at halloween , i was dressed as a bride ,it was a very windy night the veil was allover the place which made it very authentic we then applied fake blood and the rain came ,i remember walking out of the graveyard about 3 am as party goers were heading home the first thing they saw was a bloodied bride scared them to death until they saw the photographer and make up lady following behind .
Beautiful old cemetr. In Massachusetts USA there is more space between graves, where are the bodies buried, or have there been multiple burials in each location and markers just nearby?
Also RIP poor Mary Elizabeth 17 days old thats awful her poor mum must have been distraught , awful times they were back then.
