World's Spookiest Mausoleum? Calvin C Phillips - Tallahassee, Florida
Вставка

- Let’s take a look at one of the most bizarre mausoleums in the world. This is the mausoleum of Calvin C. Phillips located in Oakland Cemetery, in the city of Tallahassee, Florida. Now, why do I call it bizarre? Because a man walked into this mausoleum, lied down inside the casket and then died. This is not just a rumor, it is recorded clearly that on 19th of November, 1919, Calvin C. Phillips told a man who was passing by to call his undertaker and then went into the mausoleum. The undertaker came within an hour, and found Phillips dead inside the casket. He was alarmed, so he called the authorities and it was determined beyond any doubt that this was a natural death.
No funeral services were held, nobody came to see his body. All the undertaker had to do was lock the door and his job was done. Till today, it has remained a mystery that a human being could calculate the time of his death so accurately. But what did Calvin Phillips do? He was a fanatic clock maker and was obsessed with the concept of time, So obsessed that he built his house in Tallahassee with a huge clock tower. But what else is known about this man? Pretty much nothing. All we can gather is that his name is Calvin C. Phillips and he died on November 19, 1919.
This man’s life is a real puzzle because people have searched through census records and birth certificates from all the 50 states and have found no record of him. Because of this, there are even rumors that he is a Vampire who lived for centuries, got tired of living and locked himself in the mausoleum.
But we are just scratching the surface of this mystery. On 26th of April 2000, a visitor noticed that the original marble door had been cracked open. The cops were called and they were shocked to find out that the casket was open and the Skull had been stolen. On one of the walls, a hexagram was drawn with blood, possibly human blood along with the number 322 and on the floor there was a burnt book. Obviously these are signs of occult rituals which took place the night before, but the most intriguing detail is the missing skull. I mean, they could have taken the entire skeleton, but why did they take the skull and leave the rest? Obviously we can’t help but think of folklore that says one of the few ways to kill a vampire is to tear its head off. Why did they let the body rest there for 81 years and then decide to take the skull? The skull has not been found even as of 2015.
Ghost stories are so many that the Police have to guard the mausoleum on Halloween nights. One person saw an old man with a long beard perched up on top of the dome. As he was looking, the old man flew from there to this gigantic oak tree. A week later, a 15 year old girl was found unconscious not on the ground, but on one of the branches. And then there is the story of a man with a cane who keeps asking visitors “What time is it”?
Now, this metallic door was put up by authorities who sealed the entrance after the missing skull incident, but before that it had a beautiful marble door. Above the door, you can see his last name Phillips but no first name, no date of birth or death, no other information. This is so weird because this man built his own fabulous mausoleum, possibly the very first mausoleum in Florida, but gives no other information. Most people would die to have their information etched all over the walls. And think about it, this mausoleum is just too big for one casket. A person can live inside it. So, what else was in it? Some people believe that Phillips himself came out of the casket at night and walked around and they say they often hear footsteps inside the mausoleum.
Remember I said he had a house with a giant clock tower. It was there until 1980s and we even have some pictures of it. But one morning, people of Tallahassee realized that it was just gone, as if the entire tower and the house had evaporated. Till today, nobody has been able to locate it.
Now, whether you believe in ghosts or not, you've got to admit that this is a pretty strange story. So is this the most bizarre mausoleum in the world? What do you think?

Definitely the theft is a skull & bones ritual. They have had a penchant for stealing skulls, including Geronimos skull. They also use the 322 number as an identifier. If you want you're culprits for the theft of the skull, they left their signature at the scene.
322 is the number of the 'Skull and Bones' club. Elite secret society...
Who Got Scared at 2:04 I almost had a seizure xD
i wet myself a little.. is that a bad thing?
F0X G0D10 lmao omg me too almost chocked to death eating my crunch bar
Yes, Me.
🤣🤣🤣
That vampire part scared me😂😂
I’m from Tally and so is all my family in my moms side, we’ve been here since the beginning😂 I know some old people, including my grandparents that know a lot about the clock tower house and everything, Even though much still isn’t known about Philips himself. This one older lady I kinda know used to play at that house when she was little. His house was located right by the old train station, which was perfect for someone obsessed with time. Multiple times I’ve parked right in front of where the house was and never realized it until recently. All that’s left is this hill and you can see where stairs or a driveway once were, right across the street from this restaurant called “Nefertari’s”. It’s also believed that at the time Philips died, all the clocks in his house stopped at that exact time. Philips came from up north somewhere, where he was an architect, abandoned his family, came to tally, became obsessed with time and literally barely came out of his house, he would only come out to watch the trains (I think).
Calvin C. Phillips (1832 - 10 November 1919).
It's not true that he is unknown person! Everything is clear about him! Census records indicate that Calvin C. Phillips was born around 1834 in Massachusetts. He trained as an architect and lived in New York for some portion of his adult life. His architectural work was honored by medals from the Pennsylvania State Agriculture Society and the “Exposition Universelle” of 1889, which were brought to Florida by his daughter after his death.He built a home at 815 South Macomb Street, and erected a large clock tower at one end of the building. Calvin Phillips’ property eventually passed into the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Blaine, who in turn gave the house and clock tower to the Florida Heritage Foundation. Efforts to restore the unusual landmark proved prohibitively expensive, and it was torn down in the 1980s.
thank you. It's been so many years ago I lived in Tallahassee and went to FSU but there was an artical in the paper about him and all of your info seems to come to mind now. I am angry whoever damaged the tomb and stold part of his remains are not found and punished.
How could they have searched the birth records in all 50 states when there wasn't 50 states in 1919?
+ShysterLawyer He had a wife and two daughters in New York. He had an attorney in Tallahassee. He left a will. His daughter went to Florida to finalize everything.
+ShysterLawyer Only Hawaii and Alaska were not states in 1919, but people still lived in both areas. Records were surely kept there as well as any other state at the time. When they became states the records still existed.
They should have searched the census records and then trace back to see if he was born in another country
As we southerners say: "He Done fucked up cus."
There was 44 states, in 1919... you thought you did smth
322 skull n bones they use it for ceremonials ,)
They did the same thing to Geronimo. The Sioux Indian tribe sued to get his skull back from the "Skull and Bones" secret society. Two prominent mambers are John Kerry and George W. Bush.
"Among prominent alumni are former President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft (a founder's son); former Presidents and father and son George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush; Supreme Court Justices Morrison R. Waite and Potter Stewart; James Jesus Angleton, "mother of the Central Intelligence Agency"; Henry Stimson, U.S. Secretary of War (1940-1945); U.S. Secretary of Defense (1951-1953) Robert A. Lovett, William B. Washburn, Governor of Massachusetts; and Henry Luce, founder and publisher of Time, Life, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated magazines.[citation needed]
John Kerry, former U.S. Secretary of State and former U.S. Senator; Stephen A. Schwarzman, founder of Blackstone Group; Austan Goolsbee, Chairman of Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers; Harold Stanley, co-founder of Morgan Stanley; and Frederick W. Smith, founder of FedEx, are all reported to be members.
In the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, both the Democratic and Republican nominees were alumni. George W. Bush wrote in his autobiography, "[In my] senior year I joined Skull and Bones, a secret society; so secret, I can't say anything more."[21] When asked what it meant that he and Bush were both Bonesmen, former Presidential candidate John Kerry said, "Not much, because it's a secret."

That graphic was scary
Great editing
Low tech jump scares during narration....well played sir....well played ;)P \m/
You speak very fluent and excitingly! Like watching Barney..
If you like this story check the history of Old City Cemetery in Tallahassee between Call Street and Park Ave. It has a huge wrought iron fence and gate around it that is locked every night ritually not to keep people out but to keep what is buried there in. Several graves of people that were tried and executed as witches are buried there and presumed to wander the grounds at night. The public library which is only a block away has better detailed information about it.
Wait, 322, isn't that a chapter number for Skull and Bones if I remember.
Looks like the movie “ johncarter”
The Skull & Bones boys needed to replace Geronimo's skull for their rituals.
Jeez, what a freaky story man!
thanks for this video it is unbeleavable
Thr was no record of his existence since he was a time traveler
deepg0830 Exactly he was probably born overseas and should research the Ellis Island Foundation records. He could have been an immigrant.
i like a number of the things you've put up here, like the stuff from India.
This one I'm not so sure about.
I mean, would a house with a brick clock tower just disappear overnight? How do we know that this is actually real, anyway?
it's a puzzle, I suppose, that you've offered us. I do appreciate the time it took. I just wish just a little more research on your part had been done on this particular one.
BTW, the India stuff is so interesting to me bc I enjoy history.
+Merci de Beaucoup I agree, there is a LOT of speculation in this video. Although, I have to admit, as a Tallahassee native, I'm not sure why I've never heard this story before. With a really quick Google search, I found that the house was torn down in the 80s. It didn't "disappear".
I had the videp on full screen ans really close to my face....the vampire scared the crap out of me.
Amazing that one can walk into and never come out again - though, how did the mausoleum come to be there if he was not dead? If it was a family built one then other bodies were in there as well. Very strange story - has the clock been found I wonder?
seen a few ghosts in my day
Kristina Mikkelson Casanova me too - even felt some on what they call the cold-shoulder after someone close has passed - creepy stuff. I don't like ghosts and not what they get up to - is pure evil
same here makes your hair stand on end brrrrrrrrrrrr
Bernard Coldwell he must of had his plot already built and paid for, way before he died.
the jumpscare was a dickmove
NEM CRANE I for one agree because while I was watching the video I look away to play with some strings on my pillow and I look at the video to get fucking jumpedscared😠
You da shit man!!! Fantastic story!!
good timing
That SCP-106 jumpscare though!
Have visited both sites as I live in Tally.I feel a lot of journalistic license and conjecture went into this video. He was most likely an older lonely man.The clock tower could be seen from train station .So he may have been doing a public service by building it.
That hexagram is what??? Look like a star.
Hi Praveen sir
Plz visit elphanta caves near Mumbai
This caves are same as kailasha temple ellora
This onez really spooky ... such a scary story ... My God 😊
I wonder what time it was when he walked in there and died
Did they check Ebay for the missing skull?
This is no surprise......my great great grandfather knew his death time too
4;15 what are those green stems? It can't be flowers. You would see the flower part, not just the stems....
did you smoke it? all of it?
what a messed up story. I live in Tallahassee back in the 1970's when Phillips story was told just pryer to his old house being demolished, yep do the research, it came down w/o any spooky activity. They also ran a story on his tomb. As you sais it was beautiful door and all. I am very angry someone broke into the tomb and stole his skull, how very evil of someone to do. This crap of him being a vampire and all is so disrespectful to the dead. He lived and he contributed to his community and died. I can not remember if he had a family there or not but out of respect people should not defile the tomb or belittle him or his memory. PERIOD!
Sir please make video on Nicholas tesla
my kids grandfather is named Calvin, and so was mine, the irony...... aaaaaah daaaaah.
EHEHEHHEH WHY WITH THE JUMP SCARES D;
I KNOW RIGHT AND IM BY MYSELF ON MY BED TOO
Have you heard about Skull and Bones?
Did he have a reputation for losing his head?
Er dah ! the body aint much good without the skull that's why that song was written "i aint got no body" igot a million of them
4:28 I don't think this guy knows what the purpose of a Mausoleum is. It's a family crypt. That's why only the last name is on it. Nobody puts death dates on the outside of these structures… at least not back then. You place the casket(with memorial plaque attached to the casket lid) inside and seal the door. When the next family member dies you open it up, put their casket in and seal it back up. It's size is not uncommon and it certainly isn't the first one in Fl... where are you getting your source material?
Nov as 11 and dated 19 year 1919 😲
The Mausoleum is old and yeah spooky looking. And you got grave robberies.
This mausoleum must have been cheaply made. It looks like crap, falling apart and it's less than 100 years old.
I love this video. Cool stuff I never knew. I live not too far from this. It’s a shame people can’t let the dead rest. It’s the sensationalist culture we live in that desensitizes some youth to the point of the desecration of normally sacred places.
Why was there a casket in the mausoleum already?
He built the place & probably wanted his casket ready to go, too. From what I read, he used to take naps in there so I guess the casket was more comfortable than the floor.
Your videos are amazing but Pls avoid Scary images like the Vampire gif in this video... Else the video is great.
LMAO.
Очень интересно и необычно!
nice lil ritual before 9/11
notice death date was 11/9/1919 or 9/11/1919
The fact that he died of natural causes does not rule out suicide. 100 years ago there was no way to determine someone's cause of death with the same accuracy as today. The man was obsessed with time, so maybe he wanted his date of death to fall on that particular day, especially since the number 19 symbolizes completion, an end and a new beginning. From what little there is known about this man, it sounds an awful lot like a planned suicide, although I'm at a loss regarding the stories that occurred after his death.
right
The fellow's skull is probably on top of the sissy bar of some bikers Harley.
So he wasn't embalmed???? Horseshit
It was 1919. Simpler times that may not have called for embalment. Who knows what burial laws were in effect in FL, if any, during those days. Or if most parlors even had embalming means back then.
call my undertaker in 1910? OK
the skull may have been took for practicing necromancy the blackest of the black arts.
Easy breezy George and weezy.
Christopher Walken comes to mind.
Yes?,....no?......?
yes
His cadence yes!
He could have been living there and knew he was dying of cancer,he may have been broken hearted or a orphan. I know he must have made a lot of money. Maybe he lived by another name,a bank robber or theif that had a guilty conscious ! I would check Gamblers of that day,especially horse racing! The best place to hide something right in front of you! I notice the top,I suspect India,then the design,and a home with a click tower,hum? He fits the description of Salvador Dolli and Sal was a lonely artist that had his heart broken in the 1880's .
creepy stuff
That’s a Star of David ✡️
he went to his grave on time, crawled into his casket on time, and died on time, because he knew what time it was. Time to Die.
If he had an obsession with time.....what if he's a time traveller!?
+Ulquiorra PerSonaZ Good point. How can a house just "disappear" = sinkhole ?
+Cyclops8888 "Calvin Phillips’ property eventually passed into the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Blaine, who in turn gave the house and clock tower to the Florida Heritage Foundation. Efforts to restore the unusual landmark proved prohibitively expensive, and it was torn down in the 1980s. Phillips’ mausoleum still stands in Oakland Cemetery, a lasting monument to his unique contribution to Tallahassee’s architectural history."
Should have googled before claiming the structure "disappeared".
Cyclops8888 Well mine was just an opinion, yours are cold hard facts :o good job finding them though. You sir, made my life easier :)
It is spooky !!!!
sounds similar to the movie john carter check it out !
LOL He must have been a time lord.
My late husbands birthday....
Chris griffin
322....skull and bones society.....
It looks cool
Kind of human sacrifice...
Nonsense
I'm pretty sure that's the star of David and not a pentagram Even if it was a pentagram it's Wiccan not devil worship etc.
He said hexagram
Pretty clever bones and skull worship entity contact science formula mission thank you
👍👍👍
WHY THE SKULL, EITHER FOR THE FACT THAT IT'S A POWERFUL OBJECT IN MANY PAGAN SPIRITUAL BELIEFS FROM VOUDOU TO WITCHCRAFT TO SATANISM. OR IT'S TAKEN AS A SOVEINER BY THE UNBELIEVERS.i FAVOR THE SECOND BECAUSE A SECRET ACQUISITION IS THE MOST POWERFUL OFF ALL,ONLY DABBLERS WOULDN'T OF COVERED THEIR TRACKS....
You said a" pentagram" in blood. What you showed was a Jewish star of David. Those are 2 DIFFERENT symbols. Star of Davis has 6 points and a pentagram has 5.
He said hexagram
😎👍
❤👍👏👏
So in 1919 the Undertaker "called" the authorities?? lol This story is total BS
P
dar lag raha bc , raat main dekh raha hoon , aur akele ,
effect bhi daal diye daraavne se
"Most people would die to have all their information etched on the walls". Ha Ha Ha, well of course, dummy! It's called an epitaph.
Remember john Carter of earth
aawooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say. * FIx it UP!* it falling apart.
Hollow Truth : a low intensity pressure washer would do wonders
lol
Dude is this a made up story?
I mean really?
This is full of lies. Google, people!
ba ba ba ba BULLSHIT
And the award for most annoying voice goes to...
