When my great great grandmother got married she was gifted a slave...My grandmother gave her her freedom immediately...The slave said where could I go?...Can I please stay...She said yes and had a little house built on 5 acres for her on the property...The slave married and lived there all of her life...Her children inherited the property....Story goes, she was my Great Great Grandmother's BEST friend through all of her life and they are buried next to each other...May all the souls buried in that cemetery rest in peace...You are my favorite cemetery storyteller...You have the knack to make every story intriguing...Many blessings to you and all of your loved ones...Stay safe...Much love...
@@dawnmartz8483 Her best friend...They lay next to each other with the husbands by their sides...Children at their feet...It's in Isle of Youth, Cuba...My great great grandmother's name was Gertrudis and the slave girl's name is Blanca...My grandmother told me the story and made me promise that I would pass it down to my grandchildren...So that if ever we could return to the island we would go pay our respects to their graves...Blessings...
@@sev6379 A good catholic would kind of disagree with you. In order to be capable of seeing God directly, one has to be baptised. Baptism forgives original sin, and all personal sin that you might have committed. Baptism also provides the soul with the supernatural virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. They are poored into the soul at the moment of baptism. Virtues that no man can possess or aquire by natural means. The unbaptised children will not go to heaven to see God directly, they will go the Limbus puerorum, that is a place where there is no suffering, and it used to be called the childrens heaven. It is a natural place. After the Last Judgement, pronounced by Jesus Christ, and this is what most traditional theologians agree upon, the souls of these children will live on this earth, re-united to their physical bodies, and the earth will be turned into a magnificent Paradise, just like the one in which Adam and Eve lived happily. A Garden of Eden. They will remain united to God by love, but they will not see Him directly.
@joni3503 I choose to believe what I want and that is, God would not punish kids or babies. Don't really care what people wrote. I follow my heart and what my heart tells me because that's where my God dwells. Isn't it great that we are allowed and are free to believe as we choose. ❤
A 12 year old is trafficked, she is not a prostitute. Prostitute insinuates she chose the profession. A minor cannot choose, they are groomed and trafficked into it.
The slave story was excellent! At least that man was good to her! And more or less, looked after her! A sad time in our history. Another great story, Lamont! Thank you!
It is still going on sadly. Sex trafficking has mostly young girls as victims. Some have been found at the southern border, who were younger than 10. My cousin, a psychiatric nurse, has cared for several.
The town my parents grew up in, there is the town prostitute that's buried in the cemetery as you come into town. Her grave is the first grave as you come into town and the last as you leave. She wanted the town's women to have to go by her anytime they left town or came into town. The women refused to acknowledge her if she walked by and spoke. She lived to be in her 80's. I think she died when my dad was a kid.
Fascinating walk through history, thank you Lamont. You have such a big heart. The story of the 12 year old girl who was " sold " ,then freed , ....just broke my heart...
Again l love the stories you tell about the history and the people. Don't ever stop talking about the victims, I've said before you talk for those who can't speak for themselves. Bless you Mr. Lamont.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love these stories Lamont. They’re important for all of us here who care about other people. I think that’s why you have a loving and compassionate group of subscribers.
Thank you for being a storyteller! I love the information and the fact that you don't wish to see history eradicated. We can't learn from our mistakes if our mistakes have been erased. Everyone loves a good storyteller and you are one of the very best.
In the UK at that time it was very common and normal for people to go to the cemetery and have picnics/walks there like it was a normal park today. This was mainly cus cemeteries often had nice maintained lawns and often was the only available park space in the area
12:38 " Little Frank , 21 months in 1879 " Beautiful ! I love simplicity in life and this graveyard is . Thanks Lamont for showing us . Have a nice day !
My mother grew up in Missouri (Sullivan County) and I've been to Kansas City, KS and MO many, many times in the past for personal visits and business. There are definitely parts you want to stay out of, just like any other big city. You're such a great storyteller, Lamont!! So many of these stories are very sad and/or creepy, but you always handle them so well - I could listen to you for hours!! Be safe out there!!
I use to enjoy ghost stories and urban legends as a kid, they scare the hell out of me. As I’ve gotten older, the real life horror stories are way more frightening .
Thank you for letting me stroll with you thru that very beautiful and serene cemetary. Love listening to you tell the stories and history of that area. I will probably never be able to get there in person. Great video, keep up the great work and stay safe!! Also, love your sense of humor!!
The little girl story is so bitter sweet , the man who bought and saved her sounds of Irish origin his name Kearney , pronounced ‘Karney ‘ is a very prominent Irish surname even nowadays. , Rest In Peace to all
I don't think it was a haunting according to what Lamont said...It was an APPEARANCE that only happened one time...I tend to think it was the Madam's conscience and that the little girl never even appeared to her...This little girl went straight to heaven when she passed...
I been trying to watch this for the last two evenings. I been so busy with life! Finally, I was able to finish watching it! I can fall asleep listening to your stories... You're the best at doing what you do. Thanks Lamont.🙏🏾💛 Stay safe...
There was a 🇬🇧 TV Series that talks about the Body Snatchers. He mentioned them. It was rather fascinating. Karma too for them as, if you were executed back then, you were given over for anatomy classes.
Graveyards have always fascinated me. I enjoy walking through them looking at the history. I used to do Tombstone rubbings years ago. Thank you Lamount for sharing this child's story! Safe travels❤
I love Urban legends ! Here in Southwestern Virginia we had thieves that would dig up Soldiers just steal their service medals. So now a lot of funeral home will not list publicly where burial will be. Very Sad!! Thank you for taking Us along on another interesting walking adventure ! Be Safe and looking forward to the next !!
I lived in FNQ, Queensland, Australia years ago. When I lived in Mackay I heard flooding had been so bad one cyclone, Wet Season, in the last century, that coffins and bodies were washed out from the old cemetery.
We have a similar story in Chicago. For decades a cemetery is hunted by a woman who'd asked people for a ride and disappear in your car. I even have a cousin who claimed that the story happened to her in the early 2000s
I love hearing stories of the past...the people buried there and their gravestones are still in ok conditions despite many years ago...thank you for those interesting stories 🙂
I love hearing stories like this you get to see what it was like back then, which is a very different time than it is today. Alot of stories have to do with our nation's history as well. which I believe shaped this nation to what it is today. Thank you for sharing the video.😀😀😀😀
Thank you Lamont. I liked the stories. The one about the slave being freed was a beautiful ending! I wish she could of found her biological family. But she had a family in the end. 🌹
I’m glad that girl had a family in the end. The girl that haunts the cemetery, may still be there, depends if you believe ,,,,. Thanks Lamont, good to see you. Xxx
Stay safe, Lamont 🙏 Your free spirit and TMH give you the passion for telling these stories. You have a gigantic ❤ Thank you so much. I appreciate and love your channel😊

Like to see someone anyone remembering the people that have past...Sometimes violent sometimes not, I but like too know about forgotten people ...Especially in this day and age . keep it up Lamont, A fan from Scotland
The body snatching back then before a new law was passed caused those with money to put a cage over their graves. The story of the little girl had me in tears! 😢
I love Irban Legends! 😊 It is always interesting to hear these stories! I love to hear you cover all sorts of stories, from historical, to tragic and even urban legends. I know a few. I'll send them your way! ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing all these interesting stories with us, as you always do Lamont. But, please watch out. Alot of bad storms going around the states. Stay safe!❤😊
I love urban legends stories and I love your tour through this beautiful graveyard! Thank you Lamont!! I love learning about who these people are I love to explore graveyards too
What I like about you Lamont is that you do stories that other people don't do i mean sometimes you cover what others do but for the most part your content is stuff i never heard of before and i really enjoy that. Thank you for your hard work
I never realised just how many people enjoy looking around gravestones until all these channels started popping up yrs ago doin the very thing I enjoy, I love hearing about their lives an then to see where they rest, thanks lamar please keep these stories coming and Hattie we remember you sweetheart ❤️ 😊🙏✨️⚘️

Not a 12 yr old prostitute… A 12yr. old child, victim.
Amen
Right
Well said ......and shame to the perpetrators of this little girl....
She was a 12 year old victim of sex trafficking. Point blank period. Don’t try to church it up.
@@stasiagoro8720 church it up is a stretch......
If such a girls actually existed I would hope God had mercy on her and took her to Heaven.
All children, no matter their religion go to heaven.
And let's hope that the people who abuse children go to the fiery pits of hell, if your God does that as well. Best wishes.

If that poor little girl was a prostitute I feel very sad that she had to do that to survive.😢
It still goes on today, all over the world.
It’s porn of the 1800th
Old profession in the world ..
Oh my goodness....this poor lil girl
A 12 year old is trafficked, she is not a prostitute. Prostitute insinuates she chose the profession. A minor cannot choose, they are groomed and trafficked into it.
I love hearing stories from the past but how horrible, they were such dark & eerie times.
All times are dark where humans are involved.
it’s dark and eerie times now …
@@tammykosiancicAll times are light where humans are.
The story of the slave girl was heart-warming. She found her freedom and a family.
Do Not Apologize Lamont! It is Wonderful that you’re making this video for us! Thank you and Be Safe! 🌺
Amen you said a mouthful
The slave story was excellent! At least that man was good to her! And more or less, looked after her! A sad time in our history. Another great story, Lamont! Thank you!

Every country had the same slave history. There were Black, Indian, Asian, Arab...slave owners too.

Absolutely! 💕
Awful things happened everywhere in the world back then and even now😪poor children. Thanks for sharing your vlog lamont 😘
Hello
@@ericfreshcorn3590 Hello
yes , poor children
That's why young girls need to get married off to older men so that they will be protected.
The 12 year old girl should be a kid and not a prostitute 😢

So true Donna ! And for me , someone who has never been in America , it's nice to see your graveyards . They are different from ours .
@@woutervanlent5181 I am fascinated with graveyards from everywhere. Each country is so different!!
@@woutervanlent5181you should share your own cemeteries with us, or Lamont. Maybe he would educate us through you!
Lamont is a great storyteller. People tell me I’m a good storyteller but he’s better than I am.
In the UK at that time it was very common and normal for people to go to the cemetery and have picnics/walks there like it was a normal park today. This was mainly cus cemeteries often had nice maintained lawns and often was the only available park space in the area

"12 Year Old" & "Prostitute" in the Same sentence Literally makes my Heart and Soul Hurt!!

Me two he's voice... so relaxing
I use to enjoy ghost stories and urban legends as a kid, they scare the hell out of me. As I’ve gotten older, the real life horror stories are way more frightening .
It would be fantastic if you did more ghost stories ❤
Agree with you. But i think it will be difficult for him because he is not in to it
But yeah could be cool
That young was basically rescued out of slavery, adopted as a beloved stepdaughter and given a weekly allowance, with basic chores. God blessed her.
Thank you for letting me stroll with you thru that very beautiful and serene cemetary. Love listening to you tell the stories and history of that area. I will probably never be able to get there in person. Great video, keep up the great work and stay safe!! Also, love your sense of humor!!
Lamont is very talented I Just Love what he does he also has a very caring Heart much Love ♥️✌️Be safe out there.
You're wise to let the spirits be. Thanks for sharing the story of the slave girl. I always love hearing about beauty coming out of ugliness.
The little girl story is so bitter sweet , the man who bought and saved her sounds of Irish origin his name Kearney , pronounced ‘Karney ‘ is a very prominent Irish surname even nowadays. , Rest In Peace to all
❤🙏
If she really haunts it her soul isn't at rest yet may God angels guide her to the light
I don't think it was a haunting according to what Lamont said...It was an APPEARANCE that only happened one time...I tend to think it was the Madam's conscience and that the little girl never even appeared to her...This little girl went straight to heaven when she passed...
It was nothing more than folklore. A story like that would’ve been written about/documented.
I been trying to watch this for the last two evenings. I been so busy with life! Finally, I was able to finish watching it! I can fall asleep listening to your stories... You're the best at doing what you do. Thanks Lamont.🙏🏾💛 Stay safe...
Old urban legends are fun to listen to, and with your unique flair they’re even better. Do more plz.
Great tour Lamont. A Revolution soldier grave. Urban legends yes I think some are true.
Reminds me of “Lolita”. This stuff happened so much, sadly. Still does. Children are used. Makes me sick. Thank you Lamont❤️
Here in the 🇬🇧 we had 2 'famous' grave robbers called Burke and Hare, they used to suppy medical training schools and were eventually caught
Yes! Ron over at FOTF has done a series of videos on grave robbers, and he talks about Burke and Hare.
There was a 🇬🇧 TV Series that talks about the Body Snatchers. He mentioned them. It was rather fascinating. Karma too for them as, if you were executed back then, you were given over for anatomy classes.
I love the research you do. Your knowledge of history is great.
Love when you do the historical stories. Definitely do more civil war tales. So interesting and the way you tell them. ❤ from the UK.
Graveyards have always fascinated me. I enjoy walking through them looking at the history. I used to do Tombstone rubbings years ago. Thank you Lamount for sharing this child's story! Safe travels❤
Grave robbing bodies used to educate medical students too. In UK there was a team known for this in 18th C.
Ghost stories and lore go hand in hand with graveyard visits. Please share more.
I love Urban legends ! Here in Southwestern Virginia we had thieves that would dig up Soldiers just steal their service medals.
So now a lot of funeral home will not list publicly where burial will be. Very Sad!!
Thank you for taking Us along on another interesting walking adventure !
Be Safe and looking forward to the next !!
So awful.They died for those that stole those medals
Lamont, Cemetaries are full of history; thank you for bringing them to life.
Hi Lamont. I love a good ghost story. Thank you for sharing 😀👍❤
Prayers for the people thanks for the history lesson and video and story!
I lived in FNQ, Queensland, Australia years ago. When I lived in Mackay I heard flooding had been so bad one cyclone, Wet Season, in the last century, that coffins and bodies were washed out from the old cemetery.
You are wonderful for telling these stories. Thank you so much. ❤
Your grandmother was truly an angel on earth! God bless her!
Libby is a nickname for Elizabeth especially in the old days 😮❤
Rip that innocent 12 yr girl 😢 hopefully she is at peace and is in heaven
Love the stories Lamont. God bless

Sounds like resurrection Mary.
Yes, Resurrection Mary.
Bless the volunteers!
You have such a wonderful story telling voice.
I got my beer stolen out of my car one time while visiting someone in a cemetery.
I love hearing stories of the past...the people buried there and their gravestones are still in ok conditions despite many years ago...thank you for those interesting stories 🙂
Thanks for visiting KC! Union Cemetery is definitely worthy of a peaceful stroll...
Still good to be on these side lawn with LaMont. You are a National Treasure here on UA-cam!!
Please keep on keeping on with what you do best!!
You are a compassionate person and it can spill over to others.
Lamont, these are the stories for novels and movies and biographies. Thank you ad always!

Of this young girl a story far and few between but still a great story none the less. Thank you Lamont
WOW what a great man who took this little girl and gave her a life 🙏
Thank you Lamont. I liked the stories. The one about the slave being freed was a beautiful ending! I wish she could of found her biological family. But she had a family in the end. 🌹
That was such a nice history of the man who bought the slave girl and set her free. I bet that family had the best helper ever. ❤️
My great great grandfather was a Fisk. Charles Fisk to be exact. Born 1806, died 1881. His son added an e to Fisk, making it Fiske.
I SO super dig old, urban legend stories, Lamont. As always, VERY interesting. Thank You for the upload.🐈🐈

Love urban legends! Looking forward to more. 😊
Wow Lamont, great accounts of those passed on. Thank you for relaying.
If this story actually happened it was probably medical students.
Right here in Boston, Ma Harvard medical school. Missing bodies sold from the workers. Sick right?
@@carolyncruse5495Sick and twisted
Burke and Hare
100% correct.
No ghost stories involved here lol
Or Necromancy lmao
I live in Missouri and there's also St. Louis and St. Louis extends over the bridge into Illinois.
I really, really enjoyed this, I could have listened to you for hours.

Appreciate your time spent educating me on the history I dispised in school 😅 I enjoyed ancient history ❤
Glad she had a family. The man that bought her. Sounds like a decent individual. Stay safe Lamont
Lamont, I love these videos. You do an amazing job finding history of these random graves. There is history everywhere.

"Gathering your thoughts at 3 am. in a cemetery, " Now that's a first😂😂😂
I would definitely like a Bloody Bill story. Take your time. I can wait but please do it!
