Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well, hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another
Deep Wits paranormal podcast. My name is Matt Harvey. I
am the founder and lead investigator with Deep Wits Paranormal.
I am also the owner of the Deep Wits Panormal
podcast and the host as well. So today we are
going to talk about haunted famous cemeteries in the United States. Now,
(00:36):
I know we have viewers from all over the world,
and you're Cohen, Matt. You know your cemeteries are just
babies compared to ours. You know, we've got cemeteries that
are also famous and way more haunted than yours, and
I completely understand that. And again, if you want to
leave your comment down below as we go through the cemeteries,
and you know, tell us about yours, we'd love to
(00:56):
hear about it. So let's get into these haunted cemeteries.
This also follows up on the haunted bridges we did
from last week. So we're gonna talk about five famous
haunted cemeteries and then there's so many more haunted cemeteries
in the US and of course around the world, but
we're going to focus in on these because these are
(01:17):
the most popular. Okay, So first one is the Saint
Louis Cemetery, and this is in New Orleans, Louisiana. The
Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in
Los Angeles, California. I've been there many times. I had
(01:37):
a few fun experiences, and we'll talk about that in
just a minute. The Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Illinois, and
the Howard Street Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts. Now, I mean
that one. If you're not perking your ears on that one,
you're like, what, that's where the Salem woodshells happened. Yes,
So if you're into the paranormal and you've reached the paranormal,
(02:01):
or he's just a fan of the paranormal, you know
that one's probably gonna be pretty interesting. So we're gonna
break all that down in just a minute. Here, we're
gonna discuss why I feel like cemeteries are being haunted.
You know, there's a lot of energy and grief and
tragedy and rituals and burials that happened at these cemeteries.
(02:25):
I remember being at a mortuary and getting permission to
actually do an investigation at you know, one of these mortuaries,
and this gentleman unfortunately had just just passed recently. He
was having surgery, very young guy, probably in his thirties,
(02:45):
and unfortunately he had I guess they nicked an artery
while they were doing surgery on him, and they couldn't
stop the bleeding and he passed away. So we were
sitting there and we were focused on him. We were
focused just on the location and k t's. We said
(03:06):
we were allowed to set our KT's on top of
his coffin, you know, his temporary coffin, and so essentially,
as basically he was being prepared to be buried, he
starts sliding up the KT's and we're trying to figure
out what's going on. And the gentleman that was with
(03:27):
us basically kind of giving us the kind of tour,
told us about his story and it's pretty sad, and
he was really the gentleman that best way, was really
really upset that that happened to him. He was not
happy about what was going on, and he was not
ready to leave yet. So I mean, when these people
(03:49):
get buried, you know, that's kind of what happens. I mean,
he might be haunting the cemetery that he's in right now,
So who knows? Okay? Common goes uh basically seen in
in UH cemeteries, women in white, phantom children, and then
special animals sometimes you know, our hauntings tied to restless
(04:13):
spirits or the livings expectations, meaning when you go to
the cemetery, you know, are you expecting to see something there?
Is it? And this is for your skep and the
skeptics out there. You guys are gonna love me for
just a second here, But you know, is it all
in your head? Is basically when you go there, are
(04:34):
you expecting to see something so badly that you manifest
something in your own head and your You might be
experiencing activity just through your own manifestation of whatever you
think you're expecting to see, you know. So, like I said,
I've been to many cemeteries before. We used to go
(04:56):
to the San Juan Capistronum Cemetery and we used to
just see shadows just darting around. We couldn't go in, unfortunately.
We would stand at the wall and look over and
I mean we would see shadows bouncing around all over place.
Sometimes if we were lucky, we had our k two
sitting on top of the wall. Something would come over
(05:17):
and actually essentially light up our K twos. You know.
My very first experience with a cemetery came when I
was a little kid. We had gone up north northern
California to visit a old neighbor and I was probably
five or six. I wasn't very old, and at that
point in time, I was still seeing ghosts like there
(05:38):
you and me, and we were playing hide and seek,
and it was it was dusk, it wasn't dark, it
wasn't you know, full light. The sun was just starting
to go down, and there was a lot of shadows
everywhere because of the sun going down. So I had
the bright idea. There was a symmth. They had their house,
you know, on one side the street, and there was
(05:59):
a hugeary on the other side. So I think we
kind of all ran into the cemetery. But essentially I ran.
I was running through and I'm running and running and
running and seemed like forever, and all of a sudden,
I run past this guy and he's just sitting there
leaning on a shovel essentially, and he looks at me
(06:19):
and he goes, son, where are you going? And I'm like, oh, no,
I'm in trouble, right, I got I'm getting in trouble.
He goes, you know, what are you doing? And I'm like,
we're playing hide and seek. He goes, oh, we'll go
high behind that headstone over there. So I did as
I was told because I was six and I didn't
know any better. So run over behind the cemetery, I
(06:42):
mean behind the grave, and I'm sitting there looking at it.
I turned around to look at him. He's gone. I mean,
I'm in the middle of the cemetery. If he had
walked off, I only walked ran about four or five steps.
It was not very far, maybe ten feet. He could
not have gotten away that quickly. He just disappeared. And
so we had some other experiences when we were staying
(07:05):
with them that night. But anyways, have you guys ever
been to a haunted cemetery? Do you guys? You know?
Feel free to share your your stories down below. Leave
a comment, love to hear your stories. Tell us you
know what your your theories are on haunted cemeteries. You know,
(07:26):
would you spend the night and one of these cemeteries?
Which do you think is the scariest. So we'll ask
you at the end. What I'll do is I'll put
up a poll in the on the YouTube channel and
you guys can go through and look and see what
you guys think. So, okay, let's get into the cemeteries. Okay,
So number one is the Saint Louis Cemetery. So this
(07:51):
is in Louisiana, and it's the home of the voodoo
queen Mary the vew. Sorry if I'm miss pronouncing that.
In a variety of other paranormal experiences have happened in
this location. This cemetery is supposed to be very very haunted.
Hold on one that guys want to take a sip
in my water, all right, all right, So there's a
(08:18):
haunted figure that visitors and guests reports seeing the ghost
of Mary Levu walking around the tombs is supposedly her
operation is sometimes seeing wearing her signature red and white turban,
and she's also seen wearing brightly colored clothing before she disappears.
And guests say that Levi's spirit is not always friendly.
(08:44):
She said to pinch people, She scratches people, knocks them down,
and you know, but these people are the people that
are being disrespectful to her. And so if you're a
skeptic and you go into the cemetery, be careful. You
don't want to disrespect her. She was a queen, so
we do not want to upset her in any way.
(09:05):
So anyways, and there's also sounds of whispering and sounds
of people basically talking. People have interacted with Lover's term,
particularly leaving offerings and they hear claim to hear her
(09:26):
disbodied voice in their ears. They leave offerings such as flowers, manigras, beads,
coins at our tomb. It's a it's believed that basically,
if if you leave a traditional X on her tomb,
turn around and knock, she will give you a wish
(09:48):
to be granted, you know, while defacing the tomb. The
practice yeah, blah blah blah. Anyways, so they say that
basically if you if you put an X on her
tomb and you do the ritual, she might actually grant
you a wish, which is pretty nice. A lot of
(10:08):
people seem to leave her offerings and stuff like that,
and she doesn't manifest from time to time, so they've
claimed that in this cemetery. They also see many other
apparitions wandering in the cemetery grounds. From shadowy figures to
fandom shapes that move through the labyrinth of above ground
(10:30):
tombs both day and night. So in Louisiana, it floods
a lot, and when it floods, the tombs basically flood
as well. And you know, imagine a bunch of soft
dirt and it flooding consistently like in Katroon and stuff
like that, and all that, all those bodies basically being
(10:54):
washed up out of the ground, so they put them
inside tombs to basically keep them from floating away. You know,
I can't imagine, you know, in the middle of you know,
the storm, all of a sudden you stee a coffin
float by. So anyways, Civil War soldiers are spotted and
believed to be the ghost and basically they died of
(11:17):
yellow fever. They were buried in the cemetery spectral animals,
it says. Some ghost stories describe a large, ghostly black
dog that protects the cemetery grounds at night and scares
away trespassers. So, you know, again take that with a
grain of salt. They could actually be a real dog,
(11:38):
or it could just be a devil dog, you know,
So we got to watch out for that. Cemeteries, especially
at night. Negative things tend to come out of cemeteries
at night and mess with people. A lot of ghost
hunters that go into these cemeteries and not a lot
of but some ghost hunters that go into the cemeteries,
(12:00):
UH do bring home apparitions and negative entities. They'd like
to do them harm. So you gotta be careful when
you leave the cemetery. Again, I always say, you know,
you got to clear yourself. And if you guys want
to know more about that, feel frey calm down, comment
down below and I'll get into that in a specific video.
So this results are reported unexplained occurrences, including electronic voice phenomenon,
(12:25):
which is just doing EVP And if you don't know
what EVP is, that's when you record audio with your
phone or audio recording device and you listen back. It
could even be a video camera. Get we've got e
vps on video cameras too before where you listen back
and there's actually a voice that you didn't hear before.
(12:46):
And so they're seeing orbs and photos now, I know
for my ORB fans and you're like, yeah, that's great,
and for my other fans that go awa and then
we don't do orbs again. You know, that could be
just opened to turn into interpretation if I could talk.
So there's disembodied cries and an unknown stranger who walks
(13:09):
around as well, so other resident spirits that people have experienced.
Henry Vidnis, the ghost of a sailor. He is said
to roam the cemetery. Supposedly he was denied burial in
his family's tomb, and so essentially now he's roaming around
(13:30):
asking visitors for where the location of the tomb is
so he can go home. And he got a feel
for him, he's probably feeling pretty sad. Goose momps. There's
a freezing cold spot behind me. I had last time
I did this guy's out of the ghost box on
and it went terribly. They were trying to come through,
(13:52):
and a few voices did come through when I was
talking about one of the cemeteries and yeah, so but
we couldn't quite understand her and it was just a
lot of screaming and yeah, which was not very clear.
So I'm doing this again this way, all right, So
Dephanie lalar Lolari, excuse me. She's the infamous social alleged
(14:15):
Silla Curller She's supposedly buried in the cemetery, and her
tomb is also said to be haunted, and there's some
dispute whether she actually is there. The first mirror of
the New Orleans is also buried here, and he is
said to linger in roam the cemetery. So anyways, this
(14:39):
cemetery sounds really cool. This is one of the ones
I've not been to a man, and I went to
a cemetery in Louisiana. You guys, come back and look
at that video and watch that. While we walked around
during the day and tried to communicate with whatever is there.
I don't remember we got any evidence or not, but
it definitely felt like there were some entities that were
(15:00):
still there. The cemetery we walked through, it was really
really well taken care of. It was beautiful. So okay,
let's move on to the next one, all right, So
Resurrection Cemetery and Justice Illinois legendary Resurrection Mary. Okay, So yeah,
we'll talk. We'll get into the resurrection and Mary here
(15:20):
in a minute. She's a hitchhiking ghost that people see
on one of the roads out there, and I'll get
into her story in just a minute. Here, So okay,
So basic resolution Mary. The story typically begins with a
young woman named Mary who's out for a dance at
dance at the old Henry Ballroom. I guess later News
(15:46):
is basically located on Archer Avenue. Bear with me, guys,
I'm just kind of scanning through these. I don't want
to get hit with a copyright infringement, so I'm basically
just kind of reading through this as I go. So, so,
I guess she got into an argument with her boyfriend.
She left the dance and wanted to hitchhike homb and
(16:07):
she was in a white party dress and it was
a cold night. As she was walking, she was struck
and hit by a hit run driver. And she's actually
said to be buried at the Resurrection Cemetery and that's
what gives the ghost its name. So okay. Mary is
(16:28):
described as a fashionable young blonde in her mid twenties.
She's wearing a white wedding gown or sorry, a white dress.
We have a lot of women in white that would
you know, are seen all over the place, sometimes with
a shawl and dancing shoes. Those who have seen her
basically says she has like a real pale appearance. So
(16:51):
since the nineteen thirties, what happens is people drive by,
are usually men, and they pick her up and she
hitchhikes along Archer Avenue, and then as the car gets
near the gates of the cemetery, she asked me let out,
and then just disapears in the thin air, which is
creepy cool. Oh my good, I am getting goosewamps. They
(17:14):
are love with my story. Something standing right behind me,
all right, So beyond the benshing hitchhiker they've been associated
with this cemetery, there's the bent cemetery gates, I guess.
In the nineteen seventies it was reported that a passerby
saw a young woman trapped inside the cemetery, and after hours,
(17:34):
when the police investcaated, she was nowhere to be seen.
But the wrought iron gate bars actually were bent apart
bearing her, you know, basically bearing her ghostly handprints. Well,
cemetery officials claim the truck was responsible. The incident fueled
(17:56):
the legend. And then there's also a car phantom car crash.
Some drivers are reported hitting or nearly hitting a young
woman in the road near the cemetery. Only heard a
body disappear when they stop to check make sure she's okay.
So yeah, just crazy. So Mary the young Polish. There's
(18:23):
some other people that have been buried in the cemetery.
Supposedly Mary uh Ba bregav This is a young Polish
American woman. She died in nineteen thirty in a car
accident in downtown Chicago, but her connection to the legend
(18:44):
has been largely discredited. Okay, so they're saying that's been discredited,
so that could be where the little woman they've seen
dying in front of the cemetery is and stuff like that.
So there's just a few more things. You guys, come
in here and look at these your own. We'll continue on.
So all right. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
(19:10):
Bear was mention another drink. So the Hollywood Forever Cemetery
is basically the resting place of a lot of celebrities,
lots and lots of celebrities. It's a beautiful cemetery, really
well taken care of. They do have like movies in
the cemetery. I don't remember what the days are. I
(19:31):
don't even if they're still doing it, but I know
we went there a couple of times during that and
we kind of left and went and investigated on our
own and stuff like that. We were working with a
producer at that point, and so anyways, so the Hollywood
Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles is the final resting place
for a lot of celebrities. It's also famous for numerous
(19:52):
paranormal reports and ghost stories. Visitors and staff have seen
ghostly figure, particularly near the mausoleums where most of the
legendary stars have been entombed. So once get into this,
Randolph Valentino, he was the silent film guy from back
(20:16):
in the nineteen twenties. I believe he's also buried in
this mausoleum, and he's been allegedly seen wander in the grounds,
and mysterious Lady in Black reported visits his crypt nearly
every year. So essentially it sounds like maybe his ex
wife or whatever comes to visit him and stuff like that.
(20:41):
That's the story of love, which is beautiful. Virginia Rape
Rape was a silent film actress who tragically died following
a party involving actor Roscoe Fatty Airbuckle. He created a
major Hollywood scandal. So that's fine. Anytime you got a
(21:04):
scandal in Hollywood, Uh yeah, there's always going to be
ghost attributed to it. So they see, they say, they
claim to see her basically visiting a Valentina's crypt. So
maybe that's Lady in Black Okay, Clifton Webb. He's also
(21:24):
known for his roles in Laura and the Razor's Edge on.
He's said to cause disturbances such as unexplained the noises
and cold spots near his crypt. The other Lady in Black, Uh,
she's frequently seen there, Valentine Yew. They basically repeating the
same thing. Uh. So the cemeteries, ornate and historic mausoleums,
(21:47):
including the Cathedral Mausoleum and the aby Abbey of Psalms
are basically the most haunted places. Again, guys, bear with me.
I'm trying not to do anything copyright issues here, have
any copyright issues by reading this word for words, So
(22:08):
I'm just kind of putting my own words in here
from time to time. So people are experiencing unexplained noises,
They're hearing disembodied voices whispering, mister's footsteps echoing through the
long marble line halls. I explain experienced that We hung
out there for at least an hour or two and
(22:30):
we heard like somebody walking around. We thought. We think
we heard whispering too. At one point we tried to
we were recording the whole time audio video. We didn't
pick it up. We could definitely hear it, and then
we experienced cold spots throughout the whole cemetery as well.
We don't think we got a whole lot of evidence
(22:51):
from there, if any at all, but we definitely had
a lot of personal experiences. I think somebody got touched,
somebody saw an apparition, but we never we didn't get
it on camera unfortunately. So okay, So reports describe shadowy
figures translated in shapes and fully of full body operations
(23:12):
of people in period clothing wandering the mausoleum. So they're
still having a great old time. See, there's some little
kids spirits that want the the cemetery is well. They
described feeling of being touched or hearing a phantom laughter.
(23:33):
We've been to many cemeteries and had that same thing.
Little kids seem to stay in cemeteries for some reason.
I don't know why or if they're even little little
kids at all. If you do go to cemeteries. I
will warn you to be very careful because sometimes what
you think is a little kid is not a little kid. Okay,
(23:57):
so they actually have tours here, ghost hunting events and
movie screenings. That's what I was talking about, So okay,
So yeah, that's the Hollywood Cemetery. It's a really cool place.
If you ever get the chance to visit to Los Angeles,
or you live in Orange County or California, somewhere in
California or the surrounding states and you do like to
investigate the paranormal, I would recommend if you can get
(24:17):
in there, go check it out. It's really a cool
cemetery if you're just not even if you're not into
the paranormal and you just really like famous celebrities and
stuff like that, it's just a really cool cemetery. The
headstones are amazing. You know, they've really put a lot
of time and effort into making just really cool headstones
(24:39):
for the people that passed. So all right, so let's
get into the next one. And this is the Bachelor's
Go Geez Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Illinois. Supposedly, it's largely
abandoned and over grown. Unfortunately, it's considered one of the
most haunted locations in the United States. In nineteen ninety one,
(25:06):
the ghost photo of Madonna Bachelorette Grove or the Lady
in White again, another Lady in White was seen that
they got a picture of her holding an infant. So
here's the picture, so you can kind of see her
sitting on a what looks like a stool, and she's
just basically sitting there. I don't know if this picture
(25:28):
is real or not. It's just an Internet picture, so
bear with me. And it really doesn't look like she's
really holding an infant. She looks like her hands are
just kind of in her lap. But that's a good
picture if it's it's real, okay, So let me talk
about the legend of the way Lady in White here.
She's a ghostly female female figure often called the Lady
(25:50):
in White or Madonna of Bachelor's Grove. She said to
wander the cemetery, sometimes recurring with an infant. Theories are
that she's to the grave due to infant her infant daughter,
while others suggest you could be Louis Rogers who died
with her children in a fire. So the photo was
(26:14):
actually taken in nineteen ninety one by the Ghost Research
Society of America. And basically I talked about this already,
so we go into that. You guys can go look
this stuff up if you want. You know, have you
visited the cemetery, you know, have you had any experiences there?
Did you get a picture? Did you get any have
any experiences? Again, Kiel free calment down below and let
(26:38):
us know. We'd love to hear from you. So other
famous paranormal reports in the cemetery. There's a phantom farmhouse,
which is really cool. It's one of the oldest reports
describing a phantom farmhouse that appears to float and shimmer
off in the distance before it it disappears. There's the
(27:02):
spectral animals that seems to be a theme with these cemeteries.
People have claimed to see a black dog at the
cemetery entrance and then it basically vanishes as they approach,
which is cool. Eerie lights, this is cool, I explained.
Glowing lights and orbs have been spotted around the cemetery.
(27:25):
Some of them describe them moving quickly, strange noises it sounds,
which is normal for cemetery. Large the sound of large
splashes from the pond that have no visible cause, and
there's also a crying baby near the infant daughter grave.
So that's where that lady of White ties into monks
(27:50):
in robes. In the eighteen hundred and nineteen eighties, some
visitor forded seeing figures dressed like monks and then basically
the that's pretty much all they have in here for this.
But it's interesting. Yeah, sounds a cool cemetery. Unfortunately, it's
another cemetery that has gone by the wayside and essentially,
(28:12):
you know, nobody's really taking care of it or whatever,
and unfortunately it's fallen into disarray. But I imagine if
people went out there, and maybe it's already happened, but
maybe if people went out there and cleaned that place
up and really put some energy back into that cemetery,
the activity and probably pick right back up. So I mean,
(28:35):
there's probably just a lot of unfinished business for these people.
That lady White, if she actually lost her kids, you know,
they could be why she's still rooming around and looking
for her kids. You know, she wants to know what
happened to them, Did they make it, did they not
make it? You know, So maybe she just never passed
(28:55):
over and doesn't know where her kids actually are. I mean,
imagine as a parent, if you've lost your kid and
you were frantically looking around. I mean, that would be
a reason for you to stay and want to figure
out what's going on. So I mean, I can you
can just you know, your heart just goes out to her.
All right, So let's get to the last one. Let
(29:16):
me get a quick sip again here, all right, Howard
Street Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts. And this is basically associated
with the Salem witch Trials. If you don't know what
the Salem witch Trials are back in the what is
(29:39):
it the sixteen hundreds, Okay, so let me just read
this to you and then also kind of cover the
story I was gonna tell. So the Howard Street Cemetery
is associated with the Salem witch Trials. It was the
field where the where a guyles Corey was suppressed to death,
(30:00):
and the sixteen ninety two that was what I was
looking for, was a date for that and the six
late sixteen hundreds. Essentially they accused a bunch of people
in Salem of being witches and there was just mass
hysteria going through this village and essentially they hung a
bunch of women for being witches, which was actually never
(30:22):
really proven that they were, and some kids just basically
accused a bunch of people of being witches. And back
in those days, that just wasn't you know, you weren't
allowed to do that. You weren't allowed to be a
witch in this village due to the religion, religious theories.
(30:44):
So anyways, this poor guy, they kept putting rocks and
rocks and rocks on top of him that he was
laying down and imagined just being crushed to death by
large rocks until you couldn't breathe, and basically, you know,
who knows what else happened to him. I'm sure it
was terrible, but they accused him of being a witch,
and basically until they kept putting more and more stones
(31:07):
on top of him until he, you know, basically said
he was a witch. And I don't think he actually
ever did, but I mean, imagine the trauma and all
the stuff associated with being crushed to death like that.
I mean, imagine how upset you had been, you know,
especially if you were wrongly accused. But so his spirit
(31:32):
is said to off the cemetery. This cemetery actually opened
in eighteen oh one, and visitors report cold spots, shadow people,
and ghostly screams. I can only imagine so after he
was pressed to death, basically his ghost has been seen
(31:54):
in an open field adjacent to the Salem Jail where
the eighty one year old Guyle Corey was tortured to
death and for the practice game of witchcraft. Corey never
yielded with his last words definally demanding more weight. So
(32:15):
basically he was just telling him to go ahead and
get it over with. So his spirit is said to
linger through the grounds of the modern cemetery the ghostly
o Women. Local lore claims that Corey's ghost has been
seen in Sicher just before a major disaster strikes in Salem.
(32:36):
Witnesses report seeing him before the Great Salem Fire of
nineteen fourteen, which devoured actually most of the town. Other
paranorm reports to the basically the Howard Street Cemetery, again
adjacent from the former Salem in jail, are cold spots.
(32:58):
Many people describe sudden local drops and temperature, which is
basically just a cold spot. If you don't know what
a cold spot is, essentially imagine if you're in a
nice warm house and then a draft kind of comes
in and it gets really cold real quick. That's basically
what that is. It's the theory behind a cold spot
(33:20):
is that, you know, there's just energy. The warmth is energy,
right cold there's also energy, it's a different type, but
there's this energy. This this You know, you're in a
nice warm room and all of a sudden, you know,
you're in an area where it's said to be haunted,
and all of a sudden, the air tempter around you
or maybe just you, just all of a sudden get
(33:41):
really really cold. The theory is that ghosts will drain
energy away from you or rain away from that area
to create energy for themselves to manifest in some way.
And by manifest I mean they can basically create a voice,
they can create an e VP, which I talked about earlier.
They might show themselves, you might catch a glimpse of something,
(34:04):
something might move, you might hear something, you might feel something,
you might have a vision. There's a lot of different
things manifestation could involve, but you guys kind of get
the general idea. So so there's witnesses that have reported
taking photographs of the mysterious shapes reported in the jail,
(34:29):
and basically they see a man who resembles the nineteenth
century gentleman with a top hat. So let me retire that.
So basically, witnesses have reported getting a photo of mysterious
shapes and reported seeing a man in the nineteenth century
(34:50):
clothing of the top hat. So basically he's seen by
the jail. And there's a lot of operations are seen
over by the jail, ghostly screams. I can only imagine,
I mean, if that's where they were hanging the witches
and stuff like that, you know, not the witches, but
(35:12):
the women accused of being the witches. You know, imagine
you're being pretty much murdered at that point in time,
and imagine the energy that you're feeling right beating right
before that happens. I mean cemeteries, Like I said, cemeteries
seem to hold a lot of energy when you go
(35:35):
through and and you go let's less just say that
you go into a cemetery, it doesn't matter which one,
and you pick a grave and or multiple graves, and
you don't may not know this person or maybe it's
somebody that you've lost, and you go back there and
you're just you know, you maybe you've just lost that
(35:55):
loved one or whatever, and you start pouring all of
this energy in that person, you know, and most of
it's probably sadness and upset and whatever else or missing
that person or whatever. All those emotions get poured into
that area, right, and you're creating an area of energy,
So that energy could be transferred to that person that
(36:17):
the ghost or whatever you want to call them, spectrum,
spectral figure or whatever they can be. They can absorb
some of that energy possibly and basically respond maybe in
a way like I said before, and manifest in some way.
And you know, when that energy is left, they could
(36:41):
affect the rest of the cemetery as well. Other operations
could come to that area just to see what's going on.
Maybe they are drawn to that energy. Who knows, but uh,
it's the same thing when we go and investigate. We
going in there and we asked, you know, question, and
we we talked to them, and we pay attention to
(37:04):
whoever we think we're trying to communicate with. That could
also draw energy back to that cemetery. And the more
energy you put into that, the more reactions you possibly
could get. And I think this goes back also into
the fact that you know, what are your expectations before
you go in again too, Are you expecting to see something?
(37:26):
Are you expecting to feel something? Are you expecting something
to happen? Like I said, for my skeptics, you know,
that could be part of why people experience so many
things in inside a cemetery. Now, both sides of that coin.
You know, again, if you're a skeptic, you're going, okay,
you're just expecting to see something. But also, you know,
(37:47):
if you're a believer or you're on the fence or
whatever and you experience something, it could just be that
you know that there is something really happening. You know, again,
energy you could just be meant. It could be man
for helping something manifest by going in there and communicating
with whoever. And there's a lot of famous ghosts that
(38:09):
get a lot of attention in these cemeteries, and so
people are constantly visiting these cemeteries and putting that energy
towards them. So it makes sense for them to be
more active and be more interactive because they maybe they
like that tension, you know, maybe they're they're happy that
somebody's actually paying attention to them and I think that's
(38:30):
what happens with with ghosts in general. And I'm getting
goosebumps from head to toe right now. You can see
the hair standing up on my arm. There's a freezing
cold spot behind me, like somebody's telling me you're right,
you're right. But anyways, so yeah, I mean, the more
energy you put into these things, whether it be like
(38:52):
the haunted dolls behind the other of objects or a
cemetery or a haunted location, the more attention that gave,
the more energy they get, I believe, the more easy
it is for them to manifest in some way. So
I'll leave you guys with that. Again, you guys are
really gonna make up your own mind as to what
you think is going on in these cemeteries. You know,
(39:15):
have you been to it? Like I said before, have
you been to haunted cemetery? Did you experience something out
of cemetery? Was it good? Was it bad? And feel
free to comment down below. And we're always looking for
a podcast guests. So if you've been, you know you're
a panormal guess figure if you're a paranormal investigator, or
you aren't a panormal investigator, which is just into this hobby.
(39:36):
Or you've you've went somewhere and you had an experience.
We'd love to hear about it again. Please comment down
below and contact us if you want, and we will
catch you guys on the next one. He in your mind,
Well, hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another
Deep Wits paranormal podcast. My name is Matt Harvey. I
am the founder and lead investigator with Deep Wits Paranormal.
I am also the owner of the Deep Wits Panormal
podcast and the host as well. So today we are
going to talk about haunted famous cemeteries in the United States. Now,
(00:36):
I know we have viewers from all over the world,
and you're Cohen, Matt. You know your cemeteries are just
babies compared to ours. You know, we've got cemeteries that
are also famous and way more haunted than yours, and
I completely understand that. And again, if you want to
leave your comment down below as we go through the cemeteries,
and you know, tell us about yours, we'd love to
(00:56):
hear about it. So let's get into these haunted cemeteries.
This also follows up on the haunted bridges we did
from last week. So we're gonna talk about five famous
haunted cemeteries and then there's so many more haunted cemeteries
in the US and of course around the world, but
we're going to focus in on these because these are
(01:17):
the most popular. Okay, So first one is the Saint
Louis Cemetery, and this is in New Orleans, Louisiana. The
Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in
Los Angeles, California. I've been there many times. I had
(01:37):
a few fun experiences, and we'll talk about that in
just a minute. The Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Illinois, and
the Howard Street Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts. Now, I mean
that one. If you're not perking your ears on that one,
you're like, what, that's where the Salem woodshells happened. Yes,
So if you're into the paranormal and you've reached the paranormal,
(02:01):
or he's just a fan of the paranormal, you know
that one's probably gonna be pretty interesting. So we're gonna
break all that down in just a minute. Here, we're
gonna discuss why I feel like cemeteries are being haunted.
You know, there's a lot of energy and grief and
tragedy and rituals and burials that happened at these cemeteries.
(02:25):
I remember being at a mortuary and getting permission to
actually do an investigation at you know, one of these mortuaries,
and this gentleman unfortunately had just just passed recently. He
was having surgery, very young guy, probably in his thirties,
(02:45):
and unfortunately he had I guess they nicked an artery
while they were doing surgery on him, and they couldn't
stop the bleeding and he passed away. So we were
sitting there and we were focused on him. We were
focused just on the location and k t's. We said
(03:06):
we were allowed to set our KT's on top of
his coffin, you know, his temporary coffin, and so essentially,
as basically he was being prepared to be buried, he
starts sliding up the KT's and we're trying to figure
out what's going on. And the gentleman that was with
(03:27):
us basically kind of giving us the kind of tour,
told us about his story and it's pretty sad, and
he was really the gentleman that best way, was really
really upset that that happened to him. He was not
happy about what was going on, and he was not
ready to leave yet. So I mean, when these people
(03:49):
get buried, you know, that's kind of what happens. I mean,
he might be haunting the cemetery that he's in right now,
So who knows? Okay? Common goes uh basically seen in
in UH cemeteries, women in white, phantom children, and then
special animals sometimes you know, our hauntings tied to restless
(04:13):
spirits or the livings expectations, meaning when you go to
the cemetery, you know, are you expecting to see something there?
Is it? And this is for your skep and the
skeptics out there. You guys are gonna love me for
just a second here, But you know, is it all
in your head? Is basically when you go there, are
(04:34):
you expecting to see something so badly that you manifest
something in your own head and your You might be
experiencing activity just through your own manifestation of whatever you
think you're expecting to see, you know. So, like I said,
I've been to many cemeteries before. We used to go
(04:56):
to the San Juan Capistronum Cemetery and we used to
just see shadows just darting around. We couldn't go in, unfortunately.
We would stand at the wall and look over and
I mean we would see shadows bouncing around all over place.
Sometimes if we were lucky, we had our k two
sitting on top of the wall. Something would come over
(05:17):
and actually essentially light up our K twos. You know.
My very first experience with a cemetery came when I
was a little kid. We had gone up north northern
California to visit a old neighbor and I was probably
five or six. I wasn't very old, and at that
point in time, I was still seeing ghosts like there
(05:38):
you and me, and we were playing hide and seek,
and it was it was dusk, it wasn't dark, it
wasn't you know, full light. The sun was just starting
to go down, and there was a lot of shadows
everywhere because of the sun going down. So I had
the bright idea. There was a symmth. They had their house,
you know, on one side the street, and there was
(05:59):
a hugeary on the other side. So I think we
kind of all ran into the cemetery. But essentially I ran.
I was running through and I'm running and running and
running and seemed like forever, and all of a sudden,
I run past this guy and he's just sitting there
leaning on a shovel essentially, and he looks at me
(06:19):
and he goes, son, where are you going? And I'm like, oh, no,
I'm in trouble, right, I got I'm getting in trouble.
He goes, you know, what are you doing? And I'm like,
we're playing hide and seek. He goes, oh, we'll go
high behind that headstone over there. So I did as
I was told because I was six and I didn't
know any better. So run over behind the cemetery, I
(06:42):
mean behind the grave, and I'm sitting there looking at it.
I turned around to look at him. He's gone. I mean,
I'm in the middle of the cemetery. If he had
walked off, I only walked ran about four or five steps.
It was not very far, maybe ten feet. He could
not have gotten away that quickly. He just disappeared. And
so we had some other experiences when we were staying
(07:05):
with them that night. But anyways, have you guys ever
been to a haunted cemetery? Do you guys? You know?
Feel free to share your your stories down below. Leave
a comment, love to hear your stories. Tell us you
know what your your theories are on haunted cemeteries. You know,
(07:26):
would you spend the night and one of these cemeteries?
Which do you think is the scariest. So we'll ask
you at the end. What I'll do is I'll put
up a poll in the on the YouTube channel and
you guys can go through and look and see what
you guys think. So, okay, let's get into the cemeteries. Okay,
So number one is the Saint Louis Cemetery. So this
(07:51):
is in Louisiana, and it's the home of the voodoo
queen Mary the vew. Sorry if I'm miss pronouncing that.
In a variety of other paranormal experiences have happened in
this location. This cemetery is supposed to be very very haunted.
Hold on one that guys want to take a sip
in my water, all right, all right, So there's a
(08:18):
haunted figure that visitors and guests reports seeing the ghost
of Mary Levu walking around the tombs is supposedly her
operation is sometimes seeing wearing her signature red and white turban,
and she's also seen wearing brightly colored clothing before she disappears.
And guests say that Levi's spirit is not always friendly.
(08:44):
She said to pinch people, She scratches people, knocks them down,
and you know, but these people are the people that
are being disrespectful to her. And so if you're a
skeptic and you go into the cemetery, be careful. You
don't want to disrespect her. She was a queen, so
we do not want to upset her in any way.
(09:05):
So anyways, and there's also sounds of whispering and sounds
of people basically talking. People have interacted with Lover's term,
particularly leaving offerings and they hear claim to hear her
(09:26):
disbodied voice in their ears. They leave offerings such as flowers, manigras, beads,
coins at our tomb. It's a it's believed that basically,
if if you leave a traditional X on her tomb,
turn around and knock, she will give you a wish
(09:48):
to be granted, you know, while defacing the tomb. The
practice yeah, blah blah blah. Anyways, so they say that
basically if you if you put an X on her
tomb and you do the ritual, she might actually grant
you a wish, which is pretty nice. A lot of
(10:08):
people seem to leave her offerings and stuff like that,
and she doesn't manifest from time to time, so they've
claimed that in this cemetery. They also see many other
apparitions wandering in the cemetery grounds. From shadowy figures to
fandom shapes that move through the labyrinth of above ground
(10:30):
tombs both day and night. So in Louisiana, it floods
a lot, and when it floods, the tombs basically flood
as well. And you know, imagine a bunch of soft
dirt and it flooding consistently like in Katroon and stuff
like that, and all that, all those bodies basically being
(10:54):
washed up out of the ground, so they put them
inside tombs to basically keep them from floating away. You know,
I can't imagine, you know, in the middle of you know,
the storm, all of a sudden you stee a coffin
float by. So anyways, Civil War soldiers are spotted and
believed to be the ghost and basically they died of
(11:17):
yellow fever. They were buried in the cemetery spectral animals,
it says. Some ghost stories describe a large, ghostly black
dog that protects the cemetery grounds at night and scares
away trespassers. So, you know, again take that with a
grain of salt. They could actually be a real dog,
(11:38):
or it could just be a devil dog, you know,
So we got to watch out for that. Cemeteries, especially
at night. Negative things tend to come out of cemeteries
at night and mess with people. A lot of ghost
hunters that go into these cemeteries and not a lot
of but some ghost hunters that go into the cemeteries,
(12:00):
UH do bring home apparitions and negative entities. They'd like
to do them harm. So you gotta be careful when
you leave the cemetery. Again, I always say, you know,
you got to clear yourself. And if you guys want
to know more about that, feel frey calm down, comment
down below and I'll get into that in a specific video.
So this results are reported unexplained occurrences, including electronic voice phenomenon,
(12:25):
which is just doing EVP And if you don't know
what EVP is, that's when you record audio with your
phone or audio recording device and you listen back. It
could even be a video camera. Get we've got e
vps on video cameras too before where you listen back
and there's actually a voice that you didn't hear before.
(12:46):
And so they're seeing orbs and photos now, I know
for my ORB fans and you're like, yeah, that's great,
and for my other fans that go awa and then
we don't do orbs again. You know, that could be
just opened to turn into interpretation if I could talk.
So there's disembodied cries and an unknown stranger who walks
(13:09):
around as well, so other resident spirits that people have experienced.
Henry Vidnis, the ghost of a sailor. He is said
to roam the cemetery. Supposedly he was denied burial in
his family's tomb, and so essentially now he's roaming around
(13:30):
asking visitors for where the location of the tomb is
so he can go home. And he got a feel
for him, he's probably feeling pretty sad. Goose momps. There's
a freezing cold spot behind me. I had last time
I did this guy's out of the ghost box on
and it went terribly. They were trying to come through,
(13:52):
and a few voices did come through when I was
talking about one of the cemeteries and yeah, so but
we couldn't quite understand her and it was just a
lot of screaming and yeah, which was not very clear.
So I'm doing this again this way, all right, So
Dephanie lalar Lolari, excuse me. She's the infamous social alleged
(14:15):
Silla Curller She's supposedly buried in the cemetery, and her
tomb is also said to be haunted, and there's some
dispute whether she actually is there. The first mirror of
the New Orleans is also buried here, and he is
said to linger in roam the cemetery. So anyways, this
(14:39):
cemetery sounds really cool. This is one of the ones
I've not been to a man, and I went to
a cemetery in Louisiana. You guys, come back and look
at that video and watch that. While we walked around
during the day and tried to communicate with whatever is there.
I don't remember we got any evidence or not, but
it definitely felt like there were some entities that were
(15:00):
still there. The cemetery we walked through, it was really
really well taken care of. It was beautiful. So okay,
let's move on to the next one, all right, So
Resurrection Cemetery and Justice Illinois legendary Resurrection Mary. Okay, So yeah,
we'll talk. We'll get into the resurrection and Mary here
(15:20):
in a minute. She's a hitchhiking ghost that people see
on one of the roads out there, and I'll get
into her story in just a minute. Here, So okay,
So basic resolution Mary. The story typically begins with a
young woman named Mary who's out for a dance at
dance at the old Henry Ballroom. I guess later News
(15:46):
is basically located on Archer Avenue. Bear with me, guys,
I'm just kind of scanning through these. I don't want
to get hit with a copyright infringement, so I'm basically
just kind of reading through this as I go. So, so,
I guess she got into an argument with her boyfriend.
She left the dance and wanted to hitchhike homb and
(16:07):
she was in a white party dress and it was
a cold night. As she was walking, she was struck
and hit by a hit run driver. And she's actually
said to be buried at the Resurrection Cemetery and that's
what gives the ghost its name. So okay. Mary is
(16:28):
described as a fashionable young blonde in her mid twenties.
She's wearing a white wedding gown or sorry, a white dress.
We have a lot of women in white that would
you know, are seen all over the place, sometimes with
a shawl and dancing shoes. Those who have seen her
basically says she has like a real pale appearance. So
(16:51):
since the nineteen thirties, what happens is people drive by,
are usually men, and they pick her up and she
hitchhikes along Archer Avenue, and then as the car gets
near the gates of the cemetery, she asked me let out,
and then just disapears in the thin air, which is
creepy cool. Oh my good, I am getting goosewamps. They
(17:14):
are love with my story. Something standing right behind me,
all right, So beyond the benshing hitchhiker they've been associated
with this cemetery, there's the bent cemetery gates, I guess.
In the nineteen seventies it was reported that a passerby
saw a young woman trapped inside the cemetery, and after hours,
(17:34):
when the police investcaated, she was nowhere to be seen.
But the wrought iron gate bars actually were bent apart
bearing her, you know, basically bearing her ghostly handprints. Well,
cemetery officials claim the truck was responsible. The incident fueled
(17:56):
the legend. And then there's also a car phantom car crash.
Some drivers are reported hitting or nearly hitting a young
woman in the road near the cemetery. Only heard a
body disappear when they stop to check make sure she's okay.
So yeah, just crazy. So Mary the young Polish. There's
(18:23):
some other people that have been buried in the cemetery.
Supposedly Mary uh Ba bregav This is a young Polish
American woman. She died in nineteen thirty in a car
accident in downtown Chicago, but her connection to the legend
(18:44):
has been largely discredited. Okay, so they're saying that's been discredited,
so that could be where the little woman they've seen
dying in front of the cemetery is and stuff like that.
So there's just a few more things. You guys, come
in here and look at these your own. We'll continue on.
So all right. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
(19:10):
Bear was mention another drink. So the Hollywood Forever Cemetery
is basically the resting place of a lot of celebrities,
lots and lots of celebrities. It's a beautiful cemetery, really
well taken care of. They do have like movies in
the cemetery. I don't remember what the days are. I
(19:31):
don't even if they're still doing it, but I know
we went there a couple of times during that and
we kind of left and went and investigated on our
own and stuff like that. We were working with a
producer at that point, and so anyways, so the Hollywood
Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles is the final resting place
for a lot of celebrities. It's also famous for numerous
(19:52):
paranormal reports and ghost stories. Visitors and staff have seen
ghostly figure, particularly near the mausoleums where most of the
legendary stars have been entombed. So once get into this,
Randolph Valentino, he was the silent film guy from back
(20:16):
in the nineteen twenties. I believe he's also buried in
this mausoleum, and he's been allegedly seen wander in the grounds,
and mysterious Lady in Black reported visits his crypt nearly
every year. So essentially it sounds like maybe his ex
wife or whatever comes to visit him and stuff like that.
(20:41):
That's the story of love, which is beautiful. Virginia Rape
Rape was a silent film actress who tragically died following
a party involving actor Roscoe Fatty Airbuckle. He created a
major Hollywood scandal. So that's fine. Anytime you got a
(21:04):
scandal in Hollywood, Uh yeah, there's always going to be
ghost attributed to it. So they see, they say, they
claim to see her basically visiting a Valentina's crypt. So
maybe that's Lady in Black Okay, Clifton Webb. He's also
(21:24):
known for his roles in Laura and the Razor's Edge on.
He's said to cause disturbances such as unexplained the noises
and cold spots near his crypt. The other Lady in Black, Uh,
she's frequently seen there, Valentine Yew. They basically repeating the
same thing. Uh. So the cemeteries, ornate and historic mausoleums,
(21:47):
including the Cathedral Mausoleum and the aby Abbey of Psalms
are basically the most haunted places. Again, guys, bear with me.
I'm trying not to do anything copyright issues here, have
any copyright issues by reading this word for words, So
(22:08):
I'm just kind of putting my own words in here
from time to time. So people are experiencing unexplained noises,
They're hearing disembodied voices whispering, mister's footsteps echoing through the
long marble line halls. I explain experienced that We hung
out there for at least an hour or two and
(22:30):
we heard like somebody walking around. We thought. We think
we heard whispering too. At one point we tried to
we were recording the whole time audio video. We didn't
pick it up. We could definitely hear it, and then
we experienced cold spots throughout the whole cemetery as well.
We don't think we got a whole lot of evidence
(22:51):
from there, if any at all, but we definitely had
a lot of personal experiences. I think somebody got touched,
somebody saw an apparition, but we never we didn't get
it on camera unfortunately. So okay, So reports describe shadowy
figures translated in shapes and fully of full body operations
(23:12):
of people in period clothing wandering the mausoleum. So they're
still having a great old time. See, there's some little
kids spirits that want the the cemetery is well. They
described feeling of being touched or hearing a phantom laughter.
(23:33):
We've been to many cemeteries and had that same thing.
Little kids seem to stay in cemeteries for some reason.
I don't know why or if they're even little little
kids at all. If you do go to cemeteries. I
will warn you to be very careful because sometimes what
you think is a little kid is not a little kid. Okay,
(23:57):
so they actually have tours here, ghost hunting events and
movie screenings. That's what I was talking about, So okay,
So yeah, that's the Hollywood Cemetery. It's a really cool place.
If you ever get the chance to visit to Los Angeles,
or you live in Orange County or California, somewhere in
California or the surrounding states and you do like to
investigate the paranormal, I would recommend if you can get
(24:17):
in there, go check it out. It's really a cool
cemetery if you're just not even if you're not into
the paranormal and you just really like famous celebrities and
stuff like that, it's just a really cool cemetery. The
headstones are amazing. You know, they've really put a lot
of time and effort into making just really cool headstones
(24:39):
for the people that passed. So all right, so let's
get into the next one. And this is the Bachelor's
Go Geez Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Illinois. Supposedly, it's largely
abandoned and over grown. Unfortunately, it's considered one of the
most haunted locations in the United States. In nineteen ninety one,
(25:06):
the ghost photo of Madonna Bachelorette Grove or the Lady
in White again, another Lady in White was seen that
they got a picture of her holding an infant. So
here's the picture, so you can kind of see her
sitting on a what looks like a stool, and she's
just basically sitting there. I don't know if this picture
(25:28):
is real or not. It's just an Internet picture, so
bear with me. And it really doesn't look like she's
really holding an infant. She looks like her hands are
just kind of in her lap. But that's a good
picture if it's it's real, okay, So let me talk
about the legend of the way Lady in White here.
She's a ghostly female female figure often called the Lady
(25:50):
in White or Madonna of Bachelor's Grove. She said to
wander the cemetery, sometimes recurring with an infant. Theories are
that she's to the grave due to infant her infant daughter,
while others suggest you could be Louis Rogers who died
with her children in a fire. So the photo was
(26:14):
actually taken in nineteen ninety one by the Ghost Research
Society of America. And basically I talked about this already,
so we go into that. You guys can go look
this stuff up if you want. You know, have you
visited the cemetery, you know, have you had any experiences there?
Did you get a picture? Did you get any have
any experiences? Again, Kiel free calment down below and let
(26:38):
us know. We'd love to hear from you. So other
famous paranormal reports in the cemetery. There's a phantom farmhouse,
which is really cool. It's one of the oldest reports
describing a phantom farmhouse that appears to float and shimmer
off in the distance before it it disappears. There's the
(27:02):
spectral animals that seems to be a theme with these cemeteries.
People have claimed to see a black dog at the
cemetery entrance and then it basically vanishes as they approach,
which is cool. Eerie lights, this is cool, I explained.
Glowing lights and orbs have been spotted around the cemetery.
(27:25):
Some of them describe them moving quickly, strange noises it sounds,
which is normal for cemetery. Large the sound of large
splashes from the pond that have no visible cause, and
there's also a crying baby near the infant daughter grave.
So that's where that lady of White ties into monks
(27:50):
in robes. In the eighteen hundred and nineteen eighties, some
visitor forded seeing figures dressed like monks and then basically
the that's pretty much all they have in here for this.
But it's interesting. Yeah, sounds a cool cemetery. Unfortunately, it's
another cemetery that has gone by the wayside and essentially,
(28:12):
you know, nobody's really taking care of it or whatever,
and unfortunately it's fallen into disarray. But I imagine if
people went out there, and maybe it's already happened, but
maybe if people went out there and cleaned that place
up and really put some energy back into that cemetery,
the activity and probably pick right back up. So I mean,
(28:35):
there's probably just a lot of unfinished business for these people.
That lady White, if she actually lost her kids, you know,
they could be why she's still rooming around and looking
for her kids. You know, she wants to know what
happened to them, Did they make it, did they not
make it? You know, So maybe she just never passed
(28:55):
over and doesn't know where her kids actually are. I mean,
imagine as a parent, if you've lost your kid and
you were frantically looking around. I mean, that would be
a reason for you to stay and want to figure
out what's going on. So I mean, I can you
can just you know, your heart just goes out to her.
All right, So let's get to the last one. Let
(29:16):
me get a quick sip again here, all right, Howard
Street Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts. And this is basically associated
with the Salem witch Trials. If you don't know what
the Salem witch Trials are back in the what is
(29:39):
it the sixteen hundreds, Okay, so let me just read
this to you and then also kind of cover the
story I was gonna tell. So the Howard Street Cemetery
is associated with the Salem witch Trials. It was the
field where the where a guyles Corey was suppressed to death,
(30:00):
and the sixteen ninety two that was what I was
looking for, was a date for that and the six
late sixteen hundreds. Essentially they accused a bunch of people
in Salem of being witches and there was just mass
hysteria going through this village and essentially they hung a
bunch of women for being witches, which was actually never
(30:22):
really proven that they were, and some kids just basically
accused a bunch of people of being witches. And back
in those days, that just wasn't you know, you weren't
allowed to do that. You weren't allowed to be a
witch in this village due to the religion, religious theories.
(30:44):
So anyways, this poor guy, they kept putting rocks and
rocks and rocks on top of him that he was
laying down and imagined just being crushed to death by
large rocks until you couldn't breathe, and basically, you know,
who knows what else happened to him. I'm sure it
was terrible, but they accused him of being a witch,
and basically until they kept putting more and more stones
(31:07):
on top of him until he, you know, basically said
he was a witch. And I don't think he actually
ever did, but I mean, imagine the trauma and all
the stuff associated with being crushed to death like that.
I mean, imagine how upset you had been, you know,
especially if you were wrongly accused. But so his spirit
(31:32):
is said to off the cemetery. This cemetery actually opened
in eighteen oh one, and visitors report cold spots, shadow people,
and ghostly screams. I can only imagine so after he
was pressed to death, basically his ghost has been seen
(31:54):
in an open field adjacent to the Salem Jail where
the eighty one year old Guyle Corey was tortured to
death and for the practice game of witchcraft. Corey never
yielded with his last words definally demanding more weight. So
(32:15):
basically he was just telling him to go ahead and
get it over with. So his spirit is said to
linger through the grounds of the modern cemetery the ghostly
o Women. Local lore claims that Corey's ghost has been
seen in Sicher just before a major disaster strikes in Salem.
(32:36):
Witnesses report seeing him before the Great Salem Fire of
nineteen fourteen, which devoured actually most of the town. Other
paranorm reports to the basically the Howard Street Cemetery, again
adjacent from the former Salem in jail, are cold spots.
(32:58):
Many people describe sudden local drops and temperature, which is
basically just a cold spot. If you don't know what
a cold spot is, essentially imagine if you're in a
nice warm house and then a draft kind of comes
in and it gets really cold real quick. That's basically
what that is. It's the theory behind a cold spot
(33:20):
is that, you know, there's just energy. The warmth is energy,
right cold there's also energy, it's a different type, but
there's this energy. This this You know, you're in a
nice warm room and all of a sudden, you know,
you're in an area where it's said to be haunted,
and all of a sudden, the air tempter around you
or maybe just you, just all of a sudden get
(33:41):
really really cold. The theory is that ghosts will drain
energy away from you or rain away from that area
to create energy for themselves to manifest in some way.
And by manifest I mean they can basically create a voice,
they can create an e VP, which I talked about earlier.
They might show themselves, you might catch a glimpse of something,
(34:04):
something might move, you might hear something, you might feel something,
you might have a vision. There's a lot of different
things manifestation could involve, but you guys kind of get
the general idea. So so there's witnesses that have reported
taking photographs of the mysterious shapes reported in the jail,
(34:29):
and basically they see a man who resembles the nineteenth
century gentleman with a top hat. So let me retire that.
So basically, witnesses have reported getting a photo of mysterious
shapes and reported seeing a man in the nineteenth century
(34:50):
clothing of the top hat. So basically he's seen by
the jail. And there's a lot of operations are seen
over by the jail, ghostly screams. I can only imagine,
I mean, if that's where they were hanging the witches
and stuff like that, you know, not the witches, but
(35:12):
the women accused of being the witches. You know, imagine
you're being pretty much murdered at that point in time,
and imagine the energy that you're feeling right beating right
before that happens. I mean cemeteries, Like I said, cemeteries
seem to hold a lot of energy when you go
(35:35):
through and and you go let's less just say that
you go into a cemetery, it doesn't matter which one,
and you pick a grave and or multiple graves, and
you don't may not know this person or maybe it's
somebody that you've lost, and you go back there and
you're just you know, you maybe you've just lost that
(35:55):
loved one or whatever, and you start pouring all of
this energy in that person, you know, and most of
it's probably sadness and upset and whatever else or missing
that person or whatever. All those emotions get poured into
that area, right, and you're creating an area of energy,
So that energy could be transferred to that person that
(36:17):
the ghost or whatever you want to call them, spectrum,
spectral figure or whatever they can be. They can absorb
some of that energy possibly and basically respond maybe in
a way like I said before, and manifest in some way.
And you know, when that energy is left, they could
(36:41):
affect the rest of the cemetery as well. Other operations
could come to that area just to see what's going on.
Maybe they are drawn to that energy. Who knows, but uh,
it's the same thing when we go and investigate. We
going in there and we asked, you know, question, and
we we talked to them, and we pay attention to
(37:04):
whoever we think we're trying to communicate with. That could
also draw energy back to that cemetery. And the more
energy you put into that, the more reactions you possibly
could get. And I think this goes back also into
the fact that you know, what are your expectations before
you go in again too, Are you expecting to see something?
(37:26):
Are you expecting to feel something? Are you expecting something
to happen? Like I said, for my skeptics, you know,
that could be part of why people experience so many
things in inside a cemetery. Now, both sides of that coin.
You know, again, if you're a skeptic, you're going, okay,
you're just expecting to see something. But also, you know,
(37:47):
if you're a believer or you're on the fence or
whatever and you experience something, it could just be that
you know that there is something really happening. You know, again,
energy you could just be meant. It could be man
for helping something manifest by going in there and communicating
with whoever. And there's a lot of famous ghosts that
(38:09):
get a lot of attention in these cemeteries, and so
people are constantly visiting these cemeteries and putting that energy
towards them. So it makes sense for them to be
more active and be more interactive because they maybe they
like that tension, you know, maybe they're they're happy that
somebody's actually paying attention to them and I think that's
(38:30):
what happens with with ghosts in general. And I'm getting
goosebumps from head to toe right now. You can see
the hair standing up on my arm. There's a freezing
cold spot behind me, like somebody's telling me you're right,
you're right. But anyways, so yeah, I mean, the more
energy you put into these things, whether it be like
(38:52):
the haunted dolls behind the other of objects or a
cemetery or a haunted location, the more attention that gave,
the more energy they get, I believe, the more easy
it is for them to manifest in some way. So
I'll leave you guys with that. Again, you guys are
really gonna make up your own mind as to what
you think is going on in these cemeteries. You know,
(39:15):
