I've seen pictures of ads for coffins with a bell mounted on the top lid, with a string running into the coffin. Problem is once the bell is in dirt it doesn't work very well unless there's a housing protecting it.
@@jameshickok2349 yeap, they did sell them like that. I’ve always wondered if they would work. Haha, funny story, my granddad worked at a funeral home for years and he told me that he and another guy went and picked up a body 80 miles away from where we lived. Coming back down the road during the trip, he glanced back just checking out the rear view mirror and about that time, the body sit straight up😂😂 He about run off the road and the guy with him was ready to run😆 All it was though was muscle spasms but still, I would have died right there.
@@Lyssa72 I had the same experience! 30 years ago, when I was a young nurse, I had a patient die on the night shift. If it had been daytime, various other people would have taken the body down to the morgue, but on night shifts, it’s minimal staff. So another nurse and I put the deceased on a special type of stretcher with a metal ‘tent’ which a sheet is draped over, to disguise what’s under it. We were told to take the patient to the morgue in the basement which is locked, but a security guard would meet us there. So we wheeled the stretcher down to the basement, & had to wait for the guard who got held up for some reason. As we were waiting it looked like the body tried to sit up, but couldn’t all the way due to the metal tent over the top, but it ‘sat up’ about 45 degree angle 📐 & I’ve never been so startled in my life!! I knew the patient was dead, as it was after a long deterioration from cancer, but man, I had nightmares for a while after that!!
I love creepy stories as well. But yea, I'm having a really really hard time with this one. Being buried alive or burning alive, is my absolute worst fears!! Okay then. So much for sleep tonight
I guess… it’s a good things medicine has improved…. I looked dead and was dying… but a miracle dr had retired and moved to where I got sick… deadly illness… whiteout that dr … he spent every moment there at the desk.. he asked me if I would fight with him for life… I nodded… he squinted my big toe and said let’s do this… I was 🥲 to live to 42 ish … I was 35… I did everything he said all these years… at 65 I am still here… here’s to Dr Cooper! ❤️✨
@stellarobinson3789 A very weak pulse is easy enough to understand, But, No signs of breathing even for a few minutes, much less a day, how could that be? Breathing so shallow as to not be noticed by people looking very intently, but enough to sustain life??
I am a student at a funeral home. After we have picked up people from house calls they usually already have cloudy eyes. It's terrifying things like this would not have been checked even back then.
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl my parents' and stepmother's eyes started clouding over about 12 hrs before they died. My mother's roommate at the hospital had that glaze a few hours before she died. When I saw that on my mother I flipped out. I was only 19.
@@adelerodriguez2432 OMG... I'm sorry you had to go through that, and at such a tender young age. That would be terrifying! When you noticed it did you say something to the staff?
No. I got the hell out of CCU and went back to my family. Everybody was asking how she was. She was sick for 2 yrs; it all flashed in front of me. I said I didn't give a s*** anymore and broke down crying.
That poor girl Anna, was of nervous disposition, I cannot comprehend the terror and horror of waking up in a nailed coffin, her heart probably gave out I pray she found peace in the end
My grandparents are buried there. How interesting to hear about my City's history. I live not far from this place. I will visit this grave when I return to pay respects. Thank you so much.
That's where "saved by the bell" came from. People were often buried alive and they would run a string from the coffin up to the surface to a bell hanging on a stick that way if you woke up in a coffin you can start pulling that string and ringing the bell someone would hear it and dig you up and you would be saved by the Bell. True story.
When my older son was small he would ride on my bike with me through cemeteries on the north side of Chicago. My marriage was bad, I worked nights and wanted to spend time with him away from the house. Cemeteries have safe and beautiful roads. Reading headstones was part of the ride and I’d wonder if anyone of them once lived similar to me. Things are different now but I’ll always have an appreciation and fondness for cemeteries. No RU-vid then of course. I really like this channel.
Sometimes I hear or read things I wished subsequently I'd never heard. I think this story is one of those things. The utter despair of her aloneness at a time when she probably wished for nothing more than than a friendly hand or warm, enfolding arms may have been the worse part of it.

I like this guys channel. This guy is straightforward, no nonsense, no stupid jokes, and his content is both creepy and very interesting. I'm subscribing👍,
@@cj.t.7321 I understand what you are saying but the sentiment was there in what I said. I wish with all my heart that she didn’t have to die such a terrifying death. I know it’s not much consolation for her. I get what you are saying though because her death was horrific.
i was buried alive .i was a grave digger the ground collapsed on me i was digging a double ground gave way when i was 10feet into the earth.buried alive. i woke up 3 days later in the hospital. with a broken neck and broken back....
@@FacesoftheForgotten I am not sure, but when Andy Griffith passed he was buried very quickly it seems but I can't remember totally how long. I love you video's Ron. Take care. Cathy
My grandfather told me a story once, he was born in the late 1800's and when he was little his teacher died she had long blond hair down to her feet. After burial someone heard screams coming from her grave they dug as fast as they could but when they opened the casket she had pulled all of her hair out and her fingers were bloodied where she had clawed at the wood trying to get out. She had either had a heart attack or ran out of oxygen,
I think that’s one of the most beautiful cemeteries I’ve ever seen, and you couldn’t have picked a more beautiful morning to visit! I think the worst way to go would have been that poor guy that died trapped head first in that cave. I have a difficult time even thinking about what his last moments must have been like.
I am in that cemetery all the time. There are damaged headstones everywhere. The cemetery have not repaired any of them that has been reported to them. There is a military headstone where the landscape company has damaged the nameplate.
@@nurseangiereviewsandadvent1145 , unfortunately I see this anytime I see a nice looking cemetery & take a look around. The owners of the property probably think it's the families responsibility to manage the upkeep . Very sad
@Nurse Angie Adventures I live about an hour and a half away in Indy. I have a nephew who does concrete work and I'm no slouch at it my own bad self too. Do you think the cemetery would let us re-set her stone on a concrete pad to make it right? We could do it for Mitch since he doesn't live around there and that was a nice thought. I'd have to see the Veteran marker to know if we could fix/get it replaced. VFW may be able to help too.
What's really frightening is that live burials were so common that casket makers actually fitted them with alarm systems! For "a small fee" the casket was fitted with a pipe that was inserted into the coffin lid before the grave was back-filled. A string would have been tied to a finger of the deceased and then run up through the pipe to the surface. The other end was connected to a small brass bell on a spring.... (Think miniature version of the store "over the door bells" we've all seen in old movies) The idea was not only that the pipe would prevent suffocation but that the slightest move of the body would set the bell ringing and (hopefully) alert someone of the situation. My mom grew up in an old town in Germany. The accepted story there was that sometimes, when you visited the Victorian section of the cemetery, you would hear the ringing of a long gone bell.
When I was a child in Scotland half a century ago someone told me scary things such as don't give your hand to someone dying as they'd break your arm trying to "take you with them", and that when you pass a cemetery you'll hear the shouts of "people buried alive". I'd run fast past our local graveyard for fear of hearing the shouts. It never occurred to me that I should listen for shouts and get help, including for people buried alive! But, after all, as that same person told me, tombstones exist to stop people climbing out of their graves!
@@judithm375 ROFL! I'd never heard that definition of a tombstone Before. When I was 12, I had my 5 year old brother convinced that it was dangerous for him to go outside on the night of a full moon. We lived in an area just at the city limits so no street lights but lots of overgrown yards and empty fields. One of those yards contained a old concrete horse trough which doubled as the entrance to the local witches underground lair. What she kept in her lair was juicy little children of course. On the night of the full moon, the witch came into her full power, which meant that she could use the moon to watch for children wandering in the dark. If you dared to run, the moon would chase you. (have you noticed that if you walk while keeping an eye on the moon, it appears to keep pace with you?) Needless to say, my little brother stopped trying to tag along with me once the sun went down!
My grandmother back in Russia and her siblings swear that their mom was buried alive, even to this day. If that actually is the case, then it’s horrific to think about! Can’t even begin to imagine how terrifying it must be for the person in the coffin itself
My great grandfather took care of cemetery grounds for X number of years. There was at least one occasion when he had to help with digging up a grave and when the casket was opened, the corps showed signs of having been buried alive via fingers showing damage, the inside of the casket having markings of clawing, the position of the dead person and the frozen look of horror in the face of the poor corps. This was back in the late 18 hundreds. Shook my great grandfather up to where I think they said he quit that job. Burrrrr! Enough to give a person nightmares and the heebie jeebies for a looooong time.
@@maryjoeroark6844 Yes, possible. There is that fish in Japan that is a delicacy, but poisonous if not handled right. It is a neurotoxin. I have heard of people appearing dead from it.
It’s possible, but burial takes time. You’ll be hard pressed to find a cemetery or funeral home that can do a service within 24 hours. Even the funeral homes that do natural burials meaning no embalming take on average 2-3 days to get everything in order.
Exactly why I have to be sedated going into an MRI, it makes me feel like I am almost buried alive! I can’t imagine the terror she went through. RIP Anna.
I totally understand😓~Even sedation does not work for me as still crawl out of the machine😳:( I must use the sitting or standing ones as even the "Open MRI Machine" is too claustrophobic!!
Claustrophobia can be very debilitating I know. If you have to have one insist you enter feet first and tell yourself your head is very close to the opening (which it should be). They have fans blowing air down there too so it doesn't feel so suffocating. Worst thing for me was being on a fully packed plane once (earlier flight was cancelled). When we landed everyone seemed to stand at the same time; no personal space at all. So I sat down again for that tiny bit of extra space. When I am in difficult situations I have my mind concentrate on going through procedures on how to escape confined situations. Even in lifts I plan how to reach the ceiling, undo bolts and open the maintenance door ... It helps to occupy your mind with practical things like that to avoid panicking. I have managed pretty well so far. I will be cremated. I take nerve pain medications for a back injury now and have found they have a sedative effect too. I even went caving with friends once while taking those tablets. Don't think I'd normally be able to do that without medication. Doing these things does help you to know you can manage though.
My father went into cardiac arrest when he was in an mri machine. I've been in one myself and it is no joke, i agree, the panic and anxiety kicks in in an instant.
poor Anna... as you know, old graves often become sunken, coffin collapse, etc. But Anna's grave being sunken is a very strong symbol in this case... Peace Anna... 🖤

So sad for Anna. Back in the day it was probably more common than you would think that people was buried alive. How terrifying for those unfortunate that suffered this fate. Rest in peace Anna
I grew up across the street from a cemetery. It has a new section, old section and a really old (1600’s) section. Beautiful and well kept with massive oaks. I learned how to drive there, took walks with dad, looking at the old graves and walked my dog in there visiting my relatives that past. Everyone used to ask me if it was creepy living across from it. That never even crossed my mind. So peaceful
Not creepy at all. My grandmother and I were both very interested in local history and cemeteries. She and I went on many trips together through some of the most peaceful places.
I'm still dealing with the loss of a teenage son. On Christmas Eve, I cried most of the day, and visited his grave, like I do every day. That night I felt the urge to visit him again, so I took my dog, and we walked a mile to the cemetery. It was dark, and I could hardly see where I was going, but we got there. I was amazed at how peaceful and quiet it was. I'm glad I went, I talked to my son for a bit, and my dog seemed to enjoy the time also.
@@kennydemartini2169 I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. What a terrible loss. I lost my dad a few months ago and it was our first Christmas without him so I did some crying myself but losing a child, I just couldn't imagine. Last night (day after Christmas) I spoke to my Dad for the first time out loud. Then I fell asleep and dreamt about him. He was happy. I pray you find peace soon.
@@tjo1976 Thank you. I talk to my son every day. I've had some dreams about him, and he is happy. In one dream I asked him what time he had to be back in Heaven, and he said 2 o'clock, and he needed some different clothes. Just recently I tried to fix a solar light on his grave. I did all I could, but couldn't get it to light up. I took it back to his grave and said you'll have to fix it, I can't. When I went back the next day, it still wasn't working. The next evening after work when I went to visit, and as I was walking towards his grave, the light lit up! As I kneeled down and thanked him and talked, the light flickered off and on, and as I got in my car, it lit and stayed on. It hasn't worked since, but that one night was special to me. He was my buddy, and I miss him so much. He lets me know when he is around.
@@kennydemartini2169 Oh My Gosh that gave me chills. My Dad had his issues and wasn't very nice at the end (he had a terminal illness) but he was my buddy too when he was feeling better. I'm so sorry you lost your buddy. That hurts my heart. The reason I got chills about the solar light is because I was wondering if I should mention this or not but here goes. After I spoke out loud to my Dad last night and then had a dream about him last night, I woke up this morning to the lights on around the fireplace mantel. I had turned all the Christmas lights off on Christmas evening so they've been off for a couple days. Then suddenly after that dream, the lights on the fireplace mantel were on...the same mantel where my Dad's ashes are in an urn. I asked the other two people in the house if they turned them on and denied it very seriously. They also have no reason to turn them on.

What a beautiful, scenic and well kept cemetery! To be buried alive is unthinkable. The terror Anna must have felt when she realized it. What confuses me though in these cases, is how can anyone even have enough air and strength after being buried alive to put up a struggle like that. You would think the oxygen alone in a buried coffin would be at the very minimum. Plus, a person recovering from a coma like state would still be rather weak still, especially after not eating or drinking all of that time. Those are the questions in my mind whenever I hear these kinds of stories. I still believe them, I just don't understand how the person in the coffin can come back strong enough to put up a fight. It's very sad though. RIP Anna.
Imagine, because it is so dreadful the adrenaline probably triple, you know that last wind, I've been trapped in elevators twice between floors and the emotional sensation is identical to being buried alive, the first time with my ex-husband and he had two heart attacks while we were trapped.
You would suffocate within minutes. Not much air in a coffin. What people thought was "buried alive" was actually the dead body moving around in the coffin due to gases.
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. The dead don’t realize they’re dead they’re in a complete state of unconsciousness and dont know what the living are doing anymore.

Yes, I agree about not wanting to be buried alive, but also, my biggest fears are dying by drowning, fire, or plane crash. When it’s my time to go, I’d rather not know I’m going and be in fear right before death. I’d like it to be peaceful. That poor girl, I can’t imagine waking up and being in a coffin. No way.
Me too I'm Catholic and please my holy father let it be peaceful. Bless all those lonely souls. Love ya video's very interesting. Much respect from Nottingham 🇬🇧 🏴 🌹❤🙏🙏
@@ameliarhodes5000 well friend i think this way it must be beautiful coz thankfully none of my family Mum, Dad, Brother, Gran,Aunt, Nephew at 16, Haven't come back to say its horrible where they are 🤔 Believe me i would be the first to come back and complain if there's nothing out there. 2🤣👍🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🇬🇧
As long as your in CHRIST there is no fear for you are just passing from this life into eternal Bliss....but yeah suffocation in an enclosed box 😳. They actually say drowning is quite peaceful 🤷.
My friend was 72 and trapped on the second floor of a burning house 🏡. She was calling for help and her grandkids in their 30’s saved the dog on the same floor before trying to save her 😡😭😭😭 RIP Connie, I’ll never forget you! I could not imagine the fear she endured just before her death knowing she was going to die in that house! Ugh, the horror when I saw the pictures of the flames 🔥 shooting out of that building! 😩😭😭😭
Hi Ron, Dayton hits close to home for when my great grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Germany and France in 18 91 on the Red Star passenger boat. They settled in Jackson County Ohio. After my grandfather committed suicide in 1932 and left his wife with 10 children they all ended up in Dayton Ohio. This is the final resting place for most of the family.
I love walking around graveyards ,, but there ent many decent cemetries, in uk unless u go to Highbury cemetery,, London, but I can't as I live too far away from London.
I agree that being buried alive would be the worst thing ever. I’d rather my body be put in a barn away from people until I stank before I was buried. Trapped in a coffin underground, you have no way to give yourself a quick death. You just have to wait...shiver! 😳
At one time, this was a common practice in Europe. The body would be placed in a building adjacent to the cemetery until it showed signs of decay, only then would there be a burial. One of the wives of a U.S. President, can’t remember which, was so terrified of being buried alive that she asked to have the large veins in her neck sliced open before burial, just to make sure she wouldn’t wake up in her coffin.
I once was in a 2 weeks Koma, I can all tell You, it was a Horror, You do not know, what is reality, what is dreaming.... Today my life went on, but with 1 Antidepressiva.💊
Thank you for the history of Dayton . We retired here at Wright Patterson AFB several years ago . The Catholic community is amazing. I’ve learned to love the history of this place .
It makes me wonder why the space between her grave and her parents? I also noticed that her headstone was the only one that was crooked/sunken on one side. How horrifying to die like that. I hope she’s at rest in God’s arms. 🙏🏼💔🙏🏼
Maybe her coffin has collapsed under the weight of the ground. Probably they didn't use a vault in which to place her coffin in those days like they do now.
I was thinking, maybe a tree root. Or like Miranda said, her coffin collapsed, because it was most likely a wooden casket and probably disintegrated as did her body.

My father was dying of cancer. Hospice and morphine had eased his pain. When his vital signs showed he was failing mom kept telling him she loved him... he opened his eyes and looked at her and told her he loved her. At that time his eyes were the milky color. He died a few minutes later.
It was a blessing for your dad to hear your mom professing her love for him; I can't help but think of all the folks that passed from this world without their loved ones to hold their hand or express their feelings, it just does not seem right no matter whether it was C-19 or not!
My condolences. My Mom's sister passed away 7 weeks ago due to complications caused by the Covid19 virus. One day she was fine, next day she vomited blood and then passed away😢😢😢
So sorry Karen. 🙏🏻 I don't KNOW how you feel, cause your Dad was yours and your relationship with him was unique to the both of you but I do understand the pain of loss, as I too lost my Dad, very suddenly, he just collapsed and died in my arms without regaining consciousness. It was a blessing for him but a shock for us. What gives me comfort, is that years prior to my Dad passing, my uncle (who sadly died of cancer), just moments before he died, he opened his eyes, stared straight ahead at a blank wall and a huge smile spread across his face, as if he saw someone he knew really well and loved. He closed his eyes and gently and peacefully died. My aunt swears that my Uncle Ben's mother came to get him and it was her that he was smiling at. So it has compounded my belief in heaven. I'm sure your Dad is with those he loves, at peace and happy in heaven. God bless you 🤗
I’ve always had this fear,at least going back to my great grandmother’s funeral,some air escaped or something & her pearl necklace moved when I walked up to her. I was convinced that she was alive and had a complete meltdown while I watched them lower her into the ground. Fast forward 30 years, my son was killed,we agreed to cremate him,but 1st I laid my head on his chest praying I would hear a heartbeat,then I took out my compact makeup and put it under his nose because I needed to be sure! Mind you at this point he had already had a autopsy so he couldn’t have been alive (they remove all organs & weigh them including the brain.But I couldn’t let him go until I convinced myself.
@@JayTsay I can't help but wonder if that freaking wedding and their preoccupation with it caused them to rush burying Anna and therefore caused them to miss doing their due diligence to check for signs of life because there really is no excuse why they shouldn't have been able to wait a few days to check her eyes.

This is my biggest fear! This has been a fear of mine since I can remember. This is the first fear of many on my list. My hubby and I are medical professionals and I made him promise that he will do a final check that I am officially dead before they start doing anything with my body. I wrote a letter of instruction for him. It is such a serious fear for me.
Greetings from South Africa. That is a long trip. Thank you. A truly beautiful place .. wow ... amazing statue. Poor Anna. She could have been in a coma of sorts, diabetic, or had a stroke. Gosh.
My Aunt passed away when I was a boy. When she passed they held the viewing at the her house.. *thing was, I never stepped foot into a funeral home until I was an adult. All family members where shown at home* This happened in S.E. KY. .. I remember, I walked over to her coffin to look at her, I was by myself.. I might have been about 10yrs old.. as I was looking, her right arm, sliding off her chest fell to her side. Needless to say, it didn't out right scare me.. but I did take some steps back from her.. I didn't say a word for fear of getting my hide tanned. I told my other Aunt many years later and she told me that the cost of having her embalmed was too much.. hence why all showings was at the family homes. .. I know this isn't a buried alive story.. but just the same.. O.o
What a death! Terror and terror. Poor young Anna. By the way, this cemetery is beautiful. It is like a city of dead. Not in the macabre sense, but in a poetic sense. We should visit cemeteries more often, to feel for those that are not here anymore and also to be grateful to be alive also. But specially to be aware that one day we will be buried, also. But not alive, please!
Not seeing my comments posted yet... but l did come back now to thank you for the beautiful photography of the cemetery. It was the hope of earlier cemetery planners that loved ones could feel comfortable in visiting their departed. Certainly this graveyard would be lovely and restful to visit... and to contemplate, review memories, or spend some some quiet time in prayer. I actually find time visiting departed loved ones restorative...and brings me closer to my memories... and it is lovely especially to spend time remembering those that l was blessed to have in my life. For me: part of the awareness to treasure our own lives and remembering to spend our time in life on earth wisely is greatly enhanced by my visits to grave yards I noticed benches to make visitors comfortable and encourage restful visits. The grounds were so well cared for... and l very much appreciated your beautiful photography of the gorgeous vista's and monuments. THANK YOU!!!! 😊🙏❤
Many people would go into comas and presented dead. My grandfather and my father helped move those graves in Dayton Ohio., he told me numerous graves opened only to find they had clawed the top of the lid trying to get out. Maybe that’s why they started to embalm ... to make sure the person was dead.
Oh my gosh… In that case they are actually killing people who could've ended up buried alive. Hence, only saving them from the terror. Not really saving them at all! Think about it. If they would bury someone alive without embalming them, then embalming them would be simply cutting up a person in a coma. That's horrid!! You would think before they even started embalming they would find some better test than a doctor looking at them and saying "Yep, this one's gone". Bbbbrrrr
They started embalming because of the war. They had to ship deceased soldiers home thus they embalmed them so they wouldn't rapidly decay on the trip back to their home town.
Yes that is correct. Besides, everyone should look up the barbaric procedures prior to embalming. They literally puncture the organs so they dont seep or explode during the wake. The tools alone would not want anyone doing that to their loved ones. Green burials are better, but you hope today they absolutely make sure one is dead.
México has really interesting graves! My teacher from home economics aka Cocina has the coolest grave! Her students built her a little tiny kitchen! Jajaja with a stove refer, cute curtains! It's adorable. And that's where she lies. Inside her little kitchen. Roof, walls, a door and windows
There's some place in Europe and they put their dead up on walls in this huge open mosleum, where outside air comes in along with birds, etc. They just all are secured up on walls, maybe 3 to 6 stories high for all to see. The bodies are all dried up and intact with no odors! I like that idea!!!!!!
I blame the doctor ..he didn't know that she was still alive ! Incompetent ..her parents must have felt guilty all their lives knowing they buried their young daughter alive ! They must have had terrible Nightmares ...so Sad for them all
When I first started watching this channel a week ago, I felt creepy that I was watching. Then I realized your honestly letting these people almost live again in a way by telling their stories. As sad as it is. They won’t be forgotten. 🥲🦋 Bless you sir.
Regarding eyes at death. My Dad had the most beautiful sparkling bright blue eyes ever! Seconds before his passing, JUST his blue pupils turned white as snow. He was looking at something just over my shoulder. I asked him if there was someone here with us, & he nodded his head yes!🙏 I told him it was his angel coming for him & it was alright! I told my Dad to take his hand & he'll lead you into heaven. I will be fine Dad it's OK to go. He looked past my again, & he nodded his head yes as he looked past me, like he was answering someone else's question. He drew his last breath and was gone forever😥All of that took seconds to happen! I understand it's not quite the same thing as this story, but it's the explanation for my Dad's eye colour change that's stuck with me since 2001. Thank you for filming & explaining what happened to some people it's fascinating. 🤗👍🌹
I’m 60 yo and deathly afraid of being buried alive since I can ever remember, my family (and lawyer) have drawn papers of having my heart surgically removed by a cardiovascular surgeon, all the blood drained out ($ set aside for the procedure) then buried or cremated (scarier than burial) haven’t decided yet ! Incidentally on my California driver’s license if I was to crock in a car accident and my organs are of use to help save or improve the life of another human being, then I’m all for it as well, if so, then to disregard the former request ! BTW folks, almost everyone’s skin can be a life saver of emergency burn patients and skin grafting.
Beautiful, I hope you live a long blessed life. Sending hugs from Cape Town 🤗. I think its amazing you willing to donate your organ.And I did not know you can donate skin. GOD BLESS YOU 🙌
My daughter and I visit cemeteries on Mother's Day every year. It's our thing followed by Bloody Mary's after we get home! And what a beautiful cemetary!!!
I grew up in Dayton and my father and sister still live there today. It was quite interesting to hear you tell the history of my hometown, much of which I did not know. 😁 Anyway, the story of Anna was indeed tragic and sad. I feel so bad for her. Also, when I was in Army basic training back in 1982, I knew a guy named Hochwalt in my platoon. We all pronounced it Hock-Walt, and so did he. I, like you, am of German descent as well. Great video! 👍
I love cemeteries. When I was like 10-15 yo, my aunt lived in the old caretaker's house in the middle of a cemetery that was at least a mile if not longer, long and wide. I would spend the night there often as my cousins and I were close in age. Anyways, I would go walk through the cemetery all by myself for hours. My mom went once with me and my aunt went once with me, but I preferred to go alone. I would sit respectfully at the foot of interesting Graves and just think about what kind of person the deceased was. It was so peaceful.
I find graveyards to be very peaceful places too. I use to live a block or two from a cemetery not far from my house many years ago. I use to walk my dogs there (respectfully) and we almost always ended up sitting on the hillside above the graveyard looking out over the view. (We lived on a hillside). The 3 of us would just sit there peacefully and quietly, over looking the graveyard. It was really lovely. We spent many hours sitting there over time.

Love all your content, you are very thorough and respectful. You always have a way of captivating my curiosity right from the get go and hold me there until your presentations are over. Amazing absolutely amazing.
Were you a history teacher? Because you make it come alive in your videos! I learn so much about the history of our country, just by watching you visiting the cemeteries!🙏🏼💚

My father worked on a cemetery and he told me that in the Victorian times people were buried alive. One of the reasons being Victorians were very modest and only used mirrors and feeling pulse points. Easy to mistake the death of someone. People exhumed would show signs of scratches on the lid and of trying to turn over.
Very true and because of it many families installed a bell by the tombstone with a cord going underground inside the coffin. Many employed a watchman to sit by the grave for a few days after the burial in case the "corpse" woke and rang the bell.
My grandmother had this fear and requested that her heart be pierced with a stiletto after she died. I don't think this was done but I imagine being born in the 1890s she heard these stories when younger and decided she needed to take measures. She had been in a coma since having a stroke for many months- so I think she had definitely gone when she finally passed away.
@kbogle798 We are closely related to the U.K. as many of our ancestors not only lived there w/relatives still living there, my Grandmother and Grandfather came to U.S. from U.K as have many others. I consider it our sister country.
@@jo72257 I have the same opinion as you, my "sister " from over the pond ! I suspect that the comment we both responded to, was sadly written by someone who didn't pay any attention in their history classes. Seems that they either do not read or watch much TV or at least don't watch or read much that cover history, directly or indirectly w respect to British or American history
About two hours after death, the cornea becomes hazy or cloudy and progressively becomes more opaque over the next 24 to 48 hours. This occurs due to the lack of circulation/oxygen. The build up of potassium in the vitreous humor (a transparent, colorless, gel-like substance in the eyeball) can also contribute to the clouding. This clouding can help determine a rough estimate when time of death may be in question.
This is very true. I saw my mom's cloudy eyes after she took her life by hanging. She texted me at 6:27am that morning "this is for the best I love you." Once I got there at about 8:46am she must have been gone at least 2 hours by then because her eyes were open and had the cloudiness in her eyes you described when people die. I also didn't realize when you die all of the facial muscles droop really bad. I guess not everyone dies with their eyes open and that must be why some people back in the day got accidentally buried alive. I'm not a doctor but once I saw the life gone from my mom's eyes ( the cloudiness) I knew she was gone. I layed her down gently, took a few steps back, sat down next to her car, called an ambulance, and I had to look away. It was a lot back in 2017 when she did that but I feel like I handled it well apart from a few panic attacks while sorting out her house. She sends me signs so I know she is around. I understand why she left I just miss her that's all. Thanks for reading. Just need to vent sometimes.
“ She sends me signs so I know she is around.” NONSENSE. When the brain dies, the person is erased (like a computer turned off). There is no life after death .
@@Lunarstruck1 Psychic mediums are talking to demons who see what was in that persons life and report to the medium. You might just as well shake hands with the Devil which is what you are doing.
My grandmother had 4 children that died before the age of 3. My mother said their deaths were from "summer complaint", (diarrhea, vomiting) This was in the 1930's. My grandparents lived in rural Lancaster Ohio at the time. My grandfather wrapped the babies up and buried them in the yard.
@@jamesvickers9476 my mother had told me when their mother had to travel with the oldest daughter for modeling the other children would have to stay home with the babies. I was told they had given the baby spoiled milk and that's what caused the diarrhea/vomiting. It was the 1930's and during the depression. The family was already poor especially with so many children.
Her terror and despair at her last hrs must have been awful. Hard to think about that scenario without a deep down shudder. Omg if that was my child and I had found that out, my guilt would probably kill me.
I live in Dayton and love history. It was very interesting for you to share details I have never heard. I know of Calvary Cemetery. It is huge. I didn’t know of St. Henry’s. The thought of being buried alive is so unsettling I can’t think on it too long. If I found out I had done that to my daughter, I would be absolutely destroyed and useless. Even then, I wld know that in my devastation, she still suffered worse. I wld go insane.
I was born and raised in Dayton and still live here. Thank you so much for this video!! I did not know about this story. I watch you all the time, love all your videos.
Born in Dayton and lived in the towns north of the city proper my whole life. Didn't even realize this cemetery was here. Must have passed it thousands of times just from i75 and never knew it was tucked back there.
I had a friend when I was in high school, whose dad told us a story about how his crew(he worked for the TVA) was digging and found a coffin that the woman was obviously buried alive. Material ripped from inside coffin, body not laying properly. Ya….. horrid way to die.
I am literally obsessed. Savannah is my favorite right now...My family thinks I'm nuts...Here in Miami, FL where I live we have a pretty cool area in one local cemetery that is 1 of 2 large plots dedicated to people who worked with the old traveling circuses. They have a Huge elephant and other amazing markers...Something to see if you're passing thru.
What if you woke up in the inferno and burned alive?! But the good thing is medical technology is so good these days we don't have to worry about this only people in third world countries do.
@@candicehopkins2344 Well if embalmed you know for certain they are dead! Why are we getting on this creepy subject. One way or another our bodies become worm food and we won't be here to worry about it but be with the Lord in Heaven!
It doesn't make sense that she chewed her fingers and pulled out her hair. I think that was hearsay and exaggeration. On her right side perhaps, but if anything her fingernails would have been bloodied trying to scratch her way out.
That is horrific. The thought of being buried alive has always terrified me ever since I first heard that some times this actually happened to people. I can't imagine what horror that young woman experienced when she realized she couldn't get out and breathe. May her soul rest in peace. 🕊🙏🏻🕊
Wow, how terrifying to wake up in a pitch dark coffin like that. I can imagine Anna would be panicking, I have claustrophobia and just the though of that would put me in freak out mode. Her parents had the sad task to see her body no longer looking peaceful would for sure haunt me as a parent.
@@beverlyarcher3744 I had to have one of those & 3 times I pressed the buzzer to come out as I’m also claustrophobic, It was terrifying for me but I also felt so bad for the medical people having to put up with my fears but they were so caring & understanding!! Going through that gives me some “very small” idea of the fear of being buried alive, absolutely horrendous!!😪Let’s hope Anna is resting in peace now🙏
I’ve been a critical care nurse & I wonder if they noticed she didn’t have rigor mortis? Initially I can understand the confusion but in a few hours the body stiffens & gets cold. It’s obvious. We’ve sure came a long way with our thought process.
Agreed Victoria. I just wrote a comment on how grand the graveyards are in america compared to Ireland, Im from Ireland. The UK has pretty much the same graveyards as Ireland.
I remember back in the 1970's one of our teachers talked about people being accidentally buried alive, it truly horrified me and spooked me at the same time. Eaten by sharks or burnt alive! No way too painful. But one things for certain death haunts the human mind unless one is in the safe hands of Jesus. The best tomb stone inscription l have found, read "Nothing in my arms l bring, simply to thy cross l cling".
We are Saved from our sins by GRACE alone through Faith worked in us by The Holy Spirt ! Praise, Honor & Glory to the One True God, Triune, Father, Son & Holy Spirit ! Amen !
Death does haunt humans. It’s a shame that everyone’s death couldn’t just be where they passed in their sleep. I think wondering about how you will suffer is also a large part of that and the unknown.
Why didn't jesus saved her?????😭😭😭😭 Am so scared , I am truly frikking out 😱😱😱😭😭 I heard it's they pronunce dead, then come alive. I remember since little girl my mom always used say , you can't burie strait away for that simple reason that they may Come alive . Dio aiutaci tu 🙏🙏🙏. 💐💐💐
This is probably my favorite cemetery of all that you have visited, Ron. The trees, rolling hills, bright and clear sunlight filtering through the trees, the glowing grass in the sunshine.......really gorgeous. Little Anna is MORE THAN OK. A horrific way to leave this earth. And can you imagine the anguish and guilt the parents and "medical types" must have felt knowing they had buried this girl alive?? But, I don't believe she remembers any of it where she is now. This world is a place of beauty and horror. Anna's story and the breathtaking beauty of her resting place illustrate that SO well. We remain and see both horror and beauty. All that Anna sees is Eternal Beauty, Life and Glory. "Death be not proud! For though some have called you mighty, thou art not so!"
