Exploring an Ancient 17th Century Cemetery 🪦☠️ 🪦 ☠️🪦 

These names probably haven't been spoken in several hundred years. THANK YOU for mentioning their existence...

That jumpscare almost gave me a heart attack 🤦

I didn't know that there's such a name as Thankful. These names have not been mentioned in hundreds of years. Thank you for honouring them.

Kinda amazes me you don’t get and have more viewers. Been watching your content for a couple months and your production quality gets better with every video and I hope you continue to do it because graveyards are just as fascinating as abandoned places and I consider this a form of urbx.

These are the oldest graves in the US.i have seen older in india.thanks for the trip

Thank you for finding Thankful Hallet, a distant cousin of mine. Her 3rd great grandparents, John and Elizabeth Howland, are my 10th great grandparents. They were passengers on the Mayflower. You also found Joseph Hawes, another distant cousin of mine. His 2nd great grandparents are John and Elizabeth Howland. Joseph is Thankful's 2nd cousin once removed.

I’m surprised that some of those people lived into their 70’s and 80’s in that time.

⚫It is wonderful to be present exactly in the places. Where you know for a absolute certainty. The tough courageous people stood centuries ago. Looking at the exact same marker. The fact that they took the time to have a funeral at all. Was a testament to their Love and courage. When survival meant continuous back breaking labor. Brutal deaths at much earlier age, and constant loss.⚫

The public tomb might have been a receiving vault.

I have never heard the name thankful - to see it twice! That’s cool!!

that ghost in the public tomb scared the s out of me lmao

Dude you have to go to St. Augustine, Fl. You could probably do like 10 videos. Its the oldest town in America, colonized almost 200 years before the US was founded. Theres a huge Spanish fort there called the Castillo De San Marcos built in 1668. Theres a great pirate museum, a medieval torture museum, the Villa Zorayda built in 1883 based on the Moorish Alhambra Palace in Spain. The Old Jail built 1891 by the same company that built Alcatraz prison. There's Native American historical places, the lady de la leche church which was the location of the first Catholic Mass held in the United states. So much more I can't think of right now but it would be tons of wonderful content. Look up the places I mentioned!

Thank You!!! i never even thought to look for cemeteries on youtube... whooo hooo 🎉

Interesting exploring cemeteries especially very old ones. Enjoy your videos.

Another great, interesting video! Sure is nice to learn of these remarkable places. Going to try and visit most of them on my exploratory trip to the East Coast.

I live in a small town south of Boston MA, there's a very old cemetery in our town as well that I walk often. It's still in use but in the original section there are burials dating back to the early 1700's and some stones that are older but are no longer readable. These cemeteries are like history books, some of the stones tell great stories. It's also sad when you look at the recent graves that are still visited and tended to by family and then the old ones that aren't because everyone who knew those people are also long gone. Their graves are maintained by the groundskeepers but no one has visited them in a very long time.

Now THIS is intriguing and fascinating! Very interesting brother. I can only imagine what it must’ve been going living in those days.

Love touring these old cemetery

pure poetry each mans life is but a breath

Excellent video. Very interesting.

Great video!!! Enjoyed a look at some of our early settlers gravestones. Thanks so much 👩🏻‍🏫👏🏻🪦🥰‼️

There's a lot of History. Those people would have a lot of stories to tell.

4:13 - you bastard 😂😂😂

That jump scare actually got me really bad lol

After visiting…here’s a tip Find a tap or get some water Sprinkle it over your head and wash your hands…..in our culture it’s a sign of leaving cleansed and no spirits follow-so they can rest peacefully after walking through

You mentioned 3 of my ancestors, thank you

You got me there bro in public tomb

positioning a tall bathroom door mirror to reflect the sun will help you out.

Good stuff

Just a helpful thought: It would be great if you could contact the cemetery staff before your videos in order to locate the oldest headstones and actually show them in the videos.

You said the dates on the head stone but it would be interesting to know what age they all died too.

4:13 bro

A nice trick to read old epitaphs! Bring a high quality bright flashlight! 🔦 If you aim it across the stone, sometimes the writing becomes easier to read! 4:16 That was not nice! 😮😂

⚫ I remember the exact same style drawings. That are carved on some of the oldest stones. That illustrated books from the same era. It is wonderful to actually peer into the past, while in the present.⚫

April Joy White recently died in 2020 peacefully at the age of 54. Not sure what condition she had but something wasn't wrong and I hope she passed peacefully. That's too young in my book. Should do a gofundme to get her a better stone.

❤❤❤

The Mayflower didn't land at Plymouth Rock. The Pilgrims first went ashore on the other side of Cape Cod Bay at what became Province Town. They spent a few weeks there before reboarding the Mayflower and setting out and ending up at the Plymouth Rock site. They did some far out crap at Province Town - chasing natives, robbing native burial sites and stealing native food stores. It wasn't as bad as it sounds but it wasn't all together wholesome either.

Weather effects stones so differently.

I flinched when he look through the holes and the ghost girl popped up. 😂

that jump scare got me bad lol

"Thankful" is a very unusual name, never came across it when going through cemeteries on the Cape. Do you think there were more women named "Thankful" that changed it when they were adults?🤔

The Mayflower arrived in Plymouth in 1620. So Richard Sears would have arrived in Plymouth on a different ship, since he arrived in 1630.

Wow now that's old

am🤲en

❤ got a colonial cemetery where my family is, up Plymouth way, will be investigating soon ...with a Spirit Box.❤❤❤

If you shine a flash lite sideways across the stone it makes it easier to read the words.

I was in Concord recently and saw a grave from 1680 something and I think the guy was oldest to have been born in England. So he was probably on one of the Ships coming over.

Schatzsucher wie lieb dein nam ♥️ hallo aus Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 xoxoxo ❤️ 🇩🇪 🇨🇦 xoxoxo ❤️ xoxoxo ❤️

That's about as old as you can get in the US. Nice job.

1642 Old North Cemetery, Ipswich, MA

Whahah...that public tomb joke...😂

Eu estava distraída e levei um susto com aquela mulher.

my son who is 8 was watching this, we are in england. And he has autism and is learning american history, that jumpy bit you put in really scared him and upset him, can you put in a disclaimer. He is only a child ????

Sue found one t-in Ireland 1622.

Let me know if you come across a Temperance

Did you find any body with the name Spurlock buried there late 1600s?

Who takes it upon themselves to make a reproduction of a deteriorating gravestone? And where does the original go?

'Old' yes, 'Ancient' not yet'

1700 is actually the 18th century.

*The bible is supernaturally changing. Ravens replaced sparrows in Luke 12:24. The wolf is now living with the lamb instead of the lion laying down with the lamb in Isaiah 11:6. Noah now releases a raven before a dove from the ark in Genesis. Many changes.*

Not "settlers", *invaders*.
