9:26.....'that was a dead end, wasn't it'. Up to that point I had been solemnly watching and thinking about all the people and their lives, and then your (unintentional?) comment had me cracking up. There's a lot of dead ends down there....!
Are you down there on your own?! It’s quite a place. I’ve never seen anything like it, so thanks for the tour. You are very brave. It’s surreal and fascinating as well.
Absolutely beautiful art and history. It'd be great for a movie set, or some other kind of creation. Great job, thanks! I'm born and raised in the United States with ancestry throughout Europe. The rich history is priceless!
Boy! Was that ever interesting. Thank you so much for that walk today. Very interesting. I cannot believe how large it is. Some of the carvings and decorations were stunning. And yet, there was neglected crypts falling into decay.
Thank you for the tour. A bit surreal and disorienting, it took me a few minutes to adjust to the space. That dark section with the black covers looked modern/recent. The deceased in the 'old' section seem forgotten. You're probably the first visitor they've had in quite some time.
The crypt with the chart of placement match the posts to hang the wreaths. The brick ceiling was neat in that area and I noticed numbers up there too. 🇺🇸
Wow, what an eerie place. Amazing tour. I wonder how many souls are down there. You went past one wall that looked to still have some vacant spaces left. Thank you
This crypt didn't seem nearly as creepy as I thought it would. There is a sort of dignity about it. Way better now than its abandoned state before restoration.
What a great tour. So many people who are no longer with us. I often ask myself where are these souls? I think not many people visit this graves. So very sad😢
For such a big and old crypt - it seemed clean and well maintained .Will say....it made me think of subways ,underground, tunnels .A few years ago I'd been to visit a huge above ground crypt ,in Oakland California -here in the USA,.It was for just cremated remains,.A big,expensive ,rather gaudy place -that truly struck me as spooky - a feeling I rarely ever have had when visiting a burial place .
You’re very brave to go down there all by yourself. It’s so big it’s scary you don’t get lost. I’m afraid there’s only one door to get out and there’s no signs how to get back outside too. And all the wall crypts all the same . So ofcourse I would get lost 😞. It looks so scary. Thank you for showing us.
Well, scary is a matter of opinion. Personally I don’t think it’s scary. Also fairly impossible to get lost as such. Just head to an outer wall then follow it round to the entrance. Simple. Cool to see tho.
Visit such places with respect and reverence, do not disturb the peace of the dead, then they will not touch you and will not harm you. Then you don't have to be afraid. Well, don't go to cemeteries at nights. Everything is very simple.🙃😉😇
Thanks Dan for sharing another interesting walk to that Brussels Cemetery. The dark area of that hallway was very interesting and you're right I could almost see somebody top out at you in a horror movie. The Monuments are very beautiful and a very interesting thanks so much.
And don’t forget the small town and townships too Washtenaw County online lists all cemeteries. The cold crypt in Saline and Lodi always looked so scary when I was a kid lol.
It looks like moisture intrusion coming from the entry points and maybe the skylights also. Lots of mildew and moss. The groundskeeper must go through with a leaf bower.
Lol half of those resting souls are the ones who got lost and couldn't find their way out thank you for this tour I have never seen anything like that before 💜👀
Beautiful and slightly terrifying at the same time. I guess it's just the age and damp. I love the pictures and history. Its the only one I've ever seen that has family crypts.
I don't know how the crypt can hold up all the monuments above it. I noticed that a few of the walls bow in, sort of like the shelves that hold the coffins are collapsing.
Had a daft thought while watching this: Imagine the noise in that place on judgement day, all them skeletons breaking out and massing in the corridors in a panic waiting for judgement.
I don’t get spooked in places like that.. I actually find them comforting and serene…cemeteries as well… since I was a child, I loved reading headstones and people’s stories….not creepy…only people at rest…their spirits being elsewhere off on celestial adventures.
