I explore the catacombs and cemetery at Key Hill in Birmingham but I was followed by a suspicious person. Channel members see longer videos, please consider joining to keep me walking / @deadgoodwalks
I often think about how dangerous cemetaries are with open graves, loose stones and of course humans with nefarious intent! I surely hope you tell a friend/family where you are going.
The tolkiens buried here are his paternal grandparents and uncles/aunts. His mom is buried in Bromsgrove while his dad is buried in South Africa. JRR is buried in Oxford.
I was robbed in Galveston, TX in the old cemetery. Thank Goodness I was far away from the truck. When I got back someone had used old broken tombstone pieces to break every window out. I had hid my purse inside which was so stupid. Everything taken out strewn about all my money/cards gone. I had stopped there because I'd wanted to read some stones for years. My goal was to go to the beach but it started raining. I changed up plans to go to cemetery. I'll never do that again.
Yeah I learned the hard way too years ago, never leave your purse or wallet or money in your vehicle. No matter how far or how long you stray from your car. I used to leave my wallet in my glove box everyday at a job I had at a small warehouse. One day my wallet was stolen. Luckily I only had about 30 dollars cash, but my license, pics and important stuff in it. Luckily (again) someone found my wallet couple days later in a trash can at a gas station a town over. Everything was still there minus the cash. So sorry what happened to you that's awful.
I got a creepy vibe there, I’ll bet you did as well. At least you showed respect reading some of the departed peoples names. Thank you for the tour, and of course, keep safe. 😊
Such a beautiful cemetery, so much history in it. I enjoy your walks, but as others here have said, please be careful. The dead wont hurt you but the living will.
Where did he go? He was so suspicious! You must have nerves of steel. He was definitely creeping around you. What a place but I enjoyed the tour, if it’s any consolation.
There are no pauper graves at this cemetery. The info sign stated that everyone had to pay and “mass” graves were just an affordable way for mid/lower income people to be buried. Not everyone may have their name on the stone as that cost extra.
100% disrupted a drug deal and you would of been mugged if you been further away from the exit at the time. YOU WERE ON THEIR RADAR LONG BEFORE YOU WERE AWARE OF THEIR PRESENCE. GOOD VIDEO THOUGH AND GOOD CALL TO MOVE ON WITH OUT LOOKING SCARED OR IMTIMIDATED.... WHICH MIGHT BE THE REASON YOU'VE STILL GOT YOUR TECH. ANY ONE ESLE THINKING OF DOING KEY HILL CEMETERY THAT IT IS IN HOCKLEY - 2nd HIGHEST MURDER RATE IN BIRMINGHAM AND BEST PLACE TO BY YOUR CLASS A's
Dan, your tour was wonderful and thank you so much for sharing. You be careful out there with those types of people, because you just don't know what they'll do. Also Dan. I was wondering if that name Starkey that you saw in the cemetery was any relation to Richard Starkey, also known as Ringo Starr.
Always have something on you, especially when you, have a camera or phone. A great thing to have is a 2ft maglite torch that is like a police baton . Blessings from 🇮🇪 Ireland. Eamon.
Hey I was here 2 weeks ago filming and ended up being there way too long and it was dark as I left 2 men went walking thro so I hid camera then literally as I stop filming put camera away as I was a bit nervous a man appeared from from behind me and then offered me drugs 😮 scary
Cool cemetary! I can't imagine sleeping in a cemetary ( referring to the Gentleman there with a Tent). At night there, I will bet he's a little freaked out!
If you're homeless youll take any little improvement you can get and bugger superstition. At least in the cemetary I'm betting he doesn't get moved on, so worth it just for that.
Sad and gloomy cemetery. But that could be the weather too! Too bad people feel the need to set up house on the historic graves of others. And you dare not say anything for fear there is retaliation. Be careful out there Dan! Thanks for taking us through it though! 😁
the chap on the bike was probably picking up or dropping off drugs. we used to have a local lowlife who would ride around with a rucksack on his back, hiding bags of drugs in trees for his 'customers' to collect. he might have been hanging around waiting for you to go.
Tolkien and his wife rest in Wolvercote cemetery, Oxford.Their stone lends well for rubbings. Their son is a few rows behind. Also in Oxford at Holy well cemetery, lies Theophilus Carter (who Lewis Carol based the mad hatter on) there too is Kenneth Grahame, first plot just as you enter.
gosh, for a minute there, when you stopped to look at the public graves , near the catacombs, i got excited. i thought i might see where my great great grandfather, john keen is buried. he died christmas day, 1899.
man, u need protection. Imagine walking along the bush with a torch on. Surely, predators will be attracted. You need something to scare the shit out of them. You are walking along the spiritual realm, and for sure, there are predators around. Please be mindful. Much love and respect. I love your work.
I had a terrible fight in a local cemetery .A friend and I were visiting a grave and a bute smelled the weed and well he nearly lost big time - be safe .Sadly a knife,pepper spray can land you in trouble
I like the feel of this one and it looks lovely, rather gothic. Dunno if it's a good idea or not but what about making it sound like you are live on youtube if you get people being sketchy? I doubt they want to be on a live feed doing whatever they are up to.
That Cemetery gave me the chills it was so dark and dismal the graves were interesting though that character with the bike looked very dicey! Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Pretty sure that cemetery was just thoroughly vandalized. What a terrible shock that must have been for those who found the monuments of loved ones pushed over.
Look at minute 23:58. This bike rider was not a real man? A ghost or a spirit of dead man? How can he was come out from the tree? 😨👻🚲 can not believe..
Of course it was a real man, there are no such things as ghosts, and even if there were, how could he ride a bike? Ghosts are supposed to be able to walk through walls aren't they? his feet would pass through the pedals and his bum/body would pass straight through the saddle.
I wonder if the different energies in cemeteries arise from the energy of the people buried in them, similar to how they would be when they were alive. This cemetery is dark and eerie, which I love. I never thought of a cemetery as being dangerous before, I don’t know why. But seems like they can be. Take care. There are plenty of witnesses here, though it would be better for you if you don’t need us. Stay safe.
A couple of years ago, all the fabulous ironwork which replaced and copied from the originals that were removed. So those beautiful gates have all been replaced and the cemetery has really been tidied up. I remember when this was an overgrown gay cruising ground where people would just meet for sex, nobody ever went in there for anything other than that . And it was an extremely dangerous place. Assault were come in places as well as muggings. My grandparents And three of my aunts are buried in a grave near the main gate, the last being entered in 1988 .
