The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Mr. Ron, you're a straight up warrior for exploring that creepy mausoleum
"warrior", I love that!
That’s why we love to come along with you, Ron!
I couldn't have gotten past the first 10 feet inside the exterior door. And the basement...nope, nope, nope! The photos of the woman and 2 little boys was exceptionally creepy!! Glad you made it out safely and before the storm hit. You are way braver to have gone into that mausoleum than I ever would have been! Good video!!
Yes. That one made my heart skip a beat because he was already getting nervous and I was feeding off of his energy lol
So, was that picture of the lady and two boys family of the deceased or were all three in that crypt?
I have severe anxiety disorder and PTSD from my mother's suicide in 2014. Your videos are the only ones on here that hold my attention. Thank you 😊❤😊
Timothy Earl Lomax was killed in the Garfield park shooting 😢
Sending you love and light 🤗
I am so sorry to hear that prayers go out to you 🙏
Praying for peace to your soul. 🦋🙏
Prayers and Blessings for you ❤
@@Loretta318 thank you 💕
I'm fairly sure that the basement does not hold a crematorium. Based on the coal chute and large blower fan, it's the old central heating system for the mausoleum. And that is simply the interior of the heater itself. Hence the newer equipment installed directly next to it, probably just providing air circulation for the building. Regardless the mausoleum does give off a very creepy vibe. Love all of your videos!
Good call. Glen Oaks didn't have a crematory. There are several other cemeteries that had crematories, but not Glen Oaks. The funeral home on/adjacent to the property has a crematory now too.
My grandmother is in a crypt there. I have a key to that place which is normally locked... to keep the ghosts and vampires from getting out, be my guess.
Creepy in the extreme.
Only dubious plus being that dank and musty smell that seems to crawl down your throat when you're in there likely keeps the squirrels and chipmunks out.
Not to mention the ghosts and vampires.
Theyhad lots of airflow through the place. It's required.
May your Grandma rest in peace!
Boy Ron! What a creepy mausoleum. Those cardboard lady and kids scared the heck out of me. Who would put something like that in a mausoleum? Really creepy. It looks like the eyes are following you. Your right, it does remind me of the Sears mausoleum. That basement too! Ugh. I agree, get out of there fast! Thanks for sharing my friend! Stay safe Ron.❤😊
Me too
@Kip Dynamite yes, I saw that, too!
I love how the first thing we see when Ron opens the door is a no smoking sign in a crematorium.
Very funny. I missed that one,
Phew i was glad when you got out of there. That was REALLY creepy.
😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂
What was that weird sound at 11:41? It honestly sounded like someone talking. The cardboard cutouts were creepy, but what is more sad is that it looks like the whole family died within a month of each other! So tragic. I hope they are at peace.
Edit: that loud noise was frightening, but I laughed at the "oh look stairs" . Such a "squirrel" moment 😂
I too thought i heard talking,i had turn off video,made me sick
I thought I could hear talking too
I am watching the video now and I heard the same thing
You have a lot more guts than I do Ron I would have been running to get out after all those spooky sounds. This is an awesome video Thanks for the rush!
It was three o clockami was absolutely terrified watching Ron I Really did fear he was going to get locked in
They’re all being remembered, thanks to you all and bringing us there too. Rest in peace.
That cutout of the lady was creepy. When you rounded the corner I thought she looked like a real person too. That was a bit unnerving. Thank you for this walkabout because we go on adventures with you.
The little boy, on the cut-out, was a 9 year old shooting victim. 😢
@@staysea71 😢
😢
Yea I could just see a bunch of us along for the ride….clown car comes to mind
I think that might have been a coal fired furnace rather that a crematorium. Looks like you heated the fire boxes and the large fan carried the air over them to heat the space. Could be wrong but the openings did not look like ones sized for bodies and no easy path to take bodies down to it. Love to see the old machinery though. Good tour!
That might explain the ash. 😱
Why heat a place for the dead ?
@@chriscringle7740 for the living that visit, the workers who work there and to protect the infrastructure in the building.
Janari Ricks, one of the cardboard cutouts, was shot and killed when he was just 9 years old by a man who has previous criminal convictions
Timothy Lomax was a shooting victim. Someone approached a group he was standing with on the street and opened fire on the group.
That cutout was creepy! 😮
Ron, I am a new subscriber. I only became aware of your channel recently. I do really enjoy your approach and the respect that you always show. When you tell about real historical events and people during your cemetery visits, I just never want to stop watching! Leaving the yellow roses is a very nice touch also. You relate the facts without sensationalizing them. The facts are always stranger than fiction anyway. In closing, you have a friend and follower in me. You understand that everyone should be remembered, because we all have our time here on Earth. Take care and safe travels.
Welcome to our group🌞
glad you found us Ron!!!
Another super cool video. The cut-outs startled me twice. Jeez. I was looking at the death dates in that one and they all seem to have died closely together in 2020. And then... classic Ron as he pauses at the top of the stairs: "Shall we? Shall we?" Of course we shall!
That scared the heck out of me. It's like one of your Halloween episodes, Great job, Ron. You'd be fun to have as a guest at a dinner party. You've got great stories.
Ron!!! My heart was in my mouth almost from the beginning of this one. Just as I thought you were leaving you explored upstairs and came across the life size cutouts 😮. I was completely rooted to the chair, spooked out with the noise of the storm swelling outside. So, I was pleased you were then leaving, but no! you found the basement!!! I could hardly watch as you went downstairs and explored every nook and cranny . I will remember this one for the palpitations i had. Of course I could have just stopped watching but I couldn’t. Thank you Ron, your visit today was scary, creepy but tantalising. Thank goodness that entrance door opened and then suddenly you were in the clear. But, where did all that noise come from?? Where was the storm or the wind that was rattling the windows upstairs? Because it was surprisingly calm outside?? Phew! I could really feel the hairs on the back of my neck go up. You are so brave to have done this on your own 😮
You said everything I was thinking 😂
There is an eerie vibe there even just watching through a screen - sometimes it's good to trust your instincts and not hang around. A lot of places have a lovely sense of peace, but not there. Take care Ron!
As a sensitive, I can definitely attest that there is something unnerving about that mausoleum. I've been in plenty of cemeteries and mausoleums and very seldom feel anything. This place has some weird vibes though.
Safe travels, friend. 💜
I don't know if it was just me being creeped out but I swear I could hear someone walking with Ron.
@@pegs1659 I got that feeling, too. Especially near the end of the video.
I am sitting here in my warm home and I am telling you I feel so nervous don’t want to go to make myself a coffee Ron has nerves of steel I just feel frightened for him ithink
@Pat Cardiff When Ron says he's uncomfortable, you know it's bad.
I have visited several mausoleums and cemeteries over the years. Only once did I get a bad vibe from a cemetery (it was a mass grave created after a mausoleum was severely neglected). I typically don't feel a lot of energy in those places though. This place Ron visited though...it had something unsettling. I felt a lot of unease at the young man's resting place, in particular.
@@ladyapplejackspeaksva j I don’t visit my mothers grave anymore the world is gone such a crazy place and these cemataries are so isolated I never feel safe to visit what chance would we have if a weirdo hung out there
Not everyday we get to see these interesting places and the history behind them thank's for sharing ron.... .
I’m not on here much anymore, Ron, and it was good to see one of your videos. What a spooky tour! You absolutely never disappoint. This reminded me of the time my grandma passed away back in the mid 1960s. The funeral was in February on a cold and windy storm ridden night. The winds were just howling! And, then, there were others howling in the winds as well, ethereal howls that were very similar to the winds, but were moaning cries that turned in to howls to be whisped away. No, I’m not misspelling. It was a whisp sound as the souls were pulled here and there in the winds. Quite frightening an experience for a first time funeral experience at a time when I just started school. The funeral home was packed in the upper rooms and we were told not to go up there, as the rooms are filled with others who had passed, and they were awaiting their own funerals. You can bet we didn’t want to go up there one second! While in the restroom I asked my mom whose voices kept crying, and she looked at me started, then brushed it off saying it was just the wind. I told her it was not just the wind, but she brushed it off affirming it was the wind, but I knew she heard them as well. Later my cousin who was my age was sitting on the steps sobbing. I asked her what was wrong, and she pointed to the upper rooms, saying how “they” never hushed up, they never stopped crying and wailing. She said they were dead and they didn’t want to be. I looked up at those rooms and it almost seemed like we could see their spirits going back and forth in the rooms, but they never went past the doorways, as if they couldn’t. It was very unsettling. I comforted my cousin, and finally told her to get her mind off them, and I took her to the sweet treats that were laid out for the family to eat. She always loved sweets. I told her to take as much as she wanted, then with her hands full of sweets we went to a quiet spot where we and several other children sat on the sofa and floor, and she began to eat her treats, and soon had calmed down and her bright, sweet smile was back again. But she clouded up a second and said, “You heard them, too. I know you did.” I told her yes, and explained that some people love life or had unfinished business when they passed on, and that’s why they cry, but God wipes away all our tears in time. I don’t know where that came from out of me as young as I was, but I knew she needed to hear that, so she wouldn’t continue to worry about the souls who were crying. She finally settled down and was back to her sweet self. It was a sad time for us as grandma was the center stone of the family, and everyone missed her. To have that experience was even more distressing. It was an unsettled night in the funeral home, but near my grandma it felt peaceful and calm, and we all felt her immense love. Hearing those sounds in that mausoleum as you walked through made me think of that night and the sounds we heard. Some souls don’t want to leave. Some I think don’t leave. They do cry for their missed life and missed loved ones. Perhaps they become upset when they see the person walking the halls is not a loved one or friend they miss so much. Sad when loved ones seldom visit their loved ones, or stop visiting all together. Those souls don’t know why, I suppose, and they miss them. You are always so respectful to them as you pass by. Whoever runs the place really should clean it up in the hidden working areas. All that dust gets passed around. At least the area where the people rest is well kept. Glad you got out of there safely before the storm hit. Take care, be safe, and see you soon on another adventure. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words and yes this one was spooky, I was creeped out going in there in the first place. Put on a brave face!!!
Wow, no wonder why this place gave you the creeps. Because it's completely creepy. That dark entryway and those long halls, the eerie echo and complete silence. It feels like an abandoned building. Just think how many cemeteries will be like this one day with all of the old graves around that will have no visitors anymore. It's kind of sad, really. It's still interesting, though. It almost feels to me like it's been creepy from the start. I'm glad I don't have any loved ones buried here. I think it would really depress me to come and visit them ... I mean, more so than the typical depression that comes with visiting deceased loved ones. Love your videos, Ron. They always have that element of suspense and surprise. You keep me coming back for more!
My Great Grandmother, 2nd Great Grandmother were 'sensitive' regarding those who have passed. My daughters and me are the same The entire time you were in that mausoleum I felt nauseous and a heavy feeling in my chest. I am sure you felt the same. Interesting to say the least. You were brave to go in the basement! I live in Iowa and love what you do! Keep up the amazing work.
Puzzling the mixture of ancient equipment & new air systems! Is the crematorium even still used? Recent burials, though. The standup photos kind of a neat tribute but creepy as heck!! You’re one brave dude! Yes I got the eerie feeling too just through the vid. Perhaps so many in there seemed to have died so young. RIP all of you. Thanks, Ron Braveheart!❤
Hey Ron, okay the echo when you closed the door was enough to creep me out. If you feel bad vibes, then there is something bad around. You're braver than I am going down those stairs to where all that stuff was... This had me on the edge of my seat....Love it...
The one with the cutouts, I noticed that everyone in there died in 2020! Funny, a guy that has had to make emergency landings in the middle of nowhere, hiked through polar bear county, bailed out of a plane over the mountains, gets crept out in a mausoleum?? What a fun adventure Ron! Thanks for sharing!!
That whistle we heard sounded like a train to me. This mausoleum is clean and well maintained, but creepy in its stark loneliness. Not a place I would ever want to be!
We got a similar mausoleum here in Spokane, it's creepy, it has cameras monitoring the facility, you have the feeling your being watched and it's not the cameras you need to worry about.
This was certainly one of your most intriguing explorations. The cremains display cabinet starting at 4:05 is particularly interesting, and raises a lot of questions. The cabinet looks like something one would see in a department store other retail place, but not intended for holding cremation containers. It's just a few large panes of sliding glass with locks at the bottom for each one. And the fact that it is on rollers suggests it was never intended for use in a mausoleum. Its only purpose seems to be to conceal the opening to the room behind it. The "hidden" room looks like it was specifically designed to hold cremains but is completely empty and in a state of disrepair, unlike the rest of the mausoleum. In fact, it looks like nobody has been in that room for years based on the accumulation of dust. I'm curious what the story to this room is, why it is hidden, empty and abandoned. I hope you can try to find some answers to this. It may be one of the most interesting aspects of this mausoleum.
Timothy Earl Lomax was killed in a shooting on March 31, 2019 at East Garfield Park. Hey Ron, on another note, watch out for the boogie man haha! You’ll be fine my friend.
Looks like its been awhile since the caretaker was there, considering their are still Christmas wreaths still hanging up. Thank you for all you do! 💜 Now get the heck out of there Ron while you still can 👻
Some places rely on family/friends to take care of it so there is not issues of things being tossed. Even some place make family/friends take care of mowing and weeding graves.
@@brianhaflin9799 I never thought about that, I'm sure you're right.
That... Was a great episode. Loved the underbelly of the place complete with heat exchanger cast cremation tubes. I think the uneasy feeling you feel may emanate from how the frequency from the boiler fan units resonates throughout the structure. Sound does very strange things at low frequency and will all those open vents .. yeah that place is luke z low frequency crucifix shaped speaker. Well done for sticking it out.
That is the above wall of the Crematorium oven. Half of that is broken and you can see the begining half. It is just like a normal oven. It is a pity that it was left to rot like that as the things made in old days lasted for a very long time.
Thank you for sharing this video..As always take care wherever your travels may take you..💛 Was going to mention about Timothy Lomax but one of your viewers already did.I might add that Timothy was trying to help his sister from this disaster, she was wounded from a gunshot that traveled from her chest out to her back missing her spine completely. 3 others were wounded as well from this terrible ordeal. RIP Timothy..
When you asked shall we go down to the bottom. I was like no. It was all very errie didnt seem that peaceful to me. I couldn't have done it. I would have been thinking i might get locked in somehow. Thanks taking the risks so we dont have to x
at 5:21 your light flickers, and at 5:22 you hear a disembodied voice speaking, it sounds like a whisper, but clearly discernable. VERY creepy.
You heard it too????
@@gilliansmom2004 100%. I was surprised no one else commented on it!
Yes!! I was looking for this comment lol, I thought it was the sound of his shoe kind of squeeking on that floor but I swear it was a whisper.
@@tarmach523 I had to listen a few more times because I was in disbelief at first!
Its his shoes? Squeaking on the marble ,I know paranormal activity is real I've witnessed it myself but that wasn't whispers its his shoes and a good mic
Ron Im getting a creepy feeling just watching this. After seeing the episode of the actual cremation, ive changed my mind about cremation. The reason being theres a chance my soul might still be in my body and Ill be darned if I could be trapped in there. Im actually glad i got to see it, because its real and personal. I am obsessed with this stuff as you are. Keep on searching for that certain thing i think we all are searching for but only a select few will admit it. Im also going to be purchasing your book Ron. I know you have led a fascinating life.
I hope you like my book!!
Cremation was always what I wanted as apposed being buried and trapped but like you I don't want to burn either. Just lay me out on a mountain top somewhere and let nature take me. How about we just live forever. Lol
@Wicked West Paranormal I believe our souls do live on forever and our bodies are just like a suit we take off when the time comes.
No your soul leaves as soon as your body dies
@Debbie Kerr I guess we really aren't going to know that until our time comes. I'm the type who will not believe hearsay. I need to experience it myself. Hopefully your right, who knows what the future holds for us.
Amazing episode as always Ron! Love the exploration! One of the decorated places you stopped was Timothy Lomax age 22. On 3/31/2019 in East Garfield Park,, he was killed. 4 others wounded.
You’re very brave, Ron. I would not go down there even for a million bucks. It was scary!
Thanks for sharing. Over all, beautiful place.
It's certainly not full, and the burials are from a lot earlier I noticed, not too many new ones. Seem's like this place was forgotten, or perhaps others have been creeped out too! Nearly peed my pants with the cardboard cut outs, my mine couldn't take in what I was seeing, hahaha! Our intrepid explorer took us for a wild ride today! Thanks Ron
I wonder if the people are all relatives in that one crypt with the life size pictures, because if so, that family had a rough year in 2020. All of those shown in this crypt died in 2020. The lady at the top died March 2020, next gentleman down was June 2020, the child below him in May 2020 & the lady at the bottom in July 2020. So sad.
Per WGN, Timothy Earl Lomax and friends were leaving a party in Garfield Park, about 3:00am when someone walked up to the people leaving the party. Mr. Lomax was shot multiple times trying to save one a woman from the gunfire. The woman was shot in the chest and pelvis. She survived the injuries, in addition 3 other people were treated for gunshot wounds and survived.
You scared the PJ"s off of me with this video. When you were trying to decide rather to go down those stairs, I was saying out loud NO No No. Thanks for a very interesting video.💋
Ooooooh Ron, that was a creepy place, still obviously used by some, but seems like a lonely, forgotten and sad place - don’t get me wrong I don’t expect it to be full of laughs, but just, seems so soulless. Many don’t get a visit but happily some do. The crematorium not in use obviously but so interesting to see what was used 1918 era. Thanks for scaring yourself and some of us when you saw the cut out of the lady and the kids - I’m sure they got a laugh at scaring you Ron. Take care and thanks Ron. x
If this is a Catholic mausoleum, then the repository for cremated remains is called a columbarium. According to Catholic doctrine, cremation is permitted, but the ashes must be buried or deposited in a columbarium. Taking them home and putting them on the mantle or scattering them is considered disrespectful.
One of the little boy life sized cutouts was a shooting. He was 9 years old.Jalisa Ford sits on the ground on Aug. 1, 2020, while rubbing the walkway where her 9-year-old son, Janari Andre Ricks, was fatally shot while playing with friends at the Cabrini Green rowhouses the previous evening. (Armando L. Sanchez / Chicago Tribune)
I was wondering what happened, did the mom died also?
I loved this exploration of this creepy but cool mausoleum! Ron you're fearless! When you found the stairs going down , I said to myself, no way would I go down there, but Ron will!!!😉 I jumped when that life sized cutout of the lady became visible btw at the top of the stairs !!
Hi Ron. The wind blowing at the end of the corridor was scarier that crematorium. Funny how it wasn't blowing so hard outside.....
I noticed the same.
Yeah, I was expecting Ron to step out into a storm, but it was pretty quiet. Even the distant trees didn't seem to be moving much. 😱
Yes, like it was confined to just one area of the building.
Please be extra safe, Ron 🙏
Both inside and outside
I haven't stopped watching your videos since i found your channel several days ago and i still haven't gotten through them all yet! Im hooked! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and compassion Mr Ron ❤️. I have learned A LOT❤
Did you notice that those interred where the standees startled you all died in 2020 within months of each other? March, May, June, July. It makes me wonder.
We've got a storm here right now in the UK. Good grief that not real person would've made me scream..
So glad you put ya big boy pants on and braved going in there for more than 5 minutes, this was really interesting Ron, thank you for taking us round there
Boy that place looks old just by what I see the upper section looks good where the graves are located it seems like no one checks it out Thanks Ron💕💕💕💕
My heart was in my mouth when you went downstairs.. I kept expecting something to jump out .. the things you do to keep us informed .. ty
Your curiosity is so much like mine Ron. Always the adventurer. Always so curious about what could be behind that door!😄
I kept thinking of what is that sound?? Scary as AF....
Sorry but it scared me.
No Ron dont go down the dark stairs. Sounds like someone was calling you to come by the sound of that creepy whistle .
Oh no way. That place needs a door that is locked so that no one goes down there. Way too much for my thoughts today.
O Ron…. That mausoleum you went thru chicago(?) Had the creepiest basement ! You were so brave to go down thru there!
Whoa!!! How strange down there. All had to be part of the crematorium. Yikes😵💫
Thanks for your Adventures.

That was a good tour Ron, looked creepy in the basement. The place itself was so nice with marble everywhere. Be safe driving, hope you beat the storm coming in. Take care. Looking forward to the next video. Safe travels.
Timothy Lomax was killed while protecting a young woman during a drive by shooting after a party. 🤦🏽♀️
I just looked him up. Sad. God rest his soul.
The stillness and how eerily quiet it was…that’s what did it for me. And imagining just laying there in the dark behind a wall day after day, year after year, in all that silence (even though they’ve passed and aren’t aware…still, for me, it’s an awful thought) The silence there was almost unnatural. And I wasn’t keen on the lifesize cutouts of that lady and the two kids…at all. Big nope. Fascinating tour Ron! Stay safe out there x
I noticed the crept with the card board people, that those people died very close to each other. Very sad. I would be interested in learning what happened to those kids and their mother.
This was a cool video. The crematorium was very cool. I’m surprised they didn’t replace it.
Very interesting presentation,Ron.Thanks AGAIN for another amazing tour.Stay safe, friend.
I just recently discovered your channel and I must admit, I LOVE it. I love taking a virtual walk with you through all the cemeteries and looking at all the graves, listening to all the stories. I really enjoy it a lot. This is so interesting! Thank you for creating this fun channel.
cool Corlia, glad u found us!!!!!
The cardboard cut-outs were creepy and something I have never seen in a cemetery let alone a mausoleum they were startling to see there. The basement crematory was also creepy you are brave to venture into that dark place all alone. I wonder when you were looking at the ribbed section of the oven if that was years of accumulated ashes or asbestos.
This was the creepest by far. You have more guts than me. No way would I go there by myself. Goosebumps!
I agree! 😳
Why
Very clean and well kept.
What made the sound at 8:52 and 10:52?
9:03 I love how everything inside these buildings is clad in white marble with some grey veining.
9:45 Three family members all died within 64 days of each other! What happened? COVID had begun in February 2020. I wonder if it was COVID. How awful no matter what it was, to lose your family all in less than 3 months. The trauma has to be devastating for those remaining. I hope someone is checking on those who are grieving.
11:02 Beautiful doors.
11:16 I love these statues.
14:58 The howling, whistling wind sounds like a tornado is coming.
15:11 Did all the lights go off in that dark area?
15:29 Please remember this uneasy feeling. This is how me and my Sis feel in the woods around our home in Vicksburg, MS. Mama said her Mother (my maternal Grandmother) who was very psychic and never ever bragged about it, warned her to warn us about the dead soldiers that are all throughout the woods. Civil War soldiers. That uneasy feeling would come over me and my Sis when we were kids and it was like a tidal wave engulfing us and we would feel like something wanted us to leave right now. We would scramble to leave. Whatever that feeling, it would hit us both. We kept going back playing in our beautiful woods though. And we kept having to run out screaming. That uneasy feeling. I know that feeling. We also have all heard men walking in boots in the woods and it will be broad daylight. Our whole family and all our pets. We watch and listen. You can hear it but you cannot see it.
22:31 Yep. I also heard that sound.
25:06 I was expecting storm and yet it was a sunny day. I heard howling winds inside upstairs. No storm outside. That is perplexing.
Hey Ron! That was definitely a creepy mausoleum… As most people already mentioned I’ve actually heard the voices and whispers to… This is definitely a very active place so it’s understandable that you have that uneasy feeling. I believe what’s down in the basement is just an old heating system for the mausoleum I don’t believe it was a crematorium in my opinion. I think they converted over to a new system that was over to the far left with the “Carrier” name on it. but when you were talking about the old system somebody definitely said “it’s old equipment!” Wow 😮scary! Thanks for the visit!
Wow Ron, you have some HUGE cojones going into that basement all alone!! Props to you for that alone!! That whole place is SUPER creepy! Even from the outside! But then you get in there, and the dim lighting, the dust and cobwebs, the abandoned feel of the whole place! And the incoming storm, and its accompanying wind, only added to the foreboding atmosphere! Not to mention those terrifying cardboard cutouts! My dad had one right in front of the window in his den, when I was younger, of one of his favorite race car drivers. I can't tell you how many times that thing made me jump! To see one in a mausoleum? I'd need to go ahead and find myself a crypt, because I'd die right there on the spot!! I don't blame you for getting a bad feeling-I'd have noped the hell out of there after only taking about three steps inside! That place is TERRIFYING!! Even upstairs! There's no way in hell I would've gone down those dark steps!! Glad we have someone brave enough to give us a look, without having to do it ourselves!! Thanks for the video!
ETA: It's a shame nobody keeps that place up better. There's just no money for anything, these days. And sadly, even when there is, people often don't care. What a shame. May all entombed there rest in peace.
You were not alone, i keep earing ppl chit chatting many times during the video, definatly creepy.
Ron, The big hole or chute as you described it is a return or a plenum. It's job is to return the air back to the furnace so it can be heated again. The old furnace was oil fired, you can see the "gun" on the intact side. A crematorium would have a larger room with better access for wheeling gurneys around, and storage.
Oh my yikes!! I have heard someone whistle when I was in a shed by myself.
I wouldn't worry about making sure the door was shut behind you as you went in. I'd probably wire it open somehow. 😉
Yessir… that gave me an anxious and creepy feeling. The life size cardboard cutouts were definitely heartbeaters! Geez…
So glad you made it out of the crematorium. Deathdust is usually like taking a white glove dust checker. Scary. Even I felt like I got a refreshing breath of fresh air and relief when you opened the doors to the outside!
I recently discovered ur channel on y tube! Have too say ur awesome, and very compassionate! I’ve always been interested in grave yards and the people who rest there. We tend to forget about the ones who have left this earth, and finding ur channel gives them their voice back , if only for a moment in time!!! Thank you! God and my prays will one day put a crown upon ur head!!! Stay safe !!! Always Dana Smith , Clinton Tennessee!!!

Oh that was very creepy. The basement was so very creepy! When you saw the cutouts I jumped 😮 it seems so lonely in there. I can see why you felt the way you did. Thank you for sharing it is fascinating. It’s so old. RIP to all who are laid to rest there. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Those cutouts made me jump too, lol.
Wow...this was an exciting one.
That is definitely a creepy place and I almost jumped out of my clothing when those life size cardboard images appeared. The woman looked very real for just a split second and she and the kids just unsettled me. Someone close to her wanted it that way so I won't judge it, maybe the images are comforting to family members. What was extremely unnerving was the sound the wind( ? ) made in a section of the mausoleum. I was glad you got out of there pretty quickly after that, especially when you got outside and everything looked still out there. It just felt like a very sad and unforgiving place to me. You have guts, Ron, staying in there for as long as you did.
Found the article about Timothy Earl Lomax.. gun violence. Heartbreaking!
Also Janari Ricks. 9yrs...😐
The chute with the doors was the cold air return, and the doors have filters to grab dust out of the air. The little motor ran the huge fan!
It would be interesting to know how they heated that big place, and I would suspect water/steam system that provided hot water for radiators, as that was quiet common in big buildings like that.The only problem, if it quit in the winter, the pipes would break and flood the place, and seeing all of the basement water damage, I suspect that is why they have new furnaces!
The old crematoria retort has been damaged quite a bit! And it would be too expensive to replace that!
This one was so awesome! I am happy you're brave enough to explore the crematorium, especially in the dark like that
Thanks for the walk, I personally didn't find this place creepy. It looked well maintained. But it does prompt the question as to why we think we need apartment blocks for the dead?
Four of the family members in the room with the cut out died in 2020. The young male cut out, Ja ari, is the little boy who died at nine years old. How sad a year it was for that family!
I'd be afraid of not finding my way back out. Like a maze.
Another creepy freaky one! You know the scenes in movies, where you're yelling "Get Out of There!" 🤣
Those cut outs 😮. That 💨 wind. And that Basement, That did it.
I thought that mausoleum was creepy, maybe because the hallways were darker and every step you took just echoed in the emptiness. The storm blowing also made it creepy. Brave of you to take us all in. Always an adventure!
Your adventurer spirit took me much further than I would have been willing to go! Thank you for an incredible video! From the comfort of my own space I found this place very disturbing.
This guy Lomax was shot in east garfield park , he was shot several times while attempting to shield his sister. The case remains unsolved. Gang Violence in a bad neighborhood. When will it end, maybe when some of these killers start getting caught cuz most don't.
He's the friend of the slain rapper young pappy aka shaquon Thomas
You have bye far the best site concerning Mausoleums and Grave yards! Ron do you ever use a Ghost Box? Ron you have Balls like cocoanuts...lol
Hi Ron from Idaho! Love this! If your creeped out I might need to watch with one eye!😅
😜
That place does seem exceptionally creepy, even on video! Thanks for taking us along.
You are one brave soul Ron You had me shaking in my boots.
Judging by the size and location of the burners and the huge blower, I believe you were looking at the old heating furnace, not the crematory. Also the location of the new furnaces in the same location is a give away as well. Great video.
Can you imagine walking round in that basement bit and turning a corner and someone was standing there watching you Oh boy !
@9:19 I got a bit freaked out when you came up the stairs at the cardboard picture. LOL! That is one scary mausoleum! When the ruckus was happening with the air vent and doors rattling I would have ran like the dickens and probably peed myself on the way out.
Maybe in the back of your mind you know some awful person is interred there.
Ty for the tour of this creepy mausoleum Ron. And I know you were glad to get out and got freedom!! Stay safe out there Ron. See you in your next video!!! 💖💖💕💕
Omg. That last one you visited when you heard the whistling, you panned in and those cardboard cutouts were there, I jumped! That totally scared me!
This was a much larger building than i was expecting,kudos to you for going into it alone.Eerie vibes indeed.
Very interesting, your a brave man Ron. I would never go down in a basement like that😅
Wow! At about 10 minutes in theres a Janari Ricks. Got shot down while outside playing. The boy was 9 years old. Rest in peace lil champ! 🕊️
