People move on, it was 35 years ago. Maybe his family have moved? Maybe they have passed? My Father died 20 years ago and I moved 300 miles away. It doesn’t always mean they have been forgotten.
Honestly all graves within 1 maybe 2 generations will be forgotten. Eventually when they want the property for something else they most likely dig it all up eventually.
Their souls/spirits do NOT reside there! Their spirit is not stuck in the grave! He's been called home by his creator. Maybe his family is long gone or maybe they don't need to visit his grave to feel a connection as HE is not in the ground. Maybe they find more peace remembering and loving him without sitting at the place that hold's the deteriorating vessel he inhabited in this world.
What a heartbreaking story, only 16 years old.. what a shame he's been forgotten, not even one of his friends have came by to visit him and clean his head stone.. Thank you Ron for cleaning it off the best you could.. may John be resting in peace, and having play days with his dog. God bless..
@@lisag18 that “corpse” was a young man. If it’s just a corpse, why have funerals or headstones at all? My nephew died a few months ago, and his body in the coffin is the only thing his mother has left. She sits by him and reads Harry Potter. Please, don’t be so quick to dismiss a “corpse” 🙏🏽
@@lisag18 that "corpse" will one day come out of his grave when Jesus calls up the quick and the dead. Remember that next time you think, "just a corpse."
unfortunatly,his friends probably, had such a bad experience, they just moved on with there lifes, and want to kind of forget what happened to them!, and as a result, never came back to visit there friend john. sad but true. rest in peace john, we the people that heard your story feel your pain, and are here for you. though you cant see or hear us, we know how we feel. although we never met, you are not alone!, and you are loved. god bless you, rest in peace, in heaven.
Some people grieve so hard they can't bear to visit the grave of a loved one - they may have moved or passed over, as well. Thank you for cleaning off John's marker. You're very kind.
Sad story, the part when you said this boy has been forgotten, really hit home! This is the main reason I have requested of my family, do not bury me in some cemetery to be forgotten after a few years!! I sure my wife, children and possibly my grandchildren will visit but after that.....!! Cremated or one of those places with the trees or bushes that are becoming popular! Love your work Ron!
RIP John. This is so tragic . He was probably so excited to be going to a concert with his friends. Thank you for cleaning his headstone off its so sad he is truly forgotten.
From looking at that picture it looks like that boy to me and it looks like he’s screaming “no”. It’s sad when anyone dies but it’s sadder when young kids like that lose their life at such a young age…😢 I’m glad you told this boys story Ron, he needs to be remembered, not forgotten… Stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟
May young John rest in peace. He will now be remembered. Thank you for telling us about John, and for looking after his gravesite, Ron. I have a cousin who died in a similar car accident as a passenger. It also was raining and foggy, and the car went around a steep curve, but hit water and hydroplaned into a telephone pole. Like with John, my cousin was the only one to die in the accident. This really got my heart. I’ll always remember John.
At the beginning of this video I thought how fun to see you in my hometown of St. Paul. But I found this story so profoundly sad. John was just two years older than me. It’s not likely we ever crossed paths - there are more people in the Twin Cities than you might think. But we could have. Had he lived I imagine we’d go to the same games to watch our high school teams play against each other. Or maybe he would have been on the field. And it’s interesting that he was about two months past his sixteenth birthday when he died. About two months after my sixteenth birthday (in January of 1987) I was driving my friend and I around aimlessly on a Saturday night which for some reason we found super fun at that age and we were hit nearly head on by a drunk driver. We were wearing seatbelts but it’s still a miracle that we weren’t hurt. RIP John.
Wow! I hope he is resting in peace, This picture is amazing and creepy at the same time. Thank you for cleaning off his tombstone, very respectful and caring,
My Mom passed in February 2013 and before she died she told me her mama paw and her two late brothers one brother died in as a infant and her other brother in 2000 where there to take her home on 23rd of February she was so happy to see them all I told her it was okay to go that Dad , I and Danny would be okay with out her and we would see her again one day. My Dad follow her 3 weeks later and my brother follow the 2 of them in July of 2014. So I loss 3 people I live with. Within 16 months all 3 where gone one of cancer ,one of broken 💔 and one kidney failure 💔 😢 I never got over it I know they are in better place but I won't will never get over it and once I go No-one will visit our 4 graves I have 2 other siblings and nieces and nephews who don't go to cemetery . So we will be forgotten 😢 💔 too.
Hi Ron, John must have been shocked that his young life was ending. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grave that was in such horrible condition. Thank you for cleaning it up. Maybe someone that visits the cemetery for their loved ones will take a little time to continue to keep it a little more tidy after your story. That would be kind. Thank you Ron. Connie Gross
@Don Gross Hi Don, I think keeping graves clean is something we all should do. Every time I visit the graves of family and friends I always bring some gardening tools in my car. I make a point of tidying up a few graves on each visit. I don't know the people buried there but it gives me great pleasure to do it for them and their families who perhaps can't visit them. Then I just sit by the grave and have a quiet chat for a few moments. Recently I met a woman tending the unmarked grave of a relative she had not known about till recently. She is getting a headstone for the grave. She's also been doing the exact same as me on each visit.
@@bahoonies So very kind of you. I do that too when I decorate the graves of my family. I go along and tidy a grave or two up a little bit. It’s just a little respect for those that were here. Take care and thank you 🙏.
@@dongross6624 It's so nice to see we're singing from the same hymn sheet. As somebody once said - the dead are not so very far away. Best wishes Don and long may we continue to do it.
I am a paranormal investigator, doing it since 1965. Still do occasionally when I'm asked. This first part is amazing evidence of paranormal activity. Thanks for sharing 😊 it amazes me how much you care and respect the people you introduce us to.
If the paranormal really existed, and you are a paranormal researcher, government agencies would have either hired you against your will to work for them in the research, OR forbidden you from discussing anything related to this field at the pain of legal consequences, like what had went on involving nuclear energy since 1945. And like nuclear energy, if there is direct evidence that the paranormal exists and can be tapped for energy, warfare, and technological use, governments worldwide would have monopolized all research into that field.
@@BlueSkyCountry if you have ever had a paranormal experience you would understand. This isn’t a field the government or anyone else has control over. I hope at some point during your lifetime you have the honor of experiencing an event, however slight. God Bless!
This picture really bugs me out and I was thinking the same thing as you commented. People say that death is peaceful but apparently not. This picture makes me fear death. I fear that I have sinned too much to exit this world totally peacefully. And I'm in my 40s now. This guy was a baby when he died.
@@jorgejustice You don't have to fear death, if you ask Jesus Christ to come inside you. He will save your soul and when you die, you will go to heaven, not eternal death. All you have to say is, Father forgive me of my sins. I ask you you to heal me, inside and out of all the sins I have done in my life. And I ask you to come inside my heart and live in me forever and ever. Jesus loves you so much, that he hung on the cross, in your place, and died for you, so you won't ever have to die forever. Just receive his love and you will be saved. it's that simple.
@@kathybuck9288 hi Kathy...I am a Christian. I accepted Jesus and I love God. But something feels very wrong to me about that Christian doctrine... If an all knowing all encompassing God makes laws where he would have men stoned to death because they picked up a stick on a Saturday, that makes me question if you would welcome you with open arms when I die because I have done much worse than not honoring the Sabbath... I'm not trying to convince you how much I suck, I'm just saying I have a lot of issues and maybe the right person could have the right conversation with me at the right place and time. That's what I'm hoping. I always wanted what you're saying, a piece of mind concerning the afterlife.
Bless you-Ron for clearing the headstone on behalf of John's memory. John saw it coming; and he didn't want to die. It's such a sad and lonely way to leave this earth. I believe it was his last expression, as he was sent out in the universe. 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
I never get tired of listening 🎧 to Ron. He gives such dignity to the victims of the stories he relays to we the audience. I appreciate the energy, time and love he puts into the investigations.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I lost a few friends in high school due to car accidents. Watching this video broke my heart. When you're that age, you feel invincible. Like you could live forever. I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to pictures like this, but I see disbelief, anger, and sadness in the face. He wasn't ready to go, he still had more life to live. Very kind of you to clear off his headstone. Wishing him and his family love and peace
Yes, you must get a small grave kit put together! Awhisk broom, edgers, a quart of water, maybe a bit of baking soda and scrub brush and a towel. That way when you see a grave you've specifically gone to tell a story about, you can fix it up a bit! I watch a gentleman here on RUclips that cleans military veterans graves and one that does older tombstones, I am absolutely gob smacked at the work they do! Some even level stone's and everything. I can support that! I think it's awesome. I'm not suggesting you do all that, lol! However, a small kit taken along would help for stories your covering. When you said this young man had been forgotten, and all I saw was sticks, I thought oh boy, he doesn't have a marker. I soon saw what you meant by forgotten. It has definitely been many years sense someone visited his grave. Surely he still has living family! He's 2 years younger than me! So if he had brothers or sisters you'd think? Jill Gross
Be blessed my friend. Thank you for cleaning off his headstone and thank you for not forgetting about John, it seems like his family and friends have for so long. RIP John 🙏✌️💜🌈
One of the interesting things about the close-up of the apparition is that there is apparent movement of the head. It's more or less an action picture, where you can see the lines behind the head as it is moving forward. You can also see two variations of the mouth, one almost overlaying the other. The fact that this is a photograph taking by the police and developed by the police adds to its validity, and that it hasn't been doctored. I've always enjoyed your narration, Ron. This one gave me chills.
So sad that John has been forgotten by the state of his resting place, thank you for clearing away all that debris from his grave. I do believe in the paranormal & i do believe our souls leave our body, when my mum was dying she said that she had seen her dad. I do believe that her dad/my grandfather had come to take her to heaven, great photos. Rest in peace John
RIP John. Thanks Ron for sharing his story. So young at only 16, to have his life taken. Kiss was my very first rock concert in 1990 when I was only 14 🥲
This is a interesting story about this young boy John. Thanks for not forgetting him ... you always do a great job...Ron...ty sir....I'm going to watch your other channel and finish watching this story....have a safe travelling trips as you go Ron ...💖😉🙏
Thank you for bringing us this story. God rest John's soul. Thank you so much for cleaning John's grave- that was so very kind of you. Headed to Part 2. Have a great day.
The only reason a child's grave would be forgotten is that the parents couldn't deal with his passing and literally fell into a devastating depression and neither parent are no longer alive, he must have been an only child and probably has no more immediate family members to care for his gravesite. Thank you for cleaning his headstone
Well said the grieving of a loved one whether young or old is extremely painful some parents cannot handle seeing their kids that's has passed on in a coffin and cemetery
Wow!!! How sad, and spooky. I know of someone who died drunk driving. He hit a tree, and died on Saturday December 6, 1980. Only 19 years old, and would have turned 20 on January 4, 1981. I have never seen his ghost, though. How do we really know that anyone is really in a better place?
His gravestone, a piece of cold metal marking the shell that transported his precious spirit on Earth, has been neglected. I have no doubt John himself is carried safe in the hearts of all who loved and will continue to love him, until they too are called home. People shouldn't get hung up on man-made memorials, they are not important. Our memories are what matters.
Correct. This happened almost 40 years ago. Most of the people he knew then have probably moved, got families and lives, some may have passed themselves. It’s just a marker, just because it’s not cleaned every week, doesn’t mean he’s forgotten, that’s ridiculous.
This was so sad but thank you Ron for bringing this to your Chanel. It was heartening to think loved ones as well as his dog came for him as he passed over. I worked delivering a sensory based activity timetable for a young man in his 30’s that survived a similar crash. His friends died at the scene but he took a side-blow to the head and neck. He lived for around 10 years with total paralysis, not able to swallow food or utter a single word. Yet he understood everything that was going on around him. Even though he was surrounded by people that loved him and cared wonderfully for him, his life was a very difficult one until he eventually passed away with pneumonia. I am often reminded of him when I see a speeding car full of youngsters taking real risks. 😢 RIP John, may your family have some peace knowing you are in good hands.
Ron, You did a great job. Your presentation is great. The story you picked to share is amazing. Presenting the picture and your thoughts is a good way to approach this, and yet you leave the viewer to draw their own conclusions. Very good. Enjoyed this video alot. Keep 'em coming. All the best to you.
As a retired nuse l know weird things happen around the time a patient passes. Some see family members dressed in black outside their door. Some see heaven and talk of its beauty...others see hell and speak of their feet burning........l did witness these things!
Very interesting. And very TRUE! No one can escape death! But where will you go when you die? The choice is up to you. Choose wisely. It’s either one of two places, but you are def NOT roaming the earth as a lost spirit. And being a “good person” won’t earn you a ticket into heaven, for all have fallen short of the glory of God. We can do nothing to earn our salvation. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. “No one comes to the Father but by me!” I know this now. It is a free gift from God, for all who believe in Christ shall be saved, but those who do not believe are condemned already. For the dead have nothing to do with the living (Deuteronomy 10). I have learned so much by God’s grace and His word. I used to practice psychic mediumship and communicate with “spirit” on a daily basis who believed the Bible was nonsense and religion was a man made form of control of the masses - until I actually read it and began to understand. It’s not about religion. Jesus rebukes religion and the Pharisees. It’s about having a personal relationship with Jesus. These spirit claimed to be deceased loved ones and my spirit guides. I was deceived. These are not deceased loved ones. They are FAMILIAR spirits, demons, POSING as loved ones to deceive and lead astray. For even Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light! The enemy preys on our grief!! They use things such as grief and trauma as the door to enter and we give them legal rights by disobeying the word of God and entertaining it. I know from firsthand experience. Everything God forbids is for our protection because He loves us more than we will ever know! This stuff is very real!! I even have some of the messages these fake spirit left me in REAL TIME (using spirit boxes and apps), telling me things I never should’ve known. But things got dark fast and beyond scary as hell! They hate when you pray! They hate when you turn to God. They hate the name of Jesus Christ!!! Because they must submit to His authority. Once I got saved the hauntings and paranormal activity stopped for good. But it wasn’t until I accepted Christ that they stopped. They were literally mocking me as I was begging God to make it stop. I was demonically attacked and harassed until I repented and rebuked it all, acknowledging Christ as my personal Lord and savior. I never believed the Bible or even bothered to read it. That is, until, these same very spirit, when asked what they thought of it, said verbatim, “BELIEVE IT!” I’m now reading it for the third time and it blows my mind every time, how amazing our God is. You’re either convicted or offended. But one thing is for sure, we can not save ourselves. God bless ❤️✝️🙏
This is a sad story about this young man loosing his life. Very eerie feeling with the picture of the accident and the actual picture of John. It does look like he is saying No or Oh. Looking forward for part 2.
John did not want to die. He was way too young. He wanted to stay and have fun with his friends. This is the most imbalanced Universe. So many evil people are left on the planet and they never get punished, and they get spared in the next life, and then there's these kinds of kids that want to stay on Earth and have fun, When people talk about going to rest in peace, these people don't want peace, they want fun. He wanted to stay with his friends and have all kinds of fun times with them. He was cheated out of it. Very unfair. He would much rather be with his friends than be with his deceased relatives. Many people are not close with their relatives, but they're very close with their friends. So many terrible things happen to people and they're forced to do things against their will. This boy was forced to die and go where he didn't want to go. Very tragic. God should be taking the evil people off the Earth instead. God keeps them around, and it's hard to get them off the Earth. This entire Universal setup is just so completely unbalanced.
@@zoec703 , John missed out on so much fun on Earth. If Heaven is supposed to be so wonderful, then why was John screaming NO, and desperately wanting to stay here with his friends. There are so many rotten evil people on Earth that live very long lives and they enjoy every ounce of their lives and they have the greatest moments on Earth, and all John wanted was to have a little bit of fun, and he was taken away so young, against his will. When people talk about resting in peace, who wants to do that, when people want to have fun, and that's all they want to have is fun. Life is so imbalanced and so unfair, and the only people who really feel unfairness are the people who are affected by it. The people who have it so good on Earth, and who got away with everything, and they're totally blessed, don't care about what the other people have to suffer. This whole Universal setup is so messed up. It is such a sad situation for John, because it was out of his control. So many rotten people just keep on living forever on Earth, and they're a human waste of space.
@@jsterling6805 , You do escape karma, and so many people do. This boy didn't deserve to die so soon. What about all these bad rotten people why are they not getting off the Earth? This Universe is the most messed up place I've ever seen.
Ron, thank you so much for cleaning John's marker off, it looks a lot better. I wonder why he's been "forgotten", maybe his parents are no longer living in that area to go and visit him??? So sad... God Bless
When I first saw the photo, it looks like a contorted light blur. But after seeing his in life photo. It looks like his face, features, hairline. What a scenario to speculate Thank you for cleaning his marker. Looking forward to part 2 on the other channel. 🙋♂️🐈🐈🙏
This was amazing to THE Core.. I've always been kind of fascinated by The Paranormal. The FACT that this picture by the On Scene Officer taken gives without a DOUBT the authenticity of this Image.. This Policeman sees much on any given day but I CAN guarantee you He'll NEVER forget this night while on Duty..
Thank you for caring for his grave, Ron. Just knowing that there are good people out there telling his story means we can all learn and he won’t be forgotten. This is such an interesting story. I am looking forward to your new channel content as well as watching your other videos. Wishing you safe travels.
I think you are right, I seen two souls go up and leave thru the window at hospital. They were older so they were ready to go. But a younger boy wasn't ready yet. RIP. Cindy
Thank you for remembering this dear boy and clearing off his grave. He is somewhere else now, not concerned with his grave any of the cares of earth. I'm definitely going to check out your other channel, Intangible Quests!
Of course it's him. Why couldn't it be!? I believe anything is possible! You tell these stories so beautifully, respectfully and with love. Your channel is my favorite.
I'm a believer and this is a very intrigueing story. I have subbed both channels. In my opinion, John knows you were there. I say this because people who pass quickly as he did, and at such a young age, are the ones who stick around. Unfinished business, I imagine. Thank You so much for showing respect and care for this young man. How could a family forget so quickly, I will never understand!
When your dead you can't stick around. You can't come back, we are not God. We either go to be with the Lord or suffer eternal separation from the Lord. That picture tells where he was headed. Very very sad. The Gospel for our salvation is 1st Corinthians 15:1-4.
Thanks for cleaning the headstone, and yes a headstone cleaning kit would be a good idea to have on hand. I am enjoying your channel and looking forward to the new one. I love a good spooky story! 😊
Thank you for cleaning off his headstone and caring for this young man. You are a great person to do that. Not very many people would have. Thank you again ❤❤
There's a Margaret Rarig Boulware listed (80+yrs old). His mom? Her resident history includes St Paul, MN/ Minneapolis, MN/ Colorado Springs, CO and most recent Seattle, WA. Thank you for sharing John's story.
Poor lad that's got to be an horrible thing too happen looking at that picture he wasn't ready too go and cleaning his grave stone was a lovely thing to do Ron your a Saint
I really believe this Ron, great story, I believe the picture was taken when his spirit left his body. I’m so sad he’s been forgotten, I guess his parents are gone or moved away. Thank you Ron for paying such respect to him. RIP John ❤️
I very much doubt John has been forgotten. He was a beloved son, grandson, brother and friend. There must be many people around today who loved him deeply, whose lives were forever changed by his sixteen years of life, and who will carry him in their hearts till it's their turn to leave this Earth. Surely that is how we would all want to be remembered - alive and vibrant, talking, smiling, walking, laughing, hugging, the other half of a loving relationship that has not ended just because we have passed on. I don't want anyone wasting their precious time on Earth tidying a cold plaque with my name on it, standing over the shell that once transported my spirit, and 'paying respects'. One thing's for sure - I won't be there! Show your respect for me by enjoying every day you're lucky enough to be given, until you too are called home. The famous poem of the 1930s said it best: Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die!
@@glamdolly30 A gravestone is not just for the deceased. It a special place where family and friends can go to remember. In my experience, and I imagine, that of the vast majority of people, it gives great comfort just to stand in silent prayer, lay flowers and tidy the grave. I have just had the grave of a great uncle who died before I was born renovated. It was a privilege to do it for him. You talk of your body as just a shell that contains your spirit. I understand that but it is that outward shell, the look in your eyes, the sound of your voice, your smile, your laughter, your touch that we know and love. And it is very, very special to us. It's very hard to lose a friend or loved one but it's so special to stand by a grave and remember. It's never a waste of our time.
@@glamdolly30 My grandmother knew when she would be dying, 25 years ago.She was tired from dialysis and decided she didn’t want it any more. She said not to bother with her grave or plant flowers because she wasn’t going to be there. We do though, it makes us feel better I guess.
While there are no definitive answers, j think the photographic evidence points toward paranormal phenomenon. You did a great job telling this sad story, Ron. May John Rest In Peace.
If the paranormal really existed, the government and military research agencies would have long ago monopolized research into it, and forbidden us peasants to pursue the subject any further.
Can't believe his family forgot about him,nobody should be forgotten about.Where is the rest of his family buried at? I can see why he was yelling No when his soul passed from this world 😔. John some how knew he would be forgotten.Thank you Ron
I hope John's loved ones never see your post, or any of the other thoughtless comments saying he has been 'forgotten' and suchlike. What nonsense. He died tragically at just 16, there are undoubtedly people walking around today who loved and continue to love him deeply, forever changed by his life and death. No one should make such harsh judgements merely based on a neglected grave. I would far rather my loved ones remember me at happy times, than at lonely visits to tidy a cold stone or metal memorial marking my bones.
@@desertweasel6965 That is the truth. And we need more comments like this instead of the usual canned and useless platitudes that people post on tragic videos to make themselves feel better.
Thank you Ron for cleaning this young man's grave. I really would like to give John flowers somehow. 💐 I must of been horriblerific. Heartbreaking and Soul wrenching.
Oh dear! His grave was nearly hidden! Thanks for cleaning it off. By the look of the area, when it gets more rain, it will probably send mud down on his grave and the rest of the graves! I'm sure he's resting peacefully now! Thanks for sharing his story Ron! 🙏 💕
Great story Ron, my Aunt Ruby died the night she died I was taking pictures in front of my grandma's house and the road in front of it. My Aunt appeared in one of the pictures I took! When I was looking through the pictures at her house I saw her image with her son and we both saw her. It was like she was saying goodbye. She died of an aneurysm before she hit the ground no one actually got to say goodbye.
ok i dont know how i found you but im so glad i did,as soon as you started walking to show us the cemetary,i realized how nice your camera is,so clear and no blurriness thank you .i love cemetaries.new sub today ; )
His birth date and year is the same as mine. I just turned 54. That kinda freaked me out once you cleaned it off and revealed it. My jaw dropped as well and I said wow. Crazy feeling it was.
I'm so amazed by the photo, that certainly looks like that poor young man. I've known a few people who have seen a light or form above the body of a loved one who passed. Still so tragic that he was taken so young. It made me sad to see his stone there all but hidden 😔 Thank you Ron for cleaning that up for John, you're a good guy 🌷💖 We will not forget this boy, he's in a better place, rest in peace 🙏
Mental distress and anguish from facing the trauma of having a loved one pass away in front of them can cause the release of a lot of dopamine, adrenaline and other neurotransmitters that can cause the person to see and hear things that are not there. Incidentally, overdoses of caffeine and other substances which cause this same flux of neurotransmitter release can also induce hallucinations in patients who had one too many energy drinks or cough syrup.
@@jsterling6805 You know how easy it is to doctor a photo in this style even with 1990s technology right? You want to know how I know that ALL "ghost" photos are fake? I created a lot of them that are still circulating on the Internet to this day, still being shared, perpetuated, and gawked at by the gullible.
🤦🏻♀️I didn't want to cry today.✔️You're right when you said "he's in a better place". 🌹You're a good♥️hearted man, for paying your💐respects (as did I) to such a young man💔gone far too soon. 🤲🏻Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦✌🏻💔🇺🇸✨🌎💫
Ron want to say thank you for taking the time to clean up John's grave very kind. So sad he met such an untimely death so young may he rest in peace .
God bless his dear Memory.
Ron it is very good to find and clean John's grave and tell his soul to rest in peace may it be so with grace and mercy from Almighty God
Don't know about you, but I cried when Ron cleaned John's forgotten grave off. Bless him, that was such a kind thing to do.
That upset me a lot...if they thought he was "dead", then why not just please try!?! Maybe that's why his spirit was lingering...
The friends should maybe have tried..just ANYTHING..
@@mombradshaw5528 easy to judge when it’s not happening to you. Shock etc
But everyone is eventually forgotten
You are a good man, Ron. Thank you for clearing his grave. Such a shame that he seems to have been forgotten 😞 An incredible story too.
Yes I agree Was great of Ron cleaning up the grave.May John RIP💐
People move on, it was 35 years ago. Maybe his family have moved? Maybe they have passed? My Father died 20 years ago and I moved 300 miles away. It doesn’t always mean they have been forgotten.
Honestly all graves within 1 maybe 2 generations will be forgotten. Eventually when they want the property for something else they most likely dig it all up eventually.
Their souls/spirits do NOT reside there! Their spirit is not stuck in the grave! He's been called home by his creator. Maybe his family is long gone or maybe they don't need to visit his grave to feel a connection as HE is not in the ground. Maybe they find more peace remembering and loving him without sitting at the place that hold's the deteriorating vessel he inhabited in this world.
@@whatfreedom7 is that legal? There are so much land occupied by century old graves
What a heartbreaking story, only 16 years old.. what a shame he's been forgotten, not even one of his friends have came by to visit him and clean his head stone.. Thank you Ron for cleaning it off the best you could.. may John be resting in peace, and having play days with his dog. God bless..
@@lisag18 that “corpse” was a young man. If it’s just a corpse, why have funerals or headstones at all? My nephew died a few months ago, and his body in the coffin is the only thing his mother has left. She sits by him and reads Harry Potter. Please, don’t be so quick to dismiss a “corpse” 🙏🏽

unfortunatly,his friends probably, had such a bad experience, they just moved on with there lifes, and want to kind of forget what happened to them!, and as a result, never came back to visit there friend john. sad but true. rest in peace john, we the people that heard your story feel your pain, and are here for you. though you cant see or hear us, we know how we feel. although we never met, you are not alone!, and you are loved. god bless you, rest in peace, in heaven.
Some people grieve so hard they can't bear to visit the grave of a loved one - they may have moved or passed over, as well. Thank you for cleaning off John's marker. You're very kind.
That’s a very good point, it was so hard and tragic.
On 16...😔
I haven't been able to visit my son's grave and it was 3 years in October since he died.
Sad story, the part when you said this boy has been forgotten, really hit home! This is the main reason I have requested of my family, do not bury me in some cemetery to be forgotten after a few years!! I sure my wife, children and possibly my grandchildren will visit but after that.....!! Cremated or one of those places with the trees or bushes that are becoming popular! Love your work Ron!
RIP John. This is so tragic . He was probably so excited to be going to a concert with his friends. Thank you for cleaning his headstone off its so sad he is truly forgotten.
Whoa!!!! That is something else! That photo looks just like that young man! Thank-you Ron for remembering John and cleaning up his headstone! ✝
It breaks my heart to see his grave so neglected. Thank you for caring so much about all of the forgotten ones.
Well, he died roughly 40 years ago. Everyone he ever knew has probably died or moved on.
From looking at that picture it looks like that boy to me and it looks like he’s screaming “no”.
It’s sad when anyone dies but it’s sadder when young kids like that lose their life at such a young age…😢
I’m glad you told this boys story Ron, he needs to be remembered, not forgotten…
Stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟
yeah seems like he's angry and says NO!!!
@@ringoooringooo2190 Not angry terrified! He wasn't seeing holly angels. Seek Jesus while you still can.
or he is screaming HELLOOOOO he doesnt understand why nobody is paying attention to him.
@@davidsierra5312 right on…Jesus saves
@@davidsierra5312 Facts. I've heard plenty story of when people scream while dying means satan got ahold of they soul it's too late
May young John rest in peace. He will now be remembered. Thank you for telling us about John, and for looking after his gravesite, Ron.
I have a cousin who died in a similar car accident as a passenger. It also was raining and foggy, and the car went around a steep curve, but hit water and hydroplaned into a telephone pole. Like with John, my cousin was the only one to die in the accident. This really got my heart. I’ll always remember John.
John will be a hard young man to forget for sure💔💔💔🌹
Thank you, Ron, for the compassion you feel/show toward so many of the neglected graves you visit and you taking time to clean them up. God bless.
At the beginning of this video I thought how fun to see you in my hometown of St. Paul. But I found this story so profoundly sad. John was just two years older than me. It’s not likely we ever crossed paths - there are more people in the Twin Cities than you might think. But we could have. Had he lived I imagine we’d go to the same games to watch our high school teams play against each other. Or maybe he would have been on the field. And it’s interesting that he was about two months past his sixteenth birthday when he died. About two months after my sixteenth birthday (in January of 1987) I was driving my friend and I around aimlessly on a Saturday night which for some reason we found super fun at that age and we were hit nearly head on by a drunk driver. We were wearing seatbelts but it’s still a miracle that we weren’t hurt. RIP John.
I am SO PROUD of you for cleaning that up …Super major respect for you my friend…
This story gives me goosebumps. How can he be forgotten 💔😢. Thank you Ron for taking the time to clean his headstone . RIP sweet boy.
Just because someone doesn't go to a grave doesn't mean they are forgotten, that's ridiculous.
Wow! I hope he is resting in peace,
This picture is amazing and creepy at the same time.
Thank you for cleaning off his tombstone, very respectful and caring,
My Mom passed in February 2013 and before she died she told me her mama paw and her two late brothers one brother died in as a infant and her other brother in 2000 where there to take her home on 23rd of February she was so happy to see them all I told her it was okay to go that Dad , I and Danny would be okay with out her and we would see her again one day. My Dad follow her 3 weeks later and my brother follow the 2 of them in July of 2014. So I loss 3 people I live with. Within 16 months all 3 where gone one of cancer ,one of broken 💔 and one kidney failure 💔 😢 I never got over it I know they are in better place but I won't will never get over it and once I go No-one will visit our 4 graves I have 2 other siblings and nieces and nephews who don't go to cemetery . So we will be forgotten 😢 💔 too.
Wonderful storytelling as always, Ron. I hope John is at peace. Thank you for clearing his grave marker. I'm headed over to watch part 2 now!
Adele😍
Hi Ron,
John must have been shocked that his young life was ending.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grave that was in such horrible condition.
Thank you for cleaning it up.
Maybe someone that visits the cemetery for their loved ones will take a little time to continue to keep it a little more tidy after your story.
That would be kind.
Thank you Ron.
Connie Gross
@Don Gross Hi Don, I think keeping graves clean is something we all should do. Every time I visit the graves of family and friends I always bring some gardening tools in my car. I make a point of tidying up a few graves on each visit. I don't know the people buried there but it gives me great pleasure to do it for them and their families who perhaps can't visit them. Then I just sit by the grave and have a quiet chat for a few moments. Recently I met a woman tending the unmarked grave of a relative she had not known about till recently. She is getting a headstone for the grave. She's also been doing the exact same as me on each visit.
@@bahoonies
So very kind of you.
I do that too when I decorate the graves of my family.
I go along and tidy a grave or two up a little bit.
It’s just a little respect for those that were here.
Take care and thank you 🙏.
@@dongross6624 It's so nice to see we're singing from the same hymn sheet. As somebody once said - the dead are not so very far away. Best wishes Don and long may we continue to do it.
@@bahoonies
Absolutely Damien.
Be well and be blessed, thank you for your reply.
Well, he died roughly 40 years ago. Most of his immediate family are either dead or moved on.
God bless you for clearing his grave and paying your respects to him.
I've seen that photo years ago but didn't know his story. He probably was yelling no,too young to die. RIP John ❤️
I am a paranormal investigator, doing it since 1965. Still do occasionally when I'm asked. This first part is amazing evidence of paranormal activity. Thanks for sharing 😊 it amazes me how much you care and respect the people you introduce us to.
If the paranormal really existed, and you are a paranormal researcher, government agencies would have either hired you against your will to work for them in the research, OR forbidden you from discussing anything related to this field at the pain of legal consequences, like what had went on involving nuclear energy since 1945. And like nuclear energy, if there is direct evidence that the paranormal exists and can be tapped for energy, warfare, and technological use, governments worldwide would have monopolized all research into that field.
@@BlueSkyCountry if you have ever had a paranormal experience you would understand. This isn’t a field the government or anyone else has control over. I hope at some point during your lifetime you have the honor of experiencing an event, however slight. God Bless!
He appeared to be in a state of shock, as he realized he was exiting this world, without saying good bye.
This picture really bugs me out and I was thinking the same thing as you commented. People say that death is peaceful but apparently not. This picture makes me fear death. I fear that I have sinned too much to exit this world totally peacefully. And I'm in my 40s now. This guy was a baby when he died.
@@jorgejustice I think it's more like he is angry that he is leaving early. How much could a 16 year old sin?
@@jorgejustice You don't have to fear death, if you ask Jesus Christ to come inside you. He will save your soul and when you die, you will go to heaven, not eternal death. All you have to say is, Father forgive me of my sins. I ask you you to heal me, inside and out of all the sins I have done in my life. And I ask you to come inside my heart and live in me forever and ever. Jesus loves you so much, that he hung on the cross, in your place, and died for you, so you won't ever have to die forever. Just receive his love and you will be saved. it's that simple.
@@kathybuck9288 hi Kathy...I am a Christian. I accepted Jesus and I love God. But something feels very wrong to me about that Christian doctrine... If an all knowing all encompassing God makes laws where he would have men stoned to death because they picked up a stick on a Saturday, that makes me question if you would welcome you with open arms when I die because I have done much worse than not honoring the Sabbath... I'm not trying to convince you how much I suck, I'm just saying I have a lot of issues and maybe the right person could have the right conversation with me at the right place and time. That's what I'm hoping. I always wanted what you're saying, a piece of mind concerning the afterlife.
@@jorgejustice Ask God for it. That's what he's there for and he Will give you what you ask for. He's that kind of Dad.
Bless you-Ron for clearing the headstone on behalf of John's memory. John saw it coming; and he didn't want to die. It's such a sad and lonely way to leave this earth. I believe it was his last expression, as he was sent out in the universe. 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
I never get tired of listening 🎧 to Ron. He gives such dignity to the victims of the stories he relays to we the audience. I appreciate the energy, time and love he puts into the investigations.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Norah!!
I lost a few friends in high school due to car accidents. Watching this video broke my heart.
When you're that age, you feel invincible. Like you could live forever.
I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to pictures like this, but I see disbelief, anger, and sadness in the face.
He wasn't ready to go, he still had more life to live. Very kind of you to clear off his headstone. Wishing him and his family love and peace
Yes, you must get a small grave kit put together! Awhisk broom, edgers, a quart of water, maybe a bit of baking soda and scrub brush and a towel. That way when you see a grave you've specifically gone to tell a story about, you can fix it up a bit! I watch a gentleman here on RUclips that cleans military veterans graves and one that does older tombstones, I am absolutely gob smacked at the work they do! Some even level stone's and everything. I can support that! I think it's awesome. I'm not suggesting you do all that, lol! However, a small kit taken along would help for stories your covering.
When you said this young man had been forgotten, and all I saw was sticks, I thought oh boy, he doesn't have a marker. I soon saw what you meant by forgotten. It has definitely been many years sense someone visited his grave. Surely he still has living family! He's 2 years younger than me! So if he had brothers or sisters you'd think?
Jill Gross
Yes Wayne!! A small back pack 👍
I saw part 2 before this. That picture is amazing! You cleaned the headstone so good with what you had.
Thank you.
How tragcially sad. Thank you Ron for caring 🙏🏽♥️
Be blessed my friend. Thank you for cleaning off his headstone and thank you for not forgetting about John, it seems like his family and friends have for so long.
RIP John 🙏✌️💜🌈
😊
One of the interesting things about the close-up of the apparition is that there is apparent movement of the head. It's more or less an action picture, where you can see the lines behind the head as it is moving forward. You can also see two variations of the mouth, one almost overlaying the other. The fact that this is a photograph taking by the police and developed by the police adds to its validity, and that it hasn't been doctored. I've always enjoyed your narration, Ron. This one gave me chills.
So sad that John has been forgotten by the state of his resting place, thank you for clearing away all that debris from his grave. I do believe in the paranormal & i do believe our souls leave our body, when my mum was dying she said that she had seen her dad. I do believe that her dad/my grandfather had come to take her to heaven, great photos. Rest in peace John
RIP John. Thanks Ron for sharing his story. So young at only 16, to have his life taken. Kiss was my very first rock concert in 1990 when I was only 14 🥲
You're my age. I was 14 in 1990.
Very nice of you to care about other people like this. You have a good heart!
This is a interesting story about this young boy John. Thanks for not forgetting him ... you always do a great job...Ron...ty sir....I'm going to watch your other channel and finish watching this story....have a safe travelling trips as you go Ron ...💖😉🙏
You’re a great story teller Ron. I really love listening to your stories. This is another excellent presentation! Well done!!
Thank you for being such a kind human, and caring for those that past.
Thank you for bringing us this story. God rest John's soul. Thank you so much for cleaning John's grave- that was so very kind of you. Headed to Part 2. Have a great day.
The only reason a child's grave would be forgotten is that the parents couldn't deal with his passing and literally fell into a devastating depression and neither parent are no longer alive, he must have been an only child and probably has no more immediate family members to care for his gravesite. Thank you for cleaning his headstone
good point
May have visited until moved from area.
Probably could of aged and moved away, sad either way 😢
Well said the grieving of a loved one whether young or old is extremely painful some parents cannot handle seeing their kids that's has passed on in a coffin and cemetery
A common occurrence no doubt
I have goosebumps wow the photo captured his spirit leaving his body, great presentation Ron 👍🏻
Wow!!! How sad, and spooky. I know of someone who died drunk driving. He hit a tree, and died on Saturday December 6, 1980. Only 19 years old, and would have turned 20 on January 4, 1981. I have never seen his ghost, though. How do we really know that anyone is really in a better place?
So sad he was forgotten. Thank you for clearing his marker
RIP John🙏
His gravestone, a piece of cold metal marking the shell that transported his precious spirit on Earth, has been neglected. I have no doubt John himself is carried safe in the hearts of all who loved and will continue to love him, until they too are called home. People shouldn't get hung up on man-made memorials, they are not important. Our memories are what matters.
Correct. This happened almost 40 years ago. Most of the people he knew then have probably moved, got families and lives, some may have passed themselves. It’s just a marker, just because it’s not cleaned every week, doesn’t mean he’s forgotten, that’s ridiculous.
This was so sad but thank you Ron for bringing this to your Chanel. It was heartening to think loved ones as well as his dog came for him as he passed over. I worked delivering a sensory based activity timetable for a young man in his 30’s that survived a similar crash. His friends died at the scene but he took a side-blow to the head and neck. He lived for around 10 years with total paralysis, not able to swallow food or utter a single word. Yet he understood everything that was going on around him. Even though he was surrounded by people that loved him and cared wonderfully for him, his life was a very difficult one until he eventually passed away with pneumonia. I am often reminded of him when I see a speeding car full of youngsters taking real risks. 😢 RIP John, may your family have some peace knowing you are in good hands.
Ron, You did a great job. Your presentation is great. The story you picked to share is amazing. Presenting the picture and your thoughts is a good way to approach this, and yet you leave the viewer to draw their own conclusions. Very good. Enjoyed this video alot. Keep 'em coming. All the best to you.
Ron,you are most kind! I absolutely believe his soul was screaming as he left his body.May this young man rest in peace.
That is so sad he’s been forgotten. Most people believe they are not there but it’s still sad. Thank you for respecting John
As a retired nuse l know weird things happen around the time a patient passes. Some see family members dressed in black outside their door.
Some see heaven and talk of its beauty...others see hell and speak of their feet burning........l did witness these things!
Cathy, i would love to hear more about this if you are able to share thanks

Very interesting. And very TRUE! No one can escape death! But where will you go when you die? The choice is up to you. Choose wisely. It’s either one of two places, but you are def NOT roaming the earth as a lost spirit. And being a “good person” won’t earn you a ticket into heaven, for all have fallen short of the glory of God. We can do nothing to earn our salvation. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. “No one comes to the Father but by me!” I know this now. It is a free gift from God, for all who believe in Christ shall be saved, but those who do not believe are condemned already.
For the dead have nothing to do with the living (Deuteronomy 10). I have learned so much by God’s grace and His word. I used to practice psychic mediumship and communicate with “spirit” on a daily basis who believed the Bible was nonsense and religion was a man made form of control of the masses - until I actually read it and began to understand. It’s not about religion. Jesus rebukes religion and the Pharisees. It’s about having a personal relationship with Jesus. These spirit claimed to be deceased loved ones and my spirit guides. I was deceived. These are not deceased loved ones. They are FAMILIAR spirits, demons, POSING as loved ones to deceive and lead astray. For even Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light! The enemy preys on our grief!! They use things such as grief and trauma as the door to enter and we give them legal rights by disobeying the word of God and entertaining it. I know from firsthand experience. Everything God forbids is for our protection because He loves us more than we will ever know!
This stuff is very real!! I even have some of the messages these fake spirit left me in REAL TIME (using spirit boxes and apps), telling me things I never should’ve known. But things got dark fast and beyond scary as hell! They hate when you pray! They hate when you turn to God. They hate the name of Jesus Christ!!! Because they must submit to His authority. Once I got saved the hauntings and paranormal activity stopped for good. But it wasn’t until I accepted Christ that they stopped. They were literally mocking me as I was begging God to make it stop. I was demonically attacked and harassed until I repented and rebuked it all, acknowledging Christ as my personal Lord and savior. I never believed the Bible or even bothered to read it. That is, until, these same very spirit, when asked what they thought of it, said verbatim, “BELIEVE IT!” I’m now reading it for the third time and it blows my mind every time, how amazing our God is. You’re either convicted or offended. But one thing is for sure, we can not save ourselves. God bless ❤️✝️🙏

@@thenarrowroad6731 We can do nothing to earn salvation? But we can do something to earn hell?
This is a sad story about this young man loosing his life. Very eerie feeling with the picture of the accident and the actual picture of John. It does look like he is saying No or Oh. Looking forward for part 2.
John did not want to die. He was way too young. He wanted to stay and have fun with his friends. This is the most imbalanced Universe. So many evil people are left on the planet and they never get punished, and they get spared in the next life, and then there's these kinds of kids that want to stay on Earth and have fun, When people talk about going to rest in peace, these people don't want peace, they want fun. He wanted to stay with his friends and have all kinds of fun times with them. He was cheated out of it. Very unfair. He would much rather be with his friends than be with his deceased relatives. Many people are not close with their relatives, but they're very close with their friends. So many terrible things happen to people and they're forced to do things against their will. This boy was forced to die and go where he didn't want to go. Very tragic. God should be taking the evil people off the Earth instead. God keeps them around, and it's hard to get them off the Earth. This entire Universal setup is just so completely unbalanced.
@@laurasmith7976 i agree 100%.life is so not fair at times.
@@zoec703 , John missed out on so much fun on Earth. If Heaven is supposed to be so wonderful, then why was John screaming NO, and desperately wanting to stay here with his friends. There are so many rotten evil people on Earth that live very long lives and they enjoy every ounce of their lives and they have the greatest moments on Earth, and all John wanted was to have a little bit of fun, and he was taken away so young, against his will. When people talk about resting in peace, who wants to do that, when people want to have fun, and that's all they want to have is fun. Life is so imbalanced and so unfair, and the only people who really feel unfairness are the people who are affected by it. The people who have it so good on Earth, and who got away with everything, and they're totally blessed, don't care about what the other people have to suffer. This whole Universal setup is so messed up. It is such a sad situation for John, because it was out of his control. So many rotten people just keep on living forever on Earth, and they're a human waste of space.
@@laurasmith7976 You don’t escape karma or your cosmic record.
@@jsterling6805 , You do escape karma, and so many people do. This boy didn't deserve to die so soon. What about all these bad rotten people why are they not getting off the Earth? This Universe is the most messed up place I've ever seen.
Ron is rocking the facial hair. Great story Ron I have not heard about John’s story. Picture of him is fascinating.
Thank you for letting these people not be forgotten. Great job. Your a good man
Ron, thank you so much for cleaning John's marker off, it looks a lot better. I wonder why he's been "forgotten", maybe his parents are no longer living in that area to go and visit him??? So sad... God Bless
We must remember, this was 38 yrs ago and that he was 16 then, so it is very possible his parents are deceased
@@SummerBreeeze yes that's very true
When I first saw the photo, it looks like a contorted light blur. But after seeing his in life photo. It looks like his face, features, hairline. What a scenario to speculate
Thank you for cleaning his marker.
Looking forward to part 2 on the other channel. 🙋♂️🐈🐈🙏
that did not look like a light blur. That is clearly him. I noticed it right away
This was amazing to THE Core.. I've always been kind of fascinated by The Paranormal. The FACT that this picture by the On Scene Officer taken gives without a DOUBT the authenticity of this Image.. This Policeman sees much on any given day but I CAN guarantee you He'll NEVER forget this night while on Duty..
John was a real cutie! Too bad his life was cut short. Thank you for caring so much Ron. You have a heart of gold!
Wow, amazing story and photo of John's soul . RIP John 🙏✝️
You've certainly left me with something to think about, & please accept this virtual pat on the back for cleaning the lad's marker.
Thank you for caring for his grave, Ron. Just knowing that there are good people out there telling his story means we can all learn and he won’t be forgotten. This is such an interesting story. I am looking forward to your new channel content as well as watching your other videos. Wishing you safe travels.
I think you are right, I seen two souls go up and leave thru the window at hospital. They were older so they were ready to go. But a younger boy wasn't ready yet. RIP. Cindy
Ron, such a sad story and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the care and respect you have for the gravestone and the persons that have passed on.
Thank you for remembering this dear boy and clearing off his grave. He is somewhere else now, not concerned with his grave any of the cares of earth.
I'm definitely going to check out your other channel, Intangible Quests!
Wow, now I'm definitely intrigued to see Part 2! Ron, thank you so much for cleaning up that poor young man's grave plaque. Rest in peace, John.
Hello from Nazareth, PA. I have been looking forward to this story...Thank you!
Amazing photo & nice story telling with compassion Ron. God Bless you John. So sad to lose one's life at 16.
Of course it's him. Why couldn't it be!? I believe anything is possible! You tell these stories so beautifully, respectfully and with love. Your channel is my favorite.
You are such a good man remembering John.
God bless him.
May he rest in eternal peace ✝️
I'm a believer and this is a very intrigueing story. I have subbed both channels. In my opinion, John knows you were there. I say this because people who pass quickly as he did, and at such a young age, are the ones who stick around. Unfinished business, I imagine. Thank You so much for showing respect and care for this young man. How could a family forget so quickly, I will never understand!
I would say that his parents are both very elderly or gone..all very sad and just two days after Christmas 💔
When your dead you can't stick around. You can't come back, we are not God. We either go to be with the Lord or suffer eternal separation from the Lord. That picture tells where he was headed. Very very sad.
The Gospel for our salvation is
1st Corinthians 15:1-4.
Thanks for cleaning the headstone, and yes a headstone cleaning kit would be a good idea to have on hand. I am enjoying your channel and looking forward to the new one. I love a good spooky story! 😊
I firmly believe this is true. I’ve witnessed a similar event and shook me to my core.
Would you care to elaborate?

Oh my word I am seriously looking forward to this. 🤸♀️🤸
I really believe this Ron, great story, I believe the picture was taken when his spirit left his body. I’m so sad he’s been forgotten, I guess his parents are gone or moved away. Thank you Ron for paying such respect to him. RIP John ❤️
But not even a friend or sibling has come to visit. Sad
@@jameeselah9728 Or even his parents. Just to think, he would have just gone 54.
I very much doubt John has been forgotten. He was a beloved son, grandson, brother and friend. There must be many people around today who loved him deeply, whose lives were forever changed by his sixteen years of life, and who will carry him in their hearts till it's their turn to leave this Earth.
Surely that is how we would all want to be remembered - alive and vibrant, talking, smiling, walking, laughing, hugging, the other half of a loving relationship that has not ended just because we have passed on.
I don't want anyone wasting their precious time on Earth tidying a cold plaque with my name on it, standing over the shell that once transported my spirit, and 'paying respects'. One thing's for sure - I won't be there! Show your respect for me by enjoying every day you're lucky enough to be given, until you too are called home.
The famous poem of the 1930s said it best:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die!
@@glamdolly30 A gravestone is not just for the deceased. It a special place where family and friends can go to remember. In my experience, and I imagine, that of the vast majority of people, it gives great comfort just to stand in silent prayer, lay flowers and tidy the grave. I have just had the grave of a great uncle who died before I was born renovated. It was a privilege to do it for him. You talk of your body as just a shell that contains your spirit. I understand that but it is that outward shell, the look in your eyes, the sound of your voice, your smile, your laughter, your touch that we know and love. And it is very, very special to us. It's very hard to lose a friend or loved one but it's so special to stand by a grave and remember. It's never a waste of our time.
@@glamdolly30 My grandmother knew when she would be dying, 25 years ago.She was tired from dialysis and decided she didn’t want it any more. She said not to bother with her grave or plant flowers because she wasn’t going to be there. We do though, it makes us feel better I guess.
While there are no definitive answers, j think the photographic evidence points toward paranormal phenomenon. You did a great job telling this sad story, Ron. May John Rest In Peace.
If the paranormal really existed, the government and military research agencies would have long ago monopolized research into it, and forbidden us peasants to pursue the subject any further.
The paranormal is demonic activity. I don't believe John was saved. That explains the pucture. Very sad.
Every time I see you I know it’s going to be an amazing story where you explain it with detail and empathy. Thankyou xx
Can't believe his family forgot about him,nobody should be forgotten about.Where is the rest of his family buried at? I can see why he was yelling No when his soul passed from this world 😔. John some how knew he would be forgotten.Thank you Ron
I hope John's loved ones never see your post, or any of the other thoughtless comments saying he has been 'forgotten' and suchlike. What nonsense. He died tragically at just 16, there are undoubtedly people walking around today who loved and continue to love him deeply, forever changed by his life and death. No one should make such harsh judgements merely based on a neglected grave.
I would far rather my loved ones remember me at happy times, than at lonely visits to tidy a cold stone or metal memorial marking my bones.
We will all be eventually forgotten.
I don't think he was and his parents have to be 80+..they might be gone to join him or so elderly that they can't get out.
@@desertweasel6965 That is the truth. And we need more comments like this instead of the usual canned and useless platitudes that people post on tragic videos to make themselves feel better.
How did you know?
My heart went out to him seeing his grave . Bless you for giving his grave the respect it deserved
Very interesting. I am a little skeptical about such things but, this is definitely intriguing . Thank you.
You are a great person, so respectful! You did such a great job in the young man’s grave!
Thank you Ron for cleaning this young man's grave. I really would like to give John flowers somehow. 💐 I must of been horriblerific. Heartbreaking and Soul wrenching.
Oh dear! His grave was nearly hidden! Thanks for cleaning it off. By the look of the area, when it gets more rain, it will probably send mud down on his grave and the rest of the graves! I'm sure he's resting peacefully now! Thanks for sharing his story Ron! 🙏 💕
Great story Ron, my Aunt Ruby died the night she died I was taking pictures in front of my grandma's house and the road in front of it. My Aunt appeared in one of the pictures I took! When I was looking through the pictures at her house I saw her image with her son and we both saw her. It was like she was saying goodbye. She died of an aneurysm before she hit the ground no one actually got to say goodbye.
New fan here!! You are an amazing man Ron!! God Bless you man!! 🙏🙏
What a story Wow ! So glad you cleaned the grave Ron. 😊
ok i dont know how i found you but im so glad i did,as soon as you started walking to show us the cemetary,i realized how nice your camera is,so clear and no blurriness thank you .i love cemetaries.new sub today ; )

Or...he is yelling no, in fear, because he realizes what is about to happen.
That’s what I was thinking. It’s terrifying and sad to think about
I hate that I missed the Premier, but I’m here now! Great episode. I’ll follow the next video.
GOOSEBUMPS
His birth date and year is the same as mine. I just turned 54. That kinda freaked me out once you cleaned it off and revealed it. My jaw dropped as well and I said wow. Crazy feeling it was.
Thank you, Ron for sharing this amazing story and cleaning his grave. Headed to part 2 now
I'm so amazed by the photo, that certainly looks like that poor young man. I've known a few people who have seen a light or form above the body of a loved one who passed. Still so tragic that he was taken so young. It made me sad to see his stone there all but hidden 😔 Thank you Ron for cleaning that up for John, you're a good guy 🌷💖 We will not forget this boy, he's in a better place, rest in peace 🙏
I'm equally amazed
Mental distress and anguish from facing the trauma of having a loved one pass away in front of them can cause the release of a lot of dopamine, adrenaline and other neurotransmitters that can cause the person to see and hear things that are not there. Incidentally, overdoses of caffeine and other substances which cause this same flux of neurotransmitter release can also induce hallucinations in patients who had one too many energy drinks or cough syrup.
@@BlueSkyCountry So are you saying the camera was hallucinating when it captured a picture of spirit?
@@jsterling6805 You know how easy it is to doctor a photo in this style even with 1990s technology right? You want to know how I know that ALL "ghost" photos are fake? I created a lot of them that are still circulating on the Internet to this day, still being shared, perpetuated, and gawked at by the gullible.
@@BlueSkyCountry On the other hand , all photos and videos of ghost are not fake. Go and work in parapsychology and learn.
For some people, when the soul leaves the body, it's painful and the person will do everything possible to stay.
🤦🏻♀️I didn't want to cry today.✔️You're right when you said "he's in a better place".
🌹You're a good♥️hearted man, for paying your💐respects (as did I) to such a young man💔gone far too soon.
🤲🏻Thanks for sharing.
🇨🇦✌🏻💔🇺🇸✨🌎💫
