The Fear Of Being Buried Alive And Taphophobia Was A Major Talking Point In The 19th Century. I May Have Found The Truth Inside This Family Vault. #cemetery #mausoleum #dublin
I read that when George Washington, our first president died, he left instructions to have his body lay in rest in the parlor of his home for three days before burial. Just to make sure that he was very much dead, before burial. Great walking tour, thank you very much GV and Sue. 😊
My Scottish Grandmother on my Father’s side was Terrified of being buried alive!! She heard of it happening to someone. Those must have been before the days of embalming!! 😮 ❤❤. ✌🏼💜
That was always a fear of mine. Back then, doctors could make mistakes in pronouncing someone deceased, when they may have been in a very deep sleep. This is so interesting. Thanks GV!
Great video and the cemetery was gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing. In Edgar, Allan Poe's book he discusses premature burials. Quite a bit that was must have been a fear of his also.
This is one of my phobias. Even today science and doctors do not always get it right. It is amazing that you evidence of bells and alarms for the rescue can still be found. Awesome tour and history.
wow such great hisroy you guys has done I loves it . We are working on our 150 year old farm house in the city on a 1/2 acre of land trees cut down and keeping the wood we have a fire place it will be great for the holidays
Great Video❤ amazing to see a intact Bell vault. Never seen one in real life. Could the big vault at the end of the " vault street" that was closed up with the metal, been a receiving vault for winter use? Like when the ground was frozen?
Thanks for sharing such a interesting cemetery ! That is a huge cemetery. I have never seen so many vaults in one place. The two mausoleums , the bell and chain one and the one next to it were very unique. Thanks again!
That was a great walk-through Cathal! So many large monuments and masoleums and places to take a little peek! Really enjoyed this one immensely! Thank you! ♥️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Couldn't it be just a simple chain hoist to lower the coffins down into the crypt? We see the hook on the end, and an eye on the top of the coffin. So how could she pull the chain if it didn't go through the top of the coffin? Just pondering.
No. Modern medicine prevents it now. Don't live in fear, it is a form of bondage used constantly by the fallen angel Lucifer. Do not let him have any control over you. The more you fear the stronger he becomes. Don't give him that power.
Had my ear bud in, wasn't expecting the music at the end. Sitting alone with the lights out at 1:13 AM startled me. Thought uhoh I'm I going to be haunted 😅
It’s sad that there is nothing to keep the elements out of that vault. The caskets are exposed and will eventually just fall away and the remains will be just laying there.
I keep looking and asking my self, "is the debris or are those bones?" Looks like one of the coffins was open just a little bit and bones got scattered. Back in those days, people had to contend with body snatchers, grave robbers (ancient and modern), waking up after everyone thought you were dead, and wild animals digging you up.
Makes me wonder how many poor souls were actually buried alive that we will never know. Such a troubling thought. May they rest in peace. God bless from Oklahoma U.S.
Me sorprende muchísimo la facilidad con la que se pueden ver los ataúdes aqui no los vemos estan tapados con una fina pared de yeso sobretodo para que no de olor porque como sabéis aquí hace mucho calor . El video de lujo 👏👏👏👏👏un saludo amigos
@@davidhepple Yes, that was a thing back in the day. Attaching a rope/chain to a bell outside was a way to indicate that the person was still alive. Fresh graves were usually watched for a few days to listen for the bell.
Doesn't matter much when you're dead. You're already at peace if you have a beautiful resting place like this ❤ All our worldy relationships mean very little at the end of the day.
Can i still comment on older videos 📹? If yes i want to say thank you for sharing this one ,i really like it when you point things out it makes it so much more interesting , Thank you
Just an added thought the bell vault reminds me of an episode of CSI. In one episode George Eades character gets buried alive. Then they put fire ants in with him. He survived. I would have just died. Now that is a scary idea. I understand the need for a bell.
It is true people were sometimes buried with a means to ring a surface bell. And it is possible there was such a device in that mausoleum. However, it is also possible the chain is part of a mechanism used to place coffins inside the mausoleum. My friend's gran wanted to be embalmed and then buried with a bell...
It seems there were a number of Countesses de Lusi around Dublin over the years, and I'm not sure which the Dowager may have been. Apparently, the de Lusi name died out in Ireland by 1919, so it must predate that.
If I needed a bell don't lock the lid to the coffin and leave me a key to get out🙂 And air holes. May they all rest in peace❤️🙏❤️ Hope y'all are getting better❤️🙏❤️
People have been buried alive in the past ,they wokefrom comas and could not escape their coffrns ,only to be decovered well after they died ,.she may well have known this x
People would be paid to sit by the grave, day and night for several days, (or family members would stay) to make sure the person didn't wake up and ring the bell ....
Does the chain go down inside of the coffin or only down to the coffin? If not inside with her, then was she expected to be able to lift the coffin lid? Asking, since it appears we see the end of the chain and it ends outside of the coffin instead of inside...
@@GraveVisitations, even if unlocked, it would be heavy. I'm not negating the story, just trying to figure out if her wish was actually granted in a suitable manner...
You know they could have left the lid undone and left a key with her to unlock the vault. But yes, l think the majority of people back then would have had that fear.
who in the sam hill is going to hear you in a cemetery It's like the commercial where the tree falls in the woods and the tree says hey i've fallen want to give me a little help here i think it was a geico commercial.😳
The term "graveyard shift" came about because people were actually hired to sit in the graveyard all night just in case someone had been buried alive and were ringing a bell. No joke.
@@GraveVisitationsI think the OP is referring to the mausoleums that seem similar in shape. These were usually sold as a "unit" to an individual or family. The purchaser could customize their resting place accordingly. However, a lot of families made changes to only the interiors while mostly retaining the exterior except for adding their name or family crest/signia. This was partly due to graveyard design stipulations as this estate was very expensive and they had to sell units to individuals of similar social standing. OP, while these places may look similar they are very valuable real estate. They have also stood the test of time if you see the dates on there. They are a piece of (architectural) history, a revered site for families to pay respects to their ancestors and a reminder for us mortals - memento mori. Graveyards are interesting for their energetic imprint as well.
The term “Dead ringer” came from those.👍. Very nice example. I’ve never seen one quite like that one. Nice!
A dead ringer For love ha
The premature burial - Edgar Allen Poe.

Thanks GV. That was so interesting. Yes you are right I think it happened many times. Love from Africa 🌍 🇿🇦
Wow!! Even in death, some people have numbers on their vault doors!! That whole area was like a street for the dead!! VERY INTERESTING!! XXXX ❤💞🤗👍
Coronation street 😁
@@GraveVisitations 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope you're all feeling better, GV!! XXXX 💞❤🤗

Cool tour.
I’m terrified of being buried alive and of being cremated and waking up in the oven it genuinely petrifies me .
Don't put that out there in the ether. Really. Not good.
😂😂😅 👀that only happens to people who have been naughty when they were alive😴
Still rather be burned alive than wake up in a coffin. At least burning is quick in comparison.
Take care. To. You. Both
Mr. Butlers tomb is amazing yes & beautiful railings❤
Another great video. Stuff of nightmares. Hope sweet Sue and family are feeling much better. Love you guys!
Thanks so much
Amazing finds GV! Thanks for the great tour. Hope you guys and family are ok. x
Getting back to normal soon toms

Sounds super good very old house with great history I'd imagine

That was a really interesting video and your commentary makes it even better thanks for sharing it with us
Glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching
Beautiful inscription☘️💚
This was such a great episode!
Sad to see babies& youngsters burial places 😢
Thanks for sharing this story and really scary idea to be buried alive. Nice looking cemetary.
Another top number GV,safe travels to you and sue,god bless 👋👋👏👏🙏🙏🇦🇺

That bell was something else.

This story is well documented and a bell is on top of vault
Hey Joe from NJ USA. Love your channel. Keep up the good work
Hey, thanks! Joe
Great Video as usual. Loved all the rich people vaults. ❤️👍🏻
Thank you for taking us along. You have the most beautiful graveyards/cemeteries in Ireland 🇮🇪
Maybe we should all have that devise who would want to be buried alive? Does it cross anybody’s mind ?
No. Modern medicine prevents it now. Don't live in fear, it is a form of bondage used constantly by the fallen angel Lucifer. Do not let him have any control over you. The more you fear the stronger he becomes. Don't give him that power.
Great video. Those souls have been there for a long time and there coffins are still intact.Amazing.
Had my ear bud in, wasn't expecting the music at the end. Sitting alone with the lights out at 1:13 AM startled me. Thought uhoh I'm I going to be haunted 😅
Cool content as always. Its so freaky when you can look in and see the old wood caskets.
Creepy and scary video! I wonder how many people were buried alive? 😱
It’s sad that there is nothing to keep the elements out of that vault. The caskets are exposed and will eventually just fall away and the remains will be just laying there.

The Egyptians believed saying someone's name that has passed away makes them live forever

That's so creepy. I can't imagine being buried alive.
What a horrible thought😱 I can imagine it happened a few times before modern medicine. Interesting area!
Thanks GV interesting as ever ❤
Yet another amazing find. Great job finding these unsual graves!
Thanks again! Sonny
Thank you for another interesting video
Thanks Ann
If she was buried alive what would be the point of a bell and chain if she was stuck in her coffin?
So someone would hear it ringing and get her out
@@GraveVisitations screwed into a coffin?
@@davidhepple Yes, that was a thing back in the day. Attaching a rope/chain to a bell outside was a way to indicate that the person was still alive. Fresh graves were usually watched for a few days to listen for the bell.
This video rang my bell...
That's one of the reasons people were often laid out in their home for several days before burial. To make sure they didn't wake up.
👍👍👍
Very impressive grave yard, but seems so cold and lonely😢

Good channel GV
Thank you

Definitely looks like a bath tub , each to his own 😊

Yes it is very true its called taphophobia

De lusi sounds Italian but maybe I'm wrong. Thank you for the information and watching always good to get another persons knowledge
aweosme videos my friends!! so how old is that chain then is it the original from 1840?????😮😮
I would think it is since the vault hasn't been open since
At the bell ringing sound 4.44 in, I jumped!
I always believed that once you were embalmed, you don't come back from that!
True it's not possible
Amazing
You think she pulled it and nobody came.
I hope not 😱
If I needed a bell don't lock the lid to the coffin and leave me a key to get out🙂 And air holes. May they all rest in peace❤️🙏❤️ Hope y'all are getting better❤️🙏❤️

Looks like outside but was kind of hard to see. Maybe the lid was left un locked
@@GraveVisitations, even if unlocked, it would be heavy. I'm not negating the story, just trying to figure out if her wish was actually granted in a suitable manner...
It may have once been inside the coffin, but was removed the next time there was a death.
Drumond that is
You know they could have left the lid undone and left a key with her to unlock the vault. But yes, l think the majority of people back then would have had that fear.
Thats scary
But if nobody is threw to hear you your toast.
I'd be hoping someone is around 😱
Good thing that people are embalmed now, can't even imagine being buried alive 😯
Frightening to think about 😱
@@GraveVisitations yes 😯
How's it going

Do you ever see the name Cobb on any headstones?
Not sure tbh I've been to so many cemeteries it's hard to remember
@@GraveVisitations I watch your channel to see if you run across my family. I haven't seen any either. Thank you for your response
Your a Great story teller as well
Contour gauges have been around for years, nothing new here...
Don't know what you mean by that
