Finding out about Houdini and his wife just warmed my heart. No matter how famous he got he always loved her. The fact they wrote love letters to each other was so touchy.
I grew up on Jamaica Avenue about 10 minutes from Houdini's grave. And when we were kids, the urban legend was that he was going to come back one day on Halloween night. So lots of times in the 1970s teenagers would hold seances at the grave sight. I will definitely be watching Ron tonight to see what story he tells about this. My family still lives in Ridgewood, I will have to tell them to watch.
@@ninanonna2007 my father was the caretaker at Mount hope cemetery on the Brooklyn side. We rode our bikes up to the cemetery Houdini is at. Yes I remember the crowds on Halloween.
Wonderful walk through this amazing old cemetery I could spend hours reading headstones. I always thought Harry Houdini had a "gift" he was a true artist. He died so young Oct. 31, 1926 death is a sure thing. His burial place is lovely; sad that his wife Wilhelmina Beatrice "Bess" was buried at Gate of Heaven, N.Y. and not with Houdini. Theirs was a true love story. Bess died at 67 on board a train from Los Angeles bound to New York City just like you said Ron of a heart attack. Rest in Peace Harry and Bess Houdini.
Thank you, Ron. As always, a beautiful edit with excellent pics. It's swful how he died - and due to such a cheap shot at him.. The man who punched him should have been charged. He was a very interesting man, to say the least. Rest in Peace, Harry and Bess Houdini - not forgotten.
He was such a fascinating man, and I'm glad that he is still fondly remembered even by the new generations that have come along since his death. It does make me sad though that his lovely wife was not buried with him. No matter what religion each were, her family should've let them be reunited in death.
What a wonderful tribute you did Ron for Harry Houdini 👏👏👏. RIP 🙏 Houdini one of the GREATEST magicians known to mankind. Thanks again for a wonderful story and tribute Ron.
There's a 1953 movie called HOUDINI starring Tony Curtis as Houdini . I thought it was a pretty good portrayal . Worth the watch . PS Love your video's !!
I remember this movie and would like to see it again, it's been a while although it must get rebroadcast , because it was probably over 10-20 years now.
Loved this story but it was tragic. Harry was a great showman. My grandfather saw him once. He said it was a performance he would always remember. Fantastic
I have always been told that if you want to know how a man will treat you then watch how he treats his Mom. He must have been the most loving man by his treatment of his Mother. Bess was a lucky woman in that respect. It is a shame that they aren't buried together. I am sure they are together in Heaven though. Another great story Ron. I could listen to you tell stories all day long and be on baited breath waiting for the next story every time. You are an exceptional story teller. Until the next one my friend.
Houdini burial site is a very busy place around Halloween. I originally come from that area. Years ago police and private security were posted there. The cemetery is located in NYC at the borders of the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. Interesting place indeed
Is it still just as busy all these halloweens later ? What do they do the people do they still hold seances there or do they just go to pay their respects ? I would absolutely love to go visit his final resting place as well as Bess”s … 😢
Just watching the Houdini movies alone scared me to death. It amazes me that he even made it to 52. Great entertainment for me as long as I kept my eyes closed 😅 Great video Ron!
@@FacesoftheForgotten thanks so much Ron. I’m incredibly thankful that you do this for the love of it, rather than for the money. If not we wouldn’t get to enjoy rare treats like this one. You’re the best!
I was laid over in Dallas Texas, back in 1990. I bobtailed to a shopping mall to spend a bit of time and money. I was taking a break on a bench beside a fountain. Just then. A very old man and woman approached me. He introduced himself and his wife. I wasn't familiar with the name. He clarified by telling me that I know him as the Great Houdini. He claimed he was 102 years old and his wife was 97. I went along with his story, there was no appearant harm. He proceeded to show me about a dozen magic tricks with rope, cards and coins. It was quite a show. We talked for about an hour. IDK. I'd like to think he was Houdini. At least in spirit. He was an awesome magician, worthy of associating with the Great Houdini.
I've always been fascinated by Harry Houdini and Magicians, mind readers and mediums in the Vaudeville era as well. I wish I knew you would be in the New York area, I have an addendum to this video. Houdini was friends with a gentleman named "Washington Irving Bishop" who was a mind reader/mentalist. He had a very unique medical condition, suffering from cataleptic fits. He would just out of nowhere lose consciousness and give off the appearance that he was dead. He carried a note on his person to inform medical personnel that he suffered from this condition and not to bury him prematurely. The story is a lot more involved and no, he was not buried alive but died unjustly anyway. I would be happy to send you some information on him if you like? He is buried in Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn New York. Wonderful video as always Ron!
Thank you Peter for Sharing this awesome information with Us✌🏻👏✊Soo Much I Didn’t but ding very interesting today the least you and Ron Have Given in this video 👏👏👏
Recently discovered you & I'm fascinated! Harry Houduni Museum is in Scranton. I am from Scranton and gone by the museum many times. I have to visit now because of your piece. Thank you for so many videos I now have to look forward to viewing. You're a great storyteller.
When you played their song at the end it made me cry like a baby. I've never heard that song before. Maybe because of learning how sentimental he was and how much he loved his wife and mom. Great job on this story as usual.
@@eburel506 i did too. I got a new kitten 2 months ago. I named her Rosabelle after this video/song. She's absolutely beautiful. Part Maine coon and part tiger tabby kitty.
I believe, Sir, that you have some of the same wonderful qualities that you described for Harry Houdini. Wonderfully done and I thank you for sharing so much with us.
You are so right about how they twist words around to suit political correctness today, which in essence is hypocritical. You share such great tidbits of info on all these gravesites… I love learning facts / history of people & circumstances….thank you
Wow so much I didn't know about him. Mighty fine story and tribute as always. Thank you for the pics inserted in the video, really makes a person gets more connected. Happy trails friend, stay safe!
I LOVED how you told this story Ron. He had a wild life. I was wondering what happened to the guy who punched him in the gut before he was even at a full standing position? Seems like a murder to me. I loved this one!🌹
He soon crawled back under the stone he came from , at the time a lot of people who adored houdini were out for his blood quite literally .. he was nothing but a coward xx rip the greatest showman Houdini ❤
Love the video Ron. I've always thought of Harry Houdini as being a fascinating person. He was so very talented. And I'm glad that he's still idolized today and remembered as being the greatest showman there ever was... It's sad that they refused to bury his wife beside him, but they are together in heaven... RIP Harry and Bess.🕊️🕊️🕊️
OMG Ron! I was at that cemetery when I lived in New York. I sat right on the round bench which surrounds his grave! Enjoy 😉 NY. I love this, alot of history in that cemetery! I can,t believe you hit my neck of the woods, lol! I loved that cemetery. So old and interesting.
the one good thing on watching after the actual premiere is that it converts to 4K, and this cemetery you want to watch the 4K version!! 👍 the live premier is not in HD. (why I do not know, RUclips process)
Wow he looked like his mother. He always is a source of interest to me. At the age of 9 and a trapeze artist that is impressive, and the information you offered I didn't know, the general information on him is as far as people go, thanks for taking the time you take to get it right
Harry Houdini. What a life and what a great guy. I'd no idea he'd flown here in Australia. I'll have to find out more. Such a shame his wife wasn't buried by him. Beautiful cemetery Ron. A great guy, talking about the life of a great man. Thankyou 💚
His wife's family didn't want her buried in a Jewish cemetery and disregarded her wishes and she is buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, NY. This makes me sad because the two loved each other mucho, but her family were strict Catholics!
What a fascinating and amazing man Houdini was. I love how much he loved his mom and his wife and the song at the end was just beautiful. Excellent presentation Ron, one of your best.
Alway's thought Harry Houdini was well ahead of his time watched his trick's over the yrs but that fatal blow to his stomach was the beginning of the end thank's for sharing ron...
Tony Curtis played him the best in the Film. My dog Chester whom passed now. A yellow lab lived to 21yrs a few months short 22yrs. Chester's middle name Houdini he escaped from everything lol
Ron, justl love your channel. You are so respectful to the deceased. Always have such interesting stories. You have my sympathy and prayers for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I also lost mine so l know how difficult it is. Keep the great stories coming. You have a true talent.
The History Museum at the Castle in Appleton, WI has a permanent exhibit on Harry Houdini. He spent his young years in this city and always considered it his hometown. The museum shows how he performed some of his acts and has many of his props. If you're in the area it's worth a visit. Thank you for the interesting video. I didn't know Houdini was a pilot.
The time Houdini came to the Appleton area, many german and dutch people settled in the area. My german and dutch ancestors came over with the Houdini family. Appleton has a memorial called Houdini Square.
Hey Ron I was always interested in Houdini and all what he did with his magic tricks and all. Did a very fantastic job of getting out of all the things he got into. Very interesting character he was.. you did a great job and research og him and always love listening to you and all these stories and telling about Their lives since they can't now. And getting ppl to learn all.about our history of our world 🌎.......thanks for sharing this on him bc he was a very interesting person in life and he had a beautiful wife sad they weren't buried together but together in heaven......rip harry Houdini.. ... and all his loving family...... have a great week ahead and safe travels Ron....
Always ….THE BEST RON!! Great narrative, excellent presentation. God Bless for all your dignified,exemplary & thorough research 🎖Gold medal all the way
Ron this is one of the best stories you’ve narrated. Sad way he died. I love the way you narrate and the music at the ending was just phenomenal. I loved it. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you Ron for not just the videos you create but also being a great gentleman who brings a voice to the people who have no voice but also the history surrounding them Your a one of a kind and I will forever be a subscriber
My uncle was born in 1901 and he mentioned he saw Houdini as a boy. He did not see him perform, even though, I thought that was awesome. Houdini grew up in poverty and wanted his mother to have a better life and was determined to provide it to her. The guy who punched him was being a wise guy. He knew Houdini had to prepare to be punched and swung when he vulnerable. Finally, I think it's high time to place this couple side by side. Things aren't as strict as it use to be 100 years ago. Okay, one more thing, my grandmother was born in Budapest, Hungary and census records have Austria crossed out and Hungary written in. A country who's border's shifted many times. They say he was born in Austria-Hungary. Excellent video that I enjoyed very much, thank you.
Thank you Ron for this wonderful production. I believe its one of your best, of not THE best one so far. What a beautiful cemetery. I've wanted to visit it for years. ... thank you for the amazing little known facts about him and the wonderful photos. Bravo!
What a sad ending to such a talented, good person. The story resonates in my family, at the Grace hospital he died at is where many of my ancestors/family members were treated in the early 1900s here in Detroit.
Great music choices as usual ron and thank you for the photos at the end, it was really nice putting names to faces.also thank you for doing this story i have been wanting to learn more about him stay safe
I've always had a fascination of Houdini and this era in time...Being Australian, I knew he was the first to fly a plane here. I use that to surprise friend's when they ask me ...What do ya know ? Thank you so much for taking the time to share this great talk n' walk to Harry's grave. Best wishes- from Perth, Western Australia
Only got to see this today but so enjoyable! The musical opening led perfectly into the colorful story of Houdini and his daring exploits. A great showman, loving husband and son. I was glad to see he is in a beautiful place. Thank you Ron, awesome job!🎩🌷
Thank you for your videos & paying respects to these often forgotten people(families) and being very respectful of their gravesites. just recently vandals damaged and destroyed over a dozen headstones at a local church graveyard with some being from the late 1700's . Grave desecration is my biggest pet pevee's (because so many Native American burialsites have been destroyed or moved & one of my ancestors was Cherokee),my 2nd pet peeve is graves or gravesites being left unattended & forgotten. I try my best to see that local gravesites are kept up as best as I can & I try to put a flower on each grave at least once or twice a year & I hope that someone will do the same for my grave once I'm gone. Please keep up the good work you do & I hope people will contribute to help replace/restore graves that you mention!
Another great presentation, I really enjoyed this especially with the song at the end. Thanks Ron for the educational and entertaining job you always do.
What an interesting life! People back then seemed more daring and took more chances. Hopefully he and Bess found each other on the other side ❤️ great content as always!
That was an exceptional video Ron, thank you for the grave tour and thank you for playing the song I never heard it and I’ve read all the books including one that was written in the 1940s that showed how he created and did all of his illusions. However,there was a few things I didn’t know which surprised me.superb💯👍🏻❤️

Ron. The story's you tell us you are the best story telling in all time. Mr Roy Marion
This is a Stand Out for sure. Those pictures of them is the best part. The Roosevelt song near the end is haunting. A+
my favorite part is that haunting song, thank you for calling it out and mentioning Danny.
I think it's Rosabelle, believe.

He soon crawled back under the stone he came from , at the time a lot of people who adored houdini were out for his blood quite literally .. he was nothing but a coward xx rip the greatest showman Houdini ❤
I thought so too. Would that be second degree murder?
Another excellent video, Ron! Fun Fact: When Buster Keaton was a toddler Houdini gave him his nickname "Buster."
Really?? Always learning here 😊
Very interesting side of his story!!@
Thanks for sharing!!!👍🏻👏😇🥰

❤ What an attractive couple they made! I should add, you really made him come to life.

Houdini grew up in poverty and wanted his mother to have a better life and was determined to provide it to her. The guy who punched him was being a wise guy.

They say he was born in Austria-Hungary. Excellent video that I enjoyed very much, thank you.
A great tribute to a life well lived! I wonder what other stunts he would've came up with had he lived longer. Thanks for sharing this great story.
Thank you Ron for this wonderful production. I believe its one of your best, of not THE best one so far. What a beautiful cemetery. I've wanted to visit it for years. ... thank you for the amazing little known facts about him and the wonderful photos. Bravo!

So many graves in this cemetery it looks like it would be scary even in daylight.
Agree!!
What a sad ending to such a talented, good person. The story resonates in my family, at the Grace hospital he died at is where many of my ancestors/family members were treated in the early 1900s here in Detroit.

Oh wow what a great video I loved it💞 so much information and history thank you so much🙏
I can't wait to see what happens this

Great you played the song so lovely Ron bless you
Omg that song at the end! Touching & haunting at same time. 😢
I've always had a fascination of Houdini and this era in time...Being Australian, I knew he was the first to fly a plane here. I use that to surprise friend's when they ask me ...What do ya know ? Thank you so much for taking the time to share this great talk n' walk to Harry's grave. Best wishes- from Perth, Western Australia
Thank you Ron for sharing this fantastic story🙂.
What a gorgeous old cemetery! Thanks for sharing Houdini's story -- such a fascinating person!
Only got to see this today but so enjoyable! The musical opening led perfectly into the colorful story of Houdini and his daring exploits. A great showman, loving husband and son. I was glad to see he is in a beautiful place. Thank you Ron, awesome job!🎩🌷
Thank you for your videos & paying respects to these often forgotten people(families) and being very respectful of their gravesites. just recently vandals damaged and destroyed over a dozen headstones at a local church graveyard with some being from the late 1700's . Grave desecration is my biggest pet pevee's (because so many Native American burialsites have been destroyed or moved & one of my ancestors was Cherokee),my 2nd pet peeve is graves or gravesites being left unattended & forgotten. I try my best to see that local gravesites are kept up as best as I can & I try to put a flower on each grave at least once or twice a year & I hope that someone will do the same for my grave once I'm gone. Please keep up the good work you do & I hope people will contribute to help replace/restore graves that you mention!
Love the picture at the end. thanks for doing that.
That was soo cool loved it and such a huge cemetery looked very busy (meaning all the headstones loads of them side by side)thanks again Ron ☺️
I have always been intrigued by Harry Houdini! I learned a lot more about him by watching your video. Thank you!
One of the greatest illusionists as well as showmen to have ever lived.
Great video Ron. Truly a interesting man.
We are glad you liked it 🙂

Another great presentation, I really enjoyed this especially with the song at the end. Thanks Ron for the educational and entertaining job you always do.
my favorite part was the end--ROSABELLE BELIEVE. I believe...
What an interesting life! People back then seemed more daring and took more chances. Hopefully he and Bess found each other on the other side ❤️ great content as always!
Great video have fun with your boys at the basketball game!! Stay safe out there!!
Great show!!
That was an exceptional video Ron, thank you for the grave tour and thank you for playing the song I never heard it and I’ve read all the books including one that was written in the 1940s that showed how he created and did all of his illusions. However,there was a few things I didn’t know which surprised me.superb💯👍🏻❤️
Thank you Ron for this video
That was such a great episode to watch Ron, thank you as always. The song tribute at the end and photos were very touching 💜🇬🇧
