The term “ Stinking Rich “ came from graveyards. Bodies buried in the ground, the odours would be absorbed but people that could afford overground crypts stunk. As their bodies decomposed a bad stench would waft across the graveyard… hence the term “ Stinking Rich “ ❤️🐾
That’s so cool thanks
The decomposition of soft tissue should have taken place long before now, leaving only the bones. There has to be another source of the smell.
Ghost farts.👻
Agree with you, there's probably a dead rat in there
Dead mouses.. dead cat other dead animal..
@@conditionallyunconditional5691LOL😂🤣👍
Totally agree..maybe a feral cat,dog..something larger than a squirrel for a smell as strong as was explained
I love your accent. Your voice is so calming.
Hmmmm, something is very dodgy with the stinky mausoleum! There should be about 10 family members in there. Caskets are usually, but not always, placed on shelves of some sort above the ground. A casket from 1965 should still be there even with water damage. I've seen other completely waterlogged mausoleums where caskets and skeletons are visible. This is a mystery Dan. Deb of Oz.
You make a good point.
Hi , it may have been a good idea to report the smell it to whoever runs the cemetary and possibly the police or local council so it can be investigated through legal means. I know you did no damage with the drain camera looking through the cracks but it is rather intrusive from the familys perspective i would imagine.
Indeed.
The families are long gone.. It is definitely not a rotting corpse that smells. What is left of the bodies would not have the smell of decomposition.
Nothing is sacred anymore.
@@NLouise443 They're dead, they don't care
there descendants very much are as well as the extended family ( i am one ) @@caroleeb1997
I explore abandoned houses. I once went into this house that was abandoned since the 1960s. And in the house, under the bed. Was a casket of their dead pet cat. Which said it died in the 60s. And the smell was so so so bad. To the point I could not stay in the room.
Mold, sulfate. A cat 50 plus years old would not have the smell of decomp anymore.
Great channel! Do Halloweenie Special, please! My dad was a cemetery/abandoned urbexer decades ago. Our Sunday drives (common form of family entertainment in the 1950's) always ended up in an old cemetery or old abandoned house to explore. RIP Dad! ❤
Thank you. Sorry your Dad has passed, he sounded like my kinda guy
RIP
My family weren't undertaker but still that was out Sunday afternoon entertainment cos where we lived we had no tv until I was 14 !
Old & abandoned were favs when I was off adventuring with my sons as well. They knew if Mom saw an old cemetery we were going exploring.
By any chance are you my long lost aunty...!ol
Fantastic , the care and workmanship is beyond comprehension , just amazing
Fascinating and revolting at the same time! Thanks for the follow up
As they are now, one day you will be.💀Unless you are Cremated of course.
1965 is well past the smell by date. Lol
Not true. I explore abandoned houses. I once went into this house that was abandoned since the 1960s. And in the house, under the bed. Was a casket of their dead pet cat. Which said it died in the 60s. And the smell was so so so bad. To the point I could not stay in the room.
The blob you mentioned on the wall in the second mausoleum looked to me like a profile etching or drawing of a man.
its mold ...
For you to be able to see anything in the tombs with the pipe camera, you could use your flashlight and the camera together. That way you don’t just see darkness.
The most likely cause of that smell is from a mix of mold and mildew inside that mausoleum. That thing has serious moisture issues as evidenced by the stalactites growing from the ceiling.
Interesting. I would have expected the caskets to be placed inside of something. I didn't realize they were just stacked on top of one another.
Thanks for the fallow up video Dan, and bringing closure to the smelly mystery. One would think that after so much time the remains would be past the worst of the smell. Perhaps the coffins where very well sealed in the beginning, and over time where exposed to water that broke down the caskets exposing the remains. May they rest in peace. 🙏
I love a follow up video! Also, stoked that you made some cool products. I just ordered a sticker and a mug!
awww thanks for buying some merch, so cool x
Alrite! So glad you went back to this place with your new camera Thank you! ❤🤘❤️🇺🇸
At 7.44 when you look through the crack at the floor and shine the torch through, it looks like a shadowy pair of legs, like someone is standing at the back
There would have to be another explanation for the smell unfortunately, anything open to the elements and in the state of decomposition (past decomposition even) shown in the video would not produce a smell as pungent as described.
For some reason, some of the drain cam views do remind me of a few of the more gross ear exams I’ve had to do over the years 🤢🤣
I really think the bodies in the crypt or mosoleum would have decomposed long ago. I think it was probably a dead animal or something close by that you could smell. Because like i said they are past that point in that mosoleum for the smell to have been them. Also they say that negative entities often smell like some thing dead. Maybe you were in close proximity to one that day you witnessed the smell. Who knows just a couple suggestions. Stay safe blessings for your protection. Cheers. 😊

This is such a beautiful cemetery. I am glad you went back. Thanks for trying and determining what the awful smell was. Great job! A night walk is good! 🎉♥️👌👍😊
Your drain camera, needs a light source, such as your flashlight, the same way your phone camera does. If the drain camera is viewing through a crack, then the light would have to be shining through the vent. You may need a second person to be able to accomplish this. Wishing you Good luck 👍
Please no! Don’t intrude the piece of the deads of these graves again.
Yeah! A 1000W halogen floodlamp! 😃
I agree Marjo! @@marjo-riittareinikainen9740
Gorgeous stones in this one.Thanks for taking us back👍🤗❤️
My dad would take me and my daughter cemetery exploring he loved the older headstones. Rip dad.
Absolutely love this location. Thank you so much for sharing 😊❤
The person has been buried long that they aren’t likely to be the source of the smell. My guess is that a bird or rodent got in there and died not long ago. I loved looking inside though! I hope that they are resting in peace, both the person and the small creature.
In the Victorian section of Calvary Cemetery in NYC, all the mausoleums are just funeral monuments, the dead are buried beneath the ornate floors. Some of them are quite beautiful inside and frequently contain windows to allow people to see inside.
Wow! Tight squeeze for the cemetery... interesting stones in the woods. Amazing how they look..thank you for sharing this... a night walk sounds a Lil creepy 😮!
I love going through cemetery’s myself but I do have respect for the dead.I enjoy what they did for work,where the lived and so on.I have been following you and I am glad you enjoy doing that,keep it up.Cheryl shaimas
That's crazy that the bones are just laying on the ground, for some reason i thoughts the bodies would be in vaults
as a butterfield i was interested a lot its more info of my family i did not know thanks for the cilp and the camera thing was respectful.
I’ve been slowly ticking off the magnificent 7 in London. It’s been a wonderful journey so far. I’ve done Highgate, Kensal Green and soon I’m planning a trip to Brompton and Nunhead. So glad I can find creators like you that are also interested in this rather niche (and to some morbid) little hobby. Love your content !
Perhaps cut a swiffer duster in half, length wise and glue on a wooden dowel to effectively clean the spider webs and debris from the holes before inserting the camera?
Beautiful 🤩 old cemetery. May they all Rip 🪦. Great video friend. Amen 🙏. 🪦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇵🇷🙏🙏.
A night walk would be great, but only if you will be safe!
That weathered plywood in the opening :20. If you look at the grain of the wood with a little imagination you can see spiders and skulls. 😺
Nite sounds good thanx Dan
Great video! A night walk sounds cool. Thanks for the video!
Great video Dan and yes, that would be wonderful if you did a Halloween night walk through.
Ron of “Faces Of the Forgotten” might interest you.
@@debbieflaherty1975 Already fall well, thank you.
Great video as always . Never seen the outline of a body like that before . Thank you for taking us along x
Glad you got to the source of smell in mosouluem! I think it is the combination of the bones mixed in with the dampness producing the odor.
Very good! It is a satisfactory conclusion that our various theories of murder victim, rats, cats, gas, bats and puppy-dogs' tails were not the real source of the odiferous effluvium!
And yes, journeyings through old grave yards is not morbid curiosity as names often come up that bring a memory jog "I wonder if they . . . " 😊🙂😄🤔Col, NZ
I thought I seen a wire cage around what looked to be a skull inside the 2nd mausoleum you looked into, my eyes playing a trick on me I’m guessing. Another beautiful cemetery, thanks for sharing!
Earlier poster mentioned the length of time of the smell being due to the white residue/ stalagtites being saponified and or melted fat releasing scent when sufficiently wet. Its exposure to water is probably also why its in the icicle shaped stalagtite formations ( if thats what it is) due to seeping from shelves or stacking coffins etc. That would hold the smell and periodically release it. Also i hav had the misfortune of encountering the same odor release phenomena with an old pile of building remnants soneone stepped thru which had been torn down probably after a body had been recovered afte4 decomposing there and the overpowering smell of human decomp released despite never having been detectable in the building prior to that. I think porous surfaces i.e. the stone floor can hold in the decomposed liquid and fat only to release the odor in certain conditions
Human decomp has a sickly sweet and distinctly greasy smell that is particularly unique and very different from that of other creatures. It also spreads further in higher concentration than even other large mammals.
this explains alot. Those gravecicles do be greasy looking.
🤢
@@melw4812 reminescent of rendered bacon fat that has re-solidified after cooling...
@@naimayaman4975 yeah, that looks like adipocere
Oh man…
06:00 Mate ,you have a wild imagination 😂😂😂
Friend: Which channel do you prefer to watch at night?
Me:Its complicated.
nick at night ?
I don’t know one person who likes bugs and cob webs, mold and funky dampness! I don’t want what’s left of my earthly remains hanging out in such a environment! Crypts are the worst! 😖😃
Me either I want cremation and let my ashes to the wind .
A Halloween video would be awesome!!
I second that motion! A scary graveyard walk at sunset with haunting music playing in the background! 👻🎃
Different people have different sensitivities to the smell of decomposition. The smell is atrocious to me, but I once had to retrieve a decomposing opossum from an enclosed space and my neighbor was trying to help me, and my neighbor was having a worse time of it as he kept gagging and threatening to vomit. I had to take the lead and was able to do it without all the drama. I was more concerned with him vomiting on me than I was at the smell of the dead animal. 😂
Of course he may have been exaggerating to get out of the dirty work, but I think he was genuinely more effected than I was by the smell.
A night walk sounds good, but don’t do it alone, I’m not worried about ghosts, more worried about muggers & vandals.
What a stunning graveyard Dan. One day I'll find one like this. Cheers for sharing 👍
So you’re going to tell me, that in that stinky mausoleum where you say there is nothing left, all the hardware from the coffins are gone? Wasn’t the last body buried in 1965? Should be some metal left from that coffin.
Not all mausoleums were utilized the same way, it depended on whether entire families or just a single body or couple would be interred. Some buried the coffins below the floors, some installed them in niches in the walls and some had a platform/s upon which the casket/s were displayed. Sometimes a body was laid out to decompose either on it's own or in a temporary casket, the bones in this case would later be gathered and installed beneath the floor or in a niche in the wall in smaller containers and the platform would be ready for the next. It is the families responsibility to maintain the mausoleum and the structural issues and disaster inside indicate an end to the family lineage or finances, the last deceased to be laid to rest did not get to finish the process. I think those may have been bones and the white stuff looked like saponified fat which is probably what is stinking when it gets wet.
Coffins in the UK tend to be wooden. In a damp, acidic environment, a wooden coffin interred in 1965 would still have rotted away long ago along with the body inside. Any metal hardware would have corroded or rusted away beyond identification. The open vents at the side allowed a great deal of moisture to enter the mausoleum, thereby speeding up decay. I suspect the Butterfield family lineage ended quite some time ago, and that would explain the condition of the mausoleum.
I think a night walk for a Halloween special would be nice... But generally speaking I like your day time videos, as they tend to be so peaceful.
If 1965 was the last burial theres no way that it was THAT strong of a smell. Most likely dead animal, you cant mistake that fresh decomp smell.
Even though i want to see inside that one mausoleum you are so right for not going down those steps, they looked crazy slippery. Safety first ❤
Love this video. Im happy theres people out there that enjoy cemeteries as much as i do. Im in the states though so not too many nice old burials :(
Really fascinating. I would have thought that if they could afford a mausoleum plus a chapel above they would have used led lined coffins. However I guess they could have burst open at some point fairly recently hence the stink I assume the chapel was accessed behind the mausoleum. It would be interesting to know if anyone has a key to the door and if the lock works which I would assume is extremely unlikely.
I noticed that you didn't seem to notice the watermark on all the tombs. There clearly was standing water from a flood, that left marks on the cemetery. If bodies are exposed to water they rapidly deteriorate.
Probably a dead rat or a cat that's crawled off to die. Cats often go off to a quiet place to die.
I heard that creepy voice again, twice 😱Did you understand where it came from?
What timestamp?
@@NephtysLXXXVI 1:20 1:49. I took a look on Maps and behind the cemetery there's a rail road, so it's probably a train. But damn! It's creepy 😅
Yep definitely a train 😅
The books with the fist on top was probably to imply the old saying that knowledge is power.
I would love to watch a night walk, especially on Halloween ❤
My thoughts exactly. Though in this age, books have all been digitized and uploaded on the web. 👍
The first attempt looked like inside someone's Ear hole .
Thats a compliment considering my efforts haha
Been waiting for this one😊😊😊😊😊. Be sure and find a couple of good ones for Halloween.
Watching your channel is inspiring me to visit some of my ancestors graves.
You go to the cemetery all alone? No way ! Blessings to you from Missouri. USA.
I go with you guys 😀
One time I saw mold like that on the inside of a private family mausoleum all on the tile floor.
Can’t wait!!
Hi ur videos are amazing we enjoy these videos looking forward to it 😊❤
The humidity inside the mausoleums causes the bodies to slowly decompose. An indication of humidity is the fungis.
The Gave yard is very very beautiful love it.... hope all are resting in pice my prayers for all who rest here 😊😢😊😊
I had a neighbor in an apartment complex who died and no one knew! I live in phoenix Arizona. There may have been an odor but I didn't notice it. When taking the corpse away someone said it was just like after road kill had settled. No disrespect intended. Myself at one time was noticed by my absence from work. They found me close to death in my apartment! I was listed as a jane doe. They got me in time
Is this legal? Here in Germany you could not do this.
You can walk around bud sticking a Camera in a Mausoleum would be disturbence of the Death and you would be charged.
I love old Graveyards.
Here in Finland we also have policy of the grave peace, and for that reason I find this video very disturbing.
@@marjo-riittareinikainen9740 yes, i dont like to see someone disturbing the Peace of Dead.
It dont matters how long the Person ist dead. The Grave should be left in Peace.
Night walks sound cool Dan, just don't go on your own! How do you feel about doing the garden cemeteries, like Highgate etc;?
Highgate is huge Dan be there forever filming. There's plenty of Highgate vids on RUclips.
@@greywebs1944 I know, I just love Highgate lol. There are other garden cemeteries like Brompton, & he could pick a smaller area rather than the whole thing.
@@catchloe1989 I think Dan prefers smaller videos to capture, then go back another time. And I also like what their occupation's were as Dan usually points out 👉 Highgate is amazing to visit all year round I've visited a few times 👻
Drain camera would of been crazy silly nuts if it had a better light source keep up the good work
I've never seen anything like this before, you seem to have it down to a real science, and I've done a goodly few hours M.I. researching!
go to 7/40 when you stuck the light in the bottom of the door and watch again WHO'S SHADDOW standing there ?
Dan that was one CREEPY graveyard , i got an errie feel with it ,,it gave me goosebumps 😳 😱
I just discovered your page mate. Loving it.
This is such an interesting tour. I hope to see inside more mausoleums.
Me too Bee x
This place is creepy enough during the day. Night time be even creepier 👻👍 Got my vote ✍️
you should connect a daisy chain of small LED bulbs to a long wire and a battery so a strong light source can fit through cracks too
When you are looking at graves from the mid 1800's, their is a good chance their living relatives don't even know about the ancestors who died that long ago.
Love Victorian cemeteries the Architecture is fabulous
That's a wicked looking cemetery
the inside of that mausoleum was so gross!! That seems like a fail for the mortuary.
I wouldn't go at night!
New member here Dan. I love your videos so far, so going to settle in for a binge watch for the ones I've not seen yet 👀. Would love to see some night walks, there's nothing more atmospheric than an old cemetery at night (especially when spooky season is upon us 👻)
Thanks for becoming a member, I really appreciate the support. I'm just plucking up the courage to do some night stuff :D
Great video dude! Would love to see a night walk!
Interesting to see inside those mausoleum.
A lovely Victorian cemetery, perfect for a night walk. Your idea gets my vote.
The cemetery is so beautiful!
13:04 That is WILD.
The cemetery looks like a giant chess set.
A night walk...that would be great! A little spooky though but it’s a yes from me. 😉👍
Good video! Yes, you must do night walks! You must have strong stomach! I remember we found a dead fox under a old shed in our garden some years back…gees that smell was something else! I am surprised given the cost of some of those mausoleums that the deceased persons were placed in lead coffin at time of internment.
a night walk will bé great but personally I prefer to see the beauty of the monuments, structure, scenery etc. while a night walk will capture the spooky part only ʜᴇ ₕₑ ʰᵉ ᕼE😁
Odd to see the marker for the soldier who died in 1915. Sad he was all by himself.
Expensive gravestones, you can tell the people with money!
When I see these old mausoleums or gates with locks I wonder whatever happened to the keys
Amazing Cemetery sad Through time They are all gone .
It sickens me and makes me very sad 😢😢😢 that a lot of cemeteries are not taken care of
Hi Dan, please do a Halloween special! Love your channel! Glad you’re my kinda of peep. No one understands why I like to walk in cemeteries. 😒
