- Today we visit a graveyard in Killegy, Killarney, Kerry.
Rumoured for having satanic rituals and visited by many paranormal groups.
Killegy hold several amazing crypts and vaults with skelatal remains.
Killegy also has Irelands tallest Celtic Cross and a man who wished to be entombed sitting up in his vault to watch over his home in Muckross House in Killarney.
On Exploring the graves and vaults we find one of the most strange, sad and interesting inscriptions we have ever found. After cleaning the slab we discover a man deserted by friends and family who served in the army.
Thanks to his son finding his private papers we can now read what this man wanted as his inscription.

I am so glad GV wanted to check out that engraved plaque in detail. So sad he felt so alone except for his army buddies. So good his son did this for him. It is an amazing old cemetery and views are. Awesome.
Carol, we felt it was meant to be, I truly believe faith brought us to visit James, GV was so good to clean the inscription
Rest in peace🙏🏼
Sad to think james had a family that deserted him and has no friends.
But james had the courage to serve his country and his king.
I'm quite sure james holds a special place in the arms of the lord.
People of Ireland can be proud of this hero.
Greetings from Connecticut USA 🇺🇸
Thanks Allan ❤️
The thing is, Ireland was colonised by the British and at the time, Irish people had nothing but hatred for everything associated with England, and they would never call an English king their King. They would have disowned him, not been proud of him.
Which Ireland is that? Irish Republic or Northern Ireland?
This is Kerry, west of Ireland, in the Republic
No need to EVER apologise for anything Sue Your vids are amazing and this was no exception.Thanks for making the journey back to this wonderful place 😘
Thanks Maurenn, appreciate you
Breathtaking scenery, and I'm so, so glad that you found James' burial site and his plaque. I was so touched by the inscription and thrilled that GV managed to clean off the moss so that he could read the whole thing. I reckon you were directed to that plaque so that James' name could be heard and all watching could hear of his life and of his passing. Something made you stop there and investigate more. Loved this video. Thank you so much for all that you do. ~ Cobs. (Dorset. England)
Definitely, as we walked down the hill we said to each other we were meant to find him ❤️
That was so sad about the man who had no friends and family deserted him he must have felt so alone I am so glad he had a son who wrote what he wanted to be writing and also that is the biggest cross I have ever seen thank you both for your video I found it really interesting ❤
Thanks Agnes, yes so sad
I will never tire of gazing upon that magnificent cross! It's hard to believe the little chapel is over 300 years old, and still intact. You were definitely meant to find James and uncover his story. I wonder if he was abandoned by his family as a child, or perhaps an orphan, to have such deep feelings of desertion as an adult. Thank you both so much for a wonderful adventure. Take care. Deb of Oz. XX
Thanks Deb, hoping to find more information on James, if anyone can help it would be fantastic ❤️❤️
Same here….stunning…
Will you be visiting Scotland? ❤
That has to be the largest Celtic cross I’ve ever seen. Look at that view!
The grounds are old,
and beautiful!
The mountain range,just lovely.
Beautiful old growth trees! You guys go above and beyond for us!
Thank you.
No wonder he wanted to see that view forever!
Thanks Roberta ❤️
I'm so glad I came across your video's. They are so worth watching. Ireland is a beautiful place and I'm so proud to be part Irish. This video is very interesting, I'm happy for James that he had a good and caring son. Thankyou for sharing this video 💖💖💐💐
Ahhthanks Daphne ❤️
I love this video! How sad that the gentleman felt so alone. At least he had his son who made sure he was resting in peace in this awesome graveyard. That huge cross was very cool! Great video guys❤
Thanks so much Gina, James is remembered today 🙌
I think you all were drawn to James McGrath on purpose, it's almost as if he wanted to be remembered, if only by strangers. He knew he was an honorable man even though others may not have stuck by him, at least his son inherited his decency and did the honorable thing by making that plaque. Thank you GV for showing us a glimpse into somebody else's life. And what a beautiful cemetery! I too have seen the other videos; that Celtic cross is like no other, and the view! Breathtaking. Thank you guys and safe trip home.
Thanks so much for another great stream and some history of some amazing people in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Hello 👋 beautiful. I'm in Mckinney Texas. (🇺🇸). You forgot to mention the country you are in ? Thanks 😊 for the interestingly story. Good thing he said Ireland, as I was typing. I'll rewatch. Thumbs up. Keep up the good stories..
Yes Hollis this is Ireland, apologies x x
My Nan always told me & my siblings that Things happen for a reason which is probably right for you guys as well taking a walk in this cemetery & coming upon the inscription of poor James McGrath it’s like he needed his story telling, thanks for taking the extra time out to do the video I always love seeing your videos.
Thanks so much Jan, yes we felt he wanted us to find him ❤️
Thank you for taking us along. What a nice find of the covered stone of James.
I'm so happy we remembered James
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I am , too. He may not have had family love in his time. But he does now.
Glad you trusted your intuition to stop at this cemetery. It was so beautiful as you said the beauty of Green in Ireland. Poor James McGrath. I pray he’s so loved in his new life. Great video, touching.
Thank you, I think we were meant to find James, I really do
Interesting graveyard and a beautiful view! I love that huge Celtic cross. Very sad about the guy with no
friends and his family deserted him. Glad he had a son so his story can be told.
I'm so glad we found him
Thank for taking the time to clean that marker. James deserves to be remembered.
I firmly believe we were meant to find James
This video was beautiful, thank you.
Thanks a million 😊
Sue…so glad to see you today. Love you!!❤
Hi IrishAnnie ❤️
Gorgeous area! I think green burials sound awesome. They bury you in a “suit” (like comfy pajamas) made out of mushrooms, in a lovely place (like in forest) and nature takes its course. 😊❤
I have a natural burial ground on my channel, we were thinking of going back as so many request it, just to show the contrast. I loved it
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Oh, that would be Wonderful! I’d love to see it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a green burial . That’s how I want to leave this journey so peaceful and real. We return to earth of with we came , hey from USA
Right on
That cross is HUGE! In all my cemetery travels I have never seen anything that big. The cemetery was quite beautiful at that time at night, with the setting sun peeking through the trees. Lovely.
Thank you, yes it's the largest I've ever seen in my life, so beautiful
What a discovery of that tombstone for James. Agree this is a beautiful area. RIP to James and his son I'm sure has long since passed.
I'm so happy we found him 💓
Please take care of yourselves when you're out and about, filming for us to enjoy. You all do such a great job!
Thanks Ann x x
Beautiful grave yard, beautiful scenic views, and very interesting plaque! Thank you!
Thanks Kim, I'm so thankful we found James McGrath, hoping our friend Kris will be able to get some info on him for us, if he can I'll share it with you all
Another great adventure . You two must be so fit , walking and climbing to bring us these videos. Loved the cross on the gate of the flooded tomb to stop spirits from leaving with you . Thank you so much x
Thanks Caron ❤️
Great video Sue! I love how you show everything. You bring these souls back to life when you read their names.
You're so very welcome 🙏
Thank you for taking the time and effort doing these videos Sue & GV,an amazing find with James MGrath,what a life he must have had.
Thanks Bailey ❤️
What a gorgeous High Cross. We were in Killarney but it was night till we got to our B&B and we wanted to eat. We went into to the town so quaint we ate at a restaurant on the second floor we sat beside the window. There was a bride with a short veil and a group of young ladies walking through the town. It’s was so nice to see the little town.
I adore Killarney, it's a real hot spot for tourists. Lots of hen and stag parties there too
What a beautiful place, so much amazing history! Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks very much, it sure was beautiful
Wow! What a find! I don't think I'd have noticed James' stone under those leaves. And, you debunked the myth of the man entombed in his chair! Thank you for the great tour. x
Thanks toms, I'm so glad we found James
A beautiful graveyard. Thank you for another fine video.
Cheers Tony, it's so beautiful camera doesn't do it justice
I absolutely love how beautifully green it is there. Living in the desert southwest, It's like visiting a park for me. I love the history there, too.
Thanks Susan it's Lush here, love it, I'm blessed 🙌
I wonder if James was a young orphan - without any family or friends - and so went into the army as a safe place - and though he may have done well and had at least 1child - never got over his life's rough start .Im glad you found him and cared some of his story .GV - happy birthday !
Oh Gabs, that really sounds about right and I never even thought of that, God rest him
Sue, thank you so much for showing this beautiful area and beautiful Cemetery. That is gorgeous area that is and really enjoyed it thank you. I am also glad to see that that's soldiers headstone was found and I'm a believer that anyone who fights for their country should be remembered and not forgotten like that. Thank you both for sharing and hope both of you have a safe trip home and hopefully your asthma gets a little better.
Thanks Joel, appreciate it 🙏
Im excited to have found this video! I have ancestral family from Killarney. King and Regan were their names.
Oh wow! Brilliant
Beautiful area ! Beautiful cemetery! I believe you were meant to go there. So sad he was alone, even in death he drew you near so be would be thought of again
Thank you both so very much !
That's how we felt when we were walking back to the car, we were filled with pride, I felt he wanted us to find him
@@SerenitySueGraveyards exactly he wanted to feel like his life mattered :)
No need to apologize for what you do, that's the reason we are all here, we would love to be able to do what you do. James McGregors plaque was written to be read, it would be a disservice not to clean it off so he can be remembered once again, thank you for doing so, much respect ❤
Thanks Zoey, that means a lot ❤️❤️
How people liked their burial could be so!! Viewing out side mountains, lake and other various things even after their burial..Ireland history is so interesting..thank you Sue for this video gives an alternate thought..
Oh imagine it was like buying your home, find your forever home after death 🤔 scenery area etc
Thanks Sue very interesting!
Ho Eileen, you're very welcome 🙏
Thank you Sue and GV that was a great video the view is stunning for sure! That soldiers inscription made me wonder why his parents disowned him very sad.
Hi Jules, it's so very sad, I'd love to know what happened. I was so excited to find him
That cross is massive and a little Erie too . Digging the shoes GV ! Thanks guys i really enjoy what you do ❤️
Thanks Randy, appreciate it 🙏
Really enjoyed this excellent video! Thank you for your efforts. Ireland is absolutely beautiful. ❤
We are so blessed ❤️
Ireland is so beautiful. I would love to come there. Thank you for the hard work you do for us. This big Celtic Cross is so amazing. With that view it is so peaceful.
Thanks so much ❤
Thank you for showing us this beautiful place. The scenery is amazing. As you said, a beautiful place to be laid to rest.
Ahh it sure would be a nice place to be buried
Another interesting video has always sue and family 👍
Thanks so much Tony, our pleasure
Amazing and with the stone with writing plus the bones and coffins thanks to both
Cheers Tom, it was a great explore
Great video and story..such a beautiful cemetery.
Thank you, it's definitely one of my favourites
Looks Beautifull there thank you for sharing...
Very welcome 🙏
Hi Sue. A wonderful video as usual for you😉I am so glad that both you and gv cleaned off the memorial. Such a sad story that was. And as i always tell you i would just love to be living in Ireland. Such a beautiful and proud country. Must be the three quarter Irish in me showing. Take care and God bless you.❤🙏
Hi Michael, I'm so happy we found James Mcgrath, sad story but we remembered him. Yes I'm blessed to live here, definitely the Irish in you
Watching from BC Canada. Always love your videos Sue . Keep up the good work , always fascinating.
Appreciate it Kastaways
Another interesting vid Sue. Thank you. 🌹
Thanks so much 🙏
You are the greatest! Thank you for all that you always do. ❤️👍🏽😍😘🌹💕🌺🇵🇷🇺🇲
Ahh thanks Cathy 😊 ❤️
Absolutely beautiful. You and GV were meant to find James.
I definitely believe so too, we are still researching James we have no more information on him as of yet, hopefully we will soon
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. You've got a new subscriber here in Douglas, Wyoming.
Thanks so much ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards You're very welcome.
lovely green scenery 💚
I live in the concrete jungle🏙
much appreciated Sue
like #64
Thanks Nancy, I feel very blessed to live in the country x x I just adore it
I am sure that wealthy guy's body is BEHIND that wall.. because, in the video you can see the two coffins are in a basically narrow room but there is still quite a bit of distance from there to the spot right underneath the Cross. So, the actual owner of that elaborate grave is right underneath that Cross, that means behind that red wall...he must have been given a seperate room behind those red bricks. And those are not candles, they are salty discarges from the roof/above soil over a long period.
Oh wow, imagine getting a look into that area
It's cool that you could actually get down in the vault to see the coffin. I've seen GVs video of this cemetery. Incredible LARGE cross!
That cross is absolutely amazing don't think we'll ever see one larger, thanks Becky
Thank you for sharing this amazing and historical cemetery!!
Very welcome Alan x
One of the most gorgeous cemeteries you've been to. I think the last time you were there it was a bit sunnier but still an incredible and very beautiful place. That Celtic cross is absolutely stunning and the mountains and green grass.. so very Ireland.
Thanks Jen ❤️
So nice to see my systar s and brother s in Ireland and to see some of my ancestors home land .keep it up friend s from across the pond thanks for showing me some home land I do miss home ....🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Always welcome my friend
It’s so beautiful there! My goodness!❤❤❤ Thank you Sue for showing us this!
It is Tamara ❤️
Beautiful, scenery!
It was gorgeous
Sue: your videos are always interesting! I enjoy them very much. A.McMahon- Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Thanks Anthony, appreciate it
Thank you sue 😊really enjoyed this. Xxx
I hope Kris can do his magic and find James McGrath for us
@@SerenitySueGraveyards fingers crossed 🤞
I have been watching these very special videos nonstop since I found the first one yesterday. each of them so unique and exquisitely beautiful. Ireland is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Whenever I visit a new place, especially when my sister is with me, I love to visit the cemeteries and read the stories there. You find some very fascinating stories that are left behind. I want to clean up the stones that have been neglected.and there are people who do that. I believe that there is nothing to fear there, bones will not hurt you and the Bible teaches that once a person dies he is in God‘s memory waiting for the resurrection. And death is the end of it, until God is ready to bring them back. John 5:28-9. That being said, we may have the opportunity to find out the story of each of their lives in the future. Something to think about. Thank you for working so hard to bring us such entertainment. It is wholesome and interesting, captivating in its own way. I love the lichen so much, that grows upon the stones and I find all of it so fascinating and beautiful in its own way. And the old churches you show us are amazing in their Gothic appeal. There is something so bittersweet seeing the remains of buildings that were enjoyed in their lifetime. History is quite enchanting and romantic.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it 🙏
Another fantastic video thank you both,rest up now and take care ,stay healthy,as for the graves and crypts ,think I said it before,maybe Mother Nature is reclaiming and protecting those who rest here .Their mortal remains are here but their souls are with their lord.
God bless them all and you both as well from ballarat in Oz,👏👏🙏🙏👋👍🇦🇺
Hi Peter, thanks a million
Keep up the great work Sue . Loved todays video .
Thanks so much, I appreciate it 🙏
It must be that you cause a happy spark of appreciation from some folk who have lost track of the whereabouts of their ancestors but find them via a chance video shot of a gravestone in some abandoned, forgotten cemetery that you have chosen by either random or intent to visit. You are never disrespecting a grave by doing a little housekeeping.
Thanks so much, appreciate it 🙏
27:30 but 200 years later, he has us 🕯️
Rest in peace, James and may eternal light shine upon your soul 🙏
Thanks so much Vow ❤️
Always the beauty of the countryside. I love how respectful you an GV you both are. Thank you
@@pinkvolo thanks so much ❤️
thank you!! fascinating. i live in New York state and we have some beautiful hills and mountains, but none as green as Ireland!
Thanks Marlene ❤️
Yes good for GV doing a video too on the subject.
Thanks Sally
another great video thank for sharing it
Thanks Jamie x x
That cross was gorgeous! Such a beautiful place.
Oh the whole of Kerry is absolutely stunning, so very beautiful
What a beautiful cemetery. Even the grass look so green. Thank you for another amazing adventure ❤
In the summer, Ireland is magnificent grass is greener, I suppose that's where the name came from The Emerald Isle
Wow! I don't think you'd see graves so deep in the ground with steps going down to it here in America, especially the further South you go from about the middle of Alabama, Southern Georgia, etc. because the water level is high (very sandy with underground streams). This is so cool!!
It is so cool, I've lots on my channel
I like the presentation of this channel, reminds me a bit of "Faces of the forgotten" with am Irish accent. Keep up the good work
Thanks Nick ❤️
Hi there I'm new to your channel genuinely loving your content 👍 keep up with the lovely work your doing. Thank you both 👍😊
Hi and welcome, I hope you enjoy my videos, love from Ireland 🇮🇪
I for 1 am grateful that you do go up and down in these places its interesting and very humbling too as the people who are there were once like we are now and after all were all born with a date on our head invisible to us so these places give us these dates of those who walked the land many years before us so keep doing what you do god bless you and gv
Thanks Martin
thats a sad story about James 😢 makes me wonder why he had no mates and his family deserted him , a remarkably strong man
Yesvery sad Julia, glad we found him
Here's a video I missed.....oh no...😯 I love these so very old cemeteries you find. Though old and so lovely. They always seem different. Be blessed dear Sue. Love ya❤❤😊😊
Thank Deborah ❤️
We can always come together to honor and respect the ones who never knew us. God rest their souls. Thank you for sharing this video. Sending love from Oklahoma,America.
Well said, I think it's important ❤️
Thanks! 🌻😊
Very welcome
Thank you both for the wonderful video. God bless🙏💕💕
Thanks Roxanne ❤️
What a absolute beauty of a cross
It's certainly the nicest I've ever seen Maire and what a stunning place it's in, Heaven on earth
Wow what I can I say sue and Paul ur amazing thank you and God bless u be safe
Thanks Paul ❤️
Wow! That is a beautiful cross with Celtic designs!!
Know here as Celtic high crosses but this is the largest I've seen
Such a beautiful cemetery and view. thanks for sharing. God Bless!!!
Very welcome Loots
Fascinating and so sad! Odd that the mausoleum has so many niches but only two occupants. Lady Stair of Castle Kennedy in Scotland was buried standing up. She said as long as she remained standing the fortunes of her family would not fail. So far it seems to be working. Her family bought Carscreugh when my ancestor lived before moving to Barnbarroch near Kirkinner. There is a very old Chapel and graveyard near the ruins of Carscreugh which oddly enough was built on a moor which was very unusual for a mansion house.
Wow Colby never heard that, what a fantastic story
@@SerenitySueGraveyardshe book “The Bride of Lammermoor” by Sir Walter Scott takes place partly at Carscreugh Castle. It’s a wonderful book to read but incredibly sad and is based on true events. My late mother climbed the stairs in the tower at Carscreugh in 1984 but now the stairs are gone. She went all the way to the top of the tower.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I corrected the spelling as it is more commonly known as Carscreugh Castle
Very brave of her, pity they are now gone
Great video beautiful
Thanks a million
Henry Hubert celtic cross is huge , i can see why they didnt bother trying to remove it , if it wasnt fully paid for , what a pretty cemetery such gorgeous countryside ❤ thanks for sharing Sue
Thanks Julia ❤️
What a lovely place,thanks for the tour of the cemetery,have a good sleep.
Thanks so much, yes I'm off to bed now 😴
Mrs Sue. I had expected you to bring some rubber galoshes along with you so you could get down the stair wells that were flooded. 😅.
As per usual, great video !
Haha Robert, I should have shown you the hill we climbed to get here definitely couldn't hike in them 😄
Great ole grave yard, interesting all the Vincent graves, makes me wonder is they were ancestors of mine, lol.
Ohh could be not many surname of Vincent here
I remember when you were at this place before, Sue. The views are still stunning even at dusk ❤Poor James Magrath 😢 Do let us know if you find out more about him.
I'll definitely post it if we find anything on James
Beautiful area! Very interesting Sue. You were ment to read about that man! No accident. Thanks Sue!
You know liz when we were walking down off the hill GV said we were meant to find James, this is our second visit and we didn't find him the first time, so we truly believe that faith brought us back. We weren't even going to film that day but it was so beautiful I said I would. Hoping Kris can do some digging for us and Unearth his story ❤️🙏
@@SerenitySueGraveyards agree! He wanted to be found!
Maybe he may or may not have really been forgotten by his family at least he may have thought so, but he at least had a son (& possibly his family may have been there too, we don't know) who cared enough to leave that plack. Maybe the son at least might be buried somewhere near the dad.
At least because of you both making this video that officer who served his country WILL BE remembered now all over the world.
I'll bet he's smiling down from heaven, a tear or two falling down from being remembered thanks to you both.💖☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
@@ruthshelton-tp9ie thanks Ruth, we have Kris Peterson on the case who can hopefully uneart who this man was and why if he was deserted by family. At least his son must have claimed the man's body and personal papers and felt love for his father to write his wish on his plaque
@@SerenitySueGraveyards
Let's hope so .
That was a beautiful setting to be placed in & a big beautiful cross.
Take care sweet Sue☘️
Much luv from Maryland 🦀
So many stories filled with joy and sorrow and hope in the past...and today.
It's so compelling to see the inscriptions that were written so long ago. It helps me to imagine what these people might have been like...and what I would like on MY grave marker
Thank you ❤️
So beautiful I love the work you guys do thank you for the amazing videos you do❤❤❤
Always welcome Steve
What an amazing find of James McGraths headstone. I want to say no apology needed on my part for cleaning it. I believe it was meant for you guys to find it and uncover it.
I wanted to mention to you that I sometimes watch another channel that goes and finds graves in the wooded areas in their state and they will take all the cleaning supplies and scrub the headstones to get them back at their original state. I see your channel and I think what a great idea if there were organizations that would go in to these cemeteries that are so badly overgrown and clean the brush out of them and bring some of them back to life? So sad to see history just fade away. Thank you again for bringing those that have been lost in lives but not forgotten. ❤
Yes, I feel we were supposed to find James too. Unfortunately here we are not allowed touch anything without permission from the family, if they are gone it's extremely hard to find a relative. Then you need insurance too
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Wow that's a whole different world than ours regarding cemeteries. But understand because ppl could damage them it's bad enough some do it anyways with no respect for those that have passed
Sue, others mentioned this but there was a bricked up section on the back wall of the of that crypt. I too wondered if Mr Herbert could be sitting in there.
I didn't think of that Ben, others sad the same, I wonder
We all end up in a box sooner than later hopefully not to soon for you guys as I don't want one of my favourite RUclips channels to end anytime soon x
Norfolk you Martin, may we have many happy years ahead
When i see candles in or by a tombstone I like to think that descendents go there and leave a candle to memorialize them. Some places, like this vault i think only family have access to.
