I hate to tell you this .....

damn so H.H holmes was a GD huh?

It’s very good quality water.

I find the state of this cemetery to be shameful for those resting there, and the families who have paid them to keep their loved ones headstones and landscape properly maintained, dead and fallen trees lying across the land? Why are the headstones all crammed together too? It looks like they have been moved for some odd reason? To squeeze more people into their grounds? What other reason is there? And why in this Jewish cemetery too? I would call whoever owns this and be strong in getting answers if my loved one were there for eternity!

Thanks for your wonderful video of Camp Douglas. You captured the feel and spirit of the cemetery with your respectful narration of the video. As an ancestor of my Confederate Hero who died at Rock Island Prison,Illinois I can appreciate this even more.

Your still alivr,

My Ancestor Minor Franklin died there. He was with 62nd infantry NC

Thank you. Another story in our history that needs telling.

Thank you for posting. My 3x's grandfather William Hooper is buried here. You made it easier for me to visit him someday hopefully soon.

I ran the trains for 23 seasons 1968 through 1990. Can answer most questions.

His tour was fantastic, and I will never forget it. RIP.

I used to work there as a teenager it was fun... the employers sucked but it was a great place for teens

IF EVERY BROTHER COULD HAVE A SISTER LIKE SARAH LINCOLN GRIGSBY THEY WOULD BE BLESSED!!!!WHEN SARAH WAS 11 YEARS OLD HER MOTHER PASSED AWAY AND SHE HAD TO UNDERTAKE ALL THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES UNTIL HER FATHER, THOMAS REMARRIED ON DECEMBER 2, 1819. SARAH HAD BROWN HAIR AHD GREY EYES, WAS VERY ATTRACTIVE AND WAS KIND TO EVERYONE. SHE IS BURIED WITH HER UNBORN SON, GEORGE CRADLED IN HER PRECIOUS ARMS. SARAH WAS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE DIED. SHE AND HER BROTHER, ABE LOVED EACH OTHER VERY MUCH.

She was SUCCEEDED, not PRECEEDED by Harold Washington. PRECEEDED would be BEFORE. Harold Washington DEFEATED her in the 1983 election.

Very cool

This ride is one of my most prominent memories of being a kid. Was such a unique ride being able to go into the parking lot and into tunnels. They really don't make em like the used to

now the state has posted a warning sign to "be vigilant, theft occuring here". yeah, like don't do anyghing about it just tell folks you're on your own against the badguys.

The Shining miniseries with Steven Weber and Rebecca DeMornay was filmed at this location. They had the same "doll house" in the show, in the basement.

I worked in Illinois for a year in 99'. Guy I was paired with heard I was a Bulls/Bears fan so took me to this Mansion and where the Bears practice. Tho Jordan lived here at time we couldn't get in. Lol guy said we go had to check meters in the place. Worked at the practice place tho

I bet its air conditioned in there

I Love Richard Pryor!

The man who inspired LED ZEPPELIN, CREAM and especially the ROLLING STONES(for where they got the name from one of his song)is definitely remembered.R.I.P,Muddy.

I hope to SEE more HOLY IMAGES THERE, like JESUS CHRIST, MARY, WHOLY ANGELS and SAINTS.

Basebal at the graveside?- God doesnt care so much about our HOBBIES or FALSE IDOLS -dont You think?

What a SILLY inscriptions: " Holy Cow'- Cow CANNOT be Holy.

It's spring water. I drank it as a kid.

Awesome vid

Thank you for this. My 2nd great grandfather was in the 64th Virginia and was captured in 1862 at Cumberland Gap. He spent the remainder of the war at Camp Douglas.

I read vandals stole the plaques. But it was probably metal scavengers. They steal manhole covers and even brass urns from cemeteries, they did ask security guards to stop the spraying of graffiti after they cleaned it off. The park is not open to vehicles, but they have bicycle rides there.

The bushes actually cover the name to avoid people finding the grave

I was in that building many years ago

Cool

This location is just where the radar was. Where the missile bunkers were was a little South of Fullerton, and a little East of Lombard Rd. Someone else has some footage of that area here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmKtc6eHl8-UgLs&lc=Ugh3NBfS-9_XYHgCoAEC.8AyQRQCogC39mw2OStqq0g If I recall correctly up until the mid/late 90's you could still get up on the radar tower because they hadn't closed off the spiral staircase yet.

They died for what they believed. OK. They lost their lives and the war. Poor innocents.

Should we all condemn white women for being that evil? Mr. Till died a horrible and excruciating pain.

I remember as a kid in the early 60's when I lived on LeMoyne St in Lombard, a block south of North Ave, as we played we'd occasionally see the Nike missiles out of their silos pointing upward. This was usually once a month and as a young lad, was the coolest thing I ever saw! WE'd ride our bikes through the baron lands that existed back then to get a closer look but never made it quite the whole way. Just one of many adventures as a kid back then!

I’m staying in this room right now, I keep hearing weird noises and it’s 4am and can’t sleep LOL. They did a lot of renovations to the bathroom though in comparison to the video

Where is his actual grave at?

Guy wasn't funny

I lived across the street from from des plaines Ave where this cemetery was my childhood. The big hill that said Forest Home Cemetery was my view out my front window. I spent countless nights sneaking in at night just to walk around. To this day I’m obsessed with the history of this, waldenheim and others. There is so much that has since been covered since I was a kid. I remember being able to look inside the back windows of these mausoleums and you could see coffins half open. At one time none of the mas. Had doors cuz back in the day, people stole em, cuz they were made of copper. I never imagined their would be videos on KZbin. I have so much photography and videos I never thought anyone else would be interested!

I loved the hand carts as you can see by my photo...

When I visited my Great Great Grandfather's site (Henry Hyde) I left a Confederate flag and half a bottle of Southern Comfort on the market near his name. ,Rest in Peace

All you every here about is how bad the Anderson POW camp was, well do your research because this was as bad or worse. Funny how they never mention it.

Love this man RIP

She died the year Illinois became a state 1818

Some people simply desire annomity in death.
