True story. My friend in HS lived about 5 blocks from the Gemini. 40 years ago, we cut class every day and walked by the place hundreds of times. A few years ago, I saw a picture of it in a story and I got chills. Then went to Google Maps and realized it was the place we walked by all the time. THEN remembered why I got the chills. I got chills 40 years ago walking by the place. I remember my friend saying "let's go in there for a drink" and me saying "nah man, that place spooks me out for some reason."

Yes most respect for your comment 👏 🙌

[@jamescon55]

Tragically and PROBABLY speakin at the SAME time? It WOULD BE the BEST thing INDEED , considered WHAT ALL truely happened behind those walls....And YET? HOW friggin IRONIC IS IT? That the CHURCH depicted HERE (from just a couple years ago) NTM, HOW MANY OTHER "CHURCHES" that the place HAS BEEN over the PAST SEVERAL YEARS, adds to THAT fact that it is "NOW, a CHURCH"???....😬.....Yeah, SORRY but......There AIN'T a church nowhere HOLYIER then though, to erase ALL the horrible morbid stuff that HAPPENED, INSIDE THOSE WALLS!!!..........Have to tear it ALL down and, NOT erect ANYTHING via home/ even BUSINESS, OVER it!......like someone stated earlier? A memorial IF anything.........

[@TheUsualSuspectz]

Well, now it's a church, so I believe if there was any souls supposedly stuck in purgatory they are raised into heaven if they accepted Jesus Christ. Regarding Harvey Idk because he was a Jew but idk if he converted to Catholicism.

[@jamescon55]

@extradimensional8818 It FINALLY, and REALLY, "dawned on me" the other day, (reading more responses to this post etc.) on WHY "they/everyone" called that dude that lived in that rear apartment, "DRACULA"...😬 It WASN'T just cuz the guy ALSO "HAD the look" but rather cuz?...THAT dude LIVED and SLEPT, WHERE ALL THEM "DEFINITE 100 PLUS" murders HAPPENED! ( 200 according to THE EXPERTS, right?) But, yeah! At LEAST, 100 and some DOCUMENTED "butcherings" THAT DEFINITELY HAPPENED!..... But yeah man! THAT'S WHY THEY CALLED him DRACULA!.... It's DEFINITELY LIKE ..🤔 HOW FAR REMOVED FROM HAVING ANY "inner SOUL etc " to be ABLE, to NOT ONLY have ALL THAT stuff happened in that one place, BUT? To be SUCH A sociopath to just "NOT have ANY of SUCH horrible stuff happened in SUCHA place, but to justa KEEP ON LIVING/SLEEPING there, like...."NOooooo problem" 🥴........ Crazeee stuff indeed!😬

One time Demeo and his crew were playing cards and drinking out the back of the lounge. Demeo suddenly decided to stop what they were doing and they without provocation took an innocent man, a man of Peurto Rican origon I believe, who was having a drink in the bar minding his own business. They took him and murdered him and chopped him up. And Demeo's excuse was that he wanted to keep his men sharp, a bit of practice so to speak. He was one sick evil S.O.A.B.

[@josephsharp5678]

Some sick shit alright. Did you hear the story from Sammy the Bull??

[@goolag6536]

I was blasted one day, and i did a little tour of the place myself. Its on my channel. I saw a video a couple years ago where this guy interviewed the new owners the Church people and asked them if they knew the history of the place which they had no idea. But they said that if anywhere needed Gods presence its not a coincidence that the Gemini wound up turning into a Baptist Church. They aren't Catholics, but I think they are Baptist. They just worship Jesus and God in a different way.

[@GVGames1986]

I think a lot of the victims that walked into the bar didn't have any or enough details on where they were and who they were dealing with inside! If you knew you'd run a mile. Even a mobster, I'd go on the lam and let them chase me than go somewhere like that.

[@stoshbrodus21479]

It’s so insane to wrap my brain around the shit these guys got away with?!, I can’t understand how these guys could just go home and cut the Bday cake with a smile on their face right after cuttin a person up like nothin… that’s the difference between maniacs n reg people I guess.

Great Job Jimmy! Loved the tour! I don't think those were the original doors because on the pictures of the original it has a single door where these are double. But they definitely look old enough to be original doors. Great stuff. Big supporter and fan of all your content. Be safe God Bless and take care!

[@GVGames1986]

This place is low hanging fruit for any paranormal investigators. As long as the church let's you take a look round when it's shut for services.

[@eljensen671]

When I visited a concentration camp in Poland there was a feeling that something really horrible happened there. Does the Gemini have that feeling?

[@jaimejimenez4223]

Can you please tell me in rational terms the difference between this and a concentration camp? Both were factories of death where thousands of people came to die. This building needs to literally be burned and destroyed and never built on top of the property again

Nobody ever makes it clear if the apartment was 2086 or 2084. Some say 2084 and others say 2086? But the bathroom window above 2086 is the same as the inside photos of the apartment and it's different then any other window on the building.

Those are not the original doors. It was one door at the time with a diamond window like the ones on the side of the building. The church put the double doors in probably because of city codes for emergency exits because of max capacities inside the church
