Something stinks inside this mausoleum

The amazing Victorian section of Utley Cemetery with some unusual hillside mausoleums #victorian #cemetery

[@pamelaanders5062]

I really do think you should report that smell, just in case. A recently deceased body could have been hidden in there to evade a criminal investigation.

[@jeffwarren6906]

You might be right Pamela . Maybe , seeing how the tomb is built into the hill , rodents were able to get in ? , or an injured or dieing dog/cat went in there to die ? Either way , it should be looked into , as there could very well be a dead body in there . Criminals are very innovative now-a-days . Enjoy your day Pamela

[@susanross1651]

I would report that bad smell to whoever is in charge of the cemetery, hopefully they would check it out, there shouldn’t be a putrefying smell coming from an old mausoleum. Someone might have vandalised an old lead coffin, sometimes the bodies aren’t fully decomposed if they were airtight & would start decomposing as soon as the air got in. Or as someone said, maybe a recent dead body that shouldn’t be there.

My hometown in Indiana had a cemetery across the street from my family home that had a sizable mausoleum. The stench of death became noticable at the begining of one spring, it was investigated and it turned out that over time the water freezing in cracks every winter finally weathered the structure enough for this to happen. Some maintenance and the smell cleared out in a couple days.

[@mt.shasta6097]

Those modern "hotel-style" mausoleums are notorious for their odor problems. Bodies decay. That's a fact. But this business of stowing the deceased above ground is a lose-lose proposition. Above ground in summer, in 100 degrees Fahrenheit? Bodies are going to swell and leak anyway, but why add insult to injury? Even our American embalming doesn't count for much in these ill-conceived "condos."

Years ago, in the community of Mount Rozelle (Alabama), the county was widening the State Road of Highway 99. The grader struck an unknown grave, and up came an iron coffin from the 1850s / 60s. It had a young woman in its confines, and the grader broke a corner of the coffin. I remember hearing old folks say (who saw and witnessed the incident, that the smell of death (after that long) was horrendous. The Fisk coffin of the 1800s would keep a body fresh for a very long time. It had a glass front for viewing the deceased, and could be filled with a gas or alcohol. The people who witnessed this said that the body was perfectly preserved. Once the coffin was broken, the decay was immediate. I remember that one person told me that it was a beautiful blonde girl, they could still see her features through the glass window, but the grader struck the bottom of the coffin, exposing her feet, her toes immediately were turning black, and death was in the air.

She was entombed in a wall mausoleum about 5 feet up from the ground along with her husband who was right next to her. It was terrible! Because I knew that it was her. She had been embalmed. What the heck? It made me sick to my stomach because I know that it would have pissed her off to know that she smelled of death! She paid alot if money for that special wall vault. I left that cemetery heartbroken for her. Something went wrong there. I went back a month later, it still had the smell of death but not as bad. So sad for her. 😢❤

You'd know if it was a deceased human causing the smell. It's so overpowering, its like nothing else you've ever experienced. Theres no easy way to describe the smell, because I've had a few different smells, but theyre always overpowering if someone has laid undiscovered for any time. It could be that an old lead lined coffin has been damaged and caused it to leak, or something like a tresspasser has gained entry and passed away. If in doubt, report it to environmental health, and they will investigate if you sound genuine enough.

It's possible that mausoleum was broken into to steal jewelry etc, the casket(s) was never repaired/replaced. A few of the doors to some of those mausoleums look like rough replacements.

[@RavensHammer00]

Depends on whether it's a crypt or a mausoleum. You don't find many crypts anymore, they were for the natural decomposition of a body, and a few months (or years) later, the bones were collected and stored, and the stone table was ready for the next body. It's how families would be buried together, with their bones in their own niche of a wall, usually within the crypt. Very common until the 19th century. In New Orleans, they have smaller but similar crypts, that once the body has been reduced to bones, the bones are pushed to the back of the narrow crypt box, where they fall into a chamber below the crypt slot, but the bones are just piled up inside on top of one another.

[@Etienne_H]

I did some quick research so the Butterfield's have descendants up to 2017. Maybe someone got laid to rest there recently? However it does seem abandoned with the windows missing. Also you were right there was a break-in in 2014. Which explains the damage. Wish there was proper photos of it inside. Also some of the children's children migrated to the USA.

There could easily be room for 6 to 8 coffins in the mausoleum you said smelt a lot. As you pointed out, it does seem odd that there would even be anything left in there to decay and smell. It is said that a body reduces to skeletal form after 30 to 40 years in a coffin. I wonder if rats or some other animals have got in there on a regular basis, and were not able to get out? I wonder if there is even anyone left alive who holds a key for these doors anymore? I spotted a tomb like this in a remote Scottish churchyard a few years ago. I think they came about as a way of thwarting Victorian grave robbers, back when grave robbing was a "thing".....

[@missmerrily4830]

You've probably covered all of this before, (I've only recently found your channel), but Victorian cemetery monuments are rich with symbolism. To the Victorians a good death was as important as a good life! It would be really interesting to have you describe some of the symbolism as you come across it, once in a while, and the individual meaning, such as with the draped urn you mentioned on top of one of the monuments. (The urn symbolises death and the drapery the separation between life and death). In any case this was a really informative walk around. A well kept cemetery (leaving aside the matter of that smell!) I'm not so sure that an atmosphere would be created by the sandwiching of the cemetery between a road and a railway line. I just think that some places do have distinctly uncomfortable atmospheres and strangely enough, the fact that it's a cemetery isn't always a prime cause of this. Some are very peaceful with lovely restful auras. We can learn so much history from taking time out to look at old headstones, monuments and family vaults. It's good that you enjoy not only exploring them, but taking us along when investigating these treasure houses of history.

[@bessiemann7468]

I love walking in a cemetery it's peaceful Tho it's a sad place. My home town has a huge cemetery that has some really old graves. There's one that looks like a mound an it has a metal gate to the grave

[@lisaamirant5595]

Thank you SOOO much for sharing this video!!! I’m absolutely in love with cemeteries. I live in America and we don’t have old one like you do so this will be my only way to explore your amazing places❤❤❤

[@attilladacook3405]

If you go up eastern states in the USA you will find many cemeteries with 1700’s dates and earlier on them. My family came over on the Mayflower so yes there are some very old graves that I know exist.

I live in Maine. We have much older cemeteries than Victorian ones in this country. It was common to have a family plot on your land, so they're everywhere. There are volunteers who take care of old abandoned family cemeteries in my area. I'm sure there are many lost to time also.

[@lisaamirant5595]

@@jennifercheney4353 Much older than 1700’s??? That’s amazing 🤩 I also volunteer a cemetery near me. It’s a historic little cemetery in Eugene Oregon, but it only goes back to the 1800’s and there sadly are very few of us volunteers. I’d love to visit Maine sometime and save myself from getting a passport. 🥰❤️❤️❤️

It's like Vincent Price's iconic line in Thriller, " the stench of 40 thousand years!"

D.G.W., as you were reading the names of the people buried in the cemetery, I wondered how long it had been since anyone had spoken those names -- If we could see the people buried there as they were in life, when they walked and rode about the town, wouldn't that be something? -- Also I'm curious about the type of stone used for the gravestones and crypts. Here where I live in Indiana in the almost-center of the continental U.S., we have some of the best limestone there is. The Empire State Building in New York is made with our limestone. What kind of stone was used for the gravestones and mausoleums at Utley. Granite was mentioned, what others are there?

[@amancalledkev]

There are three deaths: the first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.

[@jduran5560]

At around 12:19-12:22 in the video you can here some sort of distorted voice that seems to originate from the mausoleum. Overall great video I like the historical aspect of the old Victorian architecture.

[@barbarabean6293]

I think I hear the sound of the train braking and stopping, is that the sound you are hearing too or was there another sound?

[@Graysonthegrey1]

Nice name, got the same first& maiden initials😅

[@sarcasticoutpost4735]

No it was definitely a distinct girl singing definitely not the train. I’ve isolated the sound. There is a part in here where there’s a semi breaking or possibly a train but 1219 that is definitely a girl singing.

[@willwinl]

I can hear the train brakes squealing but no matter how hard I try, I cannot isolate a women singing at 12:19. I tried :)@@sarcasticoutpost4735

Glad you enjoyed it Ian, it's a bit of a hidden gem. Thank you for the £5 donation too

[@1Corinthians15_1-4]

@@deadgoodwalks The awful stench that you smelt were (demons), they smell like "septic tanks". Shouldn't it be obvious also that you were walking in a "freemason" graveyard where all the "wealthy" were buried? It's creepy and spooky with demon-infested graves. You are literally playing with fire because demons are not to be messed with, especially if you are not -born again - into God Almighty's family. This is a warning. If you have a soul, today is the day of your salvation because tomorrow is not promised.

[@Thethimblethumb]

The loud train spooked me because I had the volume up all the way on my phone 🤣

[@OldSchoolFireAlarms]

I love seeing these types of cemeteries. Each grave is unique and the headstones and mausoleums a work of art. No cookie cutter grave markers here. Thank you for posting.

[@1506pinkers]

An excellent video. Thanks. The Victorians certainly did death with great style. However, these monuments honouring the great and the good would have cost eye-watering amounts of money to perpetuate the memories of those interred inside. Yet who remembers them now? It always makes me think about the futility of human vanity. I suppose these monuments might be of use to genealogists and historians, but they inevitably fail as memorials to the individuals they commemorate.

[@user-qd7xh3bc1j]

Did you guys hear singing right around the 12:20 mark coming from the mausoleum? I had to play it over and over again.

[@No.1CatWhisperer]

Absolutely 💯 % yes, and not the same sound as the horns at 15:41. I too commented on that. Thank you for validating that for me

[@PassiveListener]

Definitely heard it!

[@nicolad8822]

[@angelagregory432]

Your kiwi pronunciation of Waiuku was spot on🤗 It is a small town in the North Island of NZ. I am a south islander and (shamefully) have not visited the town. Very nice to see your video which respectfully keeps the ‘long departed’ remembered. Many of the interred would not have family who remember them now.
