Exploring Inside Creepy Mausoleum In woods

[@copious_amounts-unknown8897]

It's the family coat of arms, the sword and 3 padlocks = Dunn. The knights head on top is leaving me to believe that he was a Knights Templar . Excellent video, thank you for sharing!

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks for the information

[@dm607]

I mean no offence when I say the helmet is not related to the Templars. It goes back to the days when knights/warriors wore helmets of some sort in battles, this allowed anyone to add a helmet on their grant of arms. Magnificent find GV. Thank you. Deb of Oz. XXX

[@GraveVisitations]

@@dm607 I'm confused with all the information lol thanks Deb ❤️ this was one of my favourite finds

[@dm607]

@@GraveVisitations Lol GV. He wasn't a Templar Knight.

[@copious_amounts-unknown8897]

The helmet with hand & key was in fact a part of the coat of arms/family crest 👌. No offense taken, he was not a Templar, he was more of a banking tycoon 😁.

[@drshelkie4153]

Apparently, there WAS a Grand house nearby, Creighton, it was built by Dun, but he died before it was finished and never got to live there. According to "Architecture and the Afterlife" it's been demolished. THANKS GV! I Feel honored to have seen this beautiful place!

John Coltart Waters. His home was Craigton House Stirlingshire Scotland. It was demolished in 1940 and the interior was stripped of all wood, furnishings, ect. 11 bedrooms, billiard room,4 bathroom, 900 acres. The house was last occupied in 1939 and suffered dry rot.

[@michaelbedinger4121]

This mausoleum is totally awesome! It is in great condition. It looks like they moved a coffin out of there for some reason. Perhaps the family still looks after it. I was surprised that the door was not closed. Great video, thank you very much GV. Have a great week ahead. 😀

These wealthy people who built these mausoleums, crypts etc obviously never imagined that they would fall into such disrepair. That there would always be money and people to keep these places in good repair. Enough said.

I can not believe how absolutely amazing and beautiful this mausoleum is. I am very grateful for you to have shared it ❤️ 🙏 It's a dream come true to have discovered it and to get a glimpse inside. So happy it's still in great shape especially the roof. With the age of it when it was built to now it's incredible that it is in really good condition. The builder's of this as well as Mr.Dun's place of rest shows a lost art of that kind of talented craftsmanship❤😔 Thank you again .. Washington state USA

North Carolina was established by many Scottish people. There is a Dunn, NC. People with the surname of Dunn. My grandmother was a Hume, and we go back to King James V. And others. This place is awesome. NC, SC, and VA had lots of Scottish immigrants, and some were slaves for the Jacobite Rebellion. Some of my ancestors were, and some didn't make it.

[@hazel3564]

Amazing find GV. From the elaborate tomb to the size of the Manor they must have had many fortunes! I wonder if the family has died out? No one has been buried there in a long time.

[@janetslicer3637]

What a super excellent find Cathal. Just extravagantly beautiful inside and out. Lucky you to find such a place with a marvel inside! ♥️☘️ PS It is nice to see it has not been vandalized.

[@GraveVisitations]

Stunning looking isn't it. Something different and unique

[@sharonowen]

The size of that mausoleum it’s big enough to live in . The family must have been very important and also very wealthy.

[@rhondamc3642]

I'm thinking those floor vaults were for family members to be buried in, but maybe the family moved along somewhere else, and most weren't used at all.

[@spacecowgurl57]

Perfectly intact, William Dun must have been beloved. ❤ You are one blessed man to experience with your own eyes and touch of hand. I'm content. ❤

[@marierklassen7985]

That is amazing finding that deep in the forest. But what I find fascinating is yesterday I watched another youtube video of a person who made a video of this same place . Each person looks at different things when filming so it is always interesting. The person or persons did a great job of all the carvings and details in the Iron. It must be creepy walking through the forest finding this place. Thank you for sharing this awesome video 📹 take care travel safely from Marie in Northern British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

OK, you have William Dun, on the floor you have a crypt marked MOTHER, which is to the left of the memorial as you enter. Then on the right side, again on the floor, is another small crypt with writing along the bottom edge. You kept stepping over it to look at the elaborate crypt of Dun. I believe all of Dun's immediate family is buried in the tomb under the floor.

[@GraveVisitations]

The writing on the right side on floor is not names only a verse from Bible

[@jamielieberg7053]

Great Video realy nice and peaceful place thank for taking us their. That big sarcophagus for William Dun I think he is in the floor under that. If you look at the palmer crypt graceland cemetery chicago it open but has two sarcophagus on tope for him and his wife however they are barred underneath.

[@cherylh3091]

The ironworks are magnificent, but what struck me is how clean the white bottom part of the tomb is after 160 years. We have all seen in many of your videos how decrepit they get after that amount of time.

[@GraveVisitations]

Looks to me like someone is still coming to clean around

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

Wow! Great find! Thanks GV! I find it strange they had poultry netting in the yard, I understand putting it in the windows to keep birds out and keeping the inside clean, but the added netting to fence off the animals? I think someone is doing a great job keeping the place in good repair! The vents in the covers, they could be drains, in case water starts leaking through the roof, as it falls into empty spaces, and the used spaces have solid covers with no vents. I suspect each space has a dirt floor, rather than a stone floor, as that is how the open space looked.

[@kimberlybates6261]

Maybe some organizations may want to go and clean the place up. What a treasure .

[@ritafoster8625]

William Dun must of been really rich

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

He may have been, "Well to do", as they used to say, but the construction of the Mausoleum and the monument were common in the age he was living in, so it would not be as expensive to do then as it would today, as we don't do such construction today.

[@OvertheGarage-wv1wn]

Here is what Chat GPT had to say about padlocks in an ancient Scottish family crest: In heraldry, symbols like padlocks in a family crest or coat of arms can carry various meanings depending on the context and history of the family. Here are some possible interpretations: 1. Security and Protection: Symbol of Protection: Padlocks in a family crest might symbolize security, protection, and the safeguarding of family wealth or secrets. The padlock could represent the family's role as guardians or defenders of something valuable. Custodianship: It could also suggest that the family had a historical role in guarding something important, such as a castle, treasure, or even legal responsibilities. 2. Secrecy and Loyalty: Symbol of Secrecy: The padlock could represent secrecy, indicating that the family valued discretion or held positions that required confidentiality. Loyalty: It might also symbolize loyalty and trustworthiness, suggesting that the family could be relied upon to keep confidences. 3. Authority and Control: Symbol of Authority: A padlock might signify control and authority, representing the family's power to control access or maintain order. This could be linked to a position of legal or military
