HUMAN SKELETON FOUND & The SAUSAGE ACID-VAT WIFE KILLER, at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, ILL

[@mjb469]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is fascinated by cemeteries. This is my tribe.

[@karengarner9839]

Both my daughter and I love stopping by old cemeteries when we take drives out of town. Sometimes we never make it to where we were headed, just exploring along the way.

[@Bella-gj6wc]

Welcome! lol

[@irishcountrygirl78]

Morbid curiosity, my husband thinks I'm crazy to be fascinated, but yet here l am, well, we might as well be prepared, none of us are getting out alive lol....

[@LindaBarham]

Yes, me too. My kids think I'm wierd. I especially love mausoleums and the pictures on gravestones. I live in Illinois about an hour away from Mt. Carmel where Ron often goes. My great, great grandparents are burried there along with some of their children, they had 14. But it is only marked with a huge monument with their last name Christopher. They and I are off 100% Italian descent. Their real last name was Christophero. Alot of the Italian immigrants shortened their last name when they arrived at Ellis Island to hide their Italian heritage because they would be looked down upon and ridiculed.

[@rlane63]

I think Faces of the Forgotten has rapidly acquired some of the highest production values and best human interest content on KZbin. Your technical skills are remarkable, given the relatively short time you've been uploading. Forty years ago it cost tens of thousands of dollars to do your 'swoop down to the mausoleum' camera shot. It was seem-less, from drone to ground! Thank you Ron, for your hard work, in depth research, professional filming and unmissable stories.

[@jayteadesigns]

Not only that but he has another very interesting channel about his bush piloting experiences, including the time a couple of years ago there vintage airplane (Grumman TBM Avenger N337VT) he was flying crashed over the White Mountains in AZ and he and his friend successfully bailed out by parachuting to the ground! (unfortunately, to this day they have been unable to find the beautiful, vintage aircraft) Even though he doesn't fly anymore there are so many of his interesting videos that are so beautiful and have such a calming effect to watch.

What a beautiful and unique cemetery. That demon was probably put into a paupers grave.....he don't deserve a nice resting place. But to your saying he didn't pay the price....I believe he did resting for hell. What a monster. But that first masaelem was too cool....must've been a midget. That second coffin looked to be missing a piece at the head. Great mystery to Adolph's sons resting place as to his wife's. Safe travels 💗🕊️

Yes Ron, looks like a the upper femur bone, and the other bone is just upright. It looked like a skull at first but the more I look at it, looks like the pelvic bone..Creepy..Great video, looking forward to part II 😍

Yes, the darker bone, or bones, in the back- that was a pelvic bone and leg -- looked like right?

Was definitely the top of a long bone with the sij, pelvis and other leg lying beneath it.

I will need to check it again, I missed what you seen. These old structures are offer grave robbed. There was one robbed not far from me with the woman's skeleton being thrown on the ground fairly recently that was on the news and I don't think police caught the suspects yet unfortunately. There was a discovery of two suspects doing a seperate case for satanic rituals recently also that was sad including from graves of soldiers.

I do believe you found your calling, you were meant to do this.💜🙂 I love seeing all those old gravestones and crypts, they are so interesting to see. Great work with the drone shots also. That looked like a human skeleton inside that casket. In the old section of a cemetery in the county where I live, there's a mausoleum that at one time had a young woman placed under glass inside it. The story is her father couldn't bear to put her in the ground so he had her placed under glass in that mausoleum. But many years ago someone broke in to it and broke the glass so now they just sit caskets in there of her family. I was told there is about 4 caskets in there now with a big lock keeping people out.

[@DeeTX-kk2xg]

This was so great. The creepy music made it even better with the drone. Will the cemetery tell you anything about the vault? You were just showing at the end.

Heat, cold and water all plays a part. The mausoleum isn't sealed. It probably leaks very badly. So, between getting baked during a Chicago summer, frozen during a Chicago winter, plus corrosion, it's just a matter of time. Plus pieces of the roof falling in on it and causing stress on the coffin.
