Finding Moss Man | Old Cemetery Adventure

Exploring a cemetery I've heard about since I was a kid...

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Sorry about the shaky cam at the start of the video... my GoPro was having issues. It clears up.

[@deborahhamilton7873]

Your videos are so interesting I didn't notice any shaking.

Sidestep Adventures take a blank peace of paper with a pencil and trace the really difficult words on the stone, enjoying your video's.

[@jhingbangayan762]

You make me cry how you always clear the stones with gentleness.

Love ALL your adventures. Moss was my dad's nickname. His real name was William. He got the nickname when he was three or four. Somebody asked him to do something. Then they said he moved so slow, he would have moss growing on his back before he finished the task. The name lasted just another83 years or so. He was an Alabama native. Moss was The only name he would answer to, lol.

I agree, Wendy!💗

[@sharonstuebi8181]

I like this one. Some very old graves and still the family is attending it

[@kraigowaffles2110]

The children's graves were sad. So many of them.

[@billiejames7318]

this was great... loved the story of the .. moss man!!!

[@brendashelby5593]

I loved seeing this video and so glad someone keeps it taken care of.

[@conniepritchardreinhardt9978]

Love the story at the end of video. All my grandkids have old fashioned names.. From cemetery visits we did when my daughters were pregnant. Even my dogs have cemetery names. Like Princess Salome Juliar is my girl dogs name.. Solome juliar came from Mrs. Ringling.. Whos sons were in the circus business. I own their original home here in mc gregor Iowa.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I love finding old cemeteries and exploring them. This was a great one you found!

[@robertbunnell5932]

Someone is doing a really good job at keeping that cemetery up.

[@jaynebrown693]

In School, history was so boring to me. Now it is so interesting and important. I soak it up like a sponge. So with that said... I thank people like you who take the time out of you life to look for our history, videotape it and share with us. You gentleman have the perfect personalities for this, your kind, respectful and humble about your approach. I totally enjoy the journeys you take us on. You never disappoint even when you don’t find what you were looking for. Just being out in the woods, on a backroads or in an old cemeteries, you manage to teach and show us something! Thanks 👍

[@jimfraser9898]

I like that you narrate the names and dates. That is respectful. Thank you.

[@jenniferl2029]

It is a shame that we as a society can forget so much of our heritage.

[@lasvegashula]

[@lisaramsey4470]

You want to see some 1700 graves go visit the Palmetto Baptist cemetery in Palmetto , GA. It is not a forgotten church or cemetery.. Church is a old church, not building and very neat cemetery

[@ricj7517]

Hello Robert,Walt and Cody!..Love the videos

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Beautiful Cemetery so glad someone's taking care of it? And God bless him for it. Cuz that grass has been cut and I don't think of his lawnmower

[@patriziasunnygirl2657]

The cementary vids are my favorits, i love the history and all you tell us. Thanks for that. Greetz from the Netherlands

[@onefeather2]

Watch videos on High Gate Cemetery in London they have some very very old graves and different ones, it is a big cemetery.

[@denisehogarth5433]

I am sorry I paid such little attention when my grandmother would insist on taking us all to the cemetery during a visit. I remember that some of the stones were into the late 1700. Keep doing these videos if only for the history of life where it looks like none exists

[@crazyred725]

this was really cool to watch... I've been watching your videos for a while but this is the first time I saw names I recognized from my family tree. The Calhoun/Colquhouns are my kin through marriage

[@yarnhappykim9294]

I'm so glad to see that this cemetery is being taken care of

[@Figgatella]

I love your videos and I love your voice. Very calming and soothing. Great video!

[@imomediaimomedia6648]

Hey Walt ...Cody...Hey Robert! Good morning from Nashville. These graves are a sobering experience for sure but great to see them maintained.Especially the older ones such as these.These headstones were definitely hand chiseled. AMAZING Watch out for MOSSMAN !😬😬😊

[@wooogly6287]

You should carry a crayon and paper to do a rub when you can't read the tombstone. I really enjoy your channel. Cemeteries have always interested me.

[@Denise23451]

Wooogly oops, just suggested something similar to this ☺️ I hadn’t read your post yet. They did see your post, I hope they do🤞🏼

[@hankfacer7098]

With so many videos you have done and countless others on these wonderful old cemeteries, which you are saving forever on film (old term I know), it would be a shame if they were not being archived by the Authorities or Historical groups. You are wonderful modern historians, Thank You

[@joshuabaker1904]

Glad to see this cemetery is being maintained. Thanks for another great video guys.

[@cynthialinaweaver77]

So very interesting life was hard then I like the softness in your voice as you read the stones and tell there stories.❤️

[@chrisiiams4303]

What a beautiful resting place. Thank you for sharing a great video

[@susanhenshaw622]

Very well tended to which is nice to see. A lot of the ones you do videos aren’t which is so sad. Thanks Robert and friends.

[@douglasandrie9314]

Great video. Love them all...and you're a great story teller, as you saunter through the monuments. See you next time!

[@alisongriffin337]

So nice to see this cemetery is kept so nice. Loved this video, so clear. So glad that you don’t rush it and actually read the gravestones for us. Thank you xx

[@harolynallison7915]

your channel is the best on the net on this topic, well filmed and more than once your kind heart was on display, thanks for your respect to those that have passed. good work

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

[@dscobellusa]

Wow~ You sure did a great job of filming and narrating the stones. You are wonderful!

[@StormyNight777]

So good to see the cemetery kept up and mowed so well.

[@marylingo5966]

Hi 👋, lived in Columbus all my life, relatives buried all over this area. You and the guys with you are so very respectful and when you remove leaves, vines and read the names of those passed people I just love it, God bless you all, they who are dead are now remembered. By the way have you seen the Shiloh Cemetery up on the hill near the junction of Double Churches and Whitesfield Rds? I have Great great Grand parents laid to rest there......... people pass by all the time not knowing what lies a few steps up the hill......... there is .... .also 2 Churches across the Road with very interesting old cemeteries. This area was way, way out in the country. God Bless and Keep You 🙏🙏

[@marie2274]

I love your videos, I live in Colorado there is so many forgotten graves in the Mountains. Funny how all military headstones are all the same design

[@teresaallison6836]

I just came across u I love what u do very respectfully I will keep watching I'm in Greenville very close love this stuff wish I could do what u do love this so much

[@cadence4527]

You are a champion of history. I applaud you for your efforts to document these hidden locations, these hidden gems, especially your efforts to take care of the abandoned cemeteries. Thank you for placing flags on the graves of soldiers. I’m sure there are others out there who will band together with you to protect and preserve those places. I’d be one of them.

[@brendawhite9120]

Love walking threw old cemeteries, so interesting. Thanks again for taking me along🤗

[@melissadyche8325]

It’s nice to know that there are some people that travel and explore the old cemeteries and say their names and just maybe someone might be interested in looking for their ancestors and know as long as the families name is mentioned they aren’t forgotten

[@joanhamilton2651]

I love your adventures. Thanks for taking me along. I love old cemeteries

The Duncan Calhoun you read wrong his last name is actually CALAJHOUN. He was born in Scotland and came to America by way of an indentured servant.

You always have such interesting adventures. Those were really old. Great video with more family stories, luv it! Thank-you for sharing :)

[@karenlampson3555]

I love the passion you have for everything old. My question is does CODY talk? He seems very very shy. No one seems to talk with him. Is he one you guys brothers or cousins???? I guess I just wish he was included a little more. I am a mom and that is where this silly rant is coming from. Keep up you great work I love and will keep watching. Karen from OREGON

[@fannybuster]

Cody I believe is their Indian Guide,He finds the trails and will protect the explorers from hazards,and if need be, sit on any rattlesnake that happens be in the vicinity.

The quadrangle maps (7.5 minute series) from USGS have all the old cemeteries on them. The US government isn't issuing them any longer but they can still be found.

[@scottcrockett8270]

Enjoying catching up on your videos

[@navyspook79]

What's sad is to see these graves lost and forgotten. I'm guess that during those times they may have been buried on a plantation or church that has long been gone. Thank you for the respect that give to these graves.

[@poohbearsauntie]

I ADORE YOUR VIDEOS, SIR!!

[@cclyon]

That's a beautiful little cemetery. Surprising just how old some of those were.

[@TheDividog]

I am a Patterson from Mississippi- most likely related. Loved to see the history. If you get to D'Lo Mississippi- there are some wonderful graves there.

[@eringemini7091]

Aloha Robert & Crew! This is a cool old cemetary! It occured to me that another KZbinr; Jessie of Jessie's Histories & Mysteries may have also filmed there. The difference is that she films at night! (Paranormal videos)😊😱.

[@hoodoo_taco]

You and the guys keep getting better and better!! One day, you need to go up to Talbotton City Cemetery, also known as Oak Hill Cemetery in Talbotton GA. There are some old ones there. My family is buried there too. Maybe that will be the one we team up on.

[@sherladixon2842]

My dad was from Georgia and he used to take us to old cemeteries . You can learn a lot about the history in old cemetaries

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Yeah you sure can

Hey yall guys I really enjoyed this video take care love from NC

[@lynnebunning7273]

So many children passed to early. How heart breaking for the families, the poor mother thinking during pregnancy, will this child survive. I. Know the heartache I felt when I miscarried one child. But to loose 3 living children 😭😥😭 🇦🇺🐨👍❤️❤️

[@fastsetinthewest]

Sidestep, on the other side of the state in Screven County, I use to visit old cemeteries out in the middle of old plantation fields. A few farmers would get closer and closer until they farmed over them. Usually these farmers were renting the land. Look up 'List of Plantations in Georgia'. Eaglegards...

[@susanschultz1762]

love the use of the 2nd camera, it gives another perspective

Nice to see fences around the burial plots.

I hear that good fences make for good neighbors .lol

[@kayesdigginit1519]

It looks like the parents of the wife of the eldest Mr. Patterson brought her down to Georgia as the two oldest graves were with her maiden name 👍 I too feel such sadness when seeing the graves of children 😢 We have a cemetery in west Texas where the poor parents list their 3 young gauges within days of watch other. Saddest spot I've been to, when it comes to American locations 😞 I say this because I've visited Dachau in Germany 😢😢😢 while stationed there in the 80's.

[@jaifuller1976]

I know of an old cemetary in Long county Ga. I stumbled across while i was looking for my grandfather. You should check it out

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Sure! I’m always open to leads... here’s my email [e-mail]

[@robertbunnell5932]

Did you find your Grandfather?

[@cynthiadonahey9989]

The road may just be a lane, big enough to pull a cart, lots of times by hand. I suspect there was an older cemetery there. Some caskets were used solely for transport. Grass was introduced fairly late. I used to go on old cemetery hikes, starting when I went with my sitter, who provided meals for the men, a number of them doctors.

[@onefeather2]

Love old cemeteries.

[@jyi5506]

It is so good to see such old graves still taken such respectful care of. How many people have walked that ground?
