[@Merrittva]

And their Dad John Wayne Gacy LOL...Great Video!!!!!

[@AkitaSyn]

“Out with their dad.... *John Wayne Gacy.* ” 😂 I was not expecting that omg

[@deeds517]

Baltimore has so much beautiful history. It’s just sad that people keep Destroying it

[@ginatafferty3910]

Yea THOSE people

[@wbarger74]

I live close to Patterson. This city is in disrepair. Moving from here next week. Can not wait.

[@allewis4008]

Same as Detroit. Very rich and amazing around 1900, backbone of manufacturing in both World Wars, now a toilet for good for nothing tribals and drug addicts.

[@eviehammond9509]

Sadly, its not only in Baltimore that sort of thing is happening, its ALL over.

[@ddylla85]

In all honesty, the cemetery would most likely be in worse condition if the City of Baltimore owned/managed the property.

[@allewis4008]

I'm sure someone would love to volunteer to care for it, the graveyard is a beautiful piece of history.

[@LikaLaruku]

If this was in Seattle or Portland, it would be choke full of tents, garbage, needles, & the homeless.

[@EarlofBaltimore]

I had the same thoughts when watching the video. Baltimore as a municipality only maintains select history, there are plenty of ruined areas there. I would also think that in any given space in certain parts of town you wouldn't have to look far too find homeless folks and needles and trash are everywhere. Charm city, hon... The city that bleeds.

[@HardlineFeminists]

*Baltimore is a decaying shithole. I'm so glad I left!!*

[@Kiddman32]

Yeah, look what they've (not) done to maintain/update Pimlico.

[@mandoranger]

I LOVE when you laugh at your own jokes. You don't even need an audience. But I love your humor, Dan.

[@taralynn7712]

Awesome video. William Patterson was the patriarch of the family with shipping and banking interests. Robert was one of his sons and he himself also owned ships and founded several businesses including the Bank of Baltimore. William and his wife Dorcas had thirteen children. Their daughter Elizabeth was married to Jerome Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother. There is a Facebook page for a volunteer organization that does occasional clean-up days at the cemetery.

[@turdferguson7112]

Interesting! Thanks for info!

[@elizabethtidrick7694]

Would you happen to know the name of the group on Facebook?

[@kevinspilker6622]

Getting a Dan Bell notification is better than Christmas. Thanks Dan.

[@lisamartin3734]

LOL

[@HiImSpencerTate]

honestly, I love these types of videos. you wandering around random places and just talking over about them. I could listen to you talk all day long!

[@joshuaayres121]

The sadness and beauty of a cemetery. Love the video Dan

[@maiadroid]

I love when you tell the stories from those decaying places! Wishing you the best Dan, your work is amazing :)

[@lindanoble2803]

Welcome back Dan. Your urban exploring is what made me fall in love with your work.

[@Underseagalaxy]

Oftentimes boyscouts will make third eagle scout project maintaining old cemeteries, parks, wooded areas etc. It's possible that a scout will come out to do that maintaining.

[@spencerpalmieri6905]

Finally man. Been waiting for vids. Really can't wait for another ADR to come out. Hope all is well.

[@ericgilbert1087]

"Oh, la di dah, just found some footage from inside a locked cemetery, no big deal" WTF, DAN, THAT'S HOW CREEPYPASTAS START.

[@christinem9830]

Eric Gilbert LOOOL you ain’t wrong

[@ddylla85]

That '1793' was amazing!

[@dianajemison105]

So many great band names in this video. Decade of Decay, Dad and His Twinks, etc. 😂😂😂 Love you Dan! Thanks for the video.

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

Your videos are so interesting, and the way you narrate them is great. We don't have anything as old as 1793 here in Nevada. Thank you!!!

[@rickperry3165]

Glad to see another video Dan!! Great job as always my friend!!

[@jeffb6348]

Great stuff Dan, good job as always! Thx for taking time to make and share. Be careful out there...😎

[@punkizm]

Great video as always! Love when you go into your little giggle fits, always sends me into one lol

[@zinky240]

I am so happy I found this channel. I have lived in Maryland very near Baltimore City most my life. I now work in Pest Control and make regular trips into the city. It's nice to see someone exploring the history of some of the places I drive past during my work week.

[@EllicottCity1]

Being born & raised in Balto. City (Lauraville- NE) uploads with history like this~ always appreciated😊

[@fcgalaxy8151]

Nice video Dan with your soothing voice ,take care 😊

[@MonyTesoro]

[@saleemah2438]

Soooooooo glad for another video ❤️ thank you!

[@Cre80s]

Thank you, Dan. Travel safe and keep doin' your thing, your way! 😎

[@allysonhill4195]

[@Cre80s]

TJ! 😎 We got good taste in 'tubers, eh? 👍

[@denisegraeff8644]

Great work, as always, Dan

[@phedingsfield]

Glad to see you back on KZbin

[@RicArmstrong]

I grew up in Baltimore and there's a lot of mysterious things about that city. Its a unique place for sure.

[@RealWhatamelon]

When will you release another Dead Mall video on your main channel? It's been forever :)

[@danw4237]

I just get my dead mall fix from Ace's Adventures now.

[@theparanormalfiles]

Killing it Dan!!!

[@Lurker1979]

I wonder if the Patterson estate still has money to keep it maintain it? Only thing I could think of that would keep it in some form of repair.

[@stefannyberg3203]

Can it be living relatives to the Patterssons that are the current caretakers of the cemetery? Another great video, thanks Dan!

[@aprilledoux8604]

I do like footage of being able to hear things that are going on when your getting coverage. Your one of my favorites.

[@krb96]

Thank u for the new video Dan loveya

[@feloniousbutterfly]

Love your work, Dan. Thank you.

[@alinaoconnor3898]

Wonderful video as usual Dan :)

[@1M005E1]

Somebody has to be paying "property taxes" on the cemetery.

[@eviehammond9509]

God knows something like paying taxes would NEVER go overlooked!!🤣The buildings & environments may fall into disrepair or be abandoned, but someone will always be available to charge & collect the property taxes on them!!😂

[@billybareblu]

Well they offered the property to the city and the city refused it, so even if the taxes weren't paid, they obviously didn't want to seize it. Then they'\d be responsible for it.

[@Dsdcain]

Really cool to get these little snippets of video. Thanks.

[@ADreamingTraveler]

Are there sirens always going off in Baltimore? I've been there a few times but mainly at touristy attractions lol. Also I hope you're doing well Dan. And I hope you're moderating the alcohol. Take care

[@nannerz1994]

Love it! Can't wait for more!

[@tracepatterson9414]

So crazy I found this!! That cemetery is home to my great, great, etc. grandfathers! Thanks for documenting

[@julianacromey7151]

Nice vid Dan🙂👍 I have a question tho... is that cemetery just for certain ppl or just the Patterson family members... or can anyone be buried there (with permission or... ?) Also... is anyone still being buried there? Lol...I know, I know dumb questions, but I am legitimately curious. 😁 have a great day.😉

[@davevultur5680]

"You've always been the caretaker..." -Mr. Grady

[@nonconnahordeath]

reminds me of The Lamar, a beautiful old theater in Memphis thats been abandoned forever.

[@ijazmailbox7082]

I love this, Dan. Thank you

[@Idelia412]

Dan glad to see that you are doing videos of historical things instead of dirty motels. Thank You! Are you planning on doing more of these types of videos? Are you going to be doing any more Dead Malls?

[@catwoman472]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@patsycav]

Has anyone every heard of or been to Mickey and Sadie's bar? It was at 100 Albemarle St. I haven't been able to locate them online. The last time I was there was when my dad passed away in the hospital near Johns Hopkins University hospital. Mickey and Sadie were friends of his and took care of the funeral arrangements for me, as I lived in New Jersey. I had never met them in person, but my dad talked about them a lot and had lived above the bar while he was in the Merchant Marines. He passed away over fifty years ago, in 1967. I hope someone remembers my dad. His name was Jeff Davis.

[@dennismitchell5414]

Excellent video Dan , I like old cemeteries , there's just something about them. A few years ago I went into the cemetery where Edgar Allan Poe is buried and while being the only visitor there I definitely did not feel like I was alone. I remember going to the Hippodrome in 1966 to see " Tbe Blue Max " and " The Battle of the Bulge " War Movies. Thanks for all the great videos., keep up the good work and please be safe.

[@texlahomagirl9809]

Just made my weekend! 👊😊❤️

[@tinastanbaugh]

I miss you Dan!

[@nickmetzger3191]

Love your vids Dan! Howdy from Dallas! 🤠

[@Jawwaad1111]

I lived in B More my whole life and I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t realize there was so much abandoned history here. Thanks for the video

[@VidGirl88]

Dan Bell and Proper People= best urbex channels on KZbin

[@writerwarriorqueen]

**HOORAY!! THAT ADRENALIN BOOST I GET UPON RECEIVING A NEW NOTIFICATION FROM YOUR CHANNEL: PRICELESS!! OOOH CEMETERIES ARE RIGHT UP MY ALLEY** What a tremendous way to kick off my weekend. Sooo glad you're safe & posting again. Nice to hear your voice. Hope you have a wickedly wonderful weekend :0)

[@colleenbeach9466]

Awesome video Dan. My dad saw movies here as a kid

[@ladylakemusic5958]

Hi Dan! Loved this! I know the Apollo but did not know the cemetery. Going to look it up on Google maps. I'd like to see it when I come up this fall!! As always, fascinating work. Cindy

[@yes24__]

i am obsessed with this kinda content!

[@destroyadoll2898]

This is why Baltimore is my *favorite city*...and why people call me *crazy*,for thinking that.

[@chelseacarpino4722]

Where have you been? I’ve missed your videos, especially ADR.

[@michellemesher6101]

So Kool and I'm doing my ancestry again and the Patterson's that your talking about I think are in my family tree. Love the video, especially historical sites.

[@mats7492]

people in baltimore seem to do exactly the oppsite of what the sagn says

[@jodywoodruff6473]

Awesome video 😊👍

[@davinamiller1291]

I've lived there all my life was the first to go to that school in the back ground and always wondered what it was thank you !!

[@aproperlady1004]

I think it's wonderful that the cemetery is still left unbothered by the city all these years later! I hope it stays there for many years to come. I may have to drop by this place, I'm relatively close to here.

[@chrislongbeard]

Always wondered what the Apollo was like inside. I happened upon it years ago while visiting my sister. Who by the way has performed at the Hippodrome, which yes is an awesome venue.

[@lorispain1]

This is fascinating!

[@evanredacted7977]

All those people exploring the theater is like the Infinity War of urbex

[@centuryrox]

Dan, I'm not sure when the Apollo Theater building was finally abandoned, but if you look at the photo from Google Street Map, the glass doors in the front were still intact as of the date on the picture, which was October 2014. So it's a fair guess that it was being used up to or very close to that date.

[@gabriellaF95]

Love you Dan and would love to start seeing videos on your other channel

[@susanquattlebaum3410]

This made my day 😀

[@ohla300]

Is this family whom "The Patterson Park" is named after? So cool. I didn't know Bmore had an Apolo theater too. It must wasn't as popular as the NYC one. This is why I love your channel cuz I live in MD and there is so much history I've yet to learn.

[@nickmad887]

Thanks Dan

[@asd36f]

The religious sign on the back wall of the Apollo still looks brand new!

[@TonisWorld07]

I enjoyed the video Dan, how about a tour and history chat video about the druid park cemetery in druid hill park and the parks history about the Druid Family.

[@saleemah2438]

I would love that and maybe the review of the murder of the lady in the lake!

[@TonisWorld07]

Salimah yesssss I was thinking about that too she swam over to the lake and then died on the fountain...

[@saleemah2438]

@@TonisWorld07 I remember it was told that she went to a James brown concert and that she was a bar maid or something but it was really strange

[@TonisWorld07]

Salimah my daddy use to tell me the story all the time almost every time we rode past it. She left behind a child as well.

[@destroyadoll2898]

*YES THIS* ^^

[@celialovett5880]

That one tree looked like it comes to life at night to reach down with it's limbs to pluck your eyes out.

[@amplifymysound]

It's about damn time Dan! Lol cant wait for the dead mall tho

[@stews9]

They have elevated cemeteries like this all over Europe, their retaining walls usually beside sidewalks in cities. Caretaker is likely private, perhaps hired by lawyers dealing with the estate. Established in 1793; that's nicely old, for Murka. It's eerie inside the place, claustrophobic and secluded. It'd be a great place to shoot a horror movie. Or do a ghost hunt, although current wisdom is ghosts don't hang around cemeteries, and who could blame 'em? Very cool place.

[@nicoleautumnsteffen3417]

I love old cemeteries... So neat

[@aswanson42]

The cemetery is a perfect setting for a ghost story. Well, both places are.

[@reggiegreene3666]

I've been in that cemetery hundreds of times. My family lived on MONPELUER STREET FRIEND THE LATE 1050s-EARLY 2000s. I PLAYED IN THERE AFTER CLIMBING OVER THE METAL DOOR WITH SPINES ON TOP WENT IN THRU THE BASKETBALL SIDE. THAT DOOR HAS NEVER BEEN LEFT OPEN. U JUST HAPPENED 3 B THERE WHEN IT WAS LEFT. UR LATE. THIS STORY WAS TOLD MABY YEARS AGO . FROM MR PATTERSON TO THE BABIES GRAVE THAT IS IB THERE. AGAIN AN OUTSIDER TRYING 3 TELL THE STORY OF A WELL KNOWN FAMILY IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. THE GATE WAS JUST LEFT OPEN. MY FAMILY STILL IS IN THE AREA AND WE STILL HAVE NEVER FOUND THE DOOR OPEN. WHAT PERFECT TIMING

[@terencehayes4181]

great video

[@TownieGirl1974]

I'm a simple woman. A see that Dan Bell has uploaded a new video, I watch.

[@BennyLlama39]

Same here... gender aside. 😀

[@ginatafferty3910]

Stop trying to be unique

[@TheFinalFantasy1]

I have been a fan of Dan's since the beginning. It's sad to see most of his videos are behind a pay wall now.

[@clairecarton7268]

This place is so weird. I went there and it was locked up. Found some interesting very old glass and porcelain in the ground outside, I read that the surrounding area was a dump for years? WHO THE HECK IS CARING FOR IT. Also Dan, please do a piece of St Peter’s Apostle cemetery in west Baltimore! Very weird and creepy place.

[@MzSweetz01]

I remember going to the Apollo theater when i was a kid wow so sad to see it just go to waste smh

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

Hey Dan🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️ How is everything?

[@skmc6915]

1793 not long after Revolutionary War ended. Just touching something that old blows my mind. Everyone who was alive that year has been dead for over 115 years at the very least.

[@dallashomemovies]

You hanging with the proper people 👍

[@prestonuber7270]

whats the song at the beginning ?

[@jusslovely149]

I miss Will...what happened to him? Did he get too old for you??

[@justice4all72]

There is definitely more to that Patterson cemetery. Keep following up on it, the layout is freaky.

[@ohmeowzer1]

Thank you very nice

[@lesleydandelion3663]

Been to both locations! Love my hometown

[@lesleydandelion3663]

New sub btw love all the local stuff

[@tiffanieqaisar4632]

Just ❤ this video! I have had a terrible night having lost my credit card and house keys... so sad and my husband's gonna eat me, no doubt! Yet in spite of feeling like I've lost my brain functioning, watching this video takes my mind off it all. Thank you, Dan!!!
