Dalen, it’s people like you that can unite the races and bring peace, respect and love to all people. God bless you. ❤️🙏

[@DalenLSpratt]

Wow. That just meant the world to me!

[@ccross5448]

I agree! you are a wonderful person and i also give you respect for what you’re doing for the departed and us still living are your shifters.

[@lynnlawrence1979]

@@DalenLSpratt You Dalen, man are a natural. I recently became a shifter fan of yours because what you bring to the table is educational and in my heart i sense is real. (my time is getting short) never mind that. I have watched others doing what you do and honestly.... i would have to be desperate to open up to them. other wise they get on my nerve. Just let this be said that, some people resting need more time to get to know you. You are a good heart and soul Dalen keep up the good work.... My will, my soul, my spirit has always been STRONG in the living.... i suspect it will be the same when i pass. When im at rest i will tell you everything you want to know!! Or Maybe, i will be your new guardian angel or someone else's, i would love a job like that.

[@monicakuykendall]

I am a huge fan of the Ghost Brothers. When Destination Fear moved to Project Fear on KZbin, I started trying to find more paranormal shows and was so happy to find that you have a channel. You are so kind and compassionate to all the spirits and with the people you help out or just get the rundown on a place. There are not many paranormal investigators like y'all and that is sad. Hope yall stay safe and healthy. Much love from Houston

[@LauraHarperauthor]

Such a disrespectful way to treat those peoples graves. I’m glad they’ve built such a beautiful memorial now.

[@davidroberson8030]

Yeah but the people that were in those graves aren't happy.???

[@sharlynnmcneely9662]

Everyone has there own opinion on the after life I know I would love to have the chance to here my mother voice one more time she passed away in July of last year

[@Shalynne]

I confess ... while the cemetery session was beautiful, I really wanted to hear from any ancestors who may remain at the Freedmen's Memorial. Get their stories, help them fly away free (if they wish). Dalen, it is NOWHERE NEAR your fault that the offensive freeway's noise prevented their voices from being heard. It's just that they deserve more, even if that's not possible (at this time).

[@tawniafitch7559]

I am so glad to hear you ask questions that might actually give any indications of why people stay after death and why, a lot of investigators just ask the same old questions over and over. I came up on your channel while flipping thru U-tube, I always do catch The Ghost Brother's, it's refreshing to see all of y'all interact with each other, never boring

[@misty_g]

Now that I'm a part of the Graveyard Shift, I notice as I drive around my town (Ark-La-Tex), how many cemeteries are close to busy roads!🤦🏼‍♀️😔

[@Mrs.Fezziwig]

I actually learnt about this graveyard in my archaeology degree! It was in 'Ethics and Ethnicity: Why are people of colour disproportionately discriminated against in Archaeology?' It was to look at how different the practices in the UK and US are when it comes to ethnicity. If archaeology is likely to disturb graves or artefacts from minority communities, we are required by law to consult with religious and other representative before we put even a peg in the ground to mark out.

[@Elena-mn8gu]

I love that you are talking about these desecrations😢! How can anyone do something like that?!?! It doesn't matter whether you are black or white, that is horrible... I love those statutes. Such a beautiful representation. If not for you we won't even know that it existed!❤❤❤

[@julieyoung3815]

The sadest part is they were free slaves . It should have been protected by historical laws or historical groups . Such a important part of history. I can't believe Dallas did this .

[@barbararoberts6989]

I’m so disgusted that a freeway has been built through the cemetery! That’s s so disrespectful to the people who struggled all their lives to be free,and to build there like that is unforgivable. We love ya Dalen

Wow that memorial brought me to tears! Thank you for sharing it with us. So sad all those beautiful souls deserved so much better. Great video as always ❤🥰

[@elizabethadams4921]

It’s disgusting the way they have treated these poor people, there are times when I feel so ashamed to be white. My love and respects to all those people who’s graves were destroyed by idiots. Glad they now lie in such beautiful surroundings but sad that we don’t know their names 💔😢

We cannot undo the past but we can give respect where it is due. Sometimes correct recognition doesn't come until later, unfortunately. The memorial is similar to those in the concentration camps in Europe. Sad but neccessary, to remember how dark human nature can be.

Okay, first things first. Happy holiday weekend #graveyardshift #shifters and Dalen 🤗👻👍 Dalen, I have to say a huge thank you for sharing this Freedmans memorial area. I honestly cried through the entire thing because I felt so much sadness for the loss of life and the painful days that were a part of each life. I'll never forget this. As for the cemetery, I think sometimes, because it's filled with souls from hundreds of years ago, they're all excited to talk and end up talking over each other. The spirit that said 3 was definitely impressive 👏 I imagine it's very exciting for them to talk to a living person again. #graveyardshift #shifters #clockingin #clockingout 😄

[@jerzeygirl1280]

Good morning shifters! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Dalen, if you felt something touch your hand in the crypt I would’ve jumped out of my seat! 😂 Thank you for doing these. I love how you get a different feeling at each cemetery. Happy to be a coworker ❤

Love watching the graveyard shift. ❤ from England xx

[@MissShelly]

When you asked for advice in the Jewish part of the cemetery & they said "learn, gain knowledge, more wisdom" I knew you were really talking to the spirits there at that point because that is always the answer from the living in the Jewish community too. 😂😂😂 Reminded me of when I asked my own grandparents what advice they had for me to live a good life... they told me "Never stop learning ,because knowledge leads to understanding which is the remedy to all fear & hate." They gave you very Jewish advice. ❤

sad the government had to destroy people's resting place.... shame on them. The memorial is beautiful. the ghost box session was interesting. they chain the doors to prevent bodies being stolen and the building vandalized.

[@sarahk9197]

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! Hope all fellow Graveyard Shifters have a great weekend! I clocked in! Both are beautiful cemeteries. When you filmed the inside of the mausoleum where the glass was removed, I was thinking uhoh if the phone would have fallen in there.. I thought after you asked about any advice at 15:11 I heard "fun". Wow when it said 3 to your question!!! That's amazing! I thought after you asked but is it not fun on the other side? I thought I heard "family" at 17:58 I was thinking maybe misses family. Another great video like always!

[@maggiegonzalez4855]

I lived in Dallas and asked some of my friends who lived close to this Freedmen's cemetery when the city placed a park there with swings ; why I never saw kids playing there? Response, Our grandparents told us it was disrespectful because some ancestors were buried there. The city of Dallas just paved over the graves to expand the highway. Later, they brought anthropologists to mark and then remove some bones to another location. After knowing this, I held more respect to that area whenever I went by. Thank you, Dalen, for showing your respect to those buried in these cemeteries.

[@rincole8260]

Beautiful entrance to the freedman cemetery. Love and thought was at least shown after such atrocious actions of building through it. Thanks Dalen love the history and your all your efforts to enlighten us to the stories of past lives.

Towards the end when you said your name again and after someone said "hi," I also thought I heard "friend." 😊 I also thought I heard "good night."

[@simplydesigns7230]

Agree. There were many that would probably be glad to communicate and for a BlackMan in the year 2023, would be fascinating for them. I would want to know their journey and how they watch over their offspring generations til now. Can we connect with ancestors not knowing our roots?

[@tiffanylorine_]

But if you’re a free spirit that’s not bound by the human body then what are they bound by I always wondered about that.

[@DalenLSpratt]

Great question!

[@simplydesigns7230]

Exactly, because obviously these Spirits are . It is interesting to hear NDE stories, Dalen could learn a lot and maybe fill in the empty voids. For instance the “Darkness” maybe it is the dark void that souls are on, maybe After death they did not move on to the other realms in the journey, also what happened to their Spirit guides and Guardian Angels? Just a thought.

[@simplydesigns7230]

@@DalenLSpratt I am watch your videos and it is great you are getting some responses. I would hope you will find the connection between the departed souls that leave the body, how do they become spirits earthbound? If they are on the darkness, how come they are not in the light? Also if you read my other comment those thoughts should be considered as well. Much love, keep up the good work! And think about protective amulets and gem stones to wear on your person. Also saying the spirits are not to come with you or in you. When I watch ghost hunting paranormal investigators, I can say that being serious about Spiritual protection should be taken into account. You seem like a good person, which is probably working in your favor. Your guides Mary Ellen and Rosemary are there for a reason and you should get on time with them and you’re higher self. Peace be into you❤, have a blessed day!
