She Didn't Want To Be Buried Alive | Coffin Attached To Bell And Chain

Today We are in Mount Jerome cemetery Dublin. A superb Victorian Cemetery With Vaults and monuments Dedicated To The Rich and Famous.
Mount Jerome Cemetery & Crematorium (Irish: Reilig Chnocán Iaróm) is situated in Harold's Cross on the south side of Dublin, Ireland. Since its foundation in 1836, it has witnessed over 300,000 burials. Originally an exclusively Protestant cemetery, Roman Catholics have also been buried there since the 1920s.
The name of the cemetery comes from an estate established there by the Reverend Stephen Jerome, who in 1639 was vicar of St. Kevin's Parish. At that time, Harold's Cross was part of St. Kevin's Parish. In the latter half of the 17th century, the land passed into the ownership of the Earl of Meath, who in turn leased plots to prominent Dublin families. A house, Mount Jerome House, was constructed in one of these plots, and leased to John Keogh. In 1834, after an aborted attempt to set up a cemetery in the Phoenix Park, the General Cemetery Company of Dublin bought the Mount Jerome property, "for establishing a general cemetery in the neighbourhood of the city of Dublin".
The first official burial happened on the 19th of September 1836. The buried deceased were the infant twins of Matthew Pollock.
The cemetery initially started with a landmass of 26 acres and grew to a size of 48 acres in 1874.
In 1984, burial numbers were falling, thus the Cemetery was losing revenue and began to deteriorate. A crematorium was needed to regain revenue and deal with plant overgrowth on the estate.
The Funerary Chapel in the cemetery was the first Puginian Gothic church in Dublin. It was designed by William Atkins.
In 2000, Mount Jerome Cemetery established its own crematorium on the site.

WOW...What a powerhouse of an episode, thanks for bringing us along! I wish the local stone masonry school would volunteer its students to tuck point some of these structures to ensure their continued well-being.

As part of a Historical Commission, we have been spraying and cleaning graves. D2 a biological cleans the stone. Some we gently remove lichen. I keep looking and trying to decide about cleaning. We are working to restore this cemetery to remember the founding father, and mother s of our community

[@marielailer4237]

Are they still burying in the area?

Tiny houses are the big thing in New Zealand at the moment…some of those vaults would be around the same size. Imagine the cost of building one of those in todays times. Do you think some of those huge monuments were erected to show that the family had wealth…kind of a prestige type of thing. Appreciate you showing us around. Take care.

[@seacampal1425]

8:17 With the sun shining directly on the bones, the heat is higher and the humidity lower. This crypt must not give off strong odors despite appearances and the skeleton seems very well preserved and dry. The ideal would be to replace the bones in an ossuary so as not to expose them to the public in this ostentatious and disrespectful way.

[@fionagreenwood3231]

Flaming heck bit spooky xxxx

[@Nacho-Mamma]

There used to be a custom where a family would tie a string to the hand of a loved one before they were buried. The strip was attached to a bell beside the grave in case the loved one hadn't actually died, but buried alive. Every night, villagers would take turns keeping watch over the graveyard all night, just in case a bell would ring. That is where the term "Graveyard Shift" came from. And now, the rest of the story. The bells weren't there to alert someone to rescue the buried. They were so superstitious, the ringing bell was warning that the person buried WAS A VAMPIRE, and it needed to be destroyed. People were just so stupid back then!

[@GraveVisitations]

Saved by the bell is where the term came from 🔔

[@Nacho-Mamma]

@@GraveVisitations Well, not really. Because, if by chance that bell did ring, it was dug up and they beheaded the person in the coffin. Because, they believed vampires were real, and that person was a vampire. So, nobody was ever saved by that bell.

[@GraveVisitations]

@@Nacho-Mamma you don't get dug up in a vault. It's not under soil. Plus not everyone was classed as vampires. That's just an urban legend

[@kathleenlanglinais1072]

Just curious, when there are skeletal remains in these vaults, is there a stench or odor? Your videos are so interesting and informative!

[@GraveVisitations]

Hi Kathleen didn't get any smell from this one

[@derek763]

wonder would they still have keys for all the old doors

[@GraveVisitations]

Good question Derek. I'd imagine all the family members are deceased now. They would have held the key

[@johnblythe6453]

It was common especially in Victorian days to have a bell or some sort of contact with the diseased as not a lot was known about comatose conditions which can mimic death so mostly well off people would pay for someone to check on the grave shortly after burial as a precaution .

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks John it all very interesting isn't it

I believe this kinda work is noble, remember I those that are forgotten. Each had a unique story. I also believe this content is extremely important for the datafication of everything. I believe the metaverse is going to huge and cemeteries will offer unique experiences with AR/VR. Imagine going to an individuals grave and being able to experience the world that person lived. To the best of our ability to recreate the past with all known data etc. They'll be like fully submissive movies. The future is going to be wild and we're fastly approaching that time.

Question GV/Serenity Sue & our cemetery tour community; is the show most haunted still a thing now? They post nothing on their KZbin channel except shorts. They did post a long form live @ Halloween but the drama is too much & gives me a headache. I used to LOVE ghost hunters, ghost adventures, most haunted etc all of them in the '90s & '00s on paid cable subscriptions with dvr that cost $$$'s until I cut the cord a long ago. However, the drama is literally sickening now to me (fake). I also do not like short videos on KZbin, I know they are pushing short video content on creator's on KZbin because of advertising revenue costs & short attention spans of geotargeted age groups. If I wanted to watch free short trash videos like what's on Tiki Tackie (disgusting/political crap) or (criminal, under age sexual content videos) for free I could but I don't & won't. No disrespect to those that do enjoy that content of course. But I pay for KZbin & pay the cost of large streaming platforms for commercial free long form video by independent creators (20 plus minutes of content on KZbin). Why do I pay for KZbin, because I enjoy those folk's like GV/Serenity Sue that do that content that I enjoy. 😀

Hi I watched the Halloween live but I find that group boring. I do like ghost hunters International tho
