I grew up in the area. I used to attend White Deer Valley Baptist Church near there. It was the only church to survive the "ordinace". In the cemetery of that church there are veterans dating back to the Revolutionary War. There is a whole lot of history in that valley.

I lived a half mile from these and would have a great time exploring them as a kid. Up until the early 90's there was only the one prison and it was a low security "country club" where some Watergate folks ended up. The new prison is a minimum-medium-maximum security complex that completely destroyed the night sky with all the lights. The fence you see is just a property barrier and is not meant to keep people in. I know of people who would slip to the other side to hunt during deer season. I'm so busy visiting family when I'm up there, I never get a chance to walk around there but really should do it soon. Thanks for making the video.

I’ve noticed in these old cemeteries whether they are in the north or south always has cedar trees planted in them. And it’s because cedar trees are supposed to represent everlasting life. I think that’s really cool. I’m not sure if that’s still done today but I doubt it. I absolutely love these old cemeteries and all the history they hold.

At 13:15 the grave marker is for Cornelius Van Fleet. This site has a photo of the marker as well as mentioning that it's in the Washington Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Union County, PA. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=12613714 There's also a photo of what appears to be another grave marker or maybe a memorial marker for him. From the top photo of the other marker on that site I linked, it's right in front of the one you showed on the video. Place of death is noted on that website as Lycoming County, PA.

After watching your video, which I enjoyed, I did some more research. I found that some of those bunkers contain radioactive materials from the Manhatten project. In 2011 the EPA did some scans for radiation and found two bunkers with sealed drums. The bunkers were on State game lands. I am telling you this because I would not want anyone to get sick there. That sealed bunker and perhaps the one on prison land may have contaminants. Be careful out there and thanks for the great lessons and Videos.

Thats 20 mins from where I lived and grew up. We use to go to the bunkers and goof around at night. Hunted there to. And fished in the ponds. ALLENWOOD Federal Prison Complex butts up against there. Locals call this place the ordinance. So if you ask directions. Just ask about the ordinance bunkers and the prison. You'll be directed to it. There's 3 prisons there. The low. The medium security. And the max. USP ALLENWOOD. So yes there are a lot of high profile dangerous criminals. You should do your homework

The draped urn is a common symbol in old cemeteries. It was especially popular in Victorian times. There are various interpretations of its meaning. Some see the urn as symbolic of the ashes, the remains of the mortal body and the cloth as the departed immortal soul. The cloth is also interpreted as the veil between life and death. The urn as a death symbol goes back to ancient Greece where the dead were cremated and the ashes placed in urns, much as today. The symbolism on old grave stones is an interesting study.

@restinwalken4 жыл бұрын
I know this is a really late reply to you but the reason people think we live longer now is the average life span was brought down by infant and young children mortality rates. If you made it to your 10th birthday the likelyhood you'd make it into your 60's was pretty good. Many didn't even make it to the age of 5. This also shows how a "Parent should never outlive thier child" is quite a modern ideology in just the past 100 or so year's with the invention of modern antibiotics, drugs, and vaccines. It was quite common for most families before and during the 1900's to loss one or more children to disease or illness. But when you hear the average lifespan was 40's thats taking all lifespans of the time and averaging them together. Not that people usually only made it to the age of 40. Though that's an easy miss understanding of the statement if you forget or dont know that children die far more offen then they do now at least in first and second world countrys that is.
@restinwalken4 жыл бұрын
So to put it simply we do live longer now because more people make it to their 60's or older. Then they did in the past. Not that we now live more years just that more of us live to those old years.

Just a note to the somewhat creepiness you encountered. In May 84' a tornado ravaged this area. Several people were killed in the general area. The trees having been stripped over 30 years ago still have the tornado look still standing looking very ugly. A story worth repeating. A farmer in Union County had a cow missing after the tornado and just assumed missing in action. He got a call one day asking him if he lost a cow? Here the cow was caught up in the vortex and carried across the river into Northumberland County ....dropped into a pasture, unharmed. Cow returned!
