I’m from Chicago, Michael, and honestly never heard of the statue of eternal silence. Beautiful cemetery, and never have been there. Someday when I go back, I have to visit it. Thank you for sharing! Funny how you mentioned Blues Brothers! I was lucky enough to have been an extra in the film!

You two should go to Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in Midlothian(near where you are). It's supposed to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the US. Love the vid Michael and Jessica. Much love and horror from Kenosha.

[@galememeeof6688]

That's what I was going to say. From a small town between Peoria and Chicago, IL

[@tonycowser1843]

Bachelor's Grove is mostly fenced off now, and the Midlothian cops will stop you if they catch you messing around back there. I use to party there back in the early 80's, when I was in High School. Pretty creepy back there, at night.

[@DugNastyMusic]

I read the back of the Eternal Silence monument. It appears Dad and 2 kids died from an epidemic in 1844….and poor Mom only lived 5 more years after they were lost…🥺

[@rayjames7702]

Go to Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago and there's a statue called the Pilgrim Statue or a.k.a. "The Death Statue" and rumor has it that anybody that dares to look in the eyes of the statue will die within a year. I did it back in the summer of 2010 and still alive and kickin.kicking. The statue of the little girl encased In the glass container towards the end of this video has a been reported to be seen running around the graveyard on a stormy night and the cemetery decided to put a glass covering over it to stop it. I could be wrong but I do believe she did die during a storm, hence the umbrella. 🌂

[@peterstachura8595]

@Ray James I work right by Bohemian!! I also grew up not far from it as well! Me and a coworker went on the tour that starts at dusk and was utterly INCREDIBLE!!!! I never knew about the Pilgrim Statue and don’t remember if our guide brought us to it or said anything about it! I need to look over my pics and videos that I took during the tour!

[@ronrobertson59]

I lose sleep sitting up at night in bed watching your videos. Some of the coolest art in the way of statues I've seen has been in cemeteries.

[@bonjovirocks24]

The Kroeschell grave monument was built to look like its wreath and ornaments were torn from it, just like half of it appears to be torn off. The monument was built like this to echo the way the deceased was torn from this world, and the grief that remains.

[@Kinshukay]

thanks for clear.. cause am like what of people could do that

I can see myself standing there like the guy in Mallrats trying to see the sail boat. Beautiful statue and very striking color for a gorgeous grey day.

[@CosmosTheMouse]

The Inez Clarke grave @ 15:56 is probably the most talked about grave in that cemetery. People claim when it rains sometimes the statue disappears from the box. One caretaker quit his job there because he apparently saw it walking around or something.

When Michael and Jess came to your house, the video they did was so interesting to watch and it was so neat to hear all the stuff you were telling them. Do your Beetlejuice figurines still fall over? Take care of yourself.

[@sylviayoung1901]

As kids we would visit an old friend and his wife who lived in Evanston. Not but a few blocks from his house was Calvary Cemetery. One of the oldest if not the oldest in Chicago. There our dad and the old man whom we called "Guman"...honest to God! Always had gum! Anyhoo their tale was of "Hoagie Tweeter" whom they said was dipped in brass and stood like a statue in a very thick glass coffin. They wove all sorts of good and scary tales that left all 5 of us sister's both excited and terrified. So yeah, what did we do!? Why sneak into the cemetery of course to see Hoagie Tweeter for ourselves! Oh what a delightful tale, it was fall and cold, so windy you could hear the waves off Lake Michigan crashing on the shore. Of course that night was a Harvest moon...beautiful and chilling! We walked up the road, gravel crunching under our feet, everything lit like daylight from the giant orange moon and there he was! Hoagie Tweeter (His true name was Joesph "Josie" Lyons) where the other came from who knows! Giggle. Anyway true to form it was a little boy of nine from probably around the turn of the century. He stood...hand to heart with school books under one arm, his other outstretched as if waiting for something to be put in it...and there in his outstretched hand was a shiny new penny!!!???? How could this be!? This was a very thick glass coffin with a brass top sealing it! Years later I looked the brass boy up and much to my shock and wonderment there he stood...not with school books under one arm and other outstretched like a teapot with a modern penny...not even close! He was leaning on a stump and his other arm by his side...WTF!!! 5 of us saw it...just like I said and yet here he is completely different...please explain, please!

[@malotonga4957]

Come to Cleveland and go to the Lake View Cemetery. The Haserot Angel is there and it looks like it's weeping black tears due to how the rain falls on it. Really creepy, but also cool looking. Also, Eliot Ness is buried in that cemetery.

[@paulhasenauer4166]

One of my favorite Semetary statues ever. Use to live 5 min walk away from there, right off Clark st. One of my last memories of my mother, she was visiting Chicago from Oregon, and I took her to Graceland. We took photos together in front of Eternal Silence. She passed away not long after she got back to Portland. RIP Christine Smith, love you Mom

[@texasbluegrass567]

The Kroeshell monument represents death and all the damage done when family is taken from us. There was no vandalism. It was made to look like that.

[@csh43166]

There was a time I was afraid to go to cemeteries, then I moved across the street from one of the older cemeteries in my hometown for awhile back in the early 2000s. I started walking over there for exercise, and now I find them peaceful and fascinating places. A lot of history to be had, as well as lovely, touching memorials and monuments erected by loved ones of the deceased. That Guardian of Silence statue is amazing! Thanks, guys!

[@jeanne7617]

I also feel peace in cemeteries.

[@samanthab1923]

My sons nursery school was at an old Episcopal church that had a graveyard attached. They would take walks back there & have the kids read headstones to learn their letters.

[@pinkcyclop]

We have a graveyard in Halifax, Camp Hill many walk through it daily from running,walking. I even seen someone taught their kid to ride a bike in there. Every October 5th people drink Alexander Keith's beer leave the empty can at his family plot

[@missdee212]

I've always felt peace at cemeteries, it's the living that giveme anxiety

[@protègemoi777]

When I was 16 we moved to a house in a quiet cul de sac where my bedroom window overlooked a large cemetery. It was so peaceful and beautiful, and it never felt spooky or sad (and I am generally a sad person lol). The bathroom window looked out onto an older part of the cemetery with lots of typical English early 20th century tombstones, surrounded by leafy trees. When the sun shone it was beautiful. Sadly I moved south after 8 years, but I felt lucky to have lived there.

[@beckyfearereck]

The grave you were saying that looks like the coliseum is the grave of the Kimble’s the ones who made the pianos. Love this cemetery

Hi Micheal I am officially from Chicago and have read alot of huntings in Chicago . Chicago is a great city . The pizza is the best , love your videos . stay spooky .

[@nancyoleksy]

My friend and I wish we knew you were here. Would love to meet you both. We have been to that cemetery and had a weird experience. Long story but we kept hearing someone screaming. At first we thought it was someone from the main road messing around but then we saw this woman/girl dressed in 60's kind of clothing walking around by herself. We didn't think anything of it until we were looking at some graves and she showed up from no where and when she looked at us it was really freaky. Like she looked right through us and then when we kind of ran back to the car we hear that scream again and we didn't see her AT ALL!!! Believe me we looked. So don't know if she was a ghost or not but freaked us the hell out!!!

[@tonibee1918]

In Chicago we call that train that keeps going by the “L”. It’s an elevated commuter train.

[@SpootyChick]

Love that you were able to visit this cemetery while in Chicago. I had a great time visiting there and was happy to see that you highlighted some of my favorite statues. The faceless angel being one of my favorite. Wasn't sure if you were aware of the ghost story that went along with the girl in the glass case. The story was that the girl's name was Inez Clark and she was killed by being struck by lightning. The statue, was said to disappear whenever it stormed and that sometimes you could see a little girl playing in the cemetery. There was some investigation on the girl and found out that she is the daughter of Mary and that wasn't her last name but Briggs which is from another marriage. She also didn't die from being stuck by lightning. Still it is a fun ghost story to tell when talking about this statue.

[@VividAbominations]

I googled a few of the names on the monuments as I watched the video. Many of these people were famous architects, and helped design what would become Chicago. I even found out that the brother of author Charles Dickens is buried there. Jack Johnson is the most famous person there, but there are also several Chicago Cubs players of the early years of baseball buried there. When I looked up W.M. Hirsch, I found a bunch of relatives of his in Chicago. One of them is alive in his 80's and highly known for his contribution to math and genealogy. One of the other huge burial sites was of Chicago's richest man between the late 1800's and 1920's.

The story of the little girl statue is interesting. It supposedly comes to life and walks the cemetery grounds some nights and reappears in the chair in the morning. Another interesting part is there isn't a girl buried there at all, it's a boy named Amos Briggs, and nobody knows who the girl actually is.

[@geomolobo7460]

I'm born and raised in Chicago and throughout the '80s and early 90s my sister and I will take her kids to this cemetery numerous times to do headstone etchings, the blue statue if you look in his eyes for 30 seconds to a minute you will feel a cold chill go through you, and the statue of the little girl in glass is a replica of the girl that died her father had built in her liking and at night it is said you can hear a child crying into cemetery and if you go into the cemetery at night you will see two blue glowing eyes running over the hill, it is also said to be haunted.

I love visiting Chicago, especially the cemeteries. The Kroeschell Monument, according to some research i did, was designed to be missing the other half, symbolizing a life torn apart by death. Herman Kroeschell was a german immigrant who founded a boiler manufacturing company in 1879. It later branched into cooling technology, and Kroeschell Engineering Co., formed after the company has merged with industry giants, is still in operation in suburban Arlington Heights.

I read that Kroeschell monument was designed to represent life being torn apart. I'm not sure if there was a bronze wreath on it at some point. The Eternal Silence is beautiful and scary.

[@davebrewer9279]

The wreath would almost certainly have been made of bronze considering the craftsmanship (assuming it ever had one, the effect could have been accomplished with overspray) I have tried to find evidence linking the Taft “Eternal Silence” sculpture to the vintage Ouija Board boxes but I can’t find anything. Considering the age of both the change in box design from original and the sculpture c.1920, it seems most likely that Wm. Fuld co. did borrow the design.
