I Got Spooked In The Columbarium at West Norwood Cemetery - London

In this video we'll head to the graves of Henry Tate (Tate & Lyle Sugar/Tate Gallery), Henry Doulton (Doulton Pottery) and Sir Horace Jones (Tower Bridge Designer) oh and also the grave of William "Shakspeare" Which confused me a bit.
I also step inside my first columbarium where I have a bad experience.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was known as “The Prince of Preachers” from the mid to late 1800’s. A prolific speaker, he drew enormous crowds. He is still widely read and respected.

[@tezpa3931]

The fact that you said that you couldn't see those people with your eyes, but you could see them with your brain - like your 3rd eye. That makes me happy. Because that's exactly how I see my parents and grandparents, who have passed on. It's wonderful to have confirmation that it's not in my head. Your description proves that to me ❤

Walking around old cemeteries has always been a bit of a hobby of mine, I love reading the inscriptions and finding the oldest graves. My friend and I back in the 70s when we were young teenagers, spent many days in the warm school summer holidays just wandering round respectfully reading graves. We'd even take our lunch. Unfortunately she ended up in one herself far to soon, died aged 46 from leukaemia.

My dad, nan, grandad and sister are all laid to rest at that cemetery as well as friends etc. I love to walk round there. I have a pretty good knowledge of the history of the cemetery, the famous and influential people buried there and it still fascinates me and I always find out something different each time, or from listening to people like yourself. The Greek cemetery is stunning, amazing tombs in there. The bit up the steps was the old rose garden and catacombs. They are now no longer burying people there unfortunately. I want my ashes spread with my family when I finally pass. I've always felt watched there but always at peace at the same time. Spurgeon was a baptist preacher who was born 19.06.1834 in Kelvedon exactly 100 years to the day as my nan, who was also born in Kelvedon and now rests just yards away from him (random fact you probably didn't need to know)

Beautiful place up there. They use to only let certain people be buried there. My Sister in law got permission from the family when he passed to bury her husband there, then her daughter’s step son. They actually have hollowed out big boulders and buried people in them. They have now for sometime allowed anyone to be buried there that can afford it. They do bury family members on top of each other. Now they have a beautiful chapel there, that also has crypt burials within the walls, they have those cremated urns behind glass. Some people have their urns made out to be of something they enjoyed in their lives, such as a replica of a antique car, sports car, butterfly. They are there to see like they are art. The thing is in this huge chapel there is a beautiful tree , I mean BEAUTIFUL. The lady was showing us this tree that really looks like it is growing, it was imported I believe from Italy, if my memory serves me well, in the chapel and my daughter a teenager at the time was like take my picture by this tree and was leaning against it, touching it smiling. Then the woman says you know you can be buried in this tree? Your ashes can be placed in part of the tree. I never seen my daughter move so fast, jump away from it , freaked her out lol 😂. This chapel also sits on a big lake and the lady tells us they hold weddings there. Now that freaked me out but guess to each it’s own! 😮 I thought you might find this interesting.

Thank you, Dan, for another intriguing journey. Perhaps you are 'blessed' like me, with *Second Sight* - as my Paternal Granny Reid advised me when I was an eight-year-old living in the Springburn district of Glasgow N1, in 1959? I love to hear the birds singing during your 'adventures', especially the Blackbirds, singing like *Linties!* ... Remembrance: Summer 1978, metal detecting, again, on the site of the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge, 4 September 1526. I was on a 'new area', where, after the battle, Knights had been buried in cysts and discovered at ground level by railway navigators employed in building the viaduct over the River Avon. The Knights, within their cysts, were subsequently re-interred on the adjacent hillside. After a very loud signal from my old C-Scope detector, I dug carefully into the earth. Within two minutes, I was completely overcome - mentally - by a very evil presence. The feeling was all-encompassing. I, inwardly, apologised for my disturbance. The evilness continued to invade my mental capabilities. I then quickly covered up the disturbance of the earth which I had caused, still apologising for my folly to this invisible vice-like grip. I went down the wee hill and walked swiftly to my auld MZ 250cc motorcycle, packed up my stuff and drove carefully home to my Family. I still have a dozen or so artefacts from previous visits to the Battlefield, mercifully inert. Stay free, Dan. Rab 🍻😎 ⏰ 🎲 🌠 💀

There is something so peaceful and tranquil and magnetic about graveyards. Obvs these folk were rich to have these monuments. In one of our local churchyards (not as grand as your rambles) there is a 14 century posh grave monument with the story of how a ploughman got killed by his Plough carved into pictures. We were shown this on a school outing in the late 70s. It's kinda macabre but fascinating. Thanks for sharing. I will share this weird experiance with you all. Back 10 yrs ago I was researching a local mill owner who had a substantial house and estate on a what's now a sports field next to were I live (now long gone) he owned cotton Mills in the 1800s and the local mill he owned is still going but his family died out in the 1950s it's believed. Anyway I was discussing him with the local historian who has a local history website. I asked where the daughter and her husband were buried (the last to live in the big house prior to its demolition and poss last family connection to the mills) he said its unknown. He knew where one of the sons and father were buried(a town 10 miles away) but not his daughter and other son (the daughter was run over and killed by a lorry in the fog crossing a road across from the big house in 1932). Anyway I was going to one of the local churchyards a few months later to put flowers on my mates grave. I do this on his birthday every year (sadly he died aged 13 in 1984 ) its in the same yard as the ploughman I mentioned and as I entered the path to the churchyards a couple of Robins were flying around and this one Robin kept making a hell of a racket jumping from Bush to grave stone and it stopped on this gravestone monument and just jumped up and down flapping and making a racket. It was indeed the daughter of the mill owner and her husband and her brother was the next grave down. I never noticed them before and the writing for some reason was on the other side of the stones to the rest of the graves.

I have lived in the surrounding area of west norwood, but have never been round the cemetry, did not realise how big it was, like all older cemeteries certain areas are becoming overgrown and neglected due to up keep costs, but not to bad condition overall compared to some, hope they keep maintaining it and do not cut back anymore

[@silverstars7882]

I have been to a couple of funerals in the cemetery but like you I never realised how large it is.

I'm a new subscriber and love your cemetery videos. Makes me feel melancholy, wanting to know about these people.

It was nice to see him mention our son Anthony Russell. We are not able to visit now

[@deadgoodwalks]

Hi Elizabeth, I'm sorry for your loss. I remember his name and lovely grave well. Sorry to hear you're not able to visit anymore, If you would like me to film a private video for you and lay some flowers on your behalf I'd only be happy to help. You can contact me at [e-mail] if you wish. Dan x

Had to subscribe. Excellent content and so interesting.

Wow!, amazing headstones and mausoleums, why is it so grown up with weeds and grass? It would probably cost a fortune to hire ground workers to keep it mowed, or is the tall grass part of the intrigue? I enjoyed this walk, wish I could see it in person, maybe next year . Can't wait for the next tour. Hauntingly beautiful. 😊🌻🌹

[@paulinemegson8519]

Well for one thing, trimming the grass with so many monuments would be a long, involved and most importantly hand done job. The only other option would be to use weed killer which would be a travesty. Graveyards are some of the very few areas in modern cities that aren’t groomed and manicured to within an inch of their life. And because of that, they’re a haven, not only for wildlife and birds but also for plants. The long grass isn’t hurting anyone and those “weeds” are food for many creatures. Leave them be.

A beautiful and very interesting cemetery. I was very impressed to see William Spurgeon's grave. I like to know the dates as they all seem to be old. I have subscribed ...

[@rowanshadowwolf1]

I discovered your channel yesterday, love it, and subscribed. You mentioned forgetting to bring a torch...have you thought about getting an app for your phone that acts as one? The cemeteries you visit are so beautiful. We don't have anything like that in the US, at least not in the western states I've lived in. Maybe give us a few hundred years and a Gothic Revival or two...

Hi Dan, FINALLY found you and subbed!! BEAUTIFUL cemetery, which seems to have become a wildlife haven!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!! Love, Nadia from Wakefield, West Yorkshire XXXX 👍💖 Ps I'm sure William Shakespeare is buried in the parish church of Stratford-upon-Avon!! I went a few years ago, and the church was charging £3 just to visit his tomb!!

[@deadgoodwalks]

Thanks for subbing Nadia! I'll have to go see the real William now after finding this one lol. cheers x

I tried to look up something about the bible on the pillow. Not much on it, however I did find a mention of the resting promises of God. Resting in God's promises. God's word being a place of meaningful rest.

[@canimangel1]

I really like your videos but would love to see you pause on the graves and names so as we might see them too 😊 thank you for sharing with us.x

As my father would say “A quiet and peaceful marble orchard.”

The Bible on a pillow/cushion is covered by this symbolism: A book found on a cemetery tombstone can represent many different things, including the book of life, often represented as the Bible. A book on a gravestone may also depict learning, a scholar, a prayer, memory, or someone who worked as a writer, bookseller, or publisher. Books and scrolls can also represent the Evangelists

Such a beautiful cemetery…❤

New Sub here. Really love your tours.

Always good to hear, thank you!

[@nonakabyrd5759]

I find it odd, that the Cemetery looks like it abandoned.

i understand feeling the way you did in the Norwood columbarium..been that way myself since i was a kid. There's a few of us around

[@johorrocks8927]

So interesting, I have never seen anything like this...thanks for the introduction...I can't help thinking that you had to be wealthy somewhat, for such ornate headstones and mausoleums...

[@johnhankinson1929]

Unlike the poor unfortunate sods that were basically dumped in Angel Meadows in Central Manchester . Martin Zero has a great video out on that subject ,take a look at it Jo ,it'll make you want to weep how the poor were mistreated

Absolutely fantastic tour. 👏 I wonder if you could go to Colne cemetery in Lancashire. My Dads family is buried there. My Great Grandma owned most of Blackpool when she was alive. X

[@deadgoodwalks]

Hi, I'll be near there tomorrow so I could pop by, just let me know the names and locations

Charles Surgeon was a very famous pastor. I have one of his bokks. Thanks for sharing this video

Sorry, spurgeon, not surgeon.....

[@jc23977]

Thank you, I am from Indonesia, so it's impossible for me to visit C.H. Spurgeon's grave in person. But through your channel, I can see C.H. Spurgeon's grave. Much appreciated.
