One of my passions is antique photos. A few years back, I was in an antique shop somewhere in Alaska when I found a photo that looks just like my oldest son! The gentleman even had a beard just like my oldest. Of course I had to buy it, and when my son saw it, he wanted it. He has it on display in his living room and he has been asked many times about when/where/how did he get his photo taken. The friends, once told the story about the photo, will look again at it, at him, and can't believe how much it actually looks like him.

😳 you said a Red Tailed Hawk is a sign of Death??? Several years ago on a Sunday... I'll never forget this...I looked out my window and saw a hawk ( don't know what kind) sitting on a fence right in front of me. I came down with with uncontrollable feeling of dread and despair, to the point I almost became physically ill: I started crying and wailing. For 4 hours. Out of the blue and for no apparent reason. Finally it abated. The hawk had sat there for a few minutes after I saw it, then flew off towards the east. After I calmed down, hours later, I heard that my good friends son was killed on a motorcycle, just about the same time the hawk had been sitting there or shortly thereafter. He lived on the eastcoast. The same way that hawk flew.

Our church graveyard & my family cemetery both have headstones dating back to the early 1700s, so we have signs posted "No Headstone Rubbings Allowed" & we have security as well. Rubbings have been allowed twice which I know about by a professional conservationist to preserve the information before it completely faded away. Sadly, there have been several cemeteries/graveyards vandalized recently which is why I appreciate your channel for caring & showing respect for those buried in the area while you tell your/their story!

Hey, Ron! Really enjoy looking at the porcelain pictures of the people who have been buried there. I know exactly how you feel when experiencing deja vu! My mom and I took an extensive trip to the UK and Ireland. We were at Dover Castle and they had a very large display of the tanks and weapons that were used in WWI. All of a sudden, my mom had a very intense panic attack and she just wanted to get away from there. It’s like the displays triggered something from a past life. She was really affected by this so I said “let’s get out of here and go see some shops in a quaint little village not too far away and she calmed right down. Both of us have a great interest and connection to the era of WWI. I’m pretty sure that we both experienced it first hand and sometimes something can trigger memories, or really intense emotions. I totally believe in reincarnation and so does my mom. I don’t think it conflicts with Christianity at all. The Bible has been edited and rewritten so many times that I wonder what the original book included and didn’t include! Many things have been removed from the Bible as well. We’re almost at the point of “lost in translation “. I do consider myself a Christian, but I have a more broad sense of things that are acceptable to God. I’m pretty sure that the powers that have been in charge in different ways in the Christian faith have probably “edited “ the Bible for their own agendas. Absolutely I believe in reincarnation!😊 thanks again for an awesome video!

Beautiful cemetery even with aircraft overhead. Thank you Ron for pausing your camera over the porcelains and zooming in on that particular person. This gives me the opportunity to really think about the person at more than a passing glance and fires my imagination as to who they were in life and wonder about individual life stories. It is immensely respectful too. As you noted, cemeteries are the repositories of history. Which is why I love them.

The photos on the tombstone are just amazing. When your walking threw a cemetery and see the names you really can’t picture what they looked like at the time, the pictures give you a sense of who they were, and if your intuitive what type of people they were, even the old tin types reprinted there. Because like you said sometimes you can’t stand there for 20 minutes with a smile. But still some of them look really mad, did you notice that? Wonder if they really were?

All the planes and sirens show how life just keeps ticking along without us. Great walk today and the video with the planes worked out great!👍 I too find that sometimes when I look at a gravestone or photo, I'll do loads of thinking about the person, what were they like, would I have hung out with them or maybe in a past life I knew them because they intrigue me so much. When I see small children and babies I wish I could hold them. The goat and cart photo was probably taken by one of those travelling photo takers. They used to come around our neighborhood every so often in the 50's with a pony but maybe some used a goat because it would be cheaper to own. I've seen a couple goat ones before.

As you walk through the cemetery, looking at all these pictures, it's so clear these souls felt all the emotions we feel. I think all of us who are drawn to cemeteries and exploring them might share some stronger connection to the past than others. There's that saying, that someone is an "old soul ".

I love your videos,they are absolutely perfect.I am from Slovakia (Europe)=part of former Czechoslovakia which was divided into nowadays 2 separate states in 1992: Czechia (Bohemia)+Slovakia. I know Czech language almost perfectly (at least for 99%) so I can give you some more translation of Czech words that you can often see on the graves of this beautiful Bohemian cemetery: "zem.=zemřel"=died, "ve stáří"(e.g. "ve stáří 23 let") =aged 23,or (in other words but with the very same meaning) in the age of 23 years,or (again the same meaning) 23 years old. For example: "Zem./zemřel ve stáří 23 let" literally means: "he/she died in the age of 23 years". This unusual form is written on the Czech (Bohemian) graves very often: no date of birth of a buried person is written on the gravestone but there´s mentioned only an exact date of his/her death+his/her age in the time of death. You already know that Czech "matka" means mother, "otec"=father, "dcera"=daughter, "syn"=son, "manžel"=husband, "manželka"=wife. I didn´t mention a word "rodina" (=family) on any of the graves but maybe you did.Thus I translate a Czech word "rodina",too: a family. Other possibly seen Czech (Bohemian) words: babička=grandmother, dědeček=grandfather, vnuk=grandson, vnučka=granddaugter.

I’ve seen Somewhere in Time several times. I love stories like that, where someone in the present time makes a connection to someone from the past, usually through a photograph or something similar. I think that happens to a lot of people. Who can say why that is, exactly? Time travel, reincarnation, ghosts, or perhaps a connection to the person in some other way we’re not yet aware of, like a family connection. The pictures have a way of reminding us that these people weren’t just names etched into headstones, but people who once lived lives as we do now. There’s the saying that “As you are, I once was, as I am, you will be...” that I’ve seen from time to time on monuments. One thing I’d like to know is how the pictures are made that makes them last so long. They seem to have been made to be very resilient.

The way I see it as a Christian, what you are doing is honouring history and those who have passed on. We are called to pray for the dead, plus the Bible does actually reference spirits and ghosts,especially in the old testament. I've always felt drawn to graveyards and historical sites of death, to me if I feel a particular connection then that is a sign there's a lesson to be learned there or a soul to pray for. I don't practice the occult like seances or oiuja boards but I definitely think the realm of spirits, saints and malevolence is closer to us than we like to think.

Thanks for sharing another lovely walk with us, Ron. The porcelain portraits were beautiful! I agree with you about the “Somewhere in Time” lady!

I always enjoy the walks with you Ron through those cemeteries looking at old pictures on the gravestones. It’s so interesting, wondering how their lives were back then before they passed away. As always, you stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟

My grandparents immigrated from Czechoslovakia as adults. These pictures so remind me of them.

As usual Ron, another great walk thru Bohemian cemetery. I love this cemetery because of the old porcelain photos and the time frame of their lives. Especially from the 1800,s. Love the picture of the little boy being pulled by the goat! Really makes you go back in time. May they all be resting in peace. Stay safe Ron 🙏 ❤

Amazing walk. So many stories lost to time. But with the pictures it brings a little of that person story back as we can see them and wonder what they did in their life.

The upside down picture of the lady makes sense when it's closed her and her husband are face-to-face

I look at these faces and see them working supporting families, laughing, socializing, just like we do today just a different era, and life was a lot harder.
