Amazing research and hard work. Really enjoyed watching this. Some of these gangsters died young. Call it karma or divine justice or anything else, but they didn't live long enough to enjoy their ill- gotten wealth. Edit: ironically their graves have " My Jesus Mercy" engraved on them.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you. It's awesome to hear my viewers are enjoying my content. Yes, this video was a ton of work. Lots of research, writing and video editing. Very true, and where did all that mob money go after they died?

[@Veronica.A.]

@@StrangeandSinister1 It may have gone to their relatives or it may have been seized. But the bottomline is the mobsters who were chasing money for their own pleasures or for their old age/sickness didn't live that long to " reap" the actual benefits.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Yeah it's a crazy way of life. Some of them were under the age of 30.

[@Veronica.A.]

@@StrangeandSinister1 And their relatives may not necessarily be as evil as they are or are deliberately dragged into this low life profession for no fault of their's.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Agreed. It does make me wonder what kinds of stories the relatives of these people have.

[@rgarlinyc]

Thanks for all your work in researching and filming this look at Chicago's infamous gangster era - all very interesting to me! I've also marveled in the past at how most all of these guys never made it past 30 - and your view of their gravestones confirms this. As for Sam Giancana's murderer, I too thought it had to be his longtime driver and close confidante Butch Blasi - after all, Giancana was fixing a snack at home for himself and (clearly) a trusted friend/accomplice, and Blasi had already set up an alibi by ostensibly leaving the party earlier to go home, but in affect returned later and quietly let himself in.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I read somewhere he was expecting a guest for dinner the night he died.

[@rgarlinyc]

@@StrangeandSinister1 yeah, that's a plausible;e scenario too 👍🏻

[@jameschanin]

My neighbor across the street from me in Hillside is related to Sam Giancana & my wife grew up with 1 of them. We sit next to Sams daughter at weddings & birthday parties.

Interesting subject. I had no idea that many gangsters were the same cemetery. For those who didn't know Capone's grave is right off Roosevelt road and easy to find. His grave is even highlighted on Google maps.

Al Capone used to be buried in mount olivet before he was transferred to mount Carmel. and I lived a block away from there for many years. I actually did see a spirit of a woman in mount olivet, I’m not sure if it was a time slip or what but I had a jerking feeling that came with it. Great video as always.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you. That's cool. I talked about his Mount Olivet grave and showed the tombstone. The ghost woman sounds interesting.

[@andreajanota6258]

@@StrangeandSinister1 she had on a wide brimmed bonnet so she definitely looked like she was out of the 1800s. The weird part is that Mount Olivet is not known for being haunted, but I saw what i saw. I actually do have ancestors buried in both Mount olivet and mount greenwood across the street. Hoping to stop in for a visit there soon.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Wow, that's creepy. I'll have to check out Mount Olivet some time.

[@johnmiller2689]

Great video, I've always liked prohibition era gang stories since I was a kid watching old B/W movies on T.V..

Now I have no theories on who killed Sam Giacana, but a friend of mine, uncle, ( the husband of his aunt) grew up together, and bit served as alter boys. He seen a picture of them together, but his cousin since sold the property where my friend used to live and he’s not sure who owns the picture now.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Interesting. I read somewhere that he was cooking for someone he was expecting for dinner the night he was killed.

[@AmericanBeautyCorset]

Hi I like your videos. My brother and I visited the Cemetary many years ago. He wanted to see the grave of AL Capone! We had a hard time finding it, because it was covered over with a Huge bush. The care taker said they had a problem keeping it tidy, because so many people visit him on a daily basis. It reads like a Sicilian phone book when you drive around. Thanks for a great video. Oh ! The bullet holes are still there in the Facade of Holy Name! And O' Bannion had his flower shop across the street. Even though it's a parking lot. It's creepy when you walk by late at night. Tootles 😊

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you! I saw old pictures of Capone's grave with the huge bushes. It looked like a giant tree in the picture. Now they cut all of that down and it's two small bushes. That's cool about the bullet holes. It's a beautiful church too.

[@lnproductions3227]

Really love the stories behind these infamous figures of Chicago! Very interesting history and information. Keep up the amazing videos/documentaries

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Glad you like them! 👍 I love the old gangster stuff.

[@MaryWeppner]

Great research. Grandparents are buried there. My husband's great grandmother sold hats to Frank Nitti. Been to the cemetery many times. Have often visited Capone, Nitti and O`Banion graves. Did you ever do a story on the Italian bride? Love your channel!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Yes, it's a really cool monument. The details on it are stunning. I actually filmed it while I was there and the footage will be used in another video.

Very informative video! I remember going past Mt Carmel often as a kid, passing by on the Tri-state and the Ike or along Roosevelt Road. It’s a huge cemetery district - didn’t know those mobsters were buried there! My favourite Spanish restaurant is nearby, just down the road. Live very far away from there, now🇦🇺 Wish I could explore Mt Carmel (and stop in for some tapas at Emilio’s)!❤️

Hey great video. My daughter was going to school in Ontario Canada. She was in grade 12 and was in the band. Well their annual band trip went to Chicago in the year 2008. They were taken to this graveyard ,but couldn't get in because they said you have to ask for permission!?.The kids were very disappointed that they couldn't visit this Cemetery. She would like to visit again with her friends, but this time will do research on this topic. Thanks again

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Mount Carmel cemetery in Hillside, IL is open to the public. You don't need permission, but maybe it's different for group events. I don't know.

[@CurtisAClark]

Excellent, well do video. I see how much you've researched.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks! A ton of research went into this video. Plus finding the graves, which was actually pretty easy.

[@AaRoNaNtHoNy80]

I lived in Pembine WI. (Northern Wisconsin) for many years. Al Capone has an old mansion in the woods. There was a big gate at the beginning of a long narrow driveway that led way into the woods. At the end was a mansion type house, with a big foiyea (I hope I spelled that right). There was a small lake right behind the house as well. Everyone said it had an ash bottom. Idk if it did. My friends and I would go party back there. It was creepy. As far as I know caretakers took over the property many years ago.

I livein central WI and Green Lake is a little area people camp n fish now but AL Capone and his gangsters had a whole hideaway there. There's a bunch of old stone houses they built to stay in and plaques that tell of bodies in the lake with cement shoes and shootouts that happened. Pretty cool lil place

Im curious of whats going on with Al Capones grave? It looked like it had been intured or wasnt mowed in a perfect rectangle for some reason... maybe family had fresh sod installed, if there are any Capones still around in Chicago??

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I think new sod was being planted over his grave. The original grass probably died from people constantly walking and standing on it.

May is indeed buried next to Mattie, who was his wife, in an unmarked plot, probably at the request of his family.

Isn't Mt. Carmel the resting place of prominent priests/bishops/cardinals? Quite the little neighborhood, Isn't it??🤔

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Yep, it sure is. I read there was controversy over Dean O'Banion's massive obelisk. The cemetery didn't want his grave to stand out like that because he was a gangster.

[@jared1870]

There is nothing better than a good cemetery tour. I agree the men should not be glorified, but they still made history, just not the good kind. And again, people chipping away at the headstones of the infamous. Who in the world would display such a tacky collection?

[@StrangeandSinister1]

They did a great job removing the spray paint from his headstone. You can't even tell it was there.
