[@lisamak7288]

You couldn't come up to our wee country GV without visiting the grave of Margorie McColl. I was going to ask you if you were planning to visit the graveyard when I first heard you were coming but I didn't want to spoil the "surprise" for the members. I remember being told this story as a child by my Auntie Roberta.

[@GraveVisitations]

I couldn't pass this one out 😁

[@lisamak7288]

​@@GraveVisitations I'm so glad I didn't spoil it for everyone! Really an amazing story.

[@sallykohorst8803]

Amazing story of Margorie. And grave robbers and poor husband. What a story.

[@irenerogers]

I thought the wee county was Louth. ❤

[@janetslicer3637]

​@@irenerogersThe wee country is Northern Ireland.

[@nadiabrook7871]

Those grave robbers must've been frightened out of their skin!! It served them right too!! Poor John McCall!! I think the shock of seeing his supposedly dead wife literally at his front door after she had been buried that SAME day, must've caused him to have a heart attack!! Oh well, at least they didn't have to dig another grave for him!! May John and Margorie McCall RIP!! 💔😥💐 Thanks for telling this VERY interesting story, GV!! XXXX 💕👍❤👏🤗💞

[@gailmaree7719]

Some may say it was karma.. he buried his wife pretty fast.. and him being a surgeon and all.. fate took another in her place😳😳

[@GraveVisitations]

@@gailmaree7719 they Buried people fast back then for fear of fever spreading etc. As they thought she died from a fever

[@SerenitySueGraveyards]

What a story, my worst nightmare

[@virvoy]

You & me both Sue and that's the truth😵‍💫

[@airfona]

Me too. How many people here have decided to be cremated rather than risk the horror that Marjorie experienced.

[@DeborahIsaacs-nx4dw]

My worst nightmare too😮😮😮

[@peterredfern1174]

A happy and sad story,happy that Majorie returned to life,….sad that John died of fright May they both rest together in peace,😢🙏🙏🙏👏👋👍🇦🇺

[@1mmickk]

As the click bait titles dont get you subs or views how about being sensible?

[@tracysmith3076]

I would probably drop dead of a stroke too. Just like poor John. Thanks for taking us along ❤

[@cindyhernandez152]

I've heard the story of Marjorie McCall before, but I've never seen her grave until now. Very sad and bizarre. I don't have a husband, but if I did, I'd most likely drop dead too if I'd just buried him and he came knocking on the door. Yikes! Beautiful cemetery!

[@CatCmdr]

This was my Scottish Grandmother’s biggest fear-to be buried alive. That happened back in the day before we had the mortuary practice of putting chemicals in to preserve the body & ensure that dead is dead. Of course, before that happens, we still here of a body found alive at the funeral home on occasion! 😱💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@GraveVisitations]

A nightmare situation 😱

[@Jkk55]

That poor man dropped dead of the shock how awful is that?! I had a relative who woke up in his coffin in 1904 he was on his way to be buried my grandma was a little girl at the time she told me she ran all the way back home in shock. This happened a few times in the early days.Thank you GV I enjoyed watching this 👏👏👏👏

[@meowsthree]

Poor Marjorie! Thank you for telling her story.

[@emeraldlynx7]

Same thing happened to a woman named Octavia Hatcher in Pikeville Kentucky US in 1891.

[@sandylang9766]

What a beautiful cemetery very well kept up

[@Just_Granny]

What a horror, thank God for the grave robbers! I can just imagine the fright they had… I wonder if they ever robbed a grave after that!!!

[@nadiabrook7871]

May Margorie, John and the rest of the McColl family FINALLY RIP!! Thanks for sharing their story, GV!! XXXX ❤🤗👍👏💕💞

[@johnredgwell8805]

Interesting video. Excellent photography. Our budgie enjoyed the bird sounds in the background.

[@GraveVisitations]

Glad they were entertained 😂

[@wadewelch3798]

You are so lucky being in Ireland where there is so much historical experiences to have. We don't here in Alberta Canada but I visit graveyards and see which grave is the oldest. Love the channel.

[@shellyk8032]

Recently in Lincoln, Nebraska, a 74 year old woman was taken from a nursing home presumed dead. She woke up alive in the funeral home.

[@GraveVisitations]

😱

[@virvoy]

Oh YES, It does happen...😱😱😱

[@user-xt9kl1vm3z]

Narcolepsy was the cause of many premature burials.

[@angietunstall2555]

Hmm! I notice that a slab covers where they lie. It is presumed to deter subsequent grave robbers. However, deterring those who want to get in also prohibits those who might want to get OUT. Who's to say that having been buried alive once, it may not occur TWICE .. but this time escape was well and truly thwarted 😮 On a lighter note, GV .. I hope she gave them the middle finger! 😅😅😅

[@cyberchef69]

Absolutely gorgeous graveyard and an even better video.. great work and you sound so excited...

[@GraveVisitations]

Love the Strange stories and graves

[@wendycameron3823]

Thank for sharing that story those robbers must have got a terrible fright and the poor husbands.

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks for watching

[@Isit420yet]

Do you ever think about who will visit your grave 🪦 in 100 years from now Look at how cemeteries have changed. No longer close to a church let alone a church back yard.

[@GraveVisitations]

Probably nobody will visit lol

[@kazhome3771]

Incredible story. I remember being told they used to attach bells to the recently buried because of cases such as this. What a beautiful well kept cemetery for the departed RIP 🙏🕊💜and the families to Visit. Very Respectful GV Thank you ❤

[@lisahusted1543]

The story about Marjorie makes me wonder how many people that happened to. That would be horrible. Thank you for another amazing video

[@airfona]

IKR? I’ve always wondered about this. How many times has this happened in old times where the “professionals” pronounce a patient dead and they come back to life

[@colleenclaussen2994]

Thank you for another great video. What an amazing story!

[@GraveVisitations]

Glad you enjoyed it! Colleen

[@maryleeswope3353]

The poor McColl children...what they witnessed!

[@claudiadesoto2378]

What a beautiful peaceful cemetery, thank you for sharing

[@katep23]

Fascinating, as always. Thank you so much.

[@GraveVisitations]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@maryleeswope3353]

So nice to see the care and respect being shown the departed in this cemetary.❤❤❤

[@blueriver5269]

Can you imagine, "Hi honey, I'm home." Oh I would die of fright too. Lol thanks for the story and great video

[@LarcR]

That's a really beautiful old cemetery. Many thanks for showing it to us.

[@carolynkatsilas8559]

What a beautiful cemetery, it’s so peaceful and interesting, I could walk through these cemeteries all day, I especially like hearing the wind blowing through the trees. A very interesting story about Margorie McColl, I really wonder in the old times when they didn’t know much about different disease’s how many people were buried alive, that would be the worst thing ever 😮 thank you for showing us all these amazing cemeteries ❤

[@bruiserbuk]

Exquisitely maintained cemetery. Thank you, GV!

[@pamelawooten3251]

Interesting story, GV. Thanks for sharing!

[@dm607]

Thank goodness we are both being cremated!! I can only imagine all the questions Marjorie had. This is a wonderful cemetery, with beautiful headstones and lots of history. It's nice to see the care and preservation workers in action. Thanks GV, I loved this. Deb of Oz XXX

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks Deb for watching definitely a better option it seems

[@annfahy2589]

Wonderful old tombstones❤

[@tompena7487]

Amazing as always thanks

[@cherylschantz9893]

I had quite a fright when I noticed the person kneeling behind the tombstone. I was so engrossed in the story, I hadn’t noticed before!

[@annfahy2589]

Such wonderful gravestones

[@christineingram55]

It’s great to see a graveyard being restored..It looks like some of it is not wear and tear though how many pieces some of the headstones are in.Oh! My gosh I don’t know how I would react if my husband rang the bell a few days after he died.I bet she was very upset after with him dying at the sight of her.He probably thought she was a ghost.. The flame on top of that grave is an eternal flame,it can be taken as eternal love or eternal life ,usually the latter.Hope that helps..Thanks for taking us along ,Love n Light to you and Sue 🥰

[@user-bd4zj5pn2e]

Wow! That is quite the story! Quite frightening for both of them!...and the children too ❤. And the cemetery is so nicely taken care of. That is lovely to see for all the history it holds and for visiting families

[@susangreasby8741]

Nice to see you again. Gv. Been. Good.

[@cherylschantz9893]

I read the rest of the first plaque on the mausoleum. Very interesting!

[@haroldmclean3755]

What a truly extraordinary story, very interesting indeed, Have a Good one 👍

[@DennisScott-vo9ex]

That was very interesting beautiful cemetery thank you sir 👍👍👍👍

[@dwightsteele4027]

So nice to see such a well kept old cemetery. Thank you so much for putting your talents and hard work into to making these videos!

[@annfahy2589]

Another great story what a shock for the ol man

[@susangreasby8741]

Big. Thumbs. Up.

[@GraveVisitations]

👍😁

[@annfahy2589]

Gosh what a fright those guys got and poor Marjorie

[@venivendivici888]

Beautiful cemetery. Your Irish accent is as well. I love listening to you.

[@GraveVisitations]

Thank you

[@lindacastellan7747]

My worse nightmare! Horrible

[@Admit-Audacity]

Love this ❤ tanks

[@garywarren-gh8os]

Greetings from Poteet texas. Thank for another great video.

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks for watching!

[@sallykohorst8803]

Margories story is like a ghost story to her husband. Thanks for sharing her story. So she was in a coma like. Buried alive.

[@donnicholas7552]

Creepy story. If it wasn't for those graverobbers, she would've been buried alive. 😱Beauitul cemetery!

[@jacqui.amelie]

My biggest fear is being buried alive which has happened in the older days I'm leaning more towards cremation now even though my preference is Burial. Another great video thanks 🇦🇺

[@belindawilson1350]

Hi there GV, beautifully kept and very interesting. I would have gone the same way as her husband did,no doubt about that one. Thank you so much for finding all these interesting places for us to see.❤

[@Katseye102]

Can you imagine if the grave robbers hadn’t dug her up to get her ring, she would have never seen the light of day again! No wonder people were so frightened about being buried alive, and some went to such lengths to insure if that happened, they could be rescued…….i mean even today there are tales of people waking up in morgues. Just terrifying.

[@snowygirl3171]

Wow !!! What a story!! Poor husband 🫣

[@baileyhall8728]

Don’t people still breath when in a coma?How could they not tell 🤔Great vid GV🍀

[@suepoole8323]

Great Video, I spent hours with my Mom and Dad just yesterday, was Mom's anniversary, 32 yrs, only me left to go to visit now, I'm a volunteer at the cemetery so do the weeding and cleaning.. Mom was a Belfast girl, Dad a Dublin boy.. I'm here in Birmingham, visiting the cemetery I have visited for almost all of my 72 years, Mom used to walk us around in the pram when we were teething, so grateful to have found your channel, so a new subscriber here.. Thank you so much.

[@GraveVisitations]

Beautiful memories ❤️ thank you for watching and subscribing

[@markwaudby]

The grave robbers actually saved her life then as she would not have woken or been able to get out otherwise!! The rest of the story seems a bit tall though !!

[@maureenalder8905]

Definitely a fright for Marjorie's husband if he was the doctor who pronounced her dead 😅 Great story Great video GV ❤

[@mjrchapin]

Buried alive was a big fear; there were all sorts of gadgets that were supposed to help, like ringing a bell that is topside. Having a Wake for several days could also provide proof of death. Seems like that fear could be rather easily put to rest, so to speak. Your channel is WONDERFUL!

[@marierklassen7985]

I've never in my life heard something like that before the poor wife had to walk home in that nightmare to a husband that got scared to death by seeing her. Do you know where the ring is now ? I wonder how it affected the children and the rest of the community. Thank you for sharing another great video 📹 i sure enjoyed it take care have a wonderful day from Marie in Northern British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@marlalonchar3858]

Beautiful cemetery!

[@lorikerr549]

Great explore GV! Loved the story of Margorie McColl! And the cemetery itself! Really enjoyed it! much love from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇮🇪

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks Lori

[@robertyoung339]

I don't fear death, but I do fear being buried alive. This story hasn't helped me one wee bit!!!

[@Lorriann63]

Wow! What a thing to experience! Poor John McCall! I'm sure a lot of people would have some kind of shock to the system. A very beautiful cemetery. The Hewitt stone is interesting because that name is my second great grandmother's maiden name and they came from Belfast but I have no idea where the family came from before that. Probably no relation but it makes me wonder. Thank you, GV, for the lovely tour and story. Wasn't she lucky that the grave robbers came along?

[@iamshotty]

I have always had a fear of being buried alive, despite being an avid taphophile/tombstone tourist!! Yeah I know - hubby constantly rolling his eyes and telling me I'm weird 😂🙄Yep. I am definitely being cremated! Thank you GV - loved this graveyard xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

Shankill, My GGGGrandfathers name was Shanks and born in Northern Ireland in 1772. He and his wife Rachel arrived in Philadelphia in 1815. I wonder if there is a connection. Thank You So Much and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@joelhurley2678]

Great video, and I really enjoyed the beautiful Cemetery. I love the story about the woman who was buried twice. Thank you for sharing

[@janetslicer3637]

This was quite a story of Marjorie McCall Cathal. Never heard this story before and it frightened a man to death. Wow. I wonder how all the children took that? First the Mother, then change of plans, now the Father! Heavens, I wood be thrilled to have my husband back, no matter what. ♥️🙏☘️

[@peterredfern1174]

Another top number GV,thank you,god bless,safetravels mate,👋👋🙏👍🇦🇺

[@gregoryjenner8796]

Hey Grave Visitations. Greg here from St. Louis Missouri. Representing. Strange how a person gets buried twice. Makes you question how a person gets buried twice. Love watching you and Serenity Sue. You guys are great. Nice little cemetery. Not as big as the others that you did but still a nice cemetery. Can't wait to see another video from you and Serenity Sue. You guys are doing an amazing job at what you do.

[@donpace6405]

This is still happening today they are just catching it before they embalm you alive.

[@GraveVisitations]

Haven't heard of any incidents lately. If you have please let me know

[@johndean5251]

Beautiful

[@mallardtheduck406]

Hey G.V. that is a beautiful cemetery, it is good to see people taking care and maintaining the grounds. The story of Marjorie McCall is truly tragic, the trauma she endured, I can't possibly imagine. And for her Husband to die from shear shock, perhaps a heart attack or stroke...Man. I Enjoyypur walks and Appreciate Your Content!!! May God Bless You!!!

[@lynnefuchs4864]

Amazing story! Not likely to happen today due to the embalming process. Beautiful cemetery. I love your channel and narration.❤

[@GraveVisitations]

Thank you so much!

[@verasandin3599]

Love your video,s

[@verasandin3599]

What a wild story, that would be horrible to be buryed alive, gives me goose bumps,

[@GraveVisitations]

A Strange one isn't it

[@NurseOasis]

Beautiful area

[@virvoy]

Well GV, that's a cracking good yarn about poor Marjory McCall, I'm not sure who would have been more shocked out of all those involved, possibly the husband as he apparently dropped dead on the spot, seriously though the thought of waking after being buried is just too horrific to even contemplate, not sure about rousing in the crematorium either, a little hot under the collar to be sure, I can't decide what would be worse burning or suffocating?😱I had a panic attack just thinkin' on it😵‍💫so I did...A delightful visit & turn in the old graveyard👍👍May Marjory & John RIP, they certainly deserve it!!!💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@Lizablue0608]

Omgosh! What an amazing yet sad story she didn’t get to spend those years with her husband and tell this story together. 💔

[@michaelbedinger4121]

Beautiful cemetery, very well cared for. I hope that scare 😱 the grave robbers got with Margorie haunted 👻 them for the rest of their lives. I told my son; When I pass on, hold off a few days before burying me. Just to make sure that I am really dead! 😮 Great walking tour, thank you very much GV. Have a great weekend. 😊

[@brendacanter9768]

Who thought they would be greatful for grave robbers? Sad about her husband😢 Wonder if they ever caught them?
