SEARCHING for the UNSEEN - Forest Hill Cemetery

I've returned to this location with one purpose, to search for the Unseen!
Welcome back to the Incredibly Unique Forest Hill Cemetery. I've filmed a few videos here in the past, but this time I'm focusing on the areas and things I haven't seen before. There's some off beaten paths, trails and areas of this cemetery that most people don't see and I want to find out what can possibly be out there waiting to be discovered. One thing I can say is that there's more here than just cemetery related items. Also joining me is ‪@RevengeOfTheApocalypse‬ who did a more traditional video of this cemetery.

Hi Jay, I found out why the chain link was on that stone: "The three-link chain is the main symbol of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and its presence on a cemetery tombstone, gravemarker or monument indicates that the deceased belonged to this fraternal organization. The three links represent friendship, love and truth." The woman's husband may have belonged to that organization.

@18:38: Looks like a zinc headstone. Back in the day, they were a less expensive substitute for a marble or granite headstone. They were actually quite common. They were precast, and the inserts (the anchor & rope; the cross & crown; etc...) were simply screwed on to meet the family's desire.

For some odd reason, I enjoy walking through old cemeteries. Those markers with just numbers on them could be from a mental hospital? When someone in a mental hospital died, they would bury them that way, with just a number, because no family member could be contacted (for whatever reason) or no one could/would claim the bodies for burial. Sad but happens. Love your videos and look forward to more. Thanks for sharing :)

Regarding the Jackson memorial at 17:31 in the video. That is a metal tombstone of the kind popular in the late 1800s and early 1900's . The symbols on it are Masonic. The crown and cross is from the Knights Templars and the anchor is from Scottish Rite.

@kaitlynobrien516 Жыл бұрын

It seems that many of the present headstones have been catalogued on find a grave, I recommend anyone who visits places like this to use the site either to find info or even add to it like photos or GPS coordinates. The numbered markers tend to indicate plots with burials in which a headstone could not be afforded but can also mark plots that were for future use. Its possible to go in those areas and find the exact locations of the burials with ground penetrating radar (GPR) for any abnormalities and the original marker places could be estimated from this as well.

Hi Jay, I wonder if the numbers on those old stones is for the people who died in an asylum, they were given a number because the family wanted their loved one's name to be hidden, mainly because the families didn't want shame brought onto the family name. The crown with a cross through it can signify the rewards that await faithful believers in Heaven. The sphere you saw at 21:38 can mean a soul waiting for the resurrection. The 3 linked chain represents the Independent order of Oddfellows, they stand for Friendship, Love & Truth. My favourite one was the graves of the 2 Brothers with the airbrushed marker, that was so expertly made and so unique. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞

I could spend days here. Beautiful and interesting cemetery. Not sure what to think about all of those headstones laying on that hill. They could be graves but I think you would see some sign of caskets. Could they be from other cemeteries in the area that were moved? Maybe when the people were dug and moved to here or other places a new headstone was made and the old one discarded. Best thing would be to talk to someone associated with the cemetery. Same with the numbered graves. The anchor usually means a sailor. The crown and cross means the reward in heaven (crown) after the trials and tribulations of living on earth (cross).

My tattoo depicts a small infant laying on her side wrapped in angel wings holding Scarlett Rose as that is what we named her, Scarlett Rose. It just reminded me of it is all. We lost her even though my antenatal visits were previously fine and on 9/11/09 the doctor told me she had passed away.

Have you ever seen the grave of Barbara? She was a nun at the university that borders the cemetery. As you may know there is a cemetery on that university's campus where nuns are buried but Barbara was considered a 'sinner' and therefore she was not buried there. Her grave is in between the campus and Forest Hill, down a pretty steep incline. If accessing it from the university there is a set of stairs leading to it, but you can get to it from the cemetery as well.

The markers with numbers on them might be pauper graves..

Those numbered markers are likely paupers graves, ie people that didn't have a next of kin to claim the bodies or whose family was too poor to give them a proper gravesite.

They are plot numbers. Probably no one hurried there just empty available plots at one time.

Surprised by the large number of rhododendrons in this area must have been planted by the builders of the cemetery. They are clearly older ones based just on how big they have gotten, do you know how old the place is?

Was there a mental hospital near there? Sometimes the mental hospitals would bury their dead with just a number, if they had no family.
