Sounds like a good man. He cares about the people and animals he was transporting! Service at its best! No wonder he was successful!

Love stories like this. I come from a long line of stubborn Irish people. What a great tale. Thanks for the shout out as well Chris, wasn’t necessary but loved it. I truly enjoy what you do! Stay safe, stay well! Regards from Austin

Being of Native American and Irish descent, I totally understand the stubborn part-my parents said my brother and I were always mule headed (that's another way of saying really really stubborn lol). Hadn't heard this story and got a good chuckle when you mentioned he was buried standing up so he could hurl epithets/curses/insults in the afterlife. My thinking is he has no worries, why carry a grudge to the afterlife? Surely he can transport everything safely without tossing insults to others in the afterlife.

Funny 😂🤣!!! Thanks for the laughs , hugs Susie 🥳🥳

Everybody knows that Marilyn Monroe is entombed at Westwood manorial park in L.A. but do you know that the person in the crypt above her is a gentlemen his name escapes me but his final request was to be buried face down so he could look at her for eternity could you do a story on him

Now that's a man who could carry a grudge. The part about him initially being buried standing up really had me laughing. Great story Chris.

Hey Whitdocs, if you're ever back in Vermont, there's a guy who was buried and had a window put on his grave so he could see out because he was terrified to be buried alive. The window peeps down to his body. You probably already knew about this but figured I would mention it.

What a burdensome load to carry such an unforgiving heart around inside of you for your entire life. What a tragic man.

That is so much of a chuckle. Poor man. Hopefully he has put it all to rest for a peaceful afterlife.

I find it amazing so many people find it funny or cute that his daughter was so disrespectful to rebury her father and put someone she knew he hates beside him forever. Also I know Cave Hill cemetery pretty well because I don't live far

This guy needed some serious prayer 🙏. And some serious churching. Unfortunately it's too late now. Have a great day everyone

Dude, your narration and presentation is better than most. Subbed!

Great video. Thank you for sharing. God bless ❤.

Fascinating stories you are bringing to this channel! Great job Chris 👍🏻 👏

I love it! It sounds so outlandish that it has to be true. Thanks, that was another good story!

What a crazy but great story! I too love to hear this kind of stuff!

I understand that his original tomb complete with porthole stood in a remote area overlooking the Ohio River for many more years but was removed in more recent years due to vandalism.

What an interesting story. I never heard this one. Thank You for sharing👍❤

I feel the same way about semi trucks with the loud ass pipes.

Great video! Never heard about this man. This is cool!

Now he has his very own steamship captain to yell at and he can't leave 😂🤣😅so McCarrie got the last laugh 😂

Your blogs are always so interesting. Thank you so much for your time and research.

Unique, very cool Thanks ! Bob

This is both a strange and funny video. I would hate to know that I carried that kind of hatred of others to my grave. Kind of poetic justice that his daughter had him buried with a steamboat captain. Thanks for sharing this Chris. Have a great weekend!

Love this story. Thank you very much

I’m glad that you are on mends recovering from your surgery

Cave Hill Cemetery is a beautiful place

In Virginia, there's a Slave owners corpse buried standing up overlooking his fields. He told the slaves he owned that he would be watching over them for the rest of the plantations days. They believed the owner and lived scared to death ever after. its near Roanoke

Wow what a wonderful story 😎 Love it 😍

My Great grandmother came from Ireland to New York between 1881 and 1887 and my Grandfather came to New York from Poland in 1895 . Its in the DNA .

Whiskey Pete, of Whiskey Pete's casino on the NV / CA border, asked to be buried standing up, holding a gas pump hose, with a bottle of whiskey at his feet, facing the road. When they built the freeway they dug up his coffin. When the crew heard that story, they loaded the coffin into a backhoe, drove it high up into the mountain range behind the casino, and reburied him, standing up, holding a gas pump hose, with the original bottle of whiskey at his feet, facing the casino. They added a fresh bottle of whiskey, minus the toast they all drank to him.

Very interesting cant wait to see what's next thankyou have a great day

LOL, the irony is so perfect. :-) I was just at Cave Hill, but didn't know about that story. I've been off the grid on a five-week road trip and haven't had time to watch any videos since I left. Looks like you were on a road trip too. Glad you came through your surgery and are back. Hope that is all behind you now, Chris!

🛥If that wasn't God, I'll "EAT MY HAT"!!!! The man was sooooooo MISERABLE, soooooo ANGRY, that God had him buried next to a Riverboat Captain!!!! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!! Thanks Whittdocs, if I knew you were in town, I would have bought you lunch!!!!

Hi ! This was a different and very interesting story ! I love stories like this ! LoL . Buried standing up ! You do definitely research great ones. Thanks again for all your famous vlogs!! Take care ! Deborah Canada

Great story. Thanks for telling it.

I really enjoy your content never a dull story and you are the best. And this is a very interesting story

i was just there last week. love Cave hill

Oh my! Bet there have been some lively discussions going on in the after life between these three 😂. Love stories like this.

Wow! I loved this one. I have subscribed to you & I am really looking forward to seeing your next one.

That poor man, all that anger and bitterness towards boat captains and then his daughter marry's one! He fits right in with the characters of Cave Hill.

What a fantastic story!

I'll say it again!! You cover the best topics. So glad I found this channel. Interesting!! Oh the irony! 😁

I heard that coffins were place in a six foot hole standing straight up to save space

Short, informative and very interesting story. Good looking mausoleum too. :)

This is great! I chuckled too..😄

Chris, I love your youtube channel

Looks like a beautiful cemetery

I’m Irish , nobody holds a grudge like I do !!!!been told I am the most stubborn person who ever lived

Was he standing up, thanks for the vlog

Never knew about this do know about the one with a phone and the glass good video

I love this story wonder if he's turning in his grave knowing what his son in law did for a living and he rests for eternity with him

Oh wow that is wild taking anger to the grave

People that angry end up in Hell, not "resting in peace" so they can hurl curses after death. If this story is true, then he failed the tests of life, and was also self centered with an overbearing sense of entitlement. I feel sorry for him. Hell is not a good place for anyone to end up.

Funniest cemetery story I have heard.

I truly enjoyed your videos

That’s how we should have buried my father in-law: he spent his entire life being angry.

Brilliant video ☺️

I've been dead on my feet before....but.....

That’s pretty cool. He hated captains that much. Have you thought about covering the tent graves of northern Tennessee? They are fascinating. I just mean down the road. I’m sure you have more videos planned.

Very interesting story and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful mausoleum!

I live about 2 hours from Louisville ky

Fantastic story! Great video!

I like his style.

A perpetual standing ovation, it's a grave thought!

A "fairy" is a mythical winged creature Not a ship.

Thanks for the funny

Whether its folk tale or not great story and ironic outcome.

You're not very much "Resting" if you're standing UP for eternity!! Whaddaya say? :D

Good one. How ironic right.

Heck I can’t say to much to good ole Frank, I can cuss like a sailor myself and in my younger days I definitely could see myself saying bury me standing up so I could yell at ppl who ticked me off lol. I love this guy and what a kick his daughter married another Capt, so hilarious. Welcome Maureen ! I for one can’t wait to hear some more stories, even if it never happened they are so neat to hear ! Thanks Chris and Mrs Whittdocs ! Great video !

ME TO,💜

Good video !

Fabulous

Well I guess they say when you're mad you're mad so you better get glad that you're mad thanks for the video very interesting and I hope you're feeling okay stay safe and stay healthy be with peace

That's crazy lol Great vlog Thank you

Neat story

This as always was very interesting Ned enjoyed it also

I would hate to carry that hate around everyday...I can only imagine he must have died from a heart attack...great story!

So he was buried standing up. It didn't take too long till the body start to undo and the bones would be at the bottom of the coffin. Death truly is the greatequalizer!

Nice video, subscribed.

I think Frank must be kin to my Mother In Law!!!

Thanks buddy…

What a beautiful mausoleum...

What a beautiful mausoleum! Good for him!

Wheres his picture.

I never heard of someone buried standing up that’s rediculous he sounds hateful.

Hummm wonder if jealousy was part of it. Makes one wonder. Quite a thing to be burried upright. His daughter marries a captain. Can't help but chuckle at that. 😆

Vertical burials are not that uncommon. They have done this in Japan for generations.

What is the last thing an Irishman with Alzheimer's forgets? His enemies.

There is a guy buried in our local cemetery that was in the civil war and he was buried facing the south so he could raise up on Judgment Day facing the South?? Wow that is bitterness!

I get it.

It could be a little like the incident in Chicago; one mobster was being planted in Mount Carmel, next to the man he'd had murdered a week or two before his own demise. The sexton remarked to a nearby policeman that he wouldn't like to be there on Resurrection morning...... There's a legend from the Chilterns (England) about someone buried sitting at a table - and wasn't an American lady buried sitting at the steering wheel of her very expensive car?

My granny was buried standing up cause she wanted to see who came to see her

❤ about the strangest story I've ever heard.😅

One of the reasons was he never said anything about NOT being buried that way

Wow

He cared about the people and animals on his boat though, so he wasn't all bad.

Are you in Louisville?? I’d love to meet up with you & show you some good stories to film
