There’s a difference between those people and the ones coming here today. Those people were immigrants, looking to better themselves by hard work, and the opportunity’s this country afforded them because they were willing to work. The people coming today for the most part are here for a handout, they are not immigrants, rather, parasites willing to take government handouts rather than work for what they are getting. I know there are a few good ones, but I think that’s very few, from what I’ve seen in a border state. I know this comment will make some people mad, but I call it as I see it, and I’m not worried about political correctness just as most of the people in those Cemetary’s wouldn’t be either. Good video

There is great beauty during all the suspected futility of trying to transcend among others who couldn't care less. However, simple cares, and our serenity, these are good markers of our having been here. I lived without the steady burden of any societal war, and I beat the 1-in-20 odds for being born in the USA. I count my blessings less often than I truly should, but clearly more often and for the proper reasons, in contrast I think to the many styles of people I must still deal with each day.

Oh you aren't by yourself, smile. I have always loved the beauty, peace walking thru cemeteries, especially the older ones. It's like opening, reading a book from the past. There is such an enormous amount of history in them. I used to walk through one I lived near when I lived in Eureka Springs Arkansas. There was a 3 person site, surrounded by a low stone enclosure...on each corner of the enclosure were statues of large dogs. There was a smaller dog at the headstone of one grave... turned out to be a young daughter. I walked my poodle thru this cemetery...it was a large, safe place to walk him. But it is true, each time we went there, he'd want to go to that gravesite...and lay on the grave of the young girl. Yes, the other two graves were her parents. I'd sit along on the stone wall. Once leaving, my poodle seemed concerned, whining as though something was wrong....I tried to soothe him, see if I could see anything....as we were leaving I heard, as did he, a little girls voice whisper "goodbye". 💞 It stopped me and then made me smile, as I whispered, you are welcome .

Ever since I was a child I’ve loved exploring cemeteries. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been able to see and hear spirits but, they’ve always been places of peace for me. My momma and my grandmother used to take me to visit the places where our ancestors were buried and tell me stories about them. Because of them taking me, I took my kids and now they know where their 4 times great-grandparents are buried and where they lived. Families need to pass on this information to keep that link with the past.

Many years ago, I lived in Morgantown wv. My son and I went to Point Marion. On the way back in a very sharp turn we noticed an old cemetery, we stopped to see it and looked like someone drove through it and broke and scattered many head stones. We spent several hours trying our best to put them back best we could, making sure to get them right. Many were in the 1800s. I felt like the folks buried there deserved to have their graves fixed out of respect. Them things were very heavy, but we did the best we could. I hope them folks are resting easy knowing someone cares and they are not forgotten. Thank you for posting this, our history matters.

Hi Donnie, I'm in the UK and came across your channel purely by chance. When I was a child, I was fascinated by cemeteries, it had to be the really ancient ones going back 200 years plus. I always wondered about the lives lived by the people who were interred there. My favourite one was in the grounds of an old ruined cathedral near to where we lived in Scotland. I remember once getting my dad to come with me. I'm sure he was more than a bit concerned at what appeared to be quite a morbid past time for a ten year old. Anyway that particular day I pointed out the numerous headstones that had the skull and crossbones and my dad told me they were pirates 😂 I actually believed him! Years later while watching a documentary it mentioned that it signified people who had died from the plague. When I rang my dad up he roared with laughter saying that it had taken me long enough to rumble his big fib. I'm off to catch up on all your other videos now!

The struggle was real pretty much everywhere. When my Norwegian GG-grandparents homesteaded in Dakota Territory they had to scratch a living from the soil gnarled with roots of tall prairie grass that'd been growing there for hundreds or thousands of years. (prairie grass fires were common, sparked by lightning) The Sioux/Lakota threat was still there in the southeastern area. I'm not sure what they used for heating as there were few trees, maybe buffalo chips. It really humbles me to contemplate all the misery and death they endured, along with uncertainly about the next meal. Add:: they entered Dakota Territory in 1870. I've often wondered if I had the same fortitude to leave my native land, knowing you'll never see family again, and head out to a new and wild western US. Usually end up feeling I'm less than worthy to stand in their shadow.

Coming from Canada, I do not really have an accent and your voice is like warm molasses running one my soul! As you showed the old logging roads, it brought back so many memories of times I have done the same thing. I always thought it was magical with the leaves crunching and the sun dappling through; I used to pack a picnic and a book to read over lunch and would make the day of it. Because my Dad grew up in a cabin in the woods during the Depression, he had taught me how to get around and also to get by with what the forest offers. I felt so free to be a young girl (maybe 8-10 yrs old?) with a VERY strict father, but was trusted to spend the day wandering alone in the woods!

What were their lives like? Overgrown cemeteries are especially poignant as they emphasize the "lost and forgotten"...almost as if their lives didn't matter' while their lives mattered every bit as much as our own today. Their struggles were so much greater as their carved out lives in rugged tough terrain and making what they needed. We don't hold a candle to them.

I absolutely love your videos. I don’t comment often but had to on this one. I find this so fascinating, the beautiful woods and the long forgotten cemeteries peeking through, giving us pause and reminding us of our heritage. We owe everything to these brave people who now lay in quiet repose. I sometimes feel grateful that they can’t see what we’ve turned their sweat and blood into but at the same time wish they could see the marvels of today brought about also by them. I did genealogies on my family and it, too, is fascinating. Thanks for the video, I am going to see your sister’s channel.

Donnie I HAVE to share this with you! I was walking around the 1800’s section of a cemetery we visit often, audio recording with my video camera on my phone. I was speaking as I walked around, reading headstones. I commented about one that had begun to fall over, “I wish these headstones were in better shape.” When I played the video back, a gravelly voice was heard responding to me, saying, “Me, too!” It sounded like an older man who had smoked pipes for many years!!!! Gave me chills! I believe that grunt sounding voice your sister Robin caught was a female trying to muster up the energy to vocally speak, but she could only manage a grunt, as it is very difficult for spirit to produce the energy vibrations to cross the veil to audibility for the living. Maybe it was spirit from the time of the grave, wanting to respond to her.

I had no idea shaving cream would clean off tombstones! That's fantastic information Donnie! Thank you for sharing that! We've always used muriatic acid for doing that. We won't be doing it that way anymore!!! I'm going to guess you used Barbasol. I have always loved walking in the old gardens (gardens of good and evil) cemeteries. I love the history. I love recognizing the memory of those who have passed that time perhaps has forgotten. The one thing I can not abide is those who vandalize cemeteries, tombstones and mausoleums. Not only is it disrespectful, but it shows a complete absence of respect or integrity in the character of those who do vandalize those things. It's inexcusable, disgraceful and unacceptable. In my not so humble opinion. They are orbs Donnie, and even a spirit playing peek-a-boo from behind the tree. Believe that. There is always someone there Donnie; you just may not see them, but you do them hear them. Fences and gates were put up around cemeteries, not for keeping people out, but for keeping the spirits within. 😉 The woman's voice on Robin's video said, "Hey". I just subscribed to Robin's channel as well. Thanks again for sharing Donnie!❤ ~ APRIL LIPKE

Hi, Donnie, my husband and I are from England, UK but have close friends in Tn. In 2010 we visited them just outside of Knoxville. We had a magical 10-day stay in your beautiful state. I remember visiting the Old Gray cemetery in Knoxville, and looking at all the graves of soldiers killed in the Civil War, but my greatest joy was visiting the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park, taking a photo and after going through my phone camera finding a picture of a civil war union soldier reflected in the window of Craven's House. We found the Old Gray cemetery quite creepy but loved the ornamental tombs dedicated to various dignitaries and famous soldiers. All in all, we had a wonderful time with our friends and loved Tn. I will be watching more of your videos. Thanks again.

I have just found your channel and enjoyed this walk with you immensely...some of these lonely spirits were probably just surprised by your visit, so were having a little peak at you, maybe you could tell them in that kind & quiet voice of yours, that you come in love and peace, just passing through for a little visit as maybe no one had been to see them in a while. I'm sure they would appreciate that.. I know I would if I had been there for several hundred years with no visits. I have now subscribed

This was a wonderful video. I live in the deep woods of Maine snd there are tons of graveyards along the Appalachian Trail just like you found in Tennessee. My family and I feel a nostalgia when we find old graveyards and buildings. Like you, we wonder what life was like for them as they tried to scratch out a living on our rocky soil and during the long, cold, dark of a Maine Winter. Subscribed and happy to do it.

Howdy Donnie, I truly appreciate and enjoy your work. I'm a native of New Tazewell and I love history and the way people back in the day lived but what truly hurts is knowing that the generation of today just doesn't care about anything but themselves and their electronics. We grew up in the best of times when kids and adults were proud of their history and roots we were happy nowadays people are just rude and don't even know how to associate. May God continue to bless you and your family and may he give you the strength and guidance for you to continue doing what you enjoy.

Believe it or not, the ancient historians wrote the same thing about the young generation when they were alive. Suetonius and Tacitus both complained about kids writing on public buildings and speaking in strange slang. 😊 It's why I try hard to find and love what's good in those who will come after us. And I'm lucky to have young friends since I'm old, too. Here's looking at what's good around us in these tough times. God bless you! 🌎🌿🦋🐕🌲🌲🌛💫🩵
