The fear of being buried alive gave rise to the saying ' dead ringers ' . The deceased was buried with a string in his/ her hand that led to the surface and was attached to a bell ...just in case ! It leads me to believe that mistakes were made more often than one would think .

Even in periods like the 1920's, doctors could make mistakes & declare people dead. I had a great - great aunt who was declared dead 3 times.

I would hope that she was still weak & delirious from her sickness & really had no idea where she really was & what was going on. RIP John, Julia, & Hugh

That is soo sad and yet creepy..even after the laying out in the parlor they didn't know she was alive..it must have been doubly heartbreaking for her young husband,who, having to bury their only child at 6 years old, finds her..the horrible regrets and pain he must have felt!

What awful way to go and be buried in your own mausoleum... and no way out . How gruesome Ron!! So sad 😢 but she is with her family!! Rip Julia and your husband and child 😥😦...ty Ron another great story from our best storyteller of all times !! Til the next video .... keep them coming sir.😊☀️🌻

A horrible way to die. The family would suffer terrible guilt for not realizing she was still alive when they laid her to rest. Very sad. Thank you for telling her story. It looks like a beautiful cemetery.

The cemetery was astounding. The bird song! Very historic. Story deeply sad. Always thought the traditional wake developed ( 3 days) as tradition so these things would not happen. But……so absolutely tragic. Thank you Ron.

Very well done Ron. You drew us in to her tragic story. To think that at this beautiful, peaceful, final resting place she "woke up" to this horrific fate. Chilling. Thank you for giving her a tribute rose. Somehow it softened her tragic end. Rest in peace dear Julia. ❤

Excellent retelling. I could almost feel what you felt inside the crypt believing where they found her lying. Her child predeceased the husband, so the poor man must have been completely bereaved to not only bury his young child but having to rebury his wife now knowing the pure horror she experienced in her real death. Mesmerizing and worthy of a Vincent Price, Edgar Allan Poe film.

That poor girl. I can’t begin to imagine the horror and sheer terror she must have felt. I hope she is resting in peace now, along with her family. Very strange story about the door. Sounds like some kind of supernatural force was at play there. Since it was the scene of something so terrible I’m not surprised. Thanks for sharing Ron. It is quite a beautiful old cemetery.

😔😥poor lady, I can't imagine what she went through. R.i.P Julia 🙏🏻 Thank you Ron for remembering her.

What another tragic story. That poor woman. I can't imagine how she was feeling. That must have been terrifying. Thank you Ron for sharing that with us. The backstory started out happy and turned tragic. I hope she can rest in peace now along with her husband and son. So sad the son died so young.

Omg! This is just unbelievable! Poor beautiful lady! We learn it’s happened often back then…but no one visited her after for a while and no one heard her screaming…that is very sad…

If you plan on stopping by Virginia you should definitely stop by the Yorktown battlefield. There are so many graves from the battle of Yorktown. You also have the serial killer never caught, alot of ppl from here think it was the start for the zodiac killer. It runs between Yorktown Va and Williamsburg Va around 20miles long and still no lights on that road. You cant forget Ft Manro, I wont even go there at night because of the things I've heard myself and while your here eat some of our famous She Crab soup, made with our famous Chesapeake bay blue crabs I cant help but to love the Hampton Roads area 🤭

This one hit hard. I hope that Julia knows that her story is known and that she’s surrounded by people like us who hear this and grieve for her.

I can't imagine the horror she went through. What a very horrible tragedy. She is beautiful lady. ❤🌹💐

Poor Julia!! I couldn't even IMAGINE the absolute horror/fear she had endured when she woke up and found herself in there!! Just so completely terrifying!! What a real life nightmare!! 😢

Was my great uncle ,told me that when he was a boy in 1885 , at 8 y.o. , and there was a death in the family . With no embalming done , that the coffin placed inside the house with coal oil lamp lit . All the family sat up day and night to see if the death was real ? After about 3 or 4 days . Real signs of death was visible . Then the family took the coffin to the cemetery. In very rear cases the dead would wake , in the coffin and hopefully be reunited with loved ones !!! Meny simple folks took care or their own dead , buy ,or build their own coffins ahead of times to die !! Death was not spooky at all but still a time of sorrow ! I'm now 75 , telling you ,what was told to me as a boy in 1953 !!

RIP dear Julia❤️🙏 God bless you amen, our collective prayers are with you AMEN

Every time I hear of someone being buried alive it gives me the willies. I think a long time ago I posted about the story my grandpa said his grandfather told him about being a caretaker of a cemetery in the late 1800s in Germany. It was winter and they just had a cold snap and he was doing his rounds and he heard faint screaming coming from a grave of a young woman just buried, realizing she was buried alive he ran to the shed to get tools to start digging. But then he realized the ground was frozen and by the time he would get to her she would have already died of suffocation and it would be horrible to dig her up, tell her family she was buried alive only to end up dying anyway from suffocation. He thought knowing that would be more horrible for the parents then just thinking their daughter was already dead. So he put his tools away, went inside, made himself something to drink and cried all night knowing she was buried alive and he had to leave her there cause either way she would die of suffocation so there was no point in digging her up. That always traumatized me as a kid hearing that and my biggest fear for a long time was being buried alive in a box.

Strange story. She could not have been buried a long time because she was not able to survive very long.. so how was it the ground was frozen in such a short time? If they just buried her it was not frozen. If she was buried for a while how could she have survived. I doubt that the story is true

@lisatheboywonder6744

@@stephaniegilcher4577 I said in my story that they had a cold snap the night before so the ground ended up freezing. So my guess she was buried the day before and if she was comatose or whatever the entire time her breathing would be shallow/almost non existent cause they did think she was dead so she wasn't taking up air and there's variables depending on what scientists you ask, you can survive anywhere between 5 hours after 'waking up' or 24 hours. So it's possible she was buried the day before and when my great great grandpa was doing his rounds she just 'woke up' and that's when he heard her and this was in Europe where it is colder and their cold snaps are brutal so the ground can freeze pretty bad even if it was only frozen a foot down with victorian era digging tools it would have taken forever to even get a foot down into frozen ground.i never met my great great grandpa so I cant ask but from what I was told of him he was a very no nonsense man who didn't mince words and my grandpa said wasn't the kind to ' tell stories ' cause my grandpa was the same way and my grandpa believes it could have happened and If HE of all people believed it, I'm kinda inclined to believe it. But I have wondered myself over the years and I thought about it a lot like you the circumstances and conditions and did a million Google searches because it just weirded me out for years I felt like I ' had' to know if it was possible cause it was so creepy. My stance is inconclusive I read that it could be possible but still I don't like to think it happened cause it's just so damn creepy.

@@stephaniegilcher4577 I don't know where in Germany cause unfortunately my grandfather passed in 2008. So I can't ask and it's possible especially if she was only buried the day prior. She would only suffocate after she woke up and realized she was buried alive and used up all her oxygen. Apparently it was super common in that era to be buried alive which is creepy and there are stories of people being dug up and rescued after being buried for a day or two so who knows. I read up so much on being buried alive cause for years it scared me cause it was a legit fear until I was in my late twenties cause for some reason my grandpa decided to nonchalantly tell a bunch of 7 and 9 year olds how his grandpa left a girl buried alive in a cemetery. But this is the same country that read their kids struwwelpeter....so yeah. I hope it wasn't true cause it legit disturbed me to the point of it being a obsessive phobia. I mostly gotten over it but it still gives me the willies.

Poor poor woman 😔 how horrendous! So many stories I have heard ( a good few from you) about how many ' died' and were buried alive in those days. Horrific! I'm a recent sub of yours from the UK. I am so so glad I found your channel. I literally listened to all the play lists over 5 days! I pottered about with my ear pods in and listened to your stories and would stop and watch parts I could then save and revisit them to see the bits I had missed visually lol. The beauty about your videos is the fact that you almost combine a history podcast with a broadcast. You tell the stories so vividly, colourfully and calmly that we take it all in then we have the luxury of the visual of you being there and the links and pics you put in. I have learnt so much history from your channel. You've visited places I can only imagine being in my lifetime. I almost had anxiety when I was getting to the end of the last playlist and would then have to wait for uploads! 😂. Also I found your channel at a very stressful time in my life and your stories and voice brought a calming feeling for me and was able to relax alot listening and learning and being kept intrigued. So thankyou so so much for finding a passion of yours as well as a gift of story telling and sharing with the world. Also for keeping alive the legacy of so many people that so many of us wouldn't know about. So many you have spoken about deserve to be remembered and honoured. Your respect especially with the vets etc is admirable. Also the missing or broken head stone work you do with the charity is wonderful. Thankyou again and good luck for all your forthcoming trips and we all can't wait! Love and appreciation from Across the Pond ❤️

I had a great grandfather that was thought to be dead and woke up during the wake. It's written about in some old family bibles and has been passed down. I understand it scared the crap out of everyone present. He lived for 6 more months before passing. He was very lucky 🍀. This was in south Carolina.

Wow. That would have been horrendous. With her having been sick for a few days before they declared her dead, she had to of been weak and that last big effort to break out of the casket and vault might have taken about all the life she had left. I really hope so...I hope she lay down in that corner to rest from her efforts, and this time, death did claim her, and she didn't suffer anymore. What a story!

What a beautiful place!

Thanks Ron for the story of Julia Legare. Only one can imagine what her thoughts were at the time? To be enclosed in her coffin, waking up, and she finds herself trapped with no way out. A sad, but chilling story. Thanks Ron.

Wow so sad!! I'm sure her husband felt so bad. I wonder why he passed away so soon also, after? Her son 2yrs after and her husband 4 yrs after. The first time i saw that door opened after they found her i would've torn down the cript down and make a nice open aired burial memorial garden❤️ so she would be outdoors forever

So sad RIP what she went through. Thank you for sharing. 😞 So horrible so sorry that happened to her.

I don't believe I'm wrong when I write that we were all and perhaps remain thoroughly creeped out by this story, and Don's telling us particularly chilling as he was in the mausoleum. I actually got up as I felt a moment of panic which thankfully passed away quickly, whereas I did not. Thank you so much for remebering this lady and her lost battle. Indeed, thanks for remembering them all with respect, and when applicable, kindness. You are a fine ethnographer, sir. Best regards always!

I feel very sorry for her. Hear from you about her! I feel depressed, hoping that now her sleep well in the arms of God.

What a lovely old southern cemetery. South Carolina, especially Charleston, has so many stories, history, and beautiful architecture. I think Julie, her husband, and the child died within six years?
