SOMEWHERE IN TIME - A Walk at Bohemian National Cemetery

One of my passions is antique photos. A few years back, I was in an antique shop somewhere in Alaska when I found a photo that looks just like my oldest son! The gentleman even had a beard just like my oldest. Of course I had to buy it, and when my son saw it, he wanted it. He has it on display in his living room and he has been asked many times about when/where/how did he get his photo taken. The friends, once told the story about the photo, will look again at it, at him, and can't believe how much it actually looks like him.

Beautiful cemetery even with aircraft overhead. Thank you Ron for pausing your camera over the porcelains and zooming in on that particular person. This gives me the opportunity to really think about the person at more than a passing glance and fires my imagination as to who they were in life and wonder about individual life stories. It is immensely respectful too. As you noted, cemeteries are the repositories of history. Which is why I love them. I love them for the history and the peace and serenity most cemeteries afford us as we stroll among the graves. Thank you for taking us with you! Edit: The person I am most keen on, Ron, is Lisa Casazza in Somerville, MA. Remember her beautiful bust outside the family mausoleum? Someone had draped beads over her bust. I tried in vain to learn more about Lisa and her early and untimely passing, but struck out. Lisa Alessandrina Casazza Baptized: 15 June 1916 Boston, MA Death: 1944

When I was on a field trip to the art museum in Houston..I saw a painting of someone that I literally had the feeling I knew him..I went back after several years..and I went straight to his paintings..it was so weird..🕊❤🦄

😳 you said a Red Tailed Hawk is a sign of Death??? Several years ago on a Sunday... I'll never forget this...I looked out my window and saw a hawk ( don't know what kind) sitting on a fence right in front of me. I came down with with uncontrollable feeling of dread and despair, to the point I almost became physically ill: I started crying and wailing. For 4 hours. Out of the blue and for no apparent reason. Finally it abated. The hawk had sat there for a few minutes after I saw it, then flew off towards the east. After I calmed down, hours later, I heard that my good friends son was killed on a motorcycle, just about the same time the hawk had been sitting there or shortly thereafter. He lived on the eastcoast. The same way that hawk flew.

My favorite cemetery! While standing at the gravesite, can’t you just imagine all the mourners at the funeral standing where you are now?

I love these walks and old pics. These are my favorites. Thank you Ron for the dedication and respect you have for these people.

Our church graveyard & my family cemetery both have headstones dating back to the early 1700s, so we have signs posted "No Headstone Rubbings Allowed" & we have security as well. Rubbings have been allowed twice which I know about by a professional conservationist to preserve the information before it completely faded away. Sadly, there have been several cemeteries/graveyards vandalized recently which is why I appreciate your channel for caring & showing respect for those buried in the area while you tell your/their story!

This was a very fascinating video. I'm sorry you've had a bad run in with Christians that are finger pointers. I'm a Jewish believer in Christ and it has been done to me as well. My best friend calls those kind of people zealots. I've been watching you from the beginning and I think you do beautiful work Ron 🙂

You are such an amazing storyteller, I could lisen for hours.

Yeah when I see photographs of my grandparents and they were in their 60s, they did look older but when I think what they had to go through in their lives and how hard their lives were compared to mine, it is mo wonder they looked older. Bless them ❤❤❤

Hey, Ron! Really enjoy looking at the porcelain pictures of the people who have been buried there. I know exactly how you feel when experiencing deja vu! My mom and I took an extensive trip to the UK and Ireland. We were at Dover Castle and they had a very large display of the tanks and weapons that were used in WWI. All of a sudden, my mom had a very intense panic attack and she just wanted to get away from there. It’s like the displays triggered something from a past life. She was really affected by this so I said “let’s get out of here and go see some shops in a quaint little village not too far away and she calmed right down. Both of us have a great interest and connection to the era of WWI. I’m pretty sure that we both experienced it first hand and sometimes something can trigger memories, or really intense emotions. I totally believe in reincarnation and so does my mom. I don’t think it conflicts with Christianity at all. The Bible has been edited and rewritten so many times that I wonder what the original book included and didn’t include! Many things have been removed from the Bible as well. We’re almost at the point of “lost in translation “. I do consider myself a Christian, but I have a more broad sense of things that are acceptable to God. I’m pretty sure that the powers that have been in charge in different ways in the Christian faith have probably “edited “ the Bible for their own agendas. Absolutely I believe in reincarnation!😊 thanks again for an awesome video!

I really enjoy hearing your stories about the passed, and the comments that people make are really interesting too. Most people are respectful to different opinions, and we have a good FOF community. Thanks for sharing !

That is my favorite movie of all time. Somewhere in Time has some beautiful music.

The photos on the tombstone are just amazing. When your walking threw a cemetery and see the names you really can’t picture what they looked like at the time, the pictures give you a sense of who they were, and if your intuitive what type of people they were, even the old tin types reprinted there. Because like you said sometimes you can’t stand there for 20 minutes with a smile. But still some of them look really mad, did you notice that? Wonder if they really were?

I love the pictures they display with the graves. Gives a face with the name.

It’s very sad about the hawk, at least he’s in the right place, thank you Ron for the walk in the beautiful cemetery ❤

Glenwood Cemetary, on Washington Avenue right near downtown Houston. A gorgeous cemetary that has Howard Hughes, Gene Tierney and Dr Denton Cooley, the famous heart surgeon resting quietly under the massive, shading oak trees....along with many other famous people. A lovely, quiet place.

I just love the stones with pictures on them. It brings those buried there to life, which is cool! I love this cemetery. I bet a lot of residents that I took care of when I worked at the Bohemian Home for the Aged, are buried here.

I do believe in it completely. I feel like I’ve known some people in my life. Many times people have come up to me and think they know me Call a certain name that’s not mine. Interesting! I enjoyed the walk.

All the planes and sirens show how life just keeps ticking along without us. Great walk today and the video with the planes worked out great!👍 I too find that sometimes when I look at a gravestone or photo, I'll do loads of thinking about the person, what were they like, would I have hung out with them or maybe in a past life I knew them because they intrigue me so much. When I see small children and babies I wish I could hold them. The goat and cart photo was probably taken by one of those travelling photo takers. They used to come around our neighborhood every so often in the 50's with a pony but maybe some used a goat because it would be cheaper to own. I've seen a couple goat ones before.
