Grave consequences

[princeofdaftness]

Nunhead open day may 21st Saturday 2011, opening crypts and stuff, Google it, nice video btw

[Vandertop]

One of favourite haunts! I lived just around the block in Surrey Road for many years and can recommend a visit. It's very overgrown in parts and was heavily vandalised at one time. The volunteers are doing a great job. Money from the Lottery Fund helped to preserve the church. Its a great place to go blackberry-picking too!

[Larkvall]

I think Ollie likes scary monsters.

[Johnmartine63]

Yes! Highgate was odd. They kept making us stand in a libe to show off our photo passes.... When I was there I managed Kensal Green, Brompton, Highgate, and West Norwood. They were all great! I really liked Brompton, they seem to rent the gate out as an apartment? what really amazed me was the walls around them! And addresses on the gravestones... If i go again I shall certainly bother you for advice!

[Johnmartine63]

I missed this one on my London trip, now I am regretting my second trip to the Victoria and Albert. Very funny too!

[Eliseharris]

There are a lot of fascinating Victorian cemeteries in London - this one is pretty creepy and has some great tombs and you don't have to pay to see it (unlike Highgate).

[ChloeMae124]

it luks familiar to sumut off of most haunted lol!!

[goth6satan]

is michael jackson there too? lol!

[trippendale742]

the girls ugly and is as thick as two planks!

[DZrache]

And I call the one at 3:47 the Pimp Grave.

[Eliseharris]

It really is an ostentatious tomb!

[DZrache]

Ooh my dad lives near there! It's a lovely place to go for a walk, I love where it's all over grown with the trees pushing over the stones. Anyway, I'll be wary of the goats next time :P

[oppositronic]

i heard mozart was buried in an unmarked grave. also he was a freemason.  i'm not sure if these two facts have been conclusively linked

[JerryLehane3]

This isn't your comedy style but I could imagine an American who would do a standup act in a graveyard and dubbing in CLUB NOISES and polite applause in the beginning,some Boo's and the comedian chides them,afear dead joke insults "Oh BooooooH -yeah like I NEED this gig!" and then proceeds to "win them back",last shot you see ghosts rising up(camera effects) in faint slow-mo images/applaud end ofshow."Thanks,you've been a great audience.See you on the other side" then comedian's headstone(slowMo

[CryptidHunter13]

Actually, you should respect the dead. It is genrally kinder, and there HAVE been cases of Graverobbers and others not respecting the Last Wishes of those whom have passed having bad luck, being haunted, and having strange and often life-ending experiences. I'm just saying, respect the dead.

[Eliseharris]

There is a vast difference between grave-robbing and gentle ribbing. How do you know whether or not the dead have a sense of humour? I would hope they do, if they have any sort of after-existence, they are a long time dead.

[CryptidHunter13]

The dead don't really have a woken consioucness really, it's more like a long sleep. When you disturb the graves, you may often wake them. And they are dead, and those ones are ancient. Most have no care for what it happening on the plains of the living.

To put simply: You are waking the dead, and that like waking a person with a hangover: They wake up, and are GENERALLY pissed.

And the dead have SOME influence on our plane of existence, so it really wouldn't be wise to aggrivatre them.

[Eliseharris]

I did not walk on any of the graves and took care to stay to the paths. The crypt thing was unoccupied (not sure why it was open - it was a bit creepy). The sort of graveyard this is is one where it was very common to use it as a park/playground in the 19th and early 20th century, or as a place to take a walk - Victorian cemeteries are more like theme parks. I had some spooky experiences as a kid where it could be said they were 'hauntings' etc - I have lost patience with the whims of ghosts!

[fromfun2agony]

as i always say, let the living live, and let the dead stay that way. why are you so pessimistic? come on, it's not like they were upturning anything or rummaging through anyone's grave. they weren't doing anything to mess with your ghosty friends, alright? leave the woman alone!

[CryptidHunter13]

I'm not pessimistic, im giving a warning. Rember, there ARE more dead than living. She was in a graveyard. She was in THEIR enviroment, their forte. More importantly, if this happens, one can follow you home. In some cases, it soon goes from a regualar haunting, to a DEMONIC haunting, and eventually, the place becomes SO horridly haunted, it is un-inhabitable for anything more than a year.

[shamanorak]

thank the gods there are more dead than living. else it would be a very cramped planet!

[MsMiniMoo]

I love your accents so much.

You guys are great. (:

[MTGROUP200]

If a snake bit eliseharris the snake would die of poisoning.

[MTGROUP200]

It would be better if eliseharris was in the graveyard for good. At least 6 feet deep.

[fromfun2agony]

that's a terrible thing to say! relax, she's awsome and you're jealous!

[LoveMattersMost]

Much impressed by Ollie's encyclopedic knowledge of Monsters and Spooks in general!

"..What about generic monsters, of the Godzillary type in general?.." "..I'd say, that's exactly the sort of monter we would expect to find here!" --Genius! If I ever find my back to the wall in the odd, damp, Crypt or Cemetary, I want Ollie on my team too!

[trippendale742]

they fell asleep but they buried them anyway? i think thats a pretty sick joke. the family of that person likes to think of them as asleep. at eternal peace. i suggest you take it back. show some respect.

[Eliseharris]

I certainly did not film any graves of the recently deceased. They were all over a hundred years old (none later than the nineteenth century).

[NuCcCy]

hu hu hu hu hu spooooooooky ^^ great vid for people they have no hobbies ^^ xD like me ^^ haha

[LoveMattersMost]

Great look on your face at 1:08! : )

[LoveMattersMost]

Great fun! I'm fond of cemetaries too! I enjoyed hearing the Crows at 3:48. Crow calls fit into the cemetary atmosphere nicely. Your comments about escaping spirits/zombies and recently bricked graves was very funny! hehe : )

Now, wouldn't it be funny and scary for you to revisit the cemetary at dusk or at night, alone! W/O Brave Sir Ollie to protect you! On second thought. Don't do it. I don't want to lose you! ; ) Thanks for a fun Video! -Mr. B.

[Imboredandfree]

Bravo, bravo, bravo !

Friend for life ;);)

[CelticBeatleNarnian]

There Goats you mean Ghosts in American English but I like goats better.

[me2ontube]

quite an abrupt ending to that one

[JerryLehane3]

That was one of the most fun videos of yours to watch,even though for you it wasn't so fun in the rain.Your guided mini-tours of London area may be more famous than the veggie videos :) because they are closer to interactive in engaging the participation (active rather than passive)/reaction of the viewer. I also like the you:Ollie interaction moreso than one year ago you:Anna interaction.I'll only go into detail if you ask. I ghostwrote a Tom Petty song called Zombie Zoo(meaning graveyard):)

[MTGROUP7000]

You might find Geriatric1927 buried there.

[trippendale742]

oh shut up

[snapshotofharlech]

" get a job , the both of you " LOL

[Eliseharris]

Not sure that would affect our Sunday afternoons!

[DoctorGregbert]

You go girlfriend! /snap

Also: Scary.

[flomartoo]

Thank's

[FOSEEBOY]

''Eleanor Rigby''......''died at the church and was buried along with her name''......(nobody came)

[FOSEEBOY]

Are you SURE Ollie isn't your man??....(lol)

[flydarling]

Those goats leaving the graves have obviously made the ground unstable that's why all the stones were tipped about topsy turvy. I think those winged monsters probably envy beautiful flying angels and deliberately knock their arms off whenever they are due to carry off some woman who has just fallen asleep. Thanks for sharing the funnies and the willies! Cheers, Lesley

[BarryAldridge]

I remember Nunhead cemetery. I love graveyards, they are scary. Nice ending.

[johnswackyworld]

a perfect place for marysiak kay to relax! LOL

[acallaway1957]

You didn't see any Warmies in there, did you? ;-)

[Eliseharris]

They might have been hiding. Though it was a bit cold for them!

[acallaway1957]

Aren't they supposed to warm the place up? I thought that's why they're called Warmies...

[TwilightAngelftw]

The ending was funny! I love graveyards.

[robrobbins]

Ah, you must be one of those goths that hang out at cemeteries. You don't use much eye shadow for a goth.

[4ofSwords]

Very Grave Indeed. You were quite scared there Elise, exciting isn't it. At University, my friends and I used to go and camp out over night in abandon Graveyards in the wheat fields, really creepy sometimes.

[AlyAndCate]

lol!

[cw3030]

Truly it must be said that I hope the residents of said graves are dead otherwise damn like thats weird man

[lapislazuline]

wow!what a fantastic graveyard! you should

get a light on your camera and go there

at night!

[Merooba]

Awesome video, and witty as always!

I think that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" had a whole episode devoted to goats, didn't it? :-)

Elise, you never tell us whether Cambridge or Oxford had the honour of hosting your matriculation. Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, and Hugh Laurie were all at Cambridge, so I'm guessing you were there (many years after they were, of course :-) ).

[Eliseharris]

I applied for Cambridge but my mother wouldn't give me the bus fare to get to the interview because she said I had no chance of getting in.

[Merooba]

It was their loss. (Though I trust you're joking about your mum.)

[Eliseharris]

Sadly, no.

[majesticmeteor]

I'm still melancholy about how you mum informed you that they's no use or money in a first published novel by a non Cambridge lass like you, LOL!

Carry on with it anyway missie.

[Jersey526]

Goats?

[amistrymister]

its really funny you talk to olly like hes 5!!!!

[morris111222]

throughout, especially at the begining and the end theres a really eerie noise...lol....aaaand, what interesting day, was it

'ooo, I know...let's go around that park graveyard?'

[FATMIME]

I thought something or someone was going to pop out at the very end of the video.

[Eliseharris]

So did I! There really was a sound.

[PercyBeanProductions]

Hello Elise. How are you?

[letsgoandhavesomefun]

I'm very good thankyou =]

[Eliseharris]

I am pretty good. It was pretty wet and cold in that cemetery though.

[majesticmeteor]

Yeah I was thinking you should've had a tight knit stocking hat on or a hoodie pulled up.

I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not, but the Turmeric spice seems to be keeping me free of colds and sinus irritation. And raw garlic chased down with milk and ginger ale.

[sailindude]

your funny in your own sort of way heeh

[craigybus1]

You for got to say the werewolves may be American...Remember the cheesy film?

[majesticmeteor]

Oh that is SO cool. America is so young that there's only a few graveyards in the northeast with 16th Century(1700s)dates.

Is this the place where you filmed the beginning and end of your "I Was Never Young" film?

Yes, I do believe that when tree roots are pushing up under the stones it's unstable.

[Eliseharris]

No, that was Abney Park in North London. There are a a few Victorian 'park' cemeteries dotted around London. Highgate is probably the most famous and elaborate. This is Nunhead.

[majesticmeteor]

The guy at channel delbhoye has a nice vid of the Non Conformist cemetery called Bunhill Fields. People leave coins on William Blake's grave!

It would be illegal to go inside that mausoleum at the end here, wouldn't it? Cute how you actually looked startled and geeking out when you ran at the end, ha.

For the record, the oldest date of death stone I've seen is a 1865 stone of a Civil War causality. It has a little fence around it in the middle of a corn field.

[delbhoye]

Thanks for the plug, dude!

[majesticmeteor]

Whoops, that was a brain fart. I meant to say that 18th Century (1700s) gravestones are about as old as a person will see in America.

Most 17th Century (1600s) cemeteries in America were private family plots that eventually got plowed under.

[TheThomasShow]

If you go there on a saturday night you can have a drink in the crypt bar and watch boris & the crypt kicker five eh great vid Elise

[danoinreno]

BOO !!!
