Creepy Places of New England: The Rotating Ball of Grove Street Cemetery

Another stop in Connecticut leads us to Grove Street Cemetery, a fairly modern burial plot with an interests and strange tombstone with a large marble ball on top, that (for some unknown reason) has slowly been moving since 1930. I also show some other interesting tombstones. The wind is still there but not much of an issue this time, and there is plenty of humor.

I could explore the science and discuss plate tetonics with you...the possibility of this ball moving in con junction with the movement of the earth..or physionomics..but that would be boring...so hey..the bugger moves and continues to do so...very cool !!!

[NinjaCthulhu]

@Theghostswithin That was my mistake, I found out recently the ball has stopped moving since the 1970's

Lmao!! I am addicted to watching your vids!! You are helping out alot with giving me ideas of places to go when im bored :)

@ABC123MJJ2213 Thanks we try to show some cool places to see in the region

Since this ball would be very heavy, it could be like a faukault's pendulum, maintaining its position as the earth's or rotation change, so each time earth spins, it gets a little nudge.

Another thing might be expansion and contraction, or vibrations, from earth tremours, OR if someone is trying to get out of the tomb mahahaha. Ur video series is awesome!!!!!!

@CasanovaDave /the faukault's pendulum is very interesting.. sometimes what goes on in nature can be very mind-blowing too! thanks!

@IsaacClarke1000 it not i, goddamn keyboard

[IsaacClarke1000]

i dont think the hole was for reebar but i was a marker, maybe it is a sign

[Theghostswithin]

@NinjaCthulhu Who cares..very cool..I promise you...it will move again !!!x

the stone is not moving lol I work for a monument company and have seen this before.... I would tell the most ideal explanation for what is .... or is not happening to the ball, but it is rather boring and your responses are waaaaay more entertaining. Nice vids though love em.

@NinjaCthulhu @NinjaCthulhu Houghton pays kid to rotate sphere slightly every year in an attempt to create mystery and draw attention to his grave sight. Works for 50 years. Kid dies or looses interest in 1970. Mystery solved

@NinjaCthulhu It couldn;t be a Foucault effect because the pendulum relies on its incredibly low friction hinge to demonstrate rotation. The interface between the sphere and the base is obviously not low friction.
