Jewish Waldheim Cemetery in Forest Park, Il is not just one cemetery, but a massive 200-acre Necropolis comprised of approximately 250 smaller cemeteries associated with different Synagogues, families and groups.
Because of this large complex, and the nearby, very large, Forest Home, Woodlawn and Concordia cemeteries make the city of Forest Park famously known as the "Village of Cemeteries" With its burials numbering around a whopping 800,000 compared to its current living population of around 14,000! 😱

Bohemian National Cemetery, Chicago, IL
This photo was taken at night with a small UV flashlight! It's not a filter! My friend and I were just strolling around after an event there and decided to try this out. I was pleased with the way they turned out!

Stark County, IL Potters Field

The meaning of the term "Potter's Field" is widely understood.
Ever wondered why it's called that?
In the time leading up to Christs Crucifixion, Judas guided Roman soldiers to Christ for his arrest. As a signal for them to seize him, Judas kissed Christ on the cheek. For this he received 30 pieces of silver. Afterwards, the torment of the betrayal was so severe that he eventually became overwhelmed by guilt and despair. He tried to return the money, but the priests refused it as they considered it blood stained. Judas dropped the money before the priests, walked to a nearby field and took his own life.
The Priests purchased the field from the potter who owned it using the silver Judas had returned. They then designated it as a burial ground for strangers, the unknown and those without family. Since then, individuals who are unidentified or have no friends/ relatives who claim them after they pass, are buried in what is now known as a "potter’s field."

Happy Christmas Eve!

#bachelorsgrovecemetery #cemeteryphotography #tombstonetravels #cemeterytravels #cemeterywandering

In October 2012 during a weekly trip to Bachelors Grove Cemetery in Midlothian, Il, my friend Karl K and I walked to what we named the "spooky tree" for the very first time. It is a large old tree that used to sit right on the creek bank a short distance from the cemetery. That day as we waked we talked of a Virgin Mary statue that was said to have sat in the tree for many years but was now missing.
A few weeks later, November 11, Karl, my daughter Sam and I took this same hike to the tree. On our way back Karl was a little bit ahead of us when he suddenly stopped. As he looked to his left imbedded in the creek bank was the statue we had talked about that first day.
I brought the statue home for Sam to clean up but found myself intrigued by it. I did some research and learned the history of Our lady Guadalupe.
I cleaned, painted and restored the statue over the next week. When I finished is when the real story begins. An amazing chain of events that changed my life and started a path to healing and a very intense spiritual connection.

HUGE CHRISTMAS SALE!!
Right NOW I am offering both of these books for $25 plus shipping.
If interested, message me with your zip code and I can look up the exact shipping cost!
I will also include a few small trinkets with the books and will gift wrap them (no charge) if you want!
I usually sell these for $20 a piece, My book alone still retails on Amazon and History Press site for 21.99!! I bought a huge lot of them last spring and am letting them go for less than what I paid for them!
Its a GREAT DEAL and
They make great stocking stuffers!!
Haunted Bachelors Grove The Path to Bachelors Grove
My photos and research are featured throughout this book. I bought a bunch of them to sell at conferences I attend with the Bachelors Grove Cemetery traveling exhibit.
I’ve always supported it as a fantastic, well written collaboration among many incredible Midwest, mostly Chicago-based, paranormal experts and enthusiasts!
Haunted Joliet Prison
My first book!! Ultimately, my work with Bachelors Grove Cemetery led me to meeting Old Joliet Prison, just south of Chicago in Joliet, IL! The entire wild tale unfolds in the book, complete with its rich history, ghostly encounters, and legends surrounding this fascinating location!
"The iron bars of Joliet Prison might once have held John Wayne Gacy, Baby Face Nelson and other notorious inmates as unwilling guests, but their stories now desperately cling to the limestone walls. After 160 years spent crammed with victims of misfortune and agents of mayhem, the grim landmark immortalized in movies like The Blues Brothers is now entirely given over to the gho of its past. Follow a singing ghost to the convict cemetery where thousands of unclaimed bodies are said to lie. Listen for the tread of Odette Allen, the warden’s wife who was brutally murdered in her bedroom on the second floor. Unlock the gates of Joliet Prison’s haunted heritage with Wendy Moxley Roe."
Message me with any questions or if interested!

Happy Birthday My love
Celebrating you and how amazing you are all day today-
You are one of the best men I have ever met, truly selfless, kind, and who takes care of everyone without ever complaining. You have literally changed my life in ways no one and nothing else could. I will spend the rest of my life making sure you know that every day and loving you as much and as hard as I can.
We have not had it easy, especially lately, but like you said now we have each other to get through it and we are happy!
Here's to many more years of birthdays and many other celebrations with all our loved ones.
"Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine
ever mine
ever ours"
😘🥰❤️‍🔥

After a recent visit to the Vietnam Veterans Wall in DC, and with this week dedicated to honoring Veterans, I’m sharing my 2019 blog about photographing the traveling wall replica memorial at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, IL. My bff and fellow cemetery enthusiast Wally drove to Mt. Carmel, just across the street, that day to take a drive through and check things out. We spotted the sign for the Moving Wall and were lucky enough to see it!
"The idea for the Moving Wall began in the mind of John Devitt. In 1982, Devitt, an Army Veteran and former Vietnam helicopter door gunner, made the trip to Washington D.C to witness the dedication of the Wall and to participate in a Salute to Vietnam Veterans. At the time he was unemployed, and it took the help of friends and family to make the trip. He fully expected to dislike the memorial but instead was so moved by it that he left D.C. with a mission to share what he experienced with people all over the country who could not make it to the capital.
Read the full story and see many photos of the moving memorial here:
