Curiosity and Action

I found this Graveyard during a moonlit drive last night. The huge church was lit with green light and it looked so eerie in the distance that I followed a hunch that there would be a graveyard attached and drove towards it. My curiosity was rewarded when I pulled up to the church and discovered this cool little 19th century cemetery. It looked so eerie and weird at night that I had to go back and stomp it during the day. The whole thing inspired a discussion of following your curiosity and exploring things that give us a sense of adventure.

The video starts when I'm still on my Harley and the wind is deafening for about 30 seconds. It dies down for the rest of it though.

You Give it Meaning.

Calvary Cemetery. A haunting legend. The question of what gives your life meaning...

Make Your Life Extraordinary!

Join Corin White, The Gravestomper, on a mini tour of the rather unusual Queen of Heaven Mausoleum In Hillside, Illinois. The mausoleum houses 20,000 corpses and is three stories. The space is filled with a strange collection of images relating to punishment and suffering--a reminder that life is short, and that we needen't make ourselves suffer any more than we already do.

Be open to Surprise

Adventure through this wonderful little cemetery in Lake County, IL with Gravestomper, Corin White, who encounters a surprise when he arrives...

It's Halloween...Face your fear....

A couple of weeks ago I found myself in the neighborhood of Rosehill cemetery. Since I had my camera, I just had to do an impromptu stomp thru this largest mausoleum in Chicago. In 1914 construction began on this massive mall of death. It houses one of the largest collections of TIffany glass anywhere and has some wonderful haunting history attached to it. Notabale Chicagoans John G. Shed, Aaron Montgomery Ward, Richard Warren Sears, Jack Brickhouse et all are buried here.

Part 1 of this stomp starts in a dark, black corner of the crypt's basement which brings up the subject of facing your fears. Some very interesting glass windows are illuminated in this dark crypt. I filmed it this way for a reason...it's only dark for a minute or two before the halls are very visible. Parts II and III follow. While in the mausoleum I noticed that the camera batteries were drained very quickly or I would have filmed at least three more parts. Happy Halloween: Enjoy!
