THIS EPISODE:
This is a story from Victorian days from long ago. A story of intrigue, romance and tragedy.
We start by exploring with the Faces Skycam out over Lake Michigan and fly in low to the the steep sloped shores of tycoon alley in Lake Forest, Illinois. This is the Mayflower Mansion, the home of tycoons — it was the home of the heirs to the Schweppes soda company dynasty.
It was Charles and Laura Schweppe whose family was pampered by Butler, maids, cooks, grooms, nurses, governesses, and served by coachmen & gardeners. It was a place of many gala parties, including spectacular events where princes and princesses, and Dukes and duchesses would stay and be entertained.
But this place has a sinister history. At the end of the south wing, within the second floor master bedroom, something horrible happened. The house sits empty for decades, for it is said to be haunted by the ghost of Charles himself.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
