@WardenWolf 11 ай бұрын

Here's my theory on the wolf stone: while the White Witch nickname was probably a joking term of endearment during her lifetime, and her husband simply placed it as a wolf stone, most likely the legend grew over the decades and centuries since she passed, and this prevented her wolf stone from being harvested.

@anthonyohara1484 Жыл бұрын

Mary Nasson was the wife of Samuel Nasson. She had been a successful and respected herbalist in the community, and she was also skilled at performing exorcisms. Her portrait is said to be the carved portrait that adorns the top of her headstone. Legend states that Mary was a witch and was executed. Her grave is known as "Witch's Grave," and it is reported to be haunted and that the large stone slab emits heat. Mary's husband erected a headstone, a footstone, and then placed a heavy stone slab between them, covering the ground over her body. The legend goes that the stone was placed there to keep her from crawling out of her grave. Historians disagree, saying that Mr. Nasson placed the slab there to keep cattle from damaging the grave. Whatever the reason for the slab, it is the only one of its kind in the entire cemetery. To add more fire to the legend, crows which frequent the cemetery in the summer are reported to be Mrs. Nasson's "familiars," still paying tribute to her. The inscription on the headstone: "Here liest quite free from Lifes Distressing Care, A loving Wife A tender Parent dear Cut down in midst of days As you may see But - stop - my Grief I soon shall equal be when death shall stop my breath And end my Time God grant my Dust May mingle, then, with thine.

@Elysian777 Жыл бұрын

He obviously loved her a great deal. Also since she is buried on 'hallowed' or blessed ground of a churchyard, she wasn't executed as a witch.

@VRed37 Жыл бұрын

The slab being used to keep the cows off (and I imagine pigs too) makes more sense than wolves. Ergo the low stone fence around the church yard.

@helencheadle5285 Жыл бұрын

Chris said that she died shortly after giving birth to her 6th child, yet someone else says she was executed?? For being a white witch?? I live in the U.K. and in Lancashire witches were given horrible trials….and ducking stools were even used. The witches were tied on a chair or stool at the end of a long piece of wood over a pond or deep water…then they ducked her under and held her there for maybe ten minutes,….if she came up alive she WAS. Witch and was then burnt at the stake, but if she drowned they declared she wasn’t a witch,..there were other cruel things done, but just ridiculous ideas .. with regards to this lady, I wonder where her husband was buried, or if he went on to marry again and is with that wife. I also agree that there is a lot of space around her, but I’m sure there will have been burials. Most people at that time were too poor to have a grave stone erected…her husband did this one for her, but probably had contributions from people she had helped. Other grave stones there I imagine came from a later period, when people either had more money, or were wealthy to start with. Just my thoughts from having visited churchyards here in the U.K. which are similar. Only way to be sure is to use a sonar (?) machine over the space and it would show anomalies where soil has been disturbed at some time or some remains or coffin can still be picked up. It’s nice that people still visit her.and leave little gifts. Thanks Chris, I agree with other viewers, your knowledge and history details really make your videos extra interesting.. 👏🏻👏🏻 Warmest regards from over the Pond! 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🙏🦋🦋🦋🦋😘

The Raid on York (also known as the Candlemas Massacre) took place on 24 January 1692 during King William's War, when Chief Madockawando and Father Louis-Pierre Thury led 200-300 natives into the town of York (then in the District of Maine and part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, now in the state of Maine), killing about 100 of the English settlers and burning down buildings, taking another estimated 80 villagers hostage. The villagers were forced to walk to Canada, New France, where they were ransomed by Capt. John Alden Jr. of Boston (son of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the Plymouth Colony). One of those taken captive was a young Jeremiah Moulton, who would later gain notoriety during the Father Rale's War.

Super cool. I have been to that cemetery with my wife and kids and visited the “witch’s” grave (there wasn’t all that stuff on top). We went in the winter. Here’s the freaky thing. The entire cemetery was blanketed in snow except that grave which was barren. I had read about this in a book but didn’t believe it until I saw it. I’m sure there’s a rational explanation for this but it was still weird to see. Many cool things to see up here in NE but if you want a treat visit the Searles Castle in Windham NH. Not something you typically see here in the US.
