Join Brent (Bdog) and Nick as we hike the Cumberland Rhode Island Monastery at night to use ChatGPT as a medium or EVP device to connect with any spirits that may have been there. What will we come across?
The Nine Men’s Misery site in Cumberland, Rhode Island, is a historic and solemn location commemorating one of the earliest recorded war memorials in the United States. It marks the spot where nine colonial militiamen were captured, tortured, and killed during King Philip's War in 1676.
After a skirmish near Woonsocket, the men were captured by Native forces allied with the Wampanoag leader Metacomet (King Philip). They were taken to a hill in Cumberland and killed in retaliation for colonial actions against Indigenous peoples. Their remains were later discovered and buried by colonial settlers, and the site became a place of remembrance.
Today, the memorial, located near the Cumberland Monastery, consists of a stone cairn marking the burial spot. The site is imbued with historical significance, symbolizing the violent conflicts of early colonial history and the broader struggles of King Philip's War. It’s often visited for its historical importance and somber atmosphere.
