same! I would stay outside in the woods all day and evening. I never saw anything of "high strangeness" but it's definitely a beautiful place with a lot of history and great people. those woods raised me well lol
I grew up near Northfield, MA. My grandma always told me that "Satans Kingdom" was named that because in the winters (at the time before there was a bridge over the Connecticut River) "Satans Kingdom" inhabitants could not make their way into town to attend church. The Church at the time said those families were blasphemous for not attending Sunday mass. There was always a secondary story that the smoke from the cabins could be seen from across the (CT) river which Main St. Northfielders thought to be Satan-worshiping fires. The people were likely just trying to stay warm and couldn't get to church because the river was frozen.
I was born in Massachusetts, lived here most of my life. I live only 15 miles away from the Massachusetts "Satans Kingdom" and never even heard of it until now. Great video on the history of "Satans Kingdom" and "Satan's Kingdom" 's, now I also know there are more than one and the most likely reasons the areas were named as such. Great job on the research and high production quality of this video! Thank you.
Outside of the indigenous peoples, Quakers had it the worst in the New World! All because THEY DANCED! (It's more complicated then that, but saying it that way conjures the idea of a ye ol Footloose in rural Massachusetts!) Also still feel hype about throwing you money to watch this channel grow! Can't wait for the next one!
Maybe I will talk about Quakers at some point! I did have a print of Quakers being whipped I found for this video, but I never used it in the video. I just finished "Albion's Seed" by David Hackett Fisher which had a very interesting section on Quakers. They were apparently weirdly into mysticism. I also have a few Pennsylvania related topics I want to cover in the future so maybe they'll turn up there!
Your mention of 'The Crucible' reminds me of Diana West's 'American Betrayal'. It also reminds me of a group high school book report I had to do that blessedly got cancelled. Still feel bad about what happened to that teacher. Interesting video! I didn't know about any satans kingdoms (that's what I get for living on the opposite end of the country); honestly thought the video was going to be on the Jersey Devil and its ilk or some such. Glad to see I was completely wrong and it was on something even more esoteric!
If you want an interesting New England cryptid, I like the Dover Demon. He's a weird little one. But I do try to strike deep with my videos so I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised!...Also, do I want to know about the teacher?
@@Pseudiom It was a fairly elite public school so no physical abuse but from what I pieced together afterwards she was new and our high school had a standing group of classes made up of just the trouble makers that would get rotated around between teachers. She got it that year somehow. I was in her only Junior class which she told us was her best class. It shocked me as out of a class of ~30 guys I only had respect for 3 or 4. So I didn't believe her until one of the Sophomores in another class hocked a lugie into her morning bowl of cereal. She left after one year. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look it up.
Maybe! I give him a listen, see what I can find, and think about it. Can't promise anything and even if I do it won't be for a while, but I'll give 'em a chance.
It's weird how all of this got flipped in the oppsite direction, like how e idolize the woods for their mystique and the puritans themselves became the horror. Hel,, the description of the native americans being one with the forrest and fighting like wolves sounds badass as hell and I hope noone accuses me of cultural apropriation for envying that.
Nah, you're fine. Its an interesting historical quirk. As I said, a large amount of American horror was derived from both sides of the New England colonization. Both the fear of "society" (in certain terms) and what rests beyond it.
Very nice Digging. I did not know there where 3! I should have though, but the puzzle keeps getting bigger the more years that go by. Every time I think that thats all to it, some other clue shows up. Should I tell? I think its bigger than anything I could imagine and I did not know of the Captain Kidd story. But it is just like this strange puzzle I have stumbled across to slowly reveal itself bit by bit. All i can say at this time is, it seems to have a very ancient feel to it. Very Masonic!

Sailing/rowing that far up the Connecticut River to bury treasure isn't impossible, but unlikely. It gets pretty narrow at critical points, and you'd have to pass through two large colonial settlements, as well as be exposed to whatever remained of the Nipmuc tribe. Whereas even to this day, there's plenty of completely uninhabited land at the southern end of the river, nearer the ocean. The Vermont border is no place for a sea captain.
Crypto Jewish not really Christian as they followed Old Testament law and doctrine. Again, not Christians but not unlike many so called “Christians” of today who don’t know the gospel neither have any clue what Gods will is these days. I wonder who or how they were ever labeled as Christian in the first place. Please correct me if I’m wrong but none of the beliefs we hear about are really Christian but are more false teaching than ever
i spent my whole child hood wandering around woods in new england and I'm proud of it, this place is beautiful
It is, I' missed it.

My wife and I have hiked through the Northfield's "Satan's Kingdom" a few times. It's a lovely piece of woodland.
I swear this channel needs like 80 thousand more subs at the least.
I'd like more subscribers, but I'm not going to make a deal with the devil for them. Read too much about that.
Why, his arrogant ignorant tone does it for you?
Woah ho perfect. Halloween time, and I live in New England, now to be educated by some spooky horror lore
Pseudiom is literally too good for his subscriber count
I labor for the pleasure/information of my viewers.

I grew up in Winter Harbor, ME and I heard about that story from a kooky teacher! ❤
Always great to see another upload from you, Pseudiom. One of my favorite creators on this site!
Glad you enjoy it!
You still hear about "supernatural" rock throwing from bigfoot hunters.
Interesting. I guess there's just something in the woods...

whaaat same here i was just checking google maps lmfao local history is so sick I love it :))
I am once again offering my words to the algorithm, may they bless this video
this must be before he went down to Georgia
The forests and factories of New England are haunted as fuck. Nice video good work on the presentation
True.
I grew up in Winter Harbor, ME. ...yeah....
I can't believe one of the satan's kingdoms became so cursed it became a water park
(Shivers)
Its a real Hell on Earth.
Wonderful subject. I am continually amazed at the eclectic range of subjects you cover.
The truth is I just get board of one subject easily. Lol.
Ooppi

Phenomenal video! Very interesting topic! :)
Nice video!
Its great to see an objective and coolheaded explanation of an often exaggerated topic
Such a Good Video, and Very important for historical context of our countries
Thank you! I like small bits of folklore like this. Important its not forgotten.
Always great. Hope all is well.
Great video once again! Have a comment to hopefully satisfy the algorithm spirits.
A video about Clem Tholet/Rhodesian war folk songs would be nice.

As if Satan could be suppressed to just two kimgdoms
I, in fact, believe Satan is a very large individual.

Bravo. Would it be possible to point us to further reading?
Really good video man, keep it up
Your videos are really good for inspiration
Maybe they were areas where people disappeared in the woods like today's disappearances. You do not know.

Oh hey this is close to new york now, I bet I will get to see where it is.

There's one in NY too.
Of course Mr. Satan has multiple kingdoms he's the devil he lives the high life
Nah he needed the land to train to fight Cell
Satan’s New England kingdom; don’t You mean New Jersey?
Right? 😂

Looks like the Puritans exalted the devil, perhaps not doctrinally dualistic, but definetely culturally.
If I sacrifice a goat to Him in the deep woods, will He place this video on many homepages?
UA-cam's more like a Lovecraft God... so maybe.
Really like this video
One of your weakest takes into. Love many of your videos. Thanks for sharing your opinions and thoughts.
DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (😢)2006
The only good things that the puritans gave us were Melville and Hawthorne.
No, they were a good people.
31 and still afraid of the dark😂 maybe I’m a puritan
I'm on it baby angel Jessica laduy gaga

They did believe in the divinity and resurrection of Jesus, so not Jewish. They were an offshoot of Calvinism with a heavy belief of predestination.
@@krism.6598
So they were just unfamiliar with the gospel of grace?
@@krism.6598 The true Jews became Christians, the "Judaism" now is the continued lies of the Pharisees. Jews were never ever universalists.
