I love how your channel has evolved over the years to include the history and even the mystery of the places that you visit and the people you talk about.

[@aj52495]

Only KZbinr that I can find that does this

[@Ole_CornPop]

2:43 who spotted the little girl that randomly comes from behind the tree?

[@HawkmanExplorations]

yes looks like a ghost

[@invay69]

Bro, In the minute 2:45 there's a little girl that starts walking coming out from one of the gravestones... Creepy!

[@God1Worshipper]

This is my first time commenting on your channels, never miss a video. Can someone please tell me if I'm seeing things at the 2:47 mark??? It looks like a little girl walking among the grave stones in the back.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

I'm sure it's a human, but was surprised at 2:47 when little girl with a pink dress was walking in the cemetery by herself 😅

[@pauldanich2775]

Good eye !

[@Nuthatch_23]

As soon as I saw her I went to the comments to scroll to see if anyone else saw her. Uh, Chris, was anyone in the cemetery with you?

[@angelsandbutterflies8528]

I'm wondering why there are hair ties left on the witch's grave? I've seen this other places but can't find any reference or explanations. Love your channel-great content and presentation!!🤩

[@samanthab1923]

I think it’s a nod to her being a healer. Nurses & doctors need to tie their hair back to work on folks.

[@ShootingStar6406]

I always wonder about the people who have passed before us, especially those buried in old cemeteries. I wonder what their lives were like and if I would’ve liked them as a person or not. I find it interesting.

[@M1STEROHARA]

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]

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]

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.

[@M1STEROHARA]

@@Elysian777 I do find it interesting like he said in the video, there are no graves around her. It makes you wonder why…..

[@JohnShinn1960]

@@M1STEROHARA The church and it's members were suspicious of her talents is why she was buried at a distance? (My educated guess.)

[@helencheadle5285]

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! 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🙏🦋🦋🦋🦋😘

[@RJelly-fi6hd]

2:46 the girl just appearing and disappearing...?!

[@pommydiva1]

arent white witches the good ones. i dont understand why they put a grave slab over her to stop her getting out. i thought it was just the black witches that are evil. Do you know the reason why so many people left trinkets on her grave? what is that all about? it is weird that only one other grave is closest to hers... unless over all the years the others have collapsed that may have been near her grave, and so grass just grew over them... who knows. thank you for an interesting video. look forward to more

[@WardenWolf]

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.

[@Liz-cmc313]

Love the bells. Sad so many women were persecuted for trying to help by using methods that have been used long before the 1700s. People were so superstitious back then. RIP Mary

[@emj1768]

IDK she isn't see thru like most spirits but where is her parent(s)? It is strange & I did hear a woman's voice after the floors comment too! Its VERY possible that there are earth bound spirits there that need help getting to the light! ❤

[@angeldaniel7360]

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.

[@winterburden]

There were other graves near hers 100 yrs ago, but they weren't notable so they were removed so the stones could be repurposed.

[@AMarchant]

Chris' partner sometimes makes brief appearances in his videos, and you can occasionally hear her voice in the background, such as when they're exploring a location along with journey_with _jay. Her voice sounds relatively muted, though, since Chris obviously has the recording device close in front of him. But I imagine that's what the microphone was picking up. No interest in prying into Chris' private life, but the small child that others have pointed out in the comments might have been under their supervision too.

[@keetahbrough]

I love these really old graveyards the best. They're so European. Foreign. I never research who the people were; I like to imagine. There's always an unusual amount of children's graves... everywhere in these graveyards, which only confirms for me, the worship and sacrifices that people have allowed, of their children, for this system of goods and services they've created. Ongoing and with colossal evil generated. Just to be clear, a REAL WITCH is only a medicine woman, who uses plants for her healing work. The 'accused' Witches of Salem and The Burning Times were simply women; their killers were all religious misogynists. The CRIMES that the rich establishment accuses Witches of doing, are literally what the rich Establishment is committing on children and women, themselves. There has been ZERO ACCOUNTING, of society, for these crimes. And they MUST take accountability, since it's their ongoing religiously cult-minded hatred that produced these eras in time.

My guess is that her grave was not separated back then but the other gravestones just disappeared over the time and were used otherwise. And another guess would be that these slabs disappeared from graves because people started to bury the bodies deeper down in the ground.

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.
