MEDIEVAL CISTERCIAN Abbey and a mausoleum VANDALISED, so WHERE are the BODIES?

[@TommyTheCat42]

Here in RI we have a Cistercian monastery that was built in 1900 with 500 acres of land around it. In the middle of the woods there’s a monument from the early 1600’s where 9 soldiers were tortured to death and buried on that very spot by native Americans. I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to ghosts but that place has an energy to it that’s very scary and you’re almost guaranteed to experience something on the property. I implore you all to look up Cumberland monastery in Rhode Island , I promise you will not regret it!

[@SerenitySueGraveyards]

Tommy, I've missed you ❤️ oh I believe in the paranormal and I can bet you that energy is from the torture that took place and the restless spirits that are still there, I've screenshot this, definitely will look it up now. Hope you're well

[@susanh3342]

I've heard about this. I live in Rhode Island, and the monastery is very active.

Anything to do with King Phillips War SE Massachusetts, Tiverton, R.I?

[@TommyTheCat42]

@@m.asquino7403 Yes, specifically Capt. Pierces fight on March 26 1676 when 20 Wampanoag warriors took out 60 Plymouth militia men in a surprise attack and handed the English one of their biggest defeats of the war. The energy of the site is like nowhere I’ve ever been, not even Salem, MA!

I love the old cemeteries and especially the ruins. We do not have things this old in the US. I imagine how Cistercian monks walked among the arches and walls hundreds of years ago. More of the magic that is Ireland. 💚☘️🇮🇪 Thank you, Serenity Sue, for taking us there.

Did you all get to see the millennial stone cleaner on KZbin? Thought you two would find it interesting. He even puts stones back to how they should be. Quite amazing. You need that sort of thing for the older headstones there. Old ruins really place the age. The dates going all the way into 1600’s 😮 My goodness !!!! Thank you, Sue for another Brilliant and Historical walk. I imagine in one or another of these cemeteries, people I met while over are buried as well. 😢❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✌🏼💜

No, they'd have been a full rectangular slab just on top of the grave, good question...I'd say there are more buried underfoot that have no markers

I’d rather see objects, like carved memorials, stairs leading to burial places, coffins, church interiors, mausoleum interiors, etc. Reading the inscriptions on headstones is meaningless to me. I’m sorry Sue.

[@susiejakes3019]

It was interesting to see on the Jones headstone that Richard Jones was killed during the First World War in 1916 in Mesopotamia which is in modern - day Iraq. His grandson Sergeant Richard Jones was killed in action in France in 1944, the Second World War.

[@cherylschantz9893]

Why? As a history teacher, I find it fascinating to think about how these people lived.

That's OK but the reason behind reading headstones is to remember those who have passed, having said that the abbey is beautiful and the mausoleum is also interesting
