History
In the summer
of 1780 Captain William Phillips, a captain appointed by colonel John Piper, was
given the honor of being accompanied by 10 men to search Morrison’s Cove and the
Woodcock Valley.
Captain
Phillips and the 10 men he got together set out July 15,1780,and marched from
the Cove up over the mountains, into the valley. All of the homes and the farms
were deserted. At the time there was no sign of any Indian life, but they
would be soon surprised. As the night crept up on them they found a
deserted home that belonged to Frederick Hester. Captain Phillips and his
ten rangers stayed the night and waited to the next day.
Sunday July 16, 1780, nearly breakfast time the men awoke to find
the entire home surrounded by Indians. With having 60 Indians surrounding the
home, and all of them armed the men silenced them to wait for any hostel
movement.
For reasons I
don’t know, one of the Indians open fired on the men. As it was self-defense,
the men open fired on the Indians Killing two, and injuring two others. All of
the rangers were not harmed in the fight. At the end, there was to many Indians,
and Captain Phillips surrendered. A few Indians took Captain Phillips and his
son, and the men hand their hands tied up and taken into the woods where after a
while they stopped and tied all of the rangers to trees. There bodies where
found with arrows sticking out of them, and scalped. They were all cut down and
buried at that site…

Dave and I showed up at the site
around 11:30pm. We gathered our equipment and started up to the memorial.
We used 2 Digital Cameras and 2 Digital Voice Recorders. We both felt that
there was something strong among us. I started asking questions and taking
pictures from every angle. Dave was taking pictures at the opposite end of
the memorial. The investigation became questionable because it was humid and the
crickets around the area were chirping loudly. As we were preparing to
pack up the equipment a a feeling of another being became strong among us.
Dave motioned for me to come over to where he was standing and asked me if I
could hear anything. Apparently he could hear something moving through the
woods. As I was getting my camera ready for another picture, I noticed
that there was a small white mist moving along the ground. I quickly took
a picture and noticed I didn't capture anything. I asked Dave if he saw
anything, and he said no. I started moving around the front of the
memorial, asking them if they could show themselves. I took a picture in
front of me, and to my surprise a bright orb appeared on my camera. I have
gotten that same orb before, so I started to follow it hoping to get more.
At the end of the investigation I had only one picture that I knew I could keep.
I really wish I would of gotten more pictures that night of what ever was near
me. I have gotten the same orb at the last few investigations. Maybe
sooner or later I will get what I need... But until then our team will
still investigate that area.
