Truth Or Myth You Decide
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…
8-3-06 Investigation
Dave and I showed up at the site
around 11:30pm. We gathered our equipment and started up to the memorial.
Dave and I 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 also was taking pictures at the
other end of the memorial. It was very hot and there was a lot of crickets
in the area. We started to get the feeling that someone was watching us.
Dave asked me to walk over where he was standing. He asked me if I could
see or hear anything in that area. I stood there for a couple of seconds
and listened. I couldn't hear or see anything. 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 right in front of me to see if I could get
anything. A bright orb was floating next to the path going up to the
memorial. 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.
Conclusion
After I
went through the photos, I saw that there were a few bright orbs in the area
around us. Also a voice recording of someone saying "Listen for
screaming." Since that night was very active, I believe that there was a
spirit around us at the memorial...
