“I don’t know what I saw, but the whole thing seemed wrong. Well, not wrong as much as out of place.
I never felt threatened, but I knew I had seen a ghost."
“Jingle saw him too. He can’t tell his story, but I know he saw something. He’s always moving his
head side to side and pulling me forward. I saw that Indian and he [the dog] stopped and just stared
at the guy.”
It is said Philip spent the night before his death at Profile Rock, maybe even knowing his fate. After
early successes in hit and run battles, the Wampanoag were feeling the momentum of the war shift.
Philip must have seen this himself, and it is almost certain he knew he would not live much longer if
the English continued to win the war. If it was not the next day, eventually he would fall, and the
realization of this might have been enough mark the rock with his anxiety.

| Across from the state forest is the most recognizable image in all of Southeastern Massachusetts; Joshua's Mountain, also known as Profile Rock. This rock formation in the shape of a Native American thought to be Massasoit, has been the site of numerous ghost sightings. Could King Philip still be in Freetown trying to win an impossible war or is there something else hidden in the stone? |
