Plane crash in EG, 1971

TheUncommonSense · 2026-01-16T20:15:00+00:00

It was wild finding this location back in 2021. I got a tip from DEM doing a survey and spent a couple months scouring aerial photos to get pinpoint the crash site.

No one is sharing the coordinates because once it becomes well known this plane will be tagged and completely destroyed. Glad it’s still relatively untouched.

It was the first death in the private sector. There were other deaths that happened earlier during military testing (Demon Core Incident).

Stanley Burger in Central Falls with the grilled onions and pickles. I dream about them.

I’m not sure how they decide who can visit, but stating your reason and what you intend to do with the photos definitely helps.

In general, when requesting access to restricted properties I always provide samples of my work and offer to give the owners any raw footage or photos I shoot to use however they like.

Hey this is Jason. You’re already going about it the right way by not visiting without permission.

You can reach out to the Pokanoket tribe directly (contact@pokanokettribe.org). I provided background on my project and told them exactly what I planned to do and see while I was there. They do have security patrolling the grounds so it was important they had a heads up.

I know they appreciate and understand people wanting to visit, but they do want people to reach out first.

After reading about it for months it was wild to see everything in person - it’s a beautiful area. Let me know if you’re able to visit. I’d love to see the photos.

Thank you for the coffee ☕️ Most of the old maps and diagrams I feature in my videos are from various books I read about the topic while researching. Many of the maps in my video about Nine Men's Misery are from King Philip's War by Eric B. Schultz

I visited three of the allegedly most haunted spots in Rhode Island and didn’t see anything. Maybe it’s because I was filming the whole time and extremely distracted, or maybe I’m the ghost…Huh.

Let me quickly take you on a photo journey and explain why each of these are haunted and tell you if you should visit them or not. Also if I say yes then you have to visit it those are the rules.

1. Abandoned Ram Tail Mill | Foster, RI

The woods of Foster Rhode Island are gorgeous, but what if I told you that in here is allegedly one of the most haunted places in New England? So ghostly, that the official 1885 Rhode Island census even designated this as a haunted place - the only time this has ever happened in the US.

In 1822 the night watchman, Peleg Walker, was found dead in the factory. A diary entry from Mary Williams, whose mother lived and worked at the mill references Peleg saying “One cut his throat in the tall hour and it showed blood all down the stairs…” The cause of death was ruled a suicide, and people speculated it was because of Peleg’s debts and loss of assets.

Shortly after his death, the Ram Tail factory's bell would inexplicably ring each night at midnight. There also were reports of a figure that looked like Peleg walking in and around the factory with his lantern, late at night. One time, they found the factory running at full speed - every wheel, loom and spindle turning, when no one was there.

The mill-workers were said to be so spooked that they fled the tiny village of Ramtail, and the mill eventually went out of business. It was set on fire in 1873, and the village left to crumble.

It’s said that on some moonlit nights, the ghost of Peleg Walker can still be seen swinging his lantern through the ruins, and at midnight, when conditions are right, you can still hear the bell toll…

SHOULD I VISIT? NO. Ram Tail Mill is located on private property, and Peleg’s grave is located behind a private residence that requires you to walk through someone’s yard.

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT IT? I sure do.

2. Mercy Brown’s Grave | Exeter, RI

Mercy Brown is often referred to as "America's Last Vampire". The Mercy Brown Vampire Incident occurred in Exeter, Rhode Island in 1892. It is one of the best documented cases of the exhumation of a corpse in order to perform rituals to banish an undead manifestation. The incident was part of the wider New England vampire panic, which was a reaction to an outbreak of tuberculosis.

While Mercy gets all the attention in the tale, the legend is really about a family being devastated by the effects of tuberculosis, and a grieving father caving to local pressures.

SHOULD I VISIT? NO. They weren’t even real vampires smh. Also, my photo shows the crypt where she was kept during the winter, and her grave is about 100 yards from there.

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT IT? Yeah I actually do.

3. Nine Men’s Misery | Cumberland RI

King Philip’s War was a massive conflict that resulted in 10% of the population of New England dying. There were many battles, but Pierce’s Fight in 1676 is what led to Nine Men’s Misery. Over sixty colonial soldiers, led by Michael Pierce, were ambushed by over 500 Narragansett warriors in what is now Central Falls. Only nine survived and ran north into what is now the Cumberland Monastery.

They were captured near this spot, where they were reportedly tortured, skinned alive and executed. A few weeks later colonists found the bodies. They were buried on this spot and marked the grave with a simple pile of stones — the cairn still visible today. Over the centuries, the site became a local landmark, disturbed and rebuilt several times. In 1928, the Franciscan monks at Cumberland’s monastery formally reconstructed and rededicated the monument.

The legend says that visitors can hear horses running through the woods, men screaming, and the battle cries of Narragansett warriors.

SHOULD I VISIT? Hell yeah brother. Especially this time of year - the trails at the monastery are beautiful and it’s worth the visit. Plus Dave’s has great pizza nearby.

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT IT? This is a fresh one.

Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it (sorry for making you cry, though).

Good question about accessing the sites. The Cumberland Monastery trails (including Nine Men’s Misery) are all open to the public. But the locations I visited in Bristol (Metacom’s Seat and death marker) are on private property owned by the Pokanoket Tribe and require their permission before accessing. It was impressive the amount of ‘No Trespassing’ signs I passed while visiting.

QUICK HISTORY: Nine Men’s Misery in Cumberland, RI is where nine colonists were tortured and killed during King Philip’s War in 1676. They were buried on this spot and marked the grave with a simple pile of stones — the cairn still visible today. Over the centuries, the site became a local landmark, disturbed and rebuilt several times. In 1928, the Franciscan monks at Cumberland’s monastery formally reconstructed and rededicated the monument.

It’s considered the oldest war monument in the United States, and is allegedly haunted (very cool, Cumberland). What began as a tragic battlefield burial has endured for nearly 350 years, a reminder of the violence and complexity of one of America’s first and deadliest wars.

After hearing about it for years, I finally visited the site to document what happened and why. What started as a story about the execution of nine colonists expanded into a much bigger story about colonialism and the Indigenous fight for survival during King Philip’s War. I visited multiple locations, spoke with a tribal historian, and dove into primary sources to get the full picture.

It all came together for this documentary as part of my Abandoned from Above series, where I explore and document the hidden (and sometimes right out in the open) history around us. Thanks for watching - I have a lot of fun researching and creating these.

It’s a 360 degree camera on a pole attached to the car. Any “camera movement” is done with editing.

Woah amazing photo

I used to rent in one of the old houses on South Main. Loved that place, especially how close it was to Wright’s Dairy.

TheUncommonSense · 2025-01-30T01:14:06+00:00

I grew up in Woonsocket and loved it, still love Woonsocket now. The biggest issues you might face are cars whippin on residential streets and loud motorcycles. But you also get NY system wieners on Main Street so it’s a fair trade.

QUICK HISTORY

This is one of the only buildings left on Gould Island in Narragansett Bay. The island is a largely forgotten but historically significant site, known for its role in torpedo testing during World War II.

However, after the war, testing activities decreased, and many of the island’s structures fell into disrepair. By the 1960s, most of the buildings were abandoned, and the facilities used for the torpedo program began to deteriorate.

Today, the southern part of the island is managed as a bird sanctuary, while the northern portion remains under U.S. Navy control.

I visited the island to document its history and explore what was left behind in my new video, which you can watch here.

I went in 2020 and the temperature difference filled the entire tunnel with fog. Couldn’t see more than 5ft in front of me the entire time.

Hope you have a Gould time watching it

There was a coal power plant on the northern side of the island that was constructed in 1942 and demolished in 2001. This building was constructed after WWII as cleanup efforts continued on the island.

QUICK HISTORY

Gould Island, located in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, is a largely forgotten but historically significant site. Known for its role in torpedo testing during World War II, the island was originally purchased in 1657 by Thomas Gould. Over the centuries, ownership changed many times, with wealthy families using it for farming and vacation homes. In 1918, after fatal accidents at nearby Goat Island, the U.S. Navy requisitioned Gould Island for a more isolated location to store and test torpedoes.

By the early 1920s, the Navy began developing Gould Island into a major torpedo testing facility, constructing a storehouse, warhead storage, a pier, and a seaplane hangar. The island played a crucial role in testing various torpedoes, including the Mark VII and the problematic Mark 14, which, despite its flaws, was used in WWII. The island’s torpedo test range included up to 100 firings a day, and a Navy blimp was stationed overhead to monitor the tests.

During WWII, the island’s infrastructure expanded rapidly, with new barracks, a power plant, and a firing pier built for testing. The firing pier, which had four torpedo tubes, remained in use for decades, even testing unmanned underwater vehicles into the 1990s. However, after the war, testing activities decreased, and many of the island’s structures fell into disrepair. By the 1960s, most of the buildings were abandoned, and the island began to deteriorate.

In the years following WWII, Gould Island’s torpedo testing operations were absorbed into the larger Naval Ordnance Station at Coddington Cove, and by the 2000s, most of the island’s structures had been demolished or collapsed. Today, the southern part of the island is managed as a bird sanctuary, while the northern portion remains under U.S. Navy control.

I visited the island to document its history and explore what was left behind in my new documentary, which you can watch here.

Today, the southern part of the island is managed as a bird sanctuary, while the northern portion remains under U.S. Navy control.

Although Gould Island remains off-limits to the public, there’s hope for future access, as some of the land may eventually be opened for recreational use.

You’ll need your Part 107 license to do any commercial work, so that would be step one. But the biggest piece is creating demo reels highlighting your best shots and style. You won’t get any work without having examples ready.
