He kept the people together in the face of disease, tribal warfare and the English settlers. It is understandable they would associate the stone with him, but it was this recognition that may have trapped his son, Philip, to remain at Profile Rock.
After the death of his father Philip was forced to deal with intensifying problems with the English, other tribes and his own people. He often came to the mountain to seek guidance.
During the war it is said he went to the rock to mediate and meet with his war general, Anawan. No doubt he felt some connection to the place many claimed looked like his father, but he may have also used it to remind the people of his bloodline.
Massasoit had formed a tentative alliance with the English of Plymouth Colony, brokering the peace for decades before his death. He was known as a wise man and a resource, even in the next life, for policy and strategy and would have made a good counselor, even in death. This might account for the reports today of a man sitting in a praying position on the rock.
Patrick knew of Profile Rock from an early age. Aside from seeing it on the patches of the police in town, his father would bring him to the mountain when he went to paint landscapes of it. His father would sit for hours, trying to capture the perfect emotion of the place, and Patrick would play with the rocks and try to climb the trees. He had taken some classes before, but he was a cook. Not at all what you would think of as a painter, but he loved that place.
He painted other things, but he always went back to Profile Rock. It meant nothing to Patrick to climb the face of the stone. He had done it for as long as he could remember. In late the climb felt different. All those times with him and I always used the place as a playground. That day though, I think I felt what he was trying to say with those paintings. As he made it way up the rock, carefully placing each foot as he went, He felt the air change around him.
It became very warm, almost humid, and he found it hard to breath. He looked up to see someone looking down at him. He said the man had dark skin and no hair. The man extended his arm as if to help Patrick up, but when Patrick looked down to make sure his feet were secure, the man vanished.
Well, not wrong as much as out of place. I never felt threatened, but I knew I had seen a ghost. Rich saw Philip one afternoon while walking his dog back in He lived nearby and would take Jingle across the street and into the woods. He approached the rock, all the time looking at the profile. A figure slowly appeared, faint at first and then becoming solid. The man was sitting on the top and stood, extending his hands and then bringing them back to his chest.
He sat back down and slowly faded away. I saw that Indian and he [the dog] stopped and just stared at the guy. Most of the sighting follow the same pattern, and the experience leaves the observer with a profound sense of sadness. 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. The story of the hauntings may be the story of two soldiers and their final meeting with each other. It is also said he had a meeting with Anawan right before this, and it might be this meeting connecting the two allies over the centuries. Although he and his troops were promised amnesty, Anawan was executed upon his arrival in Plymouth.
It was the final betrayal in a war that prided itself on backstabbing and atrocities. The area of Rehoboth where he surrendered became known as Anawan Rock, and has a rich history of folklore and hauntings attached to it. Some residents report seeing lights at night in the swamps near the rock. A fire was also seen burning on the rock and then mysteriously disappearing.
After the publication of the book in , people began traveling to Anawan Rock to see the ghosts for themselves.
