    This was an insanely clever and fun video. Almost felt like a "greatest hits" of your channel. At least three times watching this i went "I KNOW THIS! ITS THE STONE IN THE FREEMASON BUILDING!" About halfway through the video I thought, "hey weren't we talking about a stone wall initially? Then it eventually all came back around, really exemplifying exactly what you meant when you said stories just kinda come to you through researching.
    I could watch your videos for hours

      I think my parents considered the vast woods pretty safe, and me and my siblings were supposed to accompany each other if we wandered, with strict instructions on how to escape stranger danger. Also, like every 90s/2000s kid, I knew how to escape quicksand, so I felt pretty confident 💀

      It'll never be the same, though. Pre-deforestation, the vast ancient forests across the NE were much more diverse in species, but regrowth after spawned blights and put advantage on faster growing tree species.

    that montage of the cemeteries next to all the modern buildings was just terrific! had me laughing just thinking about the ghosts going to dunkin' donuts for some shitty coffee and then sittin' and floating around bitchin' about how nobody remembers them, or that they can't read the tombstone anymore and it's quite upsetting, or just playing a game of counting all the red cars that go through the drive-thru (light grey for Bob cause he was colorblind when he was alive and still is as a ghost).
    this was a fun comment to type out.

And then you talked about graves in a car dealership lmao

    Heyooo from Salem, Ma! one of my favorite things to do as a New Englander is wandering about in the woods geocaching and looking at trees, exploring old cemeteries, and driving around looking for old undiscovered nooks and crannies in small towns so when I came across your new video about stone walls I had to watch immediately and I can definitely say you've earned a new subscriber! I've been working through more of your videos and I love what you're doing , man. I feel like you're talking directly to me.
    can't wait to go looking for some prairie trees once the snow is gone!
    you got a new patron in me, for sure as well.

I have not even checked out any of the other vids yet but I hope they are just as great as this one has been. This has been the best use of a work snow day ever lol

    Superb video Spivis, superb. I really mean it. I’m 11 minutes in and you are waxing on about a tree who watched its forest disappear then slowly watch a new one take its place. Really cool, if there’s one thing I like as much or more than history it’s trees. I’d imagine it’s cool to walk among that New England forest and stumble apon such a sentinel. You have to wonder, how many of those trees around are the children of such an old and storied tree? Must have been lonely with just the sheep to keep it company, I’m glad it can now spend its life among family. I know it’s just a tree but the stories they can tell without even a word, incredible, such a notion can bring a man to tears, the life and times that tree has witnessed. The goings on of birds and squirrels and sheep, events only a tree can witness. Events no history book would or could tell about.
    For my birthday I went to see the giant sequoias, it was almost a religious experience being around such ancient titans. And the stories they could tell? Some of them are perhaps as old as Rome, we don’t have enough time in our entire lives to hear the stories they could tell. What are we to them, living only decades to their thousands? Yet we have the power to end their reign, like an ant playing with an artillery gun.
    I always figured for someone who would appreciate trees, given how much of your videos take place among them. My brother and I send pictures of stand out trees to each other, or when we see a perticularly good tree one of us will remark “now thats a tree”. Anyways thanks for the beautiful trees/tree lore, I’m going to get back to watching.

    In Sweden there is an old folktale name for these glacial erratics translating to giants throw (jättekast). Basically that giants threw these boulders and often towards churches to stop the church bells ringing.

    As someone who grew up in rural Rhode Island, this video was very personally special to me in a lot of ways. I used to see stone walls all over the place and my dad even built his own on our property. I cleaned up two historical cemeteries as my Eagle project for Boy Scouts, and I've visited the vampire grave of Exetor.

    The revelation that I live in a deforested wasteland has been haunting me for the past year. Where I live used to be beautiful oak savanna, but is now 99% deforested, cleared for farmland. It's relatively recent too, less than 100 years ago they would just cut down ancient oaks and just burn them. We're lucky that there is one park that serves as a tantalizing reminder of the old growth forest, and it's achingly beautiful. There are 300-year-old black oak trees, maples, and even black cherry. You're right, they grow differently, straight up, straining to get above the canopy. It's a very different place from a park or young, second-growth forest. The scale of what we've destroyed is staggering, and it's gone forever. Thank you for discussing it.

    Leaving one tree in a large field also served as a surveyor's Tree. So many feet from the tree to the boundaries of said property. My sister lives in Vermont and one day we drove up a narrow dirt road to the top of a mountain. On both sides of this road were the typical stone walls where Italian farmers raised Merino sheep. Now the road has a few houses but the road is not maintained so in the Winter one is literally snowed in. All the once bare land up there is new growth forest,

    31:03 that metal bar around mercy's tombstone is actually there because her stone was knocked over multiple times. her body isn't even under there anymore. it's in the crypt at the front left of the cemetery. there's a brick that's bigger then the rest on the front of the crypt where her burned heart was supposably put in. legend says that if you touch it, mercy will follow you home

    I'm a Rhode Islander with a passion for these cemeteries and I'm so giddy that you mentioned them! It's such gems, so peaceful, and so full of history, and finding one randomly on the side of a road is a lot of fun! I've worked with my local city's historical societies to learn how to care for them and restore stones. And the cemetery tracking and organizational system is unlike anywhere else in the country. They have a website that tracks every known cemetery (which you found, based on the Google Maps image, but for anyone else interested), as well as those that are recorded but not found, and all new discoveries. I've spent hours browsing it, because some stones have stories about the individuals buried there. It's so fun! Thank you for mentioning these!
    If you're interested, someday, I'd love to see a video on James N. Arnold and his travels to various towns collecting historical data and all cemetery locations back in the late 1800's - early 1900's. He's a fascinating figure not many folks in my state know about. Could make for an interesting video.
