A legend is that in 1646, Richard Bourne came upon a few hundred natives dancing and offering sacrifices, one of which was human. Bourne lifted his arms and raised his voice, declaring “if you do not stop your horrible work I will call upon my God to visit his wrath upon you!” Suddenly, a flash of lightning split the rock into pieces. Immediately following this, hundreds of Indians converted. The rock, located near Bournedale, Massachusetts, is referred to as Sacrifice Rock or Chamber Rock
