The Haunted Hike In Rhode Island That Will Send You Running For The Hills
Rhode Island is home to so many haunted attractions! It’s also home to gorgeous forested areas, trails, and state parks. These two things come together at this haunted park with beautiful hiking trails. If you’re looking for an eerily unforgettable hike, this is the perfect place.
Colt State Park is nicknamed the "Gem of the State Park System" and is located in the historic deepwater seaport town of Bristol.
According to legend, the park was a large working farm until the 20th century and a farm hand perished in the former barn. It's said the ghost of this worker lingers in the park office and is responsible for slamming doors, turning lights on and off, and other terrifying behavior.
The second paranormal tale reports that two children drowned at the park. These two young girls allegedly follow hikers throughout the park with sounds of eerie laughter while attempting to scare visitors away.
