You’ll find Rhode Island’s most haunted ghost town, Hanton City, hidden in Smithfield’s forests—a settlement founded around 1676-1677 that was abandoned by the 1850s, leaving only crumbling stone foundations and Native legends. Napatree Point‘s summer colony vanished entirely when the 1938 hurricane’s 125 mph winds killed fifteen residents and buried Fort Mansfield’s ruins beneath sand. The Ramtail Factory in Foster echoes with reports of Peleg Walker’s ghost, while forgotten cemeteries mark King Philip’s War casualties. The remnants tell stories that colonial records alone can’t capture.
