Description
The Hometown Ghost Stories crew, Rob, Dave & Jesse, return to explore the dark history and hauntings of Block Island, Rhode Island, aka the real-life Widow’s Bay! They dig into centuries of murder, colonial warfare, pirates, shipwrecks, and ghost stories, including Captain Kidd’s rumored buried treasure and the Palatine Light, the legendary flaming ghost ship that witnesses have reported seeing off the coast for hundreds of years. They break down the horrific 1907 Larchmont disaster and the hauntings tied to Block Island’s North Lighthouse (where bodies from the wreck were stored), including a Woman in White, unexplained cold spots, disembodied voices, and something that reportedly pushes people on the stairs. They also share what happened during their own paranormal investigation of the New Shoreham House on Block Island, and why one skeptic left in tears. Plus, they tackle the biggest question of all: did centuries of tragedy create the hauntings, or did something about Block Island draw tragedy there in the first place?
