Haunted RI
by admin on Apr.06, 2010, under Paranormal
Why RI in 1524, Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano was the first European to visit any part of what is now Rhode Island. He came to what is now Block Island and named it “Luisa” after Louise of Savoy, Queen mother of France. When the founders of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations surveyed the land, they thought that Aquidneck Island was the place. A mistake occurred in 1690, when Luisa was charted by the Dutch explorer Adriaen Block, after whom Luisa was renamed by the Dutch West India Company; however, their motives in doing so are unknown The official explanation by the State of Rhode Island is that Adriaen Block named the area “Roodt Eylandt” meaning “red island” in reference to the red clay that lined the shore, and that the name was later anglicized when the region came under British rule.

I have a personal theory and have heard the theory before well it is that the original 13 colony’s of The USA as well the areas with most native Americans are more likely to be be even more haunted. i do not just say this because of human life but rather human emotion human crime human passion sadness fear war and the longest history of death. There is also the recording theory’s stones recording the past we have a lot of granite and other stone that are said to be able to record history the more violent, emotional and loud the better the recording, This is when you see a repetitive event that happens over and over again,Like a women walking past a certain tree several people seeing the same thing over the years (most often known as a residual haunting) this is more a scientific theory. well I am not sure why Rhode island has so many Hauntings and stories but it has been interesting finding out all I can..
