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..

Do you have a Spirit Guide? Native beliefs explain that a totem animal is one that is with you for life, both in the physical and spiritual world. Though people may identify with different animal Spirits it is actualy animal Spirits that we are born with.

ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES & TOTEMS (medicine)

a wonderful Web page

Some Native Americans believe that upon birth an animal’s spirit enters into that person.

Its duties are to keep each person strong and wise as well as to excel in matters of attributes given to that Animal.

A deer is an animal of love, tenderness,and swiftness, it guides throughout their lifetimes, it is this one totem animal that acts as the main guardian spirit.

My animal spirit journey starts here, with this simple story of a dog’s love for a little girl. When I was adopted I was 16 months old. My aunt, had a Border Collie pup she couldn’t care for at the time and gave to me when I was 2. We named her Lady. No one knew how special this dog was. My Mom was one of those who harnessed their kids,I don’t care, hubby hates the photos I have of it. It was so I could play outside and she could safely run in and tend to dinner if she needed. Well, I got loose one day and my Mom ran out as soon as she noticed. As I was running down the street she saw with Lady next to me and a neighbor’s dog on the other side of me. I ran into the road in front of a car, the car was a few car lengths back, but Lady ran and jumped on the hood of the car and made it stop. Mom and myself tell/told this story often Over the years.

And there is more, when my parents where drunk and yelling and fighting Lady scratched the door open to my room, would lick my tears away. She was so strong, but then would shake all over and I would hug her tight. All my will and thoughts onto her, holding her tight, and it helped me forget the yelling and fighting. This happened so often and it was along time before I had wondered how she got into my room all the time. I tried over and over, shutting the door, slamming the door, it always latched perfect, there were hundreds of scratches at the bottom from her scratching to get in, but how did she get in? I was a freshman in high school when she had to be put down for a very large cancerous growth on her leg. Both we and the vet feared that while my parents where at work, and we were in school, the tumor would split and she would suffer horrible pain alone at home. I tried to say goodbye that morning before school, my eyes full of tears, just like now as I write this, and she sat in the front yard. She wouldn’t look at me at all, instead stared into the sky. Those where the only tears I shed over her though, no matter how many times I tell her story (until now). I have shed many over other pets I have had, but not her because, perhaps, I know I don’t have to worry about this wonderful spirit as she is so special.

This isn’t the end of my spirit journey, I believe another animal has spoken to me for many years as a child i wandered off to be alone in the woods at my Aunt’s, not really lost, but a little afraid I might be. I suddenly saw a big Buck. I reached out and barely touched his nose and he ran off. I practically jumped out of my skin. Then I had my cousins telling ghost stories of a mean deer in the woods that would be after me. And then, another experience was my father hunting deer and me crying at the sight of a mom deer and her baby they didnt mean to shoot the mother and knew the baby wouldnt survive. I was screaming and crying for days, which in turn made my father give up hunting or at least I didnt know if he still was, he just couldn’t take my sadness.  Read more here
