Colt State Park

Rhode Island · United States · Haunted site

The barn is now the park office. A stable hand died in it. Staff turn the lights off and shut the doors and come back to find them on and open.

Colt State Park at Bristol, Rhode Island was a farm before the state bought it in the 1950s or 1960s.

A stable hand died in the barn. That building is now the park office.

What the staff describe is modest and consistent: lights they switched off are on again a few hours later, doors they closed are open.

One member of staff has an account of being given something more.

The restraint in these reports is worth noting. The original submission says plainly that there is nothing much more than that, which is not how most accounts in this archive are written, and it makes the rest of it easier to trust.

The estate was built by Samuel Colt's nephew as a working farm and show place on Narragansett Bay, with bronze bulls at the gates that are still there.

The park is public and the office is open in working hours.
