Most Haunted Places In West Warwick, Rhode Island To Visit
Following are the most haunted places in West Warwick, Rhode Island, where ancient legends and dark myths are brought to life in the shadowy corners of historic landmarks. These places hold secrets that have yet to be uncovered, with each creaking floorboard and cold breeze hinting at restless souls trapped between worlds.
Kent County Times Building
: "Several employees of the Times reported strange sensations and feelings of panic when working in a storage room on the third floor of the building. The same has happened in the men''s lavatory on the same floor. One employee quit after being "followed" by someone she couldn''t see. It is rumored that a man killed himself by hanging in the third floor stairwell."
St. Mary's Church
: "This is the first Catholic church built in Rhode Island. The building of it was met with resistance by the local Protestants who were the majority at the time. The builder and his wife Mary completed the church anyway despite warnings that if the ground was broken for the church, the person who dug the first shovel of earth would lie beneath it. That unfortunate person was Mary. It is her spirit who supposedly haunts the church. Lights have been turned on and off, candles have inexplicably gone out and items have been moved from various areas of the church. She seems to be a benevolent spirit and the priests at the church accept her as part of the parish."
