Colt State Park

Colt State Park in Bristol, Rhode Island is included on ODDKNOWN because a source-recorded haunting or paranormal story is tied to the location. Source-reported background: Apparently a stable hand died in the barn (now used as the park office). staff has shut off lights and closed doors only to find them on or open when they come back a few hours later, but nothing much more than that. Reported activity: They vanished as he got closer. A guy who works there confirmed one of his ex-coworkers saw the same girls and heard giggling in the woods in that area. The Shadowlands/TidyTuesday entry is a compiled report, so the paranormal claims are presented as folklore or witness reports rather than verified supernatural evidence.
