Step into Newport’s haunted past with Newport Ghosts. Discover Newport’s Long Wharf and ferry system dating back to the late 17th century. The 19th century brought the steam-powered Jamestown ferry, and Newport’s maritime economy flourished until the Pell Bridge replaced ferry services in 1969. While the bridge improved tourism, it also became infamous for tragic suicides, including the unresolved case of convicted murderer Adam Emery, whose disappearance in 1993 remains a haunting mystery.
The waters around Newport are steeped in ghostly lore. The “Palatine Light,” tied to the 1738 wreck of the Princess Augusta, is often seen near Block Island, allegedly haunted by the spirit of a passenger who refused to leave the sinking ship. Similarly, the Sea Bird's mysterious return to Newport in 1750, devoid of crew but with breakfast still steaming on the table, adds an eerie maritime legend. These tales of spectral ships have left a lasting impression on locals and visitors alike.
Learn about Long Wharf, the site of America’s largest mass execution in 1723, when 26 pirates were hanged and left to dangle as a grim warning. Ghostly apparitions of pirates, sensations of choking, and the scent of tobacco are often reported. Across the water, Rose Island adds to Newport’s supernatural allure. The Rose Island Lighthouse, built in 1869, is haunted by its longest-serving keeper, Charles Curtis, and by the spirits of those buried in mass graves on the island. Guests report shadowy figures, disembodied voices, and even the feeling of someone climbing into bed—ensuring that Newport’s haunted maritime history endures.
