A Haunted Haven
North Stonington is a small town in New London County that’s known for its picturesque scenery and rural charm. However, the town also has a darker side, with several spooky legends and ghost stories associated with it.
One of the most well-known ghost stories in North Stonington, CT is the story of the Witch of Plum Hill. According to the legend, a woman named Susannah Northup lived on Plum Hill in the early 19th century. She was known in the community as a healer, but some people believed that she was a witch who practiced black magic.
One day, Susannah was accused of witchcraft by a group of townspeople and was arrested and put on trial. She was found guilty and sentenced to death, and her body was buried in an unmarked grave on Plum Hill. Legend has it that Susannah’s ghost still haunts the hill, seeking revenge against those who wronged her.
Another of the spookiest ghost stories in North Stonington, CT surrounds the abandoned Colonial House on Lantern Hill. This house has been empty for years, and locals say that it’s haunted by the ghost of a young girl who died there in the 1800s. Visitors to the Colonial House have reported strange noises, footsteps, and even the sound of a child’s laughter. Some have even claimed to see the ghostly figure of a young girl walking around the property.
Finally, there’s the legend of the ghostly horse and carriage that can sometimes be seen traveling through North Stonington. According to the story, the carriage belonged to a wealthy family who lived in the area in the 1800s. One night, the family was returning home from a party when their horse suddenly bolted, causing the carriage to crash and killing everyone inside.
Now, the ghostly horse and carriage can be seen traveling late at night, with witnesses reporting that the horses are completely transparent and the carriage seems to be floating. Some say that if you see the ghostly carriage, you’re in for a stroke of bad luck, so it’s best to avoid it if you can.
Overall, North Stonington may be a small town, but it has its fair share of spooky legends and ghost stories, with something to offer anyone who’s into the paranormal.
