Portsmouth's 1887 farmhouse account — Rhode Island

The record

An August 1887 Newport Mercury article described a vacant farmhouse near Oak Glen, where witnesses reportedly saw lights and a white-haired man. New England Legends revisits that newspaper account but cannot establish the house's exact site. The historic report survives; the building and its alleged spirit remain unverified.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
