[@jannajones19]

@@FrightNightScares I'm good! School is closed so I'm out of work until all this blows over.. So was excited to see your video!! No I've never been but wasnt to go!!

[@practicalsigma]

I love Newport, it's a beautiful city. Not surprised at how haunted it is though. Do Providence, Rhode Island next!! Providence is haunted AF

[@TrueCrimeTalkWithTaves]

Wow RI has a lot more history than i thought

[@FrightNightScares]

It's definitely very historical and mysterious! Which haunt do you think sounds spookiest, LaTavia?

[@cornwallparanormalresearch2378]

Good video guys keep it up

[@FrightNightScares]

We most certain will! Thanks (as always) for tuning in, CPRS! Have you all ever been to Rhode Island before?

[@lonnybrinker8752]

I was stationed in Newport in the Navy. I love it so much and miss it every day.

[@danellebeebe7634]

Yay!! Just what I need right now - a new Speakeasy video! Thank you!

[@DubH46]

Okay, so the Jailhouse Inn sounds like a great place to stay. Any old jails hold onto the energy from the past. Sounds creepy!

[@FrightNightScares]

We agree! We have a theory as well that time can be served beyond death... Thanks as always, Warren!! Have you been to Newport before?

[@DubH46]

@@FrightNightScares I have not. As much as I've traveled in my life, I've missed some of the most historic places that I want to go to. Lol

[@andrewscolari5724]

Thank you for making my week with a new video! It was a rough week at my job and I'm now ready to kick back and enjoy a peaceful relaxing weekend. Thank you for ending my week on a high note and starting my weekend off right. You guys are terrific.

[@danielafreedman]

I stayed at the Yankee Peddler Inn and heard the voices of a woman and child in the hall at night as well as "visitors" going up and down the stairs, but no physical bodies! The White Horse Inn also has a lot of history, although I didn't encounter any ghosts.

[@FrightNightScares]

That's awesome! Sounds like you have some experiences travelling the area though! Thanks for tuning in, Daniel!! Any other good ones we might have missed?

[@bobbiroy9368]

Thanks guys great job Like always

[@FrightNightScares]

Thank you very much, Bobbi! Have you been to Newport or any of these haunts?

[@conscioussouthernsoul]

Your channel was recommended to me and I am glad I’d started watching. I’m from Arkansas and I have stories for days on different sightings and hauntings that my family and I have encountered, but that can be talked about some other time. In the meantime please do some research on Arkansas hauntings. Thank you God bless!

[@g-mansofly1016]

I wish we could hear them lol

[@lisaperez5309]

Speakeasy is the best way to get your daily ghost stories. keep up the good work God bless 🙏 and peace and stay safe.

I’m at Brenton Point Park as I watch this! Love it. Gonna have to check out the abandoned house.

[@corylombard]

I love that place, best shell collecting place...great energy, always makes me happy.

[@lonnybrinker8752]

I was in the Navy there for four years. I love Newport!

[@deanmaker5435]

My house at 291 high street wonsocket Rhode island is hounted.

[@tradeka4206]

“For viewing from behind a fence” yeah everyone who lives here has gone into the stables and carriage house many times, the fence is bent and you can easily jump over it. Kids like to smoke weed and drink in there. The stairs up to the second floor are blocked but my friends and I climbed up there once and stayed there until dark and it was so creepy

[@candiceperry7916]

I wouldn't mind going to NewPort for vacation

[@lorimedina6787]

I was at student at Salve Regina in the early 80's, i lived at wakehurst my sophomore year. i lived there for about one semester and begged to be transferred to another dorm because of the hauntings that myself and my roommates encountered .

[@LindaC616]

Would love to hear about this! For a while now, it's been the student union, with a few offices for faculty, community service, and student activities. If you watch the film "Irrational Man ", you'll recognize one of the classrooms. But tell me more about what happened! Were you on the 3rd floor? Or garden level?

[@charmcat123]

So I just watched this, but I was stationed at the Navy Hospital there. There is a very old huge building next to the Hospital. I am not sure when it was built but I think it is pretty old. It is on Navy property so you can't go to it but when I was stationed at the hospital we use to have to go the old abandoned hospital at night to make sure no one was in it and there were stories it was haunted by a kid with a red ball (always a red ball??) and other ghost. In the basement was the morgue and I hated going there. I only went there once or twice because I hated going and no one wanted to go so we use to say yeah we went but never did. The place is creepy and there is multiple buildings I think one was a mental hospital at one time. You can see it on Google maps on 3rd Street. Edit: So I found something on it and the old Hospital was built in 1913 and then added on after that. The front part which faces the bay is the oldest part then the part near the road was added later. So yeah it is creepy!!!!

[@LindaC616]

Lol, that same kid with the red ball is doing double duty: he's supposedly also in either Watts at Salve or Carey mansion

[@elainelawler1425]

❤️🌹

[@FrightNightScares]

Thanks as always, Elaine!! Have you been to Newport before? Which haunt do you think sounds spookiest?

[@mariannenelson855]

Probably someone who works there going about their daily routine after passing away they went right back to where they were comfortable

[@jamiealdrich439]

I like to John and places at the speak easy of asano places in Newport Rhode Island and I have not been there but I like being next to the water

[@HighFancyLove]

Orbs at Brenton definitely

[@tradeka4206]

Oh absolutely I’ve gotten such weird feelings there at night and seen what I thought were people from a distance only to find no one when I went closer

[@NinjaJr57]

Well, I'm just gonna say dont harm the building or Margaret's spirit will harm you, plus I have visited the buildings, and this is what I experienced. Doors opening and closing. Lights flickered on and off A ball kept touching me on the leg. I even saw a misty figure on the staircase. And you might be wondering if I saw any of the spirits, good news, I did. 1. I saw what I described as a woman, wearing something white drifting across the second floor. 2. After l seen a ball move on its own, the apparition of a little boy appeared behind me. 3. My 6 year old sister told me that, she saw a man wearing a fabulous garb gazing out the window. I never was harmed by Margaret.

[@greggmcelhinney1228]

Ioved t'he video liked. T'he ghost. Stories. And history

[@BlaiddWolfe]

[@debralady9934]

I go to Newport a lot but

[@fansplore7209]

love the filming and editing!! We are from Norway and we have uploaded a "haunted school house" video if you want to check us out. New video coming later today :)

[@FrightNightScares]

We definitely did! GREAT work! We're your 100th subscriber!! What other haunts do you girls plan on hitting?

[@fansplore7209]

The Speakeasy Thank you so much! We are going to this huge Sanatorium here in Norway called «Harastølen», if you want to search it up. We have to wait a little while for that because of the corona virus going around.

[@travisstoudt8723]

Wow is There any big name US university that isn’t extremely haunted???

[@LindaC616]

Tons, but some of these stories come from adults, not just students

[@bruhnaffnafgaming5939]
