Stories of lost and haunted treasure sites are intermingled through
three states in southern New England: Rhode Island, Connecticut, and
Massachusetts. Explore supernatural history that abounds and visit ghost
towns, lost Native American villages, forgotten mines, and valuable gem
discoveries. Pirates were welcome, and when they visited, the legends
suggest that they left their loot behind. Begin your search in Rhode
Island where Captain Kidd is said to have buried coins at the northern
tip of Sandy Point. (Coins from his era have been found here!) Seek
pirate treasure said to be hidden in Brooklyn, Windham County,
Connecticut (you'd have to look out for the headless horseman who was
killed for the gold in question). Pirate treasure is said to be buried
on Money Hill in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. A large amount of British gold
and silver was discovered in 1973 and thousands of coins have been found
dating from the late 18th century. But beware, black dog guardians,
wildmen, and pirate ghosts protect these treasures from ever being
found. Yo Ho.
