Pink Lighthouse of Castle Hill, Rhode Island

The pink lighthouse, built in 1740, was a watchtower and helped mariners heading to Newport Bay.

On April 10, 1747, tragedy struck. One Lilly Farris, daughter of the lighthouse keeper, hung herself over a broken heart in the lighthouse tower.

Ever since then, Lilly has been said to haunt the lighthouse… the fog bell rings though no one is there to work it.

Some say on the anniversary of her suicide, April 10, the noose still appears in the tower.
