Newport, Rhode Island is one of the the oldest towns in the united states. The early twentieth century the seaport town had become a hot summer destination for some of America's wealthiest families. The mansions of Newport are legendary as are the many ghost stories that accompany buildings that have been around for so long.
Belcourt Castle was founded by Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont. Q wealthy American socialite and politician, in 1894 there are many different documented hauntings within this lavish home, but perhaps the most haunted objects in the castle are two chairs that reportedly have spirits attached to them. Visitors who sit in the chairs say they immediately feel cold, queasy and uncomfortable their hands feel like they're pricked by static electricity when held near the chairs and many people have claimed that they've felt like they're sitting on someone when they attempt to sit in the chairs. Several visitors have actually been ejected from the chairs by an unseen force.
