#1 - Anawan Rock

Coordinates: 41.865934°, -71.214533°
Location Address: U.S. Route 44, Rehoboth, Massachusetts
Anawan Rock is a historical site in Rehoboth, Massachusetts where the Native American War Chief Anawan was captured by British soldiers, which signified the official end of King Phillip's War. On August 28, 1676, Captain Benjamin Church and a group of six other men received word that the last war chief of the Pocasset tribe had been located in a wooded area on the outskirts of town. For the previous two weeks the Pocasset tribe had been on the run, while still managing to wage a fierce guerrilla offensive against Colonial forces in the area. Although Anawan's soldiers drastically outnumbered Captain Church's men, they feared the tribe would escape before reinforcements arrived. So Captain Church and the other soldiers departed for Anawan Rock in the dead of night and were able to scale the large stone from behind to capture the resting war chief, who surrendered without resistance. When Anawan Rock became a popular destination for picnics and other outdoor activities in the 1920's and 1930's, visitors began to report witnessing the apparitions of Native American tribesmen and women who once occupied the area, as well as experiencing other unexplained paranormal phenomena such as disembodied voices and screams, and the sounds of tribal chants and music. Others report witnessing strange glowing orbs and ghostly fires late at night, as well as feeling a strange presence, as if being watched by an unseen entity.

#5 - ​​U.S. Route 44

Coordinates: 41.845041°, -71.256510°
Location Address: U.S. Route 44, Rehoboth, Massachusetts
U.S. Route 44 is a rural roadway that runs from Rehoboth, Massachusetts, to Kerhonkson, New York, and is a popular route for tourists looking to experience the area's scenic autumn foliage. For many years, motorists driving on a stretch of Route 44 near the border of Rehoboth and the nearby town of Seekonk have reported encountering the spirit of a tall, muscular man with red hair wearing a flannel shirt and work boots. Although the man's identity is unknown, many speculate that he was either hit by a car or involved in some type of fatal car accident. In many cases, drivers who encounter the man's apparition stop to offer him a ride, but note that the man disappears before entering the vehicle, or shortly after. In many instances, those who encounter the red-haired man claim to experience other unexplained paranormal phenomena upon coming into contact with the spirit, such as electronic devices malfunctioning, or car batteries dying unexpectedly. Others driving down the road late at night report hearing a man's voice on the radio screaming or laughing menacingly, and numerous others have reported accidentally running the ghostly man over, only to stop and find that he has vanished.
