Known s a bastion of “Hope”, the original motto of Rhode Island, the settlers of the colony founded the Providence Plantations to escape from religious persecution and find a place where they could worship freely, away from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Even these giants of horror were finally doomed to lives of torment and torture due to their fixation on all things supernatural.
