Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger turn their attention to one of New England’s most perplexing structures—the ancient stone tower in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island.

Some claim it was a simple colonial windmill, but others insist it predates Columbus, built by Viking explorers centuries earlier. Even more intriguing, theories suggest the tower served an esoteric purpose—functioning as a solar calendar or even an ancient camera obscura.

What secrets does this enigmatic ruin hold? And who truly built Newport’s Mystery Tower?
