Rhode Island is a charming state with lots of offer in terms of culture, dining, and history. But it also has its fair share of ghost stories. Most notably, the house that inspired The Conjuring is located in Burrillville. But just down the road in Chepachet, you’ll find an equally robust catalogue of creepy.
Chepachet, Rhode Island is a village in the larger town of Gloucester. It was built in 1799 and boasts many historic structures. It’s only natural that not all the spirits from the past few centuries have felt the need to leave.

Perhaps one of the most haunted places in the village is Tavern On Main, a restaurant with roots back to the early 1700s when it served passing stage coaches.

When paranormal specialists have investigated they site they generally find 1-4 spirits haunting the premises, including a small child who haunts the restroom and a woman who was murdered by a jealous lover.

The Tavern is still known for its delicious cuisine and refreshing cocktails, but when you visit, don’t expect to be dining alone.
