Captain GrantThe Tavern On Main, Chepachet, RI
To learn more about the haunting at the Tavern on Main, click or copy and paste link below.
www.tavernonmainri.com
Known as one of the most haunted sites in New England and arguably the most haunted in RI, the tavern is host to several spirits from different eras.
The structure was built as a private home in 1760. Cyrus Cooke turned it into a tavern in 1799. It was the headquarters for Thomas Dorr and the site of the Dorr rebellion in 1842. H.P. Lovecraft was known to stop at the tavern en route to Pascoag and west Glocester. The tavern now serves some of the best cuisine you will ever savor. Perhaps that is why the ghosts have stayed on.
Amonr the spirits are that of a little boy who is seen in the dining room, Ladies room and taproom, a woman who is seen and heard sobbing in a corner booth, a man dressed in 19th century clothing, a woman seen in the pantry, and many other unseen entities that have made their presence known to staff and countless patrons.
