Top 5 Haunted Places in RI

The Conjuring House, Burrillville
This house inspired The Conjuring films. A family who lived there in the 70’s claimed numerous supernatural events happened on the property, such as strange noises, cold spots, etc.

Seaview Terrace (Carey Mansion), Newport
This Gilded Age home is said to hold voices, footsteps, and sightings of “Mrs. Bradley” playing her organ. The mansion’s long history, richness, and secret wings all add to its eeriness.

Belcourt Castle, Newport
Known for haunted furniture (like chairs that won’t let people sit), a haunted suit of armor, and a phantom monk. Though often the reports are about objects rather than actual sightings, it’s still one of the most storied haunted mansions in RI.

Fort Wetherill, Jamestown
This old coastal fort has many reportedly haunted tales. One of the most told legends is of a phantom black dog howling or appearing then vanishing through walls.

Mercy Brown’s Grave- Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Exeter
The story of Mercy Brown is one of the classic “vampire” tales from New England. After she died of tuberculosis in 1892, locals dug up her body, found her in a condition they thought unnatural, and burned her heart to break what they believed might be a curse or a vampire. Her grave still draws ghost story enthusiasts.
