Found in the small village of Chepachet in the town of Glocester is one of the state's oldest and most fascinating restaurants. Now known as Tavern On Main, the site was originally called the Stage Coach Tavern when it was first constructed in the early 1700s.
While it may appear to be a common site for Rhode Islanders as another historic building and great restaurant, the tavern has a sordid and turbulent past. Not only was it the site of an intense political battle in 1842, it's even seen shots fired into the building as a political struggle ensued for early governorship in state.
Though the tavern has seen many owners and different uses over the years, one thing that has remained the same for more than a century now is the eerie and ghostly happenings inside.
Tavern on Main is considered a Rhode Island hot spot for paranormal activity. Reported incidents including broken glass, changes in temperature, and even ghostly figures have all been frequent occurrences here.
Many ghost hunters have visited the premises and managed to identify at least four spirits. Included in this are a small child who haunts the first floor restroom, a woman said to have been murdered by a jealous partner, and a mysterious man.
