Providence New Bedford, RI, October 27, 2026 —

A trending topic called “Rhode Island Haunts” is drawing attention to a collection of spooky and historic places and local lore across the state. The sites and stories named in the trend are presented as destinations for exploration, particularly during the autumn season.

The list includes Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, Slater Mill, The Monastery and Nine Men’s Misery in Cumberland, and the Witch Tree in Smithfield. It also features the legend of the Glocester Ghoul. The trend summary does not provide further details about the sites, the stories associated with them, or how the locations were selected.

The entries combine named places with a local legend, but the available information does not establish that any location is haunted. Rather, the trend groups them under a spooky and historic theme and frames them as places people may explore. It does not specify whether the sites offer tours, what their visiting hours or access rules may be, or whether any special autumn events are planned.

Some location details are also absent from the summary: Slater Mill is listed without a town or city, and no specific location is given for the Glocester Ghoul legend. The trend likewise provides no dates, visitor numbers, or statements from site representatives. Its focus, as described, is a seasonal roundup of Rhode Island places and lore—not a report on a particular event or change in access.

For now, the trend’s central appeal is its mix of history, eerie themes and folklore, organized around destinations associated with Rhode Island. The available description offers a list of places and a seasonal framing, while leaving the background of each entry and practical visiting information unspecified.
