Rhode Island has a history of paranormal activity throughout its history. Weekend nights can see crowds of people in Providence and Newport participating in guided ghost tours. Some historical cemeteries are tourist traps and must-visit stops for fans of the spooky. Restaurants are haunted.
There are people that have claimed to have seen a ghost or felt their presence. Not many have had the privilege of speaking with a ghost and getting to know their thoughts on the current state of their surroundings. We brought in Buckaroo Warren of the Warren clan to ask a few questions of those past luminaries who had a sec to drop by for interviews at the Conjuring House…
Buddy Cianci:
“I was alive at the wrong time,” he thinks as he passes by current news reports. “The politicians now are so outwardly corrupt, they don’t even bother to hide it. Instead, they just make the people feel like this is how things have always been, with’ leaders getting richer for peoples’ benefit. They’re celebrated instead of arrested. If only I could have stayed politically relevant and survived another decade. I would’ve been a king.”
Mercy Brown:
“Can’t I die in peace?” she screams to the void as enthusiastic onlookers crowd her grave and leave her gifts she can’t touch. “You people don’t leave me alone. I’m not even a vampire! I was never a vampire! Oh, how I hate you, Bram Stoker. Rest in peace, my tuberculous ass!”
Judge Frank Caprio:
“Those tributes to me were nice,” he smiles in modest pride. “It feels good knowing that I had such an impact on so many people; many of whom I never met.”
Roger Williams:
“Are they finally done moving those rivers?” he ponders about the area where he first settled. “I don’t understand how they light the rivers on fire, but it is a delightful sight.”
HP Lovecraft:
“This paper seems to mention me in every issue,” he says, thumbing through a Motif. “I’d be willing to bet that all of these hack writers get more for mentioning my name than I made in my whole literary career.”
Cormac McCarthy:
“I bet you people didn’t even realize I was born in Providence,” he telepaths to those reading this right now. “I’d also guess that half of you don’t even know who the hell I am! The movie was boring, but The Road was a good book about family survival in dark, apocalyptic times. Ben Nichols from Lucero wrote an EP based on Blood Meridian. The least you can do is Google me.”
