Plain Meeting House Cemetery — Nellie Vaughn Legend

West Greenwich, RI

Nellie Vaughn died in 1889, but her grave later became surrounded by stories describing her as a witch, vampire or restless ghost. Investigations of the legend show that many of the supernatural claims appeared long after her death, making the site as much a lesson in how folklore evolves as a haunted stop. Her original marker is no longer present, so the cemetery itself is the route point. Secondary source: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-251-nellie-vaughn-vampire-witch-ghost/
