The Governor William Sprague Mansion, on 1353 Cranston St, was built by mill magnate William Sprague in 1790. It is said that an apparition began appearing on the staircase there in 1925.
Haunted Places reported it has been seen in the house as well. It is thought to be family members Lucy Chase Sprague, William Sprague Sr. or a son of Civil War Governor William Sprague IV, who in 1890 committed suicide in the mansion.
