The Mysteries of
Rhode Island
is an interactive web site which allows
visitors to place virtual pins on a map of the state of Rhode
Island. These pins are divided into seven subject areas: Haunted
Locations, Scenes of Ghastly Crimes, Paranormal Hot Spots, Entrances
to Secret Passages, Mysterious Places, Historic Locations, and
Favorite Haunts. Text descriptions, off-site links, photographs, and
even driving directions can be added to these virtual pins, allowing
visitors to browse pins which have already been placed and add new
pins of their own. The goal is to create a community-developed map
which allows people to share their knowledge and experience of Rhode
Island oddities in a fun and interesting way.
