Hit up concord in general - sleepy hollow cemetery has graves from the 1600, all the revolutionary war stuff has rumors of hauntings. Hart well tavern sometimes does ghost stories by candlelight in the old inn.

The wayside Inn in Sudbury also has a few resident ghost claims, plus George Washington stayed there and it was mentioned in a famous poem. You can go for a reasonably priced meal, explore the nearby gristmill, and walk around concord all in one day.

Rutland Prison Camp was part of the Massachusetts correctional system until it closed in the 1930s. It was for sex offenders and those sent there were committed for life without parole. It was completely self contained with a farm for crops, dairy and cattle. Before it had it's own cemetery the prison's dead were buried in unmarked graves. It's rumored there's hundreds of those and that the grounds are haunted. When I was a kid in Boy Scouts we did community service there clearing brush and building trails. We camped there and were told all kinds of ghost stories and didn't wander far after dark. We didn't experience anything paranormal but the ghost stories fed our imaginations. No spooks but a nice place to explore.

As a fellow elder 'melinnial' and someone who moved from Boston to Worcester a decade ago, here's a friendly piece of advice: don't expect to recreate your 20s-in-Boston experience here in Worcester... your gonna have a bad time.
