Those aren't effects, they're "impulse responses".
Basically, you play back a short, sharp noise in a big space - a cathedral, say - and record it with all of the room's echoes. By comparing the original sound to the recording, certain plugins can produce impulse responses, which are like a copy of the reverb produced in that room. The same process works with anything that produces reverb, like a Lexicon 480 for instance.
Any plugin described as "convolution reverb" can load an impulse response, play your audio, and apply that reverb to it. Reaper includes a convolution plugin, called ReaVerb.
- Add ReaVerb to a track
- Open the FX window for it
- Click the "Add" button and choose File
- Browse to one of your impulse response .wavs
- You should be able to play your track and hear the reverb now
