Additional Information

For almost twenty years, our organization has been an active participant in the Providence community. We operate an engaging, ghostly historical walking tour around the College Hill area of Providence. Led by our experienced tour guides and illuminated by lanterns, you’ll delve into the rich history, unexplained mysteries, legendary tales, and local lore of our city. You’ll discover various styles of hauntings, get to know the latest ghostly happenings, and unearth dark stories lost to time. Our tour seamlessly combines historical facts and spine-tingling tales that equally entertain both believers and skeptics. Our route encompasses part of College Hill, chosen for its walkability. However, be aware that it is hilly, and our roads are old. We recommend wearing footwear that is both comfortable and sturdy.

Better Than Boston - We had a blast! - My fiancé’s sister and her fiancé came to visit from KS and we decided that we wanted to do a ghost tour to keep the trip fun, but low key. We had done one in Boston and had a blast so we figured we would give this a try… WE LOVED IT (even more than our Boston tour). I’ve lived here for about 8 years and felt like I got a new look at PVD. Courtney was fantastic! She was so kind and very good at storytelling. Each location felt like it was important and the stories seemed so grounded. We appreciated how much respect Courtney had for the people who shared their stories with her and team. The views were great and walking felt comfortable, not too much. It even drizzled a little and we didn’t mind at all. We’re all in our 20s and had a great time!! We all would’ve paid more for it because it’s great, but appreciated that it’s so affordable!!

Ghost Tour Guide "Kelly" delivers!!!! - Ghost Tour guide "Kelly" was absolutely entertaining and fascinatingly knowledgeable about the history of Providence. I enjoyed that the sites had significant paranormal incidents that were clearly connected to the history of the sites here in Providence and in very important parts of history. It was very family friendly and and everyone was very entertained as I was. This is a must for everyone visiting Providence, and I will definitely go again when I return. :)

Amazing tour with Kelly! - Amazing tour. Kelly was our tour guide and she was very animated, dressed to the part with a black witches dress and very informative. She even showed us pictures at the end of actual sightings from past tours. I would definitely recommend and also make sure Kelly is your guide!!

Truly amazing tour - I’ve been on ghost tours from Salem, Mass to Catalina Island and just about everywhere in between. Providence ghost tours was hands down the best I’ve been on. Kelly was an amazing purveyor of wonder, story teller, and poetry reciter I’ve ever had the fortune of following.
