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. As the tour is held outdoors, please also ensure to dress appropriately for the weather conditions.

Hauntings, history, and architecture - We enjoyed our tour with Cait. She was a wonderful storyteller and all of the stories were so interesting. Not only did we enjoy the ghost stories, but we learned history of the area and saw buildings at RISD, Brown, and the general area that were incorporated into the stories. We enjoyed the evening walk but someone that has mobility issues may want to think twice since there is a fair amount of walking on the tour and involves some hills.

Clay was a great tour guide! - We enjoyed this ghost tour very much and learned a lot about the area while walking around. Our guide Clay was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We were running late because of the Pride event going on and he was so kind to call me to check on us. We joined the tour eight minutes late but he texted me where they would be and who to look for so we could catch up. Wonderful way to spend 90 minutes in the evening.
