Overview

Our company has been a member of the Providence community for nearly two decades. Our company is a walking, haunted history tour of Providence's College Hill neighborhood. Our guides lead guests by lantern light as we explore the history, mystery, legends, and lore of our city. Learn about different types of hauntings, our spirits' most current activities, and the dark tales that have been forgotten over time. Our tour is a wonderful blend of history and mystery, perfect for believers and skeptics alike! The tour includes a portion of College Hill. We have chosen the most walkable route, but it is indeed a hill and our streets are old. Please wear shoes that are comfortable and stable. It is also outdoors, so be sure to dress for the weather.

Meeting points

Please meet your guide at Prospect Terrace Park, located at 60 Congdon St. Providence. Enter the park and go to the statue that overlooks the city, where your lantern-carrying, black garb-wearing guide will meet you. Get ready to enjoy a stunning view as we begin our journey.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Prospect Terrace

    Groups will gather at the statue. Your guide will greet you and check you in, then begin with our first tale! Be sure to bring your camera and take pictures- there is no better place to see the city than Prospect Terrace Park. We begin and end at this site, so you'll have the opportunity to see it twice!

    8 minutes

  • Providence Art Club

    Learn about the otherworldly tales of the Providence Art Club, one of our city's most celebrated institutions. Please note, we stop outside the Art Club; we do not enter.

    7 minutes

  • Benefit Street

    Benefit St. is the second oldest street in town. It has experienced so many of Providence's historic events and the ethereal dust of times gone by lingers still. Please note we walk along a portion of Benefit St. We do not enter any buildings on Benefit St.

    7 minutes

  • Providence Athenaeum

    Providence Athenaeum is a literary legend in Providence and beyond. Learn about the literary hearts that still beat within. Please note, we do not enter the library, but you are welcome to visit during their hours of operation.

    8 minutes

  • N/A

    Take a little rest as we ascend College Hill and learn about a tragic tale that resulted in one of the longest-documented hauntings in the city!

    5 minutes

  • Rhode Island School of Design

    Visit various buildings at RISD, an internationally acclaimed art school right here in Providence, RI. Meet the souls who refuse to move on and how they make their presences known. Please note, we do not enter any of the RISD buildings. Some are open to the public during the day and you are welcome to return for a closer inspection!

    20 minutes

  • Brown University

    Stroll to multiple locations on the historic Brown University campus to learn about the paranormal activity that prevails. Please note, we do not enter any Brown University buildings.

Fun spooky times

Our tour guide Carson was amazing! They were a really compelling story teller, and the ghost stories we heard gave us a lot to think about for the rest of our trip. The tour was definitely fun and family friendly, and we may have even had some unexpected visitors in our pictures from the night…

Lively ghost stories

Published on Nov, 2024

Not the horror and ghoul stories I expects but s great rundown of real things that occurred and led to ghostly experiences. On top of that a good preview of buildings and areas to visit in College Hill the next day - like taking one of those sight seeing buses with a running narrative.

Providence Ghost tours are amazing!

Published on Nov, 2024

Oh wow. This company does a fantastic job!!!! My son and I lead ghost tours in our hometown, and always try to find the local companies to take tours with when we travel. We found out about this group from the University of Rhode Island fb page. My son is a sophomore at URI in theater. The owner of the company is a URI theater alumni, so we naturally chose this tour to do. Kelly was our guide and her story telling abilities are way above fantastic. She really draws you in and maintains your attention. You could tell she is passionate about the haunted history of Providence. I also liked how she supported other tours and museums and recommended places for us to go to learn more about the stories we heard. She paused when traffic would interrupt and she made sure she was heard by all guests. She was very respectful of the areas we went to. She asked us to take pictures and share anything we found. My one thought would be that this particular tour would be hard for someone with mobility issues (I have asthma and a couple of the streets were challenging in grade). But never fear! They have other tours that sound like they could be better for those of us who can’t quite do that many hills. This tour will be great for families, as there are no jump scares. We are definitely doing more tours with them the next time I am up there. I think next time will be the investigation tour!!! 15/10 recommend! Oh, and her dress was ON POINT!

Absolute must do in Providence!

We had a wonderful tour with Alura! She was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Providence and all of the sites we visited. An absolute must do in Providence!
