Haunted History Walking Tour of Providence
Description
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.

Itinerary
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 and interesting. There are a lot of up and down hills, a little challenging since I am out of shape and have a bad knee from a catastrophic dislocation. But I was able to do it and keep up with caution and careful steps. Beautiful neighborhoods and Brown University Campus.
Thank you so.much, Amber! I appreciated you letting me know about your knee so I could make sure we took a route that worked for you. I have to say, you were a champ and knew exactly how to take care of your knee. Thank you for your joy and your curiosity. I hope your trip home was safe and easy!

First time visitor to Providence. When new to a city, I often look for a walking tour with a view to local history and interesting stories. The Haunted History tour was most satisfying and Cait was an excellent and engaging guide. One need not be a believer to be thoroughly entertained and educated in the fascinating history of this city.
Thank you so much for your review! Cait is a fantastic guide and I appreciate you giving her a shout out. I am so glad you enjoyed your stroll and appreciated both the history and the hauntings! In Peace, Courtney Owner/Founder/Lead Guide
