Haunted History Walking Tour of Providence
Overview
The longest running ghost tour in Providence, RI means we have 20 years of paranormal research to share! This RI classic tour was recently named the #2 ghost tour in the nation by USA Today's readers (2025 and 2026)!
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.
