Prepare to explore the paranormal on this ghost tour of Providence. Immerse yourself in the spooky past of the colonial city.

Providence Haunted History Tour

Welcome to the capital city of Rhode Island! We will meet at the Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial and set off on a walking tour through Providence.

This colonial city began as a refuge for settlers escaping religious persecution and became known for its ghostly visitors and hauntings. Notable horror authors Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and H.P. Lovecraft were once residents, and their experiences inspired many works.

Our first stop will be Brown College's University Hall, a historic building that served as an emergency hospital during the Revolutionary War. Students and staff report seeing lost spirits at night.

Next, we will visit the Providence Athenaeum Library, a favorite of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. This location was significant during Poe's courtship of Sarah Helen Whitman, and residents claim his spirit haunts the library.

We will also explore the Shunned House, known as the inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's horror novel. Participants will learn about unsolved mysteries, tragic murders, and horrific creatures associated with this 18th-century home.

The tour concludes after 1 hour at the renowned Fleur de Lys Studio.
