Back by popular demand, Souls of College Hill, our walk among the dead, will return for two nights this October. As the sky darkens and leaves fall, the souls of some of Providence’s early residents will rise for an evening stroll. A slave ship captain, an enslaved mother seeking freedom, an indentured African boy forced to work on a slave ship — these are only a few of the historic figures you’ll encounter as we traverse the broken stones of this nearly 400-year-old city. At the end of our tale, the night will conclude with a candlelit chorus of voices and a walk among the graves of a colonial cemetery.

Will you be there to catch a glimpse of these 18th-century specters? What will they tell us about their lives and the legacy they left behind? On this ghost tour, you’ll find that nothing is more terrifying than the truth.
