“On a brisk autumn evening in historic Providence, a small group gathered at Memorial Park, uncertain about what to expect. Then Nicole appeared with a lantern, ready to guide us into the night, distributing spirit detection devices along the way. As she recounted the tale of Providence’s medically verified vampire, we were captivated. Our hearts raced as we made our way to the Athanaeum, a place intertwined with the lives of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. Nicole skillfully blended history and lore into a captivating experience, having researched and crafted the script herself. Her warm and engaging presence ensured everyone, even those of us with hearing challenges, could follow along. When she offered an extended tour downtown, my wife and I had to stay behind due to our physical limitations, regretting the intriguing stories we missed across the river. Our farewell was bittersweet since we felt Nicole's charm and passion throughout the tour. Though we are now far away, we encourage others to join her for an enchanting adventure into the mysterious side of Providence.”— 52372dsc on the Providence ghost tour — haunted history walking tour tour
