Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial Park
The Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial in Providence, dedicated in 2015, honors the six million Jews and countless other victims who perished during the Holocaust. While the memorial serves as a place of reflection, some visitors have reported eerie encounters, such as shadowy figures and faint whispers, believed by some to be the restless spirits of those who suffered.

The Providence Athenaeum, established in 1836, is one of America's oldest libraries, rich in literary history and known for its stunning architecture. Beyond its scholarly appeal, the library is steeped in eerie tales, with reports of ghostly sightings, particularly of poet Sarah Helen Whitman, and other unexplained phenomena that add to its mysterious charm.

I would say go, be prepared for a hilly fast paced walk and not to many ghosts, but it was fun. Bring a flashlight .

We had a great time and loved the fast paced hilly walk. It was great exercise after dinner. Providence is beautiful at night. Our guide Nicole was great and spoke loud enough for us all to hear.
