Courtney (a.k.a. Ghost Mom)
After living in a haunted house in Vermont, Courtney’s path to owning a ghost tour seemed inevitable. A University of Rhode Island BFA graduate, she and her friend Mike (a.k.a. Ghost Dad, though no longer with the tour) combined their creativity and passion for storytelling to launch Providence Ghost Tour in 2006. With experience guiding Newport Ghost Walk and her own paranormal encounters, Courtney became the lead guide and storyteller, now the proud sole owner of the tour.
When she’s not sharing eerie tales, she enjoys hiking with her husband and their dog, Rhea Rose (a.k.a. Providence Ghost Pup), road trips, and experimenting in the kitchen—sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Ironically, despite her love for the supernatural, she’s a self-proclaimed scary movie chicken who sleeps with the lights on after anything too spooky.
KELLY
Kelly joined Providence Ghost Tour in 2008 and has been thrilled to return each year since. With a long-standing interest in the paranormal, she is always exploring the mysteries of the world around us. Kelly considers herself critically open-minded—she believes there are things beyond our understanding and is open to the idea of spirits, particularly as she has had unexplainable experiences both on the tour and in her life. However, she always seeks a more "rational" explanation first, which only makes the unexplained moments more profound for her.
Kelly embraces the uncertainty and sees it as a fundamental part of the wonder of the paranormal. Beyond storytelling, she relishes the opportunity to share both history and ghostly experiences with her guests—and, yes, she enjoys dressing up a bit! She especially loves leading smaller tours (6-15 people), where she can connect more deeply with guests. When she’s not guiding, Kelly shares her love of theater with youth and treasures watching her children explore the world (although, when her son waves to the corner of the room and says, "Hi," Kelly wonders if he sees something she doesn't).
STEPHANIE
Stephanie has been a Ghost Guide since 2015 and has had a love for ghost stories since childhood.

He is the Associate Artistic Director of the Rhode Island Shakespeare Rep, a group of Shakespeare enthusiasts dedicated to education and performance.
Caitlyn (Cait)
Cait's fascination with the macabre began at a young age when she devoured Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Her childhood was marked by spooky tales she’d share with her cabinmates at sleepaway camp, even getting in trouble for scaring them all into sleepless nights. Now, as a guide for Providence Ghost Tours, Cait continues to share her love for the supernatural. Outside of her ghostly tours, Cait works with the Coast Guard, and she lives in a converted boathouse in historic Pawtuxet Village with her family, two cats, and one dog.
