About Block Island Ghost Tours

New Paragraph


When a group of people with an affinity for things that go bump in the night get to talking, ghost stories are often shared. One night, the topic of ghost tours came up. It turned out that all of us make it a point to seek them out while we’re on vacation, which led us to wonder why ghost tours aren’t offered in one of the most beautiful and haunted vacation destinations in America, our home, Block Island.


Our Mission: By telling the stories of our ancestors we create exciting experiences which focus on the haunted history of Block Island with an eye on historical accuracy. We provide spooky fun for earthly beings of all ages.

 

Our Vision: To create partnerships with the business community while offering spooky New England fun from summer through autumn.

We are a group of people who have a deeply held love for this beautiful place. We love the sense of community. We love the rich history. It is our privilege to tell ghost stories handed down through generations of both islanders and vacationers. 

Rick has called Block Island home for 20 years. As the owner of Club Soda, he spends a lot of time behind the bar, listening to these stories. He believes that ghosts do in fact inhabit the island and is keen on using the latest equipment to prove it.

His brother David, on the other hand, is the resident skeptic. While he has always had an interest in the weird history of New England, he doesn’t believe that ghosts haunt the island.  

Jen is open to the possibility of hauntings. She has always had a love for all things spooky and deep respect for those who came before us. The first night she stayed on the island, she had her own encounter with an island ghost. Since then she’s been dying to dig into BI ghost hunting!
Jackie moved to the island in 2015 and was immediately drawn in by the loving, tightly knit community. She loves listening to the rich and interesting stories told by local and visitors. She is excited to create a fun new experience for everyone!

Holly is the entrepreneur of the group. She has been part of the island business community for almost 5 years. Having done everything from managing multiple B&B properties, bartending, social media management, and serving on the Board of Directors for the Chamber of Commerce, she feels it is time to bring another great business to Block Island for visitors and locals to enjoy.

“The not-knowings, the not-understandings, and not-endings are part of the mystery of life, the things that keep us all guessing. Why would one opt not to believe in ghosts?”


- Fran Migliaccio, Author of Ghosts of Block Island
