Explore Westerly’s spectral side on a lantern-lit stroll through downtown, hosted by Seaside Shadows Haunted History Tours. Across approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, a guide shares true accounts of deadly shipwrecks, whispers of cursed pirate gold and unexplained lights, stories of alleged witches and unsettling colonial folklore, and eerie moments tied to the town’s industrial era, including a tale of two souls sharing one body. The route highlights long-standing buildings associated with reported hauntings and offers a moody walk along the Pawcatuck River after dark. Tours run in all weather. Cameras are welcome, and pets are not permitted. Admission is $30 to $35 per person. The starting point is in downtown Westerly, with detailed meeting instructions provided upon booking. For questions, the organizers reply via website chat or email, and phone calls are returned only in emergencies.
