Paranormal-themed TV shows and movies have heightened interest in ghost tours, she says. Edge-Mattos herself has encountered ghosts calling her name and other odd occurrences. Providence Ghost Tours guides on special Investigation Tours (not their regular tours) use dousing rods, spirit boxes, and EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recorders to communicate with the souls of the dearly not-so-departed. We felt cold chills, but we chalked it up to the weather. Some participants experience weird happenstance, like cameras and phones that won’t work, cold mists, and glowing orbs, that might be attributed to unsettled spirits. Plus, the “residual ghosts,” who stay in their own bubble, are most active at the anniversary of their passing, Edge-Mattos says, not necessarily at Halloween. Go now, though (the first tour was March 26 this year) before the October tours book up, and you get a more personalized experience. Halloween, of course, is the busy season, when Edge-Mattos and her eight guides run as many as six tours a night.
