CLOUD’S HILL
VICTORIAN HOUSE MUSEUM
Warwick, Rhode Island
CLOUD’S HILL
The house was built between 1871 and 1877 as a wedding gift for Elizabeth Ives Slater from her father, wealthy textile manufacturer William S. Slater. It was placed solely in Elizabeth’s name and has remained in the same family for more than 150 years, passed down through four generations of women.
It contains roughly 13,000 objects, including original 1870s furnishings, artwork, textiles, porcelain, yacht china, and a carriage museum featuring more than 12 carriages.
THE CASE
Through a contact in the historical preservation community, we visited the mansion and were granted permission to conduct an investigation there—something of a rarity at this location.
Despite local curiosity and occasional paranormal interest, it is not considered an active haunted house. It is a private, family-held historic time capsule that hosts regular historical tours, educational events, and an annual family-inspired Halloween murder mystery night rather than genuine supernatural hauntings.
Nonetheless, staff members have reported some unusual occurrences away from the public events held there.
