Medium Tiffany Rice identifies active spirits at five Boston dining spots

Spirit medium Tiffany Rice visited five Boston establishments on a sunny Thursday to assess the city's paranormal activity. She is currently touring the country and recently completed a run in Las Vegas. Rice, who was dressed in black with leopard print sneakers, claimed the locations hold intense energy from historical figures. She stated that Boston is 1,000 percent more intense than other cities because of its long history.

The tour began at Fox & the Knife in South Boston, a site that previously housed the bar Triple O’s. Chef-owner Karen Akunowicz allowed the pair into the closed restaurant. Rice identified a group of five men associated with the building's past, including Donald Killeen and his associates. She reported feeling extreme brutality from the basement, where she believes a violent end of life occurred. One spirit, described as a large bodyguard with a stick, told Rice he had no remorse for events in the past.

Next, the group moved to the Liberty Hotel, which occupies the former Charles Street Jail. While eating truffle fries at the restaurant Clink, Rice spoke with the spirit of James Michael Curley. Curley, a former mayor who served two stints in that jail, claimed he was the voice of the city and helped people who lacked funding. Rice reported that Curley advised current leaders to focus on community for everyone, not just specific groups. This aligns with his historical nickname, the Mayor of the Poor.

At the Omni Parker House, Rice detected the presence of John F. Kennedy. She reported that the former president asserted ownership of the space and frequently thought of his wife, Jackie Kennedy. Rice identified Kennedy's favorite dish as a home-style chicken and gravy meal. An old menu lists roast stuffed native spring chicken with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce for $2.25.

The tour included a stop at Stanza dei Sigari in the North End, a building dating to 1896 that served as a home for unwanted children in the Victorian era. Staff member Kelsey MacKinnon showed a photo of a shadowy figure in Victorian dress. Rice also visited Hecate, a dark bar in Back Bay, where she claimed a female spirit was attending a business meeting with the staff. The spirit criticized the new lighting and preferred the old olive garnishes.

Rice concluded the day at a Dunkin' Donuts in downtown Boston. She claimed a spirit manager criticized recent recipe changes, specifically noting that the frosting is different from the old method. Rice said she would appear at the Alamo Drafthouse in Boston on December 13.
