Our Original Ghost Walk takes travelers through the historic downtown Mystic landscape, guests will become immersed in the dark, sordid and supernatural history of New England’s famous seafaring village.

As the centuries grew, lost seafarers, creepy cryptids, and scandalous happenings took place in our quaint seaside community.

Our Downtown Mystic tour takes guests from the 17th through 20th centuries in old Mystic with true terrifying tales from our hidden archives and remarkable history amid legends and lore.

Fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Jason, was super knowledgable, funny, & sweet. We toured the downtown area of Mystic while listening to engaging stories of the history of the area. It was a walking tour at the end of November so the weather was cold which was out of our control but we are very happy we included this in our itinerary.

Our tour guide, Kim, was exceptional, and she made the tour entertaining and spine-tingling at the same time. I'll admit that I lost some sleep over the "river monster" story! This is an excellent activity if you're interested in learning about the dark side of this quaint, little seaside town.

The Mystic Ghost Tour was a solid combination of local history and legends. Riley was an excellent tour guide who managed a large group and crowded streets while still providing captivating tales. We look forward to experiencing the other tour options.
