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.

Lots of walking, no hills, flat surfaces in the town. About one mile of walking and stopping to hear about ghosts.

Tour guide for Seaside Shadows was Kim. She was very entertaining and also looked out for the safety of the group. She also knew a lot about the Mystic area.

This was my second haunted tour but my girlfriend has been on about a dozen. We both agreed that this tour was excellent! Our tour guide, Kim, was a wonderful story teller… super knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot and got the creeps (the best kind) a few times. We had no idea the town had the kind of history it did and she brought it to life. We highly recommend this tour… and highly recommend Kim!

We went on a rainy day at 4pm. Small group of 7 people. Our tour guide AJ was great. He was entertaining and enthusiastic about the stories. The tour was about 2 hours long. Fittingly, when the tour ended, my group spent half an hour being lost and trying to find the car as the rain came down heavier. In our attempts to retrace our steps, we passed by Anthony J three times. It was almost spooky.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Sunshine was excellant. She gave us a lot of information about the history of Mystic and all of the paranormal activity that still occurs today.

My friend and I booked this tour on our first night in Mystic and we had an excellent time getting to know the town and its dark history. Our amazing guide, Kim, kept us entertained and captivated throughout the entire 1 hr, 45 min length of the tour and even showed us photos of ghost sightings afterwards. We had an awesome experience and hope to come back during the warmer months!
