Ghost stories are one of the most ancient holiday traditions with roots dating back to Solstice celebrations. Join us on our walk through Mystic to hear some of tales of scariest Christmas creatures, the most spine chilling Christmas games and spirits and the true meaning of the spirit of Christmas. From native tradition to Dickensian spirit, the tales will make you think of Christmas and Mystic in a whole new way. It's not just Saint Nicholas flying through the sky but plenty of other beings and spirits as well -- some are good and some perhaps more nefarious....

5.00Blaine the guide was phenomenal. She is very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and educational. Mystic’s history is fascinating and something history buffs and those interested in the paranormal would enjoy learning about.

5.00Blane was our guide and was absolutely wonderful in every way! She really knew what she was talking about and was a fantastic, animated, and expressive storyteller, We loved the experience, learned so much, and highly recommend both Blane and Ghosts of Christmas Past Downtown Stroll, We dressed very warm; it get’s pretty cold over two hours after dark!

3.00I certainly learned some history I had never known before, and that was quite interesting. The host was good, but she was just a little too long winded for being so cold outside I felt she could have cut out a lot of the extra words and explanations she could've gotten more to the point each time. Maybe it's just cause I was very cold, but I felt she was a little too winded. Although she was very nice and super energetic.

Chilly and Chilling Insight into Mystic's Bloody Past

5.00We took the 7 pm tour so we could get the full spooky vibe. It was a very cold December night and got colder as time went on. Despite all that, our guide Kim was full of energy and tales of days gone by. She told stories of European and Irish folklore that has informed our Halloween and Christmas holidays to the present day. Kim also was very knowledgable of local history, some of it very unsavory. Mystic has some very old buildings and the land underneath, of course, is even more ancient. I definitely want to go back to some of the restaurants she brought us to as part of the tour to see their interiors and maybe catch a ghost!
So cool!

5.00Jason the tour guide was fantastic!! A terrific storyteller and highly knowledgeable about the area’s history and great at “setting the stage” to get the tour going! What a delight to hear the scary tales but also get a nice tour of the area. Highly recommend that you add this to your Mystic visit. You will not be disappointed and it’s a bit spooky, too. It will get you thinking!
