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. From 17th century strife of colonial life amidst the Pequot Wars and the King Phillip’s war to mysterious turn of the century murders, Mystic’s history was founded in darkness. As the centuries grew, lost seafarers, creepy cryptids, and scandalous happenings took place in our quaint seaside community.

Sunshine was a wonderful guide, you can tell she enjoys what she does and that makes the tour all the better. The history and stories of Mystic were great to hear as I knew very little before coming here. I would be very happy to do the tour again or any other tour, but I would like to request Sunshine as the guide :)

My wife and I attended the Downtown Mystic Ghost Tour as part of a day in the town. It was AWESOME! Our tour guide, Kim, was knowledgeable, super funny, and kind. We learned a lot about the history of the town and the hauntings that came from it. Along with the stories, Kim also shared some photographic evidence provided by past attendees. The ghost boys peering through the door was especially nuts! I'd recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in the paranormal, or anyone who just wants to learn about Mystic in a different way. Also, she did not leave us in a dark alley to our own devices!
