AFTER DARK · MYSTIC GHOST TOURS
Good mystic ghost tours run small groups and fill up around Halloween. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Walk through downtown Mystic with guides such as Jason, Kim, AJ, Blaine, Amanda, Riley, and Sierra, hearing true crime, colonial history, ghost ships, industrial tales, and local hauntings. This is a story-led history walk, not a haunted-house scare show, and it runs about 1 hour 45 minutes.
“We had Jason he’s very friendly, informative & funny too and cares about everyone safety and goes at a good pace.”
Walk Whitehall Cemetery in Mystic for about 1 hour 45 minutes with guides such as Kim, Sierra, Riley, or AJ. Expect colonial history, family graves, Black and Native American history, ghost tales, paranormal photo tips, and a few surprises after dark.
“I enjoyed the historical references and stories. The guide Kim was engaging and fun and very well versed in the local Mystic culture.”

Walk about one mile through downtown Mystic for two hours of Christmas folklore, ghost stories, and local history. Guides such as Blaine, Sia, Jason, Nate, and AJ bring tales of Krampus, Belsnickel, the Death Coach, Smee, and Lussi to life. Dress warmly, since the tour is outdoors.
