About
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....

    Nice way to get to know the charming town of Mystic and its rich, sometimes very spooky history!
    We took the Downtown Mystic Ghost Tour last night and it was great. Sierra was a very enthusiastic guide who told us about the interesting and sometimes spooky history of the charming town. She backed up het stories with photographic evidence (?) of the ghosts. The walk is not long or hard and Sierra chose places where we could sit down wherever that was possible.

    Mystic Downtown Ghost Tour
    AJ was very engaging and quick on his feet. The stories were interesting and loved his sense of humor. It was fun to get a little tour of parts of Mystic and learn some of the area’s history. Thanks AJ!

    One of the better ghost tours I’ve been on
    I’ve made it a tradition to go on a local ghost tour everywhere I travel and this is one of the better ghost tours I’ve been on. It had a good combo of local lore, history, and downright creepy factor without going too over the top the way other tours might. Our tour guide was very engaging. There was a variety of locations, and at the end it’s very easily to navigate back to where you started. We definitely want to check out the other tours that this group offers!

    Jason: The best teller of tales
    Jason did an amazing job including the listeners in his stories by being interactive and going with the flow of the outside sounds like the church bell ringing at random or the draw bridge lifting and settling for the boats passing by. His humor is on par and his knowledge of the town is pretty top tier. Jason also ensured we were all safe walking as a big group~ The stories of the town were very interesting and chilling with accounts from the staff within the locations mentioned. Its a great tour for non believers and believers alike! Happy haunting~ *make sure to tip Jason, the dude deserves it*

    Best ghost tour!
    My husband surprised me with a ghost tour for a weekend getaway. It was the best ghost tour I’ve been on! A great way to learn the history of Mystic as well as some of the ghoulish tales. Kim was the best guide and we will be recommending the tour to our family and friends!

    Jason rocks and respects.
    Clearly he loves his town and its history. He tells his stories with respect for them and for his audience. We were 20+ people from 6-ish to 80-ish. The narrative and the surroundings held us all. Who know that Mystic CT itself IS a ghost. Except in the mind of the USPS, Mystic is not a geographic entity! We learned history, geography and of strange happenings. The fertile imagination of my 9 year old grandson kindled bad dreams but no harm done. Thank you for a fine evening, Jason.

    A Must Do
    The tour guide was such a pleasure. He kept us interested. I took the tour with my 6 year old son and the tour guide was open to answering his many questions. I highly recommend this tour.

Jason takes a small town a d makes it feel big through history. His stories were fun and interesting, and he is s bit of a philosopher too (quoting James Joyce etc). Good for & kids at
heart. Nothing in Mystic is a world class attraction, but this a fun & memorable way to spend a evening
