Seaside Shadows - Mystic
Where does the famous giggling ghost of Mystic visit dining
guests? What practice in the 1800’s kept spirits out of people’s homes effectively? What local ghost left footprints on the floor of a well known establishment?
What historic artifacts and gravestone engravings have been found in Mystic's antiquated burial grounds? What famous soldiers, doctors, and ministers visit their scenic resting place? How can I capture a ghost on camera?
Find out all this and more legends and spooks when you take a Seaside Shadows Downtown Mystic tour or Mystic Moonlit Graveyard Tour. Connecticut native, and sensitive to the other side, Courtney McInvale Reardon, takes you by lantern light on the tour of your choice where she will answer these questions and more.
Our downtown tours go through the bustling landscape of shops and restaurants surrounding the famous drawbridge and our cemetery tours allow guests to walk through the Whitehall Burial Ground associated with the famously sighted ghosts of Whitehall Mansion. Downtown Mystic tours are offered Thursday and Saturday nights. Mystic Graveyard strolls are offered on Friday and Sunday evenings. New London Graveyard strolls are offered on Full Moons and special holidays. Tour times vary seasonally and oftentimes there is a weekday offering on either Tuesday or Thursday. Please see our calendar for details as the schedule is subject to change. Our Ye Antientist Burial Ground route in New London will donate proceeds to the restoration of Connecticut’s most historic burial ground and tell the true stories of the CT founders who are buried there and the ghosts that abound. Special Events take place as fundraisers at historic homesteads and sites throughout the state bringing in the most experienced and phenomenal special guests.
