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....

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- patriciasI5229ND0 contributionsSpirits Of ChristmasAs always, every event that I have done with Seaside Shadows was spectacular. Spirits of Christmas was no different. They are very informative and make all their events fun and full of history and spirits! Highly recommend!!Written 23 December 2024
- 80sgirlCT0 contributionsNot what we expectedI guess we expected more movement and time period dress by the hostess. While she was well versed about the stories she was telling it wasnt really all Christmas past but more stories of local mystic with a bit of Christmas thrown in. Also need to note, when buying tickets in advance (they sell out) you have no idea what the weather will be like. This night it was 25 degrees, bitter cold. The first 1/2 hour we barely moved. It was too cold and honestly we didnt do the whole walk.for health reasons. If you want to learn of "scary" history, this is the tour for you.Written 17 December 2024
- dsantucci7200 contributionsThe Tradition of Ghost StoriesThis was an excellent tour. We walked around the beautiful town of Mystic and learned about the history and the hidden secrets the town keeps. I learned about the history of the town, its curse and how the town came back alive...Our guide was friendly, had a good sense of humor, and answered all questions! Highly recommend!Written 17 December 2024

- Go458669196990 contributionsWorth it but could have been betterIt was our first ghost tour. Not sure what to expect. I thought 3 stars, rest of family thought 4. Historical facts were great and wanted more history. We did like our tour guide but I admit it was sometimes hard to follow her train of thought and stories - I would suggest working on mechanics of storytelling, exposition, pacing etc.Written 24 November 2024

We 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!

My friends and I went on the ghosts of Christmas past tour led by AJ . He was witty , animated, and very knowledgeable. The mixture of interesting history facts , coupled with some “creepy “ stories of ghosts and death made it super cool and entertaining !
It was an enjoyable couple of hours and something I wouid recommend to others.
Thank you AJ!

Jason 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!

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
