    Locals and visitors alike rave about the guides on these ghost tours, with names like Kim, Jason, AJ, and Blaine coming up repeatedly for their engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the area's history. What sets this experience apart is the authentic local perspective—these aren't scripted corporate tours, but rather passionate historians who blend historical facts with paranormal tales in a way that works whether you're a believer or a skeptic. Several reviewers mention learning surprising details about places they've lived near for years. The tours strike a nice balance between entertainment and education, with guides using EMF devices and other interactive elements to keep groups engaged. Even when dealing with the occasional drunk heckler or Saturday night downtown crowds, the tour leaders handle distractions professionally while maintaining the atmosphere. The walking pace is comfortable with plenty of rest stops, and groups appreciate how guides make even larger tours feel personal. Multiple people say they're planning to return for other tours, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience.

    Had a wonderful time on this ghost tour. Jason was our guide, and he did a great job at giving a detailed history of Mystic. He is an excellent storyteller and kept all of us engaged and entertained along the entire tour. We had a big group (almost 40 people), and there was lots of traffic downtown on a busy Saturday night, but the group was well managed and Jason did everything to keep us safe as we made our journey through the village.. Thank you, Jason for being an excellent tour guide. I am attaching a few photos. There are some interesting beams of lights and strange images in some of the photos.
