Visit the Whitehall Burial Ground in Mystic after dark and embark on a tour of American history in New England. Hear tales of fear, sickness, and war and uncover the hauntings resulting from these trials.
EXPERIENCE:
There’s nothing more intimately haunting than a colonial burial ground and Mystic boasts some of the most fascinating and haunted burial grounds around. The Graveyard Ghost tour takes place at Whitehall Burial Ground just off Hendel Drive in Mystic.
Whitehall Burial Ground established in the 1660’s was one of the common burial places of Mystic until the rural landscape movement arrived in Mystic in 1854. Our Graveyard Ghost Tour tells tales of some of Mystic’s most famous residents.
From Captains of King Philip’s War who saw unspeakable horrors to tales of true vampires amid epidemic scares; from Patriot defenders who met bloody ends to abolitionists and freed enslaved people, making their mark on the Mystic community – there’s no shortage of notable or frightening accounts.
The graveyard tour walks visitors through early American history in New England through times of fear, sickness, and war. The trials and tribulations left behind several hauntings and the graveyard has had activity of footsteps, voices, and full-bodied apparitions for years – many of which guests experience on our tour.
The Graveyard tour ends with a special spooky surprise – perfect for history and ghost lovers alike. The graveyard tour walks guests through time amid the graves of the people who made Mystic, Mystic.
