Sadly, No. We love animals here at Seaside Shadows, and we all have many furry friends of our own, however this tour is not a place for them. With crowds, other people and animals walking about, and sometimes allergies, we ask that you leave Fluffy at home for this tour. Service Dogs may, of course be used on our tours.

Here at Seaside Shadows, we STRONGLY recommend that all children be at least age 11 and up. We will be discussing some rather dark material and focusing on off color history. It is not something we recommend for a younger child. In addition, this is not a haunted hayride type attraction or theatrical performance. We are speaking of real spirits and real history throughout the duration of the tour. For ages 11 and up, we will leave it up to the parent's discretion of course, and we encourage our guests of all ages to be respectful of the tour and of Mystic during our time together.

Parking in Mystic, while not everywhere, is widely available! The Mystic Arts Center offers a paid parking lot, where you may use only your debit/credit card to pay. There is also street parking available in 2 hour increments throughout downtown Mystic. Street parking is available on Cottrell Street where we start our downtown tours,. Our cemetery tours are located on the opposite side of the river from downtown and parking is available nearby the burial ground. Finally depending on where you're staying for your trip, your hotel may be in walking distance to any of our tours.

Sometimes it may get hot in our summer tours, or perhaps you just need to stay hydrated. We welcome water bottles and bottled water. If the temperature is sustained past 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, we will do our best to provide bottled water for you. Please keep in mind public trash bins are not available. We also request no soda, snacks, or beverages other than water. Chewing and fizzing could get distracting during a tour, and we want you to have the best time possible!

We have done our best to make sure that the walking terrain is nothing too strenuous or stressful, and will be in public areas. Most areas will be lit, and your guide will have a lantern light to lead the way and assist with road crossing. It is however walking and not all sidewalks and pavements are as even as one would hope, and things can get in the way. Dare we say you walk at your own risk. You may want to wear comfy walking shoes, and dress accordingly for the weather. The tour is mostly handicap accessible, however we do change our walking path from time to time. If you need easiest handicap accessibility before your tour, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible, so we can plan a comfortable walking route for you.

Absolutely, if you are looking for a spooky get together for your friends and family, hosting a party, or sometimes even a business outing we would love to provide a private tour for you. Please contact us to discuss times and availability.

If you have a location you would like us to check out, be it a home or a business, contact us via the Contact page, and we would be happy to go to your home and take a look around. We will be able to tell you if you have true spirit activity in your home, and whether we believe it is of positive or negative nature. We will also try to document proof with audio/video, and do all we can to help you. Again contact us privately for this!

It is important that all tours start on time out of courtesy and respect for all tour goers so we can not wait for any type of grace period. At this time tours are primarily by reservation only and walk-up space is not guaranteed. Please plan to arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes early to your tour to avoid missing us!
