Summary: This was the best $35 I’ve spent in a long time! Our tour guide Kim was fantastic. Her knowledge and storytelling kept us interested and engaged and I could have listened for 2 more hours. I’ve lived in this area my whole life and had no idea of the spooky history and paranormal events surrounding Mystic. Highly recommend for a fun nighttime adventure!!
