Thirteen years ago, I set out to share the stories that make Mystic such a special place.

Since then, Seaside Shadows has weathered storms, economic ups and downs, a pandemic, personal health challenges, and countless changes in the tourism industry. Through it all, one thing has remained the same: a love for history, storytelling, and this incredible community.

Today, I’m grateful to say that Seaside Shadows is still here. Still researching. Still writing. Still leading tours. Still sharing the stories of Mystic with guests from around the world.

To everyone who has taken a tour, recommended us to a friend, left a review, read one of my books, or simply cheered us on along the way—thank you. Your support has meant more than you’ll ever know. Thank you for continuing to visit Mystic's Original Ghost Tour.

The lantern is still lit, and the stories continue.

The town’s walkable streets, waterfront views, and rich nautical history make it a favorite New England getaway year-round.
