The Mystic Arts Center currently occupies this building, although it has had quite a varied existence up until now, including as a general store, post office, war office, apartment, restuarant, boardinghouse and brothel.

The building was severly damaged by a fire in 1976, which the author of Haunted Mystic states could be yet another attributable to the many that seem to curse Mystic since the Pequot Massacre of 1637.

Paranormal phenomena include the sounds of footsteps, and the apparitions of a lady and two young boys have been sighted. Investigators claim to have obtained audio recordings and photograhs of "orbs", although this are easily explainable as a natural effect.

The Ancient Mariner Restaurant building was constructed in 1974, and is known locally for its great seafood and bar. It is owned by the same family as those responsible for Anthony J's Bistro (see below).

Paranormal phenomena has been attributed to a former regular at the bar and restaurant, who was a good friend of the staff. Various effects include the movement of his photo hanging on the wall along with some of the oars that adorn the interior walls.

One of the most curious incidents they reported involved the favourite barstool of their deceased patron, whereby it was the only one out of all in the restaurant to be reseated when they had all been stacked at the end of a shift.

Anthony J's Bistro is known as a warm and friendly bar with a wide selection of food and beverages - and renowned wine cellar. It is also reputedly haunted.

The building was constructed in the 1840's and possibly served as a residence and general store since that time. In the 1980's, Anthony J Torraca - known as Skip - founded the restaurant that now occupies the premises.

Paranormal phenomena include the disappearance and re-appearance of objects and the feeling of being watched.

The Captain Daniel Packer Inne is one of Mystics most notable landmarks. It was constructed on the Mystic River in 1754-56 by Captain Daniel Packer. From that time to the late 1900’s the property remained in the Packer family and their descendants. The Inne was restored in the 1980’s by Richard and Lulu Kiley, and remains in the family today.

The building has a haunted reputation, and consequently is a place where many of those with an interest in the supernatural like to come and visit or stay.

Paranormal phenomena include the apparitions of Captain Daniel Packer and a young girl named Ada Clift, the movement of glasses in the bar, slamming doors, the sounds of "stomping boots" and the starting of fires in the hearth on winter days.

Factory Square was built for a specific, industrial purpose . The complex could accomodate hundreds of workers and the substantial equipment they would operate.

It is now a commercial and residential area, but some believe that its past has etched itself onto its very fabric.

Reported apparitions include an apparition of a man wearing 1920's clothing simply appearing in one of the apartments that now occupy the building.

Other paranormal phenomena include interference with electrical items such as televisions being turned on - yet fully unplugged from the wall.

Built in 1784, the Main House of The Old Mystic Inn is a picturesque country colonial. It was once a book store "boasting over 20,000 books". The Inn has continued the theme by naming the rooms after New England authors.

The owners have stated that the inn "has strange occurrences aplenty".

Reported phenomena include sounds and the movement of objects, whereas as some who claim to be sensitive have reported witnessing various spirits around the property. These have inlcuded a female wearing colonial style attire that appears in the kitchen.

Paranormal Investigators who have visited the inn claim to have obtained EVP recordings.

The Voodoo Grill was a lively eatery offering New Orleans-inspired food and live music, but has now closed perminantly. It was part of the Factory Square development, and had a reputation for being very haunted.

Former staff and patrons reported quite a number of experiences whilst working in the building.

Such phenomena included the levitation and movement of glasses in the bar area, as well as bottles falling from their shelf to the ground one after the other - yet remaining completely intact. Other objects were also moved and left in unusual positions.

Staff also reported apparitions dressed in 1920's or 1930's clothing, the radio playing music from that era yet it was switched off, and the sounds of voices.

In 1771, Dr. Dudley Woodbridge purchased a plot of land from Lieutenant John Gallup, and began construction of Whitehall Mansion on a site where a tavern and stagecoach once stood. The Inn was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 1979.

There is a long list of recorded phenomena at the Inn, thanks largely to guests recording their experiences in the visitors book. Obviously, you should not accept everything you read in such sources, but they do provide an insight as to the reports.

Reported phenomena include the sounds of "raucous" female laughter and children at play coming from empty rooms.

Other effects include doors opening of their own accord, a sombre feeling in one room, bedsheets being pulled and the feeling of being watched.
