What Lurks Beneath: Ghost Ship at Mystic Seaport Museum

A ghost ship has come back to Mystic Seaport, bringing its lost crew of whalers to the waterfront. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, this immersive theater experience lets visitors follow ghostly sailors, meet mysterious characters, and uncover their story while exploring the historic grounds. The main event is best for ages eight and up, and there are two optional indoor attractions with bigger scares.

October 23 to 25 and October 28 to 30, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, with timed entry. Mystic Seaport Museum, 75 Greenmanville Avenue, Mystic, Connecticut. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Nonmember tickets are $41 to $46 per adult and $29 to $30 per youth, with member discounts available.

Tickets and details are on the What Lurks Beneath page at Mystic Seaport Museum.
