This experience takes you into Grove St. Cemetery and out to New Haven Harbor as you follow a trail of eerie local stories. As you move through these places, you will hear accounts that focus on ghosts, scandalous tales and stranger things connected to the city’s past.

Along the way you will find out about the phantom of Geronimo and other legends tied to the cemetery’s grounds. At New Haven Harbor the storytelling will shift to harbour‑related incidents and unsettling anecdotes that bring the waterfront’s history to life — try not to sink while the tales unsettle you. The tone will be atmospheric rather than strictly historical, with an emphasis on stories that aim to surprise and provoke curiosity.

You will pass notable spots in both locations and pause to listen as the guide links each story to place. The experience centres on narrative and atmosphere, so expect a mix of ghostly accounts, scandal and curious local lore as you explore Grove St. Cemetery and New Haven Harbor.
