The October 16th, 17th and 18th Haunted Spirits of Clinton 2025 Stroll will benefit the Adam Stanton House & General Store Museum and Kidz Konnection Shoreline Theater Academy. This year all tours will start at the Academy Building which houses Kidz Konnection at 61 E. Main Street in Clinton.  

The special three-night “The Haunted Spirits of Clinton” Halloween event will be offered nightly at 6 pm, 6:30 pm and 7 pm on Thurs., Fri., and Sat., Oct. 16th, 17th & 18th and is sponsored by Kidz Konnection. Tickets cost $15.  All proceeds will go towards the ongoing restoration of the historic Academy building, home to Kidz Konnection, and to the restoration of the Adam Staton House Museum.

The stroll will visit the grounds of the historic 18th century burial grounds where spirits of famous local characters will thrill you with stories of their past.  Hear true paranormal tales of historical events told by the spirits of the deceased….some frightening, some emotional and some entertaining.  Afterwards light refreshments will be served back at the Academy Building.

Kidz Konnection was founded in 2006 by NYU Tisch School of the Arts graduate, Laura Attanasio as an inclusive place for students to build community, explore classic literature, and express their creativity after school. From humble beginnings of less than ten students performing one show every few months, Kidz Konnection is now the Shoreline’s best Arts Academy, offering a wide range of programs, classes, and productions for all ages.

The Adam Stanton House and General Store was built in 1791 by a wealthy, striving merchant-businessman whose entrepreneurial spirit and extraordinary taste can be seen in every aspect of this unique house museum. Filled with clothing, furnishings, documents, and store inventory all belonging to the original Stanton family, the house provides a glimpse into 18th and 19th century life in a privileged New England family home. In 1916, the house was left in trust by Adam Stanton's heirs to become a house museum. It has been open to the public ever since.  Adam Stanton House, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3).
