Prepare to enter a world where the lines between justice and the supernatural blur in The Haunted Tales of The Judge, a chilling new theatrical experience set inside one of Boston’s most infamously haunted locations, The Sessions House.
This immersive event will transport audiences to the heart of a tragic and harrowing story: the murder of the Judge’s daughter and the spine-tingling trial of her alleged killer. With the echoes of past trials still reverberating through the halls, The Sessions House—a building with a reputation for eerie occurrences—will set the stage for a performance like no other.
Audiences will witness the story unfold as the grief-stricken Judge presides over the courtroom, tormented by the spirit of his daughter. As the trial progresses, unsettling events begin to disrupt the proceedings, blurring the boundary between the living and the dead. Is justice being served, or is something far more sinister at play?
Built in the 1840s, The Sessions House has a long history of serving as a courtroom, its walls having witnessed countless trials. But it’s not just legal proceedings that haunt these halls. For years, locals have whispered about strange noises, ghostly sightings, and an eerie atmosphere that lingers long after the sun sets. With The Haunted Tales of The Judge, these ghostly legends come to life in a thrilling blend of drama and paranormal intrigue.

This production allows us to explore not just a gripping tale of tragedy and justice, but also the lingering presence of the past that still haunts us today. Boston has such a deep connection to its history, and we wanted to create an experience that taps into that, blending storytelling with immersive theatre in a way that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
“My team has worked tirelessly to capture the chilling atmosphere of the trial, and we invite audiences to step into this eerie world where the lines between reality and the supernatural become blurred. We hope this event sparks intrigue, not only in the story we’ve crafted but in the rich historical context of Boston itself.”
“I’d like to give a special thanks to Mantas Slavinskas for his hard work, creative ideas, and dedication to this project. His passion, craftsmanship, and willingness to work all hours to ensure every detail was perfect have been invaluable. We couldn’t have brought this vision to life without his tireless commitment.”
