Galveston Island Ghost Tour

Overview

The stories that you’ll hear as we venture on our 1½ hour walking Ghost Tour, past the gilded mansions and palaces are only whispered about on Galveston. People here are too afraid to open a dialog with the dead… afraid to unlock the gates of hell. We’ll unravel the horrible, scary secrets that lurk inside the ghost sanctuaries… secrets kept for the past 150 years! We have researched stacks of photographs and letters from those who won’t stay dead! We dive warily into the haunted past and uncover the reasons why this unstoppable paranormal force still grips the island. Bring your garlic, crosses and silver bullets as we descend into the ghost hunt darkness. This Ghost tour is for believers and nonbelievers alike. You’ll turn from skeptic to ghost hunter and learn about Galveston’s unparalleled and fascinating paranormal history along way. This tour is appropriate for all ages. But beware, you may have to run fast…

very fast to escape the clutches of the ghosts.

While my favorite part of the tour was the black cat, the whole tour was fun! I appreciate Michael, who overcame the distraction of all of the Motorcycles, and his sense of humor. He did a great job. It was fun and I would do other tours that are offered just not during the bike rally! thank you!

My boyfriend and I took the ghost tour of Galveston on August 26, Noelle was our tour guide. She did an awesome job giving us the dark paranormal history of each location, we even had the opportunity to tour the inside of one of the mansions. My favorite location was the Ashton Villa, loved the story about Bette, lavish lifestyle and US Army General Gordon Granger, announcing in 1863 the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect. Thanks Noelle for making the tour exciting and informative.
