Ghost On the Strand Ghost Tour in Galveston booking from $25.00

Ghost On the Strand Ghost Tour

Overview

Galveston has seen a horrifying number of sudden deaths. An ungodly number of the islands dearly departed, well never departed. Their spirits are lurking in the shadows, alleys, staircases and stalk THE STRAND every day! The historic 19th century buildings on THE STRAND have become ghost sanctuaries. And the ghosts inside are just dying to meet you.

Join us on our 90 minute walking tour as we explore the fascinating paranormal happenings on the strand, the original street of horror. Hurricanes, war, fire, and epidemics! The pirate Jean Lafitte even turned the island into a den of thieves. Galveston has more ghosts than any other city in U.S.

Walking in the night, translucent figures will float by the windows. Shadows will suddenly appear and objects move of their own accord as we huddle closer to one another for are mutual protection. We never know what’s waiting for us around the corners. Beware and be scared! After all Galveston is nothing but “a cemetery with a beach attached.”

What To Expect

Galveston Railroad Museum

At its height this railroad station saw over 40,000 people a day on their way to Galveston's bars, casinos and brothels. An engineer by the name of William Watson would entertain the passing crowds by doing handstands on the cattle guard of the engines. One unfortunate day he SLIPPED and was immediately decapitated. A derby hat was still securely sitting on the head they found A MILE AWAY!

Grand 1894 Opera House

Charles F. Coghlan a famous British actor sailed to Galveston to grace the stage of The Grand Opera House. But poor Charles died before the curtain was ever raised. What to do with this distinguished visitor’s body? While waiting for the answer THE GREAT STORM demolished the island and carried Charles coffin out to sea. It floated from Galveston to Prince Albert Sound before it finally made land…ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE CHARLES WAS GOING TO RETIRE!

The "tour guide" who went by the name of Clint Eastwood's character in a movie emailed me to confirm and then never showed up. I had to use the chat feature to have someone "from the office" contact me (from a CA number) and they said they'd call the tour guide and let him know we were waiting in the cold. Waited some more and.....nothing. Used the chat feature again to request to be connected to them and the chat operator refused. Will be contacting Groupon and the Galveston Chamber of Commerce. On the plus side, the crackhead who accosted us outside the bar we were supposed to meet the tour guide at was very friendly.

I'm sorry there was a mix up. You called at 7:38 and I returned the call immediately. I called the tour guide who did not receive your reservation unfortunately but he was there at 7:45. You kept insisting that you were in front of Patrick's bar. The tour guide was standing in front of Patrick's bar and he sent me pictures that there was no one there. I'm sorry about the delay. I was on the phone with you when you were saying you're in front of Patrick's bar .he was standing right there. further you say you bought a Groupon. but you're leaving this review on viator. Groupons are not good on Sunday night. I think you didn't bother to even try and make a reservation with that groupon. That's why no one was there at 7:30. I'm assuming that you just thought that someone would just show up magically because you had bought a Groupon and we were supposed to somehow know that you were going to take the tour that night.I can't do anything about the cold weather. I finally gave the tour guide your number to call you directly to see where you were at. you said that you had moved on . All of this occurred within a 10 minute.. when I tried to explain to you that the tour guide was there you kept interrupting me rudely. when I called back to save the tour guide had arrived you kept saying that you were standing right there he wasn't there. the tour guide showed me pictures that he was standing right there so I don't know why you were lying and saying that you were standing right there. You kept saying that you were going to call the chamber of commerce which indicated that perhaps you were a bit extreme in your response to a 10 minute delay. However that's your choice. I hope you get your money back from groupon. If you have any problems tell them that I authorized them to refund your money. Happy holidays

Learned a great deal on the history of galveston and even caught a few images of what looks to be the same lady in white in 2 separate building! A little creepy that she had followed us. Guide was knowledgeable and I love that it was suited for all ages.
