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!

Neither my husband nor I had ever been on a ghost before so we really didn't know what to expect. It was a chilly evening and only my husband and I showed up for the tour. The guide, although a very nice older lady, just went through the motions of walking around and pointing out a few buildings that were supposed to be haunted. Although she did tell us some ghost stories, they were very dry. Maybe it was because there were just 2 of us, but she just didn't sell it. We had used a Groupon so we were not out a lot of cash and it was a beautiful evening to be out so it wasn't a total wash.

Sorry you were disappointed. A review of this nature promises an immediate investigation. I've already called a meeting for tonight. Thank you for providing the input. With this being your first ghost tour we should have met or exceeded your expectations. Be assured I'll get to the bottom of this

We called Viator and spoke with an agent so we could pick a tour that had an inside portion because of the weather. We were told this tour went into the railroad museum and the opera house. We didn’t even talk about those two locations and the tour was completely outside.

I'm very sorry that via tour misinformed you. They completely missed the boat. As all of our websites indicate , our tours are conducted outside and we don't go into any of the buildings. They should have paid specific attention to your request. Please call via tour and ask for a refund and I'll approve it sorry for your inconvenience John 832-245-0492
