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…

Tyler was awesome! He knew a lot about Galveston history. No bed and breakfast for us! And we’ll be sure to stay away from the Walmart! 😬

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you had a great time with Tyler—he definitely knows his Galveston history! Sounds like the ghost stories made an impact—no B&Bs or Walmart visits for you! Hope to see you again for another chilling adventure!

Fun experience! I went at the 4 PM one and wonder if it would be better after dark but also feel like the experience would be totally different taking photos so it just depends. Tour guide was full of stories and shared some photos of ghosts that others had taken on different tours. It was very interesting to learn about the history of Galveston.. I had no idea!

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and found Galveston's history fascinating. The 4 PM tour offers a unique perspective, and you're right—after dark brings a whole different vibe! We'd love to have you back for a nighttime experience. Happy hauntings!

Guide was knowledgeable but., didn't do anything to build a mood. Supposed 90 minute tour lasted 60.

I'm sorry you were disappointed. The tour guide may have cut the tour short because of impending rain it was storming the day you came didn't want you to get caught in the middle of a rain shower rainy days are very difficult
