Spooky Strand Ghost Tour in Galveston booking from $25.00

Spooky 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!

Absolutely amazing tour! Me and my husband took the tour, he's a veteran and they let him on the tour for free! You don't see that with a lot of companies nowadays. They are amazing towards their vets. I didn't know there was so much history in Galveston. Our tour guide (sorry I'm horrible with names) was really awesome. Even threw in a couple of hilarious jokes that had us all laughing. It was really just genuine fun. Great way to spend a couple of hours. Thank you!

We took this tour on July 23, with Cheryl as our guide, and LOVED it. We were actually so tired by the time 8:00 rolled around that evening that our group discussed not going at all, and then agreed that if the tour wasn't EXCELLENT, we could just quit it early and go on back to the house. In short, our expectations were pretty high, but it did not disappoint at all. Right from the beginning, we were intrigued, and forgot about any plans to skip out. We got some great pictures and learned lots of historical facts about the island in general. Cheryl is a great storyteller, and the tour moved at just the right pace, allowing for plenty of pictures, but not dragging or lingering too long in any one place. I would definitely recommend it as a fun thing to do during your stay.
