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!

Captain John did an excellent job! One of the most informative ghost tours we’ve done! He kept it engaging, knew his audience, was entertaining, and very knowledgeable about Galveston history. Pirate jokes on point! Also who doesn’t want to have a HOT pirate for a tour guide? This was actually the second ghost tour we’ve done on Galveston (different tour company) and it was much better than the first! This was our kids very first ghost tour and they loved it! We will definitely do another next time! Bonus points for military discount! It was our son’s first leave after boot camp and he was so proud to be able to use the discount, and be honored because of his service. Thank you again Captain John! Can’t wait for next time!

It was on the low end of ok, guides mic was not loud and so anyone who was towards the back were left straining to hear. You couldn’t really bunch up to hear cause of the heat and of course covid. Then he talked about things when we were walking and chances of hearing that where low. Been on several of these in different states and this one just lacking… win some and lose some right.

Sorry you were disappointed. The Strand can be very loud and sometimes the guides forget to adjust for the noise on the weekends. We hope the rest of your stay in Galveston was more enjoyable
