Storm on the Strand Ghost Tour in Galveston booking from $25.00

Storm 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!

Our guide was Andrew, he was fantastic! He told us a lot of history of the area and stories of things that happened in the buildings on the tour and under the ground we were standing on. Stories of deaths, strange phenomenon, pirates and mafia. Things you won't get from history books. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour, so we could talk a lot with Andrew and had a great time. He had us sit in benches wherever we could, so we were not walking or standing the whole time, which was good for my husband's bad knee.

Great tour, Nicki was a wonderful guide! The last picture, my husband took as she was telling us we were standing on a mass grave! We were not expecting that! Had a really good time and definitely recommend going.

Pirate John was a fantastic tour guide! He is a gifted story teller and we learned a lot about the Galveston Hurricane. Our group was three small children and three adults, and the tour really was excellent for all ages. Pirate John entertained the kids with pirate jokes and chances to earn pirate’s gold. When my five year old work up the next morning, the first thing he asked was if he could go back to Galveston for another ghost tour with Pirate John. That said, the material was also thoroughly engaging for adults as well. 10/10 recommend!
