Visite fantôme de Ghost On the Strand

Aperçu
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.”

À quoi s'attendre
1
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!
2
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!

Musée du chemin de fer de Galveston
À son apogée, cette gare ferroviaire a vu plus de 40 000 personnes par jour se rendre dans les bars, les casinos et les bordels de Galveston. Un ingénieur du nom de William Watson divertirait les foules de passage en faisant le poirier sur la garde du bétail des moteurs. Un jour malheureux, il a glissé et a été immédiatement décapité. Un chapeau derby était toujours solidement assis sur la tête qu'ils ont trouvée à UN MILE DE LOIN !

Grand opéra de 1894
Charles F. Coghlan, un célèbre acteur britannique, a navigué jusqu'à Galveston pour honorer la scène du Grand Opera House. Mais le pauvre Charles est mort avant que le rideau ne se lève. Que faire du corps de ce visiteur distingué ? En attendant la réponse, LA GRANDE TEMPÊTE a démoli l'île et emporté le cercueil de Charles en mer. Il a flotté de Galveston à Prince Albert Sound avant de finalement atterrir… ENVIRON UN MILE DE L'OÙ CHARLES ALLAIT PRENDRE SA RETRAITE !

This was quite a lame tour. We started the "tour" one block from the train museum, walked 1/2 block past the museum, then back to finish the tour across the street from our starting point. A whole 3 blocks in a straight line. Thomas, our guide pointed out Ike's High Water markers and 1900 storm markers on a building and told a little history of the 1900 storm. Then we walked to the museum. He told a story about a girl who jumped out a window. then we walked 1/2 block alongside the museum. Here he tediously dragged out a story about a boy and another about a mom and son who were all three run over by a train. He went into great detail about why the red-light district was so named. Then we walked back and finished up the tour across the street from where we started. Here he told us a little more about the 1900 storm. The end. Galveston has a truly rich ghost history, especially along the Strand, this tour did not come even close to doing that history justice! For our $125. this tour was a complete bust! 1/10 Do Not Recommend.
