Wycieczka Ghost On the Strand Ghost

Przegląd
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.”

Muzeum Kolei Galveston
W szczytowym okresie ta stacja kolejowa widziała ponad 40 000 ludzi dziennie w drodze do barów, kasyn i burdeli Galveston. Inżynier o nazwisku William Watson zabawiał przechodzące tłumy, stając na rękach na osłonie silników. Pewnego niefortunnego dnia POślizgnął się i został natychmiast ścięty. Czapka typu derby nadal pewnie tkwiła na głowie, którą znaleźli O MILĘ DALEJ!

Wielka Opera z 1894 roku
Charles F. Coghlan, słynny brytyjski aktor, popłynął do Galveston, aby uświetnić scenę Wielkiej Opery. Ale biedny Karol zmarł, zanim podniesiono kurtynę. Co zrobić z ciałem tego dostojnego gościa? Czekając na odpowiedź WIELKA BURZA zburzyła wyspę i wyniosła trumnę Karola na morze. Płynął z Galveston do Prince Albert Sound, zanim w końcu dotarł do lądu… O MILĘ OD MIEJSCA, KTÓREGO CHARLES MIAŁ PRZEJŚĆ NA EMERYTURĘ!

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!

Learned a great deal on the history of galveston and even caught a few images of what looks to be the same lady in white in 2 separate building! A little creepy that she had followed us. Guide was knowledgeable and I love that it was suited for all ages.

Told we could wait 2 hrs for next tour. No social distancing, no masks. Waste of money - huge disappointment for the kids that were excited. Impossible to hear most of guide due to size.

Woke up to your review and I'm trying to piece together what happened last night. I am not offering what follows as an excuse but I feel you deserve an explanation as best I can. It turns out your tour turned out to be our perfect storm. It started with a great press review from Houston press according to the tour guides. I have not been able to locate the article yet. Second at the beginning of the month we started to offer all military , active or not free tours as a thank you and to help in these economically challenging times. We do not ask for reservations because our current reservation requires some sort of payment which is not what we wanted. Nor could we turn them away once they showed up. Next A very large group booked on a different tour than the rest of their party so they just decided to show up to your tour without any notification. The backup tour guide who was scheduled to show didn't answer the phone or respond to text. They lost their dog the day before and are grieving horribly. Being a dog lover I understand completely. There was an additional tour guide there but when she arived there was only a group of 17 soshe decided to let the other tour guide conduct it. And then everybody else showed up. she should have waited to make sure and more people didn't show up which she didn't . again that's our mistake. The bars on the strand were particularly active because of governor opened all the bars again. The music and crowds were larger than usual at 8:00 which meant the one tour guide had to complete with all of the noise. Again another tour guide or two should have been there . one was in crisis and one left thinking that it was going to be a low turnout. Next Apparently there was a backup on the ferry and several of the people scheduled for 6:00 got delayed in traffic so they just came to the eight. With regard to a mask, it has become such a political issue that I think it's inappropriate for a tour guide to engage in a conversation which often escalates from a simple discussion of safety. It would be much easier if there was a mandatory policy which we could then enforce. But the governor has not issued such an order . If we were all required to wear a mask I assure you our guides would be more than happy to enforce such a rule. Unfortunate without a rule we cannot impose what some people will think is our political position. As we get ready for our tours tonight I will make sure all tour guides are in place. however that does not make up for your disappointment last night. I want to thank you for pointing out the problem. I would offer you and and anybody else who is disappointed an immediate full refund but I don't know who you are. Please contact Viator and ask for a refund and they'll contact me and of course I'll approve it. Again I offer my sincerest apologies. It's most distressing that the children were disappointed. We all work very hard to bring the oral histories of Galveston to as many people as possible. Yesterday we simply missed the mark and as a result you had a terrible time on your tour We are so sorry.
