Short Description
  • Galveston may be known for its beaches and Victorian charm, but beneath its sunny surface lies a haunted legacy shaped by devastation, war, and loss. The Ghosts of Galveston Tour is a 90-minute walking tour perfect for all ages, exploring the island’s most enduring hauntings and tragic histories.
  •  Along the way, you’ll hear stories of Galveston’s original inhabitants, Civil War soldiers, long-lost orphans, and storm-battered survivors. From the eerie glow of a church altar cross to phantom children playing in the halls of modern buildings, each stop reveals a new layer of the island’s paranormal personality.
  •  You'll learn about the impact of the deadly 1900 hurricane, meet the mysterious ghosts who linger in historic hotels and opera houses, and even hear about a cannon so beloved it got its own memorial. Galveston’s haunted stories aren’t just spine-chilling—they’re deeply human, filled with bravery, grief, and echoes of a bygone era.
  •  This tour balances spooky storytelling with historical depth, making it perfect for families, curious travelers, and ghost enthusiasts alike.
