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.
