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.”

  • Galveston Railroad Museum, Galveston, Texas, United States
    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!

The presenters were very funny and sp00ky. They kept us entertained with ghost stories and gave a valuable history lesson while doing so

My friend and I had an amazing time - we went on off season so we got the added bonus of a very private tour! Our tour guide Annette was very knowledgeable about the history and it was obvious she was proud of her town. The ghost stories were creepy (as they should be) and it was very cool that she had taken photos around town and could show us some of her sightings. Thank you for a very fun night Annette!

Pirate John was a terrific host! We paused at three separate spots on the tour where we learned about the history of Galveston and the devastating effects of the 1900 storm. Our host was a great storyteller- he paused for distractions, sprinkled in some humor, and loaded his talk with amazing details. We even visited a spot he recommended after the tour for a chance to catch some pictures of ghosties. We passed some other tours along the way, but no one else was being entertained by a fully adorned, crooked walking pirate. Super fun and informative experience.
