Overview

The stories that you’ll hear as we venture on our 1½ hour walking Ghost Tour, past the gilded mansions and palaces are only whispered about on Galveston. People here are too afraid to open a dialog with the dead… afraid to unlock the gates of hell. We’ll unravel the horrible, scary secrets that lurk inside the ghost sanctuaries… secrets kept for the past 150 years! We have researched stacks of photographs and letters from those who won’t stay dead! We dive warily into the haunted past and uncover the reasons why this unstoppable paranormal force still grips the island. Bring your garlic, crosses and silver bullets as we descend into the ghost hunt darkness. This Ghost tour is for believers and nonbelievers alike. You’ll turn from skeptic to ghost hunter and learn about Galveston’s unparalleled and fascinating paranormal history along way. This tour is appropriate for all ages. But beware, you may have to run fast… very fast to escape the clutches of the ghosts.

N/A

Sealy Mansion (Open Gates) John Sealy wanted to the best for his family so, we decided to build them the largest and most lavish house on the Island. The children play room was in the attic and had a Broadway stage. To this day the children continue to perform for anyone brave enough to witness the stage doors opening and closing by themselves. Magnolia Sealy, the head of the household is seen wandering the halls too shy to speak with visitors.

Dry fun and informative tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Fun experience! I went at the 4 PM one and wonder if it would be better after dark but also feel like the experience would be totally different taking photos so it just depends. Tour guide was full of stories and shared some photos of ghosts that others had taken on different tours. It was very interesting to learn about the history of Galveston.. I had no idea!

Chilling ghost stories and fine old houses!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was so popular that we had to be broken into two groups! Of my five Galveston ghost tours this one was the most informative and the most frightful. Here we took to the residential streets, passing all these grand, old homes while hearing the chilling stories. Our guide even had a personal story of being pushed down a staircase at one residence. “I hate this house,” he said while showing genuine fear of the place. He also showed a photo revealing the spine-chilling tale of how a member of his tour suddenly got scratches on her back from just being at one of the haunted sights. If ghosts aren’t your thing, the tour was worth the time just to see all the cool, old houses on the tour!

Take lots of pics!

Great tour. Missed the Lady in Black but Lori did a great job filling in. Here's a couple of photos with some energy captured.

Good night out.
