Overview

Unlike other cemetery tours on Galveston Island, our tour is thoroughly researched by academics. This is the only cemetery tour that takes you to the sites where actual apparitions have appeared and paranormal happenings have been sighted.

Meeting points

You will meet “THE Lady In Black” near the corner of 40th St. and Broadway, halfway down 40th St. to the middle of the cemetery where there is a lane dividing the cemetery in half. Park on 40th St. - halfway down the block by the gate

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Old City Cemetery

    Old City Cemetery in Galveston is over 200 years old and is said to be one of the most unnerving sites in Texas. In that time, the cemetery has become the resting place for a menagerie of souls who bring a touch of mischief, mystique and the macabre to the island’s haunted history. You will meet “The Lady In Black” who will uncover the mysteries at the heart of Texas’ more unsettling stories.

Our tour guide (Annette)...

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour guide (Annette) was very knowledgeable of Galveston’s history and that of the cemetery. She had several great stories behind some of the cemetery’s residents. While we didn’t experience any supernatural activity, she showed us some incredible photos she had taken - a nun from the orphanage that was a victim of the 1900 hurricane and a little boy named Albert. Wish we had more time to hear more stories. Even if you’re not a believer, you’ll still enjoy learning about Galveston’s history from a slightly different perspective.

Learned history and got spooked!

Published on Jan, 2025

Went on the tour on the day Nicaragua’s Smith died and definitely got spooked. I loved learning about Galveston’s history and its resilience after so many tragic events. Annette was amazing, shes very knowledgeable and a great tour guide! I’ll be back for the other historic tours

A glimpse into Galveston history

Published on Jan, 2025

Had a great time with Annette I.e. The lady in black. She was so sweet and we loved learning the history and hearing stories of some of the people buried at the cemetery. She is very knowledgeable and the way she cares for the cemetery and the people there is incredible. Highly recommend!

Great cemetery tour in Galveston

Published on Jan, 2025

Jeff did an awesome job; it ended up being a tour for just me and my family of the main cemetery in Galveston, and he provided us with a wealth of knowledge. Well worth it!
