There is a company now using a name that makes people think they are dealing with Ghost Tours of Galveston. This is a company that without permission is using information copyrighted by, and owned solely by, Ghost Tours of Galveston. Suddenly, just before the launch date of this dishonest tour, there are e-mails sent by fictitious people claiming to have had a bad Ghost Tours of Galveston experience.
A coincidence?
We think not.
Ghost Tours of Galveston continues to be America's number one ghost tour on Haunted America Tours web site.
Ghost Tours of Galveston has been part of the Disney family for several years. Disney continues to have Ghost Tours of Galveston as a featured tour. Disney does not do business with companies with a bad reputation. Disney knows the good reputation of Ghost Tours of Galveston; according to their review, "Good-for-kids rating; five stars" (http://family.go.com/travel/things-to-do/texas/houston/poi-606926-ghost-tours-of-galveston).
These false and malicious e-mails have, in fact, served to cause people to take a closer look at Ghost Tours of Galveston and come away with the assurance that we ARE the number ONE Ghost Tour in America and have the quality and dedication we have always had to bring you the very best Ghost, Haunted, and Mystery Tours Galveston can offer.
Our reputation and numbers have never been better than they are today. We confidently stand behind them. Ghost Tours of Galveston gives the actual names of people who have taken our tour. Ghost Tours of Galveston has a place where people who take our tour can post their real opinion of the tour. Unlike this other company, Ghost Tours of Galveston does not make up assessments about its own tour and post them under fictitious names.
Throughout history there have been people who think that, if they tell a BIG LIE loud and long enough, people will believe this is the truth. Expose the latest practitioner of this deceit that you will look for the truth, and will not accept less than the truth. Thank you for your continued support.

Behind the hair and sunglasses,
there lies a brilliant mind. A mind that with
a ton of creativity, sheer force of will, and
a little bit of luck, created Galveston,
Texas' very first haunted walk of the Strand.
Always intrigued by the mysterious "Dash"
a true steward of Galveston's past, and loves
nothing more than entertaining a crowd while
giving them a glimpse into a side of Galveston
that for decades remained hidden.

The idea for this
song came from a varied view of "The Near Death
Experience". I read extensively on the subject
and heard from a few people who have had this
experience. I have found that the whole
thing is completely fascinating and immersed
myself in it. I really absorbed everything
I could find on the subject, good, bad, scientific,
or unscientific. I discovered that while
talking to a few, there seems to be a common
thread -- the ring of truth as though this was
a real life occurrence. Perhaps, even
more than our real life and existence.
The whole ghost phenomenon was familiar to me,
therefore, it fell into place easily being a
very close subject to my heart. The Creator
part of the song is a very personal thing and
may be viewed by others as different though
I find the commonality here in every near death
experience, even the unpleasant ones which are
few. I hope by writing this song to be
able to somehow open the minds of some to the
subject. The music is simple and is intended
to be that way as the lyrics are the most powerful
source of this composition. I had some help
on the keyboard and drums by my s/o, Tamera,
who also shot the video and was a good bit of
heart and soul to this project.All and all I
think it gets the point across.I'm sure in the
end, we will all know for sure about the song
and the experience...
Ghostly
Regards,
Dash
Somewhere
between the darkness and the light,
my spirit soared through the clouds at twilight,
I saw the forests and I saw the streams,
Below my feet the Earth above angelic gleams,
Crossing Over.....
I'm Crossing Over.....
Into the blue and then into the black,
Shining stars and planets....will they bring
me back?
Brilliant light....is it Him...forever seen?
Or am I seeing a glimpse of the beginning?
Crossing Over......
I'm Crossing Over.....
Crossing Over......
Crossing Over......
(guitar)
I'm drawn into this Rainbow Man of pure light,
Someone I've known before...my eyes open...heal
my sight,
Angelic beings and souls from other lives,
Open the door and say:"No,Its not your time"
Crossing Over.....
I'm Crossing Over.....Yeah
Crossing Over.....well,well,well
I'm Crossing Over....yeah,yeah,yeah
Texas Traveler: Galveston Ghosts
Now, you
might not believe in this nonsense, but even
if you don't, the walking tour is worthwhile
for the history it reveals. As Beardsley says,
"If you're expecting my head to spin around
while I spew pea soup for you, you will be
sorely disappointed." But if you like a good
story, Beardsley has plenty.
