The History-Lover’s Guide to Galveston’s Best Ghost Tour

April 18, 2025

Think You Have to Believe in Ghosts to Enjoy a Ghost Tour? Think Again!


You might be surprised to learn just how many people join our Galveston Ghost Tours without believing in ghosts at all!


At Spooky Galveston, we welcome skeptics and believers alike. As your Ghost Tour Guide, I often have guests who aren’t interested in the paranormal—they’re just along for the ride with a friend, partner, or family member who is intrigued by the supernatural.


But here’s the twist: even the non-believers end up loving the tour!


That’s because the Original Strand Ghost Tour isn’t just about spooky stories (though we have plenty of those). Our ghost stories are deeply rooted in Galveston history—real events, true accounts, and fascinating tales from the island’s rich and sometimes tragic past.


So whether you believe in ghosts or not, you’ll still walk away with an unforgettable experience and a deeper understanding of Galveston’s heritage.


Some of the historic highlights you might hear on one of our Ghost Tours include:


  • The incredible story of Galveston as a major immigration port


  • Why Galveston is nicknamed the Oleander City


  • The devastating impact of the 1900 Great Storm and how it shaped the city


  • Intriguing tales of prominent Galveston citizens who left their mark—and maybe still linger today...

 


And if you’re still not sure about joining a Ghost Tour, don’t worry—Spooky Galveston offers more than just ghosts!


We also offer:


  • Great Storm Tours


  • Architecture Tours


  • Women of Galveston Tours


  • Historical Cemetery Tours

          ...and more!

 


Whether you're a history lover, a curious traveler, or just looking for a unique way to explore Galveston, Spooky Galveston has a tour for you.


Come see the island in a new light—ghosts optional!
