A Civil War soldier marches up and down the lobby in front of everybody to see. A little boy plays in the hotel rumored to be the ghost of a child run over outside the front of the hotel. One helpful ghost will even unpack for you!

A terrifying surge of sudden deaths has swept across Galveston. Countless souls of the island’s deceased have not journeyed into the beyond. Their spirits can be found lurking in the shadows, alleys, staircases, and they haunt THE STRAND daily! The 19th-century constructions on THE STRAND have turned into ghost havens. The specters inside are eagerly awaiting your visit.
Join us for a 90-minute journey on foot as we delve into the intriguing spectral occurrences on the strand, the initial street of terror. Hurricanes, warfare, infernos, and outbreaks! Pirate Jean Lafitte has even transformed the island into a thieves’ harbor. Galveston is teeming with more spirits than any other city in the U.S.
As we walk in the dark of the night, ethereal figures will drift by the windows. Shadows will pop up unexpectedly and items will mysteriously move on their own as we huddle close for shared safety. We never know the horrors that await us at each turn. Watch out and prepare to be frightened! After all, Galveston is in essence “a graveyard with an adjoining beach.”
