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.

From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
Ashton Villa The extremely wealthy eccentric Betty Brown’s spirit is forever roaming the elegant halls of Ashton Villa. Many have seen Betty wearing a turquoise dress and carrying a fan during lavish event held at the mansion. Even death can’t keep Betty from being the life of the party…and scare the guests half to death.
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.

Literally not f***ing worth the 73$ I paid you walk the block visit houses and don’t even get to go in you could’ve literally did that s*** for free waste of money
Hi, thanks for your feedback. The entire itinerary our of tour is available in the description and we explicitly state that we don’t not enter any houses, as they are all private. We are sorry you didn’t enjoy your experience. Please give us a call to see how we can help you out. Thanks,

Hello, We did investigate this, and after reviewing our records, we confirmed that this review was not for our company. Our 10:00 PM Galveston Island Ghost Tour operated as scheduled that evening, and all of our guides and guests were present and accounted for. We do not have your name in our records and We're sorry to hear about your experience. We hope you're able to reach the correct tour company so they can address what happened.
