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.
One of over 200 historical markers on the island, this is the former residence of Olga Samaroff who is known to still haunt the home until this day.

Only one person ever liked living at the Normandy Inn and that was the man who brought Satanism to the island. One week after construction, a young boy threw himself out of the window… AND LIVED. When asked why he did such a thing, he replied, “Something evil was going to kill me”. Now The Normandy Inn has become a pilgrimage site for those who practice voodoo, black magic, Satanism and witch craft. Many sacrificial rituals have taken place here including… A HUMAN! To this day, it is still used as a portal the hell.
Many guests to this hotel have told stories of a lonely lady wandering the halls, some even having full conversations with her. But in the morning, realizing that she never existing at all!

I very much appreciated that they didn't use any gimmicks to make things look haunted (if I want that, I'll go with a Halloween event). Jeff, my tour guide, just recounted the stories and showed us places. I also appreciated that when telling stories like that of Robert Durst, he kept away from the house since it is a private residence (I'm sure the owner appreciates the respect, too). After the story, Jeff took the group by there for pictures. I was a little disappointed I didn't see anything, but I mostly came for the stories anyway. And I'd rather they not pay someone to pretend just so everyone "sees a ghost."
I enjoyed the cemetery tour. It would have been better had the tour guide not been so worried about the homeless guy walking around who wasn’t bothering us
Jeffrey our tour guide was very nice the tour was great and learned a lot
Thomas was such an awesome story teller and we learned so much about Galveston history and about the ghosts around the strand. Definitely reccomend. Took some random photos of the Railroad station and zoomed in. Did I just catch a pic Mr Watson?
Thank you so much for the great review! Thomas is a fantastic storyteller, and we’re so glad you enjoyed both the history and the hauntings of Galveston. And that Railroad Museum photo sounds very interesting! 👻 We hope you’ll join us again on another tour!
