Your Itinerary

Galveston Railroad Museum

At its height this railroad station saw over 40,000 people a day on their way to Galveston's bars, casinos and brothels. An engineer by the name of William Watson would entertain the passing crowds by doing handstands on the cattle guard of the engines. One unfortunate day he SLIPPED and was immediately decapitated. A derby hat was still securely sitting on the head they found A MILE AWAY!

The Tremont House

SO many dignitaries, soldiers, politicians and even presidents have checked in… BUT SOME NEVER CHECKED OUT. Crying sobs are heard on the stairwells and in the halls. 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!

Grand 1894 Opera House

Charles F. Coghlan a famous British actor sailed to Galveston to grace the stage of The Grand Opera House. But poor Charles died before the curtain was ever raised. What to do with this distinguished visitor’s body? While waiting for the answer THE GREAT STORM demolished the island and carried Charles coffin out to sea. It floated from Galveston to Prince Albert Sound before it finally made land…ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE CHARLES WAS GOING TO RETIRE!

Good History lesson about the city with a few ghost stories in the mix. Nice way to spend an evening learning about the city.

I take ghost tours in every city that I visit and I Just had the best ghost tour I have ever been on with Thomas. He was very knowledgeable and even spent a half hour extra with us answering questions and telling even more history becouse he didn't have another your after ours. I did the storm of 1900 tour

Fun tour! Our guide, Thomas did such a great job telling interesting stories about the history of Galveston and details of some of the island’s most famous ghosts. Very entertaining—we all enjoyed the tour and Thomas’s schtick.

Thomas was an excellent tour guide! He was extremely personable and was easy to converse with! He was exceptionally knowledgeable in the history and had an answer for every question! I’ve been on several other tours and Thomas, by far, was the best guide!

History was very interesting. Great guide! We could hear him well! Glad we gave this a go! Would not recommend for under 12 since there is lots of info on death.

Thomas is such a good storyteller. You learn a whole lot on this tour! He's good at keeping people together on the tour and puts a lot of passion into telling the history! I would definitely give it a go! The reveal at the end is the best part. (But you gotta go on the tour to know what I'm talking about!)
