The Ghosts of Galveston
Early autumn is a time for cooler weather, pumpkin spice and all things ooky and spooky. Whether you prefer silly spooky like Hocus Pocus or scary spooky like The Shining, if you like to be frightened, fall is your season. Although you can take a haunted ghost tour of most big cities at any time in the year, taking a ghost tour around Halloween time adds an extra layer of creepy to your happy hauntings.
Galveston, one of Texas’ most beloved beachfront cities, has a number of creepy tales told by locals that will give you chill. But, if you want to experience the thrills firsthand, you can book a haunted ghost tour during your Galveston trip. Hear from local tour guides the tales of things that go bump in the night and mysteries surrounding some of the city’s most notable historic events, such as the great hurricane of 1900. If you want to learn about the unsettled souls who many claim still roam the beaches of Galveston, book yourself on one of these haunted tours… if you dare!
