Ghost ON THE STRAND
The hurricane’s wind slashed over Galveston Island on September 8, 1900 and unleashed a horror that no one who survived ever forgot. The survivors on THE STRAND were blasted by plague and embroiled in an epic struggle to survive.
Galveston, their island home became a world stripped of its institutions and emptied by the GREAT FLOOD. Only to be filled again by the ghosts they left behind.
As we walk THE STRAND on our hour and half awesome adventure, we will be swept into the nightmare. Now trapped, the lost souls long forgotten have an unusual and haunting ties to this street. The unnatural forces concealed by the mist will begin to emerge. And what you’re about to hear you’ll never forget! You’ll encounter those whose motivation to remain behind in the spirit world vary - to prove or disprove something long past...and TO SEEK REVENGE.
Perhaps you can shrug them off as they breathe down your neck. Perhaps you can discount all the ghosts waiting and staring from behind every window and door.
Perhaps....but you won’t ever forget them.
We have searched letters, memoirs and oral histories. The vivid descriptions stand as moving testimony to the painful memories of those who WON’T STAY DEAD!
Join us on our ninety minute walking tour as we explore the gory, spooky and fascinating paranormal happenings on the strand...the original street of horror. Hurricanes, war, fire, and epidemics of diseases! The notorious pirate Jean Lafitte even turned the island into a den of thieves. Galveston has more ghosts than any other city in America.

What makes a ghost?
The paranormal researchers tell us that ghosts are formed in four ways; sudden death, demonic possession, habitual (they just don't want to leave), or unfinished business. When the 10,000 souls died in the great hurricane of September 8th of 1900, the massive loss seems to have triggered many of the most well known incidences of paranormal activity. It is further speculated that ghosts like to live near water, who knew.
