Step into the shadows of Galveston’s historic downtown and experience the tour that started it all—The Original Strand Ghost Tour. Founded in 1998 by the legendary Dash Beardsley, this is Galveston’s longest-running and most celebrated ghost tour, now led by Spooky Gin and your storytellers.

As night falls over the Strand Historic District, your guide will lead you past 19th-century buildings still echoing with the spirits of the island’s past. Hear tales of restless souls from the Great Storm of 1900, haunted hotels, tragic love stories, and the lingering presence of Galveston’s most famous ghosts.

With a perfect balance of history, mystery, and spine-tingling fun, this walking tour offers an unforgettable glimpse into Galveston’s haunted past. Whether you’re a skeptic, a true believer, or just looking for a unique evening adventure, the Original Strand Tour delivers a chilling experience unlike any other.
