Ghost Tour
Ghost Tours of Galveston Description
Scary stories, spectral visions, the pirate Jean Lafitte -- they're all part of the Ghost Tours of Galveston experience. Colorful guide Dash Beardsley, a vision in black with a long coat sweeping behind him, leads the group along the historic Strand, past gas-lit lamps and horse-drawn carriages, telling about old Galveston and the ghosts who still reside there. It's only a moderately scary romp, with Dash pointing out where Civil War soldiers still guard or where a headless guy searches for his noggin. Will you actually see a ghost? Probably not, but Dash's earnest, eccentric style makes you believe it's possible.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: Dash likes kids and is happy to answer questions.
Pre-Teens & Teens: The tour is a great romp for a group of older kids, who will enjoy being scared en mass. Expect them to be more spooked by the causes of the haunting than by the ghosts themselves -- Dash goes into great detail about the numerous deaths from the Great Storm of 1900.
