About this Event
All aboard!
October is the perfect time to join the author of the book "Ghosts of Galveston" for a walk along Galveston's historic Strand – where history meets the supernatural.
Hear stories of some of the island's most famous ghosts and eerie history of spirits of Civil War soldiers, 1900 Storm victims and even a murderess that linger in the buildings and along the street, never quite able or willing to depart from their beloved Galveston.
Our tour will include an exclusive visit to the Galveston Railyard to hear about the ghostly apparitions that dwell along the tracks
We'll be walking at a leisurely pace, taking time to see if you can capture photos of ghosts through windows and on the street like so many have before. But don't be surprised if someone unseen tugs on your sleeve, or you feel a chill in the air...it's just their way of saying "hello."
Your host is Kathleen Maca, the author of "Galveston's Broadway Cemeteries," "Ghosts of Galveston," "Ghostly Tales of Galveston," "A History of the Hotel Galvez" and "Galveston's Tremont House." A local historian and writer, she has spent over 45 years researching historic cemeteries and folklore.
Her tours are recommended by the Texas Historic Commission, Visit Galveston and Texas Monthly Magazine.
We'll meet on the steps in front of the Shearn Moody Plaza Building (home of the Galveston Railroad Museum) at the intersection of 25th and Strand.
Please note:
Please wear comfortable walking shoes, and be aware of curbs and uneven walking paths. The Strand is well lit, so flashlights aren't necessary but you are welcome to bring one if you like.
**Tour is wheelchair accessible.
No video or audio recording allowed during the tour. STILL PHOTOS ARE ENCOURAGED-you never know who or what you might capture!
Guide takes no responsibility for injuries incurred during tour. Guests will be required to sign a waiver before entering the railyard. There are limited restroom opportunities on The Strand, so it is encouraged to "take care of business" ahead of time.
