Highlights
  • 1859 Ashton Villa - Ashton Villa

The extremely wealthy eccentric Betty Brown’s spirit is forever roaming the elegant halls of Ashton Villa. Many have seen Betty wearing a turquoise dress and carrying a fan during lavish event held at the mansion. Even death can’t keep Betty from being the life of the party…and scare the guests half to death.

  • Open Gates Conference Center - Sealy Mansion (Open Gates)

John Sealy wanted to the best for his family so, we decided to build them the largest and most lavish house on the Island. The children play room was in the attic and had a Broadway stage. To this day the children continue to perform for anyone brave enough to witness the stage doors opening and closing by themselves. Magnolia Sealy, the head of the household is seen wandering the halls too shy to speak with visitors.

Additional Information

As we embark on our hour and a half Ghost Tour walk, exploring the ornamented mansions and estates only mentioned in hushed voices in Galveston, the narratives you’re about to encounter are not for the faint of heart. Inhabitants here are too petrified to engage conversation with the deceased, terrified of unbolting the doors to the underworld. We’re about to unravel the terrifying, grisly secrets that nestle within the ghost havens, secrets preserved for over a century and a half! Through extensive research into countless photographs and letters from those who refuse to rest in peace, we cautiously dive into the haunted past and expose why this relentless supernatural presence still clings to the island. Arm yourself with garlic, crosses and silver projectiles as we plunge into the ghost hunting darkness. This Ghost Tour is designed to satisfy both believers and skeptics. As you transform from a doubter to a ghost chaser, uncover Galveston’s unmatched and intriguing paranormal history. This tour is suitable for all age groups. However, brace yourself, as you might find yourself sprinting…

sprinting quite speedily to elude the grasp of the apparitions.

Interesting history - Interesting history and a fun night. Don’t forget to bring your water bottle like we did though because Texas in the summer is hot, even after dark!

Not a ghost enthusiast but I had fun! - It was a really cool experience. I'm not personally into ghost and paranormal stuff, it freaks me out. I went with my son who was intersection and I wasn't disappointed. The history was cool to learn and we all had a great time as a group.
