SOME OF THE HAUNTED SITES YOU’LL SEE ON YOUR AWESOME ADVENTURE

The Normandy Inn

Built in 1912 as a boarding house at 23rd Street and Avenue K, this now-abandoned property is known as the “Demon House” and carries tales of a child throwing himself from a window shortly after construction, along with reports of satanic rituals and paranormal activity.

Ashton Villa

This 1859 Italianate mansion—built by Texas’s fifth richest man, James Moreau Brown—is reportedly haunted by his eccentric daughter Bettie, whose apparition has been seen wearing a turquoise gown on the second-floor landing and whose birthday mysteriously triggers unexplained activity in the house.

Robert Durst House

At 2213 Avenue K, millionaire heir Robert Durst hid in plain sight disguised as a mute woman named “Dorothy Ciner” before killing and dismembering his 71-year-old neighbor Morris Black in September 2001, dumping his body parts in Galveston Bay.

An Amazing addition to our vacation! We found them on Groupon, and it was such a great value that for our daughters first ghost tour it was perfect. I loved that they focused on the history, and empathy for the people, and brought laughter into their lives for those who lived life that way. Our guide was Blackwood Blake, and he was amazing. My daughter is young and he did great at making most stuff PG13 and letting us know when he couldn’t so he let us know to cover her ears or send her to take photos.

Thomas was awesome for the strand tour Thomas was awesome! He was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer everyone’s questions. We went on the ghost tour along The Strand and loved learning about the history of the 1900 hurricane, along with the ghost stories connected to the area. We would highly recommend taking a tour with him. Thank you!

WTH did I catch at the murder house First let me say, I went with friends thinking this was gonna be hehe haha. I really wasn’t anticipating getting anything. Our guide was showing us all the photos he got and I started to think oh crap this is for real. I’m not a skeptic and have had things active with me all my life just figured this was something to do in Galveston. We went to the murder house and as our guide Rob was talking about the one woman, the front light went off for a quick second and immediately back off. I didn’t think much of it because it’s a flood light but as we all started walking around it didn’t go off until we got right up on the fence. There must be a second light on the side of the house because me and my friend looked liked what is that? We go to the side alley and I got the images below. The first image is whisky, blurry! Second one there is a freaking cowboy standing on the trashcan. Third he kinda backs away and then last picture totally gone again. Freaked us out in real time. I didn’t review the photos from the front of the house until in the car ride home. Rob literally was translucent and missing limbs like stated in the story. I was like am I freaking crazy. Anyways, recommend this tour. Can’t wait for something spookier and even more scary.

Awesome Haunted Tour! Thomas and Dude were a blast 7/9/26 @8pm! We have always wanted to do a haunted tour. Thomas exceeded our expectations! My daughter and I loved the way he was detailed with the historical facts of sites visited and additional facts about Galveston. His quick wit and humor kept us engaged until the very end of our tour! So glad we were able to make this happen! Thank you Thomas and Dude!! Highly recommend!
