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.
Meet Your Guides
Tyler
Voted “Best Tour Guide in Texas” by Texas Monthly and featured across national television & radio shows, Tyler has given more historic galveston ghost tours than any one else. He quickly became a ghost believer after a spooky encounter at one of our haunted tour stops, a story of which he tells & shares photos on every tour.
Noelle
Noelle is an architecture and history major who fell for Galveston’s buildings & stories. With a dark style and a deep respect for buildings’ architects, she connects design details to the people who lived and died inside them, cutting through myths without killing the mystery. Her tours feel like walking the city with someone who knows the blueprints and the secrets.
Elias
Elias is a former journalist who moved to the island a decade ago and never left. His tours feel less like ghost stories and more like being let in on something you weren’t quite supposed to hear.
