Take a 1.5-hour segway tour along the haunted streets of Galveston! You'll hear stories about some of the local ghostly occurrences: wailing in the night, translucent figures floating upstairs and objects seeming to move of their own accord. The island city has so many that it's been ranked among the 10 most haunted cities in the country. On this haunted segway tour your guide will share information about the most haunted city in Texas, and one of the most haunted cities in the country. Galveston Island has often been described as the cemetery with a beach attached, as the small island on the south eastern coast has survived plagues, great fires, war and hurricanes.
On September 8, 1900, the island was struck by a hurricane that holds the record as the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The city was desolated and an estimated 6,000-8,000 were killed. One-quarter of the population was dead overnight and most of the buildings on the city were leveled. To this day, contractors digging on Galveston Island still find shallow unmarked graves of storm victims.
With all this history is it any wonder that almost every building on this small barrier island can report some kind of paranormal activity? Some accounts include ghostly children playing in the aisles of the Sea Wall Walmart, a desperate nun slamming doors in the halls of the Galvez Hotel searching for a lost child and wounded civil war soldiers wandering along the beach. It's even said that famous pirate Jean Lafitte haunts Trinity Bay and frightens away treasure hunters trying to find his hidden gold.
On your 1.5-hour segway tour, you will travel through the history of the island, and get to know some of the paranormal hot spots along the Strand District. Just be sure to keep your eyes, ears and mind open. You never know when and where you might come in contact with the spirit of a dead civil war solider, a pirate or a victim of yellow fever!
