Welcome. This is a unique small group experience. We don't go in any buildings and it is a walking tour. 1735 tours later, the tour continues to explore things science can't explain easily, the paranormal. I make the groups small for a more enjoyable tour.

1,735 tours later, I still enjoy sharing this with people who appreciate history, architecture, and the paranormal. Paranormal and historical research has given me so much enjoyment, and I continue to want to share that with others. I love Galveston and appreciate those that keep it beautiful.

I keep my tour authentic, only using info from my personal paranormal experiences and historical logs.

All info beyond factual history is my personal creation, my personal accounts, collective evidence created since business inception, and my sole creative intellectual property.

I'll help you try to get your own paranormal evidence which is what I'm passionate about.
