What To Expect
Old City Cemetery
Old City Cemetery in Galveston is over 200 years old and is said to be one of the most unnerving sites in Texas. In that time, the cemetery has become the resting place for a menagerie of souls who bring a touch of mischief, mystique and the macabre to the island’s haunted history. You will meet “The Lady In Black” who will uncover the mysteries at the heart of Texas’ more unsettling stories.
We will tour historic gravestones & call for Spirits.

5.00We brought our teens and their friends for a tour on a quick summer trip. We all enjoyed Ms. Annette as our guide. She did a wonderful job and is very knowledgeable of the area and cemetery. Even my teens afterwards told us they enjoyed it. She is sweet and relatable. We would definitely take this tour again.

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time on the cemetery tour! It was the perfect mix of history, storytelling, and humor. The tour was incredibly informative, and we learned so much about the area’s past while still having plenty of laughs along the way. A special shoutout to our guide, “Lady in Black” she was fantastic! Her knowledge, personality, and passion for the stories she shared made the experience unforgettable. She kept everyone engaged from start to finish. As an added bonus, we captured several interesting orbs in our photos throughout the tour, which made the experience even more exciting for those of us who enjoy the paranormal side of things. Whether you’re interested in local history, ghost stories, or just looking for a unique and entertaining evening, we highly recommend this tour! 👻🖤✨
Very informative and emotional at times.

5.00Incredible tour guide. So knowledgeable about the history and the cemetery, and absolutely an awesome tour! Thoroughly recommend. A real historian giving such a level of detail. Very kid friendly. Both had a blast, my 14 year old with the ghosts, my 5 year old with the flowers in the cemetary! Also, including 2 photos taken less than a second apart. Zoom in on the green circle. Nothing there, then 0.5 second later a bright light and it looks like something is holding it!
Great tour and highly recommend

5.00We had so much fun! Learned a lot and enjoyed the phenomenal stories. We’re avid ghost tour travelers and have been all over TX. This was our first tour in Galveston and highly recommend. I also took my kids ages 16, 7 and 9 and it was appropriate for them. The youngest got scared a few times, but loved learning and the group was great for all ages.
