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.

5.00Annette was very knowledgeable and respectful of the cemetery and its “residents” We gained knowledge about the cemetery and Galveston that we were not aware of. No apparitions seen but a possible light orb.
Great and Fun

Not Our Cup of Tea

3.00I am history teacher and this was much more focused on paranormal investigation that really the history of the people buried there. It was interesting to hear about the raising of graves (or lack thereof) as they raised the level of the island. A lot of time spent trying to capture orbs (many of which are just lights as are in the middle of the city at night), and I felt our guide was too much into giving personal life advice. In contrast, Tyler who did the haunted city walk about outstanding as a storyteller who focused on the history of Galveston. We could have spent more time walking the cemetery rather than hanging out on a ledge with our guide for 30 minutes.

5.00Lady Saelym was our guide. It was the perfect day for a tour. 6pm. Overcast. Not hot at all. We learned a great combination of history and general information about the cemetery. We had a small group and she answered all of our questions. We had emf readers which were fun but none of us got red. I’d recommend it for sure. Great guide!
