    Al's Ghost tour : a small group experience

    4.9 (183)

    Powered by Viator

    Galveston, TX

    Welcome. 2025 tours later, I still enjoy sharing this small group walking tour with people who appreciate history and that which science can't readily explain, the Paranormal. Paranormal and historical research has given me so much joy, and I continue to want to share that with others. I love Galveston and appreciate those that keep it beautiful. All info beyond factual history is my personal creation, my personal accounts, my collective evidence created since business inception, and my sole creative intellectual and physical property.
