Dash Beardsley's Original Ghost Tour on the Strand is Galveston’s most popular ghost tour and the tour that started it all for Ghost Tours of Galveston Island. Like all of his tours, Dash has built this tour based on years of research, personal experience, and accounts from local residents.
This year-round walking tour takes guests through one of the busiest areas in Galveston; The Strand. The Strand is a historical district at the heart of downtown Galveston and is known for its rich history and haunting past. Tour-goers will visit multiple locations in The Strand and learn about the historical events that have shaped the city, and hear haunting stories from the past.
This unique tour provides our guests with a historical context into why Galveston is one of the most haunted cities in the world and hot spot for paranormal activity. The Original Tour of the Strand is a family-friendly tour and is a great choice for those taking their first ghost tour, or who would like to learn more about the history of Galveston.

Dash Beardsley's Restless Spirits Tour
This is Dash’s sequel to the Original Ghost Tour on the Strand. This tour focuses less on historical information and delves into more modern events, stories, and reports of paranormal activity. Explore areas of The Strand, not included in the original tour.
This tour has a bit of a darker feel than the Original Ghost Tour on the Strand and does include some unsavory stories and subject matter, which is most appropriate for older audiences. We do curb the language for younger tour-goers, but we consider the tour PG.
Through a number of personal connections and accounts, Dash Beardsley has uncovered hidden secrets from some of the most popular establishments on the Strand. This behind-the-scenes information provides a unique insight into the darker side of modern Galveston.
