1000 tours later i still enjoy sharing this experience. This a 1.5 hour walking ghost tour that explores history and the paranormal of the city.

I’ll give you the inside scoop on the historical information of all of Galveston’s best ghost stories. The ghost tour guides take you on a grand expedition throughout Downtown Galveston and beyond while you soak in the sights and sounds of our eerie island. Even the most seasoned ghost hunter will be delighted. I’ll offer a unique, rich history on all that Galveston island is and was and why this special place is considered the most haunted city in the United States. Filled with horror, Galveston’s ghost history is unmatched with episodes of murder, suicide, cannibalism, pirates, ghosts and visions that will plague your very soul. Unworldly visions that cannot be rationally explained. The stories that you’ll hear as we venture on our 1½ hour walking Ghost Tour, past the gilded mansions and palaces are only whispered about on Galveston.

At the Candle Bar, you will have the opportunity to learn a new skill and create 2 unique one-of-a-kind candles. Come pull up a chair and we'll serve you a drink of your choice (red or white wine, or a local beer). Take in the beautiful aesthetics of the store and make something special for someone special...or simply just yourself. Here you can take a piece of Houston back home with you. We'll start off by teaching you the process behind making your own personal candle and the science behind building a fragrance. Then we'll walk you through building your own fragrance. Once we've completed that, we will guide you through making and pouring your own candle. While the candle is drying, feel free to shop at Forth & Nomad, or relax on our beautiful, wooden patio under our historic oak trees. Please allow up to 3 hours for your candles to dry before taking them home. You can also pick up your candles at another time. We hope to see you soon!
