For tickets, visit www.GhostToursOfGalvestonIsland.com.

Haunted Mayfield Manor, which is a block away from The Tremont House, is housed in an 1867 building that served as a morgue after the 1900 Storm. For details, visit www.HauntedMayfieldManor.com. Other tour options include Galveston Cemetery Tours, www.GalvestonCemeteryTours.com, and Galveston Graveyard Tours, www.GalvestonGraveyardTours.com.

The Tremont House, A Wyndham Grand® Hotel, has had its own reports of ghostly activity by guests and employees. Occasionally, guests will post experiences on guest reviews and share with staff but the hotel does not offer a ghost tour at this time. The hotel’s sister property Hotel Galvez & Spa®, A Wyndham Grand® Hotel, is offering a public ghost tour accompanied by a three-course dinner for $40 per person on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well as on Sunday as part of an overnight package. During the one-hour tour, the Hotel Galvez concierge will guide guests through the historic hotel’s ghostly past using popular ghost hunting tools to conduct a paranormal investigation. The “Ghosts of the Galvez” overnight package, which includes the ghost tour and dinner and a deluxe guest room, is offered on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays in October. This year, the hotel has added a special Halloween Night Ghost Package to celebrate the haunted holiday. For reservations, visit www.HotelGalvez.com.
