Wow, it’s no surprise why you have so many individuals following you online.
Will be in Galveston on Oct 27. Was trying to see if it’s possible to do a cemetery tour. There’s only two of us. If not we will try and do something soon. Thanks
I’m happy to add a tour on that date to the schedule. What time of day were you thinking?
Kathleen
Do you have any ghost tours or cemetery tours for 10/16/2021? Thank you Heather
No, Heather, I’m sorry I have other engagements on that date. I do have a late cemetery tour on the 15th. Are you only in town on Saturday?
Hi Kathleen,
Are you at all available to schedule a Strand tour Saturday 10/16/21? I am only in town for that night sadly
Thank you
Unfortunately I have an appearance scheduled for that night. I hope that you can visit the Island another time.
Do you have any cemetery tours in November, like the 8th through the 12th or the 22nd through the end of November?
I just noticed that you inquired about a tour next week or in November. Which do you prefer?
Do you have a cemetery tour on Oct. 26th or 27th for 4 people?
Hi, Vicki
I’m happy to open up a tour for Wednesday, Oct. 27 if that works for you. Are you interested in an “after dark” version or daylight only? After dark would begin at either 6 or 6:30. Let me know which you prefer – since you’ll be the first to sign up for it you can choose. I’ll send you the link for registration as soon as you decide.
We will be in town on Sunday June 11th.
Wonderful. I have several tours available that week. Just check the listings on the Tours page. Enjoy your visit!
Are you still leading these tours? We will be in town July 6-11 and are trying to find a good history and ghost walking tour.
Yes, my tours and the ticket links can be found uinder the “Tours” page link. July dates will be posted soon!
First, We met your daughter Thanksgiving day as she was our server at Hannah’s here in Denton. Somehow, we started talking about our trip to Galveston January 20 and 20 to see the USS Texas in drydock and she mentioned you did tours (she also said you were the coolest person she has ever known. Good for you, Mom). We also saw you with Michael and Ashley at the Mansard House on TV.
Are you available for a tour Saturday or Sunday night, January 20 or 21 ? We’re staying at the Tremont.

And thank you for the kind words about (and from) my daughter! That makes my heart happy.
