Come visit the graves of those with stories to tell. As seen on Texas Country Reporter, proves that truth can be stranger than fiction. Join us in wandering through one of Galveston’s oldest cemeteries this Halloween season to hear stories about colorful characters from Galveston’s past including murder victims, movie stars, military men and more.
Your host is Kathleen Maca, the author of “Galveston’s Broadway Cemeteries,” “Ghosts of Galveston” and “Ghostly Tales from Galveston.” A local historian and writer, she has spent over 45 years researching historic cemeteries.
Come in costume or as you are – it will also be a great opportunity to take some photos to post for Halloween.

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.
