Welcome To Houston Ghosts
Houston’s status as a southern port city may be a boon for industry, but its tragic history and location transformed it into one of the most haunted places in America, ranking right alongside New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, and St. Augustine. Reveal the truth of why Space City’s accursed past turned Texas into the most haunted state in the South.

A dark history packed with gruesome deaths and gut-wrenching stories will leave your teeth chattering on a Houston Ghosts haunted tour.
Founded in 1837, the Texas Capital has a rich history highlighted by shipbuilding, oil, space exploration, art, and diversity — but for every accomplishment, the progressive destination has experienced its fair share of unbelievable trauma. In 1867, a gruesome Yellow Fever epidemic swept through Texas, killing nearly 500 out of 6,000 Houston residents. The 1900 Galveston Hurricane left an estimated 8,000 Texans dead, making it the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Brutality, hate crimes, and grisly murders marred the later half of the 20th century.Â
Led by expert local guides, you will discover more than a handful of the most haunted locations hiding in plain sight in downtown Houston. Experience the same bar where Texas Revolutionary war hero Sam Houston enjoyed a few beers. Feel the eerie presence of the lurking spirits of Craft Beer Cellar. Be prepared to feel the hairs on your neck raise as the ghosts on this tour are not always shy with their visitors.
Great Depression and Grave Misfortune
Any historian worth their salt knows Texas as a state deeply rooted in battle, victory, pride, but what they don’t see buried under the dust of triumph is the tragedy, death, and heartbreak of its past.

Take a walk down the same sinister roads as former presidents, celebrities, and politicians to uncover a horrifying history brimming with love, rage, and devastation.
Bring to light unheard stories from the Great Depression where overwhelmed workers at Union National Bank committed suicide from declining business.

The crimson-stained history that haunts this city will surely have you sleeping with one eye open.
The Land of the Living and the DeadÂ
Houston remains a remarkable and attractive city for modern-day urbanites and spirits alike.
