Our tours are a real life ghost story for you to experience first-hand! You meet your entertaining, fun, and informative tour guide in a haunted town where they share spooky tales of history and folklore at each stop. We show you real haunted locations, real stories, and real paranormal legends.

Eerie and spooky, our Texas ghost tours send a chill down your spine. We are not a haunted house, but everything you experience will be real and paranormal. Are you ready to step into the haunted Old West?

Believe it or not, we cannot make ghosts appear on cue. But, every single week, we catch strange visions on camera, see weird shapes in the dark, and experience that tingle on the back of our neck that someone or someTHING might be watching us…

Our tours are designed to show you the haunted history of town, and help you explore the paranormal world around you. Some strange things have happened to us out there on tour over the years. Keep your mind open to the possibilities and your senses on alert, and get ready for an experience!

Family Friendly: ALL AGES – Our family-friendly Houston ghost tours are edited especially for the squeamish, and are suitable for young audiences. Think of the family tour as more of a campfire ghost story, and mainly a history tour. This tour is also only one hour long, and a shorter route through town.

R Rated: AGES 13 AND UP ONLY – The R-rated tours are an hour and 30 minutes, and take you to more locations. We do not hold back on the gruesome, dastardly, shocking tales, and give you the full version of the story.

General Admission: ALL AGES – Any age is welcome to join this tour, from ages 5 to 100!

In some locations it is also okay to bring alcoholic beverages, but please ask us before bringing them, as some locations do not allow it.

Our family-friendly and/or general admission tour is a one-hour walking tour, while our R-rated tours are an hour and 30 minutes long. We walk to each haunted spot, and some areas will have seating available while you are listening to the story.

Our family friendly and/or general admission tour is for all ages, though we do not recommend children under 5 attend due to the nature of the tour. We find that children between the ages of 6 and 12 love ghost tours!

Our R rated tour is for ages 13 and up only. If you bring young children to this tour you will be asked to reschedule for the family friendly or general admission tour. This tour has mature content that is pg-13 or R rated, so parents are strongly cautioned if their child is under the age of 17.

We get this question a lot. In our line of work, hauntings are a regular occurrence in everyday places. We believe that there are ghosts almost everywhere, they are simply waiting for the right person to make contact and acknowledge their presence. Our team of investigators and history buffs have researched hundreds of hours of documents and word-of-mouth experiences that lead us to believe that yes, something paranormal is going on here. Whether you want to believe they are ghosts, or simply the mind playing tricks – we leave that up to you to decide. At Houston Ghost Tour, our main goal is to promote local history, legend, and folklore in a way that is entertaining, educational, and fun. It’s what we’re all about!

Dress for the weather – we go on, rain or shine!

All of our ghost tours are outdoors, so please wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, and wear clothes according to the current weather forecast. We tour rain or shine on most occasions, so bring an umbrella if it calls for rain!

Weather cancellations – We will only cancel the tour if the weather is deemed unsatisfactory for the tour to be held. For example, if the rain is heavy and there is lightning, if the rain is so heavy we cannot navigate or see/hear the guide clearly, or if there is known flooding along the tour route. If you book a rainy day tour and it gets cancelled, you may reschedule to any acceptable date you wish.

We will still hold the tour if it is a light sprinkle.

If you have a smart phone, simply show your guide your confirmation receipt or tickets, or just tell us the name of your party. If you do not have a smart phone you will want to print out your tickets to show your guide. No tickets or smart phone? As long as you made a reservation or booked online, we will be able to pull up your information. Although you can buy tickets at the location, our tours are limited to 25 people per tour, so it’s best to make sure you have booked with us before you go, just in case we sell out.

You will be walking on all of our tours, so please wear appropriate clothing. we ask you: please, no high heel shoes, no flip flops, and no open sandals. We recommend tennis shoes, sneakers, or boots. We walk through dirty terrain in some locations, so it is best to have the proper footwear.

Our most popular ghost tour is in Old Town Spring because of its paranormal activity, haunted spots, and stories. We get the best pictures and have the most experiences on our Spring tour.

If you book a party with more than 25 people we will make arrangements with you that suit your party’s needs. We can accommodate up to 250 people in one night, so do not worry, no party size is too big!

In Spring, Humble, and Tomball, there will be some shops open for you to explore before or after the tour. In Spring there are 2 you will go inside during the tour. In Houston it is a walk through a park. Most shops close in all locations by 6pm. Our tours are all about the stories, and due to liability issues with taking large groups inside very small buildings, we do not go inside every spot.
