Dead Billy's Galena Pirate Haunted History Ghost Tour
Galena is Older & Charmingly Creepier Than You Think
Galena, Illinois as a town was incorporated as "Galena" in 1826, but was known as "The Point" and "January's Point" between 1700 and 1826. Yes, you read that right, the year 1700! In fact, it's actually much older! Our town has a rich and often dark history filled with amazing Indigenous life, strange legendary creatures, actual pirates, ladies of the night (you know what I mean) , brothels, gambling and LOTS of GHOSTS. We are known as the most haunted town in Illinois! That's why even with all the amazing and weird history of the town, we are also going to be talking about ghosts all this haunted tour!
Our Haunted Tour is Scary, Weird & Fun!
This haunted tour is often scary, weird, often funny and very historical. Because history really is that way! Dead Billy , Galena's official pirate, is an amazing tour guide with decades of comedy and storytelling experience with a background of years of large audience performance and classical training. While we are a new tour, we are getting amazing reviews already! Our tour is historical, yes, but all the wierd, amazing and often downright scary history you wish they'd teach you in school!
It's Galena's Goonies Adventure for Grownups who want to be Kids for a night...and young adults who can handle talk about lewd behavior!
Warning: While we will talk about amazing history, we're going to talk about seriously scary historically documented material as well as gore, prostitution and other lewd and tawdry subjects. You can even dress up as a pirate if you want!
Our haunted history tour is pretty easy walking experience!
Our haunted tour itself is a mellow walk, is approx. 1.5 hours and includes approx. 1.5 actual staircase climbs up, and 1 staircases down. If you can make a few laps around the mall you should be fine. We do encourage you to wear comfy shoes, bring a light jacket if it feels chilly, bring an umbrella if it looks like a light rain and some money if you want a drink before we leave and or a drink after! We meet at either 303 S. Main's door or just a few feet down on the same side of the street at the Pirate Tour Window outside the Eagles where you can grab a spirit and use the bathroom before we leave on our walking voyage!
