Old Town Spring Ghost Walk offers lantern-lit ghost walks and guided storytelling tours in historic Old Town Spring and Old Town Tomball. Using costumed guides and hand-held lanterns, the operation leads guests through evocative streets and curated stops, including a ghostly guest house and a haunted saloon. The program blends local legends, folklore, and reported hauntings into an atmospheric, narrative-driven walk.
