Haunted Galveston Texas Paranormal Locations

GALVESTON

After San Antonio, I must say that Galveston is the place to visit. The main street is lined with stately old homes, a few blocks away is The Strand historic district. One block off of The Strand you can step aboard the Tall Ship Elissa which is a floating museum. If you are looking for more modern fare, you can visit Moody Gardens which is constantly expanding (and currently contains a 3-D IMAX, a ridefilm and a rainforest among other things) or one of the many beaches.


Founded in 1999 by Ghost Tour Of Galveston Creator Dash Beardsley, Ghost Tours of Galveston IS Galveston Island's first, foremost, and original haunted historical walking tour.


VISIT Ghost Tours of Galveston Island
http://www.ghosttoursofgalvestonisland.com/

Ashton Villa
on Broadway (I-45 South becomes Broadway). The ghost of one of the Brown daughters, Bettie, supposedly visits the Gold Room and the second floor landing. I have personally been there, even if I didn't see a ghost, it is a beautiful old home. Boarding House
Ave K and 23rd. Several people have died of natural causes in this house, and now visitors report poltergeist activity. The current owner appears to be proud that the house is one of the Island's most haunted.

Bolivar Lighthouse
A young man killed his parents in the lighthouse. His ghost has been seen through the windows, and he has been known to chase visitors away.

Fire Station #6
On Broadway. Captain Jack returns, even though the building is no longer a fire station. Ghostly smells, noises and occaisional activity.

Menard House
An apparition of a woman has appeared in the entry hall, where Clara Menard died from a broken neck (she fell down the stairs).

Old Skinner House
1300 block of Sealy. Apparitions and strange noises have been experienced. An antique cane bearing the inscription, "J.D. Skinner, Nov. 6, 1895," mysteriously showed up in the attic.

Samuel May Williams Home
3601 Bernardo de Galvez, Galveston. Williams still walks the third floor balcony, 140 years after his death.

Stacia-Leigh
A former owner claims to have met the ghost of Benito Mussolini's mistress on board.

Stewart Beach
An unidentified spectre of a man has been seen running across the beach after dark. A victim of the storm? Perhaps.

The Oaks
The spirit of a girl who died after falling down the stairs has been reported in this house.

Trinity Bay
Jean Lafitte, the notorious pirate, has been accused of attacking treasure hunters - they've seen an apparition, resembling Lafitte, choking them in the middle of the night.

UTMB Galveston - Ewing Hall ~ article

A demonic face appeared on the side of one of these buildings long ago, and has survived every attempt to remove it (even sandblasting). The building is off limits to the public, but we're told the face is clearly visible from the harbor.
Before the 1920's, that "land" was in the water - the face has nothing to do with the Storm. It was filled- in in the late 20's. The building always belonged to the State of Texas (through UTMB), and as such, it should never have had an advertisement on it - that would be highly questionable at best. People have died trying to see this - it's not worth your life - don't risk it! It is State property and access is restricted - you can be arrested. Lone Star Spirits went with permission from UTMB, and when UTMB changed their minds, we left, no questions asked. There are plenty of other, highly accessible haunted places in the area.

Virginia Point Inn
Ghostly footsteps and poltergeist activity have been attributed to the original owner of the building, Sarah Hawley.

Walmart
There are rumors that a cemetery may be beneath the foundation. Full trash bags have been found dangling from the rafters, neatly "zoned" aisles will be trashed within moments, and an 18-wheeler was mysteriously unloaded and stocked when no one was on duty. How many retailers would like the stocker, but would prefer to leave the "messy customer" where it is? Another possible cause for the haunted may be that the site is supposed to be where an orphanage run by nuns was destroyed during the storm. The nuns had tied themselves and the children together to keep from being separated, but they ended up drowning together.

Witwer-Mott House
1121 Tremont. "Captain" Mott has "said" in Ouija sessions that he will continue to haunt the house until the bodies of murdered girls buried on the property are found.

NOTE: Lone Star Spirits Paranormal Investigations does not support nor condone the unlawful entry into any building for investigative purposes. There are quite a number of reasons for this. Safety and personal injury, destruction of private property, vandalism, possible other criminal activity and it's against the law. Although you might have not done all of these or any of these you have to understand that when the public sees this happening it gives a bad name to all ghost hunters and paranormal investigators and then you have guilt by association, therefore it makes it harder on us to obtain the proper authority to legally go in and investigate. Please bear this in mind when e-mailing us with a tale that includes illegal entry, or any other illegal activity.
