Description

One of the vital oldest cities in Texas, Galveston has witnessed more than its share of tragedies. Devastating hurricanes, yellow fever epidemics, fires, an immense Civil War battle and more cast a dismal shroud at the city’s legacy. Ghostly tales creep all over the history of famous tourist attractions and historical homes. The altruistic spirit of a schoolteacher who heroically pulled sufferers from the floodwaters throughout the good hurricane of 1900 roams the Strand. The ghosts of Civil War soldiers march up and down the steps at night and pace in front of the antebellum Rogers Building. The spirit of an unlucky man decapitated by an oncoming train haunts the railroad museum, moving objects and crying within the night. Kathleen Shanahan Maca explores these and other haunted tales from the Oleander City.
