The Ghostly Tales of Galveston

Welcome to the spooky streets of Galveston! Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms. Did you know that the worst natural disaster in American history happened here, leaving behind thousands of ghosts? Or that the spirit of the famous pirate Jean Lafitte still roams the Galveston coast? Can you believe that a tourist attraction that claims to be haunted (just for fun), is really haunted? Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see Galveston, and have you sleeping with the light on!
