The Story Behind This Haunted Hotel In Texas Is Truly Creepy
Halloween is right around the corner, so it’s definitely time to begin the spooky festivities. While haunted houses with actors who jump out at you are great, sometimes you need a REAL scare. In Texas, there are many places that are said to be haunted, places where bumps in the night are truly something to be afraid of. The Hotel Galvez in Galveston is one of them, and I’m about to tell you why.
The hotel might look ominous on the outside, but that's nothing compared to the tragic, grisly story behind it.
The very day he was scheduled to arrive so they could begin their honeymoon, she received the fateful news that had been lurking in the back of her mind for the duration of his voyage.
She hasn't left the hotel, though. Nicknamed "The Lovelorn Lady" by guests, she's doomed to roam these halls for eternity. If you smell the faint scent of floral perfume with no apparent source, you'll know she's near.
You can even stay in the room the woman died in: Room 505. Turn off the lights, and you might hear the ceiling creak...almost as if a noose were straining under the weight of a person.
