Summary

Galveston, Texas, is often considered one of the most haunted places in America due to its history of tragedy and devastation. The Great Storm of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, claimed up to 12,000 lives, leaving a lasting imprint on the island. Many believe the spirits of the hurricane’s victims still linger.

Many of Galveston’s historic structures have withstood wars, natural disasters, and countless tragic events, contributing to their haunted reputations. The island's role in the Civil War, including the Battle of Galveston, adds another layer to its haunted history.

The city has also experienced epidemics that caused numerous deaths, also contributing to Galveston's haunted status. These historical events and tragedies have created a collection of ghost stories and paranormal experiences that intrigue residents and visitors alike.

Today, on The Grave Talks, we will discuss The Ghosts of Galveston with Eddy Specter and January Wilson of Eddy Specter’s Ghost Tours of Galveston Island. This is Part Two of our conversation.

0:31.9	that the spirits do not like that.
0:35.6	They want the real story told.
0:38.0	I'll agree with that.
0:39.2	We've had some issues.
0:41.5	Oh gosh, yeah. So there's a bar here called the mob bar.
0:45.0	Not anymore, shed a tear.
0:47.0	If anyone wants to rent this building, by the way, please do.
0:51.0	These people couldn't keep managers. I think after the fifth manager the guy just
0:56.3	threw his hands and went, nope. But we were in there one night and it was actually it was the longest

1:06.9	And this particular bar specialized in underage people, unfortunately.
1:11.8	And so one of the managers at the time and myself and a couple
1:16.1	of other tour guides. It was after work, we're sitting there at the bar and sort of talking
1:20.7	about what we do and the bartender himself the manager was
1:24.8	having a complaint about another tour guide who would often tell false stories you know not
