Hotel Galvez is located in Galveston, Texas.
Hotel Galvez is a massive hotel right on the beach that has played host to likes of Howard Hughes, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, General Douglas MacArthur, and several United States Presidents including Franklin D Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson. Built in 1911 the magnificent Hotel Galvez was built on the site where the Beach Hotel, Electric Pavilion, and Pagoda Bathhouse once stood and it quickly became known as the “Playground of the Southwest” for socialites, businessmen, and celebrities. Galveston Island’s only truly historic hotel, the Galvez, is reminiscent of a gilded age gone by. It’s no surprise that a hotel with so much history should have it’s own mystery and haunted history.
The Galvez boast several ghost and they can be found in many different areas of the hotel. Haunting guest, spooking staff, and often appearing when you least expect it the ghost of the Hotel Galvez are very active. Below are two videos about the haunting of the Galvez one by Ghost Stories another is an investigation done by Ghost Lab on Discovery Channel.
Room #501 is supposedly one of the most haunted rooms in the hotel. The staff know the lovelorn lady is around when they feel a sudden cold breeze, hear doors slamming, and when televisions or lights are turned on or off without explanation. Front desk attendants have stated that they experience problems when attempting to make electronic keys for room #501 as if something or someone is interfering with the electronic equipment to make the keys. A housekeeper once reported a strange light coming out from under the door of room #501, when she called the front desk and was told the room was vacant, she opened the door and found no one there and no explanation for the very bright golden light. Odd lights have also been reported in the turrets of the Hotel Galvez. A guest mentioned an odd light up in the turret, while renovations were underway, and the turrets were not lit! Staff and electricians investigated, but found no source of power to the turret, nor had anyone gained access with candles or flashlights.
