About this listen
In 1900, the city of Galveston was flourishing. With saloons, mansions, and even an opera house, the Texan island was known as “The Queen City of the Gulf”…until heavy rains flooded the streets, putting the entire town under waster and killing a third of the inhabitants.
When the tragedy was over, the island was eventually rebuilt…but many of the dead were not ready to leave the place they called ‘home’. Locals, as well as visitors, still speak about the unearthly situations they’ve personally experienced, especially at the Walmart that replaced the St.Mary’s Orphan Asylum.
Galveston Ghost Tales is a compendium of the eeriest stories from the this haunted city. A photo of a little girl who wasn’t there. The spirit of a nun that roams the aisles. The sound of a child crying. With firsthand accounts from those who have seen these things and more themselves, this book will fill your mind with shadowy figures.
Whether you already believe in ghost or are still a skeptic, “Galveston Ghost Tales” will haunt your dreams all night long.
Grab a flashlight, snuggle under the sheets, and listen! But take care, chances are…you won’t be sleeping tonight.

Story
The hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas, on September 8, 1900, killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people. Prior to advanced communications, few people knew about impending hurricanes except those closest to the site. In the days before television or even radio, catastrophic descriptions were merely recorded on paper, limiting our understanding of the immediate impact. Thus it was inevitable that the category 4 hurricane would cause almost inconceivable destruction.

Gage Chandler is descended from kings. That’s what his mother always told him. Years later, he is a true crime writer, with one grisly success—and a movie adaptation—to his name, along with a series of subsequent less notable efforts. But now he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house where a pair of briefly notorious murders occurred, apparently the work of disaffected teens during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.

Now, unburdened by (literal and emotional) baggage, Magnusson is able to focus on what makes each day worth living. In her new book she reveals her discoveries about aging—some difficult to accept, many rather wondrous.
