Jean Lafitte had two dogs that guard dogs at  his home and they're supposedly still there and if you hear dogs or see their eyes in the night you are going to die.

Voodoo lounge used to be a brothel, trash cans flipped over, glasses flew off the racks. All 12 of us who worked there experienced it. We heard it was a kid but we aren’t sure who died and who was doing it. I heard the railroad museum was haunted as well.

The Texas heroes monument points to where the battle of San Jacinto and Ahuac,  the men of Fort Crocket would come to Galveston and when they brought their sons, if their sons wanted to have some companionship for the evening they would tell their sons to look at where the monument is pointing and it points to the redlight district
