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
