All I saw was wonderfully preserved piece of History. I had a good time. Thank you. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c20690 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 14:58:41 +0000 R. Pleasant [Visitor] c20282@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ Born in Texas. Been to Galveston several times and never visited this castle...now planning a trip just to see the castle. Can't wait. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c20282 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 02:59:24 +0000 Vicki [Visitor] c2668@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ As I walked in the entrance of the basement I immidiately smelled this sent and it wasn't horrible but it smelled wired like an old perfume. I proceeded to walk in and the air was thick and heavy. I walked around and mind you I have never visited before nor did I know any history of the house. I walked towards the back of the basement and a gentalman was standing behind a little both that had T-shirts. I started to chat with him and immidiately I felt hot around my ears, goosebumps,and tingling feeling all through my face. I told him that this place is very haunted and that the activity is very active up on the top floors. He smiled and he said "yes it is". I told him that since I was a child I could hear, feel, and see spirits. He too had the same experiences and understood what I was experiencing. I paid for the tour and before walking up the stairs I felt this pressure like a headache and a little nauseous. I just grounded myself and took a deep breath and proceeded to go up the stairs to the first floor. The air became lighter and the weird smell of old perfume left. The funny thing is.. some of the areas of the house the smell was strong. It was a nice visit..but my two year old and husband didn't join me because my two year old son said that he saw a monster in the basement area and started crying and didn't want to walk any further. Oh and yes...there was a family with a little toddler around a 1year old. The poor toddler would not stop crying. I will return to visit and get to see the 3rd floor because it was closed off. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c2668 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 16:54:46 +0000 Inez M. Garcia [Visitor] c2664@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ I was there with my two grand grandchildren this weekend, we thought it was beautiful and peaceful. When I was a child we went as a family to a wake a Bishop was lying in state, and as we passed to view the body we kissed the Bishop's ring an event I will hold in my heart forever. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c2664 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 02:33:00 +0000 Saintadam [Visitor] c2662@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ I'm one of the few people that have an intimate relationship with it. Your facts are almost right. The place is way bigger than 7k. Also, it is not said that it's haunted. There had only been one death in the house. That of Bishop Byrne. His sister's lived there with him during that. His wake was held there in the grand reception room. And no slaves were there. Slaves were freed by the time the house was constructed. He was to prominent to go around killing local black workers. It would have ruined his lustrous career. But one thing you do have right. The stairs make people ill. We think its cause of the temperature. No A/C. But people see those stairs and freak. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c2662 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 03:28:20 +0000 Ciera Rae [Visitor] c2661@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ I loved visiting this place. I felt the calm easy spirits of the family that first owned the house and seen them sitting in the sun room. It was the best historical place I have ever visited in my life. I wanted to see ALL of it. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c2661 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 00:02:13 +0000 Kassandra [Visitor] c165@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ I always pass in front this castle and I always thought that this was one of my dream castles my mom also said that one day she would like to buy this caste for me.now that I read this I think that it's creepy just to pass in front some place that's haunted and I never knew it.oh well,I still like this place it's pretty but now it's preety and scary at the same time.weird thing is that my mom still wants to buy it.she also said that she would like to do some research. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c165 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 22:41:31 +0000 DJ Stephens [Visitor] c139@http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/ We were this summer with several of my grand children.My daughter and myself had a few places that gave us the chills. Two of the grand kids ages 14 and 20 had several weird feeling. As we were leaving several of the kids started down the steps and I stepped on the landing and was hit with a really cold spot and anxiety.I had this feeling come over me of a black servant being pushed down the stairs. I would love to know if it really had happen. There was another family with a boy about the age of three or four.He cried the whole time he was there and kept wanting to leave. http://ghoststories.brazoriaresearch.com/2010/06/22/the-haunted-castle-of-galveston#c139
