Ep 145 – The Queen of the Gulf

January 16, 2024 • Haunted Hospitality • Season 3 • Episode 145

The Grand Galvez (also known as the Queen of the Gulf) has stood by the Galveston, Texas shore for over one hundred years, hosting weddings, swimsuit contests, and tourists visiting the Gulf of Mexico. During that time, ghost stories have collected around the building, with some calling it the most haunted hotel in the state.

In this episode, we dive into the ghost stories surrounding the Queen of the Gulf — from Audra, the "Love-lorn Lady" who believed her fiancé died at sea, to Sister Katherine, the protective nun who watches for the coming storm. We also discuss more recent paranormal experiences at the hotel, including slamming doors, a malfunctioning elevator, the smell of gardenias, and a ghost girl who" slept in a guest's bed for a night.

But first, Zoey is here with her Something Spooky: twin flames!
