Ep. 49 Galveston TX & Fort Sam Houston

Hey everyone! Today's episode will be a long one I hope you are all ready! We are going to Texas where we will be covering a haunted old medical building located in a military Fort in Houston and then we will head to the haunted Island of Galveston TX. Where a Category 4 Hurricane killed the most people in US history! Possibly 12,000 souls were lost in the monster of a storm. Not to mention this island was a hub for pirates and shady dealings for years. Let's take a long audio-haunted tour together!
