THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Galveston's historic Bishop's Palace has accumulated numerous ghost stories during its long history. Visitors and staff have reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and other mysterious activity within the ornate mansion, often attributed to former residents of the property.
The Bishop’s Palace was finished in 1893, and was survived the Great Hurricane of 1900. Rumour has it the protective former owner, Walter Gresham, still haunts the place, and has been known to appear during freak weather events. Witnesses say his spirit appears agitated, pacing back and forth across the front porch.
