The deadliest natural disaster in American history is the Great Storm of 1900. On the night of September 8, a category 4 hurricane demolished Galveston. Giant waves crashed on the beach, leaving the city 15 feet underwater at one time. Wind gusts between 120 and 135 miles an hour destroyed over 3,600 buildings. The death toll on Galveston Island was estimated to be between 6,000 and 8,000 people.
In addition to the Great Storm, Galveston also suffered several yellow fever epidemics, a major Civil War battle and numerous fires. Given the tragedies, it should not be surprising that so many lost souls still roam the streets at night. Shadows appear out of nowhere. Objects move by themselves. Are you sure you want to go down that alleyway by yourself?
