What if the past refuses to stay buried? What if spirits from a century-old tragedy still haunt the aisles of your local Walmart? Could you handle the truth behind the creepy laughter and cries ringing during the night? Galveston Haunted Walmart is a gripping account of author Denise Sandoval's experiences while working at a Walmart, which was built over the tragic grounds of St. Mary's Orphan's Asylum in Galveston, Texas. In this book, she uncovers the eerie and unsettling events that continue to plague this modern-day store, more than a century after the deadly storm of 1900.

In 1900, the city of Galveston was flourishing. With saloons, mansions, and even an opera house, the Texan island was known as “The Queen City of the Gulf”…until heavy rains flooded the streets, putting the entire town under waster and killing a third of the inhabitants.

The Galveston Orphans Home of Texas has been a fixture of the historic city for over a hundred years. Surviving the great storm of 1900 and giving children a place to call home, there are countless stories about the house’s rich history.
