Is Tremont House haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Tremont is the three — the '1839' that's the first, the '1985' that's the third. The 'Sam Houston' is the balcony — the 'April 1861' that's the last speech, the 'fire and rivers of blood' that's the warned. The 'Sherman' is the burned — the 'June '65' that's the Confederate quarters, the 'five years' that's the ruins.

The 'Clayton' is the '72 — the 'second' that's the grander, the 'Belle of the South' that's the called. The '1900' is the storm — the 'Clara Barton' that's the stayed, the '1928' that's the demolished. The 'Blum' is the bones — the '1879 dry goods' that's the third body, the 'ghosts' that's the inherited.

The file keeps Tremont House: the three hotels, the Houston warning, the 1900 storm, and the Civil War soldier's march.

Tremont House is the archive's Galveston file — the thrice-built hotel.
