It would be cool if there was actual information about this person to show that she was real and not an old story passed down for funsies. I'm also very curious why there are conflicting stories about where she hung herself. The folks staying in 501 currently are saying they were told she hung herself in the bathroom. Everything I've read says the west turret. (Which would have been on the outside, right?) I also appreciate your observation on the grounds prior to building because that was about to be my next rabbit hole. I love stuff like this, but not when it all seems made up with no facts to support the story. Boooo. <br />502 was a nice room, but nothing happened during our stay on the 5th floor.

Twice during the night, my bed shook and when I awoke, I smelled Gardenias. The following morning, I asked my friend if she had sprayed cologne or room spray during the night, she said she hadn't moved from the bed. We stayed in room 528, now, as if the moving bed and floral scent weren't weird enough, things started happening when we returned home. On our way to the island, we had visited my friends son who had sent a bottled of home made wine with us, we took the wine to the room, but, never opened it. On our return home, my friend gave me the wine. When I finished unpacking, I sat the bottle of wine on top of the refrigerator where all my wine sits, the next week I was in the living room watching TV when I heard a thud sound in the kitchen, when I walked into the kitchen, there was a bottle of wine sitting in the kitchen floor, I just wrote it off as being caused by the opening and closing of the refrigerator causing the bottle to slowly inch it's way off the unit an the fact that it didn't break as just a bit of luck on my part. NOT. The next week, one of my roommates and I were watching TV when we heard a crash in the kitchen, upon investigation, we found a bottle of wine shattered on the floor, this bottle had been inside a cubby in a cast iron wine rack, we still wrote it off as caused by movement of the refrigerator over time. The next week we wrapped and packed all of the remaining wine including the homemade bottle preparing to move. We moved into a new apartment the day after Thanksgiving. I unpacked all of the wine on December 7th and placed each bottle in a cubby in the wine rack, including the home made bottle of wine. On December 13th, one of my roommates was watching TV when she heard a thud behind her, she went into the dining room and found the bottle of home made wine lying over by the dining table pointing in the opposite direction of it's position in the wine rack and about two feet away from the cabinet where the rack sits. Now, there was another bottle sticking out below that one as well as two huge pictures leaning against the cabinet, yet, the bottle of wine cleared all of that without touching it and managed to turn around and land facing the opposite direction. This is when I told my roommate to get that bottle of home made wine out of the apartment and off the property, she wrapped it up, blessed it, and took it to a dumpster behind a store. Today is January 21, 2015, it has been 38 days and none of the wine has moved from the rack since then (except for the ones we remove to drink). Is the Galvez haunted, of course, you must be your own judge, I know what I felt and smelled while there and, I know for a fact the bottle of wine that stayed with us in room 528 on 11/1/2014 had a spirit attached to it, what I don't know is if the spirit attached while in the hotel or if it attached while still in the possession of the maker, I can without doubt say, the trip awakened spirits for some reason AND I cannot wait to go back to see what else happens on the island.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990641386919900463.post-27982260216609743632014-10-23T13:00:37.060-07:002014-10-23T13:00:37.060-07:00I stayed there three weeks ago....correctedI stayed there three weeks ago....correctedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507968086723424767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990641386919900463.post-39245606132052999882014-10-23T12:57:13.738-07:002014-10-23T12:57:13.738-07:00I stayed there three weeks something bit me on my ...I stayed there three weeks something bit me on my upper thigh and it's a lot of deep holes about 10 they won't heal no matter what I do.

I awoke in the early morning, asking myself what time was it, and if I needed to get up for this morning’s meetings. The room was pitch dark except for a slight stream of light coming through the curtains from the morning sun. I saw that it was only 6 AM, so I told myself to go back to sleep for a little bit more time. As I was fading off to sleep I heard several clicks like someone approaching and walking down the left side of the king-sized bed (on the side closest to the city-view window). Along with those clicks, I had the feeling that there was an immense amount of energy in the room – and the presence of someone - or something. My first thought was that it sounded like flip-flops. My arm was stretched-out toward that side of the bed, laying across the row of pillows. I froze! Then, I felt this energy bounce onto the bed crawling toward me, with every depression of the mattress. The pillows gave way to this presence waffling around my arm. All I could think of was to scream - but I couldn’t. Next, my arm started shaking – as f electricity was going through it. The left side of my face felt pressure as if someone was leaning on it. It felt like eternity – but it lasted no more than 5 seconds. Then, it stopped! What the hell was that!!! No one was in the room. I turned on all the lights and TV. Whatever it was – it had left. I found out from the manager later this morning that it was the woman who haunts the fifth floor of the Galvez Hotel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166949931410230422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990641386919900463.post-71107358025973439082014-05-15T04:27:05.132-07:002014-05-15T04:27:05.132-07:00Not according to the hotel staff, the printed info...Not according to the hotel staff, the printed information they give you when you go there, the books they have in the room about it, the show Ghost Lab, or various other sources :) Maybe they are both haunted though.
