Case Overview
What happened at 1859 Ashton Villa?
Built in 1859, this grand Victorian mansion survived the devastating 1900 Galveston hurricane but is said to be haunted by former residents. The most prominent spirit is Miss Bettie Brown, the eccentric daughter of the builder. Often seen in her favorite gold dress, she is known to manifest in ornate mirrors and rearrange furniture to her liking. On quiet afternoons, passersby claim to see her silhouette staring from the second-floor windows, eternally presiding over the estate she refused to leave.
