This episode unpacks the tragic tale of Audra, the love-lorn lady whose spirit is said to linger in Room 501—where heartbreak turned into haunting.
With over a century of history, Hotel Galvez has seen it all: hurricanes, high-stakes gambling, presidential visits, and military occupation. But it’s Audra’s story that grips listeners—a young bride-to-be who took her own life after mistakenly believing her fiancé had perished at sea, only for him to return alive, too late.
From ghostly chills and flickering lights to malfunctioning room keys and unexplained phenomena, the crew shares spine-tingling accounts from guests and staff who’ve encountered Audra’s restless spirit. One housekeeper even reported a mysterious light emanating from a vacant room, believed to be her presence. Notable Moment: “They say especially when it comes to anywhere that Audra is… she scrambles the keys and they don’t work. Isn’t that wild?”
Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode will make you think twice before booking a stay at Texas’ most haunted hotel.
