The ghost along the Brazos got me thinking about the urban legend in Galveston. Anyone ever see the face at UTMB? It isn't very scarry, but it is undeniable.

Ewing Hall, named for Maurice Ewing a notable alum, at UTMB has the reputation of being one of the haunted places on Galveston Island. A face appears on one of the concrete walls of Ewing hall and cannot be removed despite many attempts. Sandblasting and power-washing have been unable to remove the face from the side of Ewing Hall. The face is rumored to be that of the original owner of the land that UTMB sits on. He supposedly told his family not to sell the land after he died and to keep it in the family. Upon his death, his family quickly sold the land that UTMB now sits on. He is said to now haunt the building and campus. According to legend, the face first appeared on the top panel of the building. The top panel of the building was then sand blasted and painted over (see pictures in article below). The face then appeared on the panel directly beneath it. This panel was subsequently sand blasted causing the face to move to the panel that it resides on today. UTMB eventually gave up trying to remove the face and it has become a permanent addition to Ewing Hall.
