University of Texas Medical Branch
It is said that the property on which the University of Texas Medical Branch was once owned by a fisherman. The university wanted the property, but the man would not budge. Finally after he died, the school acquired the property. It is said that on the back of the wall facing Galveston Bay, one can see the face of the man. The walls have been sand-blown and painted. The building has been torn down and rebuilt. Street lights have been moved. Still, the face continues to appear.

Tex – you are a moron. I have seen that face. EVERYONE who lives in galveston for more than 6 months has seen that face. When you can post a picture WITHOUT the face, then you can talk.

I have lived in the Houston area for 15 years and just had a friend move down here. He had heard of the face, but I never had. I went there last night to go see visit the face. When we got there, there was a police man there so we left and came back in a few hours and he was gone. We made it a short trip, we were spooked, but it was so evident. I was skeptical of the face prior to my visit, but I have seen it now. It is crazy. I reccomend going to see it!

Myself and four friends saw the face in 1985.We knew nothing of it.We was just driving by at night and looked up at the wall and saw it.We actually stopped and got out to make sure it wasnt a illusion.It was there then absolutly positive, cant say for now though.

I’ve seen it, before the building was torn down and again after the construction of the new building.

Well we just went down for Mardi Gras 3-5-11 my wife and Drove down to the building and I needed a new wall paper for my phone. Plain as day, you see the face. The first time I saw it was In 1989, in a completely different location. But yes it is crazy. You can see where they had sand blasted the outer walls…Have A ghoul one!!!

This is true. My husband took me there when they were rebuilding that part of the hosiptal. I thought He was full of BS. He took me out there, we jumped the fence and there he was. His face was outlined in green and he moved from wall to wall. He would grin and smile at you. Then he tossed a rock at him and he then got angry at us. I thought it might be a good time to go.

Anyone who lives in the Galveston County area knows about The Face, and most of us have seen it first-hand. What I want to see are those pictures people say they have of it in different locations. I’ve only ever seen it above the door. Whatever the real story of the image is, I think it’s cool and it’s a great way to freak someone out.
