I am startring to get very anxious, but at the same time I am glad they arent rushing to throw together some crappy presentation. TXRATTLER did assure me that I would be pleased with the results, so therefore I am being patient. BUT I'M SO EXCITED, I CANT WAIT!!

Well I hope you get your news soon :-) I think were all anxious to hear the results right along with you ~

Tell me about it!

AJsMOM83, first of all let me say that we are very very close to finishing your the video that we promissed you, and that you reveal should be in the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately making a video, even a short one is extremely time consuming, but we think, that for you guys the effort was very well worth it. Please give PITT's best to your family, and we will see you soon.

Dear el pato,
I have to say I have spent a LOT of time at the McKinney building and I never heard any stories about it being haunted, creepy - yes, haunted no. The cold room is cold because it's heavily insulated, that's where they would keep cold storage for trains that came and went. The old grain silos were particularly weird. I would love to see the photos of the skeleton heads if anyone has ever seen them. I have heard stories about Loretto Academy, the headless nun in the tower.

Well I have to say that surprises me that you spent a lot of time there and there were no stories about it. The person that told me those stories was a former mechanic by the first name of Alonzo. I'm sorry i won't say his last name. This guy said that there is a picture with those skeleton heads in the office of the owner or something like that. Check again and ask someone there that's been there for a long time and they'll tell you. Let me know what you find out. Please.

by what I read on this I could think I know you...my boyfriend was telling me about some of his friends who also went to el paso high and they also heard a little voice saying hi...so this just proves that it is true =O




el paso high, we've visited the museum of art, anyway, so far only in concordia and that white house i've had that eerie feeling, and in concordia there was a point where everyone who came along suddenly came to a stop cause we all felt like a 5 second cold feeling and goosebumps, i even felt a bit nauseas. later on we went into some very nice and green area, and my friend's brother and i heard a little kid say "hi"

Does some one know if the story of the appearing kids in the railroad tracks is true in El Paso? Something about them kids wanting to save you and touching the bumper of the car to prevent you from dying. I have been looking for the story but their is only one in San Antonio.

Interesting stuff in this thread...

To be honest I've never seen anything unusual. However, during my two years working at the Camino Real I've felt and heard many strange things. And strange things always happened during early morning shifts around 4 or 5 am. During that time frame the hotel would become deadly quiet, you can literally hear a pin drop. A whisper can be heard perfectly from across the room. During the early morning hours, you would get chills at times mainly because of the early morning temps. It's an old hotel so every now and then you would catch a cold draft. The rest of the day is pretty much at it's normalcy. On a side note during my tenure there, two people unfortunately passed away at the hotel. They happened at different times and the rooms were 1602 and 1701, in case inquiring minds want to know.

The place you're referring to is called "Gravity Hill" on Thunderbird. In my opinion it's just an urban legend. There are no railroad tracks in that location and I believe there is a natural explanation for what happens there. The real one is definitely in San Antonio.

it's the illusion that the hill is going one way when if fact that it is going the other way.
