Corpus Christi has earned the title as one of the most haunted cities in Texas, according to BetTexas . Austin proceeded the Sparkling City, with El Paso taking the top spot.
Locally, Heritage Park is the spookiest around town. Some of the original residents may still be around, just not in physical form.
“I’m not afraid of the dead, it’s the living you got to be afraid of,” Margaret Prescott, Founder of Corpus Christi Spook Central and paranormal investigator for South Texas Haunts, said.
Whatever makes your skin crawl or the hair stand up on your neck, Prescott said she isn’t phased by any of it. After experiencing her own paranormal encounter at 15-years-old, she began her career to learn more about the world of lurking spirits.
“I started reading up more and studying more,” Prescott said. “I was like, ‘you know what, I really want to do this. I’m curious.’ “
About 20 years ago, Prescott’s son encouraged her to start Corpus Christi Spook Central, a local paranormal investigation team. It then turned into her launching South Texas Haunts, a paranormal research TV show.
