Paranormal Search In Corpus Christi Ritz Theater

The Ritz Theater downtown has been abandoned for almost twenty years, but volunteers have been working hard to restore its former glory. However, they are also noticing a lot of unexplained noises and shadows lurking in the corners and they claim to hear strange voices echoing through the building.

Paranormal investigators looked into the history and the hauntings of the Ritz. Veronique Ramirez told KRIS 6 News, "We did a run-through up in the projection room just asking questions and we played back the evidence we had captured a little girl's voice."

So, the team of investigators gathered up their equipment, including tools to measure electromagnetic frequency (EMF). Hector Rios explained, "A spirit needs energy to manifest themselves and this thing will pick up different types of energy readings."

They also brought in special thermometers. Rios added, "They need energy to manifest themselves and one thing they'll do is draw heat and they leave cold spots in the area."

The investigators also utilized a parabolic microphone to pick up noises of any kind of spiritual activity. They asked the group to be still, and Patrick Zapata claimed, "I looked down this hallway and saw a shadow walking toward us."

As it turns out, in the 1800s, a family's home rested on the grounds where the Ritz is now. Investigators believed they made contact with one of the children.

The temperature dropped four degrees, and the EMF reader made noise, prompting one investigator to ask, "There's a flashlight on the floor, can you move it for us please?"

Investigators told 6 News they asked the spirits at the Ritz if they are pleased that the theater is being renovated. So far, there have not been any negative responses.
