The ghost tours will explore several campus locations previously investigated by Paranormal Research Investigations El Paso. PRI was the first paranormal group invited by Campus Life to look into the alleged school hauntings.

Ramiro Galvan, head investigator for Paranormal Research Investigations, said he and his crew spoke to school staff, campus police, and students to find out first-hand where the majority of the sightings and activity was taking place, as well as the legend, lore, and history of the buildings believed to be haunted.

During its 2020 investigation, the group documented stories of disembodied voices, mysterious footsteps in empty hallways, and multiple eyewitness accounts of a full-bodied apparition of a woman in what is known as “the Queen Anne” building which currently houses campus police.
