Central Texas Paranormal Society (CTPS)

Welcome to CTPS

The Central Texas Paranormal Society, also known as the CTPS, was founded by a father and daughter team. Pop (a retired marine) and Lee (a registered nurse) had encountered unbelievable paranormal experiences in the past. Seeking answers, they ventured out into a world they never imagined.

Along this journey, their path would lead them to an incredible group of team members, each with their own abilities and captivating personal accounts. From shadow people and full-body apparitions of Civil War soldiers to flame-like images engulfing their vehicles, the team investigations will forever change your impressions of the Supernatural.

Ghosts Hunted and Found in Port Isabel, TX

“Very active, in my 30 years, this place is very active” and this is “the most haunted area in the Valley”, conclusions that two groups visiting various sites in Port Isabel came to after listening to things that go bump in the night.

Oddly, the Port Isabel Cemetery and the Palangana Cemetery were quiet. A mysterious noise found in Pirates Landing turned out to be the ice maker and a serious of tests in Southwind Inn proved that the structure of the building contributed to ghostly sounding voices and other noises.

However, the Ghost Hunters of South Texas and the Central Texas Paranormal Society did record a number anomalies in the Port Isabel Fire Hall, the Champion Building, the Yacht Club, White Sands Restaurant and the Point Isabel Historic Lighthouse.

In a reveal at the Treasures of the Gulf Museum on Monday, the Ghost Hunters of South Texas and the Central Texas Paranormal Society shared a number of EVPs (electronic Voice Phenomena) captured during their research. A male voice clearly says, “How now brown cow?” “Union… uniforms as well.” A male voice with a southern drawl also says, “Don’t fall down and get killed.” All of these findings recorded in the Port Isabel Lighthouse.

Research at White Sands served to try to answer questions about slamming kitchen doors and the presence of a loved one that had passed away as wait staff had reported feeling a tap on their shoulder when no one was around. The team set up at Table 11 and reported a lot of activity in the area. Audio recorded at the historic Yacht Club sounded like a voice said, “Danielle” and another voice, “Jesus.”

Plans are also underway for a series of Ghost Tours during the month of October. The tours will be guided and include a number of the sites researched by the Ghost Hunters of South Texas and Central Texas Paranormal Society. Tickets for the one hour walking tours will go on sale soon at the Museums of Port Isabel, the Chamber of Commerce and the Port Isabel City Hall. For more information, contact Merchants Committee Chair Linda Garrett at 956/943-8080.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to work as a team to help the public at large to understand and deal with claimed paranormal activity occurring in their lives. This activity could be the result of something natural, but it may also be unnatural (spiritual) or for a lack of better word, paranormal, (above the norm). Most people believe in a “Holy Spirit”, yet far less, believe in other spirits. That being stated, CTPS as a team is determined to find the truth.

In all cases we strive to follow scientific methods to determine the cause of the activity. If the cause is natural this will be explained to the property owner. If it is determined to be paranormal, this will also be explained, and copies of all documentation captured during our investigation will be offered to the property owner.

If the cause is determined to be paranormal, we will try to help the property owner understand the activity and deal with it in a way that is suitable to them. This may mean the property be blessed by our in house Clergy, asking for the Lord's help, in removing or asking the spirit or spirits to move on. If this fails, the owners will then be referred to the Catholic church for an exorcism (not all spirits are demonic, and should not be considered as a threat to anyone), or by just simply learning to live with the spirit or spirits.

Our team is composed of people of many faiths and are all God fearing Americans. We believe in the “Holy Spirit”, as well as the possibility of other spirits. Our team is devoutly dedicated to the pursuit of the truth, whether or not there is life after death.
