Name	Description
Foxglove Apartments	Occasionally late at night one can hear what sounds like a cat jumping around on the furniture. Also large fleeting shadows out of the corner of your eye and nothing there when you turn to look. There was also the sound of books slamming to the ground in the bedroom while the occupants where in the bedroom.
J.C. Machuca Apartments	It is said that these apartments where built on an Indian burial ground. Late at night you can actually here foot steps and see dark shadowy figures in the apartments. There are also reports of things flying across the rooms and things that are moved from their original place, and put somewhere else.
Rio Grand River	This lady back in the days when the river ran a mile wide. She got sick of her kids and drowned them. She shortly died after word. Only to be sentenced to her own type of hell. She is now in search of her kids, which was promised she would never find. To this day you can see her faint glow across the river with her high-pitched screechy scream that will leave your ears ringing for weeks.
