Bring your cameras and tape recorders! Join the Corpus Christ Ritz Ghost Hunters and participate in an actual investigation of The Ritz Theatre.

During our Halloween event, we experienced a ton of NEW paranormal activity! Shadows of people walking up stairs, voices, cold spots, unexplained noises and other interesting activity. Join us to see if we can find out what all this new activity means. Who is the woman that has been seen walking in the downstairs seating area? Could this be the restless spirit of the woman that was rumored to be murdered by her jealous boyfriend? Could the unexpained activity be the spirits of performers past? Please join us as we try to answer these questions.

This is an event that we can all be proud of. 100% of the proceeds benefit the renovation of the Ritz Theatre. Don't forget your flashlights!

**Wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Bring flashlights and cameras, but please not video recorders. Must be at least 18 years old to participate or accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please, no children under the age of 13. > Click here to download the waiver form for The Ritz events.

On Saturday, April 4th, 2009, members of the Junior League of Corpus Christi, Inc.
