The small community of Heritage Park looks idyllic with its Victorian-era architecture and neatly manicured lawns.

Venture with Corpus Christi Ghosts to learn which one of these picture-perfect homes served as a Civil War hospital, where inexperienced doctors did their best to save soldiers with gruesome wounds, only to kill them in a horrific fashion. Their body count was only rivaled by victims of Yellow Fever, which turned the hospital into more of a morgue.
The icy apparitions of grisly deaths are said to inhabit the homes, locking doors behind the living and terrifying them right out of the home. The energy is so dark tour guides have refused to go into the home alone. Discover why the spirits are so angry and why they may never stop tormenting the living.
Corpus Christi has a rich military history. New recruits continue to arrive today, but some of the city’s oldest soldiers have been around for a long time.
