Uvalde – The Uvalde Grand Opera House is 126 years old, and throughout its history, a rumor that the building is haunted have persisted.

Along with the San Antonio Paranormal Investigators, KSAT.com set out to find out if those rumors were true. 

"There was a lady standing in the window."

"A Haunting in South Texas" heard many stories from those who live in Uvalde and from those who work inside the opera house. 

Uvalde Police Lt. Jerry Martinez recalled an incident a couple years ago while he was on patrol.
