After uncovering the jail’s dark history in Part 1, we return after dark to investigate the hauntings that have made the Old Doña Ana County Courthouse and Jail one of the most haunted jails in the Southwest. With shadow figures, disembodied voices, and hidden tragedies still echoing through its halls, it’s obvious the entities still “living” inside the jail want to make themselves known, whether you want them to or not. Plus, stick around to hear some shocking and unexplainable audio we captured inside the jail during the production of these episodes.

Thanks for tuning in to Weird Tales From El Paso. This project has been a labor of love for me, and I hope you all enjoyed it. I can’t thank the guests of the podcast enough for sharing their time, expertise, and stories, and for really taking this podcast to the next level. I also want to thank all my friends and family who supported me along the way. This wasn’t an easy project to put together, and I couldn't have done it without each of you.

So now, just a few things about what comes next.

While I dropped this first batch of episodes simultaneously, moving forward, I'll be producing and releasing individual episodes one at a time. All the research, scripting, and logistics involved in putting them together during my free time as a one-man team isn’t easy, so doing it this way will help me keep my sanity and make sure that each episode gets the right amount of time and effort it needs. Obviously, that also means this won’t be a weekly podcast or one that sticks to a strict release schedule. Still, my plan is to release them somewhat consistently.

I’m already into production on a good one we recorded in a haunted jail in New Mexico, and things got spooky, so you’re not gonna want to miss that one! Other topics I’d like to explore are legends of UFOs in the area, the Horizon City Monster, the Smeltertown Cemetery, haunted firehouses in town, legends of the Franklin Mountains, and more. There’s so much to look into and talk about!

Also, if you have your own spooky stories to share or ideas for future episodes, please reach out! Your stories and voices are what make this podcast special, so please reach out with any experiences you’d like to share at bluelabpro.com/wtfelpaso. And if you enjoy the show, please don't forget to leave a review.

Stay tuned, stay weird, and thank you again!
