The Ghosts Of Schatzel Street:


Please Note:
This film is unique.



This channels copy of the smith recording was received by Skype , the copy i was receiving was a copy direct from the original VHS copy, the file size was 1.5Gig, it had been transferred from VHS to MPEG4 and then transferred to my pc where i re-encoded it for Youtube using windows movie maker, using the 'large file size' conversion

Also Note:
Tejanorey aka Rey Gonzales was the first person to bring this recording to the attention of the internet back in 2003.

I also believe this next link is the first person to upload a segment from the smith recording to Youtube:

The smith building recording was conceived in the summer of 2003 (NOTE:over two years before youtube was born) by a latino contractor named 'Mike' , he used a handheld CVHS recorder with a Max recording time of 40 minutes at the location of 423-425 schatzel street, corpus christi,Texas, namely, the 'Smith building'. The latino contractor set out to renovate a building but stumbled upon something paranormal. is it real or did this latino worker get creative in his lunch break?,...you decide.

There is no understanding why anybody involved with this recording has not come forward to tell the story?

This is a link to the forum where most of the smith building ghost chat started and where the first copy of the smith recording was uploaded by Tejanorey:

I must add, Nobody knows exactly WHY these guys were recording, the most likely story is that these guys did not want to work in this building anymore but, they were under a signed contract so they could not just leave otherwise they would be sued, so, gathering from what Tomas yells out in the film, Quote:,"that's our proof', we can conclude that these guys were filming because of what had been spooking them, becuase they needed proof to break the contract. Whether the owner gave these guys this ultimatum we will never know,...yet! :)

Note: When this recording was first uploaded (2003) it was very dark and distorted and the result was many people dismissed it. The uploaded recording on my channel is not from the internet, this copy is from a copy direct from the original VHS copy of which i received by Skype. This person wants to remain anonymous.This is the FIRST time this HQ copy has been uploaded to the internet.

Some people believe that the then named Smith building is very haunted, so haunted that the history behind the building reveals only a few names of people that dwelled and died around the area of the smith building, one was a little boy killed by a hack outside the smith building in the early 1900's, another was the mysterious disappearance of Ms Allen(who managed the boarding house which was located as the 2nd floor of the Smith building) and the most noted was ,

(Ref:)Hamlin Drowning, October 03, 1891, resident of Mrs Allens boarding house Aka , The Smith Building.
Funeral Notice:
Died in this city, October 3rd, 1891, Mr. Horace Hamlin, a native of Three Rivers Canada, where he was born March 4th, 1845.
Mary Helen Hamlin, born in this city May 11th, 1878.
Rowena Laura Hamlin, born in this city January 10th, 1880.

This is a Link to EVP's from the smith building from the ONLY investigation that took place around the time Mike recorded what he did in 2003/04:

Also note that 'Mike' references others during the course of the recording, also these people have never been heard from?.
Mike also used several vhs type c tapes(these have not been uploaded to the internet), the building also had CCTV that were active and may have picked up something(only the owner would know this if he checked them).
Mike also had a tv interview, but it is not archived nor mentioned anywhere on the internet?
Mike conducted his own search for information on the Smith building and this is how he found out about the Hamlin drownings and concluded the smith building is haunted by a man(Horace Hamlin) and a girl(Rowenna Hamlin).
Tomas or Tom in the recording was contacted by cellphone, the person never got the chance to ask Tom anything, Tom said he was busy and would call back, that was 7 years ago....
