Halloween only comes once a year, but some Texas State students and San Marcos locals are keeping the spooky spirit alive all year long. Paranormal Investigators at Texas State is a new student organization dedicated to investigating the ghoulish goings-on of the university campus and San Marcos. Every other Thursday, the group meets up to investigate possible hauntings.
Meanwhile, at Buzz Mill, a witches market popped up on October 14 to bring the people of San Marcos tarot readings and enchanted crystals.

“I find that with this deck it doesn’t matter what angle you come in on or what you decided that you wanted to sit down and talk about. It really does a good job of cutting through masks and talking about what you need to hear right now…These cards kind of have a way of cutting through bulls***.”
