I'm not really surprised, just look at some of the video evidence of hauntings in Amarillo.   Not to mention a downtown bar used to be a funeral parlor, and strange things always happen in the building.

The Nat Ballroom is said to be haunted.  Jackson Square Apartments, demolished in 2015, was said to be haunted.

Here's some of the data on other Texas Panhandle towns.

Borger -  13 Ghosts, 5 UFOs
Canyon-  8 Ghosts, 6 UFOs

It seems that supernatural activity is all over the Texas Panhandle.  I have never seen a spirit or a UFO, hmm, maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots.
