Capstone Productions Announces Premier of New Ghost Stories

Jackson Polk has probably done more than most in his generation to put El Paso on the map. His company, Capstone Productions, has produced some great videos: El Paso's Mount Cristo Rey, El Paso's Transportation History, Historic Sites, the Mexican Revolution, the Magoffin Home and more. Jackson co-hosts a live call-in talk show with Leon Metz on KTSM 690 AM on Saturdays from 10 to Noon.

Jackson is also a former Newmanista, having grown-up on Frankfort Avenue and graduated from Austin High School.

His company previously produced the film, "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 1". Now our native Newmanista and El Pasoan has announced the release of "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 2".

Here's his press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

'GHOST STORIES OF EL PASO, VOLUME 2'

TO PREMIERE AT DOWNTOWN THEATER

Screenings open to the public each weekend in October

El Paso, Texas (Sept. 21, 2009) --- Capstone Productions Inc. announces the premiere of its latest film, "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 2," at screenings in the Scottish Rite Theater in Downtown El Paso and in San Elizario throughout the month of October.

Just in time for the Halloween season, the new film presents El Paso history as only spirits can tell it. Viewers go on ghost tours with psychics who talk to spirits --- and the spirits talk back --- at some of El Paso's most historic locations.

The film is a followup to Capstone Production's successful 2008 film "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 1." The new film, "Volume 2," presents all-new stories and visits more locations, including the Ysleta Mission and a mine shaft in the Franklin Mountains.

"Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 2" goes inside a haunted building on Fort Bliss, and finds ghosts at the L&J Cafe and Monteleone's restaurant. In San Elizario, a psychic confronts a legend about Billy the Kid and the local jail. The program also visits Concordia Cemetery, the Magoffin Home and Sunset Heights Grocery.

"Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 2" is not intended to prove or disprove ghost stories, but to explore some of the legends and folk tales that are a part of El Paso's rich history.

The public is invited to attend screenings of "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 2" each weekend in October, either at the Scottish Rite Theater, 301 W. Missouri, in Downtown El Paso, or at the Adobe Horseshoe on the Plaza in San Elizario. Clear Channel Radio El Paso is the media partner for screenings of "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 2."
