Ghost story time!
While setting up for our downtown ghost tour paranormal investigation, we had just turned out the lights. This was in the basement of the Gardner Hotel, where we currently do our investigation at the end of our tour. Suddenly, I see a child run past me. I only see the top of his head, and was tempted to pat his head like one would to a son or grandson as they ran past. I thought for a moment that a guest let their young child loose to run amok in the basement. Quickly I realized that this was no living child. I asked our guests if they saw anything and a couple people said they saw a blur go past where I was standing. Was it Adam? One of our resident spirit? Or something else?

Spooky season is here! Let's celebrate by telling ghost stories. Here's one of ours:
During a tour at the Gateway Hotel, our group was in the basement, in a room that had a bunch of dishwashers and other junk filling the room. At one end there is a doorway and a window, a hallway beyond that. Our investigator Alex said "look at the window", because he saw someone looking at us. We looked that direction only to see a guy run past the doorway. I chased after the guy, who was wearing a white short sleeve shirt with blue trim, into the boiler room. Several guests followed me into the boiler room only to find nobody in there. There was no exit, and nowhere someone could hide. We then realized that we could see through the man as he ran past the doorway.
Activity like that was common in the Gateway, our guests often seeing full-body apparitions.
Let's hear your ghost stories, even things that happened on our ghost tour!
Join us on our downtown ghost tour, which includes a paranormal investigation in the basement of the Gardner Hotel. Ticket link in the comments section.

The rules are as follows:
1. Time and Location:
- The cookoff will take place at Cornudas Texas at 12pm mountain time on Saturday, September 19th 2026. Doors will open at 11am.

3. Chili Requirements:
-Participants MUST come prepared with AT LEAST 1 gallons of Chili. 1 pint will be used by the judges while the remaining will be used for sampling by festival goers. The more the better!
- Chili may be prepared in advance, however we ask that final preparation and warming takes place on site
- All chili must be homemade; no prepackaged chili or store-bought mixes allowed.
- The chili must loosely follow the definition of “any kind of meat, or combination of meats, and/or vegetables cooked with or without beans, chili peppers, various spices, and other ingredients”. Our goal is to keep the definition as loose as possible. It MUST, however, generally be considered “chili” under a standard definition of chili.
- The recipe must include a list of ingredients (for allergy purposes) but not the quantities or specific preparation methods.
-Participants are required to bring their own chili cook apparatus. Cornudas cannot supply enough crockpots, electric outlets, etc for everyone. We will have backup power but supply will be limited!

1. Taste (flavor, seasoning, etc.)
2. Texture (consistency of the chili)
3. Aroma (smell of the chili)
4. Appearance (presentation)
5. Creativity (unique ingredients or preparation)

5. Judging Process:
- Judges will score each chili on a scale of 1-10 for each criterion.
- The chili with the highest total score will be declared the winner.
- In the event of a tie, a “taste-off” may be held with the tied chilis.
*Judges reserve to tweak the judging process in the event of too many entrants!

6. Serving and Presentation:
- Entrants will be required to sample and taste their own chili in front of judges before serving to the judges or the public.
- Serving utensils and dishes will be supplied on site by Cornudas.
- Chili should be served warm; participants should bring their own warming devices.

7. Health and Safety:

- Chili should be kept at a safe temperature before and during the event.

8. Awards:
- Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on the judges' scores.

9. Disqualification:
- Any participant found to be using pre-made chili or not following the rules will be disqualified.
- Standard restaurant health and safety code must be followed at all times or it will result in immediate disqualification.

10. Miscellaneous:
- Participants must clean up their area after the event.
- All decisions by the judges are final.
