I first heard about this story while listening to a new CD I bought by a native of Corpus Christi Texas, Selena's home town. The CD is called " Remember Selena ", viva Corpus Christi, Tx. It has several great songs, one that won first place in an international song contest called " Me Esta Esperando Selena", which translates into "Selena is waiting for me ". You can only get this CD through Romancephotograhpy.com via mail. I'd suggest you get if you are a Selena fan. I listened to it about a hundred times, its very good
At the end of the in CD there is an interview with the Artist who tells a story about one of the many ghost stories along the Gulf Coast. This one spoke about seeing Selena's walking along the shores of Corpus Christi Beach on hot, quite summer nights. According to people who knew Selena's history, she had led a very troubled childhood, after her father forced her to quit school in order to work and support the family. He had dreams of being a big time promoter and obligated his kids to perform, then treated them harshly. He literally stole Selena's childhood from her by forcing her to perform in the family business which he ran like a dictator. He forced her to drop out of high school, so she never got to experience all the thrills of being young, carefree and happy. He was protective and jealous, so she never had boyfriends. He was allegedly overly jealous of any male that came around. He was so protective, to the point of causing people to wonder if there wasn't anything inappropriate going on between himself and Sweet,beautiful Selena. No one may ever know that for certain.
What is certain is that he got rich off his children, especially Selena who is now a legend in the music culture of Texas. We are also asked to believe she was murdered by Yolanda, the woman who worshiped her. The father accused her of stealing. What is known is that Selena was killed by a bullet fired from a gun Yolanda was holding, the rest is music legend. The details of what led up to her murder, may never be known.
The legend of Selena's ghost begins shortly after she was buried at Sea Side Memorial park, less than a block form the ocean, along Ocean View blvd. in Corpus Christi, Tx. People who come by the thousands to view her grave have reported hearing her singing just as the sun sets,on hot, quite summer nights. People have reported seeing her walking on Corpus Christi beach along the sea wall, near the T-heads and the Holiday Inn
I was not prepared for what happened next. We had not been there longer than an hour when we noticed a shadowy woman's figure moving form the road onto the grave itself, standing still, sitting, standing then raising. It was spooky as hell, then we heard a woman's voice crying. The strangeness of the sound made it difficult to recognize the voice, but it was clearly a woman's voice and she was crying. We stood there transfixed in awe, a little scared but completely blown away. The legends of Selena's Ghost is true. After a few moments it disappeared. Her grave site is only a few miles form the beach, plus she would go there and sit when she needed some peace.
The nights along the gulf coast are very dark, quite and muggy. During the summer when there is no breeze coming in off the sea,it gets very humid and mist forms. Sometimes a melodic. agreeable sound is heard, humming sweetly carried by the humid, hot night. Some say its only music floating in from passing cars, I believe it's Selena's sweet voice which lingers over the beach she loved so much. For those of you who wish to hear her voice,you should know Corpus Christi is a beautiful city, with lots to do. They have a small statue of her not far from where she's been seen walking along the shore. Selena was one of it's beautiful points of interest.
I don't think Selena's ghost is anything to fear. I do feel her life was wrongfully stolen from her. She was on the verge of major success in the music industry with the soon to be released cross over album. She wanted to have a family, she and Chris were working on it at the time. (No doctor's say she was not pregnant at the time of her death) I think because of her violent death that's why Selena is still here in ghost form. She can never come back and life pick up where she had left off. Everything she had was taken from her the day she was murdered. Selena was nowhere ready to die. She knew she was in trouble as she made her way to the hotel lobby to get help. Selena did not leave by choice of her own. Her life was tragically stolen from her.
We all have a soul a spirit if you will. Where does it go when a person dies? Some do not go to the waiting place. Some stick around because something prevents them from being able to accept their death and leave. Why is Selena's ghost still here? What is it that prevents her from being able to rest in peace? Why is it people say they can hear her cry? Has her ghost been seen other places like her house, Q Productions Studio, Her property they bought to build a house and raise children and lots of animals?
