Reports of supernatural activity in Corpus Christi, Texas, largely focus on haunted locations and ghost sightings rather than physical attacks. The term “super natural attacks” appears to be a misunderstanding of local folklore and paranormal investigations. The USS Lexington, for example, is known for ghostly touches and shadowy figures, not for physical aggression. Similarly, urban legends and ghost stories from the area mention unsettling experiences but not violent attacks.
