Deep in the heart of San Antonio, Texas, lies a railroad crossing shrouded in mystery. Welcome to the legend of the San Antonio Ghost Tracks.
The story goes that a school bus stalled on these tracks and was tragically struck by a speeding train. The children onboard, they say, lost their lives—but their spirits linger.
Legend has it, the ghosts of these children push stalled vehicles off the tracks, leaving tiny handprints in the powder as proof.
Visitors claim their cars move uphill, defying gravity, and some even report hearing faint laughter and playful voices.
But is this truly paranormal? Investigations reveal that the tracks create an optical illusion—a subtle downhill slope makes cars appear to roll uphill.
Extensive research also uncovered no historical evidence of the alleged fatal collision. And those ghostly handprints? Just residue from everyday human touch.
Despite being debunked, the legend attracts crowds, creating challenges for local residents and law enforcement, especially during Halloween.
Whether you believe in spirits or science, the San Antonio Ghost Tracks remain a haunting piece of local folklore—a tale that stirs curiosity and keeps the magic of storytelling alive.
