March 9th - The Mystery of the San Antonio Ghost Tracks
On March 9th, 1930, a tragic accident occurred on the railroad tracks near the intersection of Shane and Villamain roads in San Antonio, Texas. According to local legend, a school bus stalled on the tracks and was struck by an oncoming train, killing all the children aboard. Since then, the area has become known as the "Ghost Tracks" due to the unexplained phenomena that occur there.
Visitors to the site have reported that when a car is stopped on the tracks and put into neutral, it will mysteriously roll uphill and off the tracks, seemingly defying the laws of gravity. Many believe that the spirits of the deceased children are responsible for pushing the cars to safety, preventing another tragedy from occurring.
Over the years, numerous people have tested this phenomenon, and while some claim it to be true, others argue that it's merely an optical illusion caused by the slightly sloping road leading up to the tracks. However, those who have experienced the ghostly push firsthand insist that there's more to the story than meets the eye.
Some witnesses have reported seeing ghostly figures of children near the tracks, while others claim to have heard eerie whispers and laughter. A few have even captured strange orbs and anomalies in photographs taken at the site.
Despite various investigations and attempts to debunk the mystery, the San Antonio Ghost Tracks continue to attract curious visitors from around the world, eager to experience the unexplained phenomena for themselves. Whether the ghostly push is the work of supernatural forces or simply a trick of the mind, the legend of the Ghost Tracks remains an intriguing part of San Antonio's haunted history.
