Local Legends (San Antonio, Alamo, Anton: fit in, haunted, history)

[Merovee]

This does not really fit in any of the haunted or gone-but-not-forgotten threads but I am sure there are more legends than this one so share the folklore.

The Mysterious Woman In Blue And Her Gift To San Antonio By The Hands Of One Woman In Every Generation

Out of the underground passages of the Alamo she comes once in every generation, or, when her gift has lapsed—this Mysterious Woman in Blue. Her Gift is not to the first person she happens to meet—but she searches until she finds a worthy recipient. And, strange to tell, tradition says, she always selects a native Texan, of the same type of woman, tall, eyes of gray—changeable with her moods, dark, fine hair—not black. In character the woman is superior, pure and good, well-bred, intelligent, spiritual and patriotic. She may be young or old or middle-aged. Stranger yet, the woman to whom the Gift is given does not always know that she possesses the Gift of the Woman in Blue, though she is always ready to use her talents for the good of others.

...

She is here now—the Woman with the Gift for San Antonio, and oh, how we need her! She will help you and she will help me, if we find her! Who is she?
