So the train tracks in San Antonio are urban legend. It works there because of the incline of the tracks and road and if you put your car in neutral it will roll back or forward.
Not to sound aggressive or anything but I knew some one would eventually mention that because of incline it makes the car roll. But I have done this the proper way which is not to park on the tracks but to stop on the flat part about 10feet or so and put the car in neutral and it will roll across the flat pavement, up the hill, over the tracks,and down. Also felt some presences there and heard kids voices. I was sober, there was no wind and the handprints did appear on the freshly washed car.

YouTube - Haunted in San Antonio

Mentioned are the Donkey Lady, La Llorona, the Haunted Rail Tracks, and an old insane asylum. Creeeeepy.

Just wondering,has anyone ever encountered La Llorona? Probably not because to do so means sickness, misfortune or death.( Kind of like the Irish banshee).
Anyone ever seen La Lechusa?

In case anyone is interested, The Institute of Texan Cultures is hosting a "Late-Night Paranormal Investigation." It sounds pretty interesting and fun, but maybe a bit expensive. Still it might be kinda worth it to check out though especially if you are really into this kind of stuff.

I love spooky stuff but i have to say......

if youve ever been in a tilted house the stuff inside is tilted and thehouse is tilted opposite way.

in other words the hill before you may be at a 5 degree angle up but the hill it sits on is at a 7 degree angle. so you are on a 2 degree downslope. it appears and feels like your rolling up hill or on a flat surface but its the bigger hill slope which is carrying you down.

You are correct, but that is not as fun as believing it is supernatural forces at work!

Search this thread...specific directions have given. A

Also, it is private property; so if you plan to do anything other than look through the fence at the cemetery...don't!
