The Haunted Railroad Tracks of San Antonio, Texas
In 1938 a tragic accident at the railroad tracks south of San Antonio, Texas supposedly left several children dead and a state in mourning. Just weeks later reports of ghostly figures lingering on the spot where the accident occurred were starting to be passed around.

Except, did the tragic accident ever really happen?
