Ghost & the Tracks of Mission Ave

During the 1940's in SAN ANTONIO, Texas a school bus with several children were crossing a railroad track on Mission Ave. The bus stalled on the tracks. Several older children along with the driver got out and tried pushing the large bus off the tracks but without warning a train crashed into the bus killing everyone on board.

To this day you can stop your car just before the tracks at MISSION AVE, turn the car off and put it in neutral and take your foot off the brake pedal. The road is on an UPWARD hill leading off the tracks on both sides. Your car WILL start to move UP the hill and accelerate until you cross the tracks about 10 feet and then the car will stop again. People tried to say it was the earth's gravitational pull. Some ghost believers began putting baby powder on the trunks of their cars and bumpers. After the car is over the tracks you get out fo your car and you WILL see finger prints. CHILDREN'S finger prints on your car.

This story has been recorded in newspapers and Television. Ghost Stories on Sci-Fi Channel recently showed a report on this.... The reporter tried this while being video taped and it worked. It is strange to experience this first hand as I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, but ask anyone who ever lived in San Antonio about the tracks and they will tell you it's the ghost of those children. Next time you visit the home of the ALAMO, take a trip over to mission ave and experience this strange report. However, the San Antonio Light newspaper has no report of the accident, yet the prints are still there and the car does move off the tracks. It was great amusement as a teen taking a date out to ole MISSION Ave
