River City Ghosts: San Antonio Apparitions

Take in some of the most incredible true stories of a city that was built with literal blood, sweat, and tears. The developme ... nt of San Antonio came at a price. Our tour is filled with well-researched, evidence-based accounts of spirit sightings in every location we take you to.



There are some stories you just won’t find in a history book. Stories of dead soldiers being carried downstream of the San Antonio River, spreading disease and contaminating the primary water source of the area. What you know about the Riverwalk may not include the darkness that precedes the name. Buildings that are now historical markers and serve as places of entertainment were once home to traumatic events and personal despair.



While the city saw plenty of bloodshed during the battle at The Alamo, the Great Depression is equally as guilty for being a grim era for San Antonio. Suicide was rampant throughout the area, with incidents occurring at The Empire Theatre and the Tower Life Building. As you can see, The Alamo was just the beginning. There is so much to explore in downtown San Antonio, and you never know who you might just see.
