Two of Texas's most-told ghost stories, one drive. First, San Antonio's most famous urban legend — a South Side railroad crossing where, for nearly a century, drivers have sworn their cars get pushed over the tracks by unseen hands — and the well-documented gravity-hill science behind it. Then a genuinely haunting ruin, a working 300-year-old mission, and a downtown riverbank where guides still tell La Llorona, the Weeping Woman, a folk tale far older than San Antonio itself. This drive leads with the real history and the real physics every time, and labels the legend as legend.
