Summary:
We really enjoyed our ghost tour and learning about the haunted history of San Antonio. The coolest part was being in the dark cemetery and my husband seeing someone walking in the other end of the Cemetary and they weren’t a part of our group. We re not sure what was up with that! Maybe it was a ghost! We will never know
