Ever wondered if all ghost stories are meant to chill your spine? Or can they also warm your heart? Join us, Pat and Dave, your Barefoot Mystery Junkies, as we spin a tale of tragedy and redemption, set in the backdrop of San Antonio, Texas. In 1938, a devastating accident occurred, when a school bus full of innocent children met a tragic end on a railroad track. But the story doesn't end there. It is said that the spirits of these lost children linger, not to haunt, but to lend a helping hand.

Are these children's spirits here to guide and protect us? Or is everything just figments of our imaginative minds? We leave it up to you to decide.
