San Antonio's Ghost Tracks is a local legend that centers around a set of railroad tracks located on the south side of the city. According to the legend, a tragic accident involving a school bus full of children occurred on these tracks many years ago. The story goes that if you park your car on the tracks and put it in neutral, the ghosts of the children will push your car safely across the tracks to prevent another accident.

Visitors to the Ghost Tracks often report feeling a slight push as their car crosses the tracks, despite the apparent slight incline of the road. Some even claim to see tiny handprints left behind on their vehicles after the experience. The phenomenon has become a popular local attraction, drawing curious visitors who seek to witness or experience the supposed paranormal activity for themselves.

Despite various explanations attempting to debunk the phenomenon—such as the idea of an optical illusion or natural slope causing the movement—belief in the Ghost Tracks persists among many locals and visitors alike, adding to San Antonio's rich tapestry of urban legends and ghost stories.
