| "Haunted San Antonio" by Kathy Matthews |
Rachel Hernandez is a full-time river taxi driver/tour guide on the River Walk in San Antonio, Texas. She had grown up on the boats and knew the river by heart. Both of her parents had been guides before her.
Rachel was a spirit magnet. She knows where to look for them, and they like keeping an eye on her. Rachel's favorite spirit is the young and beautiful actress Lilian Dutcher, who had died a tragic death by falling from the balcony of The Esquire in 1946. To those who know where to look, Lilian can be easily spotted from the middle window above the ivy in the building next door.
Bad spirits are out there too, such as the evil Hector Director (the man who pushed Lilian, but wasn't blamed). Hector now resides by the well at the Alamo.
Read and learn about the most haunted places in San Antonio! (150)
Okay, so I made that all up. But I do see a LOT in that there picture, which really is next door to The Esquire Tavern. To read my blog post about The Esquire, please CLICK HERE. For more possible San Antonio sightings, you might want to check out this post too: "Can you spot some faces in these places?". Also, for pictures of our tour along the River Walk, please take a look at this link: The River Walk Area of San Antonio, Texas.
Thank you, Lisa, for choosing one of my pictures again this week! Oh, here is the photo I took at The Alamo at night, of the newly named bad man, Hector Director. He really is scary looking:
