As a non believer i look for the evidence to prove that ghosts do not exist. Many research projects over the San Antonio Ghost Tracks have been completed. Almost every single one of these researchers have proven that the haunted tracks are nothing more than a myth and optical illusion. Most of the experiments have ended with the same result.The accident involving the school bus and train didn't actually take place near San Antonio at all. It actually took place in Midvale, Utah.  The story was covered in gory, gruesome details in the local San Antonio paper though, for quite awhile leading some of the locals to believe that the accident took place locally.(Barnett) The story has also been scientifically proven wrong. The road leading up to the tracks is actually a down hill slope, it is nothing more than an optical illusion. The road is slopes down hill enough that your car will gain enough momentum to go up and over the tracks, this is also the reason why you have to go over the tracks in the supposed direction the bus did, because the other direction is up hill. As for the mysterious fingerprints that show up when you powder your trunk, its believed that they are your old finger prints from when you've opened your trunk that are you made visible by the dusting of the powder.(Polston) Even though the tracks themselves may not be haunted in the sense that little ghost children push your car, it still is a creepy area at night and gives off an eerie vibe.
