IS THIS HELL’S GATE?
There’s something about the left side of this gate at Goliad State Historical Park in south Texas.
Weirdness: inside the museum stands a model of the Mission Espiritu Santo. At the location where this gate is now, the model builder inserted a man doubled over in agony.
Weirdness: In some old maps there was a well at this location. The area does sink, and has been filled in with concrete.
Weirdness: One Halloween weekend I stayed at this park and I was completely alone in it. On another Halloween weekend the park was crowded. Soon after sunset, multitudes of costumed people lit torches and marched into the mission chapel. It was most bizarre and quite against the posted rules in Texas state parks, and it did not seem to be appropriate for a chapel. Park rangers were nowhere to be found! The next Halloween, it was empty again.
Extreme Weirdness: In 1986 we stayed at the park on a full moon. A presence at this gate called several to go there around midnight. Those that dared to walk across the place returned to our screened shelter crying for no reason. They did not understand what happened to them. The experience changed the course of their lives, and not for the better!
More Weirdness: I have seen this place in my dreams since I was a young child, long before I had been to Texas.
I believe this may be a portal through which evil spirits pass. After seeing the effect it can have on people, I won’t walk over that spot, day or night!
The area has plenty of reasons to be haunted. Goliad has a violent history. For instance, in 1836 Santa Anna executed 300 prisoners here who thought they were about to be released. Legend has it that the San Antonio River that runs through the park turned red with blood! Across the highway, an actual apparition haunts the old Presidio.

I've been there! That one spot is creeeeeeeeeeepy! Just walking past it I got goose bumps and a real uneasy feeling. It's weird.
I have been there also. Being there gave me a ghostly feeling like there was something present there like a spirit.
