"Admittedly,
I tend to be more than usually skeptical when I hear reports about shopping
centers and the like being haunted and to give a hard look at whether there is,
in fact, a credible reason why they would be. In the case of the Alamo Quarry
Market, however, it does not take too much digging to reveal that, being
located just a few miles from the headwaters of the San Antonio River, it has
been continuously inhabited since time immemorial. More than 10,000 years ago
Paleo-Indians hunted and gathered throughout the abundant area and every people
who have followed them, from Apaches and Comanches to Spaniards, Mexicans, and
Anglo-Americans, have availed themselves of its riches as well. Prior to being
adapted for commercial use, in fact, it was the site of the sprawling Alamo
Cement Company factory, and many elements of the old industrial complex have
been retained and even incorporated into the shopping center. So, Alamo Quarry
Market has got more than enough history behind it to make a case for it being haunted."
That is the opening paragraph to my chapter on Alamo Quarry Market, and the movie theater located there, for Ghosthunting San Antonio, Austin, and Texas Hill Country.
