Step back in time and imagine what it was like to be a participant in the thirteen-day siege of the Alamo that ended in a bloody battle on March 6, 1836, and left nearly 2,000 men dead. The horror of those final moments when men fought for their lives in hand-to-hand combat is etched in the landscape. Even today, the intense moments of the final siege repeat themselves for those who happen to be in the right place at the right time. Ghostly manifestations and paranormal sightings within the battlefield area and on the Alamo grounds have been reported for over 160 years. These mysterious appearances, many of which occur around the anniversary of the battle, simply add to the legends of the Alamo.
