Night falls across downtown San Antonio and the streetlamps throw long shadows across brick sidewalks. A costumed guide—sometimes a saloon madam, sometimes a lawman—leads a small group through lantern-lit doorways and into bars set inside century-old buildings, where the wood still remembers louder days. The tour moves with the ebb of the city: short walks between three haunted stops, stories traded over a drink, and pauses on corners where history hangs in the air.
