Windsor will always live in my heart. I was stationed at Lackland in 1978. I came here from a small Oregon town and my wife and I are small town people. We used to have fun just driving around Loop 410, sightseeing! The trip was never complete until we got cotton candy at the mall. Ah, to be young again. Thank you for the video.🙂

The beer garden was a nice place and they brewed good beer. In 1976 I talked to a brewery manager and told him it reminded me of the Yusay Pilsen Brewery in Chicago which also had a park and beer garden. He told me that when Yusay Pilsen closed a number of their workers came to Lone Star. Very fond memories of both places of a world long gone--very sad.

My mom, uncles, aunts, grandparents and generations of my family are buried here. I am 68 years old and remember as a little girl going with my uncle to maintain the Gonzales’ family plots. Every one is responsible to keep their sections clean. Me and my sisters visited just a couple of weeks ago to visit my uncle’s grave on his birthday. Thank you for this video!

These idiots I was doing security for didn't tell me what this place was. Ive lived in San Antonio my whole life. I've heard about the place but never knew where it was. But I did two nights there parked right in front from 9 to 5 am. And yes it's haunted for sure not even the horses in the stable would come close. I would see shadows constantly throughout the night around my vehicle this night is a full moon and it was a heavier feeling tonight. The air felt heavy in my chest. And cats were appearing out of no where acting in humanish ways just the reactions running towards me fast what cat does that they keep distance n when I took off seeing it coming it was surprised that I was leaving the look on its face like she notices me and my approach. Intuition told me it's a witch. Very evil satanic place. Being that I'm a spiritualist intuitive my guides advised me of the place. Sacrifices of young children and being burned alive. Abandoned children human trafficking organ taking black market all in this building and still going on. That's why it's being reconstructed for the juvenile boys that are there next door. Why a shooting range so they can shoot the young boys with out a trace. Bexar county come on you know the system is twisted. The illuminati runs that. We are in the end days more blood moons more sacrifice. That place needs to be burned down. And why is there a chimney in one those buildings for the bodies they burn burn alive no trace. And why is their a airport so close by to traffic the organs faster. Come on now!! Open y'all's eyes do something. There has to be justice for these kids these boys. They need help. Justice justice justice. I pray to God. Stay away from this evil place unless you want to bring something back with you. Pray pray for these children or take this place down.

When I was a school boy this building housed a reform school. We called it "Southton". Whenever we got in trouble the adults would ask, you don't want to end up in Southton do you? No one wanted to go there. Once a friend and I rode our bikes out there to wave at a juvenile delinquent friend from outside the fence. Of course we never saw him.

I grew up on southton in the 70s 80s 90s. In the 70s,80s my brother and I used to hunt and fish in the woods all around there. We used to go play in the old hospital. Also my grandfather worked and retired from there. He spent decades there. Sadly. As mentioned in this video. He got tuberculosis and died. I remember we were all tested for a few years. What I didn't see is the other graveyard on southton. I lived beside the road to get to it. My brother and I used to hang out and dove in in the graveyard. There are haves in there from the late 1800s. Even a section for babies. It was the free neighborhood cemetery. As a matter of fact. My brother's wifes grandparents are buried there. I was 17-18 I believe. We dug the graves with the family. I used to stay the night out there. My brother and I would camp out at the back of it because it was real close to solado Creek where we fished and hunted. I can show you where it's at. It's hidden back into the woods. I was there the other day to spread some ashes as she has just passed away. My mother and grandparents grew up on southton since 1911. My mother always wanted some of her ashes to be spread in solado Creek where she grew up. I would like to know more about the cemetery I mentioned if the person who made this video would like to know where the other cemetery is at. I can show you

One thing I almost forgot is an elderly co-worked of mine at TEEKS told me when he was a small boy his mother worked there, she witnessed wagon loads of bodies buried in one large hole, these were patients who died of tuberculosis.
@marilyngraham1575Ай бұрын
I worked for TEEKS back in the early 90’s. TEEKS is the training decision of Texas A&M. Bob Huges & I would go there to do inventory every year. There was a fully equipped Hospital, a workshop area that had a small Airplane and many other parts of airplanes. I went there many times alone, I’d heard nosies in the building that housed the airplanes. In the hospital many time I’d see shadows of people looking out the windows.

I remember interviewing at Rackspace. They took me to the "Donkey Kong" room, lol. Very interesting place and experience! I had a number of friends that worked there over the years and had great experiences, but by some miracle I dodged a bullet and didn't get hired. They had their downhill trend start right around that time.
