Is Southward to Mexico: Mission San Jose, 1833 haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
San Jose is the southward — the '400 miles' that's the walk down, the 'Louisiana fled' that's the five made. The 'Mexico free' is the reached — the 'slavery banned' that's the law's difference, the 'San Antonio' that's the safety won. The 'Army fired' is the defended — the 'Mexican soldiers' that's the catchers shot at, the 'anti-slavery' that's the nation's stand.
The 'reversed map' is the learned — the 'freedom south' that's the direction flipped, the 'Canada far' that's the nearer chose. The 'mission stood' is the witnessed — the '1833' that's the armed defense, the 'five men' that's the shots protected. San Jose is the other — the 'railroad ran south' that's the line forgotten, the 'Mexico as freedom' that's the truth kept.
The file keeps San Jose: the 400 miles, the Mexican rifles, the reversed map, and the five defended.
Mission San Jose is the archive's Texas file — where Mexico's army fired on slave catchers.
Why this file matters
Mission San Jose is the archive's Texas file — where the Underground Railroad ran south.
A mission keeps its rifles — the file's suggestion being that San Jose's hold is the reversed: the 'southward' that's the direction forgotten, the 'Mexican Army fired' that's the defense gave, and the 'five made it' that's the 400 miles won.
