Is Spanish Governor’s Palace haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Spanish Governor's is the '49 — the 'keystone' that's the carved, the 'Comandancia' that's the captain's. The 'not governor' is the truth — the 'office' that's the only, the 'Urrutia' that's the 1730s. The '3 feet' is the walls — the 'adobe' that's the thermal, the '14-foot' that's the ceilings.

The 'DeZavala' is the saved — the '1930s' that's the restored, the 'romanticized' that's the named. The 'ghost girl' is the EVP — the 'giggles' that's the caught, the 'K2' that's the responded. Spanish Governor's is the only — the 'Spanish Colonial' that's the residential, the 'Texas' that's the remaining.

The file keeps Spanish Governor's: the 1749 keystone, the not-governor truth, the DeZavala save, and the ghost girl.

Spanish Governor's Palace is the archive's San Antonio file — the captain's house.
