The donkey lady

Intro The horrific Donkey Lady of San Antonio claims this stretch of road, or so the urban legend goes. In the shadows of foliage and brush, the disfigured entity lies in wait for hapless drivers, possibly in search of revenge for the horrific acts that were set upon herself and her family. Passersby and curious locals have tested the merits of the Donkey Lady Bridge legend, some having walked away spouting only warnings for others with the same inclination to cause mischief at the feral spirit’s bridge. The Donkey Lady story has several iterations, though they all have the same tragic ending. A melted figure rushes from a burning home, jumps into the cooling river waters, and vanishes forever. Where and when this gruesome tale occurs varies, though the consensus is sometime during the 1800s or the 1950s. The details leading up to the perilous death of the so-called Donkey Lady are also up for debate, though they all unravel in the same location. Though a nightmarish site, the Donkey Lady doesn’t appear to be dangerous. At least, nobody has gotten close enough to warrant being attacked by the spectre. Rambunctious teens and brave ghost hunters have tested the limits of the Donkey Lady. None ever walk away with a marking to suggest that the protector of the bridge is even capable of physical interaction with the living.
