WIMBERLEY, TEXAS - The hills runs east to west, rising to an
elevation of 1,274 feet at a roadside park on State Highway 32. It lies in an
area of the Balcones Escarpment characterized by flat to rolling terrain with
locally deep and dense dissection and generally shallow to deep loamy soil with
rock outcrops. The ridge of hills in northeastern Comal County, is on the Hays
county line thirteen miles north of New Braunfels, Texas. This area is aptly called
the Devil's Backbone.

It's name should be a
hint that something is just not right there. Locals say it's the most
haunted hills in Texas. Many reports of apparitions ranging from 16th
century Spanish monks, Native American Indians spirits, and even a
entire company of Confederate soldier's traveling on horse back. The
horses hooves sounded like thunder and shook the walls of a bunk house.
Campers report smelling camp fires (in places where fires are not
allowed) and being followed by unseen people while hiking. Hunters talk
about hearing footsteps at the bottom of their deer stands. The
strangest reports come from a few that say they where possessed by the
spirit of a wolf.
There has also been many deaths on this road. One was the murder of one of my closes friends.
