Don’t be caught alone at San Antonio’s 13th Floor!
Of all man’s fears, perhaps one of the most rational is the fear of being alone. Humans are congenial creatures, often achieving their best through interaction with others. We are not meant to live a solitary life, and isolation from others can often feel like a death sentence. Food, water, oxygen, and companionship – these comprise the essential nutrients of a healthy life.
Imagine then, this rational fear unleashed to extreme levels. Autophobia – the irrational fear of being alone – can leave one feeling utterly isolated regardless of who may be near. Even in a crowded room, the autophobiac may feel completely, hopelessly alone, often to the point of self-loathing. Dreadfully painful, to say the least. Desperate, vulnerable and helpless, an autophobiac would no doubt be pushed to the limits if this fear were to manifest itself within the darkened halls of 13th Floor Haunted House, San Antonio’s largest and longest haunted attraction!
Descending into the darkened heart of a 105 year old building, a secret 13th floor lies in wait, home to lost souls and restless spirits. Rumored to be the haunting ground of an unfortunate group whose lives were stolen far too soon, this eerie building briefly served as a hotel in the 1940s for passengers traveling through historic Sunset Station. Today it acts as the living embodiment of the superstition surrounding the number 13, and its mysterious legacy of being omitted from buildings by cautious designers. Odd occurrences and strange sightings abound here, taunting the living to enter and explore. It goes without saying that “safety in numbers” truly applies in this environment, as visitors take comfort in knowing that they are protected by those who have undertaken this venture with them, or at the very least will not go out alone if the dark powers of the supernatural triumph.
Yet even surrounded by familiar faces, it is all too easy to feel isolated within 13th Floor. Confronted with psychological horrors beyond imagination, human minds never feel more alone and detached than when our inner fears and dreads are laid bare before us. No amount of reassurance can erase the thought of how terrifying it is to be left alone, to fend for ourselves against our own irrational psyche. How ironic, then, that the pitiful autophobiac, lost and alone, might actually find solace here – of all places – among countless other lonely souls searching for a final place of rest…
