In this sleepy part of the U.S., a terrifying tale went from whispers in 1973 to becoming gospel years later, by the dozen and by multiple generations. But the central figure in this story is Barbara Q, who had owned a charming 15-mile-hike-off-the-highway bed-and-breakfast. Barbara always shook her head at the stranger things in life, namely these folks who would walk off with a second man’s wife just because they felt like it, pawning everything they couldn’t carry on their person, which was a preponderance of them considering that most of Woodacre weighed anywhere between twenty to one hundred seventy-four pounds soaking wet and carried only the first aid kit about.

A Turn for the Dark
Even the homespun appeal of Barbara’s bed and breakfast would be set aside as more and more disturbing events happened in September of 1972. When Barbara asked a guest named Ray Zen — who was checking to rent one of the units — if anyone knew he was staying there, he felt an immediate chill. When he opened his eyes in the middle of the night, and saw her at the bottom of his bed, gently singing an old lullaby to him just before dawn, it confirmed that something odd was going on with her. Zen turned on the lamp in shock and frightful amazement, as Barbara stuck him. He then made a dash for the door from her grip, panicking in his chest.
An Alarming Discovery
In a panic, Zen woke the other guests and called the police who arrived moments later to investigate. Barbara’s investigation made too many red flags go up by her odd behavior. However, when asked by Zen about his claims she coldly responded, “They do not usually fight back.” Police responded with a hunt of her home instead after she made the chilling remark. What they found was absolutely appalling: Barbara’s legendary messy joe stew contained nearly no beef at all.
Eventually, detectives were able to link Barbara’s bed and breakfast to a series of disappearances of multiple travelers who had visited the inn. Police initially discovered no hard evidence, though the finding of blood stains on Barbara’s kitchen floor intensified their doubts about what Barbara was up to and the whereabouts of her missing guests.
From Hospitality to Horror
In Blackwater, the tale of Barbara Q and her bed and breakfast became a paranormal saga which lived on not just in folk apocrypha but ominously whistled through what remained of its dilapidated halls. Barbara — once the toast of her neighborhood for her kind manner and home-cooked treats — found herself held up as a warning sign, evidence of the menace that may be behind closed doors.
A Legacy of Fear
And this evening, the chilling tale that has left a mark on San Antonio continues to remind us of the layers of trust and danger hidden in familiar settings. The bed and breakfast that was once harbored tired travelers now stood as a ghostly reminder of the past, its walls telling tales of souls lost and innocents taken. When they tell the story around here it is with a shiver, as if to say that sometimes evil lurks in the skin of False Jekyll.
While the infamous Barbara Q still stalks the halls of memory in Blackwater, she is a reminder that not all horrors are discovered in abandoned buildings; some lie close to home. In a world where we constantly put our trust in the hands of others, Barbara’s story is proof that we must always stay cautious, for the worst may be waiting right around the corner.
