El Loco Police, a Local Juarez Legend.

Transcribed by Aaron Perez, Originally published in Spanish by Karen Cano of Circulo Frontera. The original post can be found here . In Ciudad Juarez, there are many notable legends and ghost tales, due to the history that is within the city. From tales of the Devil appearing in a nightclub to spirits of children roaming cemeteries at night. One of its most famous legends is said to have happened in its town square, in the old city hall. This legend is known as El Loco Police, whose story is talked about to this very day. There are many variations of this legend, but the one I found from Karen Cano, a journalist from Circulo Frontera, a publishing company originating from Mexico. Here is a transcription from her article, which was initially written in Spanish: It’s possible that you’ve heard someone say that those who drink the water of Ciudad Juárez never leave. This saying refers to the hospitality of the city and how many people, once living here, decide to stay, feeling warmly welc...

Short Blog-Riverside Elementary

 By Aaron Perez Published 5/28/2025 Copyright:Paranormal Research Investigations This school is said to be haunted by ghosts of children and disembodied laughter, and an image that has beeb circulating online might be proof of it. An anonymous teacher took this photo and was horrified that the image captured what looks like a specter of a child. The teacher reported that she and other colleagues would hear phantom footsteps at random hours of the day. They would exit their classrooms in an attempt to catch any student running down the halls but find no one. The teacher then took this photo and upon inspection, found the ghost of this little girl in the distance. She went to have the photo analyzed by the local Paranormal Research Investigators group that operates in El Paso and it was found to be genuine.

The El Paso Public Library is no exception, as its main branch sits on top of what used to be one of the first, if not the first burial grounds in the area. This branch has also faced some renovations in order to modernize the building. While the original building was being built, there was a question of what to do with the bones of those buried in its grounds, the easiest answer being to move them somewhere else. Though some bodies have been moved to Concordia Cemetery, others may have been missed and their spirits now roam the property. One such spirit is that of an old time nurse, which can be seen on the main floor of the building which is actually the third floor. The other two floors below it are in the basement, which serve as housing and government archives respectively. Ano...

The graveyard itself is notorious for having many people buried with their boots still on, hence the name Boothill, but this isn’t the only thing that gives the property notoriety. In an infamous photo, A cowboy cosplayer wanted to take a photo on the property, but didn’t notice that a bystander was peeking out from one of the graves. This isn’t the only instance of a ghost appearing in photos or hauntings for that matter, since many specters roam its parts.

She passed away in 1906 and is said to be the lady observed roaming around the property. Another notable ghost...

Right now it is in San Antonio, Texas, at a paranormal convension but earlier this month it was in the Nottworthy Plantation, a historic building also known for its infamy regarding slavery.
