Las Siete Cabecitas-The Seven Little Heads

Image
 By Aaron perez Published 6/26/2025 Image Credit: Radio Formula Juarez      Northwest of Chihuahua capital, there’s the dangerous route 21, which goes through a mountain pass and is filled with dangerous wide curves. It is also known for a tragedy that happened on August 1, 1939 involving a bus filled with 25 children. The bus had a collision on the spot known as “the death curve” claiming the lives of seven children. That spot is now the home of a monument called The Seven Little Heads, which serves as a memorial for those children who lost their lives that day. The area itself is spooky due to how isolated it is from the capital, but it is also rumored to be haunted. Legend has it that those seven children remained on the spot and their ghosts are rumored to be seen late at night. Those who visit the spot late at night also mention that they can hear a bus crashing and the cries of injured kids in the dark. The location is also the sight of phantom lights, children...

By Aaron Perez Legend by Roberto Britto, fist published in Mexico Unexplained   Published 6/23/2025, Legend originally published on Mexico Unexplained on 3/20/2022 Image Credit: https://www.archdaily.com/      The State of Chihuahua is an area that has multiple environments in its borders, not unlike New Mexico in the north. In the western part of the state about 50-60 miles from the capital, there is a forest and national park area called Majalca, which is the setting for a legend of a black box. I first heard this legend as a child but decided to revisit it and share it with my audience. I am going to post a translated version written by Roberto Britto, author of the website Mexico Unexplained below and give a brief summary. To summarize it quicky, it is said that five young men would wander the road from the area to the capital but one night they found a black box. One of the group members, Fernando, opened the box and to their horror, found a mummified woma...

Monteleone Ristorante

Originally the site of a spiritualist church, Monteleone’s was founded in the 1990s as an italian restaurant. For those who don’t know, a spiritualist church revolves on seances and summoning the dead, something that you would want to avoid if you don’t want to experience the paranormal. Many renovations to the restaurant have revealed artifacts from its spiritualist church era, which still may retain the energies of the spirits that still linger there. Paranormal psychics that have worked in the area mention that a portal from its spiritual church days still lingers in the property, which is where the spirits originate from. There are also many examples of paranormal activity in the  restaurant, from cold spots to the feeling of somebody watching you at all times. Other examples include lasa...

Image Credit: Trost Society      Tracing back to 1879, the first academy of what would later be known as Loretto was first established in San Elizario, Texas by the Sisters of Loretto as St. Joseph’s Academy. By 1892, it was later moved to central El Paso before Mother Praxedes Carty, a member of the Sisters of Loretto, amassed funds to purchase the 19 acres where the current campus stands. Despite criticism, the school was designed by the Trost and Trost architectural firm and opened its doors in 1923. The building was constructed facing Mexico, symbolizing inclusivity for all who lived in the area. The school serves students from Kinder all the way to the twelfth grade, with six-twelfth being all females. The school is also rumored to be haunted by various spirits within its walls, the first being the ghost of a nun is said to haunt the tower of the...
