    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 in 1930s clothing, and wooden crosses appearing out of nowhere. The site is also attributed to the occult and satanic groups known as the “Sons of Baphomet” are rumored to perform rituals there. It is also believed that a portal to hell is open in that monument, adding to the already creepy aura the location gives off. Would you visit this location late at night?

Locations known for La Llorona sightings

Image
By Aaron Perez Published 8/7/2025 Image Credit: Ghost City Tours In an earlier blog, I already discussed La Llorona and her backstory, but not where she has been spotted. As a Hispanic legend, La Llorona has many versions that vary from least scary to avoid her at all costs. She also is said to appear in many forms, from a skeleton to a horse-faced creature similar to the Siguanaba of similar legend. Below are the list of locations where La Llorona has been sighted: Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Ciudad Juarez, a border city with a complex history of violence and cultural richness, is inextricably connected with the legend of La Llorona. The Rio Grande (known locally as Rio Bravo) is the location where her ghost apparitions are said to occur, and where her screams are heard piercing the night. Residents say they see and hear her weeping along the riverbanks, especially where the Rio Grande runs through the border. These sightings are often in the Chamizal, Downtown Juarez, and the Felipe Angele...

By Aaron Perez Published 3/18/2025   Raymond Telles Academy, formerly known as Houston Elementary Image Credit: 93.1 Kiss FM Formerly an elementary school named after Sam Houston, this building closed its doors due to lack of student influx and district wide cuts. I actually attended this school myself, and know a thing or two about its hauntings. When it was Houston Elementary, the entire area consisted of four main buildings, but when it was closed, it lay abandoned for some time until it was repurposed. The former Elementary school became part of the district’s early college and the buildings were then separated into two entirely new learning institutions, one being a disciplinary facility named Raymond Telles Academy and the other an early college and pre-school named CCTA. The school that is now known as Raymond Telles Academy is no stranger to hauntings, as police have responded to break-ins late at night from its Houston days, only to find the premise who went there would re...

Horizon City Monster

 By Aaron Perez Published 3/20/2025 Image credit: El Paso Times, Nacho L Garcia Jr.      When one thinks of Bigfoot, they think of heavily wooded forests and mountain ranges, not a desert. Just outside of El Paso, Texas, in the desert suburb known as Horizon City is said to have Bigfoot roam in its outskirts.  This Bigfoot is known as the Horizon City Monster and has been spotted in the area since the 1970s. Its first encounter describes a seven foot gorilla-like creature covered in black fur and standing upright. Some even claim to have observed him drinking in the nearby lake, and that he has a mouth similar to a bulldog's. Witnesses also describe the creature, or creatures, as having catlike eyes and a strong odor. While some claim it as a hoax, others claim that this monster is real, and it had established a home near Lake El Paso, which is inside the city's golf course. Others speculate that the monster was just an unshaven man who lived as a hermit in the ...
