List of Reportedly Haunted Locations in The World - Mexico

Mexico

• Guanajuato: The Le Casa de las Brujas or The House of the Witches, was built in 1865. The house was owned by a Dutch mine owner by the name of Steve Carson. He was imprisoned for the murder of a man in a cantina for awhile. His daughter Susan was left in the custody of her aunts in the house. She was supposedly found beaten and starved to death in the cellar after a year. Susan haunts the house to this day. Appearances, sounds, and cold spots have all been discovered here.

• San Juan Teotihuacán: The Pilar Hacienda was built by the Spaniards who came to Mexico in the 16th century. It was one of the many ranches built by these explorers. Since the Hacienda is about two hundred years old, it is in very bad condition. The floors are very liable to breakdown. The hacienda is now owned by a farmer. On the top floor of the building there is a large cut on the window. It is believed to be the mark by Miguel Aritztia who was a Spanish hidalgo. It seems that he died from falling off the balcony. When he went down he grabbed the window and created a long scratch. The wife of Miguel has been seen on the balcony crying "oh, my husband." She was there at the time of his death and tried to save him. Mr. Aritztia has been seen hanging from the window and has also been seen in a window. It is said that at times the scratch has disappeared from the window.

• Swamp South of Mexico City: The Island of Dolls is one of the most haunted sites in Mexico. Don Julian Santana was a man who lived as a hermit on this island for over fifty years. The tragic accident of a girl who drowned on the island while visiting, caused further madness in Julian. Some people believe that he started fishing dolls out of the river because he believed that the dolls were real children. Whatever it was that motivated him, the island was turned into a shrine for that little girl. Dolls by the hundreds hang in the trees and the house. Don Julian Santana was found in the same part of the river that the little girl drowned in by his nephew. He said that he heard voices beckoning to him from the river. Each of the dolls is believed to be fused with the energy of the little girl. Candles, hard candy, and dolls should be brought as offerings to appease the spirits. The dolls are said to move, beckon, and speak to those who come. The spirit of the man is also believed to be there still. Orbs, loud sounds, and opening doll eyes abound.

• Villa de Santiago, Puerto Genovevo: These mountainous roads have been the site of many car accidents. Among the numerous crosses, there is a set of ten crosses which are there for the remembrance of a family who was the tragic victims of a truck accident. If one stands next to the crosses, it is possible to see a truck moving very fast through the trees. Also, it is said that at midnight the screams and pain of those in the accident can be heard.
