00:00Hello and welcome to Watch Mojo Español, I am Jackie and for this list we will be
00:07seeing those urban legends, whose macabre stories have a real origin in which they were
00:13inspired. For this top we will be looking only at those cases where the crimes have
00:31been proven or involve people whose existence has been documented.
00:37Felicitas Guerrero, one of the most beautiful and rich women in
00:57the 19th century, played a tragic story that marked the Porteño aristocracy. He was born
01:03in Buenos Aires in 1846 and at the age of 18 he married Martín de Alzaga, a much older
01:11and extremely rich man, although his husband died shortly after, leaving Felicitas widowed
01:17and as one of the most coveted and wealthy women in the country. In spite of his suitors,
01:36Felicitas finally fell in love with Samuel Saenz Valiente. However, Enrique Ocampo,
01:41another aspirant who had been rejected, could not bear the idea of losing her. Ocampo
01:47arrived at the house of the Guerreros in the neighborhood of Barracas with the excuse of
01:51returning some letters. After the discussion, Ocampo shot Felicitas in the back, causing
01:57a fatal wound. Ocampo died a moment later, it is said that he was killed by Felicitas' relatives
02:05who spied on the scene. After his death, his parents built the Church of Santa Felicitas
02:24in his honor. The legend that surrounds his story says that his ghost appears in the church,
02:29and the women who seek luck in love tie handkerchiefs on the bars of the place, waiting to see them
02:35wet by Felicitas' tears, which would be a good omen.
02:40The Hacienda San José, located in the district of Carmen in Chincha, Peru, is one of the
02:57most emblematic places in the region due to its history linked to slavery and the legends
03:04that surround it. Built in 1688 by the Muñatones and Salazar family, this hacienda was one
03:11of the largest cotton and sugar production centers in the country, using slave labor
03:18brought from Africa. By the 18th century, the hacienda housed hundreds of slaves who
03:24worked in inhumane conditions. One of the darkest aspects of the hacienda is the existence
03:42of a vast system of underground tunnels, more than 34 kilometers, connecting the hacienda
03:49with the port. These tunnels were used for the illegal trafficking of slaves, and it
03:54is said that, due to the bad conditions, many died and their bodies were abandoned
04:00in the tunnels. Several tragic and historical events of the time have fed stories of ghosts
04:07and souls in pain that supposedly wander through the tunnels and the hacienda to this day.
04:13Visitors report having seen ghostly figures and heard screams in the corridors
04:19and underground tunnels.
04:21The Lady of the Mill. The legend of the Lady of the Mill originates in Namiquipa, Chihuahua,
04:28and is related to the indigenous tribe of the Conchos, who inhabited that region before
04:33being invaded by the Spaniards. The protagonist of this story is Margarita, an indigenous woman
04:40who was baptized with that name by the evangelizers, and who was in love with a young man
04:47of her tribe named Marcos.
04:49His name comes from the fact that they lived, collected and hunted on the banks of the Conchos River,
04:56the main river of the entity.
04:58For his part, a Spanish soldier, Rogelio, became obsessed with her. Rogelio deceived
05:03Marcos to accompany him on an expedition, and when he returned alone, Margarita suspected
05:09that he had killed him. She swore to wait for him forever. Rogelio, enraged by Margarita's
05:14constant abuse, finally abused her. Margarita threw herself into the river, taking her life.
05:21Since then, her spirit has appeared in the area, terrorizing those who see her, although
05:27some say that she also protects certain people.
05:31She is mostly a barefoot woman, dressed in white, who appears throughout this area.
05:41Don Juan Manuel.
05:43However, it is said that in those windows that you can see between open and a little broken,
05:49you can see the passage of a presence constantly.
05:52The legend of Don Juan Manuel revolves around a wealthy and powerful man who arrived in Mexico
05:57in 1612. Frustrated by not being able to have a child, he decided to enter the convent of San Francisco.
06:04However, while he was absent, rumors reached his ears that his wife was unfaithful to him,
06:10which led him to a state of despair. In his desire for revenge, he made a pact with the devil
06:16to discover the alleged lover, with the condition of killing the first man he saw every night at 11.
06:23The devil himself told him that at 11 at night he would pass outside his house and the alleged lover
06:27of his wife. Taking this into account, Manuel killed whoever passed by his house at that time,
06:31in order to try to eliminate that alleged lover.
06:34Juan Manuel continued to murder innocents until, blinded by his fury, he killed his own nephew.
06:40Realizing what he had done, he sought redemption, but one morning he appeared dead under mysterious circumstances
06:47in October 1641, after fulfilling a penance imposed by a monk.
06:54Since then, his spirit continues to wander the Uruguayan street, where he asks the hour
06:59to whom they cross paths with him.
07:01The Strangler of Tacuba
07:11Gregorio Cárdenas, known as Goyo Cárdenas, is said to have been the first serial killer in Mexico.
07:17In 1942, Goyo was arrested for the murder of four women. The victims included students
07:25and sex workers, all murdered in a short period between August and September of that year.
07:31Cárdenas, who tried to pretend to be insane, was nicknamed the Strangler of Tacuba by the press.
07:38They unearth the first body, they begin to unearth others, but they only find two more.
07:43They have to stop the search because there is a strong rain and the same rain ends up
07:50unearthing the fourth victim.
07:52To date, the residence is named the House of the Pomegranate Tree, since in that same garden
07:58grew a tree of this species, which acquired a dark fame due to its connection with crimes.
08:05The Aranberry House
08:07Returns to his home after a long day at work, but upon entering, the scene is simply terrifying,
08:14as they have deprived his wife and daughter of their lives.
08:18The legend of the Aranberry House is based on a tragic murder that occurred in 1933
08:25in Monterrey, Nuevo León, which shocked the society of the time.
08:30The victims, Doña Antonia Lozano and her daughter Florinda Montemayor, were brutally murdered during a robbery.
08:38According to the legend, the criminals were people close to the family, including Gabriel Villarreal,
08:44Doña Antonia's nephew, who was identified thanks to a parrot that repeated,
08:49Don't kill me, Gabriel, don't kill me.
08:52In the face of the aggressors' insistence to receive an answer, they made a mistake.
08:58One of their voices was recognized by the owner of the house,
09:01because he immediately learned that it was a nephew of his named Gabriel Villarreal.
09:06The murderers were captured and later executed under the escape law,
09:11which consisted of releasing them and then shooting them while they tried to flee.
09:17Over time, the house became famous for alleged paranormal events,
09:21such as screams and laments that were heard at night.
09:25Today, the Aramberri house is an emblematic site in Monterrey,
09:29inspiring books and visits from curious people.
09:34A girl possessed by the vampire committed countless murders.
09:42Tired of this, the villagers brutally killed her.
09:46The legend of Sarah Helen, known as the vampire woman,
09:50has its origin in the port of Pisco, Peru.
09:53Sarah Helen Roberts was an English woman born on March 6, 1872 in Blackburn, England.
10:01The legend says that she was accused of witchcraft and vampirism,
10:05supposedly for having a relationship with Dracula,
10:08and was sentenced to death in her country.
10:11However, her body was transferred by her husband to Pisco, where he was buried in 1913.
10:17The myth gained strength when it was claimed that Sarah had cast a curse,
10:22promising to return 80 years after her death to take revenge.
10:27This rumor generated panic in 1993,
10:30when thousands of people and international media
10:33gathered in the Pisco cemetery waiting for her resurrection.
10:38She will return to life as a vampire woman next Wednesday.
10:42The matter has divided the Pisqueños.
10:45Some think this is a joke, but others, taking precautions,
10:50have been premonition of crucifixes.
10:53However, nothing paranormal happened, and the medium gradually vanished.
10:59Sarah Helen's grave in the Pisco cemetery
11:02continues to attract curious and lovers of the paranormal.
11:06The old man in the sack.
11:08It was on Thursday, April 16, 1854, around 8.30 in the morning,
11:13when a neighbor of the Indus population noticed in the distance
11:16a small bulk that appeared in a hut on 7th Street.
11:19Little by little he began to approach only to witness a sinister discovery.
11:22Varela Pérez, known as the old man in the sack or the monster of Carrascal,
11:27is the real character behind the legend that frightens generations of children in Chile.
11:33In 1950, Varela was arrested and accused of kidnapping, abusing and murdering
11:39an 8-year-old boy in the Carrascal neighborhood of Santiago.
11:43His modus operandi, which consisted of kidnapping children and taking them in a sack,
11:48inspired the figure of the old man in the sack in popular culture,
11:52not only in his country but throughout Latin America.
11:56Measuring 1.86 meters and weighing 92 kilos, he was undoubtedly a dangerous individual.
12:04Varela, described as a grotesque-looking man,
12:07was subjected to intense interrogations before being sentenced.
12:11Forensic tests, including hair and nail samples,
12:15pointed him out as guilty, consolidating his image as one of the most feared criminals of the time.

12:38It was September 7, 1972,
12:41when various national media announced on their covers
12:45the disappearance of Rosarito Sánchez Sierra, the cannibal girl.
12:49The legend of Rosarito Sánchez Sierra, known as the cannibal girl of the Takubaya subway,
12:55is one of the most terrifying stories that circulate in Mexico City.
13:00It is said that Rosarito was only 8 years old
13:04when he got lost in the labyrinthine tunnels of the subway in the early 70s.
13:09Desperate and without access to food,
13:12the girl supposedly enters the depths of the subway
13:16and in an act of disturbing survival,
13:19Rosarito found the corpse of an indigent
13:22who, seeing that the rats were devouring him, decided to do the same.
13:26Then the girl, from that time,
13:28who began to stay there inside the subway,
13:31imitated this cannibal part of the rats,
13:33so she began to feed over time
13:36and began to have this part of cannibalism.
13:39Finally, on September 22,
13:41the authorities found the girl in a lamentable state,
13:45hidden in the tunnels of the Takubaya station.
13:48According to witnesses, Rosarito confessed to having murdered an indigent
13:52to eat him and told the horrors he lived in the subway.
13:56Despite his confession, the legend adds that he was not taken to prison,

14:09without having re-inserted himself in society.
