I'm Christina and this is Espuki stories, where every story is based on real

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:19,879
events. Listen Escuchia at your own
risk. MIGUELI D'lgorcostia is known as the

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,079
father of the nation Il pare de
la Patria in Mexico. He was a

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,960
Catholic priest and a leader during the
Mexican War of Independence. He's also set

5
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:33,399
to hunt the streets of Chihuahua,
Mexico. On September sixteenth, eighteen ten,

6
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:39,079
he gave the cry of Dolores el
Grito Dependencia, a speech urging the

7
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:43,200
people to revolt. He then ordered
the rinking of the church bell as a

8
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,320
call to arms. He lared troops
as a war waged on, but was

9
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,679
captured on March twenty one, eighteen
eleven and taken to Chihuahua. He was

10
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:57,320
then turned over to Durango on the
twenty seventh of July, then excommunicated and

11
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,000
tortured. He was to be executed
on the thirtieth of July, and their

12
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:06,719
several theories on how that happened.
The one most agree on is death by

13
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,439
firing squad. Before this happened,
he thanked his prison guards for their kind

14
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,840
treatment and then stated though I may
die, I shall be remembered forever.

15
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:22,079
You all will soon be forgotten.
After he was killed, he was decapitated

16
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,599
and put on display in Guanajuato.
While his head was on display, locals

17
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,840
claimed to hear him screaming during the
night. His body remained that way for

18
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:37,840
ten years. His remains were then
buried at the Church of Saint Francis in

19
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,840
Chihuahua and then transferred to see That
Mexico in eighteen twenty four to this day,

20
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,640
in Chihuahua, on the corner of
Gayesiete and Juarez, after the moon

21
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,280
is out and most people are asleep, many see the ghost of a headless

22
00:01:53,319 --> 00:02:00,239
priest. It can be seen walking
and then disappearing into the shadows. It's

23
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:06,560
believed that this is the ghost of
Miguel. Others have seen his full apparition

24
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:10,759
all over Mexico on the sixteenth,
giving the cry of Flores once again,

25
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:23,439
but in death. Spooky Stories is
