There's so many tales of mysterious caves on hills, especially in Mexico. Having
heard the legend of leg Lesia, the San Juan and Nayeri and Christina,
and this is a spooky stories where every story is a real legend, listen
Escucca at your own risk. According to legend, decades ago, a man
lived near the hills of San Juan Nayeri, Mexico. He was a farmer.
He took care of his land and of the animals that kept him and
his family fed. He had his cows over by the big hill, and
every evening he took them their dinner. He walked over to his cows like
he always had, only this time something was off. There was one missing
cow. He canted again just to be sure it was missing. He went
back home to grab extra food for himself. He was ready to search for
his cow all night if necessary. He walked up the hill searching. He
hadn't noticed how long he walked for, but it had been a good while.
Suddenly he came across a cave. Maybe the cow had gone in there.
He walked in and kept walking until he came out on the other side
of the cave. When he came out, he saw a small pueblo with
the beautiful church. He walked down to the town and went inside. On
the way in, he noticed an orange tree and a bench. After a
few minutes, he came back out and decided to grab a few oranges for
his wife. He made the walk back up the cliff and into the cave.
When he came out on the other side, something was wrong. There
were houses he hadn't seen before. He passed by the grassy field his cows
should have been on, but they weren't there. He got to his house
and knocked. He expected to see his child or his wife, but instead
a young man answered, a young man, maybe in his early twenties.
He asked the young man, what are you doing in my house? The
young man's stared and told him he was crazy. That's when a woman came
to the door. She was shocked. We thought you were dead. We
searched for you, no one could find you. He stared at them closely.
They looked like his wife and young son, but much older. He
told them he had only been gone overnight. He was searching for the missing
cow and went through a cave. He looked through his pockets For proof that
it hadn't been that long, he could show them the oranges he had picked
outside of that church in the town, but when he pulled them out of
his pocket, they had turned to gold. The man never found his cow,
and instead he found that years and years had passed. How much time
had he missed? How could this have happened to him? Legend tells that
every twenty fourth of June, the entrance to that very cave on the hills
of San Juan Nyaie opens itself. Just past the cave, there's a small
town with the gorgeous church. Those who enter the cave are trapped for twenty
five years, but they don't notice. They don't age the friends and family
they left behind do. Spooky Stories is written, edited and produced by me
