I then that was my bad. But you know, one

Any of those are fine. We love receiving them, and
we're actually gonna listen to one today. I finally pulled
up the voicemails. This Spookie hotline.
Speaker 2: Well, that Spooky Tale my m o kyo, so I
owned photography Plato, not the uh E today Arlington. That's
where the story takes twice to day. I always had pookie.
Stuff happened to me, but I grew up in a
Christian household, so it wasn't really it wasn't really validated.
You know, I'm not Christian anymore. So looking back on
these experiences, I'm like, my probably definitely haunted. Like that
would fall from the.
Speaker 3: What that would fall from my brother's closet, like board
games and stuff all at once, not just like one
at a time, but well sometimes there was one at time,
but they would all remember other than there. One time
they all came down at once. I'm like, oh, right
out there and the floor is creating vegeta. That was
the wooden moving. But now they know if you avoid
in the floor, stool creeks. I'm like, what, I'm pretty
sure I fellow ghost to my dog there too, anyway,
and then a ghost rashly a alien story. Yeah, I
was driving back with my mom from a volleyball game
that I was announcing. I was in high school and
didn't have a car, so she had to drive me.
But yeah, that's embarrassing, but I uh, we were in
the car and our stop sign I was from the
radio going off, and my mom's like, I came up
the car. I'm like, that's weird. I'm like when I
look outside and so I look up and I you know,
stars are out last night, I see one started kind
of moving and getting closer and getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, I'd feed the big zagging
and I'm like, oh my god, Mom look at this like,
oh my god, I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: Was old one.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it dig zagged away and then just like that,
it was gone, and then the car started working again
and we went on our way. That's my spooky tale.
Thank you so much for taking my time, and Michael,
I love your podcast.
Speaker 1: Wait, I kind of love how we told that. No,
for real, I love how you told us that story.
Thank you so much for leaving it in a voicemail. Honestly,
that was the best way to receive this story. It was.
It was really was. I don't think there could have
been a better delivery. I don't know, I really don't,
but yeah, I know that was a UFO for sure.
Oh yeah, funny because one of my stories from Chihuahwa
today an alien story. So that was very excited when
I found it. Okay, on today's episode, we are sharing
myths and legends from Chihuahua, and we've already done like
two of the most famous Chihuahua stories. La Pascuala, Yeah
that is Chihuahua and that was very early. Yeah she is.
And then last ye do you remember that one? Yeah? Yeah,
in the Statue episode that was were you officially a host?
Were you so guested on that episode? So it was
one of the all I know, Okay, it was, like
I said, one of the first that you were officially
the host, co host. I'm not sure you're still the
unofficial official I don't think was there though, So no,
it was just the two of us. Yeah, but yeah,
So those are probably the most well known Chihaa stories,
but like there's always more so of course, and so
we're starting with the children's cemetery. Don't like that? Just
a few meters away from Francisco Tores Boulevard, in the
middle of a modern middle class upper class middle slash
upper class neighborhood, upper middle class it's called you dump. Wow,
thank you. Let's start from the top in the middle
of a what upper middle class, upper middle class. In
the middle of upper middle class neighborhood in there's a
super hunted cemetery known as its real name is Panton Senecu,
and it dates back to just before the Mexican Revolution.
The inhabitants of this neighborhood, the people of El Vaje Dejuarees,
they couldn't make it to the municipal cemeteries like Santra Fael.
They were too far away to carry their dead loved ones,
and so they began to bury them in Senegu instead.
They just like, this is a cemetery now, when they
started burying their loved ones there. I did see another
source that said the cemetery dates back to the beginnings
of the nineteenth century and was built by the beetle
people of Senecu, and the majority of those buried are
actually adults and not children, and both can be true
either way. There are both children and adults buried there,
some say mostly children. And it's no longer an active
cemetery like in use today. It's been abandoned. It's open
to the public in the middle of this neighborhood. It
kind of looks out of place if you look it up.
I should have stream. That makes sense that it looks
like it's out of place. It does. The houses were
built like around this cemetery that was already there. It's
kind of creepy, yes, And you could see the really
nice looking houses behind, like, oh, there's no walls or
fences or like a gate, like an entry gate, you know,
like other cemeteries have. It's just there, like if it
weren't for the crosses adorning graves, it would be confused
for like a vacant lot. Well, yeah, I couldn't find
when it became abandoned. Just then, at some point it happened,
and since then people have said that it's haunted. Yeah,
the worn out tombstones, the dead grass and growing weeds,
and children's toys laying around everywhere. It gives it a
very creepy vibe. Yeah. I'll put pictures in the video
and I'll try to remember to post some on Instagram.
Those who walk by a night have heard the laughter
of children, only to turn and see no one there.
Some have even seen shadows of children playing in the
cemetery at night. They're looking up from their fancy, expensive
houses like what's up? Oh my god, I imagine you're
like in your house, look out the window. Yeah, that's
what they did. That's what happened to them. But one
of the most popular legends told about this children's cemetery
is that if you park your car outside of the
cemetery at night, leave it there, leave return, it will
be full of little handprints. Why you would try this? Like,
why would you go? I don't know, I don't know.
I don't want to know, you know what I mean. Yeah,
those who live in the surrounding neighborhoods have heard knocking
in the middle of the night and when they answer
the door, no one is there, and they think it's
the spirit of these kids. Oh wow, yes, crapy very
I wouldn't want to go check it out. No, that
was the children's cemetery. A noise, but also not right
right right next we have like sant Saminis. Yeah. So
this took place in Meoki, Chihuahua, in the middle of
the state of Chihuahua, with a population of fifty thousand.
Within the municipality, there are four hundred and sixty four
localities or pueblos if you will. These are Sida, Mejoki,
Las Ro, Cardenas, Esasion, Consuelo, Colonia, Filippe Angeles, Juadalupe, Victoria,
and Las Pents, home to the Contos or Joyi's indigenous peoples.
The city of Meyoki was named after General Mejoki Magnon,
who lost a fighting against the French in Paral in
eighteen sixty five. It's forty five minutes from Chihuawa and
like all of Chihuahua, this area did see a lot
of action during the Mexican Revolution, which is where the
legend of La Casa del Alcado comes from. According to legend,
the owner of this house was a rich man with
a lot of land, someone who benefited from the Portfiriato.
No wonder, he was a um Alcado. This became a legend.
He became a legend. Yes, And as a Mexican revolution
broke out, he decided he had to flee, but he
wasn't fast enough. The revolutionary Getta Yea arrived and he
was cornered. He decided to run to a tree on
his property and hang himself. It was better to him.
It was better than whatever faced him in the hands
of the revolutionaries. This tree is still growing and locals
are afraid to go to this abandoned house because they
say that the soul of this man will curse you
if you set foot in his former property. I'm sorry
it was not enough that he was like rich in life.
He still has a curse people in the afterlife. That's
rich people for you, right. Once cursed, you will continue
to experience the paranormal. If that doesn't scare you and
you actually go inside, then there's another curse. No curse squared. Wow,
there's a staircase inside the house. These stairs have a
bunch of names written on them, and if you step
on your name, you will die. Okay if you have
a super unique name, I think you're good. I'm not save,
I'm not save. No neither am I no? And if
you're Maria less safe j Yeah? Done. Yeah. According to legend,
you can cure the cars. Oh. To do that, you
have to hang a rope in the tree and then
wait for it to swing five times on its own
or can you like give it a nudge? No, on
its own? Okay, but others say you can't give it
as the cars at all, so well, yeh screwed? Okay,
all right then never mind, I guess and Corto don't
go to this house is what I'm getting, and summation,
don't go there. Okay, I will keep that in mind.
And it looks creepy to I'll put pictures in the
video and on Instagram maybe, okay. And our next story
is Los Monitos Meoki the Monkeys, the Little Monkeys of Meoki.
So yeah, the Tree of the Hanged Man. That's not
all that's in milky, because there's another story here that
was very popular. On October twenty seventh, nineteen eighty seven,
four children were playing and then patio of a house
located on the street Francisco in Madero in La Colonia
and Barrio Nuevo. And these kids were twelve year old
Serjio Alonso Lira Roblez, eleven year old Javier Valenzuela, and
seven year old Mario Cosme albides Espanel and his brother
his twin brother, not real twins, they were the other
kind of twins. What are they fraternal? Turn you didn't
even say, I'm like fraternal, Yes, thank you. Yes, they
were fraternal twins. So his brother was William Cosme alvides
Espanel and both were seven. Of course, William went by
WILLI on that day, they saw a red light and
then seven little beans. Oh sorry, there are five little beans,
and I wrote, no, there four for little beings. Anyway,
on that day they saw a red light and then
they saw these four little beings come out from holes
on the ground. And when they saw the red light,
they felt numb and they wanted to run, but they
couldn't move. Oh my god, one of these kids fainted,
and the rest were about to run. They were about
to leave the fainted kid there like I got their own. Yeah,
you're on your own. But they heard the monitos, the
little things, the little beings, tell them not to run,
and then they ran anyway, but they paused momentarily to
listen to these creatures. Matrio and Walie told their parents
what had happened when they got home, and of course
the parents didn't believe them. But then more and more
similar reports were coming from the children of Mioki, and
these monitos were described to be fifteen centimeters tall. What
is that like like a smurf? I don't maybe just
guessing twelve centimeters foot so yeah, yeah, so okay, something
like smurf, Like, yeah, smurf sized. They were gray, though
not blue. They had skinny arms and legs, and I
guess they were just skinny all together because their bodies
were skinny too. So yeah, they would just see these
little sticks with huge heads. Oh yeah, and they had
big red eyes lined for a nose and like no lips,
just what seemed like a slot for our mouth. Okay,
mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We could probably draw this, because I couldn't find pictures
of the kids drawings. But we'll try to draw it,
and we'll put our attempt at this on right now.
You're drying it right now. Perfect skinny arms, huge hands,
they have three fingers on each hand. Do they have
long arms? Skinny arms, yeah, just skinny arms. I don't
know how long they are. Are you ready? Let's see it? Yeah, right,
that's what the kids saw, exactly that right there. Beautiful
masterpiece there. Yeah, I love it. So yeah, that's what
they saw. Some of these beings. Actually now I'm starting
to take them. There might have been seven of them.
They all say them, how many are there? I'm not
sure anymore?
Speaker 2: Anyway?
Speaker 1: Seven four to seven actually yeah. Some of them had
blonde patches of hair, others were bald, and they had
a big red circle on their chest. And these beings
also had the ability to turn invisible when anyone tried
to take a picture of them. What and they could
speak perfect Spanish, so okay. The monitos told the children
that they were on earth to study its people and
that they liked the climate in Mioki. I don't know
what the weather is like there, but these little monitos
liked it. The beings told the children their names. The
beings told the children their names. They were sorry, this
killed me, okay. Their names were Ugo, Bancho, Gus, bud,
It's got and Crispin. Where did you get these names from?
I feel like they spent some time in Mexico and
then they were like, I want to be Buncho, I
want to be Ugle ns beIN. I think they were in.
Maybe they were, yeah, but this is what they said
their names were. And I love it. I love it.
I especially love Chrispin. Yeah me too. The children also
described the monitos as having difficulty walking, like their legs
were rigid and with three fingers on each hand. And
the kids saw or encountered these monitos several times, and
through these times they they said that they never experienced
lost time like others who have had like alleged alien
encounters have said happens with the lost time. Eventually, newspapers
of the time got a wind of the story the
kids were saying, and of the drawing they made depicting
these monitos, and so they went into town to investigate,
and they were like reporting everything, and so eventually like
a bunch of reporters like all over the world. So yeah,
there was like people from all over the world like
resharing this story. But these initial investigators figured that the
kids were lying, especially because there was no lost time,
and they were like, no, this isn't like other alien stories.
We don't believe you. But then more people reported seeing
the strange red lights in the sky, and then other
kids kept saying that they were seeing the same things
these monitos, and the original four kids that had seen
these things said that at the end of November nineteen
eighty seven, the monitos went to them and told them
that they were leaving, but that they would return later
to continue their studies planet Earth. And then the inhabitants
of Maoki they started saying that they they started saying
that NASA was sending people to Mayoki, which then spread
like wildfire, and people kept repotting. A sudden surge of
gringos in trucks in the pueblo, Oh my god. And
to them, this could only be NASA. No one else
would be there in trucks, like, yeah, all these white
people in trucks automatically NASA. A reporter for el Eraldo,
the Chiawa, who initially was the first one to arrive
to Moyoki and talk to these kids, and he's the
one who was like, no, this isn't true. He was
interviewed in two thousand and nine about this. He's like
alienstannact like this, yeah. True. He was like, I'm just
doing my job, but I never saw anything myself, And
he told the interviewee he saw no evidence that the
monitos ever existed. The only picture he was ever able
to get were the pictures of the holes in the
ground that the kids supposedly saw that alien creatures emerged from.
And he believed that this was just the kid's stories
running wild or mass hysteria. And he never saw trucks,
a surge of gringos and trucks, nor did he believe
that NASA would go and investigate this. He's like, why
where did they go? And then I was like, I
wasn't purposely spreading this story. It's just that they told
me to go investigate, and I wasting. Yeah I did.
I went and I was reporting when I was being told.
But either the kids are saying this. Yeah. And then
another witness named Dianam, who was friends with Willy, she
came forward and she said that one time Willie took
her to go see the monitos and that one of
the monitos had bit Willi And so then they went
to the clinic and the doctor there told them it
was like a spider bite or something. Others believed that
what the kids saw were actually frogs, and then their
imaginations ran wild, and especially because they had been raining
for several days in a row. And I guess that
brings frogs out. I don't know. I don't know anything
about frogs. I'm not a frog expert. Yeah, this is
just what what the source said. Either way, Mioki has
become a tourist destination because of the story. And they
have this event where you can go and paint like
a ceramic monito, and they called it something like paint
the Monito and then you see all these little painted
Monitos all over Milki. But so they look like this,
it's very close. I'll show you. I think we need
to go paint our own monitos. You know what, I think?
You're right, Yeah, you'll see these painted monitos all over Milky.
And so, like there was another resurgence of this legend
because one of the witnesses wound up dead in his
home in the like late two thousands, I want to say,
And it was Willie. He didn't live in a Milky anymore.
But when he was found there was cuts all over him,
like gold lines. Yeah, not super deep, like just a
bunch of straight lines that were strange to people. And
so he had all these lacerations on him, and then
his organs weren't missing, and they said that his blood
had been drained. And so people were like attributing this
to the aliens. Yeah, to the monitos. Wow, And that's
actually not true. That was an urban legend that was
spread about poor Willie. Can you imagine that? Wait, so
he wasn't even dead, he was dead in reality, he
was wrong than just stabbed um multiple times. I mean,
that's that sucks that he that happened to him, and
then his family had to be like hearing, probably like
neighbors being like, oh did you know, like bit she
was robbed? Okay, yeah, yeah, so his organs were intaxes.
He was not drained of his blood. Wow. Someone just
made this up and run with it. Yeah, and then
it was spread. So I want to make it clear
that that's not what happened. The money didn't come back
for WILLI, which is what was being spread. Were insinuated.
But yeah, the story of the Monitos has been attributed
to mass hysteria. But some people really, you know, they
believe something happened in Miochi. Interesting, what do you think?
I think it does? Are real? I don't believe they
came back for WILLI, but I don't believe. I don't think that. Yeah,
I believe in Google Pancho, Gispin, Crispin. Oh, Crispin. We
got the other ones. In fact, justice for them. Google Pancho,
gaspad and and Crispin. They did nothing of the sports.
They were never Yeah, they were very nice to the
four kids. Yeah, they talked to them. They were like,
where you're just study? We like the guys. Yeah, the
same names. See Pancho but yeah, those were just some
stories from Chihuaha. This would have been a longer episode,
but my ass wasn't able to make it happen. So yeah,
you know you we're not out of time. I'm thinking,
we're all. I'm thinking though of doing a Chihuahua Part
two because there's still way more stories and then does it. Yes,
we'll also do a case because there's also, unfortunately so
many true crime cases from Chihuahua, so we can do both.
We can do both for next episode. We'll rearrange our
schedule a little bit. Y'all. We are planners now, we
are organized curlies. We have a schedule. We sat down
on topics up until mid March. Mid March, can you
bel for us? No, it's huge because like sadly, what
all almost always happens is the two days before we're like,
do we have notes? Oh my god, scrambling, scrambling. Yeah,
and then once in a while we'll be like, let's
do these set of notes. And that's the big episodes
that have like a ton of parts. Those are those
ones that were actually planned, so like the Gloriabi ones,
all the like uh true crime cases in Mexico, like
those episodes were all planned and like actually not rushed.
But sometimes we're just like, yeah, we don't I don't know,
I don't know what is going on. But no, this
year we're gonna be organized. So yeah, yeah, okay, let's
uh take a little break here and then we'lc come
back with spooky recommendations and we're back. Do you have
any spooky recommendations? I don't think I do. I started
listening to a book and then for some reason, I'm
not listening to as much audiobooks. Oh well, I've been
going on walks.
Speaker 2: That's why.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's why. So the loan is about to expire,
and I don't listen into like ten percent of it.
But it seemed interesting. It was like the Call the
Devil three times, No, it was. It seemed interesting. It's
like a different timeframes, generational oh story. So I think
I'm gonna borrow it again because there was no whole
no one else got, so you can like extend it
and actually finish it. Okay, Okay. I watched Pogonia, and
it's more adjacent, spooky adjacent because it's a thriller. I
didn't even know it was a thriller. I had no
idea what it was about. Oh, all I knew is
that I mustn't shave her head. That's it, And that
jesse Plement's one of my favorite white men, was in it.
That's all I knew, dude. But it's an eco thriller,
ego ego like like, oh, I didn't know you were
calling ego or ego echo with the sea. I didn't
know it was an ego thriller. How so well, jesse
Plemon's character convinces he's like a low income bee keeper
hobbyists who works like at a what you could say
would be like an Amazon warehouse pharmacy but for like medicine. Okay,
actually Amazon does have a pharmacy, so you could say
like that, but like a pharmaceutical company's warehouse basically something
like that, where he's just packaging orders. So it's a
low income job. He and his cousin both rb keepers
and they're the only ones in this house, so they
jesse Plemon's characters that convinced that like a weird conspiracy
nut type person where all they listen to is like
people talking about reptilians and Okayans, And so he's convinced
that the ceo of his A CEO is responsible for
the bees dying, that they've released this like chemical into
the way, and like, that's partially true. You can blame Santo, yeah,
for the danger in the bees. That's that's not a lie. However,
he takes it to a whole other level. He makes
a plan with his cousin who kidnap the ceo is
a Stone. Yeah, and first you think, I thought Emma
Stone was like a baby who grew really fast. That's
all this is about. I thought, Mark, are you wait?
Are you talking about talking about? Okay, what's up? She
thought she was Benjamin Button, but reverse, Yeah, there's a
movie I thought where she Oh, shoot, do you know
what I'm talking about? About? Poor things? Oh my god.
This whole time I thought that was Bogia. And that's
why I didn't want to watch, because she was in
that movie and I can't watch that. That's why when
you said it was a thriller, I was like, that's
a thriller. Yeah, that's Emma Stone, Margaret Quayley, William Dafoe,
Mark Ruffalo, you're talking about oh my same director? Oh
that I didn't know. But okay, now it makes more sense.
Why I was confused, thought, wow, and so the deployment
is not in Pogonia. I mean he's not important things.
He isn't Pogonia. Yeah, and uh, Emma Stone is not
a baby, she's a CEO. This whole time I thought.
And I was like, I thought that was set like
in a weird time, like the other one, poor things.
Like I was like, what do you mean a corporation
a ceo? Recent. Yeah, they're so weird in that movie.
It just can't be right. No, no, no, And so yeah,
they kidnap her because they blame her for the conditions. Okay,
well not interested. Yeah, I'm watch it. Like I kept
telling you, I'm pretty sure you will like Pegonia, and
it was like, no, she's an alien, she's a baby alien.
I'm not gonna spoil more than that to everyone else.
But so yeah, I had a great time watching it.
I do feel like this would have been a fun
movie in the theaters, just because the soundtrack, the sound
design is so fun. It's like very it has very
funny moments, but it's also very dark. And so there's
parts where like Jesse Plemons is like, I don't know,
chasing her or something like that, and then the music
is like this is like very exaggerated, like I don't know,
like a string instrument. I don't know these terms, like
like imagine like bugs Bunny in the opera when he's
like that type of music is very exaggerated. But it's
so fun. So I think this would have been a
fun one to watch the movie theaters. Obviously I didn't,
but it was still very fun to watch at home,
so I do recommend it. Also again, if Jesse Plemmons
is in it, and most of the time, if Emma
Stone is in it, I will watch it. I haven't watched,
so I'm not watching that. You know what it is.
It's the way her eyebrows are done, and then movie
in her creepy long hair. I can't watch it. Yeah yeah, yeah,
it's giving the girl from the Ring. Yes, yeah, yeah,
with very thick eyebrows. But yeah. That brings us to
the end of the episode. Don't go leaving your car
