I noticed that in my last few posts, I have been blogging about family ghost stories. Since this is my last one, I decided to do it on one of my mom's experiences. She was a non-believer, but this was the story that changed her life.
My mom lived in Nuevo Leon as a young girl. She lived near the woods and she would often go get wood for fires on her own. Her parents warned her not to go too far late at night because supernatural things happen most at that time. When my mom heard this, she wanted to show how courageous she was.
When it was midnight, she dared herself to walk for 15 whole minutes into the deep parts of the woods, alone. The first five minutes, nothing happened. Only the occasional branch moving and animal sounds seem to be the only thing to spook her. After ten minutes, she decided that everything her parents were saying was not true. In the last five minutes, she became to grow tired.
On her way back home, she decided to take a different route to a river so she could drink water. When she got closer, she could see women around the age of 25 going into the water. She saw her get a rock and start to hit her own knees. My mom yelled for her to stop. The lady turned around to see her, paused, and quickly disappeared.

Mommy, I see ghosts...
I have always heard that children have a special connection with the supernatural. Since they are completely innocent, they can see what most of us can't. Some think it's a curse, others think it is a gift, but most think that it is creepy! I thought it was something pretty cool, so when my nephew was 3 years old, I would follow him to see if he stares at something.
Sadly, nothing out of the ordinary happened. I finally gave up, but I should have never pursued it in the first place. My nephew may have not have seen a ghost, but someone I least expected to did. This was all when I was 12 years of age, and since then, I tend not to be next to any kids for a long period of time.
I was at my aunt's house one day, and I was helping her take care of her 4 year old daughter. When I was playing with her outside, she kept staring at me. She looked confused and then began to laugh. I thought she was laughing at me, but I soon noticed her eyes following something else. No one else was there except for me.
I asked her what was so funny. She said that the little boy was making her laugh. I instantly froze and refused to look. When we went inside, I told my aunt what happened and asked if it was just an imaginary friend. She told me that the owners before her had a small boy who had died.

La Lechuza
Every time I am outside, I remember not to whistle. If I whistle late at night, I would get snatched. This piece of information has been engraved to my brain by my mother. Since I was a little girl, my mother would warn me about a creature that makes noises late at night, and if you whistle back, it will take you and kill you. I make sure to keep my mouth shut to prevent "La Lechuza" from taking me.
La Lechuza is a creature that is very well known in Mexico and in Texas. There are different stories of how La Lechuza came to be, but the most common one takes place in Mexico. She was killed by the men in her town who feared she was a witch. Soon after her death, a large owl would start appearing at night snatching the men who killed her.
My mom told me a story of her own about La Lechuza. In a small town in Mexico, there were two cops who were surveilling the town near the woods. They heard strange noises coming from a tree near them. One cop went to go see what it was, but he stopped hearing the strange noises, so he whistled to get a response. He started walking away, when suddenly a huge owl flew over him. He fell and shot the owl on her right wing and it flew away.
The next day, the cop was driving around town. He soon stopped when he noticed a young beautiful lady heading to the woods. As he looked closely, he saw she had a white band, stained with blood on her right arm. Frightened that she would see him, he drove away and never dared to go near the woods again.
If you're out late at night, and you happen to hear a noise coming from nowhere. Whatever you do, don't whistle back.
