Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Mexico, Volume 1: La Planchada and El Charro Negro
Episode notes
About this episode
| Mexico’s supernatural traditions draw from Indigenous belief, colonial history, modern cities and stories that have traveled across generations. Volume 1 brings together legendary figures, cemetery lore, transit stories and historic properties in Mexico City, Chihuahua and Guadalajara.
The episode introduces La Planchada, the Aztec Cihuateteo, La Pascualita and El Charro Negro. It then visits Panteon de Belen and the Mexico City Metro, two very different public spaces where ghost stories have become part of everyday urban folklore. The final stops include El Palacio de las Vacas, La Casa de los Perros, Hospicio Cabanas and La Casa del Trebol Negro. The program presents each account within its cultural setting and avoids treating legend as settled fact, preserving both the mystery and the history behind Mexico’s haunted stories. |
