  • Meson de Jobito Hotel in Zacatecas, Zacatecas: built in 1700, and transformed into an inn during the 1940s, it was adapted into condominiums. From 1990 to 1993, the building was transformed into what now is the current hotel.[137] Supposedly the hotel is one of the most haunted places in the country. Reported paranormal phenomena on the site included the feeling of being observed, children's voices and laughter, the same invisible children jumping on the beds, the sounds of horses and objects moving by themselves. This paranormal activity is concentrated in room 107.[138][139][140]
  • Historic Center of Zacatecas in Zacatecas, Zacatecas: this World Heritage Site has many legends. One of the most popular is the legend of Calle De Las Tres Cruces, where in 1761 two lovers— named Gabriel García and Beatriz Moncada— died in tragic circumstances. The legend says that the lover's ghosts appear on this street.[141] Calle De Las Tres Cruces is on Hidalgo Avenue where it ends with Toledo Street.[142] Another legend speaks of a haunted backstreet named Callejón del Indio Triste where Xolotl, one of the last leaders of the Chichimeca natives, died in the 1550s.[143] Another alleged haunted backstreet is known as Callejón del Mono Prieto, where according to legend, in the 17th century a woman named Marciana Castillo died there. People believed that she practiced witchcraft and that she was responsible for a child's disappearance and the death of the same child's mother, and therefore she lived alone during her last days; she was burned alive when her house caught fire.[144]

If there's no one who can or will pay the fee, they dig the body up and prop him or her in the adjoining "museum" where they then charge tourists to come in and look. The dry climate and properties of the soil mummify the corpses, and thus - instant museum show!

She's located in the Catedral de la Asunción de María Santísima, which is commonly called simply the Guadalajara Cathedral in English... According to one legend, the girl was stabbed to death in Mexico in the 1700s by her father, who, disapproving of her interest in Catholicism, was enraged when she received the Eucharist without his permission. After the father disappeared, neighbors found the girl's body and carried it — still wearing the white dress she'd worn for the religious service — to the cathedral, where it remains to this day... Santa Inocencia gained more fame around the globe when, in 2012, a visitor posted a video on YouTube that supposedly showed the little girl opening her eyes.

As such, thieves needed a place to store all that money. Luckily for them there was this huge crater in the middle of the desert, full of caves and very difficult to access. So they stashed their treasures inside La Joya Honda... La Joya Honda has been the source of legends and mystery ever since, and people in the nearby communities have passed down stories for generations. According to legend, the crater has not only housed bandits, but is also a place where witches can be sighted some nights, and where UFOs tend to land from time to time. The crater is 800m wide and 200m deep.

In 1778, Don Bernabé Antonio de Zepeda, a miner from Matehuala began to explore the Sierra de Catorce and discovered the outcrops of the rich Veta Grande, in which he sank the Guadalupe shaft that produced a great amount of red minerals along with abundant green and white silver... By 1920, Real de Catorce was nearly a ghost town and the trolley and train were removed Although ASARCO, in 1926, and Fresnillo, in 1937, evaluated the major vein structures, a resurgence of mining activity did not take place until 1942 when a small cyanide plant was constructed and operated for about ten years.
  108. ^ Hawkes, Logan. "Real de Catorce. Ghost town in the clouds..." Mexico Less Traveled.com. Last Planet Media. Retrieved 26 August 2015. The town was founded around 1770 after a man named Ventura Ruiz stumbled across a rich deposit of silver while searching for his lost horse... Why the silver mines are no longer a going concern is a matter of speculation. Some say the silver simply dried up. Others say the mining 'disturbs the gods', which caused much 'bad luck'. A few say the mines are haunted. One local legend has it that a ghost (the locals call him El Jergas) leads miners away from their fellow workers underground and into remote areas of the dark mines. The outcome, however, is a good one, because apparently the phantom miner is pointing the way to another vein of silver.
