“The witches of Naica”
In the north of the country, in a small town in the State of Chihuahua named Naica, at 10:30 p.m. sharp, all the residents must already be inside their houses, with doors and windows closed, because the famous witches come out of the mines in the form of fireballs to look for girls and young people with the intention of turning them into one of them. The most well-known story is that of Monserrat, a young woman barely 16 years old who, in an effort to help her parents, worked with the town baker; One night "Monse" as she was known, after work she decided to go to the lake to admire how beautiful the reflection of the moon looked.
Time passed and the church bells began to ring, as they served to alert the population so that everyone was already inside their homes. That cold night Monse could not escape from the famous witches of Naica, because they came to her to bite her until she lost consciousness... the sweet young woman had already become one of them.
As much as all the residents searched for the girl, they could not find her, it was until a long time later that some people claimed to have seen her in the lake, however her beauty had disappeared and now she was an ugly, deformed and macabre woman.
Huichapan is a magical town in the state of Hidalgo, but it is also the place where, it is said, several women dedicated to covens and rituals inhabited. In the day you can find many women walking the streets. They look normal, like any human. However, when the stars come out on the hill of Coatépetl something sinister happens.
They say that black magic is still practiced on that hill at night, especially in the light of the moon. The eyes are gouged out, the legs and arms are cut off as an offering. Many take the shape of a turkey at night, but with the first ray of the sun, they shed their skin and become women again.
Many do not even think of pronouncing the word "witch" on Fridays and, strangely, there are those who protect the entrances to their houses with grain salt or open scissors so that witches do not steal children.
