The Witch of Aculco

The Witch of Aculco😱

In the State of Mexico, in the municipality of Aculco, the cold seeps into the bones.  The mornings are covered with a layer of fog.  Between waterfalls, rocks, rivers and cobbled streets where white quarry houses were built, chilling events take place.  One of them proclaims that there are spirits that do not want to leave Aculco and souls locked in the trees.  The most chilling story is that of a woman with dark skin and black hair who, despite her beauty, no one approached her, because there was something strange about her.  People said that she was an unreliable person and a practitioner of black magic.  Time passed and no one approached the woman, she wanted to be a mother, the years passed and hope was gone.

So she decided to summon evil entities to grant her the wish of being a mother.  However, the only thing that grew in her was her hatred.  One day, desperate, she made a deal with the devil and, shortly after, they began to disappear in the town of Aculco.  The people confronted the woman, but all they saw was a huge tree in the middle of her house.  To the surprise, the tree was the witch herself, along with the soul of the missing children.

The inhabitants of the town began to machete the tree, but a macabre voice confessed what had happened.  Since then, the tree remains intact.  There is no shortage of those who say that if you cut a piece of the trunk, a white sap will come out and after a few minutes it will turn red like blood.  It is said that children can still be heard screaming.

The government of the municipality of Aculco carries out a tour of legends through this Magical Town, so if you go to the site, we recommend you ask for information at the town hall to obtain more information.
