Encounters x356 - Hauntings in Mexico | Folklore, Spirits & Aliens

Mexico is bringing some seriously spooky energy to this Encounters episode. We’re sharing eerie stories rooted in Mexican folklore and family traditions, with plenty of mysterious entities, supernatural curses, and family hauntings. And just when you think things couldn’t get creepier, we’re ending with a chilling video that may make you think twice about wandering near the water after dark. Stories include: A childhood haunting in Tijuana escalates into a Santeria curse, possession, and a protective spirit who may have been keeping watch over the family. A woman repeatedly appears along a road between two Mexican ranchos, seemingly trying to return to the place where she wanted to be buried. Secondhand furniture brings something sinister into a teenager's bedroom, causing recurring sleep paralysis and unexplained activity. A bizarre encounter in the Mexican woods suggests a possible connection to the infamous Sandown Clown. A recording near a river captures what sounds like a woman's cries before shifting into something darker, with nearby dogs reacting to whatever is making the noise. Watch the video version here.
