Mysterious smells and black spots appeared in the house, hundreds of flies abounded in the forbidden room despite being winter. George started waking up every morning at 3:15, at which time the DeFeo family died. One of the nights George, upon waking, saw his wife’s face turn into that of a witch.
The family tried to fix the problem in their own hands. with a crucifix, they walked the whole house reciting the Lord’s prayer, a chorus of voices exploded in response, asking: “Are they going to stop?” That was the last night… The worst. The Lutz grabbed some of their belongings and they left the house, while invisible beings hit and pushed the furniture of the house.

¿Would you dare to sleep in The Myrtle plantation?
After death arrived in her life, taking away her beloved husband when he became ill with Tuberculosis and her only daughter when she had a childhood illness, Sarah Winchester was completely alone, so seeking help and comfort she went with a medium, who told her that a curse had fallen on her family and that the next victim to lost the life was herself.
The Winchester House
Although the curse couldn´t be destroyed, the medium told Sarah that if she wanted to stay alive, she would have to move to a new house, a house she would have to build for the spirits without ever finishing it, from 1884 to 1922, there was no day that something was not being built in the Winchester house.

The Winchester house was made to please the spirits at their will, since many of the ideas of the constructions were given by the same spirits; some adaptations of the house so that the ghosts were happy, it was that a lot of light was needed so that the spirits did not feel overwhelmed because they couldn’t show their own shadow.
Another adaptation of the Winchester house is that there were almost no mirrors, since spirits hate mirrors because their reflection makes them disappear.
It isn´t known if it is by coincidence or by choice but the number 13 seems to be very important in the Winchester mansion, since there are 13 stairs with 13 steps, 13 hooks in Sarah’s closet, 13 bathrooms and candle holders for 13 candles.
Sarah’s will was divided into 13 parts. In honor of that mysterious 13, every time there is a Friday the 13th, the bells are played 13 times at 1:00 p.m. (13:00)

Learn the story of Marie Laveau “The Queen of Voodoo”, and the legend regarding her grave …
In 1794, Marie Laveau was born in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a woman who, despite being a Catholic, witchcraft was always part of her life, because the city’s African slaves were voodoo practitioners.
She was a hairdresser for the women of high society, to whom she sold gray-gray, they were rituals and / or charms to do magic; Marie mixed Voodoo with Catholicism, as she used saints and sacred objects to perform her rituals.
Marie became rich, because her spells and love potions were guarantee.
It´s said that Marie Laveau was the queen of the voodoo queens. Her spells were so powerful that people with a lot of power came to her.
Since the Voodoo priestess passed away, she rests in the cemetery of Saint Louis, the oldest in New Orleans, where a legend was born …
St. Louis Cemetary
It´s said that from the beyond Marie Laveau continues to grant magical favors to her visitors, so the tomb is the most visited in the cemetery, and the second most visited in the country.
Devotees invoke the spirit of the voodoo queen to ask for miracles; previously they did it by offering and scratching crosses on her grave, so it had to be restored and currently it´s forbidden to perform rituals that deteriorate the historical monument.
In fact, now you cannot enter the cemetery by yourself, you have to take a tour with an authorized guide, who will take you to the tomb of Marie Laveau and other places of interest.
And although it´s most likely that the remains of Marie Laveau rest in her grave, there is another legend, which tells that she is still alive and young, and can be seen roaming the streets of New Orleans.
Conoce la historia de Marie Laveau “la Reina del Vudú”, y la leyenda respecto a su tumba…
En 1794, en el barrio Francés de Nueva Orleans nació Marie Laveau, una mujer que a pesar de ser católica, la brujería siempre fue parte de su vida, pues los esclavos africanos de la ciudad eran practicantes del vudú.
Era peluquera de las mujeres de la alta sociedad, a quienes les vendía gris-gris, que eran rituales y/o amuletos para hacer magia; Marie mezclaba el Vudú con el catolicismo, pues utilizaba a los santos y objetos sagrados para realizar sus hechizos.
Marie se volvió rica, pues sus rituales y pociones de amor eran garantía.
Se dice que Marie Laveau era la reina de las reinas del vudú. Sus hechizos eran tan poderosos, que las personas con más poder acudían a ella.
Desde que la sacerdotisa vudú pasó a mejor vida, ella reposa en el cementerio de Saint Louis, el más antiguo de Nueva Orleans, donde nació una leyenda…
St. Louis Cemetary
Se dice que desde el más allá Marie Laveau sigue otorgando favores mágicos a sus visitantes, por lo que la tumba es la más visitada del cementerio, y la segunda más visitada del país.
Los devotos invocan al espíritu de la reina del vudú para pedirle los milagros; anteriormente lo hacían mediante ofrendas y rayando cruces sobre su tumba, por lo que tuvo que ser restaurada y actualmente esta prohibido llevar a cabo rituales que deterioren el monumento histórico.
De hecho, ya no se puede entrar al cementerio por si mismo, se tiene que tomar un recorrido con un guía autorizado, que lo llevará a la tumba de Marie Laveau y otros sitios de interés.
Y aunque lo más probable es que los restos de Marie Laveau reposen en su tumba, existe otra leyenda, que cuenta que ella sigue con vida y joven, y se le puede ver rondando por las calles de Nueva Orleans.
