The well-known "Haunted House of Cholul" is the legend about an abandoned former Hacienda Henequenera belonging to the municipality of Merida, in the state of Yucatan, Mexico. It is located just 3.4 kilometers from the city of Merida, taking the Merida-Motul highway (federal highway 178), one kilometer on the access road to the Sitpach Commissary. Many tragic stories revolve around this place, as well as popular legends that have given it a spooky fame. The stories comes from the time when this hacienda was in its best time to the present day, adding to the countless traditional Yucatecan stories that are told in the region.
This legend tells that a couple of workers dedicated to the production of henequen (Agave type plant native to Yucatán) were very much in love and about to get married, but one night before the nuptial bond another worker raped the future wife. Juan, as the bride-to-be was called, found out what had happened and was so angry that he grabbed a machete and ran to cut off the assailant's head. Shortly after, the guilt did not lethim live and he decided to hang himself to take his own life. Juan's parents were well known sorcerers and when they found out about their son's death, they put a strong curse on the Hacienda and the people who lived there; hence, from that moment on, the famous curse was unleashed and to this day, wailing and screams can be heard. Such was the fame of the paranormal events that happened in the Hacienda that many groups of witches, satanic groups and curious people wanted to enter to investigate, and it is said that there is so much activity that people suspect that a portal to hell was left open, because even in one of the entrances you can see a star with 5 peaks and a sign that says: Welcome Satan.Written by: Victor Villalvazo
