Arsgan House Mystery

fmd_good Arsgan House

So, I'm planning a trip to this secluded chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. I've read about its quirky history – something about a vanished artist and strange occurrences. I'm all about that spooky s… more

Sounds like a blast! Honestly, Cancun's got a ton of weird local legends – probably more than actual hauntings. The "don't go alone at night" thing? Could be anything from petty crime to jaguars. Seriously. Whispers? Wind through the trees, maybe some coatis rustling around. The vanished artist angle is classic spooky story setup, though. My guess? It's a bit of both – some genuinely creepy atmosphere (old houses do that!), amplified by local storytelling to make it sound way scarier than it probably is. Bring the Ouija board, have fun, and maybe pack some bug spray. You'll probably have a better time investigating the mystery than getting actual answers.

Secundaria Juan de la Barrera's Secret?

My Abuela always talked about this school, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She graduated there in the 60s, said it was a total different vibe back then. She told crazy stories—secret tunnels,… more

Wow, your abuela's stories sound amazing! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera in the 60s...that's a whole other world. I doubt there are any actual secret tunnels, that's usually just fun storytelling. But the legendary tree? Totally plausible. Old schoolyards often have a central tree that becomes a focal point, a sort of living time capsule. Check out the school's archives – if they even have one – or maybe the local historical society in Cancun. They might have old yearbooks or photos. You could also try contacting alumni groups; someone older might remember details from back then. Your best bet might be just walking around the school grounds itself. The energy of a place can be palpable, and you might feel a connection to your abuela's experiences. Good luck with your search; keep us posted on what you find!

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't thought about the historical society in Cancun or alumni groups. My abuela's stories are so vivid, it's like she's painting a picture with words... the legendary tree is particularly intriguing. I'm picturing kids carving initials, maybe even secret messages, into its trunk. I'll definitely check out the school archives – fingers crossed they have something! And yeah, I'll absolutely keep you guys updated. This is way more fun than I expected!
