Hi, dear readers!
Last weekend, some
friends told me an interesting, fantastic and really mysterious legend, so I
want to share it with you.
That does not
happen in Quito city, but it is located at Sangolguí in Valle de los Chillos,
next to the capital city.
Have you ever heard
or been in “El Castillo del Gringo Loco”?
At this place, it is said that more than 20 years ago there was a “gringo”,
one of those militaries who survived the Second World War and he decided to
settle in a calm place, where he could forget about the bombings and violence of
his life as a soldier. The ex-military man moved to Sangolguí to a big place
surrounded by forests, birds and a lot of vegetation. He began to build his
house, a not very common one because, it is full of entrances and exits of dark
tunnels. That makes the place a really mysterious one, and some people tells
several horror stories of the haunted place.
According to the
story, this man and his wife were waiting for a baby, but the woman lost her
child. She was shocked and traumatized by the loss and from that day she began
to have hallucinations. The neighbors say that she dreamed every night with her
baby, “the child wandered like a soul in pain through the halls of the house
and called her with his tears.”
One night, the desperate
lady got out of bed and began to chase the baby, until he got into one of the
dark tunnels. The woman followed him, but did not realize that the tunnel
through which he passed was getting narrower and narrower. When she reached the
end of the passage, she could not get out anymore and she died of suffocation.
Residents say that
now in the place wanders not only the baby’s spirit, but also of the mom.
Nobody knows what happen with the “gringo” after that day, until people realized
that he died too in the same place.
