The town of Xochimilco is located in southern Mexico City, and is known for its canals. The canals, built by the Aztecs, are much like what you would find in Venice, Italy. They provide water transport where visitors can take gondola-like boats to see the sights. Not only will you find sightseers, but there are also food vendors, artisans, and mariachi boats that travel the canals. Xochimilco is a fun and festive town, but is also home to an island – a haunted island. No visit to Xochimilco is complete without a trip to La Isla de las Muñecas, The Island of the Dolls.

In the 1980’s, cell phones weren’t a thing. People used land lines, and wrote letters. Truckers had CB Radios, but those were basically fancy walkie-talkies. So when 60 year old trucker Herbert Donoho disappeared on August 30, 1983, there really wasn’t a good way to track down his whereabouts. After all, he was supposed to be heading to Wheat Ridge Colorado for lunch with friends, not in Stratton at the McCormick farm.

While the name may sound made up, I assure you the tale is anything but. In Chicago, Illinois, on the south side of the 1700 block of West Diversey Parkway, you will find residential condominiums.

When someone dies, they leave this world, and depending on your beliefs they either move on, or are just gone. While all deaths are tragic, there are some that hit harder than others, such as murder or suicide. Some people die having left something unfinished. Often, we hear of the dead with unfinished business returning as ghosts. The concept of the dead returning as zombies is also well known. Though these cases lean more towards virus outbreak, or other direct means. There is one belief, born from Scandinavian Viking folklore, that combines the ghost and the zombie into a single entity. The gjenganger.

Dracula, king of all vampires, first of his kind, was just a man. The story, written by Bram Stoker (Author of Bram Stoker’s Dracula), took the legacy of a man, and made it the basis for his book. A story that has spanned the ages. The man was Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad the Impaler, and he once ruled over Wallachia. The horrors of his rule are remembered to this day. When we think of Vlad Tepes, we think of Transylvania and Dracula’s castle, and while he did have a castle, he also had a fortress. Poenari Fortress, also called Poenari Castle, or Castle Arges is believed by some to be haunted.
