## Resource

In this episode of Tales of the Night, we explore true horror stories related to Santa Muerte, witchcraft, and curses. A young man who moves into an old house in the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood begins to experience strange occurrences after discovering a Santa Muerte altar in his neighbors' room. What seemed like a simple annoyance soon becomes something much more disturbing: dirty hair appearing on his bed, an apple full of pins in the kitchen, and a presence watching him every night as he sleeps. Throughout the episode, we'll hear other stories where witchcraft, threats, and rituals seem to cross the line from the everyday, leaving a difficult question to ignore: how real can these practices really be? Horror stories based on personal experiences, told directly and without exaggeration, as if someone close to you were telling them. Turn off the lights… and let yourself be carried away.
