Mexico’s hauntings blur curses, spirits and alien encounters
Encounters x356 - Hauntings in Mexico | Folklore, Spirits & Aliens
The episode treats folklore, family testimony and unexplained recordings as competing ways to interpret frightening experiences across Mexico and beyond.
- 1A Tijuana family links a violent haunting to Santeria, hidden objects and a curse that ends after ritual intervention.
- 2Stories from Durango and Jalisco connect restless dead, buried money and inherited supernatural danger to contested family land.
- 3A remote farmhouse, an uncanny clown and a river recording push the episode from folklore toward possible alien and animal explanations.
Don't miss
The hosts play a river recording that appears to capture women crying, a guttural voice and barking dogs, without resolving its source.
The brief
Sabrina and Corinne open this Mexico-themed Encounters installment with a Tijuana haunting involving swarms of flies, moving chairs, sleep-talking and a suspected Santeria curse.
The family’s haunting reportedly eases after an aura reader helps uncover and burn hidden objects, leaving the hosts weighing spiritual intervention against coincidence and suggestion.
Longer accounts widen the pattern: a ghost seeking her burial place, cursed land in Jalisco, haunted furniture and black hands choking a child all tie fear to family history.
A strange hut, coded notes and an uncanny clown lead into a brother’s alleged alien surveillance at a Colorado farmhouse, where evidence and memories seem to vanish.
The closing recording near a river sounds like multiple women crying before a deep voice appears; the hosts debate animal noise versus something supernatural.
