Belén Cemetery

Jalisco · Mexico · Cemetery

Guadalajara's monumental cemetery, opened in 1848, is packed with legends and hosts nightly ghost tours. Most famous is the vampire's grave: in the 19th century a blood-draining creature was allegedly hunted down by a mob who drove a wooden stake through his heart, and from that stake grew the tree that now cracks the tombstone. Here also lies Nachito, a boy so afraid of the dark that, as the story goes, he died of terror one night when the candles blew out; his grave is permanently covered with toys and sweets left by visitors. Guards and guests report children's voices, shadows among the crypts and a monk pacing the colonnades.
