Ghost towns are so fun to explore. Why are they called ghost towns? Because there's ghosts of course! And not very many people visit our little ghost town here, according to some people, well, just one person in particular. More on that in the comment section. :)
The best virtual ghost town! Spooky!
And this lovely gem of a ghost town. Looks inviting!
My friends south of the border say that many there are superstitious because strange things happen in Mexico. I’m sure the man who opened fire on the poor woman was frightened and thought it was a real entity though I fail to see what good bullets are against one.

A woman was reportedly
shot dead after her prank dressing as a ghost to spook her neighbors went
horrifically wrong.
The unidentified victim,
said to be aged between 20 and 25 years old, was roaming the streets
in Naucalpan de Juarez, Mexico, wearing a white gown and veil.
She donned the scary get

October 15.
The woman had dressed up
as the Weeping Woman, known as ‘La Llorona’ in Latin America, a ghost who
is said to walk the streets mourning her dead children.
According to folklore,
the terrifying figure walks the earth in despair after drowning her two
children in a river in a fit of rage after seeing her husband with another
woman.
Locals said they saw the
ghostly woman prowling the area on October 15 while shouting “ay mis
hijos” meaning “oh my children”.
One resident filmed the
woman’s antics just moments before she was reportedly shot dead with
several bullets by a scared neighbor.
According to local
reports, the spooked shooter fled after opening fire at the woman.

not revealed the victim’s identity and no arrests have been reported in
connection with the shooting.

reportedly launched an investigation into the shocking incident.
It comes as thousands
gear up for Day of the Dead celebrations across Mexico and Halloween.
The video of
the Weeping Woman has since been shared across social media as well as a
gruesome images allegedly showing the victim.
Children are often told
the terrifying tale in a bid to encourage them not to wander off after dark.

The recent decision by the city council of Christchurch, New Zealand to drop Ian Brackenbury Channell from its payroll is reportedly getting attention for the controversy it's causing. Better known as the Wizard of Christchurch, Brackenbury Channell is a local personality, popular with tourists and residents, who's become a fixture at the city's Arts Centre, public events, and even political demonstrations. Instantly recognizable for his long beard, robe, pointed hat, and ornately carved stave, the Wizard's been getting payments from Christchurch for over twenty years as a kind of living work of art with promotional value for the city.
So far, the Wizard's reaction to the bad news hasn't involved any vengeful spells or sorcery—but he's had plenty to say about the decision. He'll continue to appear in public at his usual hangouts, he stated, despite falling out of favor with the "bureaucrats who have no imagination" who declined to renew his contract.
"They will have to kill me to stop me," Brackenbury Channell vowed.
What is your favorite day of the week?

Hollywood
actor William Shatner has become the oldest person to go to space as he blasted
off aboard the Blue Origin sub-orbital capsule.
The 90-year-old, who played
Captain James T Kirk in the Star Trek films and TV series, took off from the
Texas desert with three other individuals.
Mr Shatner's trip on the
rocket system - developed by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos - lasted about 10
minutes.
The craft safely landed
just after 10:00 local time (16:00 BST).
Those aboard got to
experience a short period of weightlessness as they climbed to a maximum
altitude just above 100km (60 miles). From there they were able to see the
curvature of the Earth through the capsule's big windows.
"Everybody in the
world needs to do this," the Canadian actor told Mr Bezos after landing
back on Earth. "It was unbelievable."
If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask?
Assuming the judge does not dismiss the case in its entirety and the plaintiff does in fact win, will fortune tellers need malpractice insurance?
