La Pascualita: The Corpse Bride of Mexico
La Pascualita is a bridal mannequin that has “lived” in a store window in Chihuahua, Mexico for the past 75 years. According to urban legend, La Pascualita isn’t a dummy at all, but the perfectly preserved corpse of the previous owner’s daughter.
La Pascualita was first installed in 1930, dressed in a spring-seasonal bridal gown. People simply could not tear their sight away from this new mannequin, with the wide-set glass eyes, real hair and blushing skin tone. They realized that the mannequin closely resembled the shop’s owner at the time, Pascuala Esparza. It didn’t take long for them to come to the conclusion that the dummy was in fact the embalmed body of her daughter, who had died recently on her wedding day [and] By the time Pascuala could issue an official statement denying the rumors, nobody was willing to believer her.
Of course, the speculated presence of a corpse must naturally be accompanied by supernatural happenings. Several odd incidents have been reported. It is said that a love-sick French magician would arrive at night and magically bring it to life, taking her out to town. A few others believe that her gaze shifts and follows them around the store. At night, she is also believed to shift positions in the window.
Sonia Burciaga, a shop worker says, “Every time I go near Pascualita my hands break out in a sweat. Her hands are very realistic and she even has varicose veins on her legs. I believe she’s a real person.”

Afraid Of Thunderstorms
Another entry in the weird grave archive…
Florence Irene Ford (Sept 3, 1861 - Oct 30, 1871) died of yellow fever. Her family was distraught over her death, but her mother was especially devistated. She had a special coffin constructed for her daughter that had a glass window to display her body. Furthermore, when the grave was dug, Mrs. Ford had a set of concrete steps constructed so that she could descend them and look into the grave through a special glass windown that she had the workmen install. Because her daughter was terrified of thunderstorms, every time it would rain Mrs. Ford would descend the stairs and sit there by her daughter’s coffin, separated only by the thin glass wall. After the mother’s death, the glass wall was covered by concrete to prevent vandalism, but today you can still descend the steps to Florence’s grave.
NYPD cops shot and killed an innocent man they mistook as the robber
Recently I saw an ad on tv for recruiting new NYPD officers. That ad kept me on edge because it will only attract the wrong people, especially those who are trigger happy. Also those who enjoy power and a badge. Not all cops are bad, but I believe that cops don’t receive enough training .
We don’t need to live in a police state If we had more jobs, better laws(non-racist laws) and better schools, crime will dwindle as a result.
an all time low , super low point. It feels like we are in a third world country , wait we are getting there...
How can anyone enact this order?
