Lover of legends and horror stories? These are the haunted places in Monterrey that only the bravest regios know and dare to visit.
The beautiful capital of the state of Nuevo Leon was founded on September 20, 1596. Such an old place is no surprise that it has several haunted gems. Here are a few that are full of legends and ghost stories that you can visit.
1. The House of the Tubes
The legend of this house with a peculiar architectural style tells that it was a gift from a father to his daughter who suffered from paralysis and could not walk. The house has this shape because it was intended so that the girl could move freely in her wheelchair.
However, since its construction, strange things began to happen, and the masons and builders commented that as they progressed with the work, they felt that they were being watched and some of the tools disappeared and appeared in impossible places.
When they finished the top floor, a bricklayer was thrown out of one of the windows and died. Construction stopped to investigate the cause of death, which was determined to be “Accidental Death”.
Shortly thereafter, construction resumed and when the father took his daughter to see his house, on one of the tours of the mansion, the girl slipped down one of the ramps and was thrown out of one of the windows and died instantly.
Shortly after the girl’s death, the father also took his own life in this place. People who have visited the house have claimed to have witnessed poltergeist cases in the place.
2. The House of Aramberri
This historic downtown house located at number 1026 between Diego de Montemayor and Manuel Doblado is one of the most famous haunted places in Monterrey.
The story goes that in 1933 a group of delinquents entered the house and cruelly murdered two women who lived there. Among the group of criminals was the nephew of the owners, and they killed a mother and her daughter to rob the house and flee with the belongings.
The city of Monterrey was shocked by such a savage crime and soon after gave rise to legends of ghosts and terror. People claim that if you enter during the day, you feel a very strong energy that crushes you to the floor, and if you enter at night the sensation is even stronger. Psychophonies have also been captured and the house is highly sought after for witchcraft and Satanism rituals.
Now the mythical house will open its doors to the public as a restaurant and themed museum. You can eat delicious hamburgers in the original furniture of the house and walk through the different rooms of the place. Do you dare to eat in one of the haunted places in Monterrey?

Located in the desert of Mina, one hour from downtown Monterrey, is the Ex Hacienda del Muerto.
This place has many legends, but people claim that a father appears at midnight coming out of the chapel and dozens of witnesses have seen him.

4. The Bishopric
The Obispado area in Monterrey was the scene of the Battle of Monterrey, a battle that took place during the Mexican-American War in 1846.
Many houses, establishments and the Obispado Museum were built over a mass grave, and legend has it that the cries of the souls in pain who died in the war can still be heard.
5. Fundidora Park
Many know that multiple tragedies were recorded when the Fundidora was still active, but undoubtedly the most famous was the one that happened on November 20, 1917, when a burning steel pot, at a temperature of 1,600 degrees Celsius, mortally sprayed a group of 17 employees.
There are several stories that claim that ghosts of miners and workers haunt the night because of this tragic event.
There is also the legend of a little girl who appears in a white dress, which has been photographed more than once in the facilities of Monterrey’s most famous park.
