The Guadalupe’s “Witch”

Hello, everyone! Today’s blog post is going to be about an old story that was seen on January 16, 2004. This story started to be announced in several tv news like in “Primer Impacto” or in “Las Noticias” and it was about a police officer, called Leonardo Samaniego, who said that he saw a “witch” while he was making his vigilance routine on a street in Guadalupe, Nuevo León.  He said that he saw a woman who was floating in the air and that she was trying to cover her face with the lights of the patrol car. Then, several minutes ago, he said that the “witch” tried to grab him but he skipped her by taking in reverse his car and he ran away.

He also stated that, when he finally ran away from the “witch”, he fainted and he also said that, minutes ago, two officers and an ambulance came to help him. In the article where I saw this story, which is called “Mexican Policeman Attacked by A Flying Humanoid Entity”, mentioned that this officer went to the hospital and doctors said that he was healthy in a physical and psychological way, something that worried authorities and to the community but then they started to think that the officer saw this because of stress and an excess of work. Several years later, other people started to say that they also saw that “strange” object in the sky.

Well, with this story we can see how our society still thinks and talks about this topics. Magic and strange phenomena are part of our culture but, in my opinion, I don’t believe in them. What about you? Do you believe in “witches”?
