The Axe of Betrayal
In Allende, Coahuila, a man named Nacho discovers his wife's infidelity with his best friend. Driven by rage, he murders his friend with an axe. The neighborhood where the crime occurred becomes known as the Barrio del Hacha, haunted by the victim's restless spirit.
We’ve all heard a ghost story or two, haven’t we? In every town, there’s always that one place you’re told never to go after dark—typically with some hair-raising tale involving a grisly murder, a wandering specter, or maybe even an inexplicable chill that creeps up your spine. In Allende, Coahuila, such a place exists. They call it El Barrio del Hacha—The Axe Neighborhood.
You see, Allende is not some sprawling metropolis with shiny buildings and posh shopping centers. It’s a modest town, where life is slower, the air thicker, and every corner holds memories of stories passed down through generations. This particular story, though, is no mere town gossip; it’s practically folklore. A dark, twisted bit of local history rooted in suspicion, betrayal, and the sharp end of an axe.
