© 2000 circa 1960

On the night of October 12, in a small village in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, a woman ran out of a bar where she worked and frantically started banging on doors pleading for help. A few men ran out of the bar pursuing her as she fled through the streets. Despite her advanced pregnancy and her desperate cries, no one assisted her. Instead, the men took her back to the bar, tied her up, and subsequently murdered her. From that day on, it is said that on every night of October 12, in the same neighborhood where the bar is located, a woman is heard banging on doors, desperately crying for help.
