First off, I have to say that I have not experienced any of what I am about to say, but my brother and a couple of my cousins have.

This incident took place at my Grandmother's sister's ranch which they named "El Rancho De Las Criaturas" which translates to "The Ranch Of the Little Children". At first when they told me the name I asked them if they meant if the name implied to creatures as in animals, but then I remembered that adults also called children 'criaturas'. This ranch is fairly big, and scary at night.

About 1-2 weeks ago we went up there for a family re-union. It was fun. This is the second time that me and my brother have gone to the ranch, so we don't know much of the ranch's history. That night, around 9:45 p.m. or so, right after a full days ride on the three and four wheeled atv's, I stopped with my cousin's and brother and we started to talk. All of a sudden they tell me the ranches history. They told me that by the tree where a beat down tractor is now, a lady brutally murdered about 100 hundred children. She does this before the ranch ever existed. The weird part is that at night the area surrounded by a fence in front of the house and behind a pair of trees marking the entrance to the ranch, is very warm, but upon going out of those two marker trees, it gets very cold. And the weird part is that when we were riding the motorbikes, at the top of the hill away from the trees, it gets warm and the rest is very cold until you get back to that place and it gets cold until you pass the trees. My cousin told me once that late at night they couldn't sleep 'cuz of the heat, so my grandpa decided to walk along the rock wall that they had built a while back. When my grandpa was coming back from his walk, my cousing peeked out and saw a shadow with two glowing evil red eyes walking behind my grandfather. It really freaked him out that he began a fierce prayer. He then woke up my grandmother and told her to look behind my grandpa, but she didn't see a thing.

Another incident in which my brother experieced was that that same night we all (meaning my cousins, my brother and I) all gathered on a rock by the pool and just talked. When my brother started listening to his KoRn tape that he had in his walkman, we all decided that, as a prank, we left him there because he wasn't paying attention to us. When we left, a couple of minutes later, I told them that I was going to scare him. I walked around the front side of the pool, but he got up and I straightened up because I thought that he saw me. When I returned to join my cousins, I told them that I failed. A couple of minutes later we returned and joined the adults at camp and soon my brother joined us. At around 11:17 p.m. we started talking about how I tried to scare him after we left him. He told me that he got up and looked towards the back and in a small clearing between some trees he saw a shadow walking across the clearing, that was when he came to join us. Soon after my cousing told him that he saw my brother stand and that he saw a shadow right sort of behind, yet beside my brother just standing there. IT was real freaky. I am afraid of riding out by myself late at night because of their stories.

The final chapter to this story is about a house made from adobe in which a lady killed her husband there. The lady's husband worked for my grandma's sister, the lady and here husband lived in that house. My cousin has told me that he has gone in there with some of my uncles and that the lights just flick on and off by themselves. And my brother went there with some cousins and he told me that he was going to show them the goats foot which me and my cousin showed him, and that when they were leaving the door just closed and opened without any wind. He was real freaked. Though this is not going to stop us from going there again. I believe that ghost's exist, but I guess that I have to see one to believe it.
