The crazy one of Ejido
At the time of the war of independence, in 1812, lived in the then Villa de Ejido, in the state of Mérida, a young girl named Marta who was deeply in love with a young man, named Lorenzo, who had inherited from his father and many hacienda goods.
He wanted to go to Mérida with his mother and with Marta, but she could not because her mother was sick. He urged Lorenzo not to travel because he did not want to stay alone. He said he had duties to fulfill.
On March 26 the great earthquake occurred and in Merida many buildings collapsed. People asked for mercy from God and terrified, the survivors were grouped in the squares. Marta found out what happened and hurried to Merida.
When he got there, he got Lorenzo's mother with a lost look of disconsolation, on the ruins under which the body of his son was.
His reaction was to be petrified before the horror of the loss of his beloved. From that day every Holy Week is seen touring the streets of Merida followed by a group of children.
The bride of the Guaira
In the 50s when there was still no Caracas La Guaira highway, a young woman named María José Cárdenas was very much in love with her boyfriend.
Dressed as a bride and ready to go to the altar, she went to take a taxi that would take her to Caracas for the wedding. The taxi broke down and Maria decided to ask a traveler to help her.
Someone stopped and offered to take her, but being drunk, they had an accident on a curve and both died.
Since then, the drivers tell that at night he appears on the road asking to be taken. If you take her, when passing by the place of the accident, she says: "Here I killed myself", disappearing.
Drunk drivers lose control and suffer accidents. It is also said that if the driver is sober, he leaves some flowers where he was sitting.
On the other hand if you are denied taking it, it appears later asking "Why do not you take me?", Producing in most cases serious accidents.
The anima alone
In Venezuela, the soul is known alone as the spirit of a female combatant in the war of independence, who died in a battle. It is a wandering benefactor soul but it terrifies those who have acted badly.
