Step into the spooky world of Mexican folklore from Atlixco. In this video, we explore the chilling legend of witches at night around the hill of San Miguel—where mothers locked their homes at 8 PM, prayed for protection, and feared fireball sightings. The story follows eerie nighttime rituals: witches removing their legs, switching them with those of a guajolote (turkey), flying through doors and windows on broomsticks, and gathering on the San Miguel hill to leap from the platform—then landing as fiery balls, searching for children, men, and lovers.
You’ll also learn about the protective customs locals still remember for warding off witches—cross-shaped cuttings, crosses, sticks, and even crossed scissors placed by doors and windows to prevent their deadly attacks. Even after many years, people avoided climbing the hill after 9 at night, and faint “tired” fireworks on the slopes remain as a warning that the witches still roam.
If you love creepy folklore, legends, supernatural horror, Mexican culture, and traditional ghost stories, this Atlixco witch tale will keep you watching till the end.
