Apparitions In My Grandparents Apartment
My family is originally from Mexico
This all happened in my paternal grandparents apartment in the early to mid 1970's
When I was about 1 or 2 my parents moved in with my grandparents temporarily
They had put my crib in my grandparent's bedroom and my parents stayed in a smaller room
While I don't remember this, my parents told me I would scream at the top of my lungs whenever I was put down for a nap or for bedtime
They said I would point to the corner of the room and yelled the words "La Cha cha"-and no it has nothing to do with the dance
In Spanish Cha cha is short for muchacha which means young woman
They said this would also occur in the bathroom
I would point at something in the corner and yell La cha cha..
And then would kick and scream saying that she was going to get me. My cousin also had an experience except she was a little older and ran out of my grandparent's bedroom once
When my uncle-her father asked what was wrong she said that the man wouldn't let her go to sleep
My uncle fearing an intruder had broken in ran in a checked everywhere
They were on the 8th floor and the window was small with no balcony so there was no way anyone would have climbed up just to break in
He asked her where the man was and she said in the corner
No one was there
The next day she also ran out crying saying the man wouldn't let her sleep
My uncle had it by then
They then didn't stay there for a long time. My grandmother had hung the laundry on the roof (this is very common in large apartments in Mexico) and around dusk it started raining
She asked my aunt-her daughter- to run up and get the clothes because she was making dinner
My aunt who was about 15 at the time ran up there and started taking the clothes down
She was by herself up there
Then she said she took down one of the sheets and when she did this she saw someone standing a few feet away from her
Since it was kind of dark and raining, and the roof was not well-lit she assumed it was another tenant so she said hello
The person was wearing a black cloak and had its back to her
The minute she said hello the figure turned around and she froze
She said the hood was empty except for two glowing red eyes staring at her
She dropped the laundry and closed her eyes and when she opened them the figure was gone
She then ran down back to the apartment in tears and all hysterical
It took a long time for my grandma to calm her down
At first she thought someone had tried to attack her..
But then my aunt told her what happened
Apparently other tenants had reported seeing a familiar figure roaming the stairwells and the roof
Whether this thing was related to the "cha cha" or the man who wouldn't let my cousin sleep I don't know
All I know is that this place was really creepy in places and was glad when they moved away to another building
This apartment building actually was destroyed in the big earthquake in 1985
So it was a blessing they weren't still living there at the time
Don't know what is standing there now
