Colombia, a country rich in folklore, has a massive list of haunted locations that remain on people's minds. The most common Colombian ghost story is the ''Guaca''. A Guaca is a valuable treasure that remains hidden, mostly in old houses or terrains. It's highly implied that where a Guaca hides, there is a ghost protecting it. A superstition dictates that every Guaca is destined to someone, so no one else would be lucky to pull it out. The new owner of the guaca could be blessed by the treasure, but not without a price: A curse that condemn the life of its new owner. But not only Guacas enrich the following article, which classifies haunted locations by departments, and then, in alphabetical order. ==Antioquia== *An old house in the neighborhood of Aranjuez in Medellín which now works as a school. No one dares to stay there at nights, where steps and eerie noised have scared teachers and students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】editor=El Mundo )〕 *Fredonia: A town in Southwestern Antioquia, famous for the novel La Bruja (The Witch), written by Germán Castro Caycedo and inspired on a true story. The house where the sorcery took place is filled with presences, which roam at nights and make themselves present with steps, moans, whispers and snoring sounds, specially on the second floor. It seems there could be three or more ghosts in the house: A man in white, who walks around the stairs and gets lost in the bathroom; one of the owners of the house who haunts the master bedroom and a sweet entity in the patio are some of those reported. For "Amanda", the woman from whom the book is inspired, it's unbearable to stay inside the house, since it's charged with potent aura.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LA CASA EMBRUJADA (In Spanish) )〕 *La Barquereña, Sabaneta: A man suicided inside this house. Some strange phenomena, including the ghost of a boy who was captured in a photography and the ghost of a previous owner, have been reported.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=El niño fantasma de La Barquereña )〕 *La Catedral, Medellín: A short-lived prison, built to incarcerate Pablo Escobar. Now a monastery,. some priests and nuns report to have seen lights and to have felt eerie presences. *La Magnolia, Envigado: A family was warned by a former owner that the house they were going to move in was haunted. The youngest child told his parents he used to play with another kid inside the house and who also got him some mangos out of season. Things got scary when the child tried to hang himself several times, testifying that his new friend ask him to commit suicide, so they could keep playing. After these facts, the family moved out. Some time later, the ground where the kid used to appear, was dugged out to find bones and clothes which seem to belong to a boy. *Normal Superior School of Medellín: Windows are opened and swings pushed by unseen forces, ghosts of monks, and shadows appearing on the dovecote are some of the phenomena reported by students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】editor=El Colombiano )〕 *A three floor building located in Santa Cruz neighborhood, part of the northwestern comunes of Medellín claims the curiousness of neighbors. Coins thrown from nowhere rolling on the floor, pots and glasses flying around and crashing on the floor, windows which break by themselves and strange shadows moving through the rooms are some of the phenomena reported, specially on the ground floor. The phenomena are attributed to an old man whom lived in the house and who rumouredly is possessed by the soul of his wife, though some blame the strange happenings on sorcery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Revuelo en barrio de Medellín por "casa embrujada" (In Spanish) )〕 *University of Antioquia, Medellín Campus: The main campus was home of the Franciscan Community, which also built a school there.
