Zacatecas is the principal city within the municipality in Mexico of the same name, and the capital and the largest city of the state of Zacatecas. Located in north-central Mexico, the city had its start as a Spanish mining camp in the mid-16th century. Native Americans had already known about the area's rich deposits of silver and other minerals. Due to the wealth that the mines provided, Zacatecas quickly became one of the most important mining cities in New Spain. The area saw battles during the turbulent 19th century, but the next major event was the Battle of Zacatecas during the Mexican Revolution when Francisco Villa captured the town, an event still celebrated every anniversary. Today, the colonial part of the city is a World Heritage Site, due to the Baroque and other structures built during its mining days. Mining still remains an important industry. The name Zacatecas is derived from the Zacateco people and has its roots in Nahuatl. The name means "people of the grasslands".

Many of the city's thoroughfares are partially or fully underground. The historic center has numerous small plazas and colonial-era mansions, churches, and civil constructions built using pink or green sandstone. The city historic center and the adjacent mines were proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.

A mysterious, centuries-old mummified girl is one of the most attention-getting people in the historic center of Guadalajara, Mexico. She's located in the Catedral de la Asunción de María Santísima, which is commonly called simply the Guadalajara Cathedral in English... According to one legend, the girl was stabbed to death in Mexico in the 1700s by her father, who, disapproving of her interest in Catholicism, was enraged when she received the Eucharist without his permission. After the father disappeared, neighbors found the girl's body and carried it — still wearing the white dress she'd worn for the religious service — to the cathedral, where it remains to this day...

...en el número 191 de Álvaro Obregón, se encuentra una impresionante casona porfiariana que, a pesar de su excelente ubicación, nunca ha podido ser rescatada del paso del tiempo; y es que, según cuentan, en este lugar se dan cita un gran número de fenómenos paranormales que han aterrado a todos los que han tratado de pasar la noche ahí. Es la llamada Casa Negra de la Colonia Roma. (...) Cuentan que, pasadas las diez de la noche el ambiente se torna pesado y la temperatura desciende drásticamente.

Un día, los padres y sus tres hijos amanecieron muertos en su cama. Nadie supo por qué o cómo habían fallecido. Fue una muerte misteriosa...
There is no museum at 57 Higuera Street, not even a plaque. When foreign tourists ring the doorbell of the stone house, they are shooed away by the owners. Mexicans just walk right by, shunning the place because of its historic associations and popular fears of the ghosts that supposedly stalk any visitors who dare to go inside. But the house, which is one of the most graceful in the colonial neighborhood of Coyoacan, receives a modest mention in tourist guidebooks as La Malinche's house, named after Hernan Cortes's beautiful and reputedly treacherous Indian translator and mistress. Not only did La Malinche live in the house almost 500 years ago...
Hay quienes confirman que han visto a La Malinche pasear por sus aposentos y por La Conchita, llorando y gritando por sus hijos, los mestizos del pueblo mexicano. Es por eso que se cree que aquí se pudo haber originado la famosa y extendida leyenda de La Llorona.
Panteones Metro Station, on Line 2 of the railway serving Mexico City was bound to attract stories. Its name means "Graveyards" because it was built close to two old cemeteries – and as we know from the stories above, this is very likely to lead to stories of hauntings. Panteones doesn't let us down. In the tunnel between Panteones and Tacuba stations, ghostly knocks on the walls have been heard in the pitch black, and shadowy lumps appear and disappear when workers approach them.

...es uno de los lugares más permeados por la estela de la muerte en toda la ciudad de México. Se cuenta que por las noches es posible escuchar sonidos de niños jugando, pelotas que botan y el eco de sonidos de la masacre estudiantil.

{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link)In the mining town located in San Luis Potosí, abandoned and eerie buildings protrude through the cobblestone streets.

During the Mexican Revolution the country was ripe for bandits and gunmen, and loot was bountiful. As such, thieves needed a place to store all that money. Luckily for them there was this huge crater in the middle of the desert, full of caves and very difficult to access. So they stashed their treasures inside La Joya Honda... La Joya Honda has been the source of legends and mystery ever since, and people in the nearby communities have passed down stories for generations. According to legend, the crater has not only housed bandits, but is also a place where witches can be sighted some nights, and where UFOs tend to land from time to time. The crater is 800m wide and 200m deep.
In 1778, Don Bernabé Antonio de Zepeda, a miner from Matehuala began to explore the Sierra de Catorce and discovered the outcrops of the rich Veta Grande, in which he sank the Guadalupe shaft that produced a great amount of red minerals along with abundant green and white silver... By 1920, Real de Catorce was nearly a ghost town and the trolley and train were removed Although ASARCO, in 1926, and Fresnillo, in 1937, evaluated the major vein structures, a resurgence of mining activity did not take place until 1942 when a small cyanide plant was constructed and operated for about ten years.
The town was founded around 1770 after a man named Ventura Ruiz stumbled across a rich deposit of silver while searching for his lost horse... Why the silver mines are no longer a going concern is a matter of speculation. Some say the silver simply dried up. Others say the mining 'disturbs the gods', which caused much 'bad luck'. A few say the mines are haunted. One local legend has it that a ghost (the locals call him El Jergas) leads miners away from their fellow workers underground and into remote areas of the dark mines. The outcome, however, is a good one, because apparently the phantom miner is pointing the way to another vein of silver.
