This indescribable house, located on a hill about 15 minutes from the

local. In the 1880s, during the Pacific War, the soldiers
Chilean people marched towards the house, broke in, and massacred the

lights and listen to music coming from the house, they went to investigate,
waiting to join the festivities. Upon entering, however, the sounds

running directly across the nearby road where he was

The former president of Peru, Alan García, records that the historic Palace of
The Government of Lima is home to at least one supernatural entity.
In 2011, during the last months of his presidency, García stated that
"strange things" were happening in the palace. In an interview
for the program La Noche es Mía, García told a journalist:
At three in the morning, there is a friend from centuries ago who
generally wanders around the palace, especially the
Second floor. A governor, someone who was executed.

of a 'goblin', a goblin or sprite, in the garage of the palace.
Apparently, some of these employees sought help due to
nervous crises after encounters with this terrifying creature.
The sinister house on Saphi street, Cusco
Just a few blocks from the historic Plaza de Armas in Cusco, there is
find an abandoned house with a dark history. The three-story house
houses mostly unfinished on Saphi street have been abandoned by
more than 70 years, except for those who use it as a refuge
temporal.
According to local legend, many years ago, a jealous man beat
death to her lover in this very building. Other stories say that a
a large family once lived in the house and one morning everyone went
found dead inside without apparent cause or explanation.
Since people have heard strange screams and noises emanating
from the building, and nearby residents are afraid to approach and much
less entering the house on Saphi street. From those who have entered the
building in the last decades, few have remained for long
time due to intense feelings of restlessness or direct fear.
The events surrounding the house on Saphi Street took an even more
darker in 2013. Previously, in November 2012 in the region
from Valparaíso, Chile, a 36-year-old Chilean cult leader named
Ramón Castillo was accused in the ritual murder of 3 days - older boy.

bonfire because Castillo and his followers thought the boy was the
antichrist.

dead in the city of Cusco, hanging from a beam in the house on the street
Saphi. Some local residents say that it was the house itself that
forced Castillo, a man who considered himself God, to
take one's life as punishment for their horrifying crimes.
The macabre history of the Matusita House, Lima
Address
AV. Inca Garcilazo de la Vega 1337, Av. España 1337, Cercado de
Lima 15001, Peru
The Matusita House is a two-story building of innocuous appearance in the
intersection of Av. Garcilaso de la Vega and España in the center of
Lima, about 10 blocks southwest of the Plaza de Armas. The first
the floor contains a branch of Mi Banco, but the second floor is
basically sealed, secured and out of reach of everyone except
the bravest paranormal investigators and the television team
occasional who seeks a funny story.
There are two stories to explain the origins of this place so
Haunted. The first talks about a Japanese-Peruvian man who, upon
entering the second floor room, he found his wife in the
bed with another man. Enraged, he stabbed his wife to death and
lover with a kitchen knife. Some accounts claim that later
he killed his two children when they returned to school that same day.
The alternate history is significantly different. In this version,
Two servants sought revenge on their abusive employer and his family.
During a large family lunch, they mixed the food with a powerful
hallucinogen to scare the gathered diners. Retreating to the
kitchen, the two servants waited for the drugs to take effect.
Soon they heard a commotion in the dining room. Satisfied that their plan
it had worked, they went to admire the scene, only to discover blood
spattered all over the dining table and the walls, and the corpses
mutilated from the family, so crazed by drugs that they had
shattered.
Some skeptics argue that the U.S. government invented
the ghost stories during the 1950s or 1960s,
supposedly to help protect the United States embassy
United located next to the Matusita House. The diplomats who
they worked at the embassy were worried about the spies that
they operated from the adjacent building, which is why they invented the terrifying
story to scare away the enemy agents who were listening to
hidden.
The Matusita House, however, continued to create new stories, and
new victims, long after the original events. There are
numerous stories of television reporters and investigators
psychics fleeing the building, some are screaming and foaming at the mouth
mouth, others permanently traumatized and do not want to talk about
their experiences.
A Hollywood horror movie based on events at the House
Matusita is currently in pre-production.The mystery of the
Matusita House , starring Malcolm McDowell, Skeet Ulrich and
Bruce Davison.
