31 Days of Spook – La Pascualita
Oh my friends. This tale today is scary unbelievable. It makes you want to do a double take… and possibly a triple take. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. You see working on my 31 Days of Spook takes month of advance preparation. All year long, I’m looking for just the right stories to bring to you. Stories of the macabre, ghosts, strange tales, paranormal and things that go bump in the night. But this story, it caught my attention and I’ve been waiting for some time to share it.
This is something that is strange. It takes place in Chihuahua, Mexico. There’s a well known bridal shop in the town called La Popular. In the bridal shop, there is a mannequin nicknamed La Pascualita that is wearing a wedding dress in the store window. Sounds all innocent enough, right? Well here’s the twist. Some say that La Pascualita might be real. Do I have your interest piqued now?
You see, for the past 75 
years this bridal shop has had rumors flying around about La Pascualita. Some believe that this mannequin is actually a perfectly preserved corpse!
La Pascualita was placed in the window on March 25, 1930. Locals saw it and knew that something just wasn’t right about it. Look at the pictures to the left. Do you know notice anything odd?
According to the legend, La Popular’s owner Pascuala Esparza had a daughter. His daughter tragically passed away on her wedding day from the bite of a black widow spider. Some believe that Esparza had his daughter embalmed and that she is now the famous La Pascualita in the shop window. Of course Esparza has denied such rumors.
Funny thing though – if La Pascualita isn’t Esparza’s daughter why all the secrecy. What secrecy you ask? Well, of all of the employees of the shop there are only two that are allowed to change her clothing and that is only behind a closed door.
Other employees of the shop so that La Pascualita’s hands are very realistic and some say you can even see wrinkles and varicose veins on her legs. Other employees say they come into the shop in the early mornings only to see that La Pascualita has changed positions on her own. And then there are other employees that say La Pascualita ‘watches’ them during the day.
You be the judge. What do you think?

Bacon’s Tales of Terror
Welcome my friends to my Bacon’s Tales of Terror. Today, I have another true story. Something that happened to my mom that I want to share with you. Are you ready? Do you think you can stand the chills and bumps? Here’s my hoof if you need to hold it sweet friends.
Do you remember several months when we had the awful news that Mouse Girl had passed away here at the Hotel Thompson? You can read about it here. This happened so out of the blue. Mouse Girl was fine and then she was not. The day that mom/dad came home from the vet’s office, they were both just torn apart. Mom had called Fozziemom and they were talking about what happened. This is where it gets weird and strange. During their conversation, I was in the front room with mom along with Houdini and Hemi. There was a kitty that started meowing out of the blue. It was so strong and so loud that even Fozziemom heard it and asked about it. Mom was looking straight at Hemi and it was not him. The meow was strong and loud – like an adult kitty. Everyone was bewildered.
Mom went to the front door and looked outside. On the porch she saw a kitty perhaps just a couple of weeks old and the strong meowing was coming from that kitty. Mom told Fozziemom she was going to investigate and would call her back. Mom went straight outside perhaps only a couple of minutes went by from mom seeing the kitty, hanging up and going outside. That’s when she found it – nothing. No kitty. Nada. Not even a trace. What the heck?!
Our neighbor Big Daddy was sitting out front. Mom asked him if (A) he heard it or (B) he saw it. He saw and heard nothing which was odd because the kitty was right there. Mom then asked the kids that were playing in front of the house if they heard or saw the kitty. Nope. This kitty was gone in less than 60 seconds – vanished. Mom searched around the front yard, around the bushes and nothing.
The kitty has never been seen or heard again since this date. Now is that weird or what? Was it Mouse Girl saying goodbye? Thoughts?
Strange Combinations
Okay my friends. Let’s discuss weird food combinations. What foods do you mix together that *you* think is so good but somebody else would say eeeww nasty?
I’ll start – snorts with piggy laughter. When mom/dad go to the movies, which is infrequent but does happen, mom has to have popcorn while dad is a huge nacho fan. Dad will dip his nacho in his cheese and then put the cheesy nacho in mom’s popcorn to pick up some popcorn before eating it. Can you see his nacho in mom’s popcorn. Disgusting huh? I haven’t seen such a disgrace since peanut butter bumped into chocolate.. oh wait a minute. I do like that combination.
Then there’s mom who when she fixes tuna for sandwiches, cuts up green olives with the pimentos and throws it into the mix.
Another thing that mom does – when she fixes a peanut butter sandwich, she crumbles up plain potato chips and puts inside of the sandwich. Yep, inside of the sandwich. Shakes piggy head. Unbelievable huh?
So what do your humans fix that seems weird. Please share. My humans can’t be the only strange ones.
May I Introduce Nana’s New Pet…. Alligator
You see a couple of weeks ago when mom/dad were running loose on Tybee Island, they came across an egg. A little egg. Mom said no one was looking so she and dad picked up the egg and took it to Nana. What could possibly go wrong, right?
So mom gave the strange egg to Nana. Nana was excited… until she got up one day to find the egg cracked and a mysterious creature was then running wild in her home. She searched under the couch, in the bedrooms, in the closets, all over you might as well say. Nana didn’t know what to expect when she found this creature.
Then Nana went into the kitchen to wash her dishes and what did she find?! An ALLIGATOR sitting in one of her bowls. OMP! Nana has a pet alligator? She was so excited and was on the verge of making birth announcements when mom just happen to show up at her house with Ace Ventura on speed dial. The gator was so cute – Nana didn’t want to give him up. So she named him Ralphie and made him a permanent home in her house. Let’s just hope that she doesn’t get bored with him and flush him down the toilet.

Bacon’s Tales of Terror
Welcome my friends to another Bacon’s Tales of Terror on the 13th. You do know that I search everywhere for just the right story to bring to you. Something scary. Something a little strange and macabre. Something that makes the little hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. You know – just for oinks and snorts. 🙂
Well this month is no different. I came across something that totally freaked out this little oinker. Then I showed it to mom and she went oohh weird. Then, I knew it was the perfect story to bring to you – my friends in blogville that like a little bit of the bizarre. So I hope you enjoy this little tidbit as well we did. Remember the next time you get up in the middle of the night and hear things that go bump in the night, some times you can’t see things they may be looking at you. Shivers and good day.

Fundies
Humans are weird. Strange. Bizarre. I was looking at my ifunny ap on my iPad last night and came across this – Fundies. Really? Humans thought this up and wear these things? To do what? Play Bingo? Shakes piggy head. I don’t get it. For more than obvious reasons of not wearing underwear. Do you? Snorts
