The Haunting Roads of Oaxaca

Oaxaca, a city with deep roots in mysticism and folklore, is no stranger to stories that blur the line between reality and the supernatural. Among those who navigate its labyrinth of streets and shadowy corners, the taxi drivers hold a unique place as the keepers of these eerie tales. As they shuttle passengers through the late hours of the night, they often become unwitting witnesses to the otherworldly. Three such drivers have encountered more than they ever bargained for-each with a story that chills the soul.

The Silent Passenger tells the tale of Amílcar, a seasoned driver who picks up a strange woman in the dead of night. She asks to be taken to a desolate location, but as they near their destination, her true nature reveals itself. By the end of the journey, Amílcar is left questioning his grip on reality as he faces something far more sinister than a regular passenger.

The Mysterious Woman from Ocotlán recounts the experience of a driver who, after dropping off a passenger late one night, sees the same mysterious woman standing at the side of the road-unmoved, as if time itself has no hold on her. What begins as an act of kindness turns into an encounter with a legend that warns of fatal consequences for those who engage with her.

Finally, in The Lady of the Taxi, Don Aurelio, a skeptical man who never believed in ghosts or the paranormal, comes face-to-face with an old woman whose eyes reveal an unimaginable darkness. Trapped in his own vehicle with this malevolent presence, Aurelio discovers that some stories are not just tales to scare children but warnings of real dangers lurking in the night.
