Deep in the heart of Guanajuato, Mexico, stands a house that whispers of sorrow and screams of vengeance. La Casa de los Lamentos — the House of Laments — is said to be cursed, its walls echoing with the cries of the lost and the damned.

Once home to Tadeo Fulgencio Mejía, a man driven to madness after the brutal death of his beloved wife, this eerie mansion became the site of countless unspeakable rituals… and possibly, murders. But were they the acts of a grieving husband seeking solace—or something darker that took hold within those stone walls?

Join me, your host from Rogue Darkness, as we step beyond the threshold of this haunted home to uncover the chilling legend that blurs the line between love, obsession, and the supernatural.

Because in the House of Laments… the dead never rest.

In 1945, the quiet village of Lower Quinton, England, was shaken by one of the most chilling murders in British history.
