We're back after our week break.
In the first half, Jessica will talk to us about the one thing the Aztecs feared the most at night. Till this day, people in Mexico, specially in small towns believe to see. They were known as Mometzcopinqui, the witches that would terrorize small villages at night and steal babies to suck their blood.
In the second half of the episode, Karina tells us about the history of Yosemite National Park and the hauntings that reside there. From child ghosts, nightcrawlers, to native american legends and maybe a skinwalker or possible alien?
