Casa de Claudia Mijangos — the house where a mother murdered her three children, Querétaro

The Claudia Mijangos house in a suburb of Querétaro is one of the most disturbing crime scenes in modern Mexican history. On December 23, 1989, Claudia Mijangos stabbed her three children to death inside the house. She claimed to be possessed by the devil, and her case became one of Mexico's most infamous criminal cases. EVP recordings taken in the house after the murders have allegedly captured children's voices and screaming. The house has been abandoned since the murders, and neighbours describe hearing children's cries from inside the empty building, seeing lights in the windows, and experiencing an oppressive, malevolent atmosphere near the property. Some accounts describe the sensation of being observed from the house's windows by unseen figures. The Mijangos case resonated deeply in Mexican culture, where the murder of children by their mother inverts the most sacred Catholic and indigenous values of motherhood. The case has been connected to discussions of demonic possession, mental illness, and the pressures on women in conservative Mexican society. The house itself has become a landmark of Mexican true crime and paranormal culture.
