Hello and welcome to Day 9 of Countdown to Halloween. 

 Today's tale is of  La Pascualita, also known as the "Mexican Corspe Bride" which is actually a bridal mannequin that has been in a bridal shop in Chihuahua, Mexico 1930.  

She is known for her preserved corpse-like appearance and rumors circled that it was the owner's daughter who passed away on her wedding day after being bitten by a Black Widow spider.  The shop owner denied it but many of the locals believed it was true.

Of course. this had spurred rumors of it being haunted and even of a lovesick magician bringing her back to life and night and at night and she has shifted her position in the window and some have said they feel her gaze.

She is changed twice a week by the shop workers, but probably the creepiest account on Oddity Central is by shop worker that said she breaks into a sweat everything she goes near the mannequin and that the legs on it have varicose veins on them.  

Wouldn't see any reason why that would be on a mannequin, But in the article on Oddity Central indicated the Museum of Hoaxes stated it would be impossible to embalm anyone to be preserved that well.

Below is also a video.

CREEPY CLOWN MOTEL

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of Countdown to Halloween.

As a new adaptation of Stephen King's "IT" was recently released, I thought I would share this Creepy Clown Motel.

Clowns; people either seem to love them or hate them, but this Clown motel seems to land more on the creepy side.

The motel is located in Tonopah, Nevada and a LA Times article as "a tiny desert town plopped somewhere between Las Vegas, Reno and a “Twilight Zone” episode" and Ghost Adventure shot an episode there.   Also, the video game "Call of Duty has it included in part of their landscape.

Facebook page indicates the motel has 31 rooms, both smoking and non-smoking rooms, and that each room is equipped with a tv, a fridge and a microwave.


The ratings on www.tripadvisor.com range from Excellent to such as Heidi K indicating:

"Barring the transparent creepiness, the locality is infested with black cats and the cleaning-man wears clown pants! The room was clean enough and the staff was friendly."

and CindyW607 saying:

"The rooms are large. They are pet-friendly. They are knowledgeable about local history and events. They personally visit the local eateries and give accurate assessments. The price is low which is perfect for us because we sleep in our room. They provide hot coffee in the morning in the office. Rooms have refrigerators and microwaves. I have stayed at several motels & hotels in Tonopah, including the Mizpah and I keep returning to the clown."

 to Terrible, such as jdog17 stating:

"The town of Tonopah is, without a doubt, once of the ugliest towns in this country. I've been around, believe me when I say Tonopah looks like a Martian colony. It's very dusty and grimy. A haze seems to float through the air. There is nothing welcoming about it. Anyway -- the Clown Motel is pretty much part of the ambience of Tonopah. The room I stayed in was dirty in a deep, abiding way -- as if it had been covered with grime for decades. The amenities were . . . non-existent. The lock on the door was not a deadbolt, so I didn't feel particularly safe either. This place is only fun in retrospect. Makes for a great story, as in "I survived the Clown Motel."

and two other users that rated terrible reporting that porn was being filmed there.

New Beauty Trend - "Braided Eyebrows"

Photo:  Screenshot from video

While not actually "braided" it is giving the illusion of being braided by drawing with an eyebrow pencil.  While I have to give it props for creativity and would be interesting for a runway show, photo shoot or if you are in the entertainment or creative fields or for a different look for a party or to wear to a mall to see if anyone would notice, it is not something that would probably be a mainstream trend...but then again...you never know.
