A ghost in Quito’s downtown

In my holiday, my family and I went to Quito, specifically to the historical center of
Quito
Quito is de capital of the Republic of Ecuador and has 1'700,000 inhabitants.
Owns, the Historical Center, known as the relicario de arte de America that is
cultural heritage of humanity. Therefore, I found a lot of archaeological and
architectural wealth in Quito. It also had a variety of museums and colonial places.
First, we were visiting the history center of Quito while we walked around the seven
crosses and take photos of the monuments and churches. We were amazing with
the San Francisco church. It was big and nice. We talked about the cantuña history
and we thought if was true. The legend tells that to finish the atrium of the church of
San Francisco, in the Historical Center of Quito, the Indian Francisco Cantuña made
a pact with the devil giving him his soul in exchange for help. It's a strange and scary
story
Then we visited “El panecillo” ts name was given by the Spaniards in their Conquest
since the hill bears a resemblance to a small bread. we went to the looked. This
monument separates the north from the south of the city. It is very impressive to be
able to see the city from so high
Finally, we went to the “museo de cera” They use wax figures to recreate important
episodes of Quito's history. For example, here recreates what happened on August
2, 1810. According to the story, a group of patriots wanted to free their fellow
detainees in the Royal Audience Barracks, since the failed revolt of August 1,809. It
was so fabulous and interesting to see. but, in spite of all the beauty that this museum
had, people commented on paranormal things that happened, we did not believe
them, but when we arrived at the calabrous ones, we heard loud sounds, and a
strange cold in our body. when we came back to see, we could see a very strange
shadow, followed by a loud sound, and the lights went out, all shouted very loudly,
and when they could turn on the lights, the shadow was gone, we were all very
scared.
