LEGEND

The tree of the vampire.


The legend says that there was a vampire that stalked the citizens of Guadalajara.The suspicion started with small animals found all over the city drained completely of their blood.
Later,infants were found dead and drained of blood as well.Everyone lived in fear.They stayed indoors after dark and prayed for their lives.
A group of citizens who were tired of living in constant fear decided to end the daily terror and track down the vampire.They eventually found him and when they did they drove a wooden stake through his heart.
The very next morning the townspeople secured some thick concrete slabs and buried the body hoping he would never return from the dead.
Many.many months later the concrete slabs were broken.A small tree started to grow from the stake that was thrust into the heart of the vampire.The tree still stands there to this day.It is said that if you break off a small piece of it,instead of sap you will see blood from the victims of the vampire.At nighttime,it is said that you can also see the faces of the Vampire's victims on the tree.I think this tree should be considered haunted.It is also said that the victims have haunted this cemetery in the past and their have been some sightings.
The groundseople at the cemetery dure do take a lot of precautions with this giant tree.And for a good reason.They say that if the tree dies,the vampire will be released and terrorize the city again.For this reason they have built a gate around the tree to protect it.
