   "the neighborhood of the chained"


Legend has it that during the year 1686, when he was viceroy of New Spain Don Francisco Portocarrero Lasso de la Vega, Earl of Manclova began those occurrences of an entity known as "chained" which was named by the inhabitants of the capital. In this spectrum is related to the viceroy ... Why? 
The story goes that these directions lived a blacksmith named Pink, who was a miserable old man apparently harmless; However, among those who became known as a good and honest man, children and animals were afraid, so only a few customers frequented his people trabajo.Una most frequented place was the viceroy, and sent every time perform blacksmithing, perhaps because it was one of the few who knew the old man had a shed in your backyard. 
A full moon night, the smith went to the outskirts of the city, until a mysterious cave that was on a nearby hill; but no one knew who was the greatest, what if it was a fact that some of its customers could hear screaming in pain. And coincidentally since that night, the viceroy was seen limping, but Mr. Rosa had warned that if the pain it affects, was a sign that he would love to Doña Maria; and she was also wanted by the gentleman, but the problem is that parents want their enclaustrarla teachers. 
Behavior that day was different because Mrs. Don Francisco allowed to accompany her to her house, then her father she would face flat refuses to join a convent; father burst into anger and then sends his daughter to confess, but of course that instead of going to unload his soul went straight to the house of his beloved. Meanwhile, I had to pay increasingly ironwork; but he was not the only one who had sold his soul to the devil, because a man named Don Rodrigo made ​​in exchange for wealth and a lady named Dona Serafina was able to get her husband back to her. 
Given these excellent results, customers started coming like flies to honey at local Rosado; and finally, the maimed and the lame began to abound in the neighborhood, and when he saw on the street all they did was look at each other, knowing that they had changed a limb for his dearest wish. Those who enjoyed favors granted, but I also felt a deep fear and panic to death and this situation made ​​them act crazy. In Doña Serafina, fears began to annoy her husband, thinking seriously about anything, but she warns him that if he does leave lightning to kill him; Don Miguel vu ignoring his wife, got into his car and had not advanced many streets when the horses bolted and lost control of the car, losing their lives in this tragic event. Later Doña Serafina received the body of her husband. 
The other gentleman, Don Rodrigo de Brugos no sale or corner for fear of having an accident, and was just biting because he feared being poisoned their employees. And as these tragic cases, many were those who lived under this awful fear of death in San Álvaro bearings, all blaming the blacksmith Rosa. 
Time passed and all those empavorecidas people took to the streets in search of the old man, who tried to bring them to the graceful flight, which failed because it totally cornered; thereupon she felt about her body stoned, beaten and stabbed and left in a pool of blood. People are still not satisfied, dragged him out of the city to reach the mysterious caves, where he rose to the top of the cliff and threw him from there Rosado Void staggered and smashing his skull crashing against the rocks. Still not satisfied with this act of barbarism, returned to the old man's house and searched every corner. 
The next day the father Bermudez was paralyzed with horror at the sight of the destroyed old house, but was surprised to see more coins scattered across the floor of gold; and soon it is not clear that the implementation gossip "nagual" as he was known in the village, had died. 
The holy man went directly to the offices of the Holy Office to give the report; Later they would go to the blacksmith housing gasket. During Valentine Alvaro passed in silence, but it was full moon, when the coyotes howled and then many people before him look sinister: a frightening ghost through the streets of a stop at the house of Don Francisco Portocarrero; Viceroy hair felt like every pang of terror, to see and hear that hollow voice from beyond hollow. 

The gateway involved an obstacle to the ghost that easily entered the courtyard was lit by the moon. Don Francisco and terrorized sensed the worst: Rosa sidelines. The steps came slowly towards the unfortunate man, forcing his wife to shut themselves locked; Suddenly the ghost in front of him, carrying a heavy and looking menacingly at Viceroy way. 
The spectrum of Don Francisco came to have sold his soul to the devil; and immediately the bony hand grabbed her arm condemned Doña María went to help her husband, but in terror to see that horrible image could not stand it, and fell on the floor. Officers immediately attended to, would have been more valuable to the poor woman will never wake up because he never came back to his senses, others say no endured the trauma of the death of her husband. 
Legend has it that when you design Don Francisco discovered a chain attached to his ankle, but it was creepy to try to remove it clung to the flesh. Another event is when the full moon shone again, Rosado reappeared in the neighborhood terror wherever he went, all residents testified that after that night Doña María found dead with a chain attached to his ankle; the same fate befell Don Rodrigo, who was found with a chain around his wrist. So, one by one, to all who participated in the lynching of Rosado, died in the same way; every full moon was the same and said that the ancient inhabitants disappeared in those mysterious caves. 
But he decided to end this wave of deaths Bermúdez night father faced the spectrum, and with a cross held high because penaba asked his soul, but got no answer; religious then threw holy water on the creature disappeared after a few moments, and then saw the flight outside the neighborhood, looking away in caves. 
The priest followed him to his hideout, where they heard and saw a green light voices; and no weapon but the crucifix, the priest was introduced in the cave, and before his eyes had a frightening scenario: a legion of ghosts chained, screaming and cursing impressive. Legend has it that the father came out of there as fast as he could to get away from that branch of hell, but to reach the village took him like crazy and eventually was put in an asylum. 
As the spirit of Rosa, history tells us that at the end of its mission to collect all chained and then saw them afflicted by settlers on full moon nights. 
The terrifying incident was documented by Fr Bermudez in great detail. Years after his death, the Holy Office has found the information and came to bless this damn cave, and burned the house of the elderly. 
Interestingly I say that the viceroy in his portraits Portocarrero is shown as a tough-looking man without an arm; the great unsolved mystery is that nobody knows if he lost his arm in combat favors oppor orders wrong.
