Some things that happened to an relative who passed away in 2019

>Great uncle was a teacher in Mexico back in the 60s
>During the red scare from 1968, Uncle got sent to a rural township in Southern Baja in order to teach at a newly built communitary school
>More than a township, it was a small enclave for a cattle rancher, his workers and their families, and the 'school' was a small adobe building used to teach the workers' children
>Uncle arrives just in time for the school year to begin
>Place is a fucking hellhole, full of snakes and scorpions, unbearable heat and the settlers are super paranoid assholes who think Uncle might be a communist (he wasn't, but this was just two months before the october massacre and the paranoia was at its highest point)
>The rancher rents him a cabin at the edge of the town, since the entire settlement was basically owned by him in a company store-style 
>Rancher handles Uncle some guidelines on what he can and can't teach, because he doesn't want his workers to be 'that' educated, just enough so they can read, write and do basic math
>Uncle decides to not disagree with him, because the Rancher looks like the kind of guy who might disappear people for not being cooperative
>He also makes a point on how Uncle should avoid getting out of the cabin at night, mentions the locals being trigger happy because there's coyotes and mountain lions in the foothills nearby
>okayboss.flac
>First weeks go without incidents, but Uncle notices that most of the nights there's sounds of something moving around the tall grasses beyond the ranch fences
>Uncle is housed in a small wooden cabin only equipped with a coal stove, a latrine and a bunk bed; behind it was a wire fence to keep wild dogs, coyotes, mountain lions and cattle thieves away from the ranch
>This continues for about another week, and he isn't getting enough sleep because whatever is outside, makes a very loud rustling noise

>Uncle is unarmed, so the idea of going out and getting mauled by a mountain lion or a crazy fucker trying to steal a sheep is out of the question
>Decides to stay up and find out what the hell it is, so he can report it to the rancher or a foreman
>A night later, the rustling begins as usual
>Uncle looks through the window and sees a man at the distance
>This goes for what seems like an eternity, then the fucker starts to move slowly towards the fence
>Uncle describes the man as about 5'7', very skinny and wearing something like pic related; standing in grass up to his knees
>At first, Uncle thought it might have been a drunken worker or a cattle thief, but says the guy is unarmed and thieves at least have a machete for when shits hit the fan
>Iit takes a few seconds for Uncle to realize something's way wrong
>The guy's face looks off
>Guy gets closer, until he's at least five feet away from the fence
>Uncle shits a ton of mexican adobe bricks
>The guy's face is upside down

Shit, wrong picture

>Uncle is really unable to process what the hell he's looking at, because it makes no sense
>His initial thought is the weird guy's face being a very realistic mask, because it looks as if he was a very old man
>Then the fucker smiles
>Thatsnomaskchief.jpg
>The fucker with the upside down face is just smiling at him, and his mouth is full of very fucked up teeth, a bunch of them missing and the ones left look very rotten
>Uncle jumps away from the window and backs all the way to the cabin's kitchen, where at least he has some knives in case that weird guy decides to get inside
>Uncle remains awake all night, and only leaves the cabin when the sun is out and he can hear the townspeople outside
>He fucking sprints to the rancher's house, where he tells the rancher what he saw
>'That's El Chueco', the Rancher says
>Chueco is spanish for 'the Crooked One', and the rancher tells him it's a local ghost
>During the waning days of the revolution, a group of rebels rode into town, claiming they came for loot on behalf of Pancho Villa himself; and if the owner denied them, they would murder everyone in town
>Pancho Villa had been dead by two months
>these guys were just raiders looking for easy money and posing as members of Villa's army

>The rancher's father and a handful of his workers started shooting, chasing them away
>One of the raiders is wounded and falls off his horse, breaking his neck in the process
>Rancher's father orders the workers to bury him in the same pit they use for sick and dead animals
>His ghost haunts the property since then, appearing as an unsettling figure of a man with an upside down face
>Hasn't attacked anyone, but just the sight of his ghoulish upside down face has caused many people to fall sick, have heart attacks or simply abandon the settlement
>Rancher asked Uncle if he wanted to continue living there, he would pay him an extra amount of money; or he could quit and would be generously compensated as long as he didn't said a thing about the ghost because the settlement needed a teacher
>Uncle worked in there for a year, but moved into another cabin closer to the owner's hacienda
>A few other paranormal shenanigans happened in the ranch, but not as scary as the Crooked One

Great Uncle was a guy who worked as a rural teacher, so he travelled everywhere through Mexico between the 50s and the early 80 and saw all sorts of crazy shit from cartel dealings to lynchings, ghosts and even a Lechuza.
