Fuente de los Muñecos

A horror legend claims that around 1940, in the Xonaca neighborhood of Puebla, some children left their home on their way to school when a torrential rain swept them into a river, killing them.

One of the country's most powerful men, the president's brother, Maximino Ávila Camacho, had a house nearby. Upon learning the story, he ordered a fountain built in memory of the children on the street in front of his house.

The fountain has since been known as "La fuente de los Muñecos /The Dolls' Fountain" because of the two children sculpted inside.

The macabre aspect of the story is that neighbors say that at night, the sculptures move or change their faces. Laughter can be heard echoing from inside the fountain, and the sounds of children playing fill the surrounding area.

Although many claim the legend is true, detractors say the fountain was meant to represent youth education. The truth is that the source still generates intrigue about its origin and fear because of what is said about it.
