Urban Legends

Red Car

Origin: Mexico

The Red Car is a scary urban legend from Mexico about a group of witches who travel the roads looking for en. It is also known as "El carro de las brujas" (The carriage/car of the witches).

They say that, in Mexico, there is a scarlet red car that travels at night on the road between Mexico City and Cuernavaca. Usually, it is only seen by men who wander the lonely streets after dark.

Inside the red car, there are two or three women. Sometimes there are as many as five, and they are all very beautiful. When they see a man alone by the side of the road, they stop the car and try to entice him to get inside. They use sensual language, gestures, and promise that they will fulfill his dreams.

If the man accepts their offer and gets into the red car, he is usually found sometime later, lying lifeless by the side of the road, his bruised and battered body covered with cuts and strange arcane symbols. It is so obvious that he has been subjected to some dark occult ritual in which he has been sacrificed to the devil.

Some say that the scarlet lining of the red car is made from the blood of the victims.
