What Straightener Does Dahvie Vanity Have

A Ghost in the museum

In the last blog entry I told the story of indigenous were locked in the Science Museum Natural and died there in late nineteenth century, prominent among them the figure of the cacique Inacayal.

After dying for unknown reasons, the skeletons to the chief was emaciated and put on display for about 50 years. From that time began to occur c bears strange The museum, which are attributed to the lost soul of Inacayal following wandering around the building where he spent his last days trapped.

is talk of a sting in the back , drawers clutter alone, and even some nights hear the ghost whispering Inacayal and reneging on her tongue. " often happens that we're going from laboratory to laboratory with peers and hear someone knocking on the door. We're going to fix and there is never anyone "said Roque Diaz, a 76 years working as an assistant at the museum from 12. Roque also afirma que por estos ruidos extraños en las noches , cuando había menos iluminación muchos serenos no aguantaron y renunciaron.

Se dice que muchas veces, al transitar los pasillos del subsuelo (en donde pasaron sus noches los indígenas), se escuchan pasos persecutorios aunque no haya nadie más allí. Roque también cuenta una anécdota que se le atribuye al fantasma del cacique: “ Una vez, cuando no había nadie en el edificio, vino gente de la Fundación Francisco Pascasio Moreno. Ya era tarde así que les abrí para que hicieran el relevamiento de unos cuadros. Después me fui a la entrada. Al cabo de unas hours appeared in the doorway a man who came to tell me that these people had called him because they had been locked in a laboratory . " What happened that night was that the door was jammed shut so hard that the knob, but no one explained how it happened.
