Puerto Rico: My Story: Places that I have lived in. I was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
I lived for what my mother has told me, after I was born, she told me that from Mayaguez we moved to Coamo. Then for what I remember we moved again, and I remember that we went to Cayey, Puerto Rico to live there when I was four years old until I was like six or seven years old. Then with my mom I moved again to Mayaguez with my older brother, and we lived with her only for two years. Then I moved with my older brother to live with my father to Carolina. Then my father moved to Guaynabo, and then we moved again to with my father to live for the last time in Caguas, and I went to school in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Finally, we moved here to the United States of America, to live here in Richmond, Virginia.
Apparently not, this is a link where it says that since there is no representation of any representation of us I mean of Puerto Ricans in Congress, we can't vote for election for a President. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_voting_rights_in_Puerto_Rico here in the link, there is all the information that you will need, to informed you about this topic.
This is a link of Puerto Rico's Government, like in the link before, and what I said, its the same for the Government, but there's one more thing that I should add, apparently in this years election in Puerto Rico the people voted and or agreed for Puerto Rico to become a state of the United States of America. http://www.topuertorico.org/government.shtml
There's a story of a young girl's spirit, that goes around in some part of Puerto Rico, I am not really sure or exactly where, but there is a story where a young girl was hit by a drunk driver, and her dad was with her too, and both of them died. She was on her way to her senior prom I think, and in some point her father's car stopped, so he pulled of the car on the side to check the car, to see what was wrong, and she came out of the car too to help her father, then a drunk driver killed them both instantly. The legend says, that she always haunts that dangerous road where she was killed, and it appears that she is asking for a ride. There's a guy that stops and pick her up and ask her where is she going, and she says that she is going to her prom dance, and then they after the dance they decide to go to the beach she ask for the guy to give her his coat because she was feeling cold, and then he will drive her to her "house" or a couple of houses down the street, then the next day, the guy goes to her house to pick up his coat, and he ask for the girl in the house, but someone else answers the door, and he asks for her, and the person says:"sorry, but that person doesn't live here anymore." And he says: "do you know where is she now?" And the lady that answered the door says: "sorry, but she is dead." Then the lady says that she will go with him to prove him where her tomb was. Then when they get to her tomb was, his coat was there laying on top of the girl's ghost tomb.
I wish I have had found the footage and or a video of this story, but I didn't.
This is one of the most and scariest videos, where here explain some of the legends of ghost stories that have had happen, there is a two part video, they are in Spanish.
There is a lot of Puerto Rican Legends that goes around, and nobody knows for sure if all this have had happen or not.
Today's Topic of Puerto Rico's Blog is going to be about all the leyends that may or may not be related to Puerto Rico or even Halloween.
This is a link of "La Llorona" Leyend, that I am not really sure where dis this leyend of "La Llorona", and here is the link from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Llorona.
In Puerto Rico, we have a lot of stories, urban leyends, and all that scary stuff that is Halloween. Halloween it is really well celebrated in Puerto Rico, we have that tradition of going out at night too to collect candy from strangers, and we also sing a Halloween song like before going to a house and ask for candy, and the song or lyrics goes like this: "Halloween trick or treat, dame chavo y no maní, no te escondas que te ví en la casa de Pepín.", the lyrics changes a lot it depends where are you in the area of Puerto Rico.
In Puerto Rico we have the leyend of "El Chupacabras"
