THE AUNT CASCA

The most famous of the region of Moncayo, in 

connection with the existence instead

witches and covens, is Trasmoz. In his castle were 

held, according to popular tradition,

Frequently covens and population lived some 

witches who were very popular thanks to Gustavo 

Adolfo Becquer: Dorotea, the "Aunt Casca" or "The 

gauges'.

Gustavo Adolfo Becquer epistolary wrote a series of 

articles ("Letters from my cell ") telling the story 

of" Aunt Casca ", a famous witch in Trasmoz, 

apparently existed in reality.

"Aunt Casca" was tumbled in a place by the mid-

nineteenth century; she was a witch white matted 

hair tangled around her forehead like snakes, of 

hunched body and deformed arms, which the locals 

attributed all kinds of evils. Waiters

they chased with stones, clubs and knives to the 

edge of a precipice.

One accused her of giving evil to his mule, causing 

death to take away the desire

eating, leaving him destitute; another to do evil 

eye on your child, removing it from the cradle

and whipping at night; also accused of making a 

kind of a girl, flirt to another, from poison grass 

and, ultimately, to bewitch the entire village.

Our efforts to locate that made "true" were, for the 

moment,fruitless; however, we found other related 

data Monastery Veruela, residence of Gustavo and 

his brother Valeriano.

The enigmatic Monasterio de Veruela and 

surroundings also captivated and seduced

with these issues to the ancestors of the Becquer 

brothers. A sample of the above are the

Travel impressions Ignacio Valiente, editor of The 

Journal of Zaragoza, who traveled

the Moncayo to watch a solar eclipse that was on 

18 July 1860.

, trying to cross a river , invoked the devil and 

offered his soul for her to build a bridge.

Appear the devil and he says:accept… He answered 

: but must be completed before the cock 

rooster.And with frightening speed the devil began

to his wagon , rummaged in it and taking cocks 

took them kicking and right in the limit of time, 

one of them sang .With haste he reloaded the 

wagon and on the bridge and said goodbye to the 

devil. Marcos and Jorge García.

The Weird Christmas Eve

Tradition has it that witches gathered Pyrenees all 

Christmas Eves at the peak of Turbón where 

covens and satanic masses were held. In a nearby 

village, the poinsettias were spent happily, hearty 

meals and midnight masses.

 One year, a family (the home of Mr. Thomas) 

came out in full (minus the grandmother, and old, 

who was in bed) to midnight mass at midnight. 

Back, to continue the party, Mr. Thomas went to 

corral for wine and watched his best mule named 

Captain was dead and a few scratches on the neck 

and the party ended there. 

The following year he was able to buy a new mule 

which he called Carbonero, and on Christmas Eve, 

returning from Midnight Mass saw that the mule 

was bleeding from the neck.

All were amazed, history was repeated again. The 

following year the son of Thomas, Antonier, 

decided to stay on the block to be monitored. 

History tells us that with the heat that was in the 

block ran the young Antonier asleep, but woke up 

at midnight and noticed nerve mules tried to light 

a match, but after turning it off something. 

Again he tried again and could see a black cat on 

the back of one of the mules. He took a stick and 

hit him with all his strength to the cat. Legend has 

it that the next day dawned grandmother badly 

injured in the leg.

The town of Huesca Tella (district of sobrarbe) was 

also a favorite by witches to celebrate their 

macabre places covens and spells. Today the city 

houses a museum dedicated to the witch where 

several stories related to the regular presence of 

witches in the population are collected, and even 

on record as Dance d'Bruxas still dances in the 

village. Raúl Bos and Jesús Cativiela.

La bruja Cristineta

Judging by the names that remain, the feeling that 

there was a time when Aragón was populated by 

witches, since they are no dedicated numerous 

caves, ravines, bridges, trails and even dolmens. 

Covens were happening everywhere, as soon as 

sounded twelve o'clock.

t is clear that famous witch gained some women, in 

many towns, without knowing why, and people 

believed them possessed by the devil and with 

strange powers to sow evil in its path, without 

reality came to justify that condition.

The legend has been extended in this direction, 

and rare was where there were no well-known 

witch. Cristineta is the case, that lived in the town 

of Huesca Alcolea de Cinca. He enjoyed fame witch, 

but tell that something was clueless. But one day, 

she was seen flying over the ripas mounted on the 

corresponding broom, beating Pedro Saputo, the 

hero of Braulio Foz, as impossible adventure. The 

neighbors were shocked and did not leave their 

astonishment.

This unusual fact encouraged a man named 

Nazario, who also wanted to fly like he did 

Cristineta, so he climbed to hills to mimic the witch 

flying. It warned that to achieve its purpose, 

should be entrusted to the devil rather than God, 

as she flew through the power of the devil. Nazario 

nodded, her broom between their legs stood and 

threw herself while Cristineta. But I was afraid and 

could not help entrusted to God. He fell and the 

next day appeared lame.

St George and the dragon

According to legend, the city of Silca (in the 

province of Libya), was terrified by a great dragon 

that scared everyone and causing damage between 

people and animals.

Reassuringly, the villagers agreed to give the 

dragon a person in sacrifice and for that, every 

day, a raffle in which left chosen the person to be 

given the dragon was performed.

One of these days bad luck fell to the king's 

daughter. It was a much admired by the villagers 

beautiful young woman, especially his father who 

refused to deliver it in sacrifice.

Seeing the suffering of many citizens king offered 

to replace the princess, but the king refused to let 

others had to pay for the fate of his daughter. 

Besides, he knew that his daughter was part of the 

people and therefore must follow the rules so far 

had been agreed.

The princess left the city. Walking slowly toward 

the great dragon paused a few moments to look his 

people with great sadness and resignation. 

Suddenly, when least expected, appeared a young 

knight with armor mounted on a white horse. 

Seeing him, the princess told him of the dangers 

that could suffer being there, but the gentleman 

refused to leave and told him that he was there to 

save her and all the villagers.

This gentleman named Jorge, faced the dragon as 

soon as it appeared. They fought a great battle 

until the gentleman drove a great spear the dragon 

chest. From the blood He shed the dragon born a 

beautiful rose that Jorge gave the princess after 

winning the battle. Thus was born the tradition 

that, on April 23, the day of San Jorge, all the lo 

vers give away a rose to their girlfriends.    Nassim

PASSAGE FROM DEATH

It was a about five   in the afternoon when a group  

of    danish   returning from   the   capital.

Passing through a small wooden bridge over the 

river where the slope began, they froze when he 

heard the cries of men. Were heard clearly in the 

same place where they had found the bodies of 

criminals.The group said that they can’t remember 

at what time they arrived to work tables dining. 

Since that day the apparitions began, with 

dramatic results. A man called Oyuela, lead the 

caravan to show everyone what a lie ghosts at the 

brink of death, as they called the place.

When members of the caravan reached the wooden 

bridge was found dead Oyuela. Had supposedly 

died of a heart attack, but who caused it? What I 

saw in those bushes?

Another case was that of Mrs. Eugenia, working 

woman living in Arenales. He passed the one place. 

It is not known what he saw, but travelers found 

her walking and talking one on the way. It was 

crazy.

The strange events in the passage from death 

forced travelers to pass through the place in large 

groups and day, never in the evening or night.

THE MAGIC STONE OF PYRENE

Cordovan   (Ordobés) is a small town in the 

"Guarguera", ie close to Guarga River in Serrablo. 

Getting there is easy by car, just take the exit to 

Boltanya a signal that indicates anything down the 

Port of Monrepós, towards Jaca. It is a small 

village, consisting of two houses, one of which at 

least is inhabited, not even seasonally, and 

dedicated to the farm sheep. Highlights of this city 

its charming church dedicated to St. Martin, with a 

tower with two holes for bells, and which visitors 

since in no very distant date was restored.

Core typical high mountain population Aragonese, 

really beautiful. But today I came here for another 

reason, again related to traditional culture, beliefs 

and esoteric. This is to confirm the existence of the 

so-called "Stone Ordovés" famous in this area of 

the Pyrenees for their healing powers for both 

people and livestock.

Aunt Pelagatos

One of these ghosts with lantern appeared in a 

village field Borja. an

white shadow walking through the orchards 

and fields at dusk. Aunt warned Pelagatos

all the neighbors how dangerous it was to go 

out at night to the outskirts of town. neighbors

were checking as one lacked pears, another 

onions, tomatoes another

and so every day. Strange that someone had a 

ghost wandering the value of

out to steal, unless it was the same ghost. e.

Gathered neighbors and town hall

they decided to go for it. Finally it was 

discovered that the ghost was Aunt Pelagatos. 

yet

is reminiscent of "Aunt Pelagatos" in the region, 

where the next song is sung:

To Aunt Pelagatos
