The Woman in White in the Recoleta.

Well, this legend is almost known to everybody ... no kidding, because this spectrum appears everywhere and every place has a different story ...
Although the world is the legend that says that the Ladies in White are women who were deceived by their husbands and in a fit of madness, murder their children and then commit suicide ... that is why we are doomed to wander through all that suffering eternity ...
There are many myths about "The Lady in White" but I will focus on two, who were the locals more comment ...

The classic area legend says that a young man meets a beautiful girl, takes her to dance or drink, she feels cold, he lends his coat, she coffee stain.
The next day, when the young man wants his bag at the home of the girl, her mother announces that she is dead, buried in Recoleta.
The young man goes to the cemetery and found his bag on the vault. Crazy. Or commit suicide ...

The other story that caught my attention, that: Rufina Cambaceres, a young aristocrat, the daughter of Eugenio Cambaceres a writer of the 1800s and Louise Baccini, when his father died of tuberculosis, his mother happened to be the "favorite" Hipolito Yrigoyen (our only bachelor president).
Rufina that time had already served fourteen years, was very gracious and number of young men roamed the old house of Montes de Oca, without however obtaining favors. She knew she loved, with the silence that characterized her.
The year was 1902, some talk about 1903 ... but was on 31 May when he met Rufina nineteen, and Louise had arranged a major celebration to end then night at the Teatro Colon opera enjoying a role. Such were the plans. However, the fate pulled the strings in a different sense.
The story goes that day Rufina nineteenth birthday, he received from the lips of her close friend a revelation that would trigger the subsequent events. Well, the very boyfriend of the girl having an affair with his beautiful mother, who were lovers. The impact that produced this confidence caused such excruciating pain Rufina, who literally tore his heart and killed him instantly.
One of the doctors present diagnosed with syncope. Three physicians certified that Rufina was dead.
Hipolito Yrigoyen took care to accompany Louise and bury his remains in the Recoleta.
However, this dismal story was not over yet, the horror was just beginning.
A few days later, the keeper of the vault of Cambaceres must notify Luisa who discovered the lid open and broken the coffin of Rufina. The coffin had moved, and when they opened, they found the girl's face and hands scratched and bruised.
It is said that Rufina was the victim of an attack of catalepsy and awoke in the darkness of the grave to give up and die again after a desolate and barren fight.
Officially it was stated that it had been a theft, since the child had been buried with her jewels more lucid, yet he lived to Louise the rest of his life remorse for knowledge and certainty that her daughter had suffered a catalepsy attack and he was buried alive.
It is said that the young Rufina, wanders among the vaults at night, crying for love with her broken heart ...

Among the other members of clowns and circus dwarf was a Romanian name Belek. I did not want anyone, and when animals started dying, bleeding, suspected him. The suspicion was confirmed when I found eating a squirrel monkey star of the circus clown. Belek had to flee to avoid lynching.

That story also cites in this book, The Wonderful World of the Circus, Dick Stevenson, 1987, published by Oxford University Press

Belek had to take refuge in an abandoned house in the Bajo Flores, after that.

At first, the neighbors who saw him as someone took it quiet, though incomprehensible, although over time the thing turned around. Seeking witnesses of fact, the interviewers came to a house where an old bore boots - pierced by the teeth of Belek -.

He said that, at first, like the stray cats found dead, nobody bothered much, but later came to attack people, and by 8:30 pm no one dared to leave the house. The narrator says, was saved because he came to escape the dwarf (who had already chewed up a bit) and get to a store, while the dwarf fought (and killed) the dog.

After that, they sought, entered the house day and did not find him, only his books.

The district began using reinforced boots on those nights, as that of catching the legs of the victim was common Belek.
