His Niece: Making Noise with Rosie Juarez - WTF El Paso Podcast #7
The name Richard Ramirez is etched into the dark history of American True Crime as a monster who terrorized California in the 1980s. But long before the headlines and the "Night Stalker’s" rise to fame, he was just a kid from El Paso. And to a little girl named Rosie, he was simply Tío Richie. In this episode of Weird Tales from El Paso, we’re moving beyond the paranormal to focus on a story of healing and survival. I sit down with Rosie Juarez to discuss her new memoir, His Niece:“Love Always, Your Tio Richie” and the Silence That Followed. This is a grounded conversation about a childhood caught between ordinary family moments and extraordinary trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and the light on the other side of a thirty-year silence. Order the memoir here. Special Guests: Rosie Juarez, Author of His Niece : “Love Always, Your Tio Richie” and the Silence That Followed https://www.rosierjuarez.com/ Show Notes Available at https://www.bluelabpro.com/wtfelpasoblog/wtfelpaso7

The Devil’s Dance at El Carrusel - WTF El Paso Podcast #6
Who doesn’t like to cut loose and have a fun night full of live music and dancing? Just be careful who you end up partying with, because along the border, you might just end up dancing with the Devil himself… In this episode of Weird Tales from El Paso, we take on one of the Borderland’s most chilling urban legends: The Devil’s dance at El Carrusel in Juarez, Mexico. With countless versions of the tale spreading across the Southwest, we explore why this legend has endured for generations and ask the biggest question of all: did it really happen? So lace up your dancing shoes and step onto a dance floor where folklore and history blur into one unforgettable tale. Follow us on our new Facebook page! Special Guests: Dr. Meredith E. Abarca, Professor of Food Studies and Literature at The University of Texas at El Paso and former Vice President and President of the Texas Folklore Society.

The Hauntings of the Doña Ana County Courthouse & Jail - WTF El Paso Podcast #5
After uncovering the jail’s dark history in Part 1, we return after dark to investigate the hauntings that have made the Old Doña Ana County Courthouse and Jail one of the most haunted jails in the Southwest. With shadow figures, disembodied voices, and hidden tragedies still echoing through its halls, it’s obvious the entities still “living” inside the jail want to make themselves known, whether you want them to or not. Plus, stick around to hear some shocking and unexplainable audio we captured inside the jail during the production of these episodes. Special Guests: David Crider, owner and founder of Southwest Expeditions Ramiro Galvan, Independent Paranormal Investigator and founder of “Paranormal Research Investigations” - PRI - in El Paso, TX Facebook, Instagram, YouTube Show Notes Available at https://www.bluelabpro.com/blog/wtfelpaso4-5
