Spooky Spotlight: The Blue Angel & Gabe Salazar

The name is gained from the blue hue that she adorns when light is shining through the window of her mausoleum. The hand which would hold the rose was cut off of her statue, but many say that it will reappear at night, as she waits for her next victim. 

Other witnesses of the angel say that they’ve heard screaming from her humble abode, or that when approaching her cement home the sky will turn red. 

With this kind of story, you would think that many would be too afraid to even step foot in the cemetery she resides in. However, this didn’t scare away MHS superstar, Gabe Salazar. This senior is loud and proud, and that doesn’t change when he’s getting ready for some spooky fun.

“I was in the area, walking up to the plot of the Blue Angel, and then all of the sudden the sounds of nature just stopped. Everything went silent and it felt still. As I was approaching the angel herself, I felt a chill down my spine and I found myself stuck in place, feeling more and more drawn to it,” he said.

But this was no normal coincidence of natural phenomena, and Gabe recognizes that himself.

“I was drawn to it as if a moth to flame. And when I was able to step away from the angel, things immediately went back to the way they were before I went into her realm. The wind started blowing again, the sounds of nature returned, and I could feel the warmth of the sun hit me. It was like I was in a different atmosphere entirely,” he said.

But this terrifying experience didn't scare this brave Muskie away.

“I’d actually love to see the angel again, but maybe the next time with a few friends. I’m still interested in finding out the explanation behind everything that happened that would be described as “paranormal,” as well as just learning about more of the history.”
