KTLA's 11 o'clock news broadcast a story last night I thought was so weird I decided to blog about it. It's a story rooted in a tragedy that some will say has a "weird" epilogue. You decide.
Last night Rialto fire and police departments red-tagged a house transformed into a Halloween haunted house. It was deemed "unsafe" for the public to walk through due to the damaged infrastructure.
So what's so weird about that?
Apparently this same house caught fire 5 months ago, and sadly 2 of the 11 occupants died, Mario Cisneros, 5, and his 3-year-old brother, David Cisneros, as the result of smoke inhalation.
But where the story gets really weird is the mother of the boys, Viviana "Dulce" Delgado, 27, decided to transform the front yard and charred house into a Halloween haunted house for strangers to enjoy!
She decorated with skeletons, cobwebs, creepy signs, tomb stones, and adorned the entrance with a banner, "In Loving Memory of Deedo and Taco." Visitors could walk the same hallways and enter the same rooms where her little boys died. On the front lawn, some of their toys were displayed in a planter."This is the way I'm coping with the loss of my two kids," Delgado told the KTLA reporter. "We used to do Halloween every year. Costumes, candy and fun. It's my way of saying happy Halloween to my kids."
"My kids would have loved this." she said. "There's nothing I can do to bring them back. This is something I need to do."
Since the Halloween attraction is now off limits to the public, Delgado will not be able to make improvements she wanted, including pony rides, flashing lights and scary Halloween mood music.
"Since it's a haunted house, it has to be some kind of scary," she said.
