Casa Matusita haunting tradition

Record summary

Casa Matusita is a well-known Lima urban legend concerning a supposedly haunted building near the Plaza San Martín. Late twentieth-century and early twenty-first-century Peruvian media, tourism writing, and internet discussions circulated stories of violent apparitions and frightening experiences inside the house. The lead matters for comparing how a central-city property becomes a durable haunting site through repetition. The building’s history, ownership, accessibility, and the evidentiary basis of specific anecdotes remain uncertain and should be separated from later sensational retellings.
