Selección Terror: La tumba de la señora Scott
This Spanish-language horror serial "La tumba de la señora Scott" (The Tomb of Mrs. Scott) by Silver Kane follows supernatural murders in Cumberland. Old Samuel Burns dies of fright after glimpsing the apparition of Mrs. Scott, a woman buried over a century prior. Doctor Ransom, who champions the region's supernatural nature through academic work, theorizes that Mrs. Scott's ghost has risen to avenge the planned destruction of her cemetery. Engineer Donovan questions this explanation. The narrative shifts to engineer Thompson aboard a Liverpool mail train, who witnesses a Victorian-dressed elderly woman—pale, with claw-like hands and an eerie smile—matching Mrs. Scott's portrait. She mysteriously boards his private compartment and kills him with enormous scissors, severing his neck with gruesome precision before the text breaks off mid-passage.
