“I was born and still live in Uruguay, and since I was little, I’ve known the story of ‘Clara la Loca.’ The legend is based on real events: A girl named Clara grew up in a mansion, and she then became married. She had problems within her marriage, and she ended up becoming extremely mentally unwell. Rather than getting her help, she was locked away in her room, where she died. Today, that mansion is the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum, and it’s said to be haunted. The room where Clara was locked up remains closed to the public, but in one room, there’s a painting of Clara as a child. Many people who’ve visited, myself included, have felt Clara’s gaze in the painting following you as you walk by.”
