1 Hora 30 Minutos De Relatos Aterradores De Brujas Y Demonios Que Te Quitarán El SUEÑO · Niebla en el bosque con Evelith von

• 0:04
  In the village from which my parents originate, there is a legend about witches.
• 0:10
  They are said to fly in a broom. There are times when they
• 0:14
  become fireballs or owls, just as when they travel through the sky a scary
• 0:19
  noise is heard that shakes at least the believer. You have to be careful
• 0:26
  when you go through the nights, because you can steal the soul. That
• 0:31
  ' s part of the imagination of the locals. I wasn' t born
• 0:36
  in that town, so I know little of this legend. When my parents
• 0:41
  were young, they decided to move to the city so that we would have
• 0:46
  a better future. That did not prevent us from meeting frequently next to our
• 0:51
  relatives in the village. Ever since I was little. I liked to get
• 0:56
  close to listening to adult talks because somehow they always alluded to extraordinary things that
• 1:00
  exist in that place. At night I would observe the sky so that I
• 1:07
  could see everything that was said about them. However, I never got to
• 1:12
  see any witches. The strange thing was that the adults affirmed events to them.
• 1:21
  For example, a number of men were gathered around the Kiosk one day.
• 1:25
  Among them was Don Cleto, who had already taken some mezcales and intended
• 1:30
  to continue the drunkenness in the neighborhood of Cantería. His friends did not want
• 1:37
  to accompany him, but he insisted that they go to a canteen that was
• 1:41
  in that place. After several attempts, they dissuaded him from being dangerous because
• 1:46
  he could look like a owl. I was crouching behind a leafy tree that
• 1:53
  was very close to them. With caution. I turned to heaven to see
• 1:59
  if it was so true what they said, but I didn' t see
• 2:02
  any birds flying. I was willing to retire from the place because I thought
• 2:07
  they were just meaningless words. In that I heard Don Juan clearly saying that
• 2:12
  they appeared not only in the neighborhood of Cantería, but also in other neighborhoods,
• 2:16
  but mainly they liked to perform their strange spells and black masses on the
• 2:23
  hill of death. According to what I have heard, they like that hill
• 2:28
  because a lot of blood spilled on it, which is conducive to their practices.
• 2:35
  Don Cleto continued his talk. He said that when they become owls,
• 2:38
  they lie on the trees to be stalked by people passing through that place.
• 2:46
  When an unwary walks along that path, they let themselves go over the faces
• 2:50
  of the people and with their strong nails, as well as their philosophers,
• 2:54
  they tear out their eyes and tongues. I didn' t want to stay
• 2:59
  here any longer, writing Don Cleto off talking about all the aberrations they were
• 3:02
  doing. I cannot deny that, because of my age and the way in
• 3:06
  which Don Cleto assured his existence, if I was very afraid, I preferred
• 3:10
  to walk away and try not to believe in everything I heard. By that
• 3:15
  time. My mother was already looking for me in despair. I told him
• 3:19
  I was listening to the gentlemen' s talks. She told me not to
• 3:23
  believe anything they said in town. They were just gossip about people to entertain
• 3:29
  themselves in something. I felt confident and calm with what my mother told me.
• 3:34
  She was from that place and knew better than anyone what was said and
• 3:38
  what happened there over time. Little by little, visits to my parents’
• 3:44
  place of origin were spaced out because of occupations that each one of us had
• 3:50
  a telephone call one day, and we were told of my grandfather’ s
• 3:54
  death, Paterno, we were preparing to attend the funeral. I think it
• 3:57
  ' s been a long time after I to l or the children' s
• 4:00
  meeting, now we cousins had become young. After the funerals ended, we
• 4:08
  were able to get together and talk as we did when we were little.
• 4:13
  Not all of us left town, there were relatives and friends who stayed there.
• 4:18
  I was very happy to meet with people I cherish who haven' t
• 4:24
  seen them in so long. Among them was I, one of my best
• 4:28
  friends in childhood. When she saw me, I thought it would give her
• 4:32
  the same taste as me. However, I saw her distant and unloving.
• 4:38
  She was trying to get away at all costs. I looked for the right
• 4:43
  time to talk to Adela until I got there. I hugged her with warmth
• 4:47
  and she just said a simple wave and withdrew. For a few minutes.
• 4:54
  I stood by watching his retreat. I couldn' t understand her distance at
• 5:00
  the time if as a child we were accomplices of more than two pranks,
• 5:03
  but I also knew that her mother had little time that she had passed away,
• 5:09
  so I didn' t want to insist on another time it would be
• 5:12
  convenient to talk to her. The unexpected death of a young son of Don
• 5:15
  Juan occurred in the village. He was supposed to have drowned in the river.
• 5:20
  The strange thing about this event is that he was one of the best
• 5:25
  swimmers. Whenever we were going to bathe the river, he encouraged us to
• 5:28
  go into the deepest part of it. Most of us argued that we didn
• 5:34
  ' t know how to swim. Instead, he gave himself the luxury of
• 5:36
  doing all kinds of pirouettes without having any mishap. We attended Mario' s
• 5:43
  funeral. There we managed to match several of those that we were playmates also
• 5:47
  found Adela, who stayed away in a place where she preferred not to be
• 5:53
  seen. However, on this occasion I decided to have an approach with her.
• 6:00
  At first he merely sketched a slight smile, apologized and withdrew from the
• 6:04
  place. This time I wouldn' t let her go. I needed to
• 6:10
  know how she was. After what happened to her mother, when I managed
• 6:14
  to reach her, she told me it was preferable to leave her alone.
• 6:17
  He didn' t want to hurt me. After these words, Adela began
• 6:23
  to cry. She told me that her mother' s death hurt her,
• 6:27
  but more so than she did after she was buried. At that moment I
• 6:31
  did not understand how strong his words were. We' re just meeting somewhere
• 6:36
  else so we can talk to Calma. The next day. We met in
• 6:41
  a quiet place. She told me that if I could accompany her to the
• 6:46
  cemetery to bring flowers to her mother' s grave, I had no objection
• 6:50
  to doing so. On the contrary, I was very pleased to be asked
• 6:54
  to accompany her at noon and the cemetery was a bit like the one that
• 6:59
  occurred after the death of someone else in the village. In the distance we
• 7:03
  heard the weeping of the mourners, some laments, as well as the murmuring
• 7:09
  of the prayers, as we moved away from that tomb. Everything was heard
• 7:14
  as a mild painful whisper. Upon arriving at Adela' s mother' s
• 7:18
  tomb, I was surprised to see that she still did not have a cement
• 7:24
  tombstone. I only had the cluster of freshly removed earth. The cross was
• 7:29
  made of wood on which they placed the inscription of the woman, but she
• 7:32
  was on one side carefully, as we give the earth, which had spread
• 7:38
  on the sides, as well as her cross. I was about to make
• 7:43
  a short prayer for Adela' s mother. Suddenly she stopped me. He
• 7:47
  put his index finger in my mouth, signaling me to remain silent. I
• 7:54
  didn' t understand, but I wanted to do what she told me on
• 7:59
  our return. Adela told me that she was afraid that her mother' s
• 8:01
  spirit was not resting under the shade of a leafy tree in the cemetery.
• 8:09
  Adela shared with me that since her mother' s death she was dreaming of
• 8:13
  her every day in her dream. She told him that she would soon return
• 8:18
  that she would not be sad because of her absence, since in a short
• 8:22
  time she would be with her again. Similarly, he told me that his
• 8:26
  mother always caught his attention to hidden things. On one occasion she learned of
• 8:31
  a healer who made healings through herbalism and other methods. It was in his
• 8:39
  search in a nearby town. From that time on, her mother went with
• 8:41
  that woman, she didn' t stop going. Very often I visited her
• 8:46
  with the argument that she went for herbs that made her feel good. That
• 8:52
  wasn' t all right. Time passed. He noticed changes in his mother
• 8:56
  ' s behavior. Suddenly he heard him talking to someone He also heard strange
• 9:03
  sounds. Very late in the night, once she was awake to know what
• 9:09
  her mother was doing at night, as on several occasions she saw her coming
• 9:13
  out of the street that night that she got up at 1 a m,
• 9:18
  she heard her talking to a fetish she herself had made, which gave the
• 9:22
  appearance of a doll that she deposited in a metal box and kept in her
• 9:26
  closet. Then he left at that time walking towards the cemetery. I didn
• 9:33
  ' t have a chance to follow her, because she seemed to move very
• 9:39
  lightly all of a sudden. He lost sight of her only made a distinction
• 9:43
  that she introduced herself to the pantheon and no longer wanted to follow her because
• 9:46
  she was afraid of her. Since Adela' s mother met that woman in
• 9:50
  the village of Aledaño, her behavior was increasingly erratic and chilling, because she
• 9:56
  did strange rituals and even heard her speak in a language she did not understand.
• 10:03
  One day, his health began to deteriorate until he fell into bed.
• 10:07
  The village doctor said that he did not understand the reason for his illness,
• 10:13
  he had already ordered him to do several studies. He certainly could not establish
• 10:18
  a pattern of disease. He gave her vitamins, serums, medications that could
• 10:24
  improve her decay, but nothing worked. One day she died in the same
• 10:30
  translucent color as Mario had. Strange things happened during his funeral. There was
• 10:37
  a time when all Syrians went out for no apparent reason. Someone turned us
• 10:41
  on again, but it was a few moments when the room where his mother
• 10:46
  was being watched was completely dark and now every time he went to his grave
• 10:50
  he was as if someone had removed it. By the words of his own
• 10:56
  mother. I knew the land of Pantheon has powers to stop, to perform
• 11:00
  evil rituals. Adela told me she was afraid that someone was using that land
• 11:05
  to do some curse or some black mass. We go back to our homes
• 11:11
  quietly. I didn' t know what to think about everything he told me.
• 11:16
  Adela knew it was true, but she didn' t understand how it
• 11:20
  all happened around her. Adela asked me to help her find the truth because
• 11:24
  she was already afraid of what was happening. I said yes, not knowing
• 11:30
  how he was going to do it. I talked to my relatives about Adela
• 11:35
  ' s mother They told me it was no secret that her mother was involved
• 11:39
  in strange things. They knew that the woman with whom she related knew her
• 11:46
  as the witch, because whoever came to her for some illness was healed,
• 11:50
  but Adela' s mother' s case was different. She, on the
• 11:54
  contrary, had died. Again Adela and I went to the Lord Again we
• 12:01
  found the earth removed. It seemed as if every day they moved the remains
• 12:05
  of the place. We stayed there for a long time without finding any answers.
• 12:11
  When we returned, we both agreed that it was necessary to go to
• 12:16
  the pantheon at another time with some fear, we decided that we would return
• 12:22
  to it at night. Just the idea of being in the cemetery at night
• 12:26
  terrified me, but my friend insisted that strange phenomena were happening around her.
• 12:31
  He always had the feeling of being watched and since his mother died he heard
• 12:37
  the squawking of a bird that lasted a long time on the roof of his
• 12:41
  house. That day we went to the cemetery in the afternoon. Adela and
• 12:46
  I were hiding behind a forgotten tomb. As the night watchman went on to
• 12:52
  perform his check- up routine, we both went unnoticed little by little.
• 12:56
  That was being left in absolute silence. The full moon allowed us to have
• 13:01
  light in the graves for a long time. We sat with our eyes fixed
• 13:07
  on Adela' s mother' s resting place. It was creepy to hear
• 13:11
  any noise around, like the birds greasing in the trees. Other than that,
• 13:18
  we didn' t see anything out of the ordinary. Very early in
• 13:22
  the morning I was drowsy with my eyes closed when I heard a strange noise
• 13:28
  It was the squawking of a bird, which fell on the sand and began
• 13:33
  to peck at it. He removed the land for a while and then left.
• 13:37
  Apart from the bird that landed on the grave. We find nothing strange,
• 13:43
  knowing that if we hear cries and cries drowned, although rather I believe
• 13:48
  that everything was the result of our fear or the energy of all the people
• 13:52
  who come to him himself. Death was the mystery of all space beginning at
• 13:58
  dawn. When we left the place, it was necessary to jump it close
• 14:05
  in order to emerge the sunlight began to spread everywhere. I realized that in
• 14:09
  the dark you see the darkest things. With daylight you feel more secure.
• 14:16
  We got to Adela' s house. She invited me over for coffee.
• 14:22
  We started chatting about fun activities during our childhood. It was the first time
• 14:28
  I saw her laughing. We found ourselves submerged in anecdotes when suddenly a loud
• 14:33
  noise was heard in the back room. We both ran inland. I went
• 14:41
  ahead and I came to distinguish a shadow that ran behind the house. Adela
• 14:46
  went straight to the room. On the contrary, I followed myself to the
• 14:50
  backyard to identify that it had been that shadow I saw however, in the
• 14:56
  courtyard I found nothing. I went back with Adela to the room. She
• 15:03
  discovered her mother' s closet. Open. In it was the doll that
• 15:07
  his mother had made. My friend took it and threw it in the trash
• 15:13
  can. She told me that, without knowing why I felt her mother'
• 15:18
  s presence as if somehow she wanted to communicate something to her, we said
• 15:22
  goodbye and I withdrew to my house. Along the way I went thinking that
• 15:28
  it was all the strange thing that happened around Adela' s mother. While
• 15:33
  it was true that her mother had engaged in strange activities, she did not
• 15:39
  have to pursue her. Finally, Adela never agreed on all the fetishism she
• 15:43
  practiced. I found myself immersed in my thoughts that I did not realize that
• 15:50
  a bird was only following me until I heard a squawk. I turned around
• 15:54
  to find out where it came from. It was a black owl. It
• 16:00
  was quite strange that at those hours of the day the owl was following me,
• 16:04
  as I understand that they are night animals that during the day sleep and
• 16:10
  at night are awake. The owl practically followed me home. Throughout the journey
• 16:15
  he issued a severe squawk that bothered my ears. I speeded up to see
• 16:22
  if I could get lost from the bird' s sight, but when I
• 16:26
  managed to turn quickly on a street, I thought I' d already lost
• 16:29
  it. Later, she was waiting for me on the branch of a tree.
• 16:34
  Apparently, I knew where I was going shortly before I entered my house.
• 16:40
  The owl took off the tree and headed for me I immediately entered my
• 16:45
  house. Very little was missing for the bird to crash in the glass of
• 16:49
  the door, already inside. My mother asked me what was wrong with me.
• 16:55
  I told her an owl was following me from Adela' s house.
• 16:57
  She was thoughtful and told me to be careful. When a bird of that
• 17:03
  kind finds herself awake, it' s because he' s looking for something.
• 17:07
  I retired to my room to rest. The dream overcame me and I
• 17:12
  forgot about it in the afternoon. Adela came looking for me at my house.
• 17:18
  She told me it was urgent that I accompany her. Upon arriving at
• 17:22
  the house, we found the room in complete disorder. Apparently, someone was
• 17:26
  looking for something, but we didn' t know who he was or what
• 17:30
  he was looking for. I stayed the rest of the day to keep my
• 17:34
  friend company. Strange events no longer occurred, but when it was dark,
• 17:38
  we heard a bird squawking. We looked out at the window and we could
• 17:45
  see a owl standing between the branches of the tree. I stayed home that
• 17:49
  night. We had a nice evening in the morning I retired to my house.
• 17:56
  As I walked through the streets they eat to see several people gathered at
• 18:02
  one point I approached to know what was happening. Immediately, a man told
• 18:07
  me that they had found a young man dead on the street. I asked
• 18:11
  what the cause was, but they didn' t know exactly what had happened.
• 18:18
  They just explained to me that he left work too late and didn'
• 18:22
  t get home anymore. They gave themselves the task of looking for him until
• 18:26
  they found him dead on a street sidewalk to the young man. The authorities
• 18:30
  had already taken him, so I didn' t get a chance to see
• 18:34
  him, but a woman told me she had seen him. His face was
• 18:38
  imprinted with the fright of what he saw. I withdrew from the place dismayed
• 18:45
  by what happened. I was already away from the group of people when in
• 18:48
  the distance I heard that surely again a witch was walking around the town,
• 18:53
  that it was better that they no longer left at night to avoid another tragedy.
• 18:59
  When I got home, my mother was already aware of what happened.
• 19:03
  She told me that she had never believed in those stories circulating in the village,
• 19:07
  but it was better to be careful. He also shared with me that
• 19:11
  the next day we were going back to the city. Before I left,
• 19:15
  I went to say goodbye to Adela on the way home. Again I saw
• 19:19
  a bird standing in a tree. I didn' t want to take the
• 19:25
  necessary importance. I think if most of the villagers were in a state of
• 19:27
  complete paranoia, Adela found her very dismayed. She told me she was afraid
• 19:34
  that the young man' s death would have been her mother' s fault.
• 19:38
  I told him I had no reason to believe that much less evidence.
• 19:44
  She replied that if she had them, she showed me her hands. He
• 19:48
  had red shirt buttons on them. I didn' t understand what he was
• 19:56
  trying to tell me He told me that he had found them outside the house
• 20:00
  on the bench of his garden and knew that the work uniform of the nearby
• 20:03
  company was red. I didn' t want to say a word to Adela
• 20:07
  anymore. I just hugged her and said goodbye to her. I went home.
• 20:12
  The bird continued to follow me until I entered the house. I left
• 20:18
  the village doubting the truthfulness of the facts. The villagers, like Adela,
• 20:22
  claimed that everything was the product of a witch, but I could never see
• 20:26
  any. One day in July of the two thousand and fifteen we went to
• 20:38
  a service on the road. That went to Guzman City. Passing Chapala,
• 20:44
  armed men reported. We were my partner Ricardo and I were on duty that
• 20:49
  night, so we had to respond to the call. I' ve been
• 20:56
  working for 15 years as a Federal and I' ve never had anything like
• 21:00
  this happen to me. I don' t know how to explain or judge
• 21:03
  what happened to us. That morning. We had left Guadalajara. It was
• 21:07
  a Monday. I remember it was cloudy. We were having coffee in an
• 21:12
  ox. When we got the alert, it was about to rain. The
• 21:17
  lightnings made the road look gloomy, lonely and dark, and the wet cold
• 21:22
  began to feel strong. We saw how wild animals ran to Refuge seemed to
• 21:29
  be one of those raging storms. At the end of July we went to
• 21:34
  verify a report of armed men among the crops. It was not unusual for
• 21:38
  us to be sent a code of this type, but we persected and imagined
• 21:44
  the best that there was a quarrel between peasants, so we got together,
• 21:49
  took the truck and moved at full speed to the point. We had been
• 21:55
  told that the report had arrived at eleven o' clock at forty o'
• 21:59
  clock at night. It was a civilian who had passed by in his self
• 22:03
  - compact who said he was headed for columa. When he stopped to go
• 22:06
  to the bathroom in the middle of the road, he gave a silhouette of
• 22:11
  a couple of men with some long guns. We had to confirm the sighting
• 22:17
  to judge how to proceed if so. I remember what we lived through that
• 22:22
  night as a nightmare or a hallucination. But if it weren' t,
• 22:26
  because I was going with my partner and there was an audio recording left,
• 22:32
  I never thought it was real. At that moment driving to the kilometre we
• 22:37
  were mentioned as the spot of sighting. We were enveloped in a desolate environment.
• 22:42
  There were no lights on and we realized that we were completely alone.
• 22:48
  It was past midnight. Civilians were no longer passing. There weren' t
• 22:53
  a lot of fellow patrolmen out there either. Already on the road there are
• 23:00
  many things happening, there are people standing up, there are problems with cars,
• 23:06
  tires are put on, someone is going to rest, but at that
• 23:08
  moment nothing happened. Everything was like a single silent, dark pantheon. The
• 23:15
  storm was following us. We felt the humid atmosphere, the lightnings and thunders
• 23:21
  alerted us that it was already raining, so the idea was to hurry.
• 23:26
  The storm was going to catch up with us. We wouldn' t see
• 23:29
  anything. So those guys could shoot us without a problem. We got out
• 23:34
  of the van, went straight to take refuge on one side of it.
• 23:40
  We didn' t see anything, but we took the safest side of the
• 23:45
  fenced terrain. We knew it would be easier to see from there if someone
• 23:49
  came or pointed at us. The problem was the terrain with the big corn
• 23:55
  cobs. We gave the arrival code by radio and started moving from one side
• 24:00
  of the road to the other. We were looking for people hidden in the
• 24:07
  fields We were also alert to smell, gunpowder or some unusual noise. We
• 24:11
  didn' t see anything. We jumped the fence, walked a few meters
• 24:17
  always stuck to places where we could hide We were looking the best we could
• 24:22
  with the little light we had, since between the flashlights and the lights of
• 24:27
  the truck we could not fully light the suspicious places. So we spent the
• 24:33
  first few minutes with the adrenaline of being looking for the suspects, but it
• 24:38
  all came to nothing. We didn' t find any prints. We began
• 24:44
  to think that the report was false, but on the radio we were told
• 24:48
  that another report had come telling us the same thing. It was that same
• 24:52
  kilometer where they claimed to have seen two men on the side of the road
• 24:57
  holding a couple of long guns, but they looked like old with wooden handle.
• 25:03
  We were also informed that the characteristics were those of two young men between
• 25:08
  the ages of fifteen and twenty, dressed lightly, with white shirts and very
• 25:15
  alert brown pants. We moved back down the road. We took a few
• 25:19
  laps to conclude that we would have to get into the Seed. It was
• 25:22
  the only place we hadn' t looked well. The only thing that stopped
• 25:27
  us was the permission to proceed, because that land was completely planted and if
• 25:33
  there was a confrontation in it, we could damage civil heritage. We needed
• 25:40
  the green light to continue on what we were waiting for permission. We sat
• 25:45
  inside the van to get some rest before anything. Ricardo texted his wife.
• 25:52
  I told her we were in a routine service, but there was something weird
• 25:56
  that didn' t give her a good spin and that' s why I
• 26:00
  sent her a good night message with a few words for the kids. I
• 26:03
  didn' t even scold him I knew if we were really about to get
• 26:10
  into a trap, but he was there mortifying his wife. I didn'
• 26:14
  t say or do anything like that. I just put on a cigarette.
• 26:17
  I smoked it with so much pleasure and tranquility that if I had died that
• 26:22
  day I would have been completely at peace. Every smoke I put my life
• 26:26
  in. Then I got him on the radio because he was listening like there
• 26:32
  was interference. I heard something weird, like a voice far away from the
• 26:36
  radio, so I decided to do some research on what I was hearing.
• 26:40
  Maybe the nerves were betraying me. I made some movements to the device and
• 26:45
  raised the volume, while Ricardo was still with his cell phone I got a
• 26:52
  little closer to the radio, because that interference was taking on a rather strange
• 26:57
  tone, because it wasn' t a single voice that I could hear.
• 27:00
  There were several people I distinguished by speaking began to raise the murmurs and were
• 27:07
  heard more and more clearly. Ricardo could no longer ignore it, so he
• 27:11
  left what he was doing to focus on what I was hearing. Well,
• 27:18
  of course, I remember you telling me that it was impossible to hear that,
• 27:22
  that the radio was wrong to turn it on and off, but clearly
• 27:27
  we heard a talk was between a woman who was asking for mercy and some
• 27:33
  men who were arguing about bringing tools. Or so I understood, Ricardo despaired
• 27:37
  and began to move him to the radio, told me that we were picking
• 27:41
  up some open signal or something like that was still in his maneuvers. When
• 27:47
  he stopped in a dry channel. That' s where that woman' s
• 27:51
  voice was heard. He heard himself crying, seemed to make some prayers.
• 27:56
  Other men laughed. Then the sound of a few horses began to increase r
• 28:00
  until it became jittery in our ears. It was a lot of people listening
• 28:04
  to each other. Everyone seemed to talk, scream, run, give orders.
• 28:11
  I realized I' d heard something like that before. It was equal
• 28:15
  to sounds, to some search or chase operation. Ricardo persignantly told me that
• 28:22
  this came from another world because there was nothing like it. We' d
• 28:26
  have heard it by now. Or seen told me everything was dark. We
• 28:32
  could only see the empty road with what came to give birth to the lighthouses.
• 28:37
  From there on, we didn' t distinguish anything. The animals had
• 28:41
  long been running for shelter because it followed the stormy weather, but it didn
• 28:45
  ' t start raining where we were. I was thinking seriously that I had
• 28:52
  had a lot of coffee or had been affected by the afternoon operation because I
• 28:56
  didn' t believe what my ears kept hearing. Instead, Ricardo was convinced
• 29:02
  that these were souls in sorrow that we had stumbled upon something inexplicable where we
• 29:07
  could hear the souls fighting for their lives. So scared but fascinated by all
• 29:14
  that, he put his cell phone near the radio horn and started recording.
• 29:19
  I wanted to ask him what the hell he was doing, but I dropped
• 29:23
  it. He put his right index finger on his lips. He was doing
• 29:29
  that recording as proof of what was happening to us, but I kept thinking
• 29:33
  it wasn' t the big deal. I just re- charged myself in
• 29:37
  the seat. I said no more. After about four or five minutes he
• 29:41
  stopped recording and headed towards me. He asked me why those sounds weren'
• 29:47
  t over, because they kept going if it had been too long. Its
• 29:52
  duration was unnatural. Usually when such things happen like persecutions or quarrels between cartels
• 29:57
  everything ends quickly, a bullet or two and we were no longer contacted to
• 30:03
  give us the order to enter the Seed and we saw how the raindrops began
• 30:08
  to wet the windshield. Now we were screwed with the rain. Things were
• 30:15
  going to get more complicated. Even though I said that, the rain was
• 30:19
  not rushing. It remained thin and away almost like a breeze, but what
• 30:26
  was increasing was the ghostly sound of those voices through the radio. I don
• 30:32
  ' t know how to explain it. Well, it was a deep static.
• 30:36
  The sounds were distorted mostly, but among that noise we distinguished the voice
• 30:41
  of people crying. First she was a woman, then some men, also
• 30:47
  fleetingly. We watched a laugh, then some horse lynchings as if they were
• 30:52
  running or scared. There were also some very strange metallic sounds. It wasn
• 30:57
  ' t normal that creaking of something like footsteps, punches or breaking things We
• 31:06
  were very confused listening as well as intrigued, so we slowly hit the radio
• 31:11
  to hear better. We jumped out of our seats when they suddenly came into
• 31:18
  our ears detonations were shooting at us or so we thought immediately. We crouched,
• 31:23
  we searched nearby from the windows, but we didn' t see anything.
• 31:29
  We got out of the van, started digging down. We had to
• 31:33
  find out who was shooting us for adrenaline. We did not realize when those
• 31:38
  strange sounds were stopped on the radio and we began to hear the call of
• 31:45
  the link. They were asking us if we were still there. We didn
• 31:48
  ' t hear any more shots Ricardo threw himself into the van to answer the
• 31:55
  call. They told us they were already afraid of the worst because we had
• 32:00
  more than an hour without answering. We look unbelieving. We had not felt
• 32:05
  that more than ten or twenty minutes passed, so we began to wait for
• 32:08
  the answer and we listened to the noises from the static of the radio.
• 32:14
  I took the radio to warn that we were going to proceed to respond to
• 32:19
  the fire because we were being shot, but there was no longer a confirmation
• 32:22
  response to the request for reinforcements. We were checking the radio when a second
• 32:29
  burst flooded our ears, but it was accompanied by a rumble that we didn
• 32:32
  ' t know if it was from the sky or some bigger weapon. After
• 32:37
  the sound we were stunned by everything. We didn' t know where the
• 32:42
  gunshots or the creaks came from without thinking about it. We got on the
• 32:46
  defense, stuck behind our backs, waiting for the worst. We were aiming
• 32:52
  for nothing with our guns. We also pointed the lanterns from one side to
• 32:57
  the other, looking for signs of life, but in the darkness it was
• 33:00
  too deep. The storm completely covered the moon and the small drops of water
• 33:05
  were covering the picture. I was calming down to form an offensive strategy.
• 33:12
  When I told Ricardo it wasn' t for us to attack. I didn
• 33:16
  ' t see bullet hits near or in the truck. The conflict seemed to
• 33:22
  be in the vicinity. That' s when Ricardo dried up my speculations.
• 33:28
  He told me that where the hell those things were happening, we didn'
• 33:32
  t smell any gunpowder or some flammable material. We knew that when a bullet
• 33:38
  was unleashed, the unmistakable scent of firearms came with it. I was perplexed.
• 33:45
  It was true how close the shots were heard, but we didn'
• 33:51
  t see or smell anything. Moreover, we suddenly saw how with the sound
• 33:55
  of detonation a light can be seen from the fire in the distance, but
• 34:00
  there were no signs of anything. We were still swallowed by the darkness halfway
• 34:05
  down the road. Not a soul had passed through all that time. We
• 34:09
  didn' t see animals either, but we couldn' t even see mosquitoes
• 34:15
  through our lights or the headlights in the van. That was weird enough.
• 34:21
  Ricardo shot at me surprised the detonation and yelled at him asking what he was
• 34:25
  doing. He told me a shadow crossed the road. He had moved from
• 34:31
  the empty ground to the cornfield so quickly that he could not see clearly what
• 34:37
  it was like. I told him to stop being paranoid, but he was
• 34:40
  sure it was the silhouette of a person who had run from one side to
• 34:45
  the other of the road there in the distance between pure darkness. I was
• 34:52
  terrified of what happened without lighting up as if I knew everything or didn'
• 34:57
  t need the light. I didn' t want to doubt Ricardo, but
• 35:00
  frankly he was affected by what was going on in his eyes. I saw
• 35:05
  them in fear and I was sweating in jets. It wasn' t just
• 35:08
  rainwater, it was running down his forehead. I' d lie if I
• 35:14
  said I wasn' t upset at the time, but I think I kept
• 35:19
  thinking I was dreaming or hallucinating. That wasn' t normal at all.
• 35:22
  The most normal thing was that a guy tried to kill us or that we
• 35:28
  saw blood drawn by a couple of men who were in a fight and ended
• 35:32
  up shooting each other. But none of that was happening. Everything pointed to
• 35:37
  something, but not someone in that place. I remember rubbing my fingers because
• 35:43
  they were getting numb. The atmosphere was particularly cold, but it was a
• 35:49
  cold so intense that I could swear it was winter and not full. Summer
• 35:53
  we were settling in our tactical suits. We had taken several weapons to proceed
• 35:59
  to look for the thing that had moved out there. When we were able
• 36:04
  to hear from the radio the cry of a man who said kill them,
• 36:09
  we were petrified for a second, but already emboldened by those words of alertness.
• 36:14
  I had no doubts. I was sure someone was setting us up,
• 36:19
  and we happened to interfere with his line of communication. So I took the
• 36:25
  radio in a quick move and the code to proceed with the confrontation to bring
• 36:30
  down the hostiles. I didn' t care any more if they listened to
• 36:36
  me or not. I wasn' t going to die that day and I
• 36:38
  was going to get Ricardo out of there alive, even if he was a
• 36:44
  drag, he owed it to his wife. I wasn' t gonna let
• 36:45
  this idiot get carried away by his superstitions and end up like cheese. At
• 36:51
  the end of the night, I quickly instructed him to follow me. We
• 36:55
  cut the barbed wires. Then we dropped down on the corn field. We
• 37:01
  had to comb the area as calm and cautious as we could, but since
• 37:07
  there were only two of us, everything was complicated. So in a matter
• 37:12
  of seconds in a look, we agreed that I would go right and he
• 37:15
  would go left. It was all we could do. The rain began to
• 37:21
  rise. We felt the drops fall into our eyes, but we began to
• 37:25
  move slowly through the furrows. We could barely tell what we were stepping on.
• 37:32
  It was land, but it looked unusually black, it looked like blood,
• 37:37
  but we didn' t confirm it. I felt that if any blow
• 37:40
  or wound came to me it would be inevitable. We were in the worst
• 37:46
  position and we weren' t sure we' d get away with it.
• 37:52
  The storm was raging and we felt as the mud began to stick to our
• 37:57
  boots making them heavier. We were walking in the same direction of anger,
• 38:02
  looking at each other to make sure we were okay. Nothing could be seen,
• 38:07
  but I began to see that there was someone walking or running between the
• 38:10
  cobs, between the furrows of earth. I didn' t know what it
• 38:15
  was, but I figured it would be a man who was measuring us to
• 38:19
  get close. I took my knife off in case I had to get into
• 38:23
  a body- to- body combat and squeezed my teeth, but I felt
• 38:29
  my heart speeding up when I no longer saw only a shadow moving, but
• 38:32
  I began to see several. Now there were more than three of them.
• 38:37
  The worst part is they were surrounding us. He was listening behind us,
• 38:40
  too. So I started touring looking for where to run From afar I saw
• 38:46
  Ricardo doing the same thing. Only he looked at me once in a while
• 38:51
  with a look of terror. I was panicking about being surrounded. I couldn
• 38:55
  ' t see the lights in the truck anymore. We were well inside the
• 39:00
  fields, so I couldn' t do anything anymore. Maybe if I gave
• 39:05
  up and threw my guns on the ground, I could have a chance to
• 39:09
  throw myself back at the gun. So I could knock down one or two
• 39:13
  of those guys who had ambushed us. I took courage and started moving faster
• 39:17
  between the cornfield. I had to give it all in that last move,
• 39:23
  but those figures were also running at great speed. That' s when I
• 39:29
  heard two detonations. I didn' t know if they were shooting at me
• 39:32
  or it was Ricardo who was shooting at them. I still couldn' t
• 39:36
  fix a target, but I couldn' t waste a bullet either. I
• 39:40
  ran to where I listened and saw the detonations vaguely. I rushed even though
• 39:45
  the rain clouded my eyesight. I heard Ricardo' s scream of terror.
• 39:52
  For a moment I was frozen, but then I resumed the march, running
• 39:55
  to where I heard the scream, as the rain was turning off what was
• 40:00
  wrong with another sound, because it was falling too hard. When I got
• 40:05
  to the place, I saw Ricardo lying there without any scratches, no blood
• 40:10
  or any wound, he just seemed to be faint and did not answer any
• 40:15
  of my calls or blows. I didn' t understand what happened to him.
• 40:21
  I was just lying there in the middle of the mud. Then I
• 40:24
  fixed my gaze on the flashlight, lying on the ground, the one that
• 40:29
  had surely dropped my partner. That' s when I saw a lot of
• 40:32
  footprints in the mud. They all surrounded Ricardo' s body, leaving regular
• 40:37
  footprints of large and small sizes. I realized that not only did I face
• 40:43
  adults, there were also children. I stood there when I was Ricardo on
• 40:47
  my back, I couldn' t wait for them to do something to me
• 40:52
  too, so I decided to run to the truck to ask for help was
• 40:58
  the only thing I could do, but it was getting harder to bring Ricardo
• 41:04
  out, but I didn' t leave him. I started my retreat hoping
• 41:07
  to save myself from whatever they did to my partner and me. Then,
• 41:12
  in the midst of my gasping for effort, I began to hear screams,
• 41:16
  faint then screams like orders, more screams and much chaos. Like a lot
• 41:21
  of people are involved. It was a mobilization for some weapons conflict. It
• 41:27
  was impossible to determine in which direction he heard all that. I only started
• 41:31
  to run with all my strength, but when I got to the shore of
• 41:36
  the road, I didn' t see the truck or even the light on
• 41:42
  that one that came out of the lighthouses. I looked around and began to
• 41:45
  see small fires. Then the earth rumbled. I thought it was a cannon
• 41:50
  or something, but the storm was running too hard, so I thought it
• 41:54
  was just some thunder. The worst part is I didn' t know where
• 42:00
  to protect myself or Ricardo. No matter how much they called him, he
• 42:04
  didn' t respond to any encouragement. It was there standing deciding what to
• 42:08
  do that I saw as a bunch of men dressed like shirt and formal pants.
• 42:13
  They ran out of the fields to go to the vacant lot, which
• 42:16
  was on the other side of the road, but couldn' t even see
• 42:22
  the road was land. I was standing on a dirt trail for some reason
• 42:28
  I haven' t explained yet. My flashlight went out after tinking a few
• 42:31
  times and when I wanted to use it from Ricardo it didn' t turn
• 42:36
  on either. Then I saw the scariest vision of my life, the light
• 42:42
  of lightning. He let me see in the dark. I watched men falling
• 42:46
  from one side and the other for shooting at each other. I closed my
• 42:52
  eyes to remove some of the water or mud that had fallen into my escape,
• 42:55
  but I kept seeing those silhouettes in the distance as if they were the
• 43:00
  participants in a confrontation. I was unbelieving. My legs didn' t respond
• 43:06
  to a fierce fear. He had taken over me. I couldn' t
• 43:10
  explain what was going on. They didn' t look like normal people.
• 43:14
  Some were not able to see well the bodies were distorted, others seemed to
• 43:20
  disappear. As he entered contact with some adversary and saw torch fires between that
• 43:24
  movement. He was telling me I had to get close to checking what was
• 43:30
  going on. But my body didn' t move. It was horribly petrified
• 43:36
  in a completely unnatural way. Even the air was missing, I felt dizzy,
• 43:42
  but at no time did the smell of gunpowder or burning come to me.
• 43:45
  Just a great sound like a cannonfight. He wrapped me up for a
• 43:50
  second. The audition was like I heard the sound of a shot I didn
• 43:54
  ' t know more about myself than I did unconsciously. After hearing that or
• 43:58
  neo or s u s they found us next to the road. We were
• 44:02
  blacked out, the van was open, and with the lights on, we
• 44:09
  had soaked our bones in that rain, and they never found traces of what
• 44:15
  we said we saw much less of the records of the radio alerts I radioed
• 44:20
  for the unit. The two of us had disappeared for four hours. I
• 44:24
  swear I didn' t know how time went so fast either, I just
• 44:29
  felt it had been an hour or two, when much I still think it
• 44:35
  was a dream or a hallucination about something. But Ricardo is convinced that we
• 44:39
  live a paranormal battle, because after he did some research, that kilometer has
• 44:45
  a particular history. Nothing that is planted in that dry ground can grow,
• 44:50
  because the owners count, which is for all the blood shed during a meeting
• 44:53
  between Christeros and the army. They say that land is cursed, that sometimes
• 45:00
  you can see when you go down the road to ghost people fighting each other.
• 45:10
  I didn' t remember much from my childhood. I had always thought
• 45:15
  it was normal for people not to remember many things as they grow. When
• 45:21
  they see the photographs, they vaguely know they did one thing or another,
• 45:27
  but as I grew older. I realized it wasn' t like that.
• 45:30
  There are people who told me they remember when I was five or six years
• 45:34
  old I didn' t remember anything before I was eight years old and I
• 45:37
  didn' t know why. I never imagined it would be because of some
• 45:40
  trauma. I found out the worst way. I' ve never been very
• 45:45
  normal. I' ve always had anxiety. I always remember my moments of
• 45:51
  anguish, of which I never knew the reason. When I got to college,
• 45:55
  things got worse. I got sick. I began to feel the cane
• 46:00
  getting worse every day until I was told I had kidney failure. At this
• 46:05
  point I find it incredible that afternoon I spent with Nati, my friend from
• 46:09
  the university, who helped me a lot until today, whom I thank for
• 46:13
  getting involved in trying to save me from that supernatural beast that claims me.
• 46:20
  Together on an afternoon of a pendulum session we saw my grandmother Maria' s
• 46:23
  ghost and so far I think we were drugged or crazy. What I do
• 46:29
  believe is that my grandmother transformed or was a kind of dark entity. One
• 46:35
  day chatting with my school friends, I ended up in pain. I started
• 46:39
  crying because it was too much that was happening in my life. Everyone was
• 46:45
  shocked, they didn' t know what to tell me or how to help
• 46:49
  me. Classes began and everyone went to his living room, but naty stayed
• 46:52
  by my side comforted me. She was telling me everything was gonna be okay,
• 46:59
  that if I wanted to, she could help me. Having been desperate,
• 47:02
  I agreed without thinking anything else. I had no idea what she could
• 47:07
  do to help me. We were studying engineering, we were the same age,
• 47:15
  and she worked at a waitress' s restaurant in the afternoon. No
• 47:20
  way he could help me. Or so I thought, since she wasn'
• 47:23
  t a doctor or therapist or something. We said goodbye to everyone else and
• 47:29
  she told me we were going to her house, to warn her at my
• 47:32
  house so they wouldn' t worry, because I was going to sleep with
• 47:36
  her. Your proposal got weird to me even thought if you wanted to do
• 47:42
  something with me so to speak, aside from speaking, but I just let
• 47:47
  myself drive completely whatever happened I wasn' t going to dislike. We got
• 47:52
  home, he left his stuff in his bedroom, he told me that,
• 47:55
  as it was Tuesday, we didn' t have to worry about the time
• 48:00
  that I didn' t go to work that day. She lived in an
• 48:02
  old house adapted for there to be many individual rooms that were like small apartments
• 48:08
  for students. It was on Avenida Juárez, right in the heart of the
• 48:15
  city. It was a small place, but well lit, ventilated, pleasant
• 48:21
  to the eye. Everything was in place, the clothes, the shoes,
• 48:24
  his books. It was admirable, since everything was very clean, it was
• 48:30
  very harmonious, all in light colors. I really liked the large round mirror
• 48:36
  that had decorating the room place It also looked comfortable the pile of cushions that
• 48:40
  served as seats around a low table. He offered me water. He also
• 48:45
  asked me if I wanted something to eat, but I didn' t want
• 48:50
  anything. I felt very stressed to the expectation, although I was also shattered.
• 48:55
  I had years without crying like that I was already regretting doing it in
• 49:01
  front of my group of friends and in school. He' ll know who
• 49:06
  saw me this bad that day. I was calming down so I could spin
• 49:10
  conversation, because all the way home we didn' t cross a word.
• 49:14
  When naty asked me if I believed in paranormal things, I told her I
• 49:20
  didn' t believe in any of that and she told me it was normal.
• 49:23
  Then he sat next to me, touched my shoulder and told me I
• 49:28
  can help you with what you' re wearing. You have an entity that
• 49:31
  is draining your life I immediately panicked what I was talking about, but I
• 49:39
  knew her well. We had two years taking classes together in college. She
• 49:44
  never gave any indication of being a liar she asked me to trust us to
• 49:50
  try pendulum therapy and that if at any point I felt uncomfortable or bad,
• 49:54
  we could stop watching a movie or have fun we' d forget the paranormal
• 50:00
  ci. What I was trying to do was help me or at least let
• 50:06
  me have a good time to forget a little bit about everything that was happening
• 50:08
  to me. I agreed to be the pendulum. I didn' t expect
• 50:13
  it to work. For me. The things of energies or paranormals were stories
• 50:16
  of people who didn' t know how physics worked. More unbelieving than anything
• 50:22
  else, I let myself be driven into it. I got carried away by
• 50:25
  my partner Nati' s instructions. He took everything he could get in the
• 50:30
  way, some pots he had, and his cat' s mat. Then
• 50:35
  we settle next door, looking towards the small table. We were sitting on
• 50:39
  the floor. He pulled out a red handkerchief. In them I could see
• 50:44
  symbols like a staff, a pyramid and an eye. He put it at
• 50:50
  the center of the table. He pulled a pendulum out of a bag of
• 50:53
  purple velvet. He added it to his index finger. Then he gave me
• 50:57
  the directions to get started. He told me to make myself comfortable sitting down
• 51:04
  as I felt better, but to place my left hand on his right hand
• 51:08
  holding the pendulum on the red handkerchief. After that, he asked me to
• 51:14
  close my eyes and concentrate my energy, that I had to think of water
• 51:17
  or light, that flowed from my hand to his hand, until I reached
• 51:22
  the pendulum, that we were going to stay for a few minutes until the
• 51:25
  pendulum was loaded with energy in order to start asking. I was incredibly able
• 51:31
  to visualize what he was asking me to do. I imagined the light passing
• 51:35
  through my fingers, through his hand and finally saw in my imagination the concentration
• 51:40
  in the pendulum. But I also felt it shining. It was a very
• 51:45
  rare sensation, like adrenaline, although I also felt the fear of what might
• 51:50
  happen suddenly I heard something crackle and open my eyes. Nati told me not
• 51:55
  to deconcentrate, but I saw one of the pots adorning her living room break.
• 52:01
  I asked her to stop scaring me, but she told me not to
• 52:06
  think about that it was time to start asking I swallowed saliva. When I
• 52:12
  heard as I was saying, some kind of esoteric prayer. I was talking
• 52:15
  about universal protection winds and I don' t know what else. That'
• 52:21
  s how the first question started. We can know the secrets in Julio'
• 52:24
  s mind I panicked. Hearing my name, the pendulum began to move in
• 52:30
  circles and Nati told me that that was a positive response, that when I
• 52:36
  saw it swing from one side to the other, the stone, it was
• 52:39
  a negative answer, that if it stopped moving, it was something I didn
• 52:44
  ' t have to know, but that if I followed the movement in circles
• 52:49
  it was always an affirmative answer. He was unbelieving, but the pendulum began
• 52:52
  to move. I just never felt her arm move so that she could be
• 52:57
  the one who faked these answers. I asked some questions that only I knew
• 53:04
  the answer to, things like if it was actually black my mother' s
• 53:07
  hair color or if my dog' s name was Pepi Surprisingly, everything was
• 53:14
  right and I felt a tingling that swept all over my body. Then naty
• 53:21
  took the course of the questions and asked if my illness was supernatural. The
• 53:27
  pendulum said yes and the ceiling light began to tingle as if the power were
• 53:30
  dropping. I was caught up by a force that I didn' t understand
• 53:36
  or support. I was weighing little by little more. She gave me a
• 53:40
  look of terror, but she didn' t tell me anything and I wasn
• 53:45
  ' t telling her that I felt heavy either. Then he asked if that
• 53:49
  had anything to do with a family debt. Again, the pendulum replied yes.
• 53:54
  She told me it was clear, that there was a relative who came
• 53:59
  to claim me as a life for something that was promised. I said she
• 54:04
  was getting crazy in her head. That didn' t exist, but as
• 54:08
  I wasn' t convinced, she kept asking to confirm that theory. For
• 54:14
  this I was already putting a lot of pressure on her hand and ended up
• 54:19
  crashing her hand against the table. I told him it wasn' t on
• 54:23
  purpose, he was feeling his hand very heavy. She told me to tell
• 54:28
  her the truth that it wasn' t just my body that was heavy,
• 54:31
  that it was the back that was heavy. I felt discovered, I didn
• 54:37
  ' t know how she saw that. As he slit his hand for the
• 54:40
  blow he began to accommodate everything again. He went to get some things,
• 54:45
  to a drawer in the kitchen and came back with candles, a lighter and
• 54:50
  several glasses of water. He told me right now, let' s find
• 54:54
  out who the person you have attached to you is. In that the wind
• 54:59
  began to crack through the window. He was furious at a very strange noise,
• 55:05
  but she remained undisturbed. He told me not to pay attention to him.
• 55:09
  He settled his new utensils on the table and put his hand on the
• 55:14
  staff of the handkerchief and asked me to align my middle finger with the tip
• 55:17
  of the star. Then we saw clearly as one of the candles that was
• 55:23
  turning on naty went out and went out. She continued until it lit,
• 55:28
  but immediately fell flat rolled until she reached the edge of the table. I
• 55:34
  felt the blood coming down to my knees. That wasn' t normal,
• 55:38
  but to convince me that it was just a coincidence, I tried to take
• 55:44
  the candle with the other hand to return it to its place. But that
• 55:46
  ' s when he ended up falling off the table and rolled to the door.
• 55:51
  I started hyperventilating by printing. Nati was holding my hand tightly and telling
• 55:57
  me to breathe deep through my nose and to breathe in through my mouth that
• 56:00
  would make it slow by counting between breathing and breathing to number eight. He
• 56:07
  said nothing was going on, we were going to find out what was going
• 56:10
  on. The candles were arranged around my hand, which was already on the
• 56:16
  staff. The glass glasses with water up to half were under the table,
• 56:21
  just under my hand. She began to ask for things, to pray again
• 56:27
  to natural things like water, fire and so on. I felt how I
• 56:32
  was shaking. The table was slowly vibrating, the candles were moving. His
• 56:38
  light went down and up as by act spectrum my terror began to become evident.
• 56:45
  I felt like my heart was coming out. Even one or two tears
• 56:49
  came out naty was very focused on making the petition and closed her prayers ordering
• 56:55
  whatever she was with me, to reveal herself, to say her name.
• 57:00
  I told her no, not to do that, she didn' t want
• 57:05
  to see whatever it was, but she told me it was too late.
• 57:09
  Then I stared at myself waiting for something. The light of the place went
• 57:15
  away, so we only had the light of the candles left and with them
• 57:19
  the most terrible revelation I ever had in my life. My grandmother' s
• 57:22
  face looked at us from the reflection of the mirror. She was sitting next
• 57:28
  to me smiling, but when I turned to look for her I wasn'
• 57:31
  t there. Only the mirror let me see it. So I revealed to
• 57:37
  naty that she was my dad' s mom, my grandmother Maria, which
• 57:42
  is killing you this. Grandma told me very sure when she uttered those words,
• 57:49
  very clear as if she were living it. I saw a memory later
• 57:53
  I felt that the heaviness that seized me overcame my back. I went all
• 57:58
  the way back as I closed my eyes. So I saw that I was
• 58:02
  about six or seven years old. I was in the apartment where they lived
• 58:07
  with my parents. I was playing on the floor with a blue plane.
• 58:10
  I felt like I was having fun, but I felt very tired. I
• 58:16
  was weak, hard to breathe. It wasn' t too loud. I
• 58:22
  was rolling the toy slowly on the floor. I even heard my own cough.
• 58:27
  I felt a pain in my chest from coughing. My mom was sitting
• 58:30
  next to me on one of the armchairs. I was weaving some shoes.
• 58:36
  She was pregnant with my brother. I would turn around and smile with concern.
• 58:42
  Then I watched the TV all while weaving I could also smell some food.
• 58:47
  It was like we' d just eaten or something and the house was
• 58:52
  soaked in the smell. Everything in that dream was absolutely vivid. I saw
• 58:57
  everything very big, the armchairs, the chair, the table, their chairs,
• 59:00
  also the bookseller where the TV was, as well as the furniture where
• 59:05
  we kept the dishes clean. My throat was very dry. I felt dizzy.
• 59:12
  My mom put the tissue aside and bent over to touch my head.
• 59:15
  He asked me if I wanted to throw up again because I was still.
• 59:21
  I was going to answer her. When I blinked and saw a shadow behind
• 59:24
  her, I pulled back and my mom saw me with pity. I was
• 59:30
  frozen. I didn' t say anything. Then I started playing again.
• 59:35
  I was focused on not looking up, but it wasn' t possible.
• 59:39
  I began to feel a very strong cold on my back. I was lifting
• 59:44
  my body hairs. I touched my neck scaring whatever was there. So I
• 59:51
  couldn' t deny it or resist it anymore. I had to turn around
• 59:54
  and make sure that shadow wasn' t there anymore. I looked at my
• 59:59
  mother seeing her ter vision. I let go of a sigh. I wasn
• 1:00:01
  ' t with her that shadow and then instinctively turned to see the back hallway,
• 1:00:07
  the one that connected to the bedrooms and the room something was there.
• 1:00:13
  It was unusually dark to do that time of day. The light didn'
• 1:00:16
  t touch. I kept rolling the toy by inertia, but stared at that
• 1:00:22
  darkness. My body was wrapped in a horrifying cold. Then I looked at
• 1:00:28
  how the darkness seemed to increase in the hallway. From the bottom it began
• 1:00:32
  to span centimeter to centimeter each space of the walls. The floor and ceiling
• 1:00:38
  were increasing. He was coming at me. I closed my eyes, threw
• 1:00:45
  what I had in my hands into the corridor, my blue plane. When
• 1:00:49
  I opened my eyes, the darkness was still there. He didn' t
• 1:00:52
  take anything back. I started crying and my mom scolded me for throwing things
• 1:00:57
  away. Again. He told me she couldn' t be getting too low
• 1:01:01
  on him, but I didn' t want to. Then he sighed deeply
• 1:01:07
  and fell completely into the comfort of the sofa. What are we gonna do
• 1:01:12
  with you bruno told me you don' t want to tell Mom what you
• 1:01:15
  got. She asked me anxiously. I didn' t say anything and I
• 1:01:21
  didn' t know what he meant by a very distressed face. He kept
• 1:01:27
  talking to me son, I know you feel bad, but you don'
• 1:01:31
  t want to talk to me because you woke up in the neighbor' s
• 1:01:32
  gutter. Someone took you there. Other kids told you to go there.
• 1:01:38
  I was very surprised. He didn' t remember anything he was telling me.
• 1:01:43
  She told me to talk to me. I know it wasn' t
• 1:01:47
  the same without Grandma, but I' ve already talked to you. Before
• 1:01:51
  that, Granny had to go to heaven. She couldn' t say goodbye.
• 1:01:57
  Diosito told her she had to leave now and she had to leave.
• 1:02:01
  I didn' t quite understand what was going on, but I remembered that
• 1:02:06
  fact. The day of my fifth birthday, I was with the neighbor there,
• 1:02:09
  they took care of me. Then my mom and dad came to tell
• 1:02:13
  me that my grandmother was going on a trip that I wasn' t going
• 1:02:16
  to come back. I just vaguely remember that I didn' t know if
• 1:02:22
  I cried or said anything or if anything else happened in my mind. There
• 1:02:25
  was just the idea that I was sad I didn' t have my birthday
• 1:02:30
  cake. Then the door opened and there were my parents telling me that I
• 1:02:34
  would not return to my grandmother. So with this clear memory I was already
• 1:02:38
  tying up ends came as small fragments of memory. My grandmother had died on
• 1:02:45
  my birthday. I was very sad, but then my grandmother came back when
• 1:02:52
  I came into my house. One morning after finishing the classes, I arrived
• 1:02:55
  and she was in the house as if nothing saw her, standing in front
• 1:03:00
  of the stove, as always also next to the washing machine or among the
• 1:03:06
  cages of the Canaries. I was talking to her. She didn' t
• 1:03:09
  do anything, she was just standing there and she was smiling at me.
• 1:03:14
  My mom was shaking. When I saw myself on the edge of the bed
• 1:03:17
  talking to her, my dad spanked me when I told her I was sitting
• 1:03:23
  in a chair. No one believed me, but I saw my grandmother in
• 1:03:29
  time I didn' t see her so sharp anymore. It was disappearing until
• 1:03:31
  I could only see its shadow. Then it was just a dark black plast
• 1:03:37
  that looked at me all the time. I was remembering that while my mom
• 1:03:42
  kept talking to me, but without saying anything at all. I stood up
• 1:03:45
  and went to the kitchen. I had a glass, I poured water,
• 1:03:50
  and I saw my mom crouching between her pensive elbows, I' m sure
• 1:03:54
  she was worried. I was drinking water slowly. Then I turned to see
• 1:03:59
  the roof and saw a lot of life flies all moving weird, hitting each
• 1:04:03
  other, sticking to the ceiling. Then, from the shore, glued to
• 1:04:08
  a window that lit up the kitchen, I began to see again in the
• 1:04:12
  darkness, a darkness like a stain that was spreading little by little through the
• 1:04:17
  wall I knew that darkness was following me, that it was my grandmother.
• 1:04:24
  Again I had the feeling of fear, the cold that gripped the hairs of
• 1:04:28
  my back. The shadow was very deep, it was very black, strangely
• 1:04:33
  black. The flies began to surround her. Then I saw how little by
• 1:04:39
  little something came out of that darkness was something small. It came out an
• 1:04:45
  inch to an inch until it fell with a hollow sound to the ground right
• 1:04:49
  in front of where it was. I took the object with fear. I
• 1:04:53
  didn' t know if it was real what was going on, but when
• 1:04:58
  I touched that hair clip, I was with or overcome that it was real.
• 1:05:00
  I was petting him and checking him out. When my mom showed up
• 1:05:04
  behind me, she took the pin with force from my hands. His face.
• 1:05:11
  It was an absolute terror. When she recognized him and asked me screaming
• 1:05:15
  that where she had gotten my grandmother' s pin, she began to cry.
• 1:05:18
  He was holding both my hands. I was wondering over and over where
• 1:05:23
  I' d been getting stuff from Grandma. She told me not to scare
• 1:05:29
  her to tell her the truth if she had entered the other house without permission.
• 1:05:32
  That' s what they called my grandmother' s house for a few
• 1:05:36
  things. As a reminder, she told me that the earrings, that pin,
• 1:05:42
  a handkerchief and her glasses were locked in boxes that were to be donated,
• 1:05:46
  so I had to tell her how those objects had come to my hands.
• 1:05:51
  Already in a nervous breakdown. He begged me to tell him how or
• 1:05:56
  because I had them. If I missed my grandmother and because of him I
• 1:06:00
  had those things. I told her that she brought them to me, that
• 1:06:04
  I was scared too, but that she brought them to me. My mom
• 1:06:09
  ' s gone mute. He only looked at me with a deep fear,
• 1:06:13
  showing the despair on his face, but he no longer said anything. He
• 1:06:16
  just kissed me on the head and went to the kitchen window. Then he
• 1:06:21
  threw the pin as far as he could we were on a second floor.
• 1:06:28
  So, by the height and strength with which he threw the pin, he
• 1:06:30
  could never have fallen near. My mother went to the armchair where she was
• 1:06:36
  initially sitting and began to air herself with a magazine that was nearby. I
• 1:06:42
  was still standing in the kitchen. I went to leave my glass of water
• 1:06:45
  in the furniture. I looked into the window. The darkness had been transported
• 1:06:50
  from the ceiling to the upper window frame. It moved slowly almost like a
• 1:06:56
  jellyfish. He took over the frame little by little. I slowly approached to
• 1:07:00
  see what I was doing that thing there in my childhood mind, I assumed
• 1:07:05
  that if I closed the window, that thing would stay out and I would
• 1:07:10
  stay in, so closing everything would never enter again. So I came up
• 1:07:15
  with the idea that I would have to get rid of that shadow myself,
• 1:07:19
  because no one believed me what I was seeing I slowly approached like trying not
• 1:07:26
  to see that darkness. I reached the window frame and saw how the pin
• 1:07:30
  was on the frame waiting for me I began to tremble. I couldn'
• 1:07:35
  t call my mother to rescue me, because my grandmother' s voice was
• 1:07:40
  calling me. She told me to go to the window and say hello to
• 1:07:44
  her, not knowing why I followed the order. I rushed up into the
• 1:07:49
  frame of a jump, but my strength was too much, so I went
• 1:07:54
  full ahead. He threw me out the window. It all happened in a
• 1:08:00
  wonderful bed. I heard my mother' s heartbreaking scream. I saw the
• 1:08:03
  plants and flowers downstairs, but I also saw my grandmother greet me with open
• 1:08:08
  arms. Only something was wrong with him. Her face was blurred, only
• 1:08:14
  her unsettling smile, very aberrant could see it clearly. I was smiling from
• 1:08:19
  ear to ear. I felt the tears coming out of me. Then I
• 1:08:26
  woke up in naty' s arms crying. She was holding my head.
• 1:08:30
  I was passing a lemon through my body. I didn' t understand what
• 1:08:35
  I was doing, but she made crosses everywhere. When I was able to
• 1:08:41
  incorporate she also did the same to put the lemon in the sink. He
• 1:08:44
  sprayed something of a nearby bottle and threw a match Immediately a whirlwind of fire
• 1:08:50
  rose. He was moving strangely. They seemed to see figures of monstrous faces
• 1:08:57
  among the blue flames, but naty didn' t look good. When he
• 1:09:00
  threw a fist of salt at him and opened him to the key while praying
• 1:09:03
  for the cleansing of those forces, he asked them to leave his house.
• 1:09:10
  I was surprised. I had a lot of questions without any answers. It
• 1:09:15
  was amazing what had happened as I was going to stay with her, to
• 1:09:19
  sleep, we had plenty of time to talk. I went into the world
• 1:09:24
  of the paranormal. He explained esoteric things to me and I was convinced that
• 1:09:29
  they were real, if not all, at least those that had to do
• 1:09:32
  with spirits. If I didn' t believe in it, how could I
• 1:09:36
  explain what had happened to me? She told me if I fought, I
• 1:09:41
  could get through it. It would improve that the disease caused by my grandmother
• 1:09:46
  ’ s corrupted soul would disappear or ease. I gave up first and foremost
• 1:09:51
  I stopped doubting and agreed to fight that monstrous figure. But what really convinced
• 1:09:57
  me that I was going down the road was when I asked my mom if
• 1:10:01
  I had had an accident, if I had fallen off the second floor when
• 1:10:05
  I was a kid. She told me that yes, that' s why
• 1:10:10
  we moved to one with one floor. But she thought I didn' t
• 1:10:15
  remember anything from the blow to the head. I was trying to explain in
• 1:10:19
  some way what I had remembered. When my grandmother' s wedding painting fell
• 1:10:23
  to the ground and broke, I immediately knew the cold feeling of the beautiful
• 1:10:28
  behinds of my back confirmed it to me. My grandmother never left. He
• 1:10:34
  was always following me to claim my life. Anyone who goes through a situation
• 1:10:40
  like mine won' t let me lie. It is a struggle of many
• 1:10:43
  years, to get rid of a dark spirit like the one that persecutes me.
• 1:10:46
  To date I' ve been able to keep him away, but I
• 1:10:51
  keep fighting Sometimes I get to see that darkness. I hope over the years,
• 1:10:54
  to win this battle against that evil. There are sects of all kinds
• 1:11:03
  around the world. Sometimes they are sects that worship beings that we think only
• 1:11:08
  exist in literature, and many of them commit unlawful acts to accomplish their goals
• 1:11:13
  and involve innocent beings to reach them. The next story is real. It
• 1:11:20
  happened to your server and this happened in the middle of the year two thousand
• 1:11:26
  three at a high school located in the State of Mexico, of which I
• 1:11:30
  will not say your name or location for security. However, the events that
• 1:11:34
  occurred during my stay there are still difficult to remember and, in turn,
• 1:11:40
  difficult to digest. He was in the third semester of high school. A
• 1:11:46
  few months after the semester began, a new classmate arrived. The professor who
• 1:11:51
  was at the time presented it to us. His name was Miguel. We
• 1:11:57
  all felt like a normal person are just the NR. We found it strange
• 1:12:00
  how old he was, because he was eighteen years old and all the others
• 1:12:05
  were between fifteen and sixteen. Some colleagues and I decided to come closer to
• 1:12:12
  learn more about him and, in addition, to start meeting with our group
• 1:12:15
  of friends. But Miguel was quiet when we asked him some questions. He
• 1:12:21
  only answered what was necessary. As a few weeks passed, we realized that
• 1:12:28
  academically he was better than us in all subjects. He always rated a ten,
• 1:12:33
  and he answered difficult questions in subjects such as physics, calculus and electronics,
• 1:12:41
  which was the technical career we practiced at the time. At first we
• 1:12:45
  attributed him to being two years older than us and, moreover, that he
• 1:12:49
  had already attended another high school, so we thought that because of that experience,
• 1:12:55
  he had good grades, because we assumed that he had already taken these
• 1:13:00
  classes before. After a while, we noticed that academically it rose considerably,
• 1:13:06
  because sometimes it made some corrections to the teachers. However, we assumed it
• 1:13:14
  was all because he just spent the day studying and didn' t have fun.
• 1:13:17
  Therefore, we were made to a certain extent normal. So time passed
• 1:13:23
  and to end the third semester, the professor of electronics asked us to carry
• 1:13:29
  out a project in pairs. Casually, that day, two of my friends
• 1:13:32
  with whom I got along very well and with whom I always worked, did
• 1:13:36
  not attend. Only Miguel was available, as everyone else didn' t want
• 1:13:42
  to work with him, so it was my only choice. Then I approached
• 1:13:45
  him. We agreed on the project and set out to work. The class
• 1:13:53
  that was the last of the day ended, but we were unable to complete
• 1:13:58
  the first phase of the project, which consists of three. Miguel, without
• 1:14:02
  concern, told me that he would take the project home and that he would
• 1:14:05
  finish it, and that he would also take it in a fully armed physicist.
• 1:14:12
  Unbelievingly, I turned around and told him we were meeting tomorrow. He
• 1:14:16
  just nodded the next day he arrived punctually as he always used to, looked
• 1:14:24
  for me directly, put his hand in his backpack. He first took out
• 1:14:29
  a carbolate with the project completely drafted in its three phases, put it on
• 1:14:33
  his bench and asked me to read it. Seconds later he put his hand
• 1:14:38
  back in, but now to a large box and pulled out of it The
• 1:14:43
  physically finished project, which consisted of an electronic arm with movements handled by a
• 1:14:47
  remote control. I was shocked, because I didn' t think I was
• 1:14:54
  going to finish it and honestly, I thought I bought it. The work
• 1:14:57
  was impeccable and far superior to that of the other companions. Then, at
• 1:15:01
  that time, I asked him in the form of a joke that, as
• 1:15:05
  he did, if he had a pact with the devil. He turned to
• 1:15:09
  see me with a serious and distasteful face and nodded his head to me saying
• 1:15:14
  yes. When this happened, I thought I was joking, but the way
• 1:15:18
  I looked at myself I realized it wasn' t like that. That day
• 1:15:23
  I kept thinking about his answer. Some days passed and I arrived, as
• 1:15:28
  always at school, very early at six thirty in the morning, as the
• 1:15:31
  time of entry was at seven, as Miguel always arrived. Ten minutes after
• 1:15:36
  me, he smiled at me and stood beside me and asked how I was
• 1:15:42
  and I replied that everything was fine. To break the ice, he told
• 1:15:46
  me that I had noticed that I liked dark music and also heavy metal,
• 1:15:50
  which I said it was. He came a little closer to me and told
• 1:15:56
  me that he also listened to dark music, in his Gothic case and that
• 1:16:00
  because of that he wanted to share some music with me. But he also
• 1:16:04
  told me that he would tell me a secret and that, if he wanted
• 1:16:09
  to, he could be part of what he would hear. I shuddered a
• 1:16:13
  bit because it was intriguing what he said to me. I didn' t
• 1:16:15
  know if you' d talk to me about how to make a pact with
• 1:16:19
  the devil or something to do with school. Then he began to tell me
• 1:16:24
  that he was part of a group of people who venerated a very powerful god
• 1:16:28
  called Dagon, the god Fish. I turned to see him and with a
• 1:16:32
  somewhat sarcastic laugh, I asked him if that was not a famous writer'
• 1:16:38
  s story to Chepelabcraf, for I was and still a fan of that writer
• 1:16:43
  and had read each of his stories at least a couple of times. He
• 1:16:47
  nodded with his head as he always did, and said yes. Therefore,
• 1:16:53
  I answered him that then what he would tell me would surely be a farce,
• 1:16:59
  since everything was only literature. He began to laugh a little loudly and
• 1:17:04
  commented that literature is often based on something real, that there really were many
• 1:17:10
  sects around the world who worshiped this God and that, in this case,
• 1:17:15
  in Mexico, this was one of them, or perhaps the only one.
• 1:17:18
  Then I continued to listen to what Miguel said. He said that in those
• 1:17:24
  sects they could only enter known, reliable and have the potential to learn and
• 1:17:30
  cold blood to make sacrifices in the name of God. In return, the
• 1:17:34
  new member could ask for something to be desired and fulfilled, as he had
• 1:17:40
  already been active in that group a couple of years since he deserted the last
• 1:17:44
  high school in which he studied and after some irretrievable meetings, his wish had
• 1:17:49
  been fulfilled, which was to have a very high academic level so that in
• 1:17:54
  the future he could have a lot of money then he commented that if I
• 1:18:00
  wanted, he could recommend me and thus be part of this sect. But
• 1:18:03
  I strongly refused his proposal, as I told him that I only listened to
• 1:18:09
  that kind of music because I was drawn to his lyrics and, moreover,
• 1:18:13
  I did not like to be related to the kind of music he listened to
• 1:18:17
  with acts of magic, witchcraft or supernatural things. Rather, the taste of
• 1:18:20
  family came and it was only that music. Miguel got a little upset,
• 1:18:28
  took his stuff, turned around and headed towards the living room. It all
• 1:18:32
  happened normal that day, as if nothing had happened. Actually, Miguel'
• 1:18:39
  s behavior was as always quiet, introverted and without any concern. We approached
• 1:18:45
  the electronics teacher, because he would tell us our qualification. Obviously, Miguel
• 1:18:49
  ' s rating was ten and mine was ten. I knew perfectly well that
• 1:18:55
  my qualification depended on the work I had done to Miguel a s a s
• 1:18:59
  s s. NS. That he also told the teacher that I had contributed
• 1:19:01
  fifty percent of that project, although it had not really been true. He
• 1:19:09
  had done it almost completely in his house, but he knew that Miguel had
• 1:19:13
  said it because somehow he was trying to convince me to be part of the
• 1:19:17
  sect he was in. Day after day, Miguel was getting better and better
• 1:19:21
  at school. He won contests, took out ten in all subjects, obtained
• 1:19:28
  trophies in sports, prizes to the best student of the school, prizes for
• 1:19:32
  the best behavior and, above all, realized that, on his own,
• 1:19:36
  he acquired more knowledge about the subjects topics every one of us had to carry
• 1:19:43
  out a project. Miguel was always the one who excelled over the fact that
• 1:19:47
  we were trying to do better and better. His work always stood out from
• 1:19:51
  ours. None of my colleagues imagined why. They simply gradually began to reject
• 1:19:58
  it. They no longer wanted to meet him, they no longer wanted to
• 1:20:02
  talk to him, because everyone thought he wanted to brag about his knowledge and
• 1:20:09
  that he mocked us for not being like him, even though he was not
• 1:20:11
  really like him. Rather, he was hiding a secret he couldn' t
• 1:20:15
  divulge. Openly, there came a time when Miguel was the favorite of the
• 1:20:19
  teachers, asking for favors. They took him to present an example of his
• 1:20:25
  classes to other halls when they were the contests we attended. He was the
• 1:20:30
  one who was at the head of us representing us, He was directing words
• 1:20:34
  at ceremonies, He was representing the school completely when it came to academic efficiency.
• 1:20:41
  So they ran a few more months we went to fourth semester. We
• 1:20:45
  continued it until it was finished. But one day before we had our half
• 1:20:49
  - yearly recess, finishing our day, at two o' clock in the
• 1:20:54
  afternoon, we left high school and went to a pool where we spent the
• 1:20:59
  time after school to celebrate that we had finished the fourth semester and were going
• 1:21:03
  to start taking the fifth. All the comrades came except Miguel without knowing that
• 1:21:10
  it had been the last time we would see him. We spent a couple
• 1:21:14
  of hours and everyone went home. At the end of the inter- monthly
• 1:21:20
  period, we went back to school, took the first class and after it
• 1:21:27
  we realized that Miguel had not arrived and we wondered what would have happened to
• 1:21:31
  him, because he was very punctual and never missed classes. One of his
• 1:21:34
  priorities was to meet 100% in school. It should be mentioned that none
• 1:21:40
  of my colleagues knew what Miguel had told me. Apparently, only I knew
• 1:21:45
  about it, as no one mentioned anything related to it, not even in
• 1:21:48
  Broma. So the day ended and we set out to leave school. We
• 1:21:55
  didn' t know more about Miguel that day, but we didn' t
• 1:22:00
  want to communicate with him either, because we knew he was a weird person
• 1:22:04
  and we didn' t want to risk his family being the same. The
• 1:22:08
  next day, we all came in normally. However, we realized that again,
• 1:22:13
  Miguel had not attended school. We began to comment among ourselves that probably
• 1:22:19
  something could have happened to him because it was already two days before he showed
• 1:22:24
  up. A few minutes later the Prefect entered the room and mentioned that he
• 1:22:29
  had a news to give us all At the moment we imagined instantly that it
• 1:22:34
  would be about Miguel. Indeed, it was. The prefect commented that one
• 1:22:41
  night before returning from the inter- monthly period, his parents had found Miguel
• 1:22:45
  ' s body in his room, cut on the floor and with a very
• 1:22:49
  large blood stain around it right in the middle of a circle surrounded by black
• 1:22:55
  candles and a pentagram drawn on the ground. On the table there was a
• 1:22:59
  very tyrterious book containing certain writings in a very rare language. And just where
• 1:23:04
  that book was opened, there was the image of a monolith with a being
• 1:23:09
  rarely carved in it, very much like a fish, but with a somewhat
• 1:23:13
  strange body, as it seemed to be a mixture of several species of animals.
• 1:23:18
  Then, his parents called the authorities and when they arrived, they were
• 1:23:24
  shocked by what they saw so big was the impact that the police and experts
• 1:23:30
  didn' t want to touch anything they saw in that room. They had
• 1:23:34
  to pick everything up with picker and broom, because most of the people they
• 1:23:39
  cleaned were superstitious, because they said that it was not the only time they
• 1:23:44
  met something similar and that lately it had become tendency, that many teenagers died
• 1:23:49
  in that way, because the police believed that they belonged to the same group
• 1:23:55
  and that among them they challenged themselves so that they could perform that act a.
• 1:23:58
  In addition, the police also commented that in other cases they had not
• 1:24:03
  found a figure similar to the one he had drawn in that book that was
• 1:24:08
  open. It was the first time some roommates saw her. We attended his
• 1:24:14
  funeral, were accompanying his parents and relatives during some ceremonies they performed. However,
• 1:24:21
  something in one of them struck us quite hard because when his family was
• 1:24:27
  doing a prayer, a blow was heard in the coffin, as if Michael
• 1:24:30
  had struck him inside. Some relatives and we approached to know what had happened.
• 1:24:39
  However, Michael' s body was intact, just as it had always
• 1:24:43
  been during the time it had remained. Inside the box. We went each
• 1:24:48
  to our place and listened again now to a few blows, something faint as
• 1:24:53
  if someone touched inside the coffin with the knuckles s we approached us again we
• 1:24:59
  s s s s s s or we are aware that nothing happened. Miguel
• 1:25:01
  ' s body was still not moving. And his hands in the same position.
• 1:25:06
  When we were about to finish the prayer session, all the candles around
• 1:25:11
  went out and a very strong wind came in that threw the bouquets of flowers
• 1:25:15
  to the sides, the nearby windows were whipped and the doors were shut tightly.
• 1:25:24
  Miguel' s mother began to cry louder and her relatives tried to reassure
• 1:25:29
  her, as she thought that somehow Miguel wanted to communicate with them. However,
• 1:25:34
  I did not attribute to the ritual that Michael had done before he died
• 1:25:39
  and that the beings or spectra that he had invoked at that time would not
• 1:25:43
  let him rest in peace and were claiming his soul, a somewhat extreme thought
• 1:25:48
  for the moment that we were going through, but that for me it was
• 1:25:54
  most appropriate because of what Michael had told me. Finally, after a few
• 1:25:58
  more hours they led Miguel' s attack to the cemetery to bury him.
• 1:26:01
  It should be noted that I was one of the volunteers to carry it and
• 1:26:06
  as we tried to put it into the pit we realized that we were charging
• 1:26:12
  it that the box was getting heavier and heavier as we went down it as
• 1:26:15
  if in some way, Miguel wanted to tell us that he did not want
• 1:26:17
  to go in there. But after some extra effort we managed to put the
• 1:26:23
  coffin in place. Before we finished covering it completely, there was a heavy
• 1:26:28
  rain that prevented us from moving around until after about ten minutes that the flow
• 1:26:33
  dropped and we were able to run everyone out of the cemetery to take the
• 1:26:40
  transport home. A few days later, Miguel' s parents attended the school
• 1:26:45
  to perform the discharge process. A colleague and I, curious to know more
• 1:26:50
  about Miguel' s death, went to them and asked how the situation was
• 1:26:56
  going, because we knew it was a very strong blow to them. The
• 1:27:00
  parents told us that they did not know why all this had happened with Miguel,
• 1:27:05
  because he was an excellent boy who wanted his family, who was very
• 1:27:10
  responsible and, moreover, that he had left some vices behind to dedicate himself
• 1:27:15
  only to the study. My partner agreed with the parents and nodded to everything
• 1:27:18
  they said, but I knew that Miguel was also hiding something, something macabre
• 1:27:24
  and, moreover, it was cloudy that not everything his parents thought was right
• 1:27:28
  and that, for some reason, he was an eminence in school at some
• 1:27:33
  point in the talk. I wanted to reveal the whole truth to them,
• 1:27:38
  believing that enough had already happened during the burial and his funeral so that his
• 1:27:43
  parents would realize that events were not normal. But for me it was betraying
• 1:27:48
  Miguel' s memory and, besides, I also believed that if he spoke,
• 1:27:54
  it could have serious consequences caused by the sect and the truth did not
• 1:27:58
  want to end up like him. He just thought it made me feel like
• 1:28:01
  saying nothing. Therefore, his parents never found out what Miguel told me.
• 1:28:10
  A semester later we left high school, graduated with a project similar to that
• 1:28:15
  we delivered in past semesters. But now without Miguel, every one of us
• 1:28:20
  who did a big job or project in the field of electronics, we remembered
• 1:28:27
  and talked about the impeccable projects that he was carrying out and also that some
• 1:28:31
  of us paid him because he did our project and how shocking it was when
• 1:28:38
  he finished them all in just a few days without faults. Thus we graduated
• 1:28:41
  and at that ceremony the director mentioned Miguel for his honorable performance and representation of
• 1:28:46
  the school at the time he attended it. We never knew more about Miguel
• 1:28:51
  ' s family. We also didn' t know if they later learned the
• 1:28:58
  truth about the only thing we heard from rumors from a colleague who lived very
• 1:29:01
  close to Miguel' s parents' house and who after a few years moved
• 1:29:05
  to another city. It was that when he visited the house where he lived,
• 1:29:10
  he realized that Miguel' s parents' house was abandoned. But the
• 1:29:14
  strange thing is that at the back of it, right in the courtyard,
• 1:29:17
  it had painted some strange symbols, which assumed that they were worshipful of some
• 1:29:24
  malevolent deity or had to do with Satanism. He didn' t want to
• 1:29:29
  know more about it and just left the place. In some moments I came
• 1:29:33
  to think that everything that happened with Michael was really something merely assembled or invented.
• 1:29:40
  I also came to think that the history of the sect had been created
• 1:29:44
  by him because he was a fan of the writer Chepellabcraf like me, but
• 1:29:49
  I discarded the possibility by remembering the ability he had to learn things and how
• 1:29:54
  quickly he became an eminence in certain subjects A to A. In addition to
• 1:29:58
  the ar n o n o s o s o so A detail, he
• 1:30:00
  noticed that sometimes his gaze was deep and mysterious, as if, behind all
• 1:30:05
  that shy and introverted appearance, there was a malevolent and malicious person. And
• 1:30:11
  sometimes, when I remember what happened, I am pleased to have said no
• 1:30:15
  to Michael about being part of the sect. But I also sometimes keep thinking
• 1:30:20
  about whether what Miguel told me was real or just invented it. I still
• 1:30:27
  have some doubts. However, I am afraid to think that the sect really
• 1:30:31
  exists and continues to detain teenagers, as he and I were at the time,
• 1:30:36
  and to take advantage of that for their own benefit, because today I
• 1:30:41
  think that the reason for Michael' s death was because someone of them ordered
• 1:30:44
  him to make him believe that he was going to have some kind of benefit,
• 1:30:49
  when really the benefit was going to do for the person who assigned him
• 1:30:54
  that task and, moreover, because he was very young and probably preparing him
• 1:30:59
  for that moment, in spec r without Miguel realizing, that is, that
• 1:31:03
  he was one of the sacrifices of the many who performed the sect. And
• 1:31:08
  it also makes me chills to think that I could be another victim. If
• 1:31:13
  I had accepted Miguel' s proposal, I would probably have ended up like
• 1:31:16
  him. I would like to comment, before finishing, on all the adolescents
• 1:31:23
  and young people who enter an institution that do not trust the people around them,
• 1:31:28
  because they never know that hides that person who intrigues us, draws attention
• 1:31:31
  to us or sometimes interests us even the people who we believe are our friends,
• 1:31:38
  hide attitudes or secrets that can involve us in wrong actions or even mortal
• 1:31:44
  ones. It is important that you think twice about accepting the invitations that the
• 1:31:49
  companions make, because these can be only to engage them and commit acts that
• 1:31:55
  harm someone’ s life. As it happened to Michael, if my theory
• 1:31:59
  is true, he was a victim of a sect, although it is also
• 1:32:02
  known that everything was with their respective acceptance. Anonymous accounts
