There are many versions of the crybaby. Some are historical, others are romantic
0:10
and some are tragic. I come to speak of a more sinister version and
0:14
of my experience with this dark being I am from the State of Chiapas,
0:20
Ciudad Hidalgo. My city is bordering Guatemala. What separates us is the Suchiate
0:25
River. One cannot cross rowing to go to Tecunumán, but it is more
0:30
common for those there to use it to cross here. I have no idea
0:35
how common the encounters with this crybaby are, but at least none of my
0:39
neighbors have seen it if they' ve heard it, but apparently, I
0:43
' ve been the only unfortunate one to run into her. Well, because
0:48
of my work, I must spend every night by the quarantine bridge that is
0:53
on the road that leads to the city of Tapachula. Usually, I ride
0:58
a motorcycle, but when I' m arrested, I move in a taxi.
1:03
I don' t know what kind of fame my city has, but
1:07
the reality is that it is here. It' s a little dangerous,
1:08
but it' s in certain areas, not everywhere. I am aware of
1:14
the distrust of the police forces, but at least as far as I am
1:18
concerned by the police. It has never stopped me, not without having looked
1:22
for it clearly to those who if they stop, from time to time it
1:26
is to the trailers, especially in the evenings, because on more than one
1:30
occasion accidents have already occurred because some trailer driver fell asleep while driving or because
1:37
it came in an inconvenient state due to certain illegal substances to get to my
1:42
house, I must pass the Church of the Nazarene and turn in the central
1:46
park. I live a few blocks behind the market. That night I had
1:52
gone out a little earlier, so before I got home, I decided to
1:55
go to the Oxo to buy me some cigarettes, some chips and a soda,
2:00
and then I went to sit there near the thing, that giant white
2:05
woman who stores the water in the middle of the central park. I was
2:08
quiet there for a while. About a half hour or so soon I began
2:14
to hear mermaids approaching. Then they passed some National Guard vans and some army
2:21
vehicles. That was to be alarmed, for although it is now more common
2:27
to see the National Guard at that time they were not seen frequently immediately the
2:34
dogs began barking after listening to the sirens. Normal dogs always do that,
2:38
but anyway, it made me uncomfortable alive about five minutes on a motorcycle,
2:45
so the first thing I thought about was leaving. But then I started to
2:47
think that if the National Guard had seen me sitting down and then they saw
2:52
me leaving, maybe they might think I' m hiding from them. So
2:55
I better decide to stay there another time, at least until the sirens were
3:00
heard far enough and the dogs stopped making their scandal. At the time there
3:07
wasn' t as much lighting as now, so the atmosphere there was a
3:12
little bit dark you know and with the background noise of dogs barking, all
3:15
that seemed like something really terrible was going to happen. It' s been
3:23
a few minutes. The area remained in complete silence. Even the wind didn
3:25
' t blow. The dogs also stopped barking abruptly. It was as if
3:30
time had stopped completely and suddenly I heard a grieving, loud scream. He
3:37
did a lot of echoing. It was horrible. Then another scream was heard
3:40
again. It was heartbreaking, as if the person who was shouting was being
3:46
tortured in a rather sadistic and merciless way. Then the dogs barked again,
3:53
but their bark was different. It wasn' t the typical barking. Dogs
3:57
sounded very upset. You could even hear some dogs hitting the bars trying to
4:04
break free. The dogs were crazy. Fear invaded me immediately. I turned
4:12
all the way looking for the origin of the gruesome whining, but I didn
4:16
' t see anything out of the ordinary. Those screams began to sound louder
4:20
and louder and more and more scary. Besides, it seemed that now the
4:26
screams came from different places. That definitely didn' t make any sense anymore.
4:31
My heart was beating hard at me by the hour. My body was
4:36
getting ready to run at any moment, but out of nowhere, the horrible
4:41
screams vanished. I didn' t have any sleep and I hadn' t
4:46
consumed it for at least two months. So definitely, those heartbreaking screams had
4:50
been real the dogs that were still barking at me confirmed that, unfortunately,
4:57
it wasn' t my imagination. He was still. When I felt a
5:01
burn in my hand, I immediately let go of the cigarette and it was
5:08
almost completely consumed. I shook my hand to mitigate the pain while listening.
5:12
As there were fewer and fewer dogs barking. Everyone finally shut up and the
5:17
silence took over the place again. Suddenly in the distance I could see a
5:23
person who was entering the park walking very slowly. I soon realized it was
5:29
a woman. She was barefoot and her hair was long and black. He
5:34
came with his head down, so he couldn' t tell a single detail
5:39
from his face. What I found most curious is that, apparently, he
5:43
had a baby in his arms, I even think he was singing to him.
5:47
It was pretty scary. I actually had the impression that that woman might
5:51
have some illness or mental disorder. I already wanted to go home. Honestly,
5:59
I was really scared about all the weird things that were going on that
6:03
night to get my bike, I had to go in the direction the woman
6:08
was coming from, so I just did. When I passed by her,
6:13
I could not help but notice that her hands and feet were greyish in tone
6:16
and the baby she was carrying had somewhat blue skin. I couldn' t
6:21
see the woman' s face. I remember I could hear you making a
6:26
noise. They weren' t words, they were more like the sound of
6:30
a horse. Something similar. I was with her for less than a second,
6:34
but I became eternal. That woman had a pretty heavy, dense vibe,
6:40
like she did something really bad for some reason. It occurred to me
6:45
to look down and I realized that there was a faint drop of blood where
6:47
the woman had passed. That was a bad sign. Something was definitely wrong
6:54
with that creepy, sinister woman. Suddenly these terrible screams were heard again.
7:00
I felt that my ears were going to burst the whining and lamenting were too
7:05
loud. Immediately after the noise, the barking of the furious dogs was added.
7:12
There was so much noise that I even threw myself to the floor of
7:15
despair that I exceeded myself within a few seconds. The noises stopped, but
7:20
the dogs didn' t shut up, I got up scared and felt the
7:25
need to turn around to see the woman. When I did she was looking
7:29
in my direction. Now if I could see him the face had no skin,
7:33
it was just a skull where the eyes are supposed to go. He
7:38
had a couple of spheres of burning fire and seemed to be crying blood.
7:43
I could see better the creature he was carrying and I understood why the baby
7:47
was crying was dead. I felt a lot of fear and, at the
7:53
same time, the woman began to emit noises like a dying dog. His
7:57
whinings were faint, but consistent r s that fear, gave sadness, melancholy
8:01
and anxiety. The woman turned around and went on her way, while all
8:07
the dogs in the colony were mad and barking. I stayed there for a
8:13
few moments, but then I turned around and ran to my bike. I
8:18
got out of there straight to my house. When I went through the market,
8:22
I could see a dog hitting his wooden house. As he barked with
8:26
all his might. The animal' s eyes were dilated and palpitated. It
8:31
seemed as if the dog was possessed already one block from my house. When
8:37
I heard a deafening noise, I suddenly braked because of the scare. Then,
8:41
at the end of the street, I could see that some National Guard
8:46
vans were passing with the sirens on. I breathed relief, followed my path,
8:52
and finally, after very distressing moments, I came home. My mom
8:56
and my brothers were awake because of the deafening. Concert that all the dogs
9:01
were giving. The first thing I did was ask if anyone had heard what
9:07
had happened. The answer everyone gave me was that they heard the sirens move
9:13
fast. They said they were most likely in pursuit. I insisted on my
9:18
question, but now I was emphasizing whether they had heard screams or anything besides
9:24
the National Guard sirens.“ The dogs were being carried away by the devil
9:30
of courage,” my mother said, holding a cup of coffee. They
9:33
never make so much noise just for the sirens. My sister added it.
9:39
I asked my mother to make me a tea for the scare and we sat
9:41
down to talk there. I told you about my meeting with the dark woman.
9:48
My mother came to me and told me quietly that I had run into
9:50
the crybaby. As soon as my mother said that, our dogs started barking,
10:03
she likes orphans. I' ve been orphaned since I was a child.
10:11
It happened in a road accident. My sisters were fighting and at a
10:15
certain point, one pushed the other and that caused them to end up moving
10:20
one of my father' s arms. He was driving. Next thing I
10:24
know, the truck was upside down. Only I survived In an instant a
10:30
stupid fight took my family away from me. I remember seeing my mother close
10:35
her eyes while I looked scared. It' s very difficult to get over
10:41
something like that. Fortunately, some relatives took care of me. They tucked
10:46
me in as one more of their sons and my cousins became my brothers.
10:52
I was never very smart, but I was committed and persevering. I studied
10:56
at the Hellenic Cultural Institute, but for one thing or another, I had
11:01
to change to the National School of Anthropology and History to graduate. That was,
11:07
without a doubt, one of my greatest achievements. Having the opportunity to
11:11
study the history of Mexico in depth is something incredible. You learn very interesting
11:16
things. One of the things I liked most about the race was discussing myths
11:22
and legends that are part of the Mexican folklore. Some of my last works
11:28
were precisely about all those myths. But from a point of view completely away
11:33
from the paranormal and having read almost two hundred books that compile stories, I
11:39
can safely claim that the legend of the crybaby is Mexico' s popular belief.
11:45
Your Excellency. There' s not a single Mexican who doesn' t
11:50
know the crybaby. Even if I don' t live in Mexico. Every
11:52
Mexican heard at least once about the legend of the crybaby. Indeed, various
11:58
researches have been carried out that seek to give rise to such a memorable myth.
12:05
The oldest record on the crybaby dates back to the time when Mexican territory
12:09
was ruled by Moctezuma. Second, history says that the ruler suffered recurring and
12:18
vivid nightmares that tormented him those dark dreams were rather premonitions about the Spanish conquest
12:24
that would reach a decade later. During a second Moctezuma meeting with his generals,
12:31
it was supposed that there was a woman who appeared crying and lamenting during
12:35
the evenings near the hour, known as Lake Tescoco. It occurred to someone
12:41
to suggest that possibly the complaints of that suffering woman might have some connection to
12:48
the ruler’ s nightmares. Moctezuma presumably ordered an investigation of the mysterious female.
12:56
Those who lived nearby said that the like always allowed laments that were evoked
13:01
toward their children. Moctezuma is presumed to have associated that woman with an ancient
13:07
goddess, with the goddess of motherhood. What Moctezuma could not interpret was the
13:13
reason for the appearance of the goddess who tentatively attempted to warn about the slaughter
13:18
that the Spanish conquerors would cause when they arrived on the American continent. When
13:24
the Spaniards arrived, the woman stopped appearing in the lake of Tescoco and it
13:30
is assumed that it was until after the birth of the new Spain that she
13:33
returned to allegedly pursue her usurped children, that is, all of us who
13:39
are descendants of the forced and bloody cross between the Mechicas and Europeans. With
13:46
those words I finished my job. It seemed like a good ending to my
13:50
bad luck. There was still one thing left to meet face to face with
13:54
the ghost of the crybaby. My research had left me with a bittersweet taste.
14:01
Yes, on a historical level there was not much more to tell,
14:05
but then I began to wonder if, by chance, there was the remote
14:09
possibility that all the stories that are told about the apparitions of the crybaby could
14:15
be real, even a little. It was then that I decided to start
14:20
another investigation. But now, with an open mind, away from the academic,
14:24
I contacted a friend who was studying at the Autonomous University of Mexico City
14:28
and told him about what I was doing. He recommended me to travel to
14:35
Sochimilco to talk to a person who had some stories that might interest me.
14:41
I asked him if he' d be willing to join me and he told
14:46
me he had the weekend available. Two days to go. Saturday afternoon,
14:50
we were already in Sochimilco. My friend took me to an old house.
14:54
Inside lived a man already quite old. I would dare say that by the
15:00
age of ninety the man was blind. I explained to her the reason for
15:05
my visit and she told me that I could ask her only two questions,
15:09
since, according to him, the crybaby doesn' t like to be talked
15:13
about. I thought well the questions I was going to ask and when I
15:18
decided I told the gentleman where I can find her. How I' ll
15:22
know I found her. He replied that the first question was very ambiguous,
15:26
because he said that the crybaby could appear anywhere as long as there was a
15:31
river nearby, but he told me that the canals of Sochimilco during the night
15:35
were a good place to start the search. As for the second question,
15:39
she simply told me if I saw her, there would be no doubt that
15:43
it was her. We were just gonna go. The gift told me one
15:48
more thing be careful. He likes orphans. When the lord said that,
15:54
he turned his face directly to me. Like I said, the gift was
15:58
blind, but I' m sure for a moment his eyes aligned with mine.
16:03
That gave me the creeps. Besides, it was impossible for that gentleman
16:08
to know that I had lost my parents. My friend thanked the lord and
16:14
we left his house. I was confused because of the last thing the gift
16:18
had said to me so I asked my friend where I knew him. He
16:22
replied that he was an old acquaintance of his grandparents. I was trying to
16:27
put aside the old man' s alleged divination powers. When suddenly my friend
16:33
asked me if I was actually going to sail through the canals during the night.
16:37
I said yes. Roads through the streets looking for a boatman who could
16:42
move us through the night. We didn' t take long to find one
16:47
he accepted. He told us 11 o' clock we could find him in
16:49
such a place. It' s time. We were on time. The
16:53
boatman had already arrived. He said he had to cancel an engagement, so
17:00
we had to pay more. Yeah, we had enough money, but we
17:06
wanted to spend it on taking more night, so we protested. We were
17:10
on it. When suddenly we hear a cry, a lament accompanied by tears.
17:15
For a moment I thought it was simply a woman, but when that
17:18
deep cry spread for more than a minute without cutting, I realized that it
17:23
did not come from an ordinary woman. That scream was rough and scratchy made
17:30
me tremble with fear. I could see my friend' s pupils dilated.
17:36
The boatman pulled a rosary out of his pants and held it tight. While
17:40
saliva was passing, I was scared. The regret slowly faded until there was
17:45
silence. Then another scream sounded, but they no longer seemed to cry.
17:51
It sounded more like despair. That scream was grotesque and its sound was ultra
17:56
- tumba. It had a lot of echo and seemed to emerge from everywhere.
18:02
The scream didn' t stop, but it sounded farther and farther.
18:04
So the anchorman told us it was best to get out of there and the
18:10
guy ran wild. We didn' t understand anything. Then, in front
18:17
of our eyes, a woman began to come out of the water. I
18:19
was in shock. My friend pulled me off the shirt and we started running.
18:25
While we were running away my friend, he kept repeating himself. The
18:27
crybaby is the crybaby. We stopped running. When we got to a street
18:33
where there were several people, we were still very upset. We needed a
18:40
drink. Luckily, there was a place near the corner. I' ve
18:45
never tried tequila before. Well, that night served me at least three times.
18:49
We weren' t so nervous anymore. We were there for a while.
18:55
Then again I heard that terrifying regret immediately I turned to see my friend
19:02
his face told me everything. He had heard it too, but apparently,
19:06
we were the only ones, as the rest of the people were still in
19:10
their own business as if nothing had happened. We concluded that we were imagining
19:14
it. We had been so shocked that it was normal for our mind to
19:18
make a bad move on us. I didn' t want to drink anymore,
19:22
but my friend did. Shortly before 2: 00 in the morning,
19:26
my friend was already falling out drunk, so it was time to get paid
19:30
and I helped him out. I wasn' t holding him so he wouldn
19:36
' t fall. While we were walking, there were no people on the
19:41
street but if there were any cars that were passing at speed, we had
19:47
already advanced a couple of blocks. When I heard a noise that lit all
19:49
my alerts, something was crawling behind us. I speeded up the pace a
19:56
little while trying to hear what that noise was. It was a strange sound,
20:02
like the one that makes a cardboard box when it crawls closer and closer.
20:07
I was getting really nervous. I couldn' t take it anymore and
20:11
turned around. She was there walking towards us, in her long, broken
20:17
white dress, with her pale skin and her lost look at my friend even
20:22
took off her drunkness. As soon as she saw the crybaby, we fortunately
20:26
managed to escape. I haven' t seen the crybaby since that time.
20:30
I will never return to his chimilco story written and adapted by Ramiro Contreras
