- 0:05My name is Alex. When I was a child I lived in a small
- 0:09town in my beautiful Oaxaca. My brother and I lived with my parents and
- 0:14my grandfather stoned many nights. When my grandfather didn' t get sleepy,
- 0:19he stayed outside in front of the naffre to warm himself up. My brother
- 0:24Manuel and I would go out and sit next to him. Sometimes he would
- 0:28sing us and play his guitar, sometimes he would tell us about his youth
- 0:33and his life as a teacher. He was very happy to talk to us
- 0:38and we were very funny to be with him. We even had hot tea
- 0:44coffee while we were chatting with him. There was a story he told us
- 0:48that intrigued me and scared me a lot. It was the story about a
- 0:53priest who had been burned over the year 1, 600, the priest was
- 0:58called Francisco Sorcia and was in charge of the main church of the town,
- 1:03a church that until today exists. Everyone in the village venerated him and loved
- 1:07him, for he always did his best to help the needy, even the
- 1:12animals on the street. He was always there to support others and every Sunday
- 1:18he gave a great mass to encourage people to continue their faith in the church.
- 1:23They spent many years like this, they all trusted him and put their
- 1:27lives in their hands. They held parties to celebrate the priest' s life
- 1:33and many brought him baskets, full of fruit or animals like pigs or guajolotes.
- 1:38The life at that time was very quiet and peaceful, but they say
- 1:42that there was something that disturbed the whole town, something they would never have
- 1:48imagined. The controversy began when one of the helpers of the Church, a
- 1:53devout young man who was deeply committed to his work in the House of God,
- 1:59had raised a very serious accusation against Father Francis. His trembling voice had
- 2:04proclaimed to all ears ready to hear that the priest, the person whom all
- 2:08admired and respected, had succumbed to evil, for there was evidence that he
- 2:14was in favour of Lucifer himself. The evidence of his statement was a set
- 2:20of things he had discovered in the father' s private room. When,
- 2:23by wanting to do something kind, he decided to clean it up, the
- 2:30assistant described with horror the objects he had found, detailing precisely each one of
- 2:35them. The first of these elements were black candles of a dark one so
- 2:39deep that it seemed to absorb the light around it. They were not the
- 2:45typical candles used during the liturgy. They were candles that had very strange writings.
- 2:51In addition, he had found images of the devil. They were really
- 2:55ugly and disturbing images that showed Lucifer in all his infamy. These were not
- 3:01simple illustrations, but had an appalling level of detail. The pentagram is a
- 3:08symbol known in occultism and satanic worship. It had also been discovered by that
- 3:15boy in the father' s room. This sign, often related to black
- 3:20magic and pagan rituals, made it clear that it was not a game or
- 3:24a joke, but something completely real. But the most horrible thing of all
- 3:30was the Bibles. They were not the sacred scriptures as they were known,
- 3:37but had been profaned. They were stained with blood, suggesting the performance of
- 3:43satanic rituals. In addition, his covers and pages were painted black, as
- 3:50if trying to hide the light and the truth written in a sacred book.
- 3:54These unpleasant discoveries in the father' s room not only generated a tumult in
- 4:00the religious community, but also sowed doubts and fears in the hearts of the
- 4:05parishioners. The image of a supposedly pious and devout father stained by dark and
- 4:12satanic practices sparked a whirlwind of questions and suspicions in the church and in the
- 4:16community at large. So other parents in the village went to find out if
- 4:23that was true so as not to take action against a lie and without giving
- 4:27any clues, they went to the father' s room. When they opened
- 4:30the door, the father was stuck on the ground praying and they realized that
- 4:34everything was true. There were horrible traces of witchcraft and Satanism. It was
- 4:41something disgusting and something that caused the disgust of the parents, many horrible images
- 4:46of the devil, staves and written on the wall that made no sense.
- 4:53Even the crosses that were on the wall were turned upside down, for they
- 4:57say that the devil is the greatest imitator of God. The priest Francis,
- 5:01realizing that he had been discovered, shouted at them to leave, but the
- 5:06parents told him that he had to pay for his sins the priest liar.
- 5:12He told them that nothing was what it seemed, that all that was God
- 5:16’ s work and things like that. What made the parents even more angry
- 5:19because they were mocking the Catholic Church and that they could not allow. The
- 5:27people of the village were summoned out of there to face him. Many people
- 5:31did not believe anything the parents said, because they fervently believed in Father Francis.
- 5:39He had helped them and it was not possible that those things they said
- 5:43about him were true. They said it was probably a parent' s envy.
- 5:48So the first thing that happened was he was arrested. And after that
- 5:51it was concluded that the best punishment would be to burn him alive so that
- 5:57he would burn as he was going to burn in hell for mocking God.
- 6:01Three days after the discovery, the people were called to witness the punishment of
- 6:05the father to see how he burned alive. Many people protested hours before the
- 6:13punishment of the priest Francis, asking that they not burn him, that he
- 6:16was a good priest, that many of them had been fed when they were
- 6:21hungry, had given water to those who were thirsty and had led those who
- 6:25no longer had faith. But none of that served the other parents, who,
- 6:31with their own eyes, had seen what the priest Francis was hiding in
- 6:35the back of his room. So the decision was already made. The priest
- 6:42Francis kept saying that he was innocent, that it was not what it seemed,
- 6:46even though they already knew it was true. The boy who had accused
- 6:50him went to see him in the cell and Father Francis when he saw him
- 6:56began to curse him and spit on him. The young man was glad to
- 7:00have unmasked him because he knew that they would get rid of a liar Before
- 7:06he left, he asked the father because he had been good to the people
- 7:10of the village, and he told him that some of the Sunday prayers were
- 7:15actually for the devil and that if he earned them, then they could join
- 7:19his lord The Devil as well and have many people in his sect. The
- 7:24day came and they took the father to the center of the city and made
- 7:28a campfire where they put Father Francis in that moment, while burning in flames,
- 7:33began to curse the whole town blaspheming also something that greatly surprised the people
- 7:40who still had faith in him, as they realized that everything that had been
- 7:44said was true. Many ladies even cried out for the truth of the father
- 7:49and others shouted things like a liar and you' re going straight to hell.
- 7:57While the father' s body was burning, strange figures were seen in
- 8:01the smoke and in the flames. It was a very unpleasant scenario, something
- 8:05that many preferred not to see anymore as a human being died screaming in the
- 8:11fire. Finally, only the bones of that father who had been in charge
- 8:16of cursing the people and inducing them to worship satan in life remained. It
- 8:20wasn' t the same back there. After that horrible episode. Many no
- 8:26longer believed in the Church, for they feared that one of the other parents
- 8:31was also doing these diabolical practices and there was nothing to guarantee that what they
- 8:35said at Mass was a lie. In those years, many people did not
- 8:41know how to read so they fully believed in what the Government and the Church
- 8:45were saying. However, they were not ignorant to continue believing in the word
- 8:50of the parents and for a long time on Sundays, the Church was completely
- 8:54empty. That worried church parents that there was no more tithe, even though
- 9:00they were even going to ask for it at home. But after Father Francis,
- 9:05they no longer wanted to know anything about the People' s Church.
- 9:11For that reason, the souls of the people were unprotected without the word of
- 9:16God or the Devil, and in those years there were many shortages, much
- 9:20hunger, very intense colds, lack of water and extreme poverty. People rumored
- 9:26that the good of the past years was actually because of the Devil for praying
- 9:31to him, for worshipping him even without knowing. But everyone preferred lack before
- 9:37returning to the Church. After several generations in which they said that God had
- 9:43forsaken them, the new ones and those came and trusted the Church again to
- 9:46this day. That macabre story my grandfather told us repeatedly made me think a
- 9:54lot and always had questions for him. At that age we did not understand
- 10:00much about religion. So several parts of the story seemed confusing to me.
- 10:05My parents scolded Grandpa Pedrito when he told us that kind of thing. They
- 10:09told him that we were small to understand and listen to those stories, but
- 10:16Grandpa said he wanted us to tell our grandchildren one day too. Above all,
- 10:20I remember that there was a specific occasion after Grandpa told us that story.
- 10:28I couldn' t sleep. I was very afraid to know that there
- 10:31were such people who worshiped the devil. Anyway, the damn priest' s
- 10:37story triggered a series of events that marked me for life, being still a
- 10:43nine- year- old boy. I remember going with my brother Manuel for
- 10:48some errands that our parents had asked for. We had to go for a
- 10:54basket of bread and then bring it to the Church to Father Jesus Guerrero,
- 10:58the head of the Church. My parents used to take something to the father
- 11:03from time to time in gratitude for his kindness and to spread his teachings and
- 11:07the word of God over all the people. I remember it was a bit
- 11:13late, about six o' clock in the afternoon, when the warm bread
- 11:16came out, so we waited in the long line of people going for bread
- 11:22as well while we waited. My brother Manuel began to tell me that we
- 11:26were going to the Church that perhaps Father Jesus was not as good as he
- 11:31looked. I told him in a tone of disapproval that he would stop saying
- 11:37nonsense that the story Grandpa told us had happened a long time ago and in
- 11:41those times. Everything was different. Manuel kept saying the same thing, he
- 11:48even began to imitate Father Francis making noises and movements as if he was burning
- 11:54to what I told him to stop doing those things. Several people in the
- 11:58beast looked at us, some turned their eyes and others saw us ugly.
- 12:05It took about ten minutes and we finally went to the bakery. We had
- 12:09several shells, crockery, pastry breads and some cookies that we took to the
- 12:16box to get them into the basket. We pay and walk towards the Church.
- 12:22We were in winter, so we had the same schedule today, where
- 12:26it was dark at about six o' clock, so the road was a
- 12:31little dark, but everything was more enjoyable, because we were talking and joking.
- 12:35My brother Manuel, a strong seven- year- old boy, was
- 12:41my faithful companion. In these adventures we got along exceptionally well. Beyond the
- 12:46simple relationship of brothers. He was my best friend. We spent most of
- 12:52our time together, sharing laughter, dreams and anecdotes. When he was sent
- 12:58to some task or to buy something, I was always there to accompany him,
- 13:03and the same happened the other way around. If I was given an
- 13:07errand, he wouldn' t hesitate to join me. That evening we walked
- 13:13a good time talking about coloring books our toys and that kind of thing,
- 13:18but my brother spoke again about the theme of Father Francis, the story he
- 13:24told us. Grandpa didn' t really understand why he was so obsessed with
- 13:30the subject that day, if we had several times gone to church to leave
- 13:33things to the father and never said anything about it. And the truth,
- 13:39as a child, began to frighten me and I began to imagine the scenario
- 13:45that my brother was saying, where the present Father of the people, Father
- 13:48Jesus, was actually a bad person and hid bad things deep in the Church.
- 13:54My nervous laughter denoted fear and my brother realized, even though he was
- 14:00smaller, he was very fond of the horror stories he told us. Grandpa
- 14:05loved those themes and always drew monsters with horrible tongs, ugly faces, tentacles,
- 14:11green, black or red. I was struck by those themes, but
- 14:18I preferred cartoons or drawing my family. Grandpa Pedrito always told us that he
- 14:26was proud of how brave we were at our age, something that he did
- 14:30not know if it was entirely true, because I was afraid of many things.
- 14:35Anyway, we kept walking and I told Manuel to shut up, stop
- 14:39talking about the burnt father, but he laughed more and more and he wouldn
- 14:43' t listen to me. He told me it was his favorite story and
- 14:48asked me if I thought it had really happened or it was just an invention
- 14:52of Grandpa. I told him that it was surely not true, that it
- 14:58was a simple legend, something that south had only been told from generation to
- 15:01generation, like the story of the Llorona and that, in case it had
- 15:05really happened maybe it had not been as horrible as Grandpa told it. We
- 15:11began to talk a lot about the subject, although I was afraid. It
- 15:16would be a lie to say it wasn' t interesting. I can say
- 15:20that the way, rather than seem shorter, seemed eternal. I felt like
- 15:26we were walking and walking and we didn' t get to the Church.
- 15:31We kept talking and finally arrived we entered and the Church was completely empty the
- 15:39light of the hanging lamps illuminated the wooden benches and gave an aspect of peace.
- 15:43We said the name of Father Jesus out loud, because we knew he
- 15:48was probably out there as usual, but no one answered. I told Manuel
- 15:52to wait for a few minutes that he might have gone to the bathroom or
- 15:58was bathing, although being frank, it was weird for me to leave the
- 16:02church alone. Normally there was at least the father' s helper, but
- 16:07we waited a while and called Father Jesus again, but again no one answered
- 16:11until a voice came out from behind the main altar and said children, pass
- 16:18him by are at home. Sorry I was busy. Hundreds of times we
- 16:25had heard the father' s voice at Masses or when we were going to
- 16:30visit him, but that time it sounded strange. It was more serious as
- 16:33if he was sick from his throat. And that' s exactly what I
- 16:37thought. Manuel told him that we had taken Pani and he with the same
- 16:41voice, told us to pass to the other side of the altar, where
- 16:47no one passed only the Father and his sacristans. That seemed even more strange
- 16:52to us, because all the times we had gone to see him, he
- 16:56received us in the Church as such on the benches and began to talk with
- 17:00us. I told him out loud that if he could get out, because
- 17:04we were in a hurry, but he responded saying he couldn' t,
- 17:10because he was undressed and in civilian clothes and if anyone else in town saw
- 17:15him they would be upset. We kept thinking and Manuel started walking there,
- 17:18but I held him by the arm and said no. My brother stared at
- 17:25me and I told him that everything was very strange and that it was better
- 17:29for us to leave. He nodded with his head and when we were going
- 17:33to start walking toward the exit, the father' s voice was heard again
- 17:37and told us that he really wanted the bread to please pass. Although deep
- 17:42down I knew something was wrong. His voice seemed to envelop us and we
- 17:48headed behind the main altar. There were several rooms and a long corridor.
- 17:55We didn' t see him later, so we asked his name out loud
- 17:59and r and r was heard in the distance in one of the rooms and
- 18:02said to pass by, follow his voice and walk down the hall. We
- 18:07' ve never seen the church inside, so it was really weird. Everything
- 18:12looked a little careless and old. The metal doors looked rusty and the wood
- 18:18was already damaged. The father' s voice seemed to come from everywhere and
- 18:25nowhere really, so for a moment we got confused and walked around the hall,
- 18:29where there was a room at the bottom, with the door completely closed
- 18:33and had a lock that seemed to have been broken. By the way.
- 18:38We heard the father' s voice right there, so we walked to that
- 18:42room. We slowly opened the door and gnashed at how old a sulfur smell
- 18:48was coming out of that place when the door was completely open. First everything
- 18:56was darkness until our eyes adapted and what we saw made us vomit. The
- 19:02room was very old and as soon as we set foot inside, we set
- 19:07out running, but the door closed behind us, something that made my brother
- 19:11very nervous. There was a bed in the back with a wooden base.
- 19:18Half of it had already been eaten by moths. The color was coffee over
- 19:22time and there was a table in the center with a black tablecloth. In
- 19:26it were very old Bibles covered with what appeared to be blood. There were
- 19:33very rare images and strange figures drawn on the wall. My brother and I
- 19:38took a step back and suddenly the door opened slowly and when we set out
- 19:45right at the entrance, we ran into something that I have not yet managed
- 19:49to forget. He was a burnt man, his eyes were totally black and
- 19:56he was wearing a coffee cassock. He was the priest Francis, the priest
- 20:00of history. My brother dropped the basket of bread and began to vomit and
- 20:06then. Me too later we started screaming and that disgusting entity told us that
- 20:12we had been making fun of him and that we were going to pay for
- 20:15it. Very expensive. He took my brother by the neck with his hand
- 20:19burned, which left Manuel' s hand marked as if he had burned.
- 20:26Our cries were heard by Father Jesus, who had just arrived. When he
- 20:32saw us there trembling with fear, he asked us what we were doing there,
- 20:37but we couldn' t even answer him. We were sweating cold and
- 20:41we couldn' t even talk about everything at that table. He seemed to
- 20:45have disappeared, as did the burnt priest when Father Jesus arrived. Later,
- 20:52Father Jesus took us to the benches of the Church and gave us a glass
- 20:56of water. A while later, we s s s s s s o
- 20:59s had gone out because one of the ladies of the village had sent him
- 21:03to bring emergency and finally we could tell him what had happened. He told
- 21:08us that maybe we had imagined everything, even though he had seen Manuel'
- 21:12s burn, but instead of denying it, we didn' t say anything,
- 21:18we already wanted to go home. He took us to our parents and
- 21:22Grandpa Pedrito. We simply told our parents that Manuel had been burned by accident.
- 21:30My mother cured him and then we went to tell Grandpa, Grandpa Pedrito.
- 21:34Nothing surprised. He told us that sometimes they' re not all legends
- 21:38and that we shouldn' t make fun of that kind of thing. Or
- 21:42if they couldn' t come after us. He gave us a hug and
- 21:47told us that for the moment there would be no more horror stories. It
- 21:52' s been many years since that, but I remember perfectly the priest Francis
- 21:57wanting to hurt us and that many times we don' t know all the
- 22:00stories are false.
