4 Relatos Aterradores De Pactos Satánicos Y Maldiciones - Historias De Terror - Voces De La Noche · Niebla en el bosque con Evelith von

  Anna and David were a happy couple. They' d met in high school.
• 0:09
  As the hours of recess passed. David fell in love with Anna his
• 0:14
  walk and as her hair moved with the wind. Ana likewise, when she
• 0:18
  met David, she fell at her feet because of her charisma and great sense
• 0:22
  of humor. It was love at first sight. They were always together.
• 0:27
  Nothing and no one can separate them. Everyone said he was the perfect couple,
• 0:32
  since they never fought or had problems, and when they had them,
• 0:36
  they solved us together. Both were supportive and words of encouragement were given.
• 0:40
  In the dark days. His love was too great and unbreakable. That relationship
• 0:46
  lasted many years and resulted in a spectacular wedding, a great party full of
• 0:51
  happiness along with friends, family and loved ones the couple with their savings,
• 0:57
  bought their home, where they were willing to create a family within a home
• 1:00
  full of love. It wasn' t long before they had a stable home
• 1:07
  for the couple. They knew it was time to have a new member in
• 1:10
  the family. Their hearts longed for the sweet gift of fatherhood, to have
• 1:15
  a baby that would give life to their existence. However, not everything could
• 1:18
  be perfect and fate seemed to have denied them such a deep- rooted desire
• 1:25
  as they tried, they could not conceive of dwarf life. They had consulted
• 1:30
  renowned fertility doctors who had given them a cruel reality one after the other.
• 1:38
  The probability of conceiving a child was almost non- existent. The diagnoses were
• 1:44
  varied, but all shared the same warning. There was little hope and they
• 1:49
  were better advised to choose the option of adopting a small one, but they
• 1:53
  refused to do so. They knew if they kept trying, they' d
• 1:57
  finally make it. The months passed. Ana and David underwent countless treatments,
• 2:05
  exhausted their savings in costly therapies and medical procedures, but the result was always
• 2:10
  the same. An empty space in his home, a place in a crib
• 2:15
  waiting to be occupied by a small being who seemed to refuse to enter that
• 2:21
  home that Anna and David had built with much love. The house that once
• 2:25
  contained laughter and joy gradually transformed into a space with overwhelming silence, interrupted only
• 2:30
  by the cries of Ana, who at night felt more vulnerable by the misfortune
• 2:35
  that accompanied her, the tension in her marriage grew as a threatening shadow and
• 2:40
  the whispers of doubt and resentment. What had never happened in the relationship at
• 2:47
  last had come indifference in eye and frustration. David found the courage to share
• 2:54
  it with Anna and not to bring it down. After all, the love
• 3:00
  of the two of them. In spite of everything, even the aunt with
• 3:04
  intensity one night, as they watched the moon from the window of her room,
• 3:09
  Anne felt a presence watching her. The air felt very heavy, as
• 3:15
  if something or someone else were present in his room. Hidden in the dark.
• 3:20
  David solved the problem by saying it was tired because of the situation they
• 3:24
  were living. She hugged Anna tightly, kissed her head and took her to
• 3:29
  bed to sleep. That same night, David had a dream in him.
• 3:35
  David entered a room painted with drawings of babies, a blue wall, toys
• 3:39
  and stuffed animals filled the room and in the center a crib. David in
• 3:45
  the dream was drawn to the cradle and one thing that caught his attention was
• 3:49
  the crying of a little one. Apparently, he was inside that crib.
• 3:54
  As she approached the cradle, Anna appeared entering the room with a mommy calling
• 3:59
  in her hand, raising the little one and giving him her vibron. Ana
• 4:02
  with the baby in her arm, smiled at David and said look at him
• 4:06
  is your son, David, woke up with weeping eyes, looked at his
• 4:12
  wife, was sleeping, caressed her hair and that' s when she made
• 4:16
  the decision to do anything so that she could bring that dream to reality.
• 4:21
  David had consulted the best specialist doctors, the best methods, but none served
• 4:28
  him, so he saw the need to explore less conventional paths. The couple
• 4:34
  began to investigate ancient legends and went into the area of the occult in search
• 4:40
  of answers that no other doctor could offer them. However, these mythical processes
• 4:46
  were not quite so sure. Ana felt that it was not a good option
• 4:51
  to choose that path, so she made them stop what David was a little
• 4:56
  upset about Ana' s decision doubted if she really wanted to have the baby
• 5:00
  Ana got upset. They started arguing. David decided to listen for a while
• 5:06
  and return until he was calmer. The cold and dark night had fallen.
• 5:13
  David walked through the darkest park in the city, which was next to a
• 5:16
  large mountain that, on the other side, connected with the cemetery of the
• 5:20
  city, focused on his thoughts and the dream of that night. Suddenly,
• 5:26
  as he was on his way to a bench to sit down, he noticed
• 5:30
  a lonely woman sitting on a bench. His presence seemed unusual in that place.
• 5:35
  Late at night. She was tall and thin, with a long black
• 5:41
  hair falling on her shoulders and her skin had a peculiar shine under the light
• 5:46
  of the full moon. The woman immediately noticed David' s presence and with
• 5:50
  an enigmatic smile, looked up at him and his eyes of an intense brown
• 5:56
  color stared at him, as if they knew his deepest thoughts, as if
• 6:01
  he had seen his whole life pass with just looking at him. He approached
• 6:06
  him and David could not help but feel a mixture of fear and curiosity,
• 6:11
  for he did not know that he wanted such a strange woman. The woman
• 6:15
  faced David, approached his ear and said in a soft but mysterious tone.
• 6:20
  David I have heard your wishes and I regret your suffering. I know you
• 6:26
  want a son more than anything in the world and tonight, under the full
• 6:29
  moon, you have a unique chance. David looked at her with surprise.
• 6:34
  How did this woman know about her innermost desire, a desire that only he
• 6:39
  and his wife knew. Curiosity led him to ask who you are how you
• 6:45
  know this. The woman smiled with a smile that seemed to have centuries of
• 6:50
  wisdom and mysteries I am someone who has existed among the shadows, someone who
• 6:56
  has seen the birth and death of infinite amounts of dreams. Tonight. If
• 7:00
  you follow my Council you will be able to realize your desire to procreate along
• 7:05
  with your beloved and thus fulfill his greatest longing. David looked at her with
• 7:11
  despair and hope. His words had impacted within him. Apparently, he had
• 7:15
  been convinced by a warm light of hope that illuminated David’ s life He
• 7:23
  immediately asked what I should do. She came even closer and quietly revealed to
• 7:26
  her an ancient ritual that, according to her, only he should know.
• 7:30
  He told her that he would have to do it when the moon was under
• 7:33
  the mountain in its greatest glow and after that, he would have to go
• 7:38
  home to his wife and make love to her as if it were the first
• 7:42
  and last time he did. She assured him that later life would reach Anna
• 7:46
  ' s womb. He warned her not to share it with anyone, not
• 7:50
  even his beloved wife. Only thus assured the strange woman, the desired child
• 7:57
  could come into their lives. Davida felt she accepted the mysterious offer that extended
• 8:03
  before him. He knew that what he was doing was against his beliefs,
• 8:09
  but his desire for a son had led him to a point of unimaginable despair.
• 8:15
  David looked at the moon almost time to do the ritual. Before she
• 8:18
  left, the woman warned one last thing. The baby miracle would come with
• 8:24
  a price one he could know when the time came. This uncertainty troubled him
• 8:30
  deeply, but he also felt that he was willing to pay any price to
• 8:35
  make his dream of being a father come true. David looked up into the
• 8:39
  sky. When he looked down at the woman he had disappeared back into the
• 8:43
  sun. The look at the full moon was approaching the exact point. David
• 8:48
  quickly ran to the top of the mountain. He prepared to perform the ritual.
• 8:52
  That the strange woman had revealed to him could not help but feel a
• 8:58
  mixture of emotion and fear, but he was willing to do anything to give
• 9:03
  his wife the gift they both so desired. At the end of the ritual,
• 9:07
  an air struck David. He thought it was a sign, but it
• 9:11
  wasn' t over yet. I had to go with Ana to finish the
• 9:16
  ritual so that the baby would soon come into their lives. David returned and
• 9:18
  quickly sought out Anna. Unfortunately, she found her sitting there looking at the
• 9:24
  window, thinking about the situation that was going on. David took a chair
• 9:28
  and sat next to it. He began to speak to her in a very
• 9:33
  tender way, as if he were conquering her. For the first time he
• 9:37
  gave her the best words of encouragement anyone had ever said. He took her
• 9:41
  by the hand. He caused him to rise from the chair, both of
• 9:46
  them looking face to face, and David said I will always love you despite
• 9:50
  all the adversities that come upon us and take you with me all my life.
• 9:54
  He kissed his forehead. Ana kissed him passionately. They joined their bodies
• 9:58
  as they had never done as if it had been a farewell, but in
• 10:03
  the end the ritual was over. There was just waiting. The days passed
• 10:09
  became weeks and finally, after months of uncertainty, for David, Anna any
• 10:13
  day, when her beloved returned home, announced with tears in her eyes and
• 10:18
  excited that she was pregnant. The news filled their lives with joy and hope
• 10:26
  what they had been waiting for years. At last happiness had arrived and the
• 10:30
  color returned home. David seemed to have temporarily forgotten the mysterious woman' s
• 10:37
  strange warning. Ana' s pregnancy progressed smoothly and the couple prepared to welcome
• 10:43
  her son with enthusiasm and love. David set out to prepare the room he
• 10:48
  had seen in his dream. He filled it with stuffed toys. He bought
• 10:54
  baby clothes all he needed to make sure that he didn' t need anything
• 10:58
  on the baby' s arrival. However, as time passed, David began
• 11:03
  to experience disturbing visions and strange dreams that tormented him at night. Images of
• 11:11
  an indistinct shadow and figure lurked in the corners of his mind. David began
• 11:16
  to worry about the baby' s condition, to which he asked Anne every
• 11:20
  moment if she was well in health and mentally, Ana, at first she
• 11:24
  understood the concern, but she came to a point where she made it and
• 11:30
  told her a little upset that when she felt bad, she would let her
• 11:33
  know. David forgot the worries and went for a walk to relax the.
• 11:37
  Mind, walking through the lonely streets, the mysterious woman reappeared in her life,
• 11:43
  with her penetrating gaze and enigmatic smile. David whispered. It' s
• 11:48
  time to stick to your end of the bargain. The price for the baby
• 11:54
  miracle is in front of you, but only you can make this decision.
• 11:58
  David, distressed and confused, asked him what the woman should do, explained
• 12:05
  that at some point, during Anna' s birth, a critical choice would
• 12:09
  be presented. An unusual and frightening event would arise and he would have to
• 12:15
  decide whether to go ahead with the birth, despite the cost or to have
• 12:18
  it to avoid the price he still did not know.“ Your child’
• 12:22
  s fate depends on your choice,” the woman said,“ and once
• 12:28
  you make that decision, there will be no turning back. Darkness has made,
• 12:31
  but only you can face it with your heart. In a fist and
• 12:37
  mind full of doubts. He realized that he was facing the most difficult decision
• 12:41
  of his life, but he was willing to risk everything for his family.
• 12:46
  But the price of the miracle was still a mystery that tormented him. The
• 12:50
  woman disappeared among the passing cars. David returned home and as he entered he
• 12:56
  saw his wife very happy. The baby had given his first pasta. They
• 13:01
  took Ana to the doctor. The next morning they were able to see their
• 13:05
  son for the first time. The baby did not move much, but moved
• 13:07
  both people what they had so much desired. I was finally making it happen.
• 13:13
  David said it was a dream from which he did not want to awaken
• 13:18
  himself. She approached Anna' s womb and spoke with love. I won
• 13:20
  ' t let anything bad happen to you. Time never passed. The full
• 13:26
  moon night was approaching again and with it the scheduled date for Ana' s
• 13:31
  birth. David was trapped in a sea of emotions. In a few hours,
• 13:35
  he would finally meet his son, who would come from the woman he
• 13:39
  had loved most in his life for nothing could go wrong. I was living.
• 13:45
  The perfect dream hugged his wife and set out to sleep. The next
• 13:50
  morning would be a long day. David fell from exhaustion and anxiety for months.
• 13:58
  He entered a deep sleep, where he found himself in his home with
• 14:03
  Anna and her newborn within his cradle, wrapped in a happiness they had longed
• 14:07
  for for so long. It was the perfect scene, a vision of the
• 14:13
  family they had always wanted to have. However, the tranquility was disturbed by
• 14:20
  the arrival of a disquieting shadow that moved in the corners of the room.
• 14:24
  The mysterious woman came out of the shadows. His figure was sliding into the
• 14:30
  baby' s crib. David felt a knot in his stomach as he watched
• 14:35
  impotently as she held the child in her arms. What are you doing?
• 14:39
  David shouted in his dream, but his words seemed to fade away. In
• 14:43
  the air of the nightmare she looked at Anna, but she remained motionless,
• 14:48
  without any expression or movement. The woman looked at him with her eyes.
• 14:54
  His macabre expression is the price of the miracle. David whispered in a tone
• 14:58
  that permeated his before the life of your son. It' s the price
• 15:03
  and it' s time to claim it. The horror of that nightmare gripped
• 15:07
  David as he watched the woman walk away with her newborn in her arms.
• 15:13
  Her screams resounded in the darkness of her sleep, but it was impossible to
• 15:18
  stop her She immediately woke up sweating and beating uncontrollably with her heart. It
• 15:22
  was dawning and the sun was rising. Birds sang, people on the outside
• 15:28
  laughed. It was all happiness. The baby was few hours away from reaching
• 15:33
  this world the life trapped in the terror of the dream he had had.
• 15:37
  He had several unresolved thoughts and questions. It was just a dream or a
• 15:43
  premonition of what was to come. Before Ana' s birth, David went
• 15:48
  for a walk immediately to clear her mind, but something caused her to enter
• 15:52
  the park, where she had first met the mysterious woman. Already there he
• 15:58
  remembered that dream of the night before and began to wish to find answers.
• 16:03
  A logical explanation for the events that had been taking place and as if their
• 16:08
  desires came true. The woman appeared among the shadows of the trees. The
• 16:15
  desperate man approached the woman. I wanted answers immediately. The woman noticed David
• 16:19
  ' s concern and spoke first. David has come the time to face the
• 16:25
  truth. The price of the miracle. It' s a life in exchange
• 16:29
  for the life you' ve longed for so much. You' ll have
• 16:33
  to choose your wife or your son. At the time of hearing those words,
• 16:37
  coming out of the woman’ s mouth, David was overwhelmed by an
• 16:41
  impossible decision that had to be made. He loved his wife and wanted to
• 16:45
  have a child. With all his being He was in a dilemma that would
• 16:48
  lead him to sacrifice one life to give life to another. The woman continued.
• 16:55
  Remember David the fate of your family is in your hands. But keep
• 17:00
  in mind that each election will have consequences and I will be present in each
• 17:04
  of them. And there' s no turning back. David was paralyzed by
• 17:08
  the gravity of the situation. I knew I couldn' t escape this curse.
• 17:14
  The price of the miracle I had so much dreamed of would be higher
• 17:18
  than I would ever have imagined. His wife' s life or that of
• 17:22
  his son depended on a thread and the choice he had to make would lead
• 17:26
  him to face a dilemma that challenged the limits of his love and despair.
• 17:32
  David, desperate for the situation he was in and thinking of all possible scenarios,
• 17:36
  received an urgent call from his wife as he ran home. Since the
• 17:41
  encounter with the woman, the baby was on his way and he didn'
• 17:48
  t have time to think about his decision. The couple arrived at the hospital,
• 17:52
  which was a chaos of activity. When David and Anna arrived, the
• 17:56
  nurses and doctors rushed to prepare Anna for delivery. Anxiety consumed him while he
• 18:03
  waited in the hall of the operating room, knowing that the time of election
• 18:07
  was near. Inside the O R, Ana struggled with the pain of childbirth.
• 18:12
  His screams filled the room. David completely alone in the hallway felt trapped
• 18:18
  between two sides, that of his wife and that of the mysterious woman who
• 18:22
  had placed him. In this terrible situation, the woman’ s words had
• 18:27
  made David forget the illusion that made him have a child. She was walking
• 18:33
  around the hall and Anna kept screaming from the pain. Doctors supporting the woman.
• 18:38
  David as he turned back, plucked his hair out of despair, and
• 18:42
  suddenly the spotlights in the hallway began to blink. David searched everywhere, knowing
• 18:49
  that she was there. He was turning but nothing until he finally showed up
• 18:55
  in front of her. His chilling voice, his words became present and imbued
• 18:59
  with nr with a great echo. She or baby David chooses. David’
• 19:04
  s heart accelerated as he faced the unimaginable decision to make. He was to
• 19:11
  save his wife from the love of her life, but losing her son or
• 19:17
  sacrificing Anna to bring to life the baby they had so passionately desired for her
• 19:22
  mind. They spent all the beautiful moments with Anna, from the time they
• 19:26
  met in high school until the last time love had consumed them. Tears flooded
• 19:33
  David’ s eyes, as his mind debated between love for his wife and
• 19:37
  the life of his son. At birth the waiting room became a whirl of
• 19:41
  mixed emotions, while the seconds became an endless agony within the operating room.
• 19:51
  Anna was still struggling to give birth without suspecting the tragedy her husband was going
• 19:56
  through. The mysterious woman continued to err waiting, prolonging the suffering of Ana
• 20:03
  ' s birth and the arrival of baby David in the midst of overwhelming pressure
• 20:07
  of choice. He felt his legs shaking and collapsing in the hallway. Tears
• 20:14
  flooded, her eyes lowered her head and her broken voice could barely whisper.
• 20:18
  She, my wife, the mysterious woman, slowly faded into the dark as
• 20:26
  she smiled and said goodbye to David. She would have achieved her goal,
• 20:30
  a life for another life. The O R was filled with a gloomy silence
• 20:36
  when Ana' s voice stopped listening. The baby was born and his crying
• 20:40
  was noticed in there, but the joy of that moment was mixed with the
• 20:45
  tragedy. David, with his heart broken, eagerly awaited the news that he
• 20:51
  already knew. The doctor left the operating room with a severe expression on his
• 20:56
  face. Anna had died during the game. Her life had been sacrificed to
• 21:02
  give birth to her child' s crying. It became a heartbreaking echo of
• 21:07
  the tragedy that had happened. David entered the operating room to see his newborn
• 21:12
  son, a mixture of love and pain, holding the little one in his
• 21:17
  arms and watching them take away the woman he loved during his life. The
• 21:22
  mysterious woman, though having performed her part of the bargain, had left an
• 21:27
  indelible scar in David’ s heart. The following months were marked by a
• 21:33
  gloomy silence in David' s life, raising the baby alone without his beloved
• 21:38
  Anna at his side, became an emotional challenge. Although he had accomplished the
• 21:44
  miracle of fatherhood, he had lost the woman he loved the most. Every
• 21:48
  time the baby cried. The memory of that day that was supposed to be
• 21:52
  the best of their lives tormented him. The baby, named by Danyo,
• 21:57
  grew up in an atmosphere of sadness, haste and loneliness. Although David did
• 22:02
  all he could to give him love and care, As time passed, he
• 22:07
  began to show a disquieting personality, as if carrying with him a burden of
• 22:11
  darkness that came from the choice that had led to his birth. As the
• 22:18
  little one grew older, strange events became more and more frequent. David found
• 22:25
  objects elsewhere, heard laughter from a woman, and sometimes had fleeting visions of
• 22:30
  a shadow lurking around him. Daniel, the child, who had been the
• 22:36
  result of a tragic choice, seemed to be connected to his mother' s
• 22:41
  presence in some inexplicable way. Years passed. In the end, David was
• 22:47
  able to give him the love of a father and mother he was always giving
• 22:52
  him the affection that both had kept for him. As time progressed. Daniel
• 22:56
  became an adult and David grew old. Daniel found love so he married young.
• 23:00
  His father could sense the happiness of the couple. He reminded him of
• 23:06
  those times when he too had experienced love. It' s been months.
• 23:10
  Daniel told his father that he wanted to have a daughter, but he couldn
• 23:14
  ' t give that daughter to his wife. His father was reminded of the
• 23:18
  dark days that passed. He advised them to choose to adopt that if doctors
• 23:23
  saw it impossible, adoption was the best option. Damage was surprised by the
• 23:30
  Council given to him by his father, who had always struggled to get what
• 23:34
  he wanted. His father had already experienced that anguish and did not want his
• 23:40
  son to go through the same thing. On a sunny day, Daniel arrived
• 23:45
  happily at his father' s house. He asked her why she was so
• 23:48
  happy. The son replied that his wife was pregnant. When David heard that,
• 23:52
  he hugged the son very strongly, congratulated him, and when he released
• 23:57
  him he saw behind his son the woman who had taken him from his beloved.
• 24:02
  Daniel replied that he was very grateful with life for putting on his way
• 24:06
  a woman he had found in the park, who assured him that if he
• 24:10
  performed a certain ritual under the moon they would have the son they so loved.
• 24:15
  David shuddered. The woman looked at him nodded as she pointed to Daniel
• 24:19
  the curse had returned to her life and death once again stalked David' s
• 24:26
  life. My name is Sara. I' m from Mexico City and I
• 24:34
  was twenty- eight when I decided to take a vacation in a cabin,
• 24:41
  in a place called Puerto del Aire. The daily routine in the city was
• 24:45
  weighing me down and I needed an escape, a place where I could disconnect
• 24:49
  from the stress and agitation constantly surrounding me. Life in Mexico City was very
• 24:55
  fast between going and coming on the subway. The hours I made from my
• 25:00
  house to my work I couldn' t anymore. In addition, I had
• 25:04
  had several problems at home and was falling into depression, so it was the
• 25:10
  perfect time to take a well- deserved vacation. My friend had told me
• 25:15
  about those cabins because a year before she had gone with her boyfriend and the
• 25:18
  truth sounded quite interesting. He told me that there was an area where animals
• 25:25
  were protected as deer and the truth caught my attention longing to be somewhere other
• 25:30
  than Mexico City. The cabin I rented was located in the small port of
• 25:37
  Aire, just outside a small village. What attracted me most was its proximity
• 25:41
  to a beautiful lagoon that extended majestically in front of the cabin. The waters
• 25:48
  of the lagoon looked like a dark mirror surrounded by leafy trees that reflected on
• 25:52
  its calm surface. I left on a Sunday. I thought I' d
• 25:59
  spend the whole week getting back the next one to get back to work and
• 26:03
  my daily life. I took a bus that took me to Orizaba and then
• 26:07
  one that took me to the entrance to Puerto del Aire. I had to
• 26:11
  walk long enough to get to my cabin. The weather was very cold.
• 26:15
  There was even fog reaching the ground. He was shaking, even though he
• 26:19
  was wearing a very thick jacket. The journey was very heavy for me because
• 26:26
  of the cold and the weight of the suitcases. I walked about forty-
• 26:30
  five minutes and arrived at about ten in the morning. I was already very
• 26:36
  tired and I really needed to rest and drink something hot because I was freezing.
• 26:41
  As far as I know, the place is a dangerous thing. Normally
• 26:45
  locals don' t accept anyone there because they don' t trust, but
• 26:52
  those cabins that gave something away from them. Finally, I came to the
• 26:56
  cabin and although I couldn' t see much of the fog, I loved
• 26:59
  it. The place. I could be alone, because there was no Internet
• 27:03
  or entertainment so to speak, but I couldn' t be happier with that
• 27:08
  at work. I was stuck to the computer to cell noise fights and everything
• 27:15
  so being in a place like that caused me a lot of calm, although
• 27:18
  I had no idea that my stay there was going to have the opposite effect,
• 27:22
  and I was going to long to be in my scandalous city again.
• 27:26
  From the moment I arrived at the place I found it disturbing, although it
• 27:30
  was very nice. There was something in the air and in the lagoon that
• 27:34
  didn' t convince me at all. The lagoon seemed plunged into a strange
• 27:40
  gloom. My friend had told me that when she was there, the locals
• 27:44
  had told her boyfriend that in the lagoon there were strange events that occurred in
• 27:48
  the evenings stories of lights on the surface of the water and whispers emerging from
• 27:52
  the thickness of the place or the fog, even shadows coming out of the
• 27:57
  water. But I was also reassured to know that something similar never happened to
• 28:03
  them. She told me they had an amazing time, very relaxed and carefree.
• 28:08
  The cold was good for the skin and silence for the mind. The
• 28:14
  day was quiet. That' s where I pulled a chair out of the
• 28:18
  cabin and stood in front of the lagoon. You couldn' t swim in
• 28:21
  that place. It was very dangerous, so you had to resign yourself to
• 28:25
  contemplate the beauty of the place. But there was a little lake nearby where
• 28:30
  you could swim. But, well, at the time it was the least
• 28:33
  I wanted because the cold was very strong. I had a hot coffee and
• 28:38
  dived into my thoughts. I tried to meditate and felt very calm, as
• 28:44
  I was happy to be away from the city. The night went by without
• 28:48
  a problem. I slept like I never felt very happy. In the morning
• 28:53
  I went for a run and it cost me a lot, because fog does
• 28:56
  not allow me to see well. Later, at about twelve o' clock
• 29:00
  in the day, the sun came up and comforted the day with its heat
• 29:04
  and the fog slowly dissipated and the day was completely beautiful. I felt like
• 29:10
  I was never there and inside I was grateful to my friend for her recommendation.
• 29:15
  On the way I met a lady who was already old. I greeted
• 29:19
  her and asked my name. Then she asked me where I came from and
• 29:25
  I answered her and she told me to be very careful with the lagoon,
• 29:30
  because the drowning had already wanted to take many people drowning in the lagoon.
• 29:34
  That stayed in my mind. I tried to process what I was saying,
• 29:38
  but I thought because of his age I didn' t know what he was
• 29:41
  saying and I went to the cabin. I was upset because that lady had
• 29:45
  made me think and the truth if I had created some fear, but I
• 29:51
  wanted to think that the lady didn' t know what I was saying and
• 29:55
  nothing or anyone would ruin my vacation, as I was in the cabin and
• 30:00
  lay down a later I ate something and went out to the lagoon. When
• 30:03
  night came in the cabin, the silence was overwhelming and I was alone in
• 30:08
  the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees and with the lagoon facing something I
• 30:14
  had not even thought about the night before. But even if I did not
• 30:18
  want to, the words of the lady had made me think much and much
• 30:22
  more, because it was already night, the air was cold and the fog
• 30:27
  persisted creating a sense of isolation that I had never experienced before, even though
• 30:33
  I sought tranquility, I felt uneasy at that time, while dining in the
• 30:40
  small kitchen of the cabin, I heard strange sounds, coming from outside.
• 30:45
  They were incomprehensible whispers, sliding through the trees. I tried to ignore them
• 30:52
  and convince myself that they were just the wind and fog, playing with my
• 30:56
  senses, but I couldn' t help but feel scared, so after dinner,
• 31:00
  I decided to lie down early, because the cabin was cozy, but
• 31:04
  every sound outside of it made me jump and as the night went on,
• 31:08
  the whispers became more audible. They were voices, whisperers and mysterious ones that
• 31:15
  seemed to be everywhere. At the same time I covered my head with blankets
• 31:18
  and closed my eyes tightly, wishing that everything was the product of my imagination,
• 31:23
  although to tell the truth, the dawn brought with it a new level
• 31:27
  of terror. Lights began to blink on the surface of the lagoon and could
• 31:33
  be seen in the darkness of the cabin. They were pale flashes and I
• 31:37
  could even say beautiful, they moved strangely. My heart was pounding as I
• 31:44
  watched these lights dance on the water. I felt something dark and unknown hiding
• 31:48
  beneath the surface. Suddenly, the lights went out and the whisper intensified and
• 31:55
  it seemed to me that the shadows were moving among the trees near the cabin.
• 32:00
  I was paralyzed by fear, unable to move or scream, and the
• 32:04
  whisper turned into unintelligible murmurs that seemed to be directed at me. Desperate to
• 32:10
  escape this nightmare, I grabbed my mobile phone and tried to call my friend,
• 32:15
  but there was no signal I was completely isolated and vulnerable. The night
• 32:22
  became eternal and the whispers and shadows continued to lie on my bed. Suddenly
• 32:27
  I thought maybe it was sleep paralysis alone, but I could move, so
• 32:31
  I discarded that theory. I was becoming more and more certain that something sinister
• 32:37
  lived in the lagoon, something that perhaps if it was the woman the lady
• 32:40
  had told me about at noon, but there were many murmurs of many people,
• 32:46
  so I didn' t understand what was going on. I wondered if
• 32:51
  my friend and her boyfriend had hidden something, if they had lived a similar
• 32:55
  experience and never mentioned it, but that made no sense at dawn. He
• 33:01
  finally came by dissipating the fog and shadows with relief. I saw the lights
• 33:07
  disappear in the lagoon. I left the cabin and thought seriously that all I
• 33:10
  had ever lived was his management. It couldn' t be real. Besides,
• 33:15
  it was a big coincidence that the first night had a good time and
• 33:20
  that one didn' t. Just after listening to what that lady had said,
• 33:25
  no one would ruin my vacation, I decided to prepare something very rich,
• 33:30
  to eat, to relax, to run for a while and to meditate,
• 33:35
  because all that would help me to feel better. And, at the
• 33:37
  end of the day, the cabin was paid for a week and I wasn
• 33:40
  ' t going to throw my time and money away. The day again was
• 33:45
  very nice and the water of the lagoon looked beautiful, very clear and bright.
• 33:50
  Everything was perfect and I told myself to be calm and forget the night
• 33:53
  before. I slept amazingly that night and the next night, so well,
• 34:00
  I was already forgetting the murmurs I had heard on the second night and what
• 34:05
  that woman had told me. But I remembered it perfectly on the fifth night,
• 34:10
  because something happened to me that I will never forget that fifth night.
• 34:15
  While in the cabin, the atmosphere changed dramatically. Again I began to feel
• 34:21
  very cold and very afraid. The mist was all the way down. I
• 34:24
  could see it through the windows. I made hot tea and tried to relax,
• 34:30
  but nothing worked. I saw a shadow in my eyes outside that began
• 34:36
  to move near the lagoon and again I heard the murmurs that became louder as
• 34:39
  if a crowd of people were approaching the cabin. I felt trapped in the
• 34:45
  cabin and couldn' t even run out. And it was then that I
• 34:51
  began to tremble with cold and fear. I desperately searched my phone to try
• 34:55
  to call someone, but the signal was still non- existent. The cabin
• 35:00
  looked like a trap and I didn' t know how to escape. From
• 35:04
  there. The lights in the lagoon returned, but this time they were more
• 35:09
  intense and seemed to move towards the cabin. I looked out the window and
• 35:14
  I could see gloomy figures under the surface of the water, moving threateningly my
• 35:20
  skin became chinita and I began to sweat cold, because I didn' t
• 35:23
  know what to do. There was nowhere to run or to call. I
• 35:28
  was completely alone and no one would save me. The lagoon became a dark,
• 35:31
  cloudy mirror of terror without knowing what else to do. I kept looking
• 35:37
  out the window shaking with fear. It was better to be warned of any
• 35:43
  movement that came from outside. That way I' d know how to act.
• 35:46
  The whispers became voices that said my name in a clear way as if
• 35:51
  they were calling me from the other side of an abyss, on the other
• 35:54
  side of the lagoon. Then something happened that I won' t forget in
• 36:00
  a hundred years. I kept looking out the window. When I saw something
• 36:02
  in the middle of the darkness, a figure was coming out of the lagoon.
• 36:07
  She was an empty- eyed woman, a terrifying smile that seemed cut
• 36:13
  by the way. She had long wet hair and a soaked black dress.
• 36:19
  His face was pale and his eyes had no life. He stared at me
• 36:22
  with an empty expression, but even though his mouth remained closed, the cuts
• 36:27
  were seen and he looked like he was smiling and began to move towards the
• 36:31
  door of the cabin. The panic took over my body and I quickly receded
• 36:37
  to the corner of the cabin. I wanted to believe that being inside that
• 36:44
  woman couldn' t do anything to me, but suddenly the cabin door opened
• 36:47
  wide and that horrible specter came in. I felt like I was watching my
• 36:53
  own horror movie, but I knew I wouldn' t have a good ending.
• 36:58
  The woman was getting closer and closer and her extended hands were moving in
• 37:01
  my direction and I could feel her cold breath in my skin. Just when
• 37:07
  I thought my end was near. A loud noise echoed in the cabin and
• 37:12
  I saw the woman stop and retreat to the lagoon, disappearing beneath the surface.
• 37:19
  I looked at the entrance to the cabin and saw Mrs Old lady who
• 37:22
  had warned me beforehand. She was holding some sort of amulet talisman and looked
• 37:29
  at me seriously. He told me to stay inside the cabin and not come
• 37:32
  out until the sun rises again. He told me that he had warned me
• 37:37
  and told me that a woman had been killed in that place and that her
• 37:40
  body had been thrown into the lagoon, or at least that was believed,
• 37:44
  because no one had wanted to go in and look for her. That is
• 37:49
  why he torments the people of that place because he seeks revenge for not having
• 37:53
  looked for his body and given it holy burial and is believed to come from
• 37:59
  hell with several demons and he makes it very powerful. She told me that
• 38:02
  she was a shaman from Port of Air and that something had told her that
• 38:07
  she was in serious danger. That' s why the talismans had driven the
• 38:12
  drowned woman away. He told me that if I hadn' t arrived in
• 38:15
  time, that woman would pull me into the lagoon and drown me like one
• 38:20
  day. She was drowned, as many tourists have disappeared there. That'
• 38:24
  s why they don' t like new people going, let alone stay in
• 38:29
  those cabins. I gave a big sigh and thanked the lady. I invited
• 38:35
  the lady to take you and maybe it wasn' t so much out of
• 38:38
  kindness, but because she would make that woman not show up again in the
• 38:43
  cabin. I told her that my friend had been there, but nothing had
• 38:46
  happened to her there. The old lady told me that my friend made a
• 38:52
  deal with the drowned woman. Many people did that, for if they lived
• 38:57
  with the locals they would tell them what to do. My friend had asked
• 39:00
  the drowned woman not to do anything to her or her boyfriend and, in
• 39:05
  return, would have someone else go to that cabin. If she didn'
• 39:08
  t, the woman would go find her wherever she went and drown her even
• 39:13
  in the bathroom she couldn' t believe it. Rabies consumed my reason and
• 39:16
  I began to curse the one I believed. My friend cried and the lady
• 39:22
  comforted me, but of course the lady had to leave. He gave me
• 39:25
  a talisman and told me that nothing would happen to me and that I should
• 39:30
  leave as soon as dawn. The lady said goodbye and I thanked him infinitely
• 39:35
  for saving my life. Then I saw her disappear into the mist. I
• 39:39
  spent the rest of the night awake with the talisman in my hands, eagerly
• 39:44
  waiting for the sun to illuminate the place again. The murmurs and whispers gradually
• 39:50
  drifted away, but fear persisted in my mind. When the first rays of
• 39:55
  the sun appeared from the horizon, I gathered my things and left the cabin.
• 40:01
  I walked back, carrying the weight of that terrifying experience on my back,
• 40:07
  I could not believe what I had lived in that seemingly quiet place.
• 40:12
  As I passed through the houses, I met some locals who looked at me
• 40:16
  with distrust as if they knew what had happened in the cabin. I decided
• 40:22
  not to tell them anything and took the first bus back to Orizaba and then
• 40:25
  to Mexico City, leaving behind that port of the air and its horrors.
• 40:31
  I arrived after more than eight hours at my home in Mexico City. I
• 40:36
  had lost the three- day money I had left in Puerto del Aire,
• 40:39
  but I preferred a thousand times that to stay in that cabin near the lagoon.
• 40:45
  That night I couldn' t sleep because of fear. I marked my
• 40:47
  so- called friend and claimed how horrible I had done. And then,
• 40:52
  contrary to what I expected, that it was that she would tell me something
• 40:55
  bad or go back to the insults, she kept quiet on the phone and,
• 41:00
  if she went, after a few seconds, she told me scared that
• 41:02
  then the woman would go after her, for her boyfriend and for me it
• 41:08
  didn' t matter that we were away, that that woman would drown all
• 41:13
  three of us and there would be no going back. I told her to
• 41:15
  shut up and stop talking nonsense, but she, with a trembling voice,
• 41:19
  told me that she was serious, that the locals there had told her that
• 41:22
  and that they had even told her not to worry, that there was no
• 41:27
  way for me to get out alive. That' s where I crashed when
• 41:30
  I heard that and started insulting her. Again I told her I couldn'
• 41:35
  t believe she did that to me. He told me he was sorry and
• 41:38
  hung up the phone. I took a dagger and put it next to my
• 41:44
  bed, although I didn' t even sleep the other day, I remembered
• 41:49
  that the old lady who had saved my life had given me her daughter'
• 41:52
  s phone number, so I called her and when she passed it to me,
• 41:55
  I told her what my supposed friend had told me. She said no.
• 41:59
  I didn' t worry that as long as I had the talisman and
• 42:02
  went out with someone who was dedicated to the cleans and stuff, to getting
• 42:07
  me cleaned up and getting that woman out of my way, everything would be
• 42:10
  fine. I thanked him and promised that I would do it as soon as
• 42:15
  I could. My mind was full of questions and fears, but at least
• 42:19
  I had a hope of protection. The days and nights passed and although the
• 42:24
  memory of that terrifying experience in Puerto del Aire was haunting me I tried to
• 42:30
  resume my life in Mexico City, went to work, went out with friends
• 42:34
  and tried to distract myself as best I could. However, the shadow of
• 42:37
  what I had lived was still stalking me in the darkest moments of the night.
• 42:44
  Finally the day came when I decided to seek help, and I did
• 42:47
  it because one night a noise woke me up was running water and when I
• 42:52
  went to see I realized that my bed was completely wet and the floor too.
• 42:57
  Someone had opened it to the bathroom key and had hours of watering.
• 43:00
  And the worst thing is that a cable that was broken was about to fall
• 43:05
  to the ground and that would mean my death, I heard a laugh coming
• 43:10
  from the bathroom and screamed with all my might. I left my house making
• 43:14
  sure there could be no accident and went to sleep with my parents, though
• 43:17
  I couldn' t either. The next day I contacted the daughter of a
• 43:22
  Shaman who was well known in Mexico City and agreed to meet in a safe
• 43:29
  place. She was an older woman with a deep connection to spiritual traditions.
• 43:36
  He explained to me that the lagoon of Puerto del Aire was a place full
• 43:39
  of dark energies and that the woman, drowned, caught in her torment,
• 43:45
  sought revenge against those who ventured on her vacation. Making fun of her tragedy,
• 43:50
  The Shaman performed a ritual of cleansing and protection. He used herb prayers
• 43:54
  and the talisman that the old lady had given me to drive away any evil
• 44:00
  entity that might have clinged to me. During the ritual I felt a mixture
• 44:04
  of relief and fear, but I trusted that this woman knew the secrets to
• 44:08
  face him supernatural. When the ritual ended the shaman told me that the drowned
• 44:14
  woman should not be a problem for me if I kept wearing the talisman and
• 44:19
  avoided returning to Port of Air. He advised me to keep a calm and
• 44:23
  positive mind, as negative energies attracted dark that helped me a lot. I
• 44:30
  was able to move back into my house and I didn' t happen something
• 44:34
  like that again. I felt calm and safe, even though the girl who
• 44:37
  told me to go to Puerto del Aire was no longer my friend. I
• 44:42
  told her what the lady who gave me the talisman had told me and I
• 44:45
  recommended that she and her boyfriend go clean up in time. The fear subsided,
• 44:52
  but it never completely disappeared. I always took the talisman with me as
• 44:58
  a reminder of that experience and learned to value the movement of my life in
• 45:02
  a way that I had never done before, thanking the routine and security that
• 45:08
  provided me with my relationship with my former friend. She was never the same
• 45:12
  again after what happened, although she repeatedly apologized, confidence had been irreparably broken.
• 45:21
  Years passed and although nightmares about the drowned woman and nights in the cabin
• 45:25
  were less frequent, I could never completely erase that experience from my mind.
• 45:31
  Sometimes, when I joined in the reflection, I wondered if the drowned woman
• 45:37
  was still stalking the people who were going to the cabin of the lagoon in
• 45:40
  search of their revenge. And so, with that uncertainty in my heart,
• 45:45
  I continued my life in Mexico City, always aware that somewhere under the mist
• 45:50
  of Puerto del Aire, there was a dark secret hiding in the lagoon waiting
• 45:53
  for those who ventured too close to it. Dreams are an enigmatic phenomenon that
• 46:08
  manifests as the body enters a state of rest and recovery. In this,
• 46:14
  different cognitive and emotional sensations and processes are experienced. Most of the time all
• 46:20
  the events that we experience during this state occur independently of our will. We
• 46:28
  can' t manipulate them. If sometimes these are fun or romantic. However,
• 46:32
  they can also acquire more disturbing dyes, where they feel different emotions such
• 46:38
  as fear, horror, paranoia, anguish, which are able to generate pictures
• 46:43
  of stress, anxiety, or trauma that leave people marked. Today, many
• 46:50
  issues related to dreams continue to be studied through a veil that does not allow
• 46:54
  us to understand them 100%, and is that these experiences take place in
• 47:00
  one of the most vulnerable moments. While we sleep and find ourselves completely helpless
• 47:06
  from the dangers that surround us. Many cultures in different parts of the world
• 47:12
  have understood them in different ways, some more benevolent, where they consider dreams
• 47:16
  to be the manifestations of the greatest longings. Others attribute premonitory abilities to them
• 47:22
  to get ahead of the facts and be prepared to face what comes. But
• 47:29
  there are also other visions that present them as manifestations of a world or malevolent
• 47:35
  reality that filters into ours through our dreams. No matter what, Renata'
• 47:39
  s story is full of elements difficult to explain. Renata is a young migrant
• 47:45
  who lives in Quebec, but is originally from Fresnillo Zacatecas, a city located
• 47:52
  in central Mexico, considered one of the most unsafe cities to live for Mexicans
• 47:58
  themselves. Renata lived in the company of her mother, Isabel and her father
• 48:05
  Humberto in the house that Humberto' s mother had inherited from them. It
• 48:08
  was a fairly old house, built with adobe and quite degraded over the years
• 48:14
  and the lack of maintenance that its owners had not attended to because of the
• 48:19
  large debts they had contracted when Humberto' s father became ill, which had
• 48:24
  not been able to be covered, because soon his mother also worsened, so
• 48:29
  they kept her hospitalized for a few months in a private clinic, which led
• 48:34
  them to practically the broken bench. Renata' s family had exhausted virtually all
• 48:39
  its remedies. They had sold and pawned family jewelry, some household appliances and
• 48:45
  even cut the land where the house was to sell it. And covering part
• 48:51
  of the debts, but still it wasn' t enough. Credit interests increased
• 48:57
  month by month because of pars lateness. Some times they ran out of electricity,
• 49:02
  as they could not cover bimonthly receipts for the service. Doña Isabel ration
• 49:08
  the few foods that they could access, mainly rice and beans, even skipping
• 49:14
  some meals a day, as long as Renata could eat something during the day,
• 49:19
  satisfied her hunger with water, while Humberto was employed in different trades,
• 49:22
  from masonry, carpentry, watchman and when he was not in a job,
• 49:30
  he used to go out to the streets in search of steel or plastic cardboard
• 49:35
  to sell it to recycling centers and thus obtain some pesos to spend the day
• 49:40
  renata. I was in high school at the time. She was not a
• 49:45
  bad student, but she used to be reprimanded for not covering school fees or
• 49:49
  for not wearing the material or uniforms they were asking for. And it is
• 49:52
  that, although he studied in a public high school, the expenses for his
• 49:55
  education were significant for the decadent with the family. Renata companions used to make
• 50:02
  fun of their patched uniforms and shoes in bad shape, not to mention that
• 50:08
  they rarely brought food or money for lunch. Their appearance was also not very
• 50:15
  good, as they could not access personal hygiene products. Because of some disagreements
• 50:21
  with the payments and with problems with her fellow renata she decided to leave her
• 50:28
  secondary renata intended to go to high school, dressed and left her house every
• 50:32
  morning, but she did not enter and went to a market where she changed
• 50:37
  her uniform and worked in a small fonda where a lady had hired her as
• 50:42
  her assistant general and paid her two hundred and fifty pesos a week for working
• 50:49
  ten- hour days abusing the naivety and need of renata at night, she
• 50:53
  used to dream of a life like that of her companions, where she had
• 50:59
  a space for herself, since she slept in the same room as her parents.
• 51:02
  He dreamed, wearing new and cute clothes, eating some treats like the
• 51:07
  ones his classmates bought every day at school and, in general, with a
• 51:10
  better life, where their needs were covered only in their dreams. She had
• 51:20
  peace of mind and it was the only thing that comforted her. His father,
• 51:23
  tired of so much misery, followed the advice of one of his companions
• 51:28
  he had met while cleaning a cistern. This person convinced him to get a
• 51:32
  loan with dangerous people so he could go to America and, in this way,
• 51:37
  work to pay off debts and offer them a better life. To his
• 51:40
  wife and daughter, Humberto thought seriously, as the people who offered him the
• 51:46
  money had unorthodox ways to collect. Interests were high and the risk of getting
• 51:52
  well off was quite high, as they would be charged yes or yes in
• 51:58
  some way, the s s Circumstances did not have many options either. No
• 52:04
  bank or acquaintance was willing to lend him money, knowing the situation in which
• 52:08
  he was in. So, after a couple of days of meditation, he
• 52:12
  asked his companion to take him with them. His plan was simple, get
• 52:19
  the money, contact a coyote, cross the border and look for a job
• 52:22
  to settle his debt as soon as possible. With those people. Humberto told
• 52:29
  her flat to Isabel, who initially found it crazy, as she would put
• 52:34
  her and her daughter in danger, is that crossing the border in recent years
• 52:37
  had become more difficult and dangerous, so if her plan failed, she would
• 52:42
  leave both defenseless. Isabel stayed on that idea for a few weeks until school
• 52:49
  staff searched for her to ask about Renata, as she had not shown up
• 52:53
  for a few weeks. That same afternoon, when Renata returned from her working
• 52:59
  day, it was with mons soon given by her mother, who attacked her
• 53:04
  after learning that she had not been attending school for a long time and that
• 53:07
  she had lied to her. Renata, for her part, tried to explain
• 53:10
  to her what happened and between tears and sobs, Isabel understood that she was
• 53:16
  not being fair to her and that, although she was employed as a domestic
• 53:20
  worker and she was wearing clothes, the money was insufficient to buy something as
• 53:25
  basic as female towels or clothes in good condition. At night. When Humberto
• 53:31
  returned home, Isabel told him what happened to Renata, so she supported her
• 53:36
  husband' s plan, since monthly bills to pay became hell and so they
• 53:39
  did. The next day. Humberto went with his partner with a couple of
• 53:45
  men, asked for the loan and in the afternoon he was summoned again to
• 53:51
  give him the money and warn him not to think about running away because they
• 53:54
  would find him and his family. Humberto did not tell them that he planned
• 53:59
  to leave, otherwise they would not have given him the money. So,
• 54:02
  excited and frightened, he came home. He contacted some relatives who knew the
• 54:07
  famous coyotes and agreed to leave in a couple of weeks. He left some
• 54:15
  money for Isabel so they could hold onto what was crossing the border and set
• 54:19
  up a renata. He said goodbye to his father, although he did not
• 54:24
  know what would be the last time he would see him again. The days
• 54:28
  passed, the weeks and nothing was known about Humberto. Isabel as the days
• 54:34
  passed, began to notice that some vans roamed the area were the collectors whom
• 54:38
  Humberto had deceived. The concern and stress he was subjected to. Isabel began
• 54:45
  to give him more and more fear. Every time he left his home to
• 54:50
  work. She took care that no one was following her renata toward the same
• 54:55
  thing and could not wait to hear from her father. The situation became more
• 55:00
  complicated when they told Isabel that Humberto' s partner had disappeared. Apparently he
• 55:06
  had been picked up in a van as he returned from work to his home
• 55:10
  and there was no news of him, so most likely the death of that
• 55:15
  man began to torment Elizabeth, who, distressed and desperate to have some news
• 55:20
  of Humberto, made the decision to go after him. It was crazy,
• 55:27
  of course, and leaving her home and her daughter was a bad idea,
• 55:30
  as she would leave her defenseless before the men who would sooner or later find
• 55:35
  them. After serious thought, she spoke to Renata, who did not agree
• 55:40
  to remain alone, had already lost her father and would not lose her mother,
• 55:45
  so she decided that wherever her mother was, she would go with her.
• 55:50
  With the little money they had, they decided to follow the same steps
• 55:53
  as Humberto. The road would be complicated and full of dangers as there were
• 55:58
  two women and one of them, as a young woman, the risks increased.
• 56:02
  The stories of abuse and disappearance of migrant women were a constant in the
• 56:07
  news, but they also had not many options and had already exhausted until their
• 56:14
  last resort. And now they not only had gigantic debts, but there were
• 56:17
  also some men who pursued them. Renata used to have dreams where some figures
• 56:23
  pursued her tirelessly until they reached her, beat her and abused her. Other
• 56:29
  nightmares revolved around the capture and torture of her and her mother. Every day
• 56:35
  that passed, nightmares became more disturbing. His journey was getting more and more
• 56:39
  difficult. However, they were fortunate enough to meet a group of women who
• 56:45
  cared for themselves, as they were more than aware of the cruel fate they
• 56:49
  ran as they ventured across the country. In search of the American dream they
• 56:54
  shared supplies. Among them, some kept guard while the rest slept and got
• 56:59
  food and drink from some people who used to donate food to migrants. That
• 57:06
  group of women told them that if they wanted to go in search of the
• 57:10
  American dream, it would be better for them to cross to Canada. Although
• 57:14
  the climate was colder, jobs, wages and quality of life were substantially better
• 57:16
  than those offered by the country of freedoms because of the various policies that some
• 57:22
  Republican governments had taken to discourage the migrant labour of their States. Both Isabel
• 57:35
  and Renata had no idea of the situation at the border, much less in
• 57:38
  the United States, so they didn' t have a big plan either.
• 57:43
  They were practically on the run without a fixed course. Some women in that
• 57:49
  group invited them to join them and together to cross the United States to Canada
• 57:53
  and as they had formed a nice bond of friendship, companionship and respect,
• 58:00
  they accepted that invitation. After walking hundreds of miles, spending whole days without
• 58:06
  any food and sleeping on the moving wagons or anywhere where they could be moderately
• 58:10
  safe, they reached the U S border and there they contacted some people,
• 58:16
  who explained and guided them to cross the wall. After a successful raid,
• 58:23
  they arrived in Texas, where relatives and acquaintances of some women they were traveling
• 58:29
  with received them and helped to get a job, saving enough money to emigrate
• 58:32
  to Canada. Their stay in Texas was difficult, as neither Isabel nor Renata
• 58:39
  spoke English and had to live in hiding, because if they were captured,
• 58:45
  they would be arrested and deported to Mexico, which would be a problem now
• 58:50
  that they finally had to feed themselves three times a day and sleep in a
• 58:54
  clean room and bed. Despite the limitations with which Rennas and her mother lived,
• 59:00
  they were quite happy because they had never been able to enjoy those comforts
• 59:05
  as minimal as they were, while the rest of their friends told them that
• 59:09
  if the United States liked them, Canada, they would love them. The
• 59:15
  nightmares of renata did not occur, even though they had now escaped the threat
• 59:20
  posed by the men to whom their father owed them money, he used to
• 59:23
  wake up in the middle of the night screaming, crying and sweating because of
• 59:30
  the dreams he had. They tried to find some solutions in this regard,
• 59:36
  but unfortunately they could not go to a doctor, as they could identify them
• 59:40
  as undocumented people. Without notifying the migration police. Elizabeth spent the nights in
• 59:45
  her wake taking care of a renata, who made false improvements, as nightmares
• 59:52
  continued to haunt the young woman in her dreams. After a while working and
• 59:55
  saving up to the last dollar they set in motion super plan to travel to
• 1:00:00
  Quebec, as they had heard that it was an excellent destination to start from
• 1:00:06
  scratch again there, Renata could resume her studies. Isabel would get a job
• 1:00:10
  well paid and, in general, live peacefully. Renata in the company of
• 1:00:15
  her mother and two other women who had already been to Quebec on the part
• 1:00:21
  of a cooperation programme between the Government of Canada and Mexico, would be her
• 1:00:25
  guides and support to settle down as soon as they arrived, although the journey
• 1:00:30
  would now remain long, as they would have to cross the whole country.
• 1:00:35
  This time they would not do it on foot or infraganti on the roof of
• 1:00:38
  the wagons of a railway, as they could use the different transports that they
• 1:00:44
  had at their disposal. It took them a few days to get to North
• 1:00:49
  Dakota, where they would meet some acquaintances of their friends at Asporelake' s
• 1:00:53
  Indian reserve, as they would take care of helping them cross the border to
• 1:00:59
  the United States Canada. However, they had to wait a few days for
• 1:01:02
  the people to return, as they were in winniped visit with some relatives.
• 1:01:09
  The women' s group was received by Mr Jacola' s family, who
• 1:01:15
  would help them cross. Jacola' s wife was very hospitable with everyone,
• 1:01:20
  especially Renata, who had been deprived of sleep for much of the trip because
• 1:01:23
  of the nightmares, who had drawn their attention from the moment she met Renata,
• 1:01:29
  her mother and the rest of the women were at the Jacola' s
• 1:01:35
  house for a couple of days until Mr Ontaro returned to the reservation, but
• 1:01:38
  asked them for patience, as he would have to make some arrangements with some
• 1:01:44
  people he knew in Quebeck, which could take a few days and even weeks.
• 1:01:51
  The women accepted and the Jacola family offered them their hospitality again. Being
• 1:01:57
  so close to their destination, they had nothing to lose. Ontaro' s
• 1:02:01
  family was very nice and showed them the Indian reservation. They took them all
• 1:02:06
  on a visit to the weak Slake, where they told them about the spirits
• 1:02:12
  found in nature, to whom they attribute some of the human sufferings. Ontaro
• 1:02:17
  and his wife told Renata and her mother Elizabeth about the power of dreams,
• 1:02:22
  as these are a manifestation of both benign and malignant energy, which interferes with
• 1:02:27
  the decisions and lives of all people. They were told the legend of Oullibwi
• 1:02:35
  of Asibia. Thus a spider woman who, according to the belief of the
• 1:02:38
  Oullibua, was responsible for setting the sun every morning. But according to him,
• 1:02:44
  the men and women reproduced him thanks to the energy of the sun,
• 1:02:47
  which helped with the harvests that collected his labor. It became complicated, as
• 1:02:52
  many tribes began to disperse all over the world, so that, with the
• 1:02:57
  help of the wise tribal grandmothers, the mothers ons sisters weaved in a few
• 1:03:01
  rings a sort of web, which, when exposed to the rays of the
• 1:03:05
  sun, stored its energy, which drove away nightmares at night, negative dreams
• 1:03:10
  were trapped between the tissues and these were exorcised when the hoop was set before
• 1:03:15
  the sun. All the listeners listened to that story with great attention, especially
• 1:03:23
  Renata, who had long suffered from nightmares that invaded her mind during the nights
• 1:03:29
  with horrifying scenes and figures. Mrs Jacola had a rag hanging on her bed,
• 1:03:37
  which her ancestors had woven and had been used for generations. He offered
• 1:03:43
  it to Renata, but she rejected it because she knew it was a family
• 1:03:46
  heirloom. Isabel asked Ontaro' s wife to explain how to weave one for
• 1:03:52
  her daughter. That way it could help rid Renata of the evil forces that
• 1:03:58
  were stalking her. They took advantage of the time that it took Ontaro to
• 1:04:04
  make the preparations for weaving said rags with willow wood, feathers of ethnic birds
• 1:04:10
  and threads that Mrs Jacola had at home. They placed the dream catcher on
• 1:04:15
  the bed where Renata slept and for the first time in a long time he
• 1:04:20
  could sleep comfortably, but he could not enjoy much of the traps, since
• 1:04:26
  the next morning they would cross to Canada and would be on his way to
• 1:04:30
  Quebec, a city that was still quite far from where they were. After
• 1:04:33
  a few days and many nightmares arrived in Quebec, they settled in an apartment
• 1:04:39
  that Mr Ontaro had gotten and presented themselves to the places where the dream catcher
• 1:04:45
  would work was the first thing that Renata placed in his room and the nightmares
• 1:04:50
  disappeared. Little by little. He was able to enter the school, where
• 1:04:54
  he was taught French and English so that he could integrate with the rest of
• 1:04:58
  the students. Mother got a job at a Mexican food restaurant, and the
• 1:05:02
  two women who accompanied them also got jobs like recamera and waitresses in different establishments.
• 1:05:11
  After this, both groups split up. Everyone rented an apartment near where
• 1:05:15
  they worked and frequented the days that coincided with their breaks. One day,
• 1:05:20
  when Renata returned from school, she noticed that the wood of the dream catcher
• 1:05:26
  had become darker. He thought it was because of the cold weather that he
• 1:05:30
  sees chief. It didn' t matter much. The next morning he noticed
• 1:05:34
  that the threads of the fabric had also darkened. She found it odd,
• 1:05:40
  but she wasn' t an expert on dream catchers either, and since the
• 1:05:45
  nightmares were gone, she didn' t care. As the nights passed,
• 1:05:47
  dreams tended to become darker and more disturbing, but he preferred not to comment
• 1:05:53
  to his mother so as not to worry her. After a while, the
• 1:05:58
  nightmares returned each night after night was worse than the previous one. She even
• 1:06:02
  felt a man suffocating her in that dream and waking up with strange marks and
• 1:06:08
  bruises on her body. He thought he would have hurt himself while playing some
• 1:06:14
  sport, but the situation got worse and there was no night where he didn
• 1:06:19
  ' t have a dream experience hard to explain. The blows and wounds in
• 1:06:23
  different parts of her body continued to appear, so again she thought of depriving
• 1:06:28
  herself of sleep and so she stayed for a few days, until tiredness dragged
• 1:06:32
  her into the world of dreams, where strange things happened to her. His
• 1:06:39
  mother, at that time, was dating a man she had met at work.
• 1:06:45
  She felt quite happy and happy about what she reborn, did not want
• 1:06:48
  to worry her and got medicine to suppress her sleep. So she spent weeks
• 1:06:54
  awake and nightmares began to affect her even when she was awake. The breaking
• 1:07:00
  point was when a psychosis attack attacked her while her mother was at home and
• 1:07:04
  Renata started hitting her head against the wall. Isabel took her to the doctor,
• 1:07:11
  where she was valued and told that she had not slept for weeks,
• 1:07:15
  which was affecting her mental health. She was injected to sleep and sent home.
• 1:07:19
  However, Elizabeth noticed how she was attacking Renata, who seemed to have
• 1:07:24
  difficulty breathing. Renata' s mother searched for the dream catcher, but when
• 1:07:31
  she grabbed him, he became Ash, knit another and placed him on Renata
• 1:07:36
  ' s bed. However, he did not see better in his daughter.
• 1:07:41
  Desperately, she sought medical help again and they referred her to a psychiatric center
• 1:07:46
  where the specialists valued her and her diagnosis was that she suffered from schizophrenia,
• 1:07:51
  so they would have to keep the medication and sedation to control her behavior.
• 1:07:58
  Since then, she has been reborn to be imprisoned in that psychiatric institution,
• 1:08:01
  she does not speak, only keeps an empty gaze as tears and saliva flow
• 1:08:06
  on her skeletal face. The story I will tell next happened in Tlalnepantla,
• 1:08:17
  in a colony called The Dam. It was very scandalous at the time,
• 1:08:23
  because it impacted my dad' s community for a long time, due to
• 1:08:27
  their strange circumstances and the fear he spread in them. In the colony I
• 1:08:32
  mentioned earlier, Sandra and Eric lived that they were a young couple of boyfriends
• 1:08:38
  both characterized by their good deeds in the community in general, they liked to
• 1:08:43
  help and live with others. One day, like anyone else, in their
• 1:08:47
  lives, they decided to go out for a walk on a seemingly ordinary night.
• 1:08:53
  However, they never imagined that that day would happen something so tragic and
• 1:08:58
  inhuman that it would change their lives forever. As was customary for them.
• 1:09:03
  They left that night to tour some of the places they used to travel because
• 1:09:09
  of their beautiful landscapes. They were so excited and happy sharing their time together
• 1:09:14
  that they lost track of time and realizing that it was a little late and
• 1:09:16
  that it was getting dark quickly, they set out to come back. But
• 1:09:23
  as they returned to Sandra' s house they could notice that in the air
• 1:09:28
  there was a very strange aroma that could be compared to some sort of solvent.
• 1:09:31
  Just in case this is too small. They were also frightened to hear
• 1:09:35
  voices whispering behind them, but the words were totally incomprehensible. They even seemed
• 1:09:44
  to be in another fearful language, but intrigued to know what it was all
• 1:09:47
  about. The boy looked back and realized that there was a group of young
• 1:09:51
  people walking behind them and that they were really sniffing at what seemed to make
• 1:09:57
  cement or some kind of strange concentrate they were carrying with them. Eric,
• 1:10:02
  concerned about the circumstances, hugged his girlfriend to make her walk faster, but
• 1:10:08
  that action only made the youth group do exactly the same. They started chasing
• 1:10:14
  them in a hurry. The grooms tried to follow an alternate route in order
• 1:10:18
  to lose sight of them, because they did not know what their intentions were,
• 1:10:24
  but the way they acted did not seem to be a good thing.
• 1:10:28
  They continued to roam the streets in haste looking desperately for someone else who could
• 1:10:34
  help them or some patrol they could approach. But it was in vain,
• 1:10:40
  as they were moving further and further away from the crowded and enlightened areas.
• 1:10:45
  Fear kept them trying to evade them, but unfortunately, they were already in
• 1:10:49
  an area they had never traveled. In their intention to escape, they thought
• 1:10:55
  they would go into the most lonely streets. It was a good idea,
• 1:10:59
  because you think it was a good way to hide in trees or garbage cans.
• 1:11:04
  Apparently, his plan was working until by mistake they ended up going into
• 1:11:09
  a dead end. That alley was the last place the couple was seen alive,
• 1:11:15
  because, as they had sensed it at the beginning of the persecution,
• 1:11:18
  the intentions of the group that followed him were not at all good, besides
• 1:11:23
  that the boys seemed to be under the effect of some harmful substance and they
• 1:11:28
  were not wrong about it. Unfortunately, Sandra and Erick could do nothing to
• 1:11:33
  save each other' s lives by trying to escape that terrible situation. It
• 1:11:40
  was very complicated, as the group consisted of at least seven young people and
• 1:11:44
  it was difficult to face each of them in the conditions they were still in.
• 1:11:49
  With this, they both fought for their life, but it was impossible
• 1:11:53
  and remembering the beginning of that day that had been so nice, they would
• 1:11:58
  never have imagined that that would be their last walk together, as a few
• 1:12:02
  hours ago they were enjoying each other' s company in their favorite places.
• 1:12:06
  This news was a truly unfortunate impact the next day for the entire community,
• 1:12:13
  as their neighbors, friends and family described Sandra and Eric as a friendly,
• 1:12:17
  supportive couple who always liked to help others. Some remained unbelieving about the painful
• 1:12:26
  news, but it was confirmed by their parents, for they were summoned for
• 1:12:30
  the recognition of the two corpses and, indeed, they were their beloved children,
• 1:12:34
  so they had no choice but to communicate it to those who still held
• 1:12:39
  the suspense or hope that it would not be real. After this, both
• 1:12:45
  families decided to give them Christian burial, since it is very common for prayer
• 1:12:50
  circles to take place in their locality, as many close people told them that
• 1:12:56
  they should do so as far as possible so that the souls of their children
• 1:13:00
  would achieve eternal rest, because, having died in such a tragic and violent
• 1:13:04
  way, it was necessary for them to find light on their way and be
• 1:13:10
  able to rest in peace. After nearly a year of the painful loss,
• 1:13:15
  Erix' s family was at home fixing some situations that had unfinished business and
• 1:13:20
  still faced deep sadness over what happened. One day they were praying for their
• 1:13:28
  son’ s soul, for days ago they constantly heard strange noises all over
• 1:13:33
  the house. Besides, they could suddenly distinguish whistles like Eric used to.
• 1:13:40
  They were about to finish the prayer when they suddenly knocked mysteriously at the door.
• 1:13:45
  However, they would not imagine what they would be about to see.
• 1:13:48
  The young woman who opened the door was completely shocked, for she could not
• 1:13:54
  believe what her eyes were seeing. Its impact was totally justified by the fact
• 1:14:00
  that Eric had knocked on the door, the young man who had lost his
• 1:14:02
  life a year ago in terrible circumstances and who had clearly buried even before relatives
• 1:14:09
  and witnesses of all kinds. The moment was frightening, as it had no
• 1:14:15
  logical explanation. In fact, he was standing in front of the door,
• 1:14:20
  staring at the interior of the house, waiting to be received by his family,
• 1:14:26
  but it did not look like something human. He had a strange appearance
• 1:14:30
  and from his gaze emanated a mysterious and confused appearance. It was something incredible
• 1:14:35
  and without apparent explanation, because at the time of his death he had undergone
• 1:14:41
  the respective necropsy of law and autopsy to carry out relevant investigations of the case.
• 1:14:45
  And it is not a secret that all these interventions involve, so it
• 1:14:50
  was impossible for Erick to stand at the door of his house. After several
• 1:14:56
  minutes at Chock, the young woman realized that her eyes were watching. This
• 1:15:01
  terrified her and started screaming desperately, so the family went out to see what
• 1:15:06
  was happening and discovering the identity of the person standing there, the panic took
• 1:15:11
  hold of them, although it was more of a mixture of emotions that,
• 1:15:16
  on the one hand, caused shock to them to be able to observe their
• 1:15:20
  son once again, but deep down they knew that this was impossible, so
• 1:15:25
  Erick' s mother broke into tears and just went on to persign herself and
• 1:15:29
  pray in front of him asking God for his son' s eternal rest.
• 1:15:35
  A few minutes passed and Erick mysteriously disappeared. It was known that it was
• 1:15:41
  so shocking for the family, since after all the things they had witnessed following
• 1:15:45
  the death of their son, they chose to leave their home, leaving her
• 1:15:49
  in total abandonment. Things seemed normal within what could be said, because it
• 1:15:58
  was believed that it had only remained like an abandoned house, but over time,
• 1:16:02
  the neighbors realized something that was happening inside that decadent home and seemed terrifying
• 1:16:08
  to them, for they claimed that Erick left his house as he used to
• 1:16:13
  do when he lived, only now they saw him always dressed in black and
• 1:16:18
  covering his whole body in a mysterious way. Although the neighbors searched the nearby
• 1:16:25
  communities, no one knew anything about Erick' s family again, even though
• 1:16:30
  they looked for a way to contact them to communicate what they saw every day,
• 1:16:34
  as they considered it to be of the utmost importance and believed that the
• 1:16:39
  family should do something about it so that their son' s soul would cease
• 1:16:44
  to grieve in the dark. Neighbors commented that when Erick appeared, it became
• 1:16:48
  apparent that the young man' s family was very Catholic, that they observed
• 1:16:54
  every day could be a work of the devil and that they had left the
• 1:16:58
  house. Neighbors could no longer with the suspense, in addition to believing that
• 1:17:03
  they should seek a way to ward off the evil that haunted their community,
• 1:17:08
  for although the days passed under the same routine, they continued to be shocked
• 1:17:14
  by Erick' s strange and inexplicable reappearance. In several families in the area,
• 1:17:18
  it was said that it was important that people who died tragically and suddenly,
• 1:17:25
  as had been the case with the young couple, should be continuously mentioned
• 1:17:30
  in religious acts that prayed for their souls, in addition to lighting candlelights so
• 1:17:34
  that they could find the light on their way and eternal rest in peace,
• 1:17:40
  since it was believed that, by not doing so, souls would remain sorrowful
• 1:17:44
  forever in the darkness, regretting eternally that they were not fully aware that they
• 1:17:49
  were no longer on the existential plane. Faced with the desperation that the neighbors
• 1:17:56
  had decided to follow the indications mentioned s s a n o sons, but
• 1:18:00
  everything remained the same, so they tried with other options such as spraying holy
• 1:18:06
  water around Erick' s house, placing amulets that supposedly removed any kind of
• 1:18:12
  evil. They even asked for help from one of the most important priests in
• 1:18:16
  the area, who had enough experience in helping people who had been possessed or
• 1:18:23
  under the effect of some damage through black magic so that he could do everything
• 1:18:27
  he could to get that house back to normal and the boy' s soul
• 1:18:30
  to rest. But it was all in vain, as the next day the
• 1:18:35
  boy appeared again walking hastily away from his home, and the terror of the
• 1:18:42
  community was so much that no one dared to follow him and much less to
• 1:18:46
  approach to question him or, at least, to try to see him face
• 1:18:49
  to face. The months went by, but that was not all, since
• 1:18:55
  the above was not the only chilling thing that would happen in relation to the
• 1:18:59
  deceased couple, because after a time of Edick' s reappearance, the news
• 1:19:03
  in the area began to be alarming, because the group of young people who
• 1:19:10
  ended up with the couple' s life were about to face something terrifying,
• 1:19:14
  since one by one was appearing in the news, but in macabre finds and
• 1:19:19
  under strange circumstances, but the cycle was always repeated. They were found with
• 1:19:24
  severe injuries just as shocking as those ofÉrika. At the time of being
• 1:19:29
  found. The day of his death always happened at night. In some of
• 1:19:33
  the most abandoned areas of the Community, there were never witnesses, neither hearing
• 1:19:38
  nor sight, but the scariest thing is that some of them also appeared with
• 1:19:44
  the same bodily wounds as his girlfriend, Sandra, had received. Faced with
• 1:19:49
  this, the Community began to speculate that everything was Eric' s work,
• 1:19:54
  as since his return he had emerged from a fearsome aspect and believed that it
• 1:19:59
  was a revenge, since all the deaths were investigated under the guidelines of the
• 1:20:03
  law, but it seemed impossible to find clues, details or any sign of
• 1:20:10
  the person who might be responsible for ending the life of that group of young
• 1:20:15
  people, and that, since they were people who were continually involved in street
• 1:20:19
  conflicts, they also contributed to their loss of life with their lifestyle. And
• 1:20:24
  as in every event of this kind, there were those who empathized with the
• 1:20:30
  young and some others who rejoiced at it, for they still lived immersed in
• 1:20:34
  the sadness of losing their friends to their hands. Over time, the Community
• 1:20:39
  eventually resigned to see Erick live among themselves as if nothing had ever happened.
• 1:20:45
  But despite this, they have never stopped visiting his tomb and placing sweet flowers,
• 1:20:49
  photographs, among others, items they considered special to him and his girlfriend
• 1:20:55
  Sandra, his neighbor friends and families, and they always had doubts about the
• 1:21:00
  case and that was what had really caused that reappearance. Some are still terrified
• 1:21:06
  of approaching him, for after so much, mystery and no answer came to
• 1:21:11
  speculate about a possibility, for, although Erik' s family was always identified
• 1:21:15
  as totally religious and devoted did not apply the same for the young man,
• 1:21:23
  since he seemed rather totally alienated or disinterested from all of that, so they
• 1:21:28
  concluded that, most likely on his deathbed, he had made a pact with
• 1:21:31
  the devil as the last resort of clinging to life and thus being able to
• 1:21:36
  re- venge the death of both, but more of his beloved, whom
• 1:21:41
  he could never see again. But in the same way, it is well
• 1:21:46
  known that these kinds of covenants have a bitter price that must be fulfilled and
• 1:21:50
  in his case Erick did not take long to be noticed, for some of
• 1:21:56
  the people he loved most also died in macabre circumstances, without being able to
• 1:22:01
  solve any case or do justice for them. In addition to being always noticed
• 1:22:05
  with a deplete appearance, wandering around the surrounding areas in search of his family,
• 1:22:11
  but he could never find it, nor did he hear from them by
• 1:22:15
  any means. When my father told us this terrible history of the Community,
• 1:22:20
  I hesitated too much at all times, because, like everyone else, he
• 1:22:24
  believed it impossible and even fanciful, or that it was only a story told
• 1:22:29
  to cause terror in the population, like those urban legends that have not been
• 1:22:34
  proven. At least like this, I stayed for a while until one day
• 1:22:39
  a totally pale brother- in- law appeared trembling with fear. We tried
• 1:22:43
  to help him so he could tell us what had happened to him and I
• 1:22:48
  never imagined what he would answer. We managed to reassure him as we could
• 1:22:53
  and when he could finally speak he told us that, leaving his work at
• 1:22:57
  night, he diverted his way a little, as he needed to make some
• 1:23:00
  urgent purchases. When he could distinguish in the dark a strange silhouette that walked
• 1:23:05
  slowly and approached him, he believed that it was some normal person who was
• 1:23:11
  also circulating in the area, so he wanted to give a kind greeting until
• 1:23:15
  he met face to face with that face that, in fact, wasÉdith.
• 1:23:21
  My brother- in- law related that he was paralyzed by the fear
• 1:23:26
  of having found him at night, as he even feared for his life.
• 1:23:29
  He told us that because of the crash he could only stare at him for
• 1:23:32
  a few seconds until he could react, then he walked away from him.
• 1:23:35
  Promptly. He walked several blocks and still invaded by panic, decided to turn
• 1:23:42
  around to check that he had indeed lost it. And so Erik had disappeared,
• 1:23:46
  so he ran immediately to tell us, as he, like me,
• 1:23:50
  was an unbeliever of this story, at least until he could verify it with
• 1:23:55
  his own eyes. I admit that at the end of his story, I
• 1:24:01
  was totally left in Crock, although I was also very sad to think of
• 1:24:06
  the life that the boy had led by going through all those misfortunes, so
• 1:24:11
  at that moment I lost a little fear and decided to look for a way
• 1:24:15
  to match with Erick, but unlike the other people, I did not seek
• 1:24:20
  to make any kind of profit or morbid with the situation. Then I believed
• 1:24:25
  in the story my father had told us. I spent some time trying to
• 1:24:30
  find that encounter with Eric. He even went through the areas closest to his
• 1:24:34
  home and other places he used to go to constantly, but he did not
• 1:24:40
  accomplish my task. I was about to surrender to the refusal until the day
• 1:24:45
  came. Surprisingly, that occasion I left home without any expectation of finding it.
• 1:24:51
  I did my daily activities, like every day, with nothing special.
• 1:24:57
  At the end of my r routine in the afternoon, I decided to visit
• 1:25:01
  my friends who were on some courts near my house. I spent several hours
• 1:25:08
  chatting with others and participating in the games we used to play. From time
• 1:25:12
  to time I was totally immersed in the joyful atmosphere that I had forgotten the
• 1:25:16
  situation in a matter of minutes, I began to feel very exhausted, dizzy
• 1:25:24
  and sleepy, so I made the decision to go buy something, eat and
• 1:25:27
  drink. I walked a little over the street and then it happened if it
• 1:25:33
  was Erick. I could recognize him for his black dress. Always wear the
• 1:25:39
  hood to cover up a bit. The face was walking upside down. He
• 1:25:44
  looked pale, obnoxious and with a melancholy expression. I could also notice his
• 1:25:48
  extreme thinness. For a few seconds I wondered if I should keep walking in
• 1:25:55
  his direction like this. But to my surprise, far from feeling afraid,
• 1:25:58
  I saw him as someone who had suffered a lot and who just needed a
• 1:26:02
  little human empathy. I decided to go that way and as I met him
• 1:26:09
  head- on, I tried to say a few words to him, but
• 1:26:13
  my nerves were consumed, so I only wished him a good night. Eric
• 1:26:17
  gave me a strange look, perhaps because there are very few people who dare
• 1:26:21
  to intercept him on his way or try to have a dialogue with him.
• 1:26:27
  No matter how short it is. He paused for a moment by my side
• 1:26:30
  as if thinking that answering me I heard a slight murmur, but I failed
• 1:26:36
  to figure out exactly what he had answered me. He went on his way
• 1:26:40
  and I stood there watching him go away and disappear into the crowd. That
• 1:26:45
  night I checked that it was someone harmless, so when I got home,
• 1:26:50
  I set out to tell my father immediately to see his reaction. He was
• 1:26:56
  shocked by what had happened to me, but I also hate that maybe he
• 1:27:00
  was right and that, at the end of the day, it wasn'
• 1:27:03
  t as bad as some rumored in the community. Some time later, we
• 1:27:08
  learned that Erick began to devote himself to the world of tattoos, as he
• 1:27:13
  was well known to his acquaintances, that he was always very interested in it
• 1:27:16
  and, in addition, was an excellent sketch artist. Though that depressing aspect
• 1:27:20
  never disappeared from him. I guess it' s obvious, given the circumstances
• 1:27:25
  of your life. He continued to live alone in the house he previously shared
• 1:27:30
  with his family, of which nothing was ever known. To date, neither
• 1:27:34
  my father nor I have looked at him again and somehow I think that is
• 1:27:39
  better from time to time we dedicate some prayer in his name, wishing that
• 1:27:44
  he can have a quiet life again away from the whole mystery. The event
• 1:27:49
  was so important that months later a letter about it appeared in a yellowish magazine
• 1:27:55
  called alert, because it seems to be something that will never cease to be
• 1:28:00
  commented on in our Community. It is always judged to the words of fearful
• 1:28:04
  unbelievers or highly religious people who relate it directly to a work of the devil.
• 1:28:11
  I understand some of those criticisms, because I believe we will never have
• 1:28:15
  the absolute truth of what happened. I guess some of those theories will be
• 1:28:18
  the most successful, but I prefer to limit myself to thinking that it is
• 1:28:24
  just someone who has had a very complicated trajectory and who, unfortunately, found
• 1:28:29
  himself at the wrong place and time, like his beloved Bride Sandra, although
• 1:28:34
  it is inevitable to see him and not think about how that may be possible,
• 1:28:40
  how is it that someone can come back after death and continue as a
• 1:28:44
  kind of zombie among society. I wish one day we could find out what
• 1:28:48
  ' s behind all that. Many people have thought of questioning him directly about
• 1:28:55
  the mystery of his reappearance, but in wanting to do so, they are
• 1:28:59
  panicked by him and feel paralyzed and unable to do so, as if an
• 1:29:03
  extreme force prevented him and as if he were destined to remain a mystery.
• 1:29:10
  Although I don' t think that would be the best alternative, because I
• 1:29:14
  doubt that someone who has gone through So, and in those circumstances wants to
• 1:29:19
  tell it openly, I think that it could do something to some extent invasive,
• 1:29:25
  plus I think that some things if they are determined to remain in doubt,
• 1:29:32
  mystery and darkness anonymous accounts
