Tierra De Nahuales Historias De Terror - Voces De La Noche · Niebla en el bosque con Evelith von

0:06
Many years ago I worked at the Centro Preventivo y de Readaptación Social, which
0:10
is in Ecatepec, in the State of Mexico. It is also known as
0:14
Chiconautla prison was in the middle of October of those years when a peculiar-
0:20
looking inmate arrived and sees that there are always rare people in prisons, but
0:25
that guy was in another category of weirdness. I' d like to give
0:31
his name in case someone happens to know him, because no one ever went
0:35
to see him and the truth doesn' t surprise me, but someone must
0:38
know him. That' s for sure. Unfortunately, giving his name is
0:42
illegal. When I saw him in the distance, when he was barely being
0:47
brought in, he seemed like a normal man. He was brown. I
0:50
calculated him about thirty years. He seemed to have been caught with his hands
0:55
in the dough, because he arrived without a shirt and barefoot. All he
0:59
was wearing was a black denim pants. He was holding it because apparently,
1:03
it wasn' t his size. When I saw him pass by me,
1:07
half a bad thorn, his hair looked oily, his eyes were two different
1:12
colors, one gray and the other yellow. His jaw was very pronounced and
1:19
he looked strong. The guy smelled different. It didn' t stink dirty
1:26
Its smell was more like a mixture of rotten meat gas and blood, something
1:30
very rare. I asked the custodians where they had taken him and they replied
1:34
that they had grabbed him in the courtyard of a sleeping house next to the
1:38
lifeless body, a child and a dog. The neighbors of that house were
1:44
the ones who had made a call to report that in a wasteland near the
1:48
colony they had found the body of one of their neighbors. I had big
1:53
bites when they went to the dead woman' s house, there was the
1:57
guy. One of the custodians made a mocking meal and said something like that
2:01
he had shut the dagger' s mouth. The dagger was a companion who
2:06
was always saying that he was the strongest of all of us, that he
2:10
was good for beatings and that he was always sent to grab strong subjects because
2:15
he could subdue them. Surprise took me when I saw the dago enter.
2:21
It came all hit and with a face of brutal annoyance. He went by
2:24
without saying hello or anything behind him. He was coming to another partner,
2:30
I asked him what had happened. Turns out when they woke up the detainee,
2:35
he went crazy. The dago gave them to him as brave and wanted
2:38
to subject him alone, but he did not last a minute for the detainee.
2:42
Among the other three, he had to be removed from his hands so
2:46
that the dago would not end up dead. The detainee did not say anything
2:50
during his statement, nor his name, nor anything seemed mute. We didn
2:54
' t know if at least he spoke Spanish. Like he didn' t
2:59
say anything. He was charged with all the charges of the day and he
3:01
didn' t appeal, so we put him in his cell. When the
3:06
dago left the infirmary, he asked where we had put the new inmate.
3:10
The partner intended to move him. From Cella to put him in a nearby
3:15
place of the most troubled, to be given a lesson, because in the
3:20
place where we had put him were quiet people, because we didn' t
3:23
want him to beat himself up with everyone. If he had beaten the dago,
3:28
he could kill more than one of the prisoners. We told him it
3:32
was not necessary to move him, but he became foolish and went to move
3:38
him, but it was only because no one wanted to accompany him. I
3:42
went to look a little far in case he took care of anything when he
3:46
moved him and took him to his new cell. At the time of passing
3:51
through the corridor that had cells on both sides, the comments and laughter of
3:55
the other inmates were heard. It was normal that reception in s among them,
4:00
they already knew that the dago was taking him there to be beaten.
4:04
It hadn' t been a half hour since he was left with the troublemakers.
4:09
When desperate screams began to be heard, four went to see who was
4:15
beating the new one, but they remained silent when they saw that the one
4:18
who was shouting was one of the worst inmates in the prison. The new
4:24
man had broken all his fingers in one hand and had it on his neck.
4:29
None of the four dared to struggle with the new inmate. They had
4:33
to yell at him until he let go. The prisoner they had to rescue
4:38
didn' t have a good time at night, and everyone knew that someone
4:42
had bent it and that' s the worst thing that could happen to an
4:46
inmate. People who had to share a cell with the new one preferred sleeping
4:50
in the hallway because that guy had caused them the same feeling he gave me
4:55
when I first saw him. The next day there was a rumor among the
5:00
inmates that during the morning the strange noise similar to that of a dog had
5:04
been heard. That same week, the strange inmate had a strong encounter with
5:11
one of the guards when he was on the tour at an hour when everyone
5:15
was supposed to be inside his cells. The prisoner demanded that he be given
5:18
some raw meat. Evidently, the guard ignored him. Then the prisoner pulled
5:25
his arm out of the cell, grabbed the guard' s arm and pulled
5:29
him inward. As if he wanted to get him through bars making his face
5:33
hit very hard against bars. He tried to free himself, but he didn
5:39
' t make it, so without a choice, he pulled his gun and
5:43
shot him in the leg, but the prisoner didn' t react as if
5:47
it didn' t hurt him. He still had the guard. Strongly held
5:51
he fired again and then the prisoner released him. The sound of both shots
5:58
made the entire prison remain silent. The prisoners, who witnessed that, could
6:02
not believe it. Speaking to the guard, he said a couple of weird
6:08
facts mentioned that after the first shot, the inmate' s eyes changed color.
6:13
According to the two eyes they became a deep red color. He also
6:17
said that the detainee had grunted like a dog. That thing about me grunting
6:24
like a dog. It was suspiciously similar to what those in the hallway who
6:29
had heard dog grunts had said. I don' t remember if it was
6:33
one of the guards or one of those who worked in the kitchen, but
6:38
someone mentioned that it looked like that man was an agual that naval thing.
6:42
It was nothing new. I was already a few years old that I had
6:46
heard that in Ecatepec there was an avalanche. Like many people, he had
6:50
a friend who claimed to have met the navaal and managed to escape alive.
6:57
The thing about the so- called weird prisoner being an avalanche was just like
7:00
a gossip. Release One week passed, one night a riot broke loose.
7:06
He wasn' t the first to touch me, nor was he the most
7:11
violent. Many prisoners were out of control, including the weird one. He
7:15
separated from the riot group and went to a remote area near the periphery.
7:23
I didn' t see this because I was trying to control the situation,
7:27
but I found out from people who saw it. As soon as midnight came,
7:32
the prisoner began to emit a guttural sound. His face was reddened by
7:36
effort. Then he began to walk in circles using his four limbs as if
7:43
he were a dog. I made a sound that I didn' t know
7:47
exactly how to describe, but they said it was a pretty serious sound.
7:51
Then they noticed how the veins of his arms were highlighted. Following that,
7:57
he began to hear as if his bones were retreading as the vertebrae of his
8:01
spine began to protrude from his back. One could say that the prisoner became
8:07
what the witnesses described as a vaal. Then he ran away, leaving the
8:13
few astonished witnesses. When all this came to my ears, I remained very
8:18
skeptical. Honestly, of course I believed in the navals, but it'
8:24
s one thing to believe that somewhere one of those monsters must walk and something
8:28
very different, even to consider that one of the prisoners who came to Chiconautla
8:33
was actually a naval. The probability of meeting a genuine nagual should be virtually
8:39
zero. That' s why I stayed skeptical. However, with the passing
8:45
of weeks and months things began to happen in the vicinity. I found out
8:50
from the relatives of some prisoners. I understand that many of us who have
8:56
worked in prisons have a very bad reputation. And it' s not like
8:58
I was a talking pigeon. I did my things, but at least I
9:03
never did anything against those who behaved well inside the prison. I could even
9:09
say that there were four inmates whom I considered friends, especially because I knew
9:13
some member of his family and when they went to visit them, we never
9:20
needed to talk about one or two things, and so I learned of rare
9:24
situations that were happening. The first was at Whitzila Colony in Hidalgo. They
9:30
had found a woman' s body. The crime scene was identical to the
9:35
one we had awarded the strange prisoner. Then, in the neighborhood of La
9:39
Cruz There by Temascalapa being more specific in the terrain that is between the streets
9:46
Álamos and Jorge Jiménez. There was the sighting of a mysterious creature that looked
9:50
like a giant dog. Then, at the Abastos headquarters on its way to
9:56
Tulancingo, something had killed some dogs. They had been bitten to death and,
10:01
according to what they told me, they were not dog bites. And
10:05
so things continued to happen until one night I was going from jail to my
10:11
house on a motorcycle. He wasn' t making much progress yet. I
10:16
had just passed the dump when a little later, between the bushes I was
10:20
pictured seeing a silhouette that looked at me immediately I stopped because before there I
10:26
had already been assaulted. That first time I had tried to get past the
10:31
bike fast, but I got shot. That' s why, when I
10:35
saw something moving in the bushes, I stopped. My intention was to turn
10:39
around and walk away to avoid danger. But before he did, that which
10:43
was hidden behind the bushes came out and stood before him. He wasn'
10:48
t a thief, he wasn' t even a human being. It wasn
10:52
' t an animal either. It was like an intermediate point between beast and
10:56
person. He grunted at me in a way and in which a dog definitely
11:01
doesn' t grunt. The sound looked more like the bears make. Of
11:05
course, the creature in front of me wasn' t a bear. His
11:09
snout was long and he could see huge fangs. I didn' t have
11:13
any hair. Her skin gave the impression of being impregnated by the roña.
11:18
His ears were long, pointed and crooked. They almost looked like horns.
11:24
His limbs looked very long, but the creature did not look tall, because
11:28
his legs had them bent in a very rare way. One thing I don
11:33
' t forget is that her eyes were deeply black. The eyes of any
11:39
animal reflect the lights, but the eyes of that creature did not reflect the
11:43
light. That I was coming from the lighthouse of my motorcycle I couldn'
11:48
t tell if I had a tail or not, because my view was frontal.
11:52
I was paralyzed for a few brief moments, but when that creature got
11:58
up on two legs, I reacted s s s to run back to the
12:00
bike and I started fast the monster started to run after me. I didn
12:05
' t know when he stopped following me, but the less I remembered,
12:11
he didn' t run after me anymore. If you ask me, I
12:13
do. I think what I saw and chased was a gual and it'
12:16
s a big coincidence that I found him after that prisoner' s escape.
12:20
Strange that a few witnesses swore to me by their mother that they saw him
12:26
as transformed into a horrible beast. The story I' m going to tell
12:37
happened to me more than forty years ago. I now have fifty- five
12:41
recently completed them. I' m not Mexican by birth, but I'
12:46
ve lived here practically my whole life. I studied here from elementary school to
12:50
college. Therefore, I identify myself as Mexican. In short, we had
12:56
just left the country in which we lived and moved to Veracruz it was very
13:01
difficult to adapt more than anything because of the climate that, at least in
13:05
that area of Veracruz, the climate was completely different from the climate that I
13:11
was used to. There I met the fans, because where we lived before
13:16
there was no reason they were not necessary, it was not hot, but
13:20
in Veracruz, especially in the season, when we arrived, the heat was
13:24
horrible. We finally got used to it and we could already play and run,
13:31
even if it was a little bit without feeling suffocated. It had been
13:35
a few months before certain strangeness began to occur. One of the first ones,
13:39
in fact, happened to me was lunchtime, so I went down,
13:43
but before I got my toys settled. In a certain place and in a
13:48
certain way, I was always very obsessive about having everything accommodated. That'
13:52
s why I remember that experience. I finished the food plate. I don
13:58
' t remember what it was. My father was not used to eating a
14:01
fruit after food, because he said that way the teeth kept less dirty.
14:07
When I finished the dish, I grabbed an apple and then went to my
14:11
room. The moment he walked in right away, I realized he wasn'
14:15
t like I had left him. He was well- off in another way.
14:20
Besides, the toys I had been using before I went down to eat
14:24
weren' t all at the same time and I was the first to get
14:30
up from the table. Therefore, I knew that no one had entered my
14:33
room to move them. Besides, my sisters never liked my toys. I
14:39
went back to the table. My sisters and parents were still there. I
14:43
told them about the room and they told me that, I was sure that
14:46
way I had made things better, but that I just didn' t remember.
14:50
I' ve never been to argue. That' s why I didn
14:54
' t plead, but I knew something had happened in the room. I
14:58
spent the rest of the day looking for my toys, but I never found
15:01
them. I turned the whole house around about two or three times and nothing.
15:05
The toys had vanished as if by magic. That may have just been
15:11
a curious event, but a week later, my sisters told my mom that
15:16
a doll of each one had been lost. My mother, the first thing
15:22
she did was blame me. He assumed that, perhaps I believed my sisters
15:26
had lost my toys and by way of revenge, I had done something wrong
15:31
to their wrists. When my father arrived from work, my mother told him
15:37
to scold me, but instead, he asked me to tell him everything I
15:39
had done on the day in order and for hours afterwards he spoke to my
15:43
sisters and asked them at what point they had lost their wrists. It turned
15:50
out that when his wrists disappeared, I was taking a bath. Therefore,
15:56
it was not possible that I had taken them. My sisters made a tantrum.
16:02
My father ignored them and went to lie down at dinner. I went
16:06
to my room and my mother trying to calm my sisters helped them look for
16:11
the dolls did the same thing I had done days before, going around the
16:15
house several times without finding anything. The situation got a little more complicated when
16:22
something else was lost at the end of the month. But it wasn'
16:26
t a toy. It was nothing of mine or of my sisters. The
16:30
object that was lost was an expensive gold watch that my mother had inherited from
16:33
her grandmother. My mother had an invaluable emotional bond with that watch, not
16:40
only because her grandmother had given it to her, but because that watch was
16:44
the only object left of our life in the previous country. Considering that context,
16:49
it was not strange to me that my mother went completely mad when she
16:55
realized that her precious watch had disappeared. She wouldn' t even try to
17:00
blame us, because she was aware that my sisters and I didn' t
17:06
know where she kept that watch. Mom put her head room, emptied the
17:11
drawers, pulled the dresses out of her closet and emptied my father' s
17:15
closet. He removed the mattress, moved the bed base, removed everything he
17:19
had on the shelves, checked every inch inside those four walls and couldn'
17:25
t find his watch. When Dad arrived, he found her inconsolable. My
17:30
mother was in a sea of tears, screaming and fanning things, a set
17:34
of cups for the porcelain ceiling. My sisters and I had to be very
17:41
well behaved for the rest of the week not to make her angry, because
17:45
we knew that if Mom was angry, we would go very badly. We
17:48
all went to the market on Sunday. It was placed on the main avenue
17:53
of the village about twenty minutes in the car that my father had. In
17:59
one of the posts sns I saw some figures that caught my attention a lot.
18:03
They were like rare animals, but painted of all colors. I parted
18:07
a little bit from my mother to go see those figures. When my mom
18:11
realized it, she came with me and before she pulled me in the ear,
18:15
the person who was in charge of the position, who was already a
18:19
fairly old woman, asked my mother if strange things did not happen to her
18:23
home. My mother, somewhat puzzled by that woman' s question, replied
18:29
yes, and then he questioned her how she knew that. To what the
18:33
woman told him is that, far behind that tree, I noticed that a
18:38
chane who was watching you and your family, My mother frowned like she wanted
18:42
to imply that I had not even the slightest idea that it was that mint
18:48
chaneque the lady explained to my mother that the chaneques were entities belonging to the
18:52
underworld, dangerous creatures, that they surrounded places with lots of vegetation that,
18:59
at best, would make us have bad times, but if they wanted to,
19:03
they could even kill one of us. Getting into the talk, I
19:11
asked him how we could know those beings were inside the house. The lady
19:18
' s response caused me a lot of fear, because I felt it overwhelming
19:23
she said you miss things that can' t be missed. My mother pulled
19:27
my arm and we walked away from there. As we walked to where my
19:33
father and my sisters were. Mom threatened me by saying that if I was
19:37
commenting on something she had told us, the old lady would go really wrong.
19:40
In addition, he added that all that was pure Nonsense days later,
19:45
when my mother was going to serve breakfast, she realized that there was not
19:49
a single dish in the cupboard or sink. Dad was just getting to the
19:56
dining room. I gestured to him to understand that my mother was about to
20:00
explode. Then, before Mom told her something, she put a big smile
20:04
and sent her to change, because we' d go out to eat her
20:10
like she wanted to plead. But Dad repeated to him that he was going
20:14
to change and he did. As soon as my mother got into her room,
20:18
Dad asked me what had happened. I told him all the dishes were
20:21
gone. He just buffed and told us that we too were going to change
20:27
in order to avoid conflict because of the lack of dishes. We were outside
20:30
the house all day. We arrived at night before we went to sleep.
20:37
My mom said that the next day we would go to mass, because surely
20:41
what was happening in the house was because I wasn' t going to church.
20:45
The next day, which was Sunday, we went to church. When
20:51
the Mass was over. My parents stayed for a moment talking to the priest,
20:55
My sisters were with them and I was standing at the doors of the
20:59
church. That' s where a little girl came up to me and asked
21:03
me where she was from. I told him and then I asked him if
21:06
he knew anything about the chaneques. The girl, very quiet, as if
21:10
it were anything, told me that the chaneques stole the souls of the people
21:14
who kept them in a jar and then ate them. Over the next few
21:21
weeks, objects, small but remarkable things, continued to be lost. The
21:26
salt boat, a towel, some shoe every day was something. One day,
21:32
while we were all having dinner, we heard a very clear, unmistakable
21:37
cry. It wasn' t a slight sound. It was clearly a cry
21:41
Sitting at the table, we exchanged glances waiting for one of us to say
21:48
something, but no one did. We ended dinner quietly and then went to
21:51
bed the next day. Again, during dinner we heard again something that was
21:57
not to be heard on that occasion. It wasn' t tears, it
22:02
was laughter. Not a laugh, macabre or intimidating. It was a laugh
22:07
like kids playing my dads. They realized that my sisters and I were scared.
22:12
That night we slept in the room with them. In the early morning,
22:17
I half got out of the room for a drink. When I was
22:21
on my way back to my parents' room. At the bottom outside the
22:25
bathroom, I could see a creature was the size of the least of my
22:30
sisters. Her skin was like gray, greenish, her ears, instead of
22:33
being glued to her face, they had them as exits to the sides that
22:37
creature of little stature looked at me confused and then went into the bathroom,
22:44
but did not open the door, only went through it. I had to
22:48
go to my room and change my scare clothes. I had peed at breakfast
22:55
and told my mother what had happened. Dad wasn' t here because he
23:00
found himself working. My mom kept thinking for a moment. Then, quietly,
23:06
I said that maybe what I had seen was a chaneque my sisters asked
23:08
what that was. Mom ordered me to shut up, but I didn'
23:15
t do it and I took advantage of it to comment on what the girl
23:21
had told me when we went to church, that the chaneques were stealing and
23:25
eating people' s souls. I' d better be quiet My mother went
23:30
crazy and beat me up in my life. When my father arrived and gave
23:33
me in the state in which he had left me, my mother spoke to
23:37
him to question her about what happened. My mother told him I was lying.
23:42
Dad defended me and reminded him that the last time she didn' t
23:47
believe me it turned out that I was telling the truth. My father meant
23:51
when my sisters' dolls were lost. This I would like not to say,
23:57
but it is important for what comes next. My father was upset because
24:02
it was already twice that my mother accused me of being a liar, in
24:06
addition to having left me very beaten, gave him a very strong slap,
24:11
only one with open hand. With that slap he sent my mother straight to
24:15
the ground the next day, As soon as my father went to work,
24:19
the lady of the market, who had told us about the chaneques, arrived.
24:23
He saw the bruise my mother had on her face. I was sitting
24:27
in the dining room that you could see from the door and that' s
24:32
why the lady also noticed my blows. The woman told my mother that we
24:37
were falling right where the chaneques wanted and warned her that if we didn'
24:41
t do something about it, someone would die very soon. In order not
24:47
to extend too much, my mom told my dad about the chaneques and also
24:51
told him that the lady was offering to help us. It turned out that
24:55
the lady was kind of a witch, that the five of us had to
24:59
do a ritual in or that three white- tailed deers would be sacrificed,
25:03
that the ritual would help a little, but it was not a guarantee that,
25:07
in the worst case, we would have to leave the city for the
25:11
chaneques to leave us alone. My father accepted and the five of us went
25:15
to the woman' s house to be able to do the ritual, trusting
25:18
that that would put an end to our bad situation. When we arrived,
25:22
the woman in her yard already had the three white- tailed deers tied,
25:27
explained the ritual step by step. First my mother would take three glasses of
25:33
glass and fill them with the brew that was inside the cauldron then give me
25:37
and my two sisters a glass. Then the three of us would give that
25:42
brew to the deers. When the animals took the liquid, they would die

a few seconds later, my father would have to take a dagger and pull
25:52
both eyes out of each dead deer. That was very traumatic for me and
25:56
I' m absolutely sure it wasn' t for my sisters too, so
26:02
much so that I just remembered them. I get total goose bumps. We
26:07
did the ritual. Then the woman put her six deer eyes into syrup and,
26:11
finally, sewed us on bracelets that she already had made. My parents
26:15
and sisters were given a bracelet, but I got two, because I had
26:18
seen one. Therefore, he was the one who needed more protection. The
26:26
bracelets served for a few months, we jumped year round and little by little
26:30
strange things began to happen. Again we returned to the woman with the intention
26:34
of performing the ritual again, but she told us that it could no longer
26:37
be done, that it only worked once that the only thing we could do
26:42
was to go away preferably to a place where there was not so much nature
26:48
so that the chaneques could not follow us was so we moved to Mexico City
26:55
and never had problems with those creatures again. Stories written and adapted by Ramiro contreras
